117. Resumption, Issue
Jiu Huo immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry, She Sheng, quickly take Zhan Shuai to the Bloodline Interval to heal his wounds."
"Yes."
Shesheng Tongzi immediately gave Tengxie a princess carry and ran away.
"Hey, you silly little brother, can't you do something behind your older brother's back?"
"Speak less, save your energy."
"You dare to disobey me..."
Before Tengxie could finish speaking, he fell into a deep, exhausted sleep.
after.
Tengxie gradually regained consciousness and saw that he was still connected to his bloodline, with several thick blood vessels still connected to him, infusing him with qi, blood and demonic energy.
With a thought, Teng Xie's blood vessels receded, and he stood up and stretched, his joints making a cracking sound.
I don't know how long I slept... three days.
Teng Xie suddenly sensed his precise biological clock and knew that he had slept for exactly three days, no more and no less.
The ignition of the sixth sense brings entirely new feelings and new understandings—it's truly wonderful beyond words…
As Tengxie familiarized himself with the new sensations, he arrived at the second hall.
Empress.
"Commander, you're awake. How are you feeling?"
"Excellent, fully recovered, no problem at all."
Upon hearing this, Jiu Huo smiled and said, "In that case, let's go to the First Hall later to discuss our future plans."
Upon hearing this, Teng Xie felt a slight stirring in his heart. Previously, he was a war commander, not a demon lord. The highest-ranking person in the demon realm was still the empress Jiu Huo.
Now, Jiu Huo is voluntarily relinquishing power, handing over more authority to Teng Xie.
Tengxie secretly thought that this should be Jiu Huo's way of acknowledging his great achievement in connecting the fault lines... and there should also be an element of attacking Tian.
In his memory, in the original drama, Jiu Huo went to great lengths to finally reconnect the fault lines, and after Xi Mie Tian came, he went to her to ask for military power in the Demon Realm.
In the original series, Jiu Huo had to rely on Xi Mie Tian Lai's powerful strength and had no choice but to accept it.
Now, Jiu Huo already has a powerful eldest son. She is well aware that Xi Mie Tian Lai has a huge ambition to destroy Buddhism and promote his ideology, which is not the same as the direction of the Demon Realm.
Instead of waiting for Xi Mietian to make demands, she should first concentrate power on Teng Xie.
Jiu Huo said that Xi Mie Tian Lai might make an exorbitant demand of her, but Xi Mie Tian Lai could try asking Teng Xie for military power instead.
The two went to Jiu Huo's study first, to get a heads-up before formally discussing important matters.
"The position of First Palace Demon Lord remains vacant. With your current achievements, Teng Xie, it is the will of the people to ascend the throne."
Teng Xie shook his head slightly. "The position of Queen and First Palace Demon Lord has always been held by the King of the Demon Clan. Although the Demon Clan is now in decline and there is no suitable candidate, if I were to become the Demon Lord, I would need the joint recommendation of the Kings of the Evil Clan and the Ghost Clan, as well as the approval of the Demon Lords of previous generations. The process is quite complicated."
However, the relationship between our side and the various parties in the Bitter Realm is still unclear, and with Xuanzong and Wanshengyan by our side, we can still be said to be in a state of war. Therefore, military power can be dealt with as appropriate.
I wish to consolidate the fighting forces of the three races during this period, temporarily commanding their combat troops and assuming the position of war commander. What is your opinion, Empress?
Tengxie means that I value real power more than status. It's not the power to rule all affairs of a palace, but the power to control the entire army of the demon realm. I want military power, and I want to have complete control of the gun barrels in my own hands.
"Um……"
Upon hearing this, Jiu Huo immediately understood. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Teng Xie, I have always been better at logistics and support work. The generals of the Second Hall can be transferred to the First Hall at any time. You have no problem taking command of the military power of the two halls."
The key issue is the Third Hall. The Ghost Clan's military power has always been solely at the command of the Ghost King, and the elite troops of the Ghost Clan are the Ghost King's personal guard… Even if the Ghost King himself agrees, there will still be enormous controversy.”
Tengxie nodded. Of the three races, the demon, the evil, and the ghost, the demon is the most valiant and skilled in battle, but in terms of overall strength, the ghost is not only the strongest, but even surpasses the combined strength of the demon and the evil races. Among them, there are several top-level warriors whose combat power surpasses that of Tunfo and Shesheng. Moreover, the Ghost King also has a personal guard composed entirely of warrior generals.
It can be said that the Ghost King is equivalent to the common ruler of the three races in the Demon Realm, except that the rules define the three palaces as parallel.
Jiu Huo glanced at Teng Xie and thought to himself that if Teng Xie's true bloodline were revealed, he would be qualified to sit on the throne of the Ghost King, but the controversy surrounding that qualification was greater than that of commanding the military power of the Three Palaces.
"Queen, you and I are currently the highest leaders of the Demon Realm. We can set this issue first, and under the pretext of still being at war, we can try it out as appropriate. Once the Demon Clan's high-ranking officials recover, we can convene the high-ranking officials of the Three Palaces to discuss this matter together."
"Um……"
Jiu Huo nodded. The three races of the Demon Realm are of equal status. The Ghost King is the common ruler of the three races, but this is only an unspoken rule. Under the current circumstances, she can indeed work with Teng Xie to handle the affairs of the Ghost Clan.
"Tengxie, then I will support your idea... Now that the rift has been cleared, you should go to the Heavenly Demon Pool to pay homage to the souls of the past Demon Lords and raise this matter. If the past Demon Lords agree, then this matter will be perfectly legitimate."
Teng Xie nodded. The Heavenly Demon Pool is like the ancestral temple of the demon realm, except that it does not house the memorial tablets of past demon lords. Instead, it is where the final demon spirits of the past demon lords return after their deaths to worship the progenitor of demons and the supreme being who created the demon realm.
That is, in Tengxie's memory, the super demon god who almost destroyed the Divine Land, the god of destruction and regeneration, the Abandoned Heaven Emperor.
Tengxie knew that the Heavenly Demon Pool not only contained the souls of the Demon Lords of past generations, but also that the progenitor of demons, who projected his divine thoughts to watch over the Demon Realm from a higher dimension of existence.
According to Tengxie's memories, that progenitor of demons was an ancient primordial spirit of creation, a true god.
Teng Xie couldn't help but wonder if this great god would notice his abnormality if he were under the divine attention of this god.
So what if he can see it? Anyway, that great god doesn't have any extremely special means to descend into the demon realm, or rather, the human world, reality, or the realm of suffering. He can only project his divine thoughts, so he probably can't do anything to Tengxie... right?
Teng Xie's mind raced, and he nodded, saying, "I'll pay my respects later. Oh, and the Wolf Lord is the guardian after the fault line; I'll pay him a visit as well."
Jiu Huo nodded. Although there were only a few Blood Wolf Clan members left, the Wolf Lord was not only the strongest blacksmith in the Demon Realm, but also the most senior elder. He was the first demon created by the Demon Ancestor and was once a servant of the Demon Ancestor's descending body.
Moreover, he had a very close relationship with that family. In private, Tengxie would call that wolf lord "uncle".
"Empress, how is the Demon Lord?"
"The demon is still recovering. Although he has mastered great skills, he has consumed a lot of energy and will need some time to recover."
"And once he recovers, Wansheng Rock will likely be anything but peaceful."
"Oh."
Jiu Huo chuckled softly, "According to the Demon, his appearance back then was extremely secretive. Even the two abbots of Wansheng Rock, the two Venerables of Light and Immaculate, did not know of his existence. I am very much looking forward to seeing what kind of shock the Demon will bring to those monks."
