Rise of the Demon God-Chapter 1569: Offer

"How? How could he return?!"

The Rainbow Phoenix kept flying, going through Various Spatial Portals. Her expressions were dark and her eyes filled with disbelief. Although she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she was convinced that this feeling wasn't wrong. It was definitely that person!

To come across that person was the last thing she wanted, especially since she knew what was going to happen to her if that happened.

Within a few seconds, the Rainbow Phoenix had traveled a lot of distance, yet she didn't stop, the innate fear still gripping her heart.

"It can't be! Why?! Why now?!" she kept repeating, still not calm. She kept feeling as if a pair of eyes was still looking at her.

She quickened her pace, desperately trying to shake off the unsettling feeling. Unfortunately, that feeling didn't go away.

Back in the midst of the battlefield, a smirk spread across Long Chen's lips.

"She's still so scared of me. To think that without my memories, I would've been worried about that little bird. Should I mess with her a little?" He pondered, not even paying any heed to the battlefield.

"What do you say?" he asked, looking at the Celestia Wolf next to him.

The Celestial Wolf howled, its eyes flashing with a strange shine.

"Alright. I'll let you talk to her." Long Chen nodded.

Although he didn't like the fact that the two divine beasts were enemies thanks to his relationship with the Second Ancestral God, he also didn't interfere. It was a problem for them to solve.

In this life, the Rainbow Phoenix had tormented the Ancient Myriad Beast a lot, trying to annihilate him. So it was only fair for the Ancient Myriad Beast to get its opportunity.

The Ancient Myriad Beast, after getting permission, ran forward. Its speed was so fast that even the Heavenly Emperor couldn't see it.

He raised his hand. The Heavenly Emperor felt as if his body was being controlled by an unknown force. He couldn't even react as his body flew forward.

The Heavenly Emperor's expressions darkened, realizing that the Rainbow Phoenix's escape had something to do with these people.

"Who are you?" The Heavenly Emperor asked, glaring at Long Chen.

Long Chen glanced back at the Heavenly Emperor. "I suppose you can call me the Master of your Ancestor. Then again, you can also call me what you've been calling me in this life..."

He raised his hand. The Heavenly Emperor felt as if his body was being controlled by an unknown force. He couldn't even react as his body flew forward.

He stepped as he reached Long Chen, who grabbed him by his throat.

"You're too weak for me to kill. However, I also can't forget some things. I guess it's what you call being petty." Long Chen smiled. For most people, it would've been a beautiful smile, but that same smile sent a chill down the Heavenly Emperor's spine.

Even if it was the Demonic Ancestor, he could still put up a fight. However, in front of Long Chen, he felt like a puppet whose threads were in his hands.

Initially, Long Chen was above personal feelings. However, after experiencing a mortal life, he had become slightly emotional. He could feel everything he went through.

For him, these people weren't insignificant ants anymore. They weren't insects that couldn't raise any emotions inside him.

His old personality had merged with his new personality, and his human personality had the lead in his emotions.

He couldn't forget all his desires from before he remembered his past. And one of those desires was related to the Heavenly Emperor.

He glanced at the Demonic Ancestor while his grip tightened around Heavenly Emperor's throat.

"I remember I made a promise to you in exchange for your knowledge. Although that promise holds no value since your knowledge had been mine in the first place, yet I feel like keeping up that promise."

He turned his attention back to the Heavenly Emperor. "I might've forgiven you, if you hadn't arrived here, intending to kill everyone here, including my family. For that, I can't forgive you."

He tightened his grip even further.

Seeing their Emperor in Long Chen's hands, the Heavenly Warriors were stunned. It took them a moment to come out of their daze. However, as they came to their senses, they were infuriated.

"Release him!" The entire Heavenly Army stopped focusing on the Demonic Warriors as they flew towards Long Chen, raising their weapons.

"I'm afraid I have no reason to listen to you." Long Chen replied. With a light wave of his hands, the entire Heavenly Army was frozen in space.

"I'll give you an opportunity to live," Long Chen told the Heavenly Emperor who was frozen in place, noticing Long Chen's powers. " If you kill them all, I'll let you go. But if you can't, I'll kill you instead."

With that offer, Long Chen released the Heavenly Emperor. His offer was simple. The Heavenly Emperor had to kill the people who were willing to fight for him.

Although Long Chen already had a guess about what the Heavenly Emperor was going to do, but he still looked forward to it.

The Heavenly Emperor tightened his grip around his sword, looking back at Long Chen. However, he knew that it was useless to attack him. It was an innate feeling that told him he couldn't escape.

He didn't know what happened to Long Chen, but now he was too powerful. He felt as if instead of Tian Shen devouring Long Chen, Long Chen had devoured him, completing the bloodline.

In the end, the Heavenly Emperor turned to his army. This was the only way for him to survive.

After a brief moment of thinking, he attacked his own army, cutting them like grass in a wild forest.

Even the Generals of Heaven couldn't believe that their own Emperor was killing them, all to save his own life, especially when they were in this position because they tried to save him.

Their eyes looked in disbelief as they died, one after another.

The entire Heavenly Army disappeared in the blink of an eye, only the Heavenly Emperor left behind, his entire being covered in the blood of his people.

The Heavenly Emperor looked at Long Chen after finishing everyone. "I've done as you told me."

"That's true. You've done as I told you," Long Chen nodded. However, his eyes still gave a surreal feeling to the Heavenly Emperor.

Long Chen looked towards the Godly Beasts. "The Heavenly Emperor has won his freedom. But it's not the same for you. After all, you've also come here for the same reason."

The Godly Beast Clans looked at each other, their eyes filled with uncertainty. They had come to witness the confrontation between Long Chen and the Heavenly Emperor, but they had not expected to be directly involved in the aftermath.

Long Chen continued, his voice calm yet firm, "I understand your desire for freedom. I offer you a choice as well. You can either die at my hands, or win your freedom just like the Heavenly Emperor."

"What do we have to do?" The God Beast Kings exclaimed. If it was just about killing their own people, they were willing as well as long as they could survive.

But to their surprise, that wasn't the task they were given.
