Laura was watching Gu Qing Shan and the Shadow Fiend King’s negotiation, so as she heard what the Progenitor said, she couldn’t help but laugh.

“Gu Qing Shan, you don’t have to be so stingy with the following ones, the things these guys want are all so cheap, it’s fine even if we offer a bit more, I still have a lot” she silently sent her voice to tell him.

“I know, but being wealthy is one thing and doing business is another. You can’t encourage evil creatures to be greedy and ask for more, that could instead ruin our plans” Gu Qing Shan silently sent his voice in reply.

Laura was a bit surprised and lowered her head to carefully think about Gu Qing Shan’s words.

Gu Qing Shan then looked at Empress Li Yang again and told her: “Then let’s continue”

『 Alright, the first three Fiend kings had been set, so the next one will be the Asura King 』Empress Li Yang said.

“What kind of person is the Asura King?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

He recalled the Asura King he met once before.

In truth, Gu Qing Shan held quite a bit of respect for both that Asura King and the Great Ghost General.

To save Soft Note, they were willing to wait for 10,000 years.

Empress Li Yang answered: 『 The Asura King isn’t greedy, but he thrives on war and battle, so if he’s free, he’ll accept our offer very easily, but if they’re currently at war with another world then it’ll be a bit difficult 』

Li Yang then changed her hand seal and continued summoning.

A few moments later, a green flame erupted from the void of space.

The flame expanded slowly to form a curtain of flame with a face on it.

A male voice came from the green flame and asked: 「 Empress Li Yang, what do you need from me? 」

Li Yang then told him everything regarding the plan.

The person on the other side of the green flame went silent briefly and spoke in a troubled voice: 「 Lately I’ve been preparing for a few conquests, today just happened to be when we would set out, so it’s a bit difficult to spread our forces so thin… 」

Li Yang explained: 『 It’ll be a bit too troublesome if I have to find an unfamiliar Asura King in an unfamiliar Asura world, can’t you help us this once? 』

「 Heaven’s Tribulation huh, the one facing the Tribulation is… ah? 」

The Asura King looked around before suddenly letting out a surprised cry.

He slightly moved and directed the green flame curtain to fly up and around Gu Qing Shan nonstop.

Gu Qing Shan held his sword in hand, keeping a calm expression without saying anything.

The green flame illuminated his body a bit before returning after not too long.

The Asura King caught the green flames again, apparently sensing something and turning silent for a few dozen seconds.

「 This man is the one facing the Tribulation? 」he suddenly asked.

『 Yes 』Li Yang replied.

「 Very well, I accept. At that time I will surely come 」the Asura King replied.

This time it was Li Yang’s turn to be surprised.

But since he had accepted, she decided to quickly have him confirm with a Contract before he changes his mind!

Empress Li Yang quickly gave him the Saint Bramble Leaf to make a vow to cooperate.

The Asura King readily made the vow.

Seeing that, Empress Li Yang couldn’t help herself asking: 『 Didn’t you say you were going to be busy? Why did you accept so quickly? 』

「 2 million souls isn’t a small amount, furthermore, that man carries two things that are closely related to our Asura race, so I decided to help him once 」the Asura King answered.

Hearing the Asura King, everyone looked at Gu Qing Shan in surprise.

He’s somehow closely related to the Asura?

「 I’ll leave for now, when the Tribulation begins, I will come via the Seat of Tribulation 」the Asura King said.

“Please wait a second”

Seeing the Asura King about to leave, Gu Qing Shan hurriedly called out.

「 What is it? 」the Asura King slowly asked.

“Pardon me asking, what are the two things I carry? And how come I don’t know about them?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

「 Of course you don’t know, they are soul vessel Secret Arts of our Asura race, only those of our tribe would understand when they see it 」the Asura King answered him.

Gu Qing Shan was stunned.

Back in Huang Quan, I once met the Asura King of 10,000 years ago and received all of their battle experience and skills, yet I never knew about any soul vessel Secret Arts.

It’s likely that the Asura King felt that they couldn’t be used so he didn’t give them to me.

Thinking that, Gu Qing Shan politely bowed and spoke seriously: “Can I trouble you to tell me about them in detail? I will be forever grateful”

「 Alright, I guess I can tell you about them 」the Asura King muses a bit.

「 You carry the blessing of an Asura King, something only those that held the throne of Asura can bestow, which represents the fact that you’ve once helped an Asura King solve an extremely crucial problem 」

「 During your journey across the infinite worlds, the Asura of all Samsara worlds will be able to sense this Secret Art and consider you one of their own 」

Gu Qing Shan carefully recalled, apparently the Asura King had been waiting for 10,000 years before that decisive battle.

And I managed to stall the Heavenly God long enough for the Asura King and Great Ghost General to enact their vengeance.

That must be it.

Perhaps at some unknown point, the Asura King had given me this blessing as thanks.

Regretfully, I don’t know whether the Asura King and Great Ghost General had dissipated, returned to the cycle of reincarnation or followed Soft Note back to Sky Haze empire.

What would a soul do after accomplishing their will of 10,000 years?

——–I don’t know anything about that at all.

Gu Qing Shan sighed.

He then asked: “Just now you said that I carry two things that are closely related to the Asura race, then what was the second?”

The Asura calmly looked at him, suddenly chuckled and spoke: 「 That is a very personal matter, just know that isn’t a bad thing. Perhaps you will understand in the future, but I can’t tell you now 」

He swung his hand, fanning the green flames to cover his entire figure.

Then the green flames slowly dissipated.

The Asura King had left the plaza and the lost world of the Old Gods.

After dispelling the summoning technique, he quickly returned to his world.

This was a world plunged in the flames of war.

A large army had rallied.

All Asura had rolled up their sleeves and were preparing their weapons.

—–they were about to enter a war with another world.

The Asura King sat down on his white elephant.

He fell into thought.

“King, what is the matter?” a female Asura by his side curiously asked.

“It’s nothing, relay my order, we won’t set out on the crusade for that world”

“Ah, but everyone had prepared—–”

“I know, there will soon be a Heaven’s Tribulation. I will lead us all to enjoy a feast of slaughter, then we will continue our conquest”

“Yes!”

The female Asura quickly jumped down from the white elephant and relayed the Asura King’s orders.

The Asura King sat alone on top of the white elephant and stayed silent for a long time.

All of a sudden, he muttered.

“How rare for that to be”

“An Asura fights for their entire life, never shedding a single tear, yet she dedicated her tear to you…”

———–

On another side.

Gu Qing Shan was still very confused.

He felt an abrupt sense of sorrow.

But he was in an emergency situation and there was still a lot to do.

“Alright!” he pressed his thoughts down for now and took a deep breath: “So next we’re going to summon the four Devils?”

Empress Li Yang replied: 『 Yes, but unlike the Fiend Kings, we Tianma don’t really associate with the Devil Kings, so my incantation will randomly summon the Ghost Kings from several Ghost realm, and we’ll need to negotiate with them at the same time 』

“Sounds like it’ll be quite difficult” Gu Qing Shan replied.

『 Indeed, it will be troublesome since they will be here all at once 』Empress Li Yang confirmed it.

At this point, even the Progenitor Fiendess herself came forward and assured them: 『 Don’t worry, since I’m here, even if negotiation breaks down, they won’t dare to act up on the spot 』

“Thank you! Can you tell me what kind of characteristics the four Devil Kings might have? I’ll make sure to keep them in mind”

『 That’s simple 』the Progenitor Fiendess looked at Li Yang.

Li Yang explained: 『 The Hunger Devils aren’t well-versed in soul-type magic, but they themselves have a resistance to magic, they enjoy eating living being’s brain the most 』

『 Huang Quan Devils are what living beings turn into after death, you can’t kill them, only send them back to slumber in Huang Quan, so definitely don’t offend them or it’ll be very troublesome 』

『 A Bloodthirsty Devil’s fighting prowess is unimaginably powerful, whenever they suck enough blood, their strength will increase by a large margin 』

『 Malahoh Devils are a bit similar to us Tianma, but unlike us, this type of devil has to kill every day, otherwise they will die. But in exchange, they don’t need a living being’s soul or Soul Points, they can be satisfied by absorbing the miasma that appears when a living being dies 』

“Alright, I understand them better now, let’s begin” Gu Qing Shan said.

『 There is one most important point that you have to remember 』

“What is it?”

『 The Fiend Kings all have their own thoughts and agenda, but the Devil Kings aren’t the same as Fiend Kings. Devil Kings only respect the ability to kill and the strong who can kill the most in the bloodiest way 』

“Got it” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Empress Li Yang formed another foreign hand seal and began to chant.

This time, four unknown Devil Kings will appear at once!

Beside the Progenitor Fiendess, everyone else was anxious.

Ilya and the guards stood around Laura, cautiously watching their surroundings.

The Tianma sisters were gathered in one place discussing something.

Gu Qing Shan calmly waited.

This chant was longer than any of the other ones.

As Li Yang chanted, a faint dust mist began to rise from their feet slowly until it reached their waist.

The grey mist began to swirl.

At a certain point, Empress Li Yang suddenly shouted: 『 The Seats of Tribulation had gathered, show yourselves, o’ Devil Kings! 』

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

With three loud noises, the Devil Kings appeared in the mist.

The first to appear was a grey-skinned monster about 10 meters tall.

Its limbs were thin and long, extremely flexible at a glance. Its body was as thin as dried wood, but its stomach was bloated with an eyeless face growing from it.

This was the Hunger Devil King.

The second to appear didn’t look like a Devil at all. Instead, it looked like some sort of demon beast, with a pair of thick hind legs, arms fashioned with razor-sharp claws, a pair of vertical iris and a mouth full of teeth.

This was the Bloodthirsty Devil King.

The third to appear was a human-headed bird monster with four pairs of wings, giving off a chilling cold essence with a ferocious face.

This was the Malahoh Devil King.

The Hunger Devil King, Bloodthirsty Devil King and Malahoh Devil King all arrived at the plaza at once!

Empress Li Yang looked around, but didn’t see any Huang Quan Devil King answering her summon at all.

『 Strange… Why did no Huang Quan Devil King come to take the Seat of Tribulation? That’s simply not possible… 』

She scowled and muttered in confusion.
