Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 1006 - 849: Forget Not Friends When Prosperous (Part 3)

There was a long period afterward where I didn’t hear any news about him. When we met again over a hundred years later, he had already become the Demon King. I can’t say exactly when he ascended to the throne.

Nevertheless, he was still very good to me!

When we used to wander around, he once asked me what my wish was. I casually said: I wish to be a wealthy and powerful Demon Cultivator with nothing to worry about, getting whatever I wanted.

When we met again, he had become the Demon King. He seemed much more mature and steady than before. He honestly admitted that he couldn’t grant my wish to get whatever I wanted, after all, he wasn’t the Heavenly Dao.

But as the Demon King, he could fulfill the first half of my wish—he gave me a large and prosperous fief and a nominal position where I got paid regularly without having to do anything. Unlike other lords, I didn’t have to go to the Royal Palace to be lectured. During that time, I was very happy.

Jiang Yuanxin said, isn’t this what is meant by ’in wealth and power, don’t forget your old friends’?

Unfortunately, her close friend, the pretend Demon King, got into trouble, otherwise, he’d still be basking in glory now.

"When did the decapitation operation start?"

"About fifty or sixty years ago, I heard the Demon King say that the Demon Realm Alliance of Wilderness World had long sold the shaky small world to the Demon Realm." Jiu Mu made a downward gesture, "It couldn’t sustain itself anymore; its destruction was only a matter of time."

The Demon Realm Alliance, representing the Demon Cultivators of Wilderness World, sold it for a good price, planning to lead all the world’s creatures away then. This way, they could avoid the calamity of the world collapsing, and there’d be a chance to start anew. The Demon Realm could also relieve some pressure, a win-win situation.

But as a result... I’m not clear on the details, but it seems like the Demon Cultivators went back on their word.

They refused to organize the migration of Demon Cultivators and Demon Beasts, to voluntarily give up Wilderness World. How could the dignified Demon King be fooled like this?

Even if Yun Li was even-tempered, he couldn’t stand being played like this. So he was very angry, determined to take over Wilderness World, and planned the decapitation operation to secretly assassinate those treacherous Great Demon Cultivators, causing chaos in Wilderness World and seizing the chance to invade."

"You were lurking at Station 7 so early?"

"Not exactly. At the time, it was just a plan, but for some reason, they didn’t choose the Demon Cultivators to implement it. Until three years ago, the Demon King suddenly appointed me the chief commander of the decapitation operation and put me in charge of Station 7.

I only knew the general content, but I had never received the Divine Artifact.

About eight or nine months ago, a sudden order came from the Demon Realm, stripping me of my title and command, putting me under close confinement to reflect on my actions. That traitor Luo Nanjia replaced me, met the Demon King, and received the Divine Artifact."

At this point, she paused, perplexed, "I arranged for Jiu Qing to become a member of the action team and get the approval of the Divine Artifact; after I was confined, the irreplaceable Jiu Qing went to formally receive the Divine Artifact.

Logically speaking, it should have been the Demon King who bestowed the Divine Artifact, but if the ’seen’ Demon King was real, why would Yun Li suddenly believe Luo Nanjia’s slander and target me?

If it were false, how could they have replaced and disguised Yun Li in such a short time, manipulating all those Divine Artifacts he painstakingly gathered?

Although I don’t know if he was in the Mahayana Realm or the Tribulation Crossing Realm, possessing so many Divine Artifacts and Magical Treasures, he couldn’t possibly have no reaction upon being betrayed. What on earth happened to him, and where did he go?"

Jiang Yuan frowned slightly, "Do you think there’s a possibility— Yun Li, the Demon King, left of his own accord? He might not have been betrayed but had some compelling reason to leave.

Before departing, he was worried you might get caught in the chaos, so he took away your power and position in advance, making you irrelevant.

Knowing that you are skilled in Space Technique yet ordered confinement nearby—doesn’t sound like he intended to harm you. Publicly declaring you were imprisoned, but in fact, you could escape anytime."
