Venerable Demon Chef
Chapter 363 - 360: The Human Race’s Inferiority
High in the heavens, the same patch of clouds lingered.
The moment Mo Qi led the group into the Transmission Channel to depart, the little girl, Yan, also vanished.
When she reappeared, she was already deep underground.
Her form was no longer that of a little girl, but the mature, voluptuous, and utterly bewitching Queen Mo Yan!
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
All the Nether Race members immediately awoke from their meditation, knelt on one knee, their faces filled with reverence and fervor.
"No need for formalities. Rise," Queen Mo Yan said with a wave of her hand.
Looking at her clansmen, whose auras were now clearly much stronger than before, Queen Mo Yan nodded in satisfaction.
She felt a renewed sense of gratitude toward Mo Qi.
If not for the Nether Crystals Mo Qi had provided, it would have taken the Nether Race at least another thousand years to recover to their current state.
More importantly, with the Nether Crystals, the bloodlines of these clansmen would be greatly enhanced, and their future would be bright.
"Ah Bai, how did things go?" Queen Mo Yan pushed aside her stray thoughts and asked the white-robed young man.
The white-robed young man remained expressionless. "Reporting to the Queen, the culprit who rashly used Immortal Level Power has been executed."
"Very good. And what about the investigation into the Immortal Realm?"
The white-robed young man organized his words before speaking. "A short while ago, the Saint Ancestors of the Immortal Realm made a joint announcement. They intend to select talented individuals from across the entire continent."
"That is why the Hall of Envoys descended upon our ancestral land."
"I suspect the Immortal Realm’s goal is to train troops and prepare for war, all to strengthen their own forces."
Queen Mo Yan frowned. "Train troops and prepare for war? Who are they preparing for? Us?"
The white-robed young man shook his head. "It’s unclear, but based on the timing, there is a seventy percent chance it is because of us."
Queen Mo Yan pondered for a moment before shaking her head. "No, that’s not right! Not long after I awoke, my spirit roamed the Immortal Realm. I announced my race’s return to the rulers of the Human Race, and it was then that I happened upon a scene of the Human Race’s Saint Ancestors meeting."
"My race’s return might have been a catalyst, but it is by no means the main reason for the Immortal Realm’s war preparations. If I am not mistaken, that silly boy is their true target!"
The white-robed young man fell silent for a moment, then couldn’t help but ask, "How can you be so sure?"
Queen Mo Yan didn’t explain much. Her words were cryptic, as if holding something back. "There are some things you do not know. The matters involved run too deep! Tell me, where is the silly boy’s next stop?"
The white-robed young man quickly composed himself and said in a low voice, "The Demon Spirit Battlefield!"
"The Demon Spirit Battlefield?!" Queen Mo Yan exclaimed in surprise.
"That’s right. The Saint Ancestors of the Immortal Realm want to turn the Demon Spirit Battlefield into a proving ground for new talent. All the selected members of the Human Race must stay inside for a full fifty years."
Queen Mo Yan’s expression instantly turned grim.
She murmured to herself, repeating the three words over and over: ’Demon Spirit Battlefield.’
"The Human Race’s ambition is quite something, maintaining the Demon Spirit Battlefield for so many years. Don’t they ever get tired of it?" Queen Mo Yan was speechless.
The white-robed young man’s tone was placid. "The Human Race has always been this way. They are belligerent, greedy, and exceedingly aggressive. They have no bottom line. They are born destroyers, their hearts brimming with evil."
Hearing this, Queen Mo Yan’s brow smoothed, and she let out a soft chuckle. Shaking her head, she said, "Ah Bai, you are mistaken. They are not born destroyers, nor are their hearts filled with evil."
"The reason they are belligerent, greedy, exceedingly aggressive, and fond of starting wars is that they are filled to the bone with inferiority and a lack of confidence."
For once, the young man’s deadpan expression broke, and a flicker of curiosity appeared in his eyes.
"This subordinate is dull. Please enlighten me, Your Majesty."
Queen Mo Yan smiled. "Ah Bai, although the continent is now ruled by the Human Race, you mustn’t forget that the time since their rise to power is insignificant compared to the eons they spent enslaved by other races."
"Think about it. For hundreds of millions of years before this, the Human Race was constantly treated with contempt and ostracized, looked down upon by other races. Now that they’ve suddenly risen to power, they naturally never want to return to their old lives."
"So what do they do? Of course, they suppress all other races at any cost. It would be best if they could completely exterminate every race other than their own."
"That is why a saying circulates among the Human Race: ’Those who are not our kin are sure to have different hearts.’"
"It sounds very reasonable, but in reality, it’s a manifestation of their lack of confidence and fear. The Human Race is afraid of being dominated by other races again. They are afraid their ruling dynasty will be overthrown."
The white-robed young man nodded thoughtfully.
"Your Majesty, should this subordinate make a trip to the Demon Race? To ensure Mo Qi remains safe in the Demon Spirit Battlefield."
"There’s no need." Queen Mo Yan thought for a moment, then added, "The Human Race wants to use the Demon Race to probe the silly boy’s identity. But the secrets he carries are far greater than they imagine. I’m afraid they are going to suffer a double loss for their efforts."
"However, Ah Bai, I must make a trip to the Immortal Realm. During this time, you are to watch over our people closely. Have them absorb the power of the Nether Crystals as quickly as possible and increase their strength!"
"In the near future, I will need you all!"
As soon as she said this, not just the white-robed young man, but every member of the Nether Race’s eyes flashed with a keen light. In one voice, they declared, "We would go through fire and water for Your Majesty!"
Queen Mo Yan took a deep breath, and with a flash, her figure vanished.
’Silly boy, I’ll go to the Immortal Realm first to test the waters for you. Don’t you worry. I will take responsibility for the disaster I caused all those years ago!’
...
At the bottom of the Wailing Abyss, Nangong An, who had been "ruined" beyond recognition by the Pig Emperor, slowly opened his eyes.
The first thing he saw was Liu Hui’s icy eyes.
"You old bastard, you killed my parents. Did you ever imagine this day would come?"
Nangong An, physically and mentally exhausted, shot Liu Hui a disdainful glance.
He wanted to use this to provoke Liu Hui into finishing him off quickly.
’Heaven knows what he had experienced Within the Pass!’
For the current Nangong An, death would be a release.
"Heh, you want to die? It’s not that simple!"
How could Liu Hui not know what Nangong An was thinking? The first reaction of everyone who had been "graced" by the Pig Emperor was to wish for death.
SWISH!
Liu Hui’s arm transformed into a Dragon Claw. He seized Nangong An and began dragging him into the distance.
They weren’t far from Uncle Niu’s grave, and Liu Hui had no intention of letting Nangong An’s filthy blood defile this place.
Seeing this, Qian Duoduo hurried after them. Before Liu Hui killed Nangong An, he had a question that needed answering.
’Who was the one who poisoned him back then?!’
Meanwhile, Liu Ruyan and the others silently followed Mo Qi to Uncle Niu’s grave.
The Wailing Abyss was shrouded in darkness year-round, with extremely faint light. So, even though several months had passed, the grave looked just as it had at the beginning, with no weeds or other growth.
Mo Qi said nothing. With a wave of his hand, he took out a complete set of cooking utensils.
This included a stove, pots, bowls, ladles, and a spatula, as well as various Demon Beast meats and Spirit Medicines. In an instant, the area was flooded with the radiant light of these treasures; he had everything imaginable.
