Chapter 304.2: Lian Shi’s Origins (2)
That night, he stood there outside his room throughout, till the sky over the horizon slowly lightened, before he then dragged his stiff and numb body back into his room.
From that night after he laid his cards out before Lian Shi, the man suddenly bade farewell to the group just a few days later, saying that he had urgent matters to attend to and needed to return home.
When they parted, the girl was highly reluctant for the man to leave, persistently asking if they would be able to meet again?
To which the man merely cast a meaningful glance towards Lian Shi who was standing just a short distance away, and then said in a soft voice: “I believe that we will come to meet each other again.”
It was only later that he found out that the man had left so suddenly because the struggle between the gods and demon race that had gone on for millions of years had finally broken out into a war, and the battles were becoming highly intense.
Throughout their journey on the road, dead corpses of both the god and demon races could be seen almost everywhere, the once beautiful landscape destroyed and ruined. Even the human were affected by it as disasters and calamities were incessant due to the battles between the god and demon races, wreckage and destruction everywhere to be seen, a cold and desolate scene.
It was only sometime at a much later period that the girl came to tell him one day, about her real identity.
It was exactly as what the man had told him back then.
She told him that her objective in coming out on this journey was to find the seed of the demon race, and to try to win his trust before gouging out his demonic heart. In that way, the demon race would be defeated without having to fight them.
Because the demon seed held unparalleled power within the entire demon race, and was a great pillar of strength and faith for their people. If he was destroyed, then the demon race would no longer pose to be much of a threat anymore.
And if she were to achieve that, then she would then become the undisputed ruler over the gods, and no one would dare go against her.
She had then asked him: “Are you willing to stay by my side and help me?”
She had really said that to him in the end, everything was exactly as what the man had told him before.
He realized that it was no coincidence that she had come to appear by his side right from the beginning, and it might be because he had something on him that was of some worthy use to her.
Perhaps he was really such a great fool. Even when he knew that she was merely making use of him, he was still unable to refuse her anything.
The war between the god and demon races raged on for three whole months before it finally ceased.
And in this war, the gods lost. Because the gods’ heir apparent to the throne was captured by the demon race, and the gods were immediately disadvantaged. That was their future ruler, and they did not dare to take the risk.
