Chapter 789: Chapter 346: Jack Hegemon, Blood of Demon God
Under the dim night, a black castle stood tall upon the land.
In the castle, a figure over five meters tall sat on the throne, surrounded by roiling black demonic qi, exuding the terrifying pressure of a Demon King level.
Flanking either side were more than a dozen burly figures clad in dark red battle armor, sporting curved, ferocious horns and pitch-black, sharp tails, very much resembling Mikus from before.
At the main seat, Demon King Devianna’s deep voice rang out, “Half of the Silent Night has passed. Is there any news about the Human Race’s Darren Callum?”
On the left below, a Purgatory True Demon that appeared small among the many Nine-layered Demon Clans bowed slightly, respectfully saying, “Reporting to Demon King, there is still no news received as of now.”
Devianna’s eyebrows twitched slightly, “Still no news? Could it be that Darren has not entered the Vast World but is hiding and growing behind the Human Race’s lines?”
The slight Purgatory True Demon pondered for a moment, “That shouldn’t be the case. The nurturing methods of the Human Race are different from ours. Their Aristocratic Level fresh blood quickly enters the Vast World.”
“To those from the primordial worlds, plagued by scarcity, it’s only within the resource-abundant, stable Heavenly Earth Rules of the Vast World that they can grow faster.”
“If there is no news at the moment, it’s likely that those humans who have come into contact with our clan are not of high enough rank, or due to their location at the periphery, these people find it difficult to obtain important intelligence in a timely manner.”
“Of course, there’s also a possibility that the conditions our clan offered are not enticing enough for them to take the risk.”
“Those humans are extremely greedy and crafty, always cautious when dealing with our clan, desiring precious resources yet afraid of exposure.”
At this point, a cold smile appeared on the face of the slender demon, “Unfortunately, they don’t realize that once they take our clan’s resources, there’s no turning back.”
Devianna pondered for a moment before saying in a deep voice, “Tell them that whoever can provide accurate intelligence on Darren Callum will receive a portion of the Blood of the Demon God.”
“The Blood of the Demon God, my lord, won’t this be too cheap for those humans?” All the True Demons below showed shaken expressions, their eyes filled with longing.
The Blood of the Demon God, although named after the Demon God, is actually a divine object of life evolution concocted by the Purgatory Demon Race using countless Giant Beasts and other lives as materials.
Beings other than the Demon Clan that absorb it can transform into Purgatory True Demons, purify their bloodlines, obtain a leap in life hierarchy, and become top-tier Nobles with the potential of a demon king.
Even those of them with Nine Demonic Marks can make use of it.
However, the creation of the Blood of the Demon God is extremely difficult; even the Dark Demon Empire can only concoct it once every hundred Day and Night Alternations, and there’s so little that ordinary demon clan powerhouses simply aren’t eligible to partake.
“Not only Darren, but tell those humans that if they provide useful intelligence on human geniuses and king-level descendents, the reward will be tripled.”
Devianna refused to believe that with such high rewards, those greedy humans could resist the temptation.
…
After passing through many hazardous areas and flying for over four hours, Jack Clark finally arrived at the Seventh Legion’s garrison of the Development Department.
Under the dark night, a divine tree tens of kilometers high stood erect, reaching into the clouds with its layered crown stretching over tens of kilometers, blotting out the sun and moon.
But at this time, this Sky-touching Tree radiated silver brilliance, with leaves that seemed to gather moonlight from above, converging into a halo that illuminated the surrounding heaven and earth.
Even Jack couldn’t help but marvel at this sight, “It is said that this Moonlight Divine Tree is comparable to a King-level strong man.”
Gwen Gail smiled and nodded, “That’s right, Lord Silverglow is a special lifeform, neither tree nor something else, possessing tremendous power within the scope of its silver glow.”
While talking, the fighter aircraft approached rapidly, and upon entering the range illuminated by the silver brilliance, an invisible fluctuation swept over the aircraft.
Whoosh! The aircraft darted through massive branches and finally landed gently in a ‘square’ made of silver leaves in the middle of the tree.
Around them, fighter aircraft were constantly landing or taking off, showing a buzz of activity.
At the same time, a special ‘city’ built around the tree’s midsection came into Jack’s view.
“Hahaha… come and chase me, little one.”
“Wait for me, Dog Egg…”
Walking on a road built on the trunk of the tree, wide enough for several tens of meters with traffic coming and going in the middle and super soldiers wearing battle armor and carrying weapons on the pedestrian walkways on both sides.
Jack’s gaze swept over those special ‘vehicles’ and the ‘elevators’ continuously moving up and down in the distance, feeling somewhat puzzled, “Mr. Gail, isn’t it said that technological products suffer serious erosion here?”
Although Jack had reviewed information about the mythical world before coming, that data mainly described the customs and culture of the mythical world in a general sense.
For example, the Seventh Legion of the Development Department was simply introduced as established within a divine tree comparable to a Mythical King.
Faced with Jack’s confusion, Hannah Gail explained, “Pure technological electronics do indeed suffer severe erosion under the rich heavenly energy, but that doesn’t mean they cannot be used.”
“After decades of research, we have achieved a preliminary combination of technology and inscriptions. By adding special runes and talents to those mechanical devices, we can reduce the erosion intensity.”
“However, many precision instruments and electronic components still need to be manufactured first in the Blue Star World, endowed with a protective layer of runes, before they can be brought here.”
“Besides, in this situation, our demand for energy-conductive minerals and materials increases every day, to perfect the civilizational construction of each base.”
“However, while developing vigorously, population has become the biggest constraint at present.”
