So I Am A Demon Descendent! - Chapter 344
Chapter 344: Speculations About The Great Deities Palace
“I remember.” Slime was panicking. “There are 72 top S-class masters here and 36 Half-Step Gokudo monsters. They were all endowed with eternal life by the ancient demons, and they have been guarding the Great Deities Palace for a long time. But they are not the scariest of all. At the end of this world, a terrifying existence is in slumber.”
Li Xianyu’s expression changed dramatically as he paused. “What kind of existence?”
“It’s an invincible existence who can summon qi into a horse,” Slime said gravely. “It is the swiftest in this entire world.”
Li Xianyu was speechless.
“You’ve been a little cheeky lately, little brother. You have watched too many TV shows with me.”
“Duh, I told you I don’t have this part of memory. Are you a fish spirit who has a memory of seven seconds? No, fish have a better memory than you.”
“So it looks like it’s my fault.”
“You hold some responsibility, but it’s Wang Chen’s fault after all.”
Seeing Li Xianyu pause suddenly, Fire God asked, “What’s the matter?”
The crowd followed.
Should I repeat Slime’s lame words? Li Xianyu thought about it for a moment. Forget it. Everyone’s so serious. I’ll get beaten up.
“It’s nothing, it’s nothing.” He waved his hand and proceeded.
The large group walked in the quiet wilderness, always maintaining the formation. The people on the periphery were on guard, and everyone temporarily suppressed the greed they had towards the Great Deities Palace. In the exploration of the treasures, they had to cast aside their obsession with the treasures, and keep a sober and calm mind at all times.
No one had ever been to the Great Deities Palace, so no one knew what was in it. The unknown itself was the greatest danger.
Fortunately, Fire God and Cui Hua had just joined forces to evaporate the dense fog and make the field of vision clear. Otherwise the risk factor would increase significantly in environments with very low visibility.
At this moment, Thunderlord raised his hand and threw a lightning spear at the mist. In synchronization, Fire God also threw a massive fireball in the other direction, and a bang sounded from a distance.
The crowd was startled. “What are you doing?”
“Don’t mess around. You’re going to trigger the dangers in the Great Deities Palace.”
“What the f***, Fire God, Thunderlord? Are y’all idiots?”
The foreign forces and scattered cultivators were alarmed, and even Baoze’s staff were puzzled by why the bosses suddenly courted trouble.
Ape God looked at the crowd and explained, “You think you’ll be safe and sound if you keep quiet? Do you think this is a game of sneaking into the dragon’s nest and stealing treasure? That’s naive. If there’s any real danger in the Great Deities Palace, it’s better to lure it out into the open than let it hide in the shadows and wait for an opportunity to attack us.”
Some people refused to accept this, saying, “So it’s right to alarm the enemy? If we try to sneak through, we might be able to avoid a lot of danger.”
White God giggled. “Don’t come to the Great Deities Palace if you are scared of dying.”
The Baoze S-class members’ approach made some sense. It was better to lure the enemy out than to get assaulted in the cold.
Thus, as they move forward, the Ten Gods of Baoze would make some movement from time to time to test this silent world.
They don’t have to do so. Li Xianyu frowned deeply.
When the Demonic Priest entered the Great Deities Palace, his cultivation was not at the peak but had succeeded in bringing Slime out. It was not possible to be entirely safe, but he made it out alive.
Two things can be analyzed in this message. The danger in the Great Deities Palace was not as great as it might have been. Second, if there was a real danger, it would not be alarmed if they were careful.
The reckless behavior of Thunderlord and the others were likely to result in disaster.
They are all experienced people so it’s impossible for them to make such low-level mistakes. Maybe they have other objectives? Li Xianyu speculated.
The Ten Gods of Baoze had a wealth of experience and extraordinary IQ. It was not a position where unintelligent people could get to. Li Xianyu had never despised their IQ, even those at the top of the world’s forces, he retained respect for their IQ.
Besides, it was possible that one person had made a bad judgment. Everyone making bad judgments was not plausible. Fire God and Thunderlord must have had their reasons for doing so.
Out of trust, Li Xianyu chose to stay silent and continued to observe.
After nearly half an hour of high vigilance, terrible disasters did not happen, and the world remained quiet and safe as they entered, except for the deliberate, occasional noise of the Ten Gods of Baoze.
Gradually, the hearts of the people relaxed, and they were no longer nervous and tense. At this point, something finally changed ahead of them.
“There’s something over there!” Among the senior staff, a colleague with a very sharp sense of sight shouted.
The crowd stared at a thin layer of fog and saw nothing.
Li Xianyu looked at the colleague. Could this guy’s super power be super vision? Such sharp eyes.
Although they couldn’t see anything, the crowd immediately got excited and their eyes lit up like lightbulbs. Instead of speeding up, their pace of advance slowed.
Gains were good, but change itself was dangerous, and no one knew what they were going to encounter. No matter how greedy people were, they had to suppress their emotions in the mysterious Great Deities Palace.
Their relaxed mood tensed up again, and the large group of about 500 people slowly went deep, finally seeing something new in the vast wilderness of sculptures.
It was a huge bronze building, with a very different architectural style. There were spiral steps that circled upwards and there was a palace at the end of the steps. However, it was just columns and walls, no roof.
This palace was built on a 100-meter-high foundation, with the spiral steps leading to the palace. The length of the palace was also 100 meters. The enormous style of the Great Deities Palace had not changed, unlike the architectural style of towers in the human world.
The massiveness of the Great Deities Palace revealed a message that the organisms that lived there were gargantuan.
A team composed of powerful people from various forces did not take action recklessly. They stopped at a safe distance to observe the bronze palace. At this point, the convenience of the development of the superpowers is reflected.
Many of the support-type demon descendants displayed their strengths, and they explored the interior of the bronze palace from afar.
“I can’t hear any sounds, not even breathing.” This was information from Ryder, from the the Association of Superpowered Beings.
“There are no suspicious targets and no signs of danger.” This was information from the demon descendants with super powers associated with vision.
“No energy fluctuations detected.”
“No signs of life detected.”
…
The collection of information concluded that the interior of the bronze palace seemed safe.
Thunderlord and the others looked at each other, and their expressions were complicated. Li Xianyu didn’t know if it was just him but he felt that this bunch were regretful that the palace was safe.
Led by Baoze, the team slowly approached the bronze palace, climbing up the spiralling steps.
Halfway up, Cui Hua came to the edge of a step. Something worthy of mention was that climbing the steps was an interesting sight. For the owner of the bronze palace, it might be climbing step by step, but for everyone, every step was like jumping up a two-meter-high fence.
Standing on the steps and looking down, they could only see a white fog and clouds. Cui Hua puffed up her cheeks and used all of her might. Her face was puffed up like a white bun and looked adorable.
Li Xianyu struck like a lightning bolt, poking Cui Hua’s puffy cheeks.
Pfft~ Cui Hua huffed out her breath and punched Li Xianyu with cat punches in both wrath and shyness.
Li Xianyu was beaten a few times and had to grab her wrist, his blood boiling. My god, Cui Hua’s little fists can cause people to vomit blood.
Huff! Cui Hua blew out gales of wind, and as the air flowed, the mist dissipated, revealing a corner. On the brown earth, statues surrounded the bronze palace, which acted as a center, and were lined all the way towards the end of people’s line of sight. They resembled guards of the royal court.
“It resembles the terracotta warriors of Emperor Qin,” Thunderbolt Battle Lady muttered.
“So you mean this world is a tomb?” White God asked.
“I didn’t say that.” Thunderbolt Battle Lady pouted.
“Let’s make a guess. If you guess correctly, you don’t have to compensate me for my Ferrari.” White God crossed her arms in front of her chest and deliberately displayed her ample chest to Thunderbolt Battle Lady.
“Scram. Why should I use my Ferrari to compensate you? Li Xianyu will pay you.” Thunderbolt Battle Lady spat.
“Of course he also has to pay. The price of my car is six million dollars. If you pay me with your car, that’s only half. The others will make up the rest,” White God said.
“I shouldn’t pay half of that. Besides, can’t you claim mission reimbursement?” The long-legged beauty glared.
“I don’t want to claim mission reimbursement. I want you to pay me.” White God huffed.
The long-legged beauty grit her teeth in rage.
Both of them joined the company at the start of Baoze’s establishment, and Thunderbolt Battle Lady was not a senior to the Ten Gods as they were equally experienced.
The two knew each other at the training camp, and they were especially antagonistic to each other. They kept comparing with each other, from figure, beauty, and cultivation level.
As the days of training camp were over, they worked together for a while, but were still trying to one-up the other. Eventually, White God won.
In terms of figure and beauty, Thunderbolt Battle Lady didn’t lose. Although she was not as sexy and feminine as White God was, and her breasts were not as big as her, she was valiant. Her insanely long legs had attracted countless male colleagues and both parties had their own charms.
However, White God completely surpassed her in terms of cultivation level. White God’s gift was one of the best. During the training camp, she was already significantly better than Thunderbolt Battle Lady, and after that, she had completely won.
When Thunderbolt Battle Lady was a middle-level employee, she was a senior A+ employee. When Thunderbolt Battle Lady was promoted to A-class, she was already S-class.
Now that Thunderbolt Battle Lady was A+, White God was a top S-class, and that was a huge difference.
As for marriage, White God once again slayed the long-legged beauty. She married the Black God and they were the power couple. The Black and White Gods, from their titles alone, were a match made in heaven.
On the other hand, Thunderbolt Battle Lady was still a single dog.
Despite the fact that many years had passed and that she had lost terribly, Thunderbolt Battle Lady had always paid attention to White God’s social media feed, and the habit of secretly competing with each other has remained to this day. That Ferrari was the product of the women’s competition.
When she thought of marrying someone, Thunderbolt Battle Lady looked at Li Xianyu subconsciously. If she had any hope of getting her game back, it was probably on this kid.
Unfortunately, the old demon woman, Unparalleled War Spirit is a barrier, a barrier as high as the Himalayas, Thunderbolt Battle Lady thought.
There was a saying, “As the Emperor, if I’m still alive, all of you are still beneath me.”
Applying it to her: As long as Great-Grandma was not dead, she would always be a servant who is still washing clothes.
Pfft, who wants to marry Li Xianyu? Ridiculous. Thunderbolt Battle Lady was in denial.
White God knew nothing about the rich inner drama of the long-legged beauty. Seeing her remaining silent for a long time and not bickering with her, she was bored, and leapt up the stairs to continue climbing to the bronze palace.
Thunderbolt Battle Lady kicked Li Xianyu; “What are you thinking about?”
Why didn’t you support me, you annoying fellow?
“Huh?” Li Xianyu finally responded, “Nothing.”
He was wondering what exactly the Great Deities Palace was. According to current speculations, it had eight keys that could open eight different spaces. There was a suspected ancient demon in every space.
Demonic Priest and his biological father entered different spaces and brought out different things, but of the same nature. Trees of evolution whose genes did not belong to this reality.
There was no doubt that they were related to the ancient demons.
What kind of existence are the ancient demons? Is Slime merely associated with the ancient demons? Or is it an ancient demon itself?
There was no doubt that Slime was a living body, and no one knew what an ancient demon was. Historians of the demon descendants community have derived the existence of ancient demons from books such as Ethnology and Genetics.
Then, Slime being an ancient demon is a speculation but also a direction of thought.
However, this speculation made it seem that ancient demons were low-class. Li Xianyu refused to admit that this cheeky Slime who was a troll was a legendary ancient demon.
Who could imagine a guy who loved to suck up to Great-Grandma when he was free, saying he was happy to be a grandson, and always repeating, “it’s Wang Chen’s fault,” was the source of the demon descendants’ ancestors, Ancient Demons?
This trip to the Great Deities Palace may at least unravel this mystery. At least, there will be clues to lead to the discovery of the creatures that have long since disappeared into the long river of history.
After half an hour, the team finally arrived at the bronze palace.
