“The Demon World!” Lan Hua exclaimed, shocked. He was a demon – surely he could recognise what was in front of him.

　　Holy shit! Lonemoon’s expression darkened. He wanted to curse somebody’s mother. The Demon World actually appeared here. They were not just talking about to the gates to the demon world – the entire Demon World had dropped in front of them. It was merging with the immortal realm!

　　The Emperor Ascension Stage was located at the boundaries of the Heavens beyond Heaven. Not far under it was the Void Land. That was the boundary of the entire immortal realm. A little further, there would be nothingness. If the Demon World appeared there, it meant that the Demon World was merging with the Immortal realm.

　　It was no wonder that there was such huge movement before this. The entire immortal realm had been shaking violently for almost an hour. The immortal realm and the demonic realm originally existed together – it would be strange if there was no indication that they had merged.

　　“What happened?” Yi Qing frowned. He looked at the strange horizon in front of him. Who had the capabilities of dragging the entire demonic realm down to the immortal realm?

　　“It looks like we have to ask the demon who did this!” Lonemoon’s voice was cold.

　　The four of them turned to glare at the figure on the Emperor Ascension Stage.

　　The Demon King was shaking in terror. He was suppressing his urge to turn and make a break for it. Straightening his back, he decided to be submissive and obedient.

　　“Did you do this?” Lonemoon gestured at the demonic realm and the opened demonic gates behind him.

　　“I’m wronged, Exalted Goddess!” The Demon King was breaking out in a cold sweat and his eyes welled up with tears. “I don’t even know what’s going on. I listened to you and brought all the demons back into the demonic realm. But the gates suddenly opened, and… and… I appeared here.” He did not want to go into the immortal realm himself! It was easy being the Demon King – everybody was at his beck and call.

　　Now that the demonic realm and the immortal realm were merged, there was not even a gate to separate them. He could bump into the Exalted Goddess anywhere he went. That was so scary! All the demons were in danger!

　　(; ́༎ຶД༎ຶ`)

　　“You really had nothing to do with the demonic realm dropping into the immortal realm?”

　　“I didn’t!” The Demon King shook his head. He had already given up all his ambitions as a demon. “If I had such powers, would I have waited until now to do it?” One needed great skills to merge the two realms together. That aside, even if he did possess such skills, he would have merged the demonic realm with the mortal realm – not the immortal one!

　　“Then who has the skills to do this?” Shen Ying asked.

　　“Huh?” The demon king paused, fearful. “Well… Well, I’m not too sure myself. It’s difficult enough opening the gates to the demonic realm, much less merging the two realms. I have never seen anyone who possesses such power. Unless…” His eyes brightened up, as if thinking of something. “It is someone from the Divine Realm.”

　　“The Divine Realm?” They all paused.

　　“Yes, yes, yes.” The Demon King nodded furiously, obviously excited. “In the beginning, the immortal and divine realms were merged together. Later, a huge battle broke out and the divine race broke the heavenly pillars, leaving the two realms separated by an array. That was how the two realms became separate.”

　　“The heavenly pillar…” Lonemoon turned to look behind him. The colourful gates to the demonic realm stood high on top of a hill of rubble. In his mind, a bulb lit up. “Could it be that the demonic realm fell into the immortal realm because… of the Emperor Ascension Stage!”

　　He turned to look at the others. Indeed, they thought of this exact reason too.

　　The fog in their minds cleared up instantly. Shen Ying said that the person who allowed them to transmigrate wanted to open the gates to the demonic realm. But he could have achieved this by sending any other person. Why did he look for them to transmigrate?

　　What’s more, when they were in the Invincible Sect, the gates of the demonic realm had opened once, but nothing like this happened. When Shen Ying emerged, the gates disappeared as well.

　　This time, the gates to the demonic realm were closed, but it was set up right there.

　　In other words, opening the gates was secondary – the important thing was where they opened those gates. It was obvious that his goal was the Emperor Ascension Stage. He did not want to open the gates to the demonic realm for the sake of it. Instead, he wanted to make use of the isolation array on the heavenly pillar to pull the entire demonic realm over and be merged with the immortal realm.

　　“How did you know about the heavenly pillar?” Lonemoon scanned him from head to toe. They had only recently found out about the heavenly pillar. What’s more, they had never heard about the isolation array before.

　　“These are all written in the historic books of the demonic realm.” The Demon King flicked his wrist and a black dharmic talisman appeared in his palm. He handed it over to Lonemoon. “This is the history book of my demon race – everybody in the demonic realm knows about it.”

　　“History book?” The demons liked books too. Lonemoon received the talisman and subconsciously activated his immortal Qi. Nothing was happening. He pursed his lips and handed the talisman to Lan Hua.

　　Lan Hua sent a gust of demonic Qi into the talisman. The next moment, a black book appeared. On the cover was written, “The Classical Texts of the Demonic Realm”. Below the title, it was written…

　　“In the 43,671st year of the demonic realm, the King rose to become the Demonic King. Heh heh! He destroyed his descendants who mocked him!”

　　“In the 109,135th year of the demonic realm, I killed the Demonic King in power. From today on, I am your new king!”

　　“In the 204,000th year of the demonic realm, I became bored being the Demon King. I heard that there is an immortal realm outside of this place and decided to go out and take a look.”

　　“In the 204,001st year of the demonic realm, the two Demon Kings before me were killed by the divine race. I became the new Demon King!”

　　“In the ***th year of the demonic realm, I decided to go to the immortal realm. I got to know Cuihua. She’s beautiful! Heh heh heh, I’m going to marry my queen.”

　　“In a year of the demonic realm, I heard that those perverted divine beings fell out with the immortals. The heavenly pillar has been broken and an isolation array was set up. Hahaha. Serves them right! It’s their just desserts for not allowing me to meet my Cuihua.”

　　“In some year of the demonic realm, the demonic realm sealed me in and did not allow me to go out. My Cuihua… Wu wu wu!”

　　“I’m lazy to count which year of the demonic realm this is. For Cuihua, I have decided to break open the gates of the demonic realm! Cuihua, wait for me!”

　　“In the demonic realm-”

　　Shen Ying: “…”

　　Lonemoon: “…”

　　Yi Qing: “…”

　　Lan Hua: “…”

　　What kind of freaking history book is this! This is obviously the daily diary of the Demonic king. No! It’s a century diary! What was he even writing inside it? His literacy as a Demon King was so low, and yet he still dared to publicise this to the rest of the demonic realm. Had he no shame? It was high time that they educated themselves!

　　What’s more, who the hell was that Cuihua who featured so many times in the diary? Did the writer of the diary plant his little black spies in the immortal realm just to open those gates?

　　So the reason that the demonic realm was so hell-bent on opening the gates was so that their king could court a girl?

　　(╯°Д°)╯(┻━┻

　　What a fraud!

　　Everybody felt the second-hand embarrassment for the Demon King. Suddenly, nobody was interested in asking about what the ultimate motive of the mastermind was. This Demon King definitely was not the man who transmigrated them. He could not be!

　　Otherwise… it would be such a joke!
