Chapter 14

"The Demon Realm is also a place of etiquette, it's just that others willingly bow to you!"
"Forst Lord is right, I willingly bow to Demon Dragon Your Majesty, so I will bow to the harem of Demon Dragon!" Yu Zhe stood up and bowed to Lilith.
The other demon kings were hesitant, but the King of the Underworld also stood up and bowed, followed by the kings of Flame and Thunder who also stood up and bowed. After the other demon kings finished bowing, only Forst Lord remained.
"Hahaha, is bowing to this little devil considered loyalty to Demon Dragon? Yu Zhe has given us such high praise, it's really thoughtful. Before the divine war, I have never bowed to anyone other than Demon Dragon, and even after the war, I will still adhere to my freedom."
"I am also a demon, I understand etiquette as well. I am not demanding, but I'm just curious, how did you understand the contract text?" Lilith didn't care about these superficial things, but the Dragon Text is the most mysterious thing within the dragon realm, with very limited documentation, and even the dragon people might not understand much. However, the King of the Underworld read the content clearly even through the clothes.
"I had a deep understanding of this stuff when I was very young, but I won't tell you why! And you shouldn't know why either."
"My father said that you are a very strange demon, Forst Lord!"
"From the way you speak, it seems that you come from a privileged background, with a higher status familiar with me, and then you have the word 'strange' to describe me. Could it be that you are one of the ten demon kings here?"
The King of Flame couldn't wait to say, "I haven't gotten married yet, so I can't have a daughter that big!"
"All the families of the demon kings here are downstairs. It's clear who has come up and who hasn't. No one has been close to Demon Dragon Your Majesty, and they didn't even know each other." The King of Wind once again emitted his sharp and slender voice, which sounded uncomfortable.
Yu Zhe stared at the King of the Underworld, while the King of the Underworld stared at Lilith. It was obviously the King of the Underworld who said that. The King of the Underworld had long felt that Lilith was unusually intimate, like an estranged lover-- Lilith's own mother.
Yu Zhe secretly whispered in the King of the Underworld's ear, "Lilith!" Then the King of the Underworld suddenly turned his head, but Yu Zhe retracted his finger and pointed it at Forst Lord.
"You seemed to be having a pleasant conversation." I finally appeared in the room, and all the demon kings looked at me. I brought back the iron mask and used the space of The Demon Realm to enter here. As soon as I came in, I heard Forst Lord wanting to ask about Lilith's identity. This is not allowed. If Lilith is exposed, then I am also exposed, it's no different from taking off the mask.
All the demon kings stood up and bowed, the standard etiquette without any compromise. It has been many years since I have seen this kind of scene, and I'm not used to it, but I must not reveal anything and quickly regain my composure. I placed my left hand on the table and my right hand went back, this is the gesture I was accustomed to when receiving etiquette 1.5 million years ago.
"Please, have a seat!"
"I'm sorry I'm late!" The last one to arrive was Kailuoke, the representative of the Fallen Angels, it is essential to meet with Demon Dragon.
"It seems that a lot has happened outside!"
"A exiled vampire and a divine race."
"A divine race? The journey from the main gate to here is so far, wouldn't anyone notice? And weren't they driven crazy by the red sky? Lilith's doubts are not impossible, and the bright magic power of the divine race is extremely incompatible with the dark elements that fill The Demon Realm."
"The opponent's presence is faint but discernible, possibly suppressed by some strange magic. However, encountering a Magic formation is not uncommon. But what's strange is the connection with vampires. Strictly speaking, they are all magical creatures."
"Hmm~~~ Have a seat. It's been many years since we've seen each other, but let's skip the small talk. First of all, I don't want any major changes in The Demon Realm, at least not now. You only need to know that the Demon Dragon is still present. Second, I need a united Demon Realm to prepare for an unknown situation."
"Unity? Are you suggesting we attack The Divine Realm again? Don't be ridiculous!" Forest Lord expressed doubt.
"Whether it's attacking humans or gods or merely self-defense, I cannot say for certain. The king only mentioned preparing for a possible situation," Zhe Zha spoke bluntly. As fellow demon kings, hierarchy is not a concern at the conference table.
"You all can stay the same, just listen to me. We need to face a dragon or a group of dragons more powerful than you."
"Dragons?"
"Yes, indeed, dragons. A dragon I've never seen before, right in The Divine Realm. I don't know what he intends to do, but sitting in the sacred dragon's position. However, he is not a sacred dragon." I slammed my hands on the table, almost crushing it. I couldn't understand who he really was and why he pretended to be the sacred dragon.
"In the end, it's still about The Divine Realm!"
"No, my target is solely him. His identity and intentions are unclear, perhaps he simply wants to bask in the glory of the sacred dragon or maybe he aims to conquer the three realms. But what's clear is that he is dangerous. Afterward, I will spend some time in The Demon Realm to confirm one thing."
"Wait, if there are so many uncertainties, how can we determine the danger?"
"You are involved in it every day. As they say, those in power are easily deceived. Flame King just isn't complaining. The behavior of demons has already changed. We are increasingly restricting ourselves. Humans are no longer being passively slaughtered. The Divine Realm... can collude with vampires, bribe traitors from The Demon Realm, plant spies among enemies, and even create such evil things as cursed daggers. They have done so many things that cannot see the light. If they attack The Demon Realm, do you think they wouldn't dare? You all don't want the kingdom you built with your own hands to be swallowed by The Divine Realm overnight, with the familiar crimson sky turned into a disgusting white. Do you want that? The only deciding factor now is humans. Once humans switch to one side, the other side will lose!"
All the demon kings understood that humans were crucial in the battle between gods and demons. They had been infiltrating The Human Realm, which could be divided into two major forces in conflict. But these were all temptations of interest. Once the other side offers better benefits, switching sides is inevitable.
"If the amount of information is overwhelming, then digest it here. My partner and I will leave for now. I still want to see The Demon Realm of this era." I stood up, walked behind Forest Lord, and lightly patted his shoulder, saying, "As for the new demon kings, giving them a certain status is not impossible, but they must directly obey me and not others... old demon kings! Don't tremble, I didn't mean you." I smiled and grasped Forest Lord's shoulder.
"Let's disperse, there are other important matters to attend to. Let's discuss later!" Holding Lilith's hand, he opened the door to the meeting room and left.
Lilith pretended to be calm and said, "That was done by Bai Qin Yang, right?"
"I forced him!"
"What are you guys up to?"
"Nothing, just saving a friend. A friend who wanted to kill me."
