World-Ending Demon Emperor
Chapter 2213 - 1087: Target Earth! Void Empire!
Qingxuan asked, "Did you get what you wanted?"
Bulo smiled without answering.
Qingxuan said, "So, what will happen when The Ninth Energy Civilization breakthrough arrives?"
Bulo replied, "What do you mean, what will happen?"
Qingxuan said, "Will you keep your previous promise? Will you take everyone from the Dragon Demon Planet away?"
Bulo said, "How is that possible? I won’t take a single one."
Qingxuan said, "Not even Lanling’s family and children?"
Bulo said, "Of course not. Not only will I not take them, but before I leave, I will also eliminate every human, every member of the Demon Race on the Dragon Demon Planet."
Qingxuan said, "Why is that?"
Bulo said, "To prevent any future troubles, even one in ten thousand. Moreover, every soul is a precious energy."
Qingxuan said, "Is that Hope Galaxy you mentioned real? Did you find that star system where we can migrate?"
Bulo said, "Of course it’s real, and I’ve already found the location and coordinates. No need to go anymore. Just wait for The Ninth Energy Civilization breakthrough, and we can head there immediately."
Qingxuan said, "Where is that Hope Galaxy?"
Bulo said, "The Milky Way, the Solar System, Earth!"
Qingxuan was incredulous, "Lanling’s hometown?"
Bulo said, "Yes, Lanling’s hometown."
Qingxuan said, "But according to Lanling’s memory, that’s a world of technological civilization, not suitable for our kind of energy civilization."
Bulo said, "That’s entirely not the case. It’s a rare vibrant star system in the universe. Just a little modification is needed, and the energy of the entire Solar System is no less than that of the Dragon Demon Star System. It’s our excellent second home."
Qingxuan said, "Then what about the tens of billions of people on Earth?"
Bulo said, "Ninety-nine point nine nine percent will be wiped out, becoming a source of spiritual energy. Leave a hundred thousand as living specimens to increase the diversity of intelligent life."
Qingxuan said, "So, you mean to destroy Earth’s civilization?"
Bulo said, "Of course, conquest necessarily ends with the demise of one civilization. Especially for a backward civilization like Earth, does it still have meaning and necessity?"
Qingxuan looked at Bulo for a long moment and said, "Despite the countless years, you are still our model. Honestly, when you made us swear allegiance to Lanling, calling him Your Majesty on our knees, we were truly startled, yet utterly unable to resist. Why didn’t you tell me beforehand?"
"Tell you beforehand, is that possible?" Bulo said, "Lanling is deeply scheming and extremely suspicious, and also very stubborn. Forceful methods are useless on him, he always yields to gentleness over might. To make him do something, you must move him, shake him. He is a person of sentiment; once moved and shaken, he will do anything for you, even die."
Qingxuan said, "So, you gave him unprecedented glory, made him the emperor of the lunar civilization, married me to him. Made all the Moon Temple Priests kneel to swear allegiance to him. Your act was so convincing that we all became completely immersed in the play, not knowing it was false."
Bulo said, "For this reason, he allowed me to copy his soul, to replicate Yao Xing within his cerebral domain. He would think there was another of himself, be willing to sacrifice himself."
Qingxuan said, "I am in awe."
"A monkey, just a monkey, is ultimately deceived and tricked," Bulo said. "You’ve been married to him for over a month, sharing a bed many times, how do you feel?"
Qingxuan shrugged and said, "A monkey is just a monkey, extremely intriguing, with a forbidden thrill."
Bulo said, "Continue to break through the ninth-level energy civilization at full speed, then kill everyone on the Dragon Demon Planet, swallow all the power, let them contribute the last bit to our civilization." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Qingxuan said, "As you command!"
...
After Lanling jumped into the void vortex!
He had prepared for everything, endless darkness, endless pain.
However, nothing happened!
Unlike Emperor Moda, who was instantly devoured by Void Creatures, losing his body, even his soul essence, becoming a dark fog.
After Lanling entered the Void Abyss.
It was as if he entered an infinite night.
There was no space, time, no light.
Lanling couldn’t feel his body, couldn’t even feel his life.
Yet, he still lived.
However, the only thing he could sense was being alive.
This was a very strange and terrifying experience.
He couldn’t see, hear, or feel anything, any matter, yet he lived.
And far from controlling his body and soul.
In the Sea of the Netherworld, Lanling could still feel the drift, feel that everything around was energy, his soul drifting uncontrollably in the sea.
But in the Void Abyss, it was genuine darkness, so dark that there was nothing.
Weren’t Void Creatures spreading? Weren’t they devouring crazily?
Lanling couldn’t feel it at all.
Moreover, Lanling remembered very clearly how Emperor Moda was consumed by Void Creatures. They completely devoured his body, then his bloodline energy, and finally merged his soul with the Void Creatures, endless pain and torment.
Logically, Lanling should have been completely devoured the moment he entered the Void Abyss, right?
Yet, nothing happened?
Only silence!
Void Creatures didn’t come to devour him, nor did they merge with his soul!
This left Lanling very surprised, also very painful.
Because he wasn’t here to do nothing, wasn’t here to indulge in the ultimate serenity of darkness.
He wanted to shout, Emperor E Tian, where are you?
Yet, he couldn’t make any sound, nor release any energy signal.
As the master of Yao Xing, he came here, rendered powerless.
...
This cannot continue!
If it goes on like this, even after a thousand years, ten thousand years, he will gain nothing. Just waiting for those vile people from the lunar civilization to succeed, just waiting for the destruction of the Dragon Demon Planet and his wife and children.
He must change this.
First, after entering the Void Abyss, he wasn’t devoured by Void Creatures, why?
Lanling thought of a reason, which is that Emperor E Tian’s soul hasn’t completely collapsed yet. There cannot be two suns in the sky, nor two rulers among the people. As the master of Yao Xing, once devoured by these Void Creatures, he would certainly become the supreme soul of the entire Void Abyss.
Now that Emperor E Tian hasn’t collapsed, his soul won’t be devoured. And since it hasn’t been devoured, it means that he is independent of the Void Abyss plane, completely different energy.
It’s like a living soul entering the computer network, unable to perceive anything aside from oblivion. To sense the world of the computer network, one must turn oneself from a living soul into binary codes of 0 and 1.
To perceive everything inside the Void Abyss, Lanling must transform himself into an energy similar to that of Void Creatures, so he can observe the Void Abyss and truly enter its world.
So, how does he become an energy similar to Void Creatures?
Lanling had an idea. His soul merged with Yao Xing, like a cosmic river, with some stars bright and others dark.
What if he entered the microcosmic world of his own soul, blocking all the bright stars within the Soul Starry Sky, extinguishing them, turning them into dark stars, would he then become similar to Void Creatures?
This idea from Lanling was quite ingenious, and also terrifying.
Even more frightening is that he indeed did it. The consequences were dire, he might never return, might truly become a Void Creature, never able to turn back.
Lanling controlled the core triad of stars within his Soul Starry Sky, extinguishing them completely. Then severed all the glowing stars within his Soul Starry Sky.
"Swipe... Swipe, Swipe..."
Like the vast universe of a microcosmic world, clusters of twinkling stars in the Soul Starry Sky extinguished completely.
Moments later!
In Lanling’s Soul Starry Sky, all the bright stars extinguished.
Billions of trillions of Soul Stars turned into dark stars.
Then...
Lanling lost all sensation, even his sense of being alive disappeared entirely.
As if he had truly died, eternally trapped in darkness.
...
Who knows how much time passed, as if countless years or an instant.
When Lanling’s soul perception revived once more.
The world before him had changed entirely!
He had arrived in another world, one beyond the bounds of imagination, a completely dark Void Empire.
If he guessed right, Emperor E Tian was the supreme ruler of this Void Empire.
