Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Yang Kai said, “Mo Sheng is dead!”
Bei Limo blinked, almost thinking she had misheard. She turned her head to look at the giant figure beside her. The Great Demon God was clearly right in front of her, so why did Yang Kai say he was dead?
But soon, Bei Limo’s expression changed as she stared at Wu Kuang, “You’re not Lord Demon God!”
Although this giant body in front of her still belonged to the Great Demon God, the aura it exuded was completely different from before.
A burst of laughter rang out, “This king is Wu Kuang!”
Bei Limo’s beautiful eyes suddenly shrank to the size of needles as she asked in shock, “You took over his body?” She was not an idiot. On the contrary, as a Demon Saint, how much experience did she have? As soon as she realized that the Great Demon God’s body contained Wu Kuang’s Divine Soul, she immediately thought of the key point.
“More or less,” Wu Kuang replied indifferently, not bothering to explain any further.
Bei Limo sucked in a breath of cold air as she looked at Wu Kuang, then at Yang Kai, and then at the surrounding Great Emperor Realm masters.
The Great Demon God had actually died. Not only had he died, but he had also been possessed by Wu Kuang… Even if she couldn’t believe it, the truth was right in front of her, so she had no choice but to believe it. She hadn’t participated in the previous battle, but from the residual shockwaves of the battle and the situation of the Star Boundary’s Great Emperors, it was definitely an extremely tragic battle.
The final result was actually like this! The Demon Territory was defeated, the Star Boundary won, but it was also a miserable victory. This entire world was almost shattered and its vitality was greatly damaged.
As a Demon Saint, Bei Limo didn’t feel much grief. After all, she had joined the Star Boundary because of the Soul Brand and had drawn a clear line between herself and the other Demon Saints. Moreover, being controlled by the Great Demon God was quite a bad feeling. She was actually quite happy that the Great Demon God had been killed. Although Yang Kai’s Soul Brand could control her, it was not as thorough as the Great Demon God’s.
“I see!” Bei Limo nodded lightly, “What about the others?”
Looking around, she was the only one left among the Great Emperor and Demon Saints, and she couldn’t help feeling somewhat lonely.
“Chang Tian and Rumeng is fine, the other Demon Saints have all fallen.”
Bei Limo nodded slightly, accepting such an outcome, smiling slightly, “Congratulations.”
Yang Kai chuckled. This battle was so tragic, what was there to congratulate him about? Waving his hand, he said, “There are still many people from the Demon Race, you should go and handle them.”
Bei Limo nodded and flew out.
In this final battle, the Great Emperors, Demon Saints, and the other battlefields were all in a miserable state. This was especially true for the Half-Saint and Pseudo Emperors, many of whom had suffered heavy casualties. After the Great Demon God appeared, the Half-Saints who had sided with the Star Boundary also changed sides. Now that the Great Demon God had died, they were no longer under his control.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the remaining Demon Race members had long since given up on resisting. At this moment, all of them were gathered together, their eyes filled with confusion towards the future, leaving it to Bei Limo to handle.
The losses on the Star Boundary’s side were also huge, and almost all of High Heaven Palace’s Spirit Peaks had been wiped out, causing the original spiritual land to become a wasteland.
Counting the casualties and healing the wounded, the Star Boundary after the war was busy.
A day later, Yang Kai was the first to recover and released Chang Tian and Yu Rumeng from the Mysterious Small World. Yu Rumeng was fine, but Chang Tian is the same as Bei Limo, his Divine Soul had suffered some damage and it would take a long time to recover.
Moreover, after this battle, Chang Tian had obviously aged a lot, even his hair had become somewhat gray.
His lifespan wasn’t far off, and if it weren’t for this, he wouldn’t have wanted to accept Yang Kai as his successor and take over the Hundred Spirit Continent.
Now that his Divine Soul had been damaged, it would be extremely difficult for him to recover, and he would likely only have a few hundred years left to live.
To an ordinary person, a few hundred years was equivalent to a few lifetimes, but to an expert like Chang Tian, a few hundred years was nothing more than a blink of an eye. However, for someone like him, he had long ago put his life on the line and had lived an exciting life. Facing death, he could remain indifferent.
The three Demon Saints were busy gathering the remnants of the Demon Race while Yang Kai used his Great Emperor’s body to communicate with the will of the world to completely disperse the Demonic Qi from the Star Boundary. He had done this during the Great War, but at that time, the Great Demon God had obstructed him, so he had not been able to complete his task. Now that the Great Demon God had died and no one was stopping him, it was only natural that he wanted to restore the Star Boundary to its original state. Otherwise, the Demonic Qi would cause no end of trouble.
After a day of hard work, the entire Star Boundary had finally seen the light of day again, and Yang Kai was exhausted.
However, the world was unstable and the void was filled with giant spatial cracks, making it look extremely terrifying. The World Laws of the entire Star Boundary were also in chaos, seemingly unable to repair themselves.
The Great Emperors who had been acknowledged by the world were extremely clear about this. Currently, they were unable to mobilize much of the World Strength. If they were to ignore this Star Boundary, sooner or later it would be destroyed, and in the shortest time possible it would be a thousand years or even ten thousand years. The Star Boundary would soon follow the footsteps of the Demon Territory, and when that time came, it would collapse and the Star Boundary would no longer exist.
After another three days, the Great Emperors gradually recovered some of their strength and regained the ability to move. Although it would take a long time for them to recover from their injuries, it was not something that could be rushed.
High Heaven Palace was in ruins, and Yang Xiao and Yang Xue’s Passing of Time Temple was temporarily set as the meeting place.
The Temple floated in the air, and in the main hall, the Great Emperors, the two Dragon Race Elders, and the descendant of Heavenly Punishment, Zhang Ruoxi, were gathered together to discuss matters.
Li Wuyi stood in the hall and reported that the aftermath of the battle had been cleaned up. The survivors of the Star Boundary were now stationed outside High Heaven Palace, recuperating.
The only problem was how to deal with the surviving Demon Race.
The Demon Race, such as Bai Zhuo, Bai Ya and the other Half-Saints under the Great Demon God’s control, to suddenly change sides at the last moment was not their intention, so it was not their fault. However, the Demon Race’s army had killed many people from the Star Boundary, and now that the Demon Race’s momentum was gone, it was difficult to decide whether to kill these surviving Demon Race cultivators or not.
If they were to kill them, they definitely wouldn’t be able to resist. Now that most of the Demon Saints had died and the remaining three had joined the Star Boundary, if the Great Emperors really wanted to kill them, they wouldn’t stop them. The key was that there were many of them, more than tens of million. If they were to really kill all of them, who would bear the consequences?
If they didn’t kill them, how can they explain it to the dead Star Boundary cultivators?
Li Wuyi couldn’t make the decision, so he could only ask the various Great Emperors.
In the main hall, the Great Emperors’ Divine Senses surged as they silently conversed.
A moment later, Zhan Wuhen said, “In a battle between two armies, each side has its own master, so casualties are unavoidable. Now that the overall situation has been decided, let them live. However, the Star Boundary will not take them in, so Lord Void will handle this matter.”
“Yes!” Li Wuyi bowed, understanding.
Previously, Yang Kai had used the Mysterious Boundary Bead to swallow the entire Demon Territory, and in the territory of the Mysterious Boundary Bead, he had taken in many Demon Race cultivators and had never been released. Now, it is understandable if tens of millions of captives were to be taken into the Mysterious Small World by Yang Kai, there was nothing wrong with that.
Li Wuyi withdrew and passed on their decision to Yu Rumeng and the others to arrange the retreat of the Demon Race.
Inside the hall, Zhan Wuhen continued, “Yang Kai, I’ll have to trouble you with the matters of the Demon Race.”
Yang Kai nodded, “Rest assured, Senior Iron Blood, I will handle this matter.”
Zhan Wuhen said, “The matter of the Demon Race is a small matter, but what we urgently need to deal with now is the Star Boundary’s mess. I’m sure I don’t need to say anything, everyone has already felt that the Star Boundary won’t exist for long and will collapse sooner or later. We must first find a way out for the Human Race of the Star Boundary.”
Mo Huang asked, “Since Yang Boy can refine a second Demon Territory, can’t he refine a second Star Boundary?”
The situation of the Demon Territory was a lesson for the current Star Boundary. Yang Kai had used the Mysterious Boundary Bead to devour the various continents of the Demon Territory, so the Third Territory of the Mysterious Boundary Bead could be said to be the second Demon Territory.
If he followed his previous methods and used the Mysterious Boundary Bead to swallow and fuse the entire Star Boundary, he could naturally create a second Star Boundary.
Hearing this, Yang Kai nodded, “That’s fine, but unless we have no other choice, it’s best not to do so.”
“Why?” Mo Huang was puzzled.
“Although the Second Demon Territory has been formed, it is still confined to the Mysterious Small World, so I still haven’t thought of a good way to separate it. If I were to swallow the Star Boundary again, I’m afraid it would lead to some unexpected consequences. Moreover, the feeling the Second Demon Territory gives me is somewhat different from the original Demon Territory. The world has just been born and the laws are not perfect, so it may take an extremely long time to repair itself.”
Hearing this, Zhan Wuhen said, “This is the last resort. If we really can’t find a way out, we can only do this.”
“Sirs, forgive me for saying too much, but the Star Boundary can still be saved,” Zhang Ruoxi suddenly said.
Everyone turned to look at her and all of their expressions changed as Zhan Wuhen asked, “Does Young Lady have a way to save them?”
Although Zhang Ruoxi wasn’t a Great Emperor, she had the strength of a Great Emperor. Not to mention, she had inherited Heaven Punishment's memories and heritage, so she had knowledge and insight of the Outer Universe. Since she had said so, it was definitely not without reason.
“I can’t guarantee anything, but I do have a method in my memory.”
“There’s no harm in saying it, the current situation in the Star Boundary isn’t that bad. If there really is a way to save the Star Boundary, then the young lady will be its benefactor.”
Zhang Ruoxi smiled and said, “Sir is being too serious. I was born in this world and grew up in this world, so it is my duty to contribute to the Star Boundary.” Pausing for a moment, she continued, “The current situation of the Star Boundary is caused by the aftermath of the previous great battle, and the Spirit Energy has suffered a great loss. In fact, the main reason is the latter. If a Universe World lost its Spirit Energy, it will lose its vitality and the World Laws will be damaged, losing the ability to repair itself. On the other hand, if this world can be restored and the Spirit Energy reappears, it will be able to repair itself, no matter how much the world shatters.”
