Chapter Thirty

For over ten days in the underworld, tens of thousands of souls poured in. The work of reincarnation in the underworld was tedious, with careful considerations on how and where to reincarnate. Some special reincarnators had even heavier responsibilities towards Pluto. The burden of work pressed down on the aging Pluto, leaving him physically and mentally exhausted.

Meanwhile, turmoil was brewing in The Demon Realm. Several sons and major demon kings were dueling on the battlefield, where a single misstep could lead to any son falling at the hands of any demon king. Once these demon kings started fighting, regardless of whose son you were, if your strength was lacking, death was inevitable.

For many years, Pluto had also reviewed his own children on the path of reincarnation...

At this moment, Pluto sat on his throne and received an important piece of news - the Dream King had been killed. Pluto himself understood that the Dream King was one of the instigators of the turmoil in The Demon Realm. The Dream King’s recent actions had been too frequent, stirring up entertainment among the demon kings occasionally. It now seemed like a deliberate attempt to delay The Demon Realm from engaging in the war against the divine race. Compared to the infighting among their own kind, Pluto would rather wage war against the age-old enemy, the divine race.

"The Dream King has been eliminated... Will I be next?"

The news also mentioned that the Dream King was killed by a monkey who referred to himself as the "Monkey King," armed with an extendable staff and eyes immune to the Dream King's deception. Alongside the Monkey King was a traitor named Tony. Pluto was more acquainted with this so-called "Chief of the New Ten Demon Kings." The Dream King's deception might be challenging for him, but the immunity possessed by the Monkey King would be more advantageous.

Towards the end of the message, Pluto saw the most crucial sentence: The Monkey King was taking over the title and territory of the demon king!

"The Demon Dragon's intention? No wonder even Tony was specially recalled!"

"Father."

Pluto had already sensed someone approaching him, though he knew who it was. Strangely, her magic was powerful enough to match his.

"You're back."

"Yes, it feels like a long time away, like twenty years."

"It's only been two months, why does it feel like twenty years?" Pluto set down the news in his hand and raised his aged eyes, clad in black leather, looking somewhat unfamiliar. Twenty years? It really felt like reuniting with a long-lost relative, both unfamiliar and familiar.

"For me, it has indeed been twenty years."

"Oh?"

"I traveled with Qin Yang for twenty years, Father, do you not believe it?"

Pluto was not surprised; Demon Dragon's power was formidable, making it highly probable for her to have the ability to traverse time.

"I've never doubted Demon Dragon, but as for Qinyang..."

"He has surpassed Demon Dragon, and he is known as the Holy Demon Dragon, also known as the Dragon of Time and Space - Reisgolo." Nai Nai stepped closer to Pluto, engaging in a conversation that appeared father-daughter on the surface, yet there were some strange feelings hovering between them.

Nai Nai had lived many, many more years than Pluto, and while she was plotting something, Pluto could speculate a thing or two. He just wasn't afraid of such scheming.

"As Qin Yang's bodyguard, it seems you have gained quite a lot. I recall the day he singled you out, not bad! In one go, Qin Yang stole two daughters from me, although it's much fewer compared to Demon Dragon's Dragon Consort."

"He had many before?" Nai Nai lightly furrowed her brow, sensitive as a young girl, showing hints of emotions, but quickly regaining control over her feelings.

"Many, as numerous as cow hairs."

"Father, can we not talk about this?"

"What else should we talk about then? If we can't even discuss your future son-in-law, should we talk about seizing power?"

With Pluto's words, the relationship between father and daughter underwent a subtle change at that moment.

"Exactly."

"You exude an aura of killing the moment you enter the room, do you think I, the illustrious Pluto, am unaware? Daughter, you are not yet qualified to threaten me!"

"Father has grown old, haven't your 1.3 million years as the Demon King been enough? If you were still in your prime, those troublemaking demon kings wouldn't dare cause chaos, your actions will only burden Qin Yang!"

"Even if that's the case, it's not your turn!" Pluto's anger shook the entire Underworld, yet no one responded.

Among Pluto's over 100 children, Naina was ranked beyond the top 100, with some younger than her. However, having many siblings did not necessarily mean having strong bonds. For Naina, she was closest only to her younger brother and Lilith. Despite this, Naina wouldn't simply pursue the position of Demon King solely based on seniority.

"The Demon Realm values strength above all else, Father not only misses the Demon King, but also because my older siblings did not possess the strength that satisfied you." Naina already had her sword and shield in hand!

"And what about Lilith, also a Dragon Queen? One of the Four Divine Flames, have you forgotten? You have two older brothers ahead of you who possess Divine Flames!"

Although enraged, Pluto restrained himself. It wasn't easy for him to act against his children.

"The Divine Flame is not the strongest, but I have something better!" A black rose-like flame enveloped Naina.

"Qin Yang's Celestial Demon Fire, indeed... it must be his doing!"

Pluto's eyes glanced beyond Naina's body, towards the door of the room, where there seemed to be someone he found hardest to confront!

"Qin Yang, will Naina be in danger after entering? Father's power is stirring up unrest in the Underworld!" Lilith leaned against my back, knowing full well why her sister had entered. She also wanted to follow, but despite her diminished fear of her father, challenging him for the Demon King's throne was something only Naina dared to do.

"Pluto refuses to let go, he has his own plans; he perhaps longed for a child bold enough to challenge him! What reason does he have to relinquish the throne to a child lacking the courage and strength to contend with his father?"

"Father still wants a child to challenge him? How absurd!"

"Do you really think being a Pluto is so entertaining? For millions of years, he has had to protect his territory and subjects. Without sufficient strength and patience, who could endure!"

"Sister Lilith! Long time no see." Three men appeared in the unfolding space magic from afar, I was unsure of their exact ranking, but they were Pluto's three sons. In Lilith's hands, there was a single family photo featuring them, taken before the war between gods and demons when they were not yet born.

"Brothers!" Lilith's words highlighted the estrangement between her and them, with so many children, it was impossible for each one to be equally close.

"It's been so long and you've actually grown taller, I heard you've become the Dragon Queen, a true honor for our family."

They three bowed with smiles, and now no one will not know who is the Saint Demon Dragon, and no one will not know what kind of changes are happening in this world.

"Do you feel the Magic elements of The Demon Realm?"

"Your Majesty Demon Dragon, we also feel that the elements are not as vibrant as before, and we strongly believe in Your Majesty Demon Dragon's words. The red sky of The Demon Realm is cracking, the ancestral stars are falling, and the residents of The Demon Realm are all in panic!"

"Do you understand what needs to be done?"

"We are looking forward to participating in the war against the unjust god race! However..."

"However, the internal turmoil of The Demon Realm is difficult to extricate from, but it will soon come to an end."

Pluto's energy once again shook the underworld attached to The Demon Realm. In the room, there was a disturbance of energy, but it was still restrained; otherwise, the room would have long turned into ruins.

"Why is the king so angry lately? It's been a while since I felt this kind of energy." Pluto's sons felt the disturbance inside, perhaps they were gathering because of Pluto's anger.

"I hope you don't disturb what's inside." I stood in front of the door, which puzzled them greatly.

Pluto's rage erupted once again, and they began to notice the problem.

"Apologies, Your Majesty Demon Dragon, we are worried about the king. Please let us in."

"You... can try." The Demon Dragon Sword flashed out. In the underworld where dark elements prevailed, the luminous Magic emitted by the sword was compelling.

"Qin Yang, using the Holy Dragon Sword will provoke them!"

"Your Majesty Demon Dragon... Please do not use the luminous Magic..." The demon clan is faced with luminous Magic and the strongest luminous Magic, which triggers countless hatred accumulated over the years.

Unable to withstand it any longer, the three of them attacked at the same time. Although not as powerful as Pluto's magic, the combined power of the three was not to be underestimated.

My magic was strong enough at the moment to deal with them as if it were just a casual matter. I merely made a defensive move, and they were already desperate to break through this layer of protective Magic.

"This is the power of Your Majesty Demon Dragon!"

"Although luminous Magic is detestable, brother, we are hard-pressed to defeat him!"

"Will you accept the light or continue madly like this?"

The three brothers were in great agony in the face of the luminous Magic, but their abilities were not strong enough. Can endurance really be achieved? Overcoming the thoughts of hatred from their own people was not easy.

"Brother!"

In the end, the three brothers gave up; they chose endurance. Enduring the light was very painful.

"Please make it clear. You are resenting the god race, not using luminous Magic!"

This sentence was deliberately spread by me, wanting to make the opposing Magic of light and darkness reach a point of being unable to coexist. If there is to be a change between gods and demons, a step must be taken, but making gods and demons coexist is still impossible.

"Bang!" Finally, the conflict in the room erupted in the last rush. Pluto's power stood out among another equally held power. Other children outside of the three brothers also rushed over to witness the process of their king being challenged.

"That's... Nana!" The siblings were shocked to discover whose power rivaled that of their father, as she did something they had long been too afraid to attempt.

The flames on Nana's body were not the underworld fire inherited from Pluto's family, but the celestial demon's fire, which was not inferior to Pluto's magic power. They could sense her magic power continuously rising, and witnessed her magical energy clash with Pluto, causing residual energy waves to rampage through the underworld. Pluto unleashed a terrifying dark Magic attack, and in the siblings' memory, no one had ever survived taking this move. Pluto's Mandara blooms shone in the sky, while Nana's flower petals had just begun to bloom.

"It's nothing!" the siblings exclaimed as Nana lowered the shield in her hand, completely unharmed!
