156: Human beings will never be slaves!

"Why so nervous? Aren't you a Demon Lord too?" Shangguan Qing waved her hand dismissively, her slender finger lightly tapping Meng Yun's chest with just the right amount of force, making his heart tickle.

It was Shangguan Qing, just as appealing, but from a different world.

"Demon Lord?" Meng Yun's expression shifted slightly. "Have I finally become what I once hated the most?"

"What are you saying..." Shangguan Qing rolled her eyes at Meng Yun, full of charm.

"If we hadn't become subordinates to the Holy God, we might have died in Xuanwu Heaven long ago."

Shangguan Qing's gaze drifted for a moment, as if recalling that thrilling time.

At that time, Demon Emperor Liang, Xu Beihuang, was already invincible. Even Wu Yinyao, the White Tiger Heaven Emperor, was no match for him.

The mere aftershocks of their battle swept across a hundred thousand li in an instant, and as luck would have it, Meng Yun and Shangguan Qing were caught within the destructive range.

They were instantly on the verge of death, their lives hanging by a thread.

Under such circumstances, the gender-ambiguous Demon Emperor Liang suddenly appeared, and for some unknown reason, bestowed upon them Demon Seed Flesh, granting them new life.

From then on, the two began a new life as members of the Demon Race.

The Human Race retreated steadily. Even White Tiger Heaven, which had long been liberated, faced the risk of collapse due to Xu Beihuang's power.

Countless border territories were carved out by Xu Beihuang and incorporated into Xuanwu Heaven.

Shangguan Qing's hometown, Jinguan City, was among them.

Her thoughts returned to the present.

"So... we're rebelling and counterattacking Wu Yinyao now?" Meng Yun was greatly surprised.

He was getting better too.

The Demon Seed was starting to have infighting.

No, it wasn't infighting, because he had already become a demon.

"Don't put it so harshly..." Shangguan Qing smiled with a complex expression. "When I went out and came back this time, do you know how many of the Three Thousand Worlds have fallen into the hands of the Demon Race?"

"I don't know."

"...Two thousand nine hundred eighty-three." Shangguan Qing's voice was faint. "Humans cannot defeat the Demon Seed."

"Hmm..."

"Not necessarily." Meng Yun pondered for a moment, but ultimately stated firmly.

"You haven't reached the Demon Emperor stage yet, and you haven't had direct contact with the Demon Seed, so naturally you don't know how powerful it is." Shangguan Qing found Meng Yun's inexplicable confidence a bit naive.

Meng Yun did not argue.

He had faced it directly too many times.

And each time, he had won against greater odds.

Even if he said it, she might not believe him.

Moreover, this Shangguan Qing in front of him was not the Shangguan Qing he had personally accompanied and grown close to.

They just looked exactly alike.

And Meng Yun could also feel that this Shangguan Qing in front of him didn't have much passionate admiration for him.

At most, it was just some kind of old-fashioned idea of lifelong commitment binding them together.

Didn't Meng Yun get Yuer pregnant, and Shangguan Qing didn't even react?

True love is strongly exclusive and strongly possessive.

Therefore, Meng Yun didn't want to explain too much to Shangguan Qing.

"Xu Beihuang is about to launch a full assault on White Tiger Heaven," Shangguan Qing said indifferently.

"Then Wu Yinyao and Luo Mian, aren't they in big trouble?" Meng Yun blurted out without thinking.

"What's your relationship with Wu Yinyao?" Shangguan Qing finally cast a questioning gaze at him.

"In just a moment, you've mentioned her several times. What, do you want to go be a hero and save the beauty?"

Shangguan Qing chuckled, "That's fine too. Her grand hall is even named Meng Yun Pavilion. Maybe it was prepared just for you."

Meng Yun: "..."

Shangguan Qing in this timeline was truly overly assertive.

Couldn't she play without being so cutting?

"Though I wear Western clothes, my heart remains a Central Plains heart!" Meng Yun said resolutely.

"Central Plains heart, huh? Do you think the Central Plains people even like you?" Shangguan Qing mercilessly pricked his words.

"You're Shangguan Duidui (Ms. Retort)," Meng Yun said, speechless.

"You're quite good at retorting at night too," Shangguan Qing retorted.

Meng Yun: ...

???

I can't hold back anymore, folks!

So, the question is, Meng Yun went to a parallel dimension and replaced the original Meng Yun. If something really happens with Shangguan Qing, does this count as a cuckold or not?

I cuckold myself!

"Don't look at me like that, it's not night yet." Shangguan Qing rolled her eyes at Meng Yun, but couldn't help but stick out her little tongue and lick her lips.

"..."

I regret it, folks.

Why did I let the system store the Yin Yang Harmony Art?

If we cultivated together, wouldn't we just ascend to Demon Emperor directly?

Don't ask.

If you ask, it's because the author is suppressing the power level.

Meng Yun looked at Shangguan Qing, seemingly trying to discern something unusual.

His being guided here for no reason definitely wasn't just to chat with the Demon Emperor Shangguan Qing from a parallel world.

Nor would it be to be the cheap daddy of the baby in Yuer's belly!

The scenes that had unfolded since he arrived replayed in Meng Yun's mind like a movie, over and over again.

Suddenly, Meng Yun seized a fleeting flash of inspiration.

He looked at Shangguan Qing, his gaze becoming as deep as an abyss: "Ever since returning here, you've directly referred to the Demon Seed.

As a direct subordinate of the Demon Seed, shouldn't you respectfully call it Holy God, Shangguan Qing?"

Shangguan Qing looked at Meng Yun, a flicker of surprise and relief in her eyes, followed by a hidden smile.

"Not stupid after all, much stronger than my cultivation partner Meng Yun."

"No wonder I occasionally felt a heartbreaking sadness a while ago."

"That was your spirit and soul, completely collapsing due to your death."

"That feeling could even penetrate the boundaries of time and space, reaching me in this parallel world, affecting me, a Demon Emperor."

"You knew I was an outsider all along?" Meng Yun looked at Shangguan Qing, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Of course. This is a spacetime rift that I, along with many other powerful individuals, spent countless efforts creating and successfully sent into your Blue Star world.

Only then do I have the opportunity to stand here and communicate with you face to face."

"You... does that also include...?"

"Xu Beihuang, and all the Demon Emperors under his command," Shangguan Qing said concisely.

"We are, and always will be, human."

"Can you sense my existence?" Meng Yun asked again. "Can the Demon Seed also?"

"Not entirely sure," Shangguan Qing shook her head. "I suspect only those who have personally experienced it and have strong emotional fluctuations, along with extremely strong power, can break through the spacetime barrier and cause resonance between us."

Shangguan Qing felt the intense pain of her other self in the world after that Meng Yun's death, which gave birth to this will.

"Humans will never be slaves," Shangguan Qing said firmly.

"So you're trying to tell me that even Xu Beihuang, who sided with the Demon Race, is trying to liberate humanity?"

"More than that," Shangguan Qing gently shook her head.

Then she extended a finger, transmitting a mysterious legacy entirely into Meng Yun's mind.

Meng Yun's pupils widened.

Because this was a complete cultivation technique, from ordinary demon soldiers to the Demon Emperor level!

If Meng Yun could master it, he would have a high probability of infiltrating them and breaking them from within!

"We believe that if it's you, you can do better than me, better than Xu Beihuang, better than anyone," Shangguan Qing looked at Meng Yun, her eyes firm.

"I told you, the last simulation must be taking the dark path," Meng Yun sighed helplessly.

Going dark makes you three times stronger!

"Alright, now I..."

Buzz~

Rumble!!!

The ground shook!

"What's wrong?" Meng Yun looked up at the sky.

"I'll go out and see."

Shangguan Qing flashed and disappeared from the room.
