Devil's Son-in-Law

Chapter 1263: Shadow of Death

In this magical world, it was not difficult to make the artificial moon that floated in the air. The most difficult thing was the material problem. How could they really create the most suitable light source for the creatures of the Demon Realm, and what kind of reflector could perfectly reflect the light and hear?

After many experiments, everyone finally overcame this difficulty and determined the final selection of materials.

After Elf Grand Master Finoia put forward the idea that ‘the entire moon group should be a complete magic circle’, Chen Rui incorporated some magical functions of ancient runes, which made the quality of the moon leap again and the number was greatly reduced. In the end, in less than 2 months, the first generation of artificial moon was basically successfully developed.

Everyone cheered when hundreds of ‘moons’ rose into the sky at the same time, illuminating the Demon Realm again.

For the life of the Demon Realm, this was not only a miracle, but a God’s work.

This was attributed to the calculation of Crystal Phoenix, the intellectual core of the City of Stars, and the efforts of all experimenters participating in the research and discussion. This was the result of collective wisdom.

Although the haze in the sky remained, the hopes in people’s minds had been lit up by the ‘moon’ lifted into the sky, and the original panic and confusion finally subsided. After going through so many things, the chaotic situation had become more and more stable.

The forces of all races in the human world had joined the Demon Realm confederation. In this way, in addition to the original the 3 empires, humans, dragons, elves, hobbits, and orcs had all become members of the alliance.

The base camp of the dark dragons was far away on Dragon Island, and the original members of the Dragon Valley also chose the archipelago of the Dead Sea as their base. Although the 2 Dragon Emperors were usually rivals, they still held the same views on matters concerning the survival of the dragons. That was, dragons join the alliance and help each other.

The residence of the elf tribe is in the Blue Lake Mountain Range of the Dark Moon Estate, which was originally the location of the City of Stars. It was specially approved by Shea to the elf tribe as a separate small estate, subject to the protection of the Fallen Angel Empire.

Chen Rui fulfilled the promise back then. Using the method of ‘transplanting faith creatures’, he ‘planted’ the Tree of Nature in the elf’s residence, and returned the holy tree that the elves had always cared about. The elves also finally understood why the Legendary Prophet Alucier insisted on handing over the Tree of Nature to this human for protection that day and did not take any action even though it was not returned past the deadline. Instead, he shouldered all the disputes in the tribe.

If it wasn’t for this decision, when Quillian destroyed the Silver Moon Celestial Capital, the Tree of Nature would have been destroyed together, which would be tantamount to completely destroying the elf tribe.

Accustomed to the harsh environment of the Nightmare Wilderness, the orcs, who were naturally brave and aggressive, were obviously very adaptable to the life of the Demon Realm. Their hard-working qualities made them popular hired workers and mercenaries. The leader of the orcs was Fugger who owned the Golden Beamon bloodline. He successfully broke through to the kingdomized level in the battle with the Abyss, but for some reasons, including Fugger, the orcs had a special respect for the elf tribe, especially the current. Particularly Elf Prophet Kilanya was simply regarded as the most awe-inspiring shaman.

The hobbit tribe integrated into the Demon Realm faster. The reason was very simple: The beautiful wine of the Demon Realm. Following the aromatic millet wine, the popularity of white wine set off an upsurge in the Demon Realm again. Especially the ground race, the demand for this kind of wine had far exceeded expectations. White wine and aromatic millet wine actually had their own advantages and disadvantages, but in the eyes of the hobbits who liked strong wine, this was the real good wine. Even the aromatic millet wine they used to like was not worth mentioning.

Compared with these ‘rare races’, humans were the race that merged with the demons most. After the wedding of Elf Sivling and the Fallen Angel Empire royal family’s Rometty, many humans began to intermarry with demons. Some for survival, some for finding support or other reasons. There was no shortage of ‘migrant’ humans all over the Demon Realm’s various estates, but due to the largest number, it was also the most conflict that occurred. Humans established a temporary alliance, mainly with the original 2 Holy Empires as the core. The Dragon Bright Empire’s existing military force was the strongest. Lex the Great and Chen Rui had the most special relationship of father and son, so they were the highest representatives, while Landbis was the deputy. After the human alliance joined the confederation, their relationship with the Demon Realm became closer. Of course, this was against the background of having a common enemy. In another era, even if the humans and demons had no feud, it would be impossible to unite in this way.

In terms of someone’s harem, Helen’s return to the house did not cause too much shock in the harem. The long hair that turned silver was a sign of losing the Siren’s Heart. If she hadn’t sacrificed the Siren’s Heart, Chen Rui’s soul would have been annihilated during the battle of Despair Main Altar.

She had a good relationship with all the girls before, but it was all based on the ‘vicious mouth attack’ on Chen Rui. Now she had changed from being a bystander to an insider, and it was she herself who was even more uncomfortable. If she hadn’t known about the catastrophe of life and death from magic television and wanted to be by his side in the ‘last moment’, she might have stayed in the Soul Song Sea Area forever.

Alice, who had been begging to have fun in bed, naturally was not willing to fall behind others. Hence, she launched a fierce counterattack strategy against Chen Rui according to the reverse plot of the heroine in the recently popular doomsday novels.

No one knew the exact plot. Anyway, every time Alice walked out triumphantly with hohohohoho all the way. She looked like a villain who had successfully seized a good woman.

However, according to people familiar with the matter, Royal Highness Little Princess was actually just satisfying her vanity by faking. She did not succeed in the true sense.

As the first girl Chen Rui met in the Demon Realm and also the girl who ‘took’ his first kiss, after going through such a thing until now, the 2 of them had no emotional obstacles. It was just because of the loli’s appearance. Under the restriction of a certain moral concept, he still really couldn’t do that to her.

Although the situation was becoming more and more stable, and his personal life seemed to be full and happy, the pressure on Chen Rui’s mind had not decreased but increased. In the following days, he did not slack at all, but he devoted himself to training.

The disappearance of 2 moons has sounded the alarm. If I think that the disappearance of the door between 2 worlds will allow me to train and live with peace of mind for more than 100 years, then I am completely wrong. The dark clouds that are still covering the sky of the Demon Realm are the best warning.

He had a vague premonition that the disappearance of 2 moons might just be the beginning.

On this day, the half-elf subordinate, Taylos, brought a message that Elf Prophet Kilanya invited Chen Rui to the elf residence to discuss important matters.

Chen Rui set up a star point in the Blue Lake Mountain Range, and he arrived at the destination in an instant. Seeing Chen Rui suddenly appeared, the guards of the elves bowed respectfully, because this human was not only the strongest powerhouse in the whole world, he was also recognized as the holy tree guardian of the elf tribe, 1 of the few Hero Kings in the elf tribe.

Upon hearing the news of Chen Rui’s arrival, the current Elf Empress Philly and Elf Prophet Kilanya came out together. Michelle was the fastest. She threw herself into Chen Rui’s arms, “Brother!”

Chen Rui fondled the sister elf’s hair, then he hugged the unicorn White Wind who rushed over affectionately. He said to Michelle, “Why haven’t you been to the Dark Moon for a while? Alice and the others miss you very much.”

“I have a lot to learn, and I don’t have time until Saturday and Sunday…” The little elf princess was much more sensible now. She then raised the phone with a smile, “However, we still talk every day.”

“Keep it up.” Chen Rui and Michelle hooked their fingers together, and the little elf princess sensibly led White Wind away.

“Your Highness.” Philly and Kilanya stepped forward to bow. This title covered both the prince consort and the Elf King, which was quite appropriate.

Chen Rui nodded, “We are all old friends, you don’t have to be so polite. Why does Madam Kilanya ask to see me?”

“Let’s go to the Holy Tree and talk.”

Chen Rui, Kilanya, and Philly walked toward the location of the Tree of Nature. Along the way, Chen Rui saw many elves… Not only the original elf of the Silver Moon Celestial Capital, but also the half-elf, and even the Demon Realm’s dark elf.

Although dark elves could breed offspring without relying on the Tree of Nature, the Tree of Nature could quickly enhance and condense the power of dark elves. Perhaps it was the ‘last’ 100 plus years, in order for the elf tribe to survive and prosper in the Demon Realm better, the originally proud elves finally accepted these ‘heterogeneous’.

“I never thought that there would be a day like this. The half-elf, dark elf would bathe with us in the light of the holy tree.” Philly looked at the ‘moon’ in the sky, “It’s like God’s work.”

“What I saw was a ‘miracle’, not a ‘God’s work’, because miracles are created by people.” Chen Rui also looked at those artificial moons, “Not only that, but I also saw a strong faith of hope and desire to survive. Maybe we will create an even more incredible tomorrow.”

Princess Philly nodded, but Kilanya, who was also looking up at the sky, sighed, “What I see is not only light and hope but the haze behind it.”

“What did you see?” Although Kilanya’s strength was only at the early stage of the Pseudo-God, and her real combat power was not at the level of the real Pseudo-God, Chen Rui did not underestimate her at all, because the weight of the ‘elf prophet’ could not be measured by combat power.

“Your Highness, see for yourself.” Kilanya walked in front of the Tree of Nature, and a faint mist appeared on the green leaf staff, echoing the power of the Tree of Nature, “My foresight power is still quite limited. I must rely on the power of the holy tree. Your Highness, please relax and touch the power of my consciousness with your soul.”

Chen Rui nodded. He slowly approached the mist of the green leaf staff with his soul power. All of a sudden, he felt a boom in his head. A scene had already appeared.

There were still endless dark clouds in the sky, covering the Demon Realm.

The dark clouds slowly began to change, and they had become exactly the same as the scene below. From a distance, it looked like a mirror image.

The mirror image pressed down gradually, quickly engulfing the artificial moon in the sky. The Demon Realm plunged into darkness again. The mirror image was still pressing. The tallest TV tower had come into contact with the identical ‘tower’ ‘reflected’ in the sky, and the 2 towers collapsed and annihilated at the same time.

Soon, as the mirror image collided, everything else was the same. Buildings, terrain, and life were all destroyed. The whole world was reduced to ashes.

Chen Rui looked at this scene in horror as the image soon began to distort and blur before it then disappeared. His vision returned to the Tree of Nature.

Kilanya’s body shook. Her facial expression became extremely pale, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Teacher, what happened to you?” Empress Philly supported Kilanya in surprise.

Kilanya smiled wryly, “Any foresight has a price to pay. Now I understand why my father opposed me inheriting the prophet in the early years.”

“So what I saw just now… is the real future?” Chen Rui was still in shock. No wonder he always had a premonition of uneasiness in his mind.

“If it is not changed.” Kilanya sighed.

When he didn’t see the foresight vision, Chen Rui didn’t feel anything, but now when he looked at the dark clouds in the sky, he felt that the shape was no doubt a bit weird. It seems that a kind of mirror image rudiment had been formed!

This must be a secret technique similar to the power of the mirror world! And the power of this secret technique… will cover and destroy the entire Demon Realm!

Chen Rui was suddenly very grateful to Alucier for giving him the experience in the mirror world, which made him understand more clearly the terrifyingness of this secret technique. At the same time, he knew that a huge crisis was coming to the Demon Realm at the moment.

It turns out that it wasn’t the clouds that engulfed 2 moons, but the shadow that directly brings destruction and death!

This is the real purpose of Quilliana!

Just when everyone thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, they were already at the brink of despair!
