Tree Star
The Tree Demon felt very unfortunate; life had become increasingly difficult over the years. First, Liang Long almost took over Tree Star, spending so much time there. Who is really the Star Lord of Tree Star?
Then there was Liang Long’s extortion. Those tree fruits were his life essence. Even though Liang Long gave him some compensation, he still felt very upset. Moreover, he had to continue providing offerings to the upper ranks of the demon race, which was exhausting.
During this time, things were no better. The Heavenly Court attacked the Demon Domain, and as one of the many immortals of the demon race, he had to join the fight. However, after just over a hundred exchanges, he was defeated by the immortals, losing about one-third of his strength.
It is important to note that he was already not very strong, and losing another third made him truly weak now.
"In the next life, I don’t want to be a tree anymore. It’s boring. If I have to be something, I want to be part of the dragon tribe."
The tree demon sighed inside, knowing that the strength of the demon race was closely tied to their lineage. The dragon tribe, as long as their bloodline wasn’t too mixed, would always be strong. Unlike the tree demons, who had no powerful ancestors, making their bloodline weak. Even if they became immortal, they would only be minor immortals, with limited potential for growth.
"Someone is coming."
Just as the tree demon was lost in thought, Liang Long appeared. He had set many small traps around the Tree Star and was already aware of the situation.
The tree demon was startled and quickly reached out with its spirit sense. Its expression changed, and it said, "This is bad; the dragon tribe Demon Lord is coming."
"The dragon tribe Demon Lord, it seems he is coming for me. You have been exposed, tree demon."
"Ah!"
"Nothing unexpected. The Heavenly Court is attacking the demon race, and they are targeting me. They must have gotten clues from the Heavenly Tiger Tribe."
"M-master, I-I..."
The tree demon stuttered, and now his mind was completely blank; he didn’t know what to say.
"Get ready to give up the Tree Star, and come with me."
"No, my lord, I worked so hard to find a place to live..."
"Come with me, and I will give you a bigger planet. If you don’t, I will kill you. Choose wisely."
Liang Long said coldly; he had already ordered the robots to clean up. Everything that needed to be erased had to be wiped away.
Before the tree demon could react, the Dragon Clan Demon Lord had arrived, and the tree demon could only bravely step forward to greet him.
"Little Immortal greets the Demon Lord."
"Are you the tree demon?"
"Yes, I am the Tree Demon Immortal, the Star Lord of this place."
"Many years ago, the Heavenly Tiger Tribe Demon Immortal received your message for help and came to rescue you, but ultimately fell here."
"Yes, my lord, I have already reported this matter to the Demon Court."
"How did you report it? Say it again."
"Ah..."
"Is there a problem? Say it again."
The Dragon Clan Demon Lord sneered, and the tree demon suddenly felt overwhelmed, so he could only repeat himself.
The tree demon’s report was actually quite simple; he said he encountered an attack from an unknown creature and could not defend himself, then sought help. The Heavenly Tiger Tribe Demon Immortal arrived to save him, but still could not defeat the unknown creature and fell in battle. However, the unknown creature was also injured and retreated.
In the universe, there are countless races; just among the demon race, there are millions of different kinds. Moreover, the demon race has many strange and unusual races, and it is indeed possible for some unknown creatures to appear in the universe, usually with considerable strength since only beings above the immortal level can navigate through the universe.
So the tree demon’s reasoning was acceptable, and with the tree demon continuously bribing the higher-ups of the demon race, this matter was brushed aside years ago.
"What does the unknown creature look like? Is it a human, a demon, or something else?"
"Sir, I..."
"Do you not know, or do you not want to say?"
"I..."
"Do you want to say it here, or should we go to the Demon Court?"
The Dragon Tribe Demon Lord said calmly. He was not afraid that Tree Star would resist; the Dragon Tribe is the king of all beasts, and that is no joke. The pressure from the Dragon Tribe naturally overwhelms other demon races, and only a few can escape it.
"Let me say it."
At that moment, Liang Long appeared, but in the form of a Heavenly Tiger Tribe Demon Immortal.
The Dragon Tribe Demon Lord immediately frowned because he couldn’t see through Liang Long’s disguise; Liang Long radiated the aura of a Heavenly Tiger Tribe Demon Immortal from head to toe.
"You are not Ba Tianhu. Ba Tianhu is dead. Who are you?"
"Interstellar Wanderer"
"Interstellar Wanderer, hehe, I want to see what you are capable of."
The Dragon Tribe Demon Lord smiled and was about to attack, but at that moment, Liang Long had something appear above his head—a third-generation rule weapon.
The Dragon Tribe Demon Lord’s gaze turned cold, and he instantly stopped his movements. He had seen the image displayed by Heavenly Court Immortal Lord Lida; this thing had defeated an Immortal Lord, and he instinctively sensed danger.
"My capability is quite simple. I come from a distant Star Domain, from a civilization you do not know, a very powerful civilization."
"A distant civilization?"
"Yes, it is very far from here. Even with your strength, it would take thousands of years to reach. Is there a problem?"
Liang Long said lightly, then stretched out his hand, creating a Star Chart. He casually pointed at a spot, which was about a hundred thousand light years away, indicating it to the Dragon Tribe Demon Lord.
The brow of the Dragon Clan Demon Lord furrowed even more. He did not know where this place was. Although the demon race was also exploring the Star Domain and had their own Star Chart, their Star Chart did not extend to such distant areas. In this regard, their technological civilization was far superior to his.
"In that case, why do you not show your true face to others?"
"I have no physical form, no true face. The last being I killed is my true form."
Liang Long spoke lies without blinking, casually inventing a creature that did not exist.
"Why did you kill the Heavenly Tiger Tribe Demon Immortal?"
"He came to kill me. He was not strong enough and I simply fought back."
"Why not kill the tree demon?"
"Too weak; killing it would be meaningless."
The tree demon and the Dragon race Demon Lord fell silent. The tree demon felt a heaviness in its chest. Is it really okay to be so disrespectful?
"Since you come from a distant civilization, why not join my demon race?"
"What is the demon race?"
"This·····"
The Demon Lord of the demon race was suddenly at a loss. Damn it, what exactly is the demon race? The ancestors never mentioned it, and neither did the Dragon Ancestor.
"The demon race, how should I explain it? Born from the earth, every living being in the world is part of the demon race. My demon race is one of the creatures of heaven and earth·····"
The Demon Lord of the demon race told a bit of the history of the demon race. In their history, they believed they were incredibly powerful and very honorable. When the world began, the demon race was one of the strongest beings on earth, long before humans existed.
Of course, the description of having fur and horns, and hatching from eggs is more suited to the demon race, which would be much more accurate.
"So, does that mean I am also part of the demon race?"
"Your civilization..."
"It’s a bit confusing. In a very large area, we are the only beings, and the other civilizations were eaten by us, so we don’t fully understand our own history."
"In that case, you should definitely join our demon race..."
The Dragon Lord said this sincerely. A being that can defeat an Immortal Lord must be someone to befriend. As for what might happen from this friendship, he was not scared because he still needed to go through the Dragon Ancestor. He believed that the Dragon Ancestor would find a way to solve it; he trusted the wisdom of the Dragon Ancestor.
"I will think about it."
Liang Long nodded, then pretended to think for a moment. He decided to agree and was willing to go with the Dragon Ancestor Demon Lord to see the demon race.
The Dragon Lord and Demon Lord were immediately very happy and didn’t care about the tree demon anymore. After all, the real threat was right here. They took Liang Long to the Demon Domain, of course, to supervise as well.
Before leaving, Liang Long gave the tree demon a signal, telling him to run away quickly. He would not actually go to the Demon Domain, as that would be seeking death. He wasn’t sure he could handle beings at the level of the Dragon Ancestor.
