I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 1515 20.79 First Black Star - The Demon Willow Treeʼs Uninvited Guests

Silence descended after the sudden human emperorʼs outburst. His expressions look menacing, as if he wanted to eat people. But no matter what he does, the royal guards outside his palace wouldnʼt allow him to go out. He was stuck inside his golden cage and prevented from showing himself to anyone in the imperial palace, especially to the civilians beyond the palace walls.

It was because of this that he had been losing his temper more recently than before and horrified the members of his harem except for the puppet of Wang Xiajie.

An Ziwei took everything for granted. He thought that as long as he became the human emperor, he would be able to do anything he wanted. What he didnʼt expect was that the emperor was the busiest one in the palace. Their work every day is so heavy an emperor could hardly rest.

He had to worry not only about his city but everything within his territory; including the land, disasters, and even the people under him. Emperors possessed the heaviest responsibility towards their own race, and this is especially true for royal blood like his, whose luck depends on the luck of the people in his land.

Once the common people are dissatisfied with him, the human emperor, all the purple qi, which also entails all the luck in his territory, would fade and his power would greatly weaken.

The disrespect of the officials and ministers as well as the revolt caused by the noble families is just the beginning. Once the common people learned about his debauchery, the purple qi lingering on him would fade. Just the fact that his current identity is just a stolen one; he was not even from the royal bloodline.

The stolen power wouldnʼt last, and this is what is happening to An Ziwei at this moment.

It was also for this reason that An Ziwei urgently wanted to return to the Throne Hall and prove himself. It was also for this reason that his subordinates didnʼt allow him to return. They know that the closer the human emperor is to his throne, the stronger his power is.

Seeing the stubbornness of the human emperor, puppet Wang Xiajie already lost his temper. His original never had a good temperature towards others, especially now that the real Hei Xiaojing is dead in the true sense that no one could even remember him.

Wang Xiajie slams his cup of coffee upon calmly watching An Ziweiʼs outburst.

Clang!

”Do you think you have the right to speak here?! Donʼt forget your place. That identity wasnʼt even yours in the first place. It was something you have stolen from others!” The puppet of Wang Xiajie stated.

His words linger in the whole room, which dumbfounded almost everyone in the area; including the members of the harem, the royal guards just outside the palace, and the hidden guard in the shadows. They didnʼt expect to hear about such a thing.

”Shut up!”

The current human emperor, An Ziwei, urgently covered the mouth of the puppet Wang Xiajie and looked around anxiously. Seeing the stunned look of disbelief on their faces, he knew that he was done for.

”Shut up! Shut up! Zhen will fucking cut your tongue!” shouted An Ziwei.

A concubine raised his hand and pointed at An Ziwei with trembling fingers.

”Y-Y-You are a... fake? Impossible! How can you sit on the throne if you are a fake?”

”Bergh! Did I sacrifice myself to someone who is not of royal blood!?

”Fucking bitches! What the hell are you saying!? Iʼm the human emperor!!!” screamed An Ziwei while looking around with aggressive bloodshot eyes.

He once again started throwing things around. Sounds of screams, curses, and angry voices echo from within the emperorʼs chamber. The royal guards and the hidden guards all heard what was being said inside the palace, yet they chose to ignore it. Some even reported it to the ministers.

This is useful information enough to drag down the current emperor to the throne. Itʼs just that they needed to approve things to get all things done. They didnʼt notice that the luck of their land had diminished a lot; if this continues, their country will slowly perish until nothing is left.

On the Barbarianʼs Side...

The situation from before had made this barbarian race embarrassed enough. They had just recently gotten their intelligence, and their habits as a primitive tribe remain.

When the human soldiers baited them with the fragrance of meat, they could hardly control themselves, and the fact they completely lost control was like a slap in the face. If not for their Willow God, the barbarian crossing the lines of boundaries would cause a war.

As that happens, those who started the spark of war will be at a disadvantage. Moreover, the human race had an advantage in numbers. The Barbarian race can only be considered as a tribe or a native group within only a few dozen families. In their whole race, the barbarians gather under the Demon Willow Tree.

”We thank the Tree God for saving us again!”

”Tree God saved our lives! Thank you!”

”We survive thanks to the Tree God. Blessings for the Tree God.”

While some barbarians worship the Demon Willow Tree, there are also some who are dissatisfied with what he has done. Saving and pulling away those short-tempered barbarians was enough; he just had to attack the other side first and cross the line.

Now that the human race knew that the barbarian race was hiding a demon in their tribe, they would be treated as an evil faction like those evil cultivators.

”This is not good! The tree God shouldnʼt have shown himself to!”

”Now the human knows that thereʼs a sentient demon on our side. Righteous cultivators will definitely get involved. The ones we have to worry about are humans who practice immortality!”

”What should we do? What to do?”

”I donʼt want to die!”

”This is all your fault! You shouldnʼt have shown yourself!”

”What a Tree God!? Youʼre a damn death-bringer!”

”Shut up! Donʼt blame the Tree God!”

”Itʼs your fault for not holding back your stomachs!”

The barbarian tribe was split into two sides. One side revered the Demon Willow Tree as a god, and the other wanted to break free from his protection as they gained everything they could from him.

With two factions splitting the barbarian race, one is against the other. The former wanted to protect the Demon Willow Tree, while the latter wanted to separate from the tribe. Most people who stayed with the willow tree were the female barbarians whose children were saved by the Demon Willow Tree.

As for the latter faction, most of them were male barbarians who were led by the most intelligent barbarians they called shamans.

Because of what happened in the borders, those who were against the Demon Willow Tree had left the tribe and made another of their own, while those who wished to stay with the Demon Willow Tree, whom they treat as God, remained in the village to continue revering him.

Once the sun had set and the bright sky had turned dark, most people had fallen asleep. Usually, the evening at the barbarian tribe would be as quiet and serene as before. However, tonight says otherwise. The Demon Willow Tree immediately noticed the isolation barrier that appeared around him and immediately woke up his spirit form. He is the old man in an ancient dark green robe.

If the God of Destruction Hei Anjing was here, he would have recognized this Demon Willow Tree. This is the Demon Willow Tree theyʼve met at the Apocalypse World before. The uninvited guests were none other than the God of Void, the Holy Son of the Profound Sect, Warden Yun Ming, and the Chief Warden of the Nether Prison.

All of them emitting some kind of aura on them made the Demon Willow Tree hapless. If it is only one powerful cultivator, he might be able to defend this tribe even in exchange for his life, but unfortunately, there are three gods and a human child with a weird aura quite similar to his.

{Intruders! You are not welcome in this place! Leave! Leave now or I will kill you!!} screeches the irritated Demon Willow Tree.

As soon as these four appeared before him, the Demon Willow Tree turned menacing and murderous. Its branches turned sharp and pointed as it attacked the four of them. His attacks were easily blocked by the Chief Wardenʼs spear and a wave of the God of Voidʼs hand.

Seeing the darkness corroding his branches, the Demon Willow Tree immediately destroyed these branches. Darkness corruption spreads slowly, yet it brings extreme pain to those affected by it.

Whoosh!

{Damn! Outsiders from the other world! How dare you come to my place and start killing everyone.}

Warden Yun Ming said, ”We didnʼt kill anyone. We only put them to sleep!”

{I donʼt believe you!} Shouted the Demon Willow Tree.

The God of Void said, ”Annoying! Letʼs just burn them all.”

A black fire appeared above the God of Voidʼs palm, which terrified those who knew what kind of flame it was. Only the Holy Son, who didnʼt know about it, tried to touch it but was stopped by the God of Void itself.

Warden Yun Ming mumbles, ”The hottest flame that is rarely seen and hardly anything could extinguish it, Hell Flame!”

Upon seeing the glowing obsidian flame, the Demon Willow Tree shook in fear. He knew that this flame could instantly kill him.
