This ancient and mysterious god of demons, the Dark Emperor, is one of the Ten Demon Sovereigns and the Dark Emperor.
The Dark Emperor had been resting, conserving his strength to wait for an opportune moment to travel to the Primordial Continent and begin his journey anew.
However, unexpectedly, before he could make a move, he sensed that the two demon lords he had left in another world were both dead.
This enraged him. The Dark Emperor conjured a crystal ball out of thin air.
A pair of hands, like branches, slowly waved over the crystal ball, which then displayed the scene of the two demon lords, one male and one female, before their deaths.
He was astonished to discover that these two demon lords were killed by a mere deity at the Divine King level.
In that instant, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
"These two good-for-nothings, two demon lords, actually killed by a mere peak Divine King? This is utterly shameful."
Although the Dark Emperor continued to curse the two demon lords in his heart, he equally hated Xiao Mo, who had killed them.
He then deeply etched Xiao Mo's face into his mind, "When I break free, you will be the first one I kill!"
...
Xiao Mo felt a premonition and glanced towards the outer heavens, a look of disdain in his eyes.
"It seems I've been targeted! But it's not much. I hope the next enemy can be a bit stronger, not so boring."
Having finished his task, Xiao Mo prepared to leave the异世界 (otherworld), as he no longer needed to kill demons to increase his points.
Moreover, the [Game Official] had already rewarded him, with both his Immortal and Demon troops advancing a realm.
Everything was now perfect.
Xiao Mo was about to leave this place and return to the Primordial Continent, as the Immortal-Demon Empire was likely still in dire straits.
Indeed, Xiao Mo’s thoughts were correct; the Immortal-Demon Empire was once again surrounded.
The Lord of the Glorious Empire, Hesya Adam, had led his soldiers to lure away Goddess Christina, who worshipped the Beast God faction, and the nature goddesses.
Therefore, the Immortal-Demon Empire, apart from its already damaged defense shield, had no other protection.
At this very moment, all the civilians rushed out of their homes.
They looked at the dense sea of deities with infinite rage in their hearts.
"You group of evil deities who invaded our land, why have you come again? What are your intentions?"
"Why are you treating us like this?"
"When our Lord returns, he will not forgive you. He will tear you to pieces."
"Hateful evil gods!"
The God of Endings, Jesse Qionxi, and the God of Annihilation, Xietu, were furious.
As Divine Lords, to be cursed at by a group of lowly civilians, how could they possibly tolerate it?
The God of Endings, Jesse Qionxi, chuckled coldly, "Your Lord has abandoned you. Otherwise, why isn't he here to save you now? Several days have passed, and Xiao Mo has still not appeared."
"Don't these lowly peasants understand what this means?"
"Furthermore, the异世界 (otherworld) is filled with powerful demons. Perhaps Xiao Mo has already died there."
"Nonsense! You hateful evil god, what nonsense are you spouting!"
The civilians of the Immortal-Demon Empire were furious, especially when the God of Endings, Jesse Qionxi, insulted their Lord, which only made them angrier.
"Even if you die, our powerful Lord will not!"
"You are an evil god destined for a bad end! When our great Lord returns, he will surely kill you here."
"Our brave and powerful Lord can hunt those demons."
"Yet you, an evil god and a Divine Lord, are speaking up for the demons. Are you in league with those detestable demons?"
"Perhaps that's exactly the case. Evil gods and demons are both incredibly detestable, and their methods are sickening."
"They might even be from the same divine lineage. Perhaps when the divine war begins again, you evil gods will defect."
"Exactly..."
These civilians, despite lacking real power, spoke with great ferocity.
Furthermore, their sheer numbers and loud voices momentarily infuriated Jesse Qionxi and Xietu to the point their eyes turned black.
They had lost their divine composure and were desperate to break through the defense shield and drag out those damned civilians for a beating.
"Kill! Kill them all! Break through this barrier. I want to capture all these civilians and turn them into puppets."
"Imprison their souls within the puppets, making them immortal and forever suffering the torment of their souls!"
Terror appeared on the faces of the civilians. They had not expected that deities acting as evil gods could be so cruel.
They even intended to turn them into puppets and eternally imprison their souls.
This filled the civilians with both terror and rage.
At this moment, they all picked up their weapons, resolutely pointing them at the evil gods who were about to charge.
"If you dare take one step further, we will resist you and kill you all!"
"Even though we are weak now, you cannot look down on us."
"We are citizens of the Immortal-Demon Empire. Like our Lord, we possess endless courage."
"We will resist you and kill you all."
The voices of these civilians were firm and loud, reaching the ears of the evil gods.
The evil gods all wore mocking smiles. It was like ants telling an elephant, "I will kill you."
No matter how you looked at it, it was a ridiculous prospect.
Therefore, the evil gods did not take the angry voices of the citizens to heart.
They laughed heartily, "You are all doomed now. Your Lord will not come to save you."
As they spoke, they attacked the already precarious imperial defense shield.
