Chapter 777: Prophecy of Life (II)

The Moon Demon God Agares had already closed his eyes. This was a prophecy where Vassago would be burning his own vitality as the price! This was also the Star Demon God’s most powerful prophecy. It was a level higher than the Great Prophecy Technique he had used before. Once the Prophecy of Life was used, it could not be stopped. It would definitely exhaust all o the user’s vitality. However, the prophecy would be the best and the most accurate.

Vassago slowly turned around. His eyes had already become blood-red. His loud chanting also stopped in the moment he turned around. As he faced the Demon God Emperor, blood suddenly spurted from his mouth. Immediately, the orange flames swelled and turned into an orange pillar of light that surged five meters into the air.

A strange aura appeared in the entire main hall. The demon powerhouses present felt their consciousness slightly blank out. Even the Demon God Emperor was not an exception.

As he burned his life, the Star Demon God’s soulforce reached an extremely terrifying level.

Everyone present had only witnessed the Prophecy of Life once. Only Star Demon Gods could use it and throughout the history of the demons, this was only the second time it was used. After all, it required the Star Demon God’s life to conduct the prophecy!

The orange light gradually turned into a screen of light that hovered in the air. The illusory screen of light first swirled about, before gradually clearing up.

The screen depicted when the Demon God Emperor killed Long Haochen, how Long Haochen’s heart was penetrated and that he slowly fell onto the ground. Afterwards, Cai’er and the rest of the Bright Glimmer of Hope left the Star Demon Pagoda in a hurry with his corpse.

The screen followed them until they reached the wilderness. Ye Xiaolei appeared and said something to Cai’er. Afterwards, they saw Cai’er take off the Eternal Melody from Long Haochen’s neck and wore it herself.

Seeing Ye Xiaolei, the Demon God Emperor raised an eyebrow slightly. However, when he saw how she did not heal Long Haochen, doubt appeared in his eyes. Even if she was the remnant of the Goddess of Nature, she could not revive the dead.

At this moment, the scene changed once more. The teleportation began. Cai’er immediately turned into streaks of light with everyone else and vanished from there.

The orange screen of light returned to a swirl, while the Star Demon God trembled violently, as if he was in intense agony.

The orange vortex remained like that for a minute, before showing a new scene. However, it was much blurrier this time.

A seven-layered tower appeared. When they saw the tower, all of the demon powerhouses present felt a strange pressure from their souls. Even the Demon God Emperor was not an exception.

It zoomed in, directly into the tower. Afterwards, Cai’er carrying Long Haochen’s corpse appeared as she lead the Bright Glimmer of Hope up the tower.

Even though it was very blurry, they were still able to make out the most important people of the Bright Glimmer of Hope. In particular, they could tell that it was Cai’er from her unique Sickle of the God of Death.

When they reached there, the Demon God Emperor’s face could not help but sink. Long Haochen was dead, but Cai’er had carried his corpse to such a special place. It was clearly to revive him. Otherwise, why would she do that? However, Vassago had always been telling him that Long Haochen had not been revived. He was dead for sure.

The scene constantly changed. Gradually, there was battle, but it became blurrier and blurrier. When Cai’er began to climb the path to the sky, they could only vaguely make out a golden colour.

The golden gate of light appeared and Cai’er leapt into it. In the next moment, the entire scene became messy. It had become completely illusory.

Vassago let out a roar and another mouthful of blood spurted out. This time, he could not help but shake violently as his vitality leaked away rapidly.

Under the support of his blood, the screen gradually stabilised. It had become clear once more. A huge coffin was presented before all the demon gods.

The Holy Necromancer, Slumbering Calamity Elux appeared, and the aura from before which had suppressed the souls of all the demon gods reached an apex.

“A light element necromancer?” The Demon God Emperor almost cried out

The scene moved very quickly. Elux condensed a golden heart in his hand. Although it had only appeared for a split second, the Demon God Emperor still saw it. In the next moment, he saw golden light surge and jump rapidly around Long Haochen’s chest.

The scene changed again. It was when Elux held the Sickle of the God of Death to purify himself.

Vassago’s prophecy lasted until then and could not continue any further. He had forcefully strengthened the Prophecy of Life, so the length of it had decreased drastically.

The orange screen of light gradually dimmed and the images faded as well. Vassago tottered about as he was enveloped in light.

“He’s… not… human. He’s… an undead… He has… the body… of an undead. He’s… still dead. He’s… dead. Austin… Griffin… can’t be… still… alive. Long Haochen’s… only an undead… only… an undead.”

Vassago’s voice sounded like both weeping and appealing. The demon gods could not help but look over when they heard it. Currently, Vassago was like a ghost. He was charred black all over. He used his own like to tell the Demon God Emperor that his prophecy was not wrong. Long Haochen did indeed die, and he had not been revived. He was living as an undead. All he possessed was a heart that a powerful necromancer had modelled.

Gazes of query basically appeared in the eyes of all the demon gods present. They looked at the Demon God Emperor. In particular, Agares had clenched his fists out of anger.

At this moment, the Demon God Emperor raised his hand and a ball of green light flew over, landing on Vassago’s body.

The gentle green light enveloped Vassago and powerful vitality poured into his body. A pleasant, crisp trickling sound rang out like a mountain stream.

Vassago’s exhausted vitality actually began to replenish at an astonishing rate and his tottering body actually stabilised as well.

What was this power? The demon gods all stared at Vassago in shock. No matter how powerful the Demon God Emperor was, he possessed the powers of darkness! But before them, this was clearly life magic and it was at such a high level that it could rival the Demon God Emperor’s dark magic!

The Demon God Emperor frowned. He knew he had gone slightly overboard today. Even if he possessed supreme authority among the demons, Vassago was still the demon god that ranked third, as well as the demon prophet. He was forced to take out that treasure to protect Vassago’s life, or the demon gods present would probably grow apart from him.

The Demon God Emperor took off his luxurious black cape and slowly arrived before Vassago. He looked at the green light gradually recover his vitality as he said, “I’ve messed up because I care. I’ve accused you wrongly about this matter. Every single one of us here understands what Austin Griffin means to our race, and that is the reason why I was furious. All I can do is bring back your lost life. Third brother, I hope you can understand me.” As he said that, he personally draped the cape over Vassago.

The vitality in the green light was just too powerful. In just a short while, not only did Vassago recover all the vitality he had used up in the Prophecy of Life, he had even recovered from the damage that was caused by the prophecy. In that moment, he experienced a multitude of feelings. He looked at the Demon God Emperor before him speechlessly.

The Demon God Emperor waved his hand and released the Moon Demon God’s seal, before turning around and returning to his throne.

The Star Demon God’s recovery quickly dissipated the resentment that the other demon gods experienced. Agares quickly arrived beside Vassago as he looked at him with a gaze of query.

Vassago looked back at him deeply. There was gratitude in his eyes. Out of all these demon gods, he had assisted basically every single one of them in the past. As the demon prophet, basically all the demon gods had come to him for his prophecies before. However, in this crucial moment, only Agares was willing to stand up for him, even despite the Demon God Emperor’s fury. Just as the saying went, adversity reveals true friendship. Although Vassago said nothing, his grateful gaze told the Moon Demon God many things.

Agares glanced at him and Vassago nodded gently. Wrapping himself in the Demon God Emperor’s cape, he took a few steps forward and knelt down, “Your majesty, I, Vassago, admit my wrongs. Long Haochen is indeed still alive. It was my prophecies that were insufficient, which caused such a great problem for your majesty. Please punish me.”

Agares and Vassago both understood the Demon God Emperor. Although the Prophecy of Life earlier had already shone that the Demon God Emperor had wrongly accused the Star Demon God, was anyone really bold enough to blame the Demon God Emperor? No matter how much resentment Vassago experienced, he could not afford to show any of it at all. He even had to cover it all up for the sake of the Demon God Emperor.

The Demon God Emperor Fengxiu was the greatest powerhouse of the demons in the past six thousand years. He had not reached his current status by relying on others.

With a wave of his hand, spiritual energy lifted Vassago to his feet. Fengxiu sighed, “Being right is being right, and being wrong is being wrong. You are not wrong. I am. However, I believe you can sense the benefits from the vitality earlier. Just treat it as your older brother making it up to you. That’s called Fairysource. Not only can it recover your vitality, it can give you an additional five hundred years of life as well. Over all these years, you’ve harmed your vitality for our race by giving prophecies again and again. Treat it as the entire race repaying you with thanks. I hope you won’t bear grudges against me.”

Vassago lowered his head and said, “I would never. Thank you for the bestowment, your majesty.”
