Chapter 838: Long Haochen’s Ancestry? (III)

Agares possessed a human bloodline in the first place. And, after he became an adult, he became more and more influenced by human culture. At the same time, he became more and more disgusted by his identity as a demon, which w3as why his most beloved consort also happened to be a human. However, even among the Moon Demon Clan, the subordinates that Agares truly trusted only form a third of the clan, with even fewer people knowing this secret. He was forced to be cautious! He wanted to overthrow the Demon God Emperor’s reign, yet he also held deep fear towards the Demon God Emperor. Exactly because he was the closest to the Demon God Emperor, he knew the terror of the Demon God Emperor the best.

However, the Demon God Emperor and the Star Demon God’s trap against Long Haochen last time was planned out just too prudently. Even Agares did not know about the crucial parts. When he returned to core city with the Demon God Emperor, he knew something wrong had happened. However, he had always been by the Demon God Emperor’s side back then, so he was unable to pass on the news, which lead to Long Haochen’s death.

During the few years after Long Haochen’s ‘death’, not only did Yue Ye vanish, Agares also controlled his organisation in a more secretive manner. He knew that there were probably no more chances left for him.

However, he had never imagined that Long Haochen would remain alive and become the chairman of the Temple Union. This also gave him a new opportunity. At the same time, he used Yue Ye as the person to establish contact to provide Long Haochen with full support. If it were not for Agares’ delays, how would the information have been withheld from the Demon God Emperor, leaving him in the dark about all the crucial issues?

But just like what the Demon God Emperor had said, his strength prevent Agares from staking it all abd betraying the Demon God Emperor on the battlefield. He need to think for his own clansmen. Unless Long Haochen defeated the Demon God Emperor and settled the general situation, he would not revolt so easily.

Looking at Long Haochen’s gaze from beneath the mask, the Demon God Emperor said, “You’ve been very cautious in your thoughts. There’s one aspect that you’ve determined that’s very accurate. On this battlefield, the most critical part is me and you. If you can defeat me, then the humans will win, and my race’s reign of six thousand years will probably come to an end. However, if you lose, everything will just return to how it was before. The humans will be completely suppressed by me. I’ll even make it that not a single person from the temple will exceed the sixth step ever again.”

Long Haochen said indifferently, “Your majesty’s already told me so much nonsense, so it’s time for you to talk about your reason, right?”

The Demon God Emperor’s smile grew heavier, “Of course. Otherwise, how will you yield to me?”

Long Haochen said coldly, “It’s the middle of the day, so just stop dreaming.”

The Demon God Emperor ignored Long Haochen’s smart remark, “Actually, it’s good that you crippled Ah’Bao. It’s basically paving a path for your future. You’re also very clever. It’s possible to say that you’ve amounted to at least thirty percent of the reason why the humans were able to achieve an overwhelming victory this time. You’ve also stopped me all alone, giving enough opportunities to your people. It’s very impressive. Unfortunately, even the smartest people can miss something. Your failure just happened to lie in the most important point. Why do I give you special treatment? Why was I so reluctant and so pained in killing you in the past? Of course it wasn’t because of your talent. Instead, it was because...”

Reaching there, he paused and suddenly widened his eyes which had always been squinted, “It’s because my bloodline flows through your body.”

When the Demon God Emperor said that, Long Haochen only felt like he was struck by a hammer. He immediately retreated to a hundred meters away. The white light from the Armour of Eternity pulsed with great instability, while his face was filled with shock.

Long Haochen had never thought the Demon God Emperor would say something like that. He instinctively raised his Sword of Eternity.

However, the Demon God Emperor use this opportunity to launch an attack while he was in shock. He remained the same as before, while his gaze became even more gentle.

As his hair drifted about, the Demon God Emperor smiled at him, “No matter how outstanding you are, no matter how much effort you put in for the humans, it’s all just demonstrating your ability to me in my eyes. You should understand now why I treated you as a second successor when I first met you. Of course, that’s no longer the case now. In my heart, you are the primary successor of my race. You are very clever. You are intelligent and you are capable. However, no matter how capable you are, my bloodline flows through your body. We are one family. Consider it. If we work together, is there anything on the continent that can resist against us? I can give you whatever you want. This Shengmo Dalu is ours in the first place. You are the saint, the Sheng, while I am the demon, the Mo. We have always been one family.”

“Shut up!” Long Haochen yelled out, “You’re lying! I don’t believe you!”

The Demon God Emperor smiled indifferently, “It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not. This is the truth. Think about all the times I’ve met you in the past. If it weren’t for my bloodline flowing through you, you would have died many times already. I met you for the first time in the Exorcist Mountain Pass, while the second time I met you was in the Moon Demon Palace. Back then, you were disguised as Yue Ye’s maidservant. I knew since then that you had an extraordinary connection with her. However, I never touched you, nor did I take you back to the palace, because I was waiting, waiting for you to grow. Once you obtained enough strength to raise my attention, your status as a second successor because established as well. However, I never thought you would grow so quickly and possess such surprising talent. It seems like combining the bloodlines of humans and demons really does make it even more excellent!”

“No, no! I don’t believe you!” Long Haochen’s heart surged with utter shock. Before he was even ten, he became determined to become a knight. In the past twenty years, he had gone through all kinds of hardships, falling over countless times and also climbing up, coming close to death constantly and growing through battles. He had reached today step by step, finally achieving greatness. He had become the chairman of the Temple Union and the Divine Knight of Glory and Leadership. It was possible to say that he had spent his entire life working towards this, finally reaching today with sufficient luck.

Now that the demons and humans clashed for one last time, when he believed he was about to face the emperor of the demons in a final battle, he learnt that his body actually contained the blood of demons, coming from the Devil Dragons. The impact was just far, far too heavy.

No matter how strong-willed Long Haochen was, he struggled to control his emotions then and there. If the Demon God Emperor was telling the truth, then what had he been working towards all these years? Before him, the demon who had brought countless calamities to mankind and started two holy wars was actually his...

Long Haochen was afraid of thinking any further. He only felt that his head was in pain. As he looked at the Demon God Emperor, his fighting spirit had been completely destablised. The aura of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation even struggled to keep his emotions under control.

Looking at Long Haochen, the Demon God Emperor was very satisfied, “You’ve done a lot and I’ve also committed many mistakes. However, one of them was right, which rendered all the efforts that the humans put in earlier void. I know you don’t want to believe it, but whether you believe it or not, it’s the truth.”

“I’ve investigated your history with great detail. You didn’t grow up in the Holy City or the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, right? You come from Odin Town, probably a human township close to the Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass. You and your mother depended on each other since you were born, while your father, Long Xingyu, was separated from the two of you for ten years. Only afterwards did he find and recognise you two. I remember that my subordinates had once reported to me that the Divine Knight of Adjudication and Trial appeared near Odin Town and killed a group of my powerhouses. That was probably when he discovered you. And when he began teaching you knight abilities, have you ever considered why your parents separated? Your mother knew Long Xingyu was a divine knight and that he happened to be at the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, so why didn’t she take you to go find him?”

Long Haochen’s face became paler and paler as he listened to the Demon God Emperor.

“Around thirty years ago, about a year before you were born, I accidentally discovered your mother and I brought her back to the Demon God Palace to live with me for a while. Afterwards, she threatened me using her own life, saying that she did not want to live among the demons any further. With no other choice, I sent her back to the Temple Alliance. Your mother’s one of the few women I’ve loved the most in my life, even surpassing my feelings towards Leng Xiao. If I’ve guessed correctly, she did not know how to face your father after she returned to the Temple Alliance, which was why she settled down secretly in Odin Town. The reason why Bai Yue was unable to face Long Xingyu until he found the two of you was because of me, and also partially because of you. If you don’t believe me, we can test our bloodline. Blood runs thicker than water. There is no such thing closer than bloodlines.”

As he said that, Fengxiu raised his hand and a droplet of deep, purple blood slowly oozed out from the wound on the back of his hand. He had purposefully prevented the injury from healing. The blood drifted over slowly and as it did, black and blue auras emerged and were severed from it. When the droplet of blood arrived before Long Haochen, all that was left was a transparent purple colour.

The Demon God Emperor had eliminated all the elements from his blood, only leaving behind the most pure power of the bloodline.

Long Haochen brought his index finger to his mouth and bit it rather blankly. Red blood that shone with a faint, golden colour dripped out and also flew into the air like the Demon God Emperor’s, removing all of the light element from it.

When the droplet of red blood and droplet of transparent, purple blood came into contact, the two droplets of blood produced a strange light at the same time. Afterwards, they slowly merged together.

Long Haochen was stunned. He knew exactly what it meant for blood to merge. Did it mean...
