I Can Grant Origin Powers To Anything-Chapter 813 - 617: I Didn’t Cultivate for a Thousand Years Just to Eat Plants

In fact, not only Xu Lingjun, but even those of the Demon clan were quite taken aback.

They looked at the Celestial Lizard with some surprise.

It must be noted that the lifespan of the Celestial Lizard is considered long among the Demon clan, and his status among the Thirteen Elders is not much lower than that of Sword Wind.

Especially since he is one of the only two in the entire Demon Beast race who possesses the innate ability to transform, making him even more precious.

Yet now, such a powerful and high-status member of the Demon clan has submitted to another elder who is at most his equal...

And judging from his tone, it was clear that he had unwavering faith in him.

"That's right, did you think His Majesty Jianfeng, like you, spent all these hundreds of years wandering aimlessly through the cosmos?"

The Celestial Lizard said: "In fact, not long after Jianfeng left Blue Star, he had a mystical encounter. Relying on that event, he conquered a civilization, and over these hundreds of years, he fully claimed that civilization as his own, then invited us to co-govern it. His original intent was to create a new homeland for us Demon Gods there. Back then, we even invited you!"

Xuan Gui was thoughtful.

Indeed...

Not long after leaving Blue Star, they all received an invitation from Jianfeng, saying that he had found a new homeland suitable for Blue Star's survival, inviting them to come and build a home together with him.

But they acted as if they hadn't heard the invitation.

Firstly, Jianfeng was too overbearing; when they were of the same clan, they had no choice but to submit to him.

But now, having finally separated... with the cosmos so vast, it's merely a matter of eating well or poorly, but surely they wouldn't starve to death?

Therefore, they had no reason to endure Jianfeng's temper any longer.

One must know that creatures like Yun He and Xuan Gui are herbivores. Although they might eat meat after transformation, their main diet is still plants. Naturally, they are inherently incompatible with Jianfeng, who has been a carnivore since childhood.

But unexpectedly, Jianfeng truly gathered a group of rather powerful Demon clan members.

"Initially, we were living quite peacefully, but we suddenly received a message from Xiong Zhen saying that Blue Star still holds life. Although the Spirit Realm we have forged is not much inferior to Blue Star now, Blue Star remains our home. Since it still exists, one day, we are bound to reclaim it."

The Celestial Lizard's gaze swept over the Demon clan, with a tone filled with both disappointment and frustration at their lack of progress.

He said, "But Your Majesty had not yet made a move, and you laggards were already impatient to cling to a new master's thigh. Why... are you so eager to become enemies with His Majesty Jianfeng? Would you rather bow low to a strange race than submit to His Majesty Jianfeng?"

Xu Lingjun, pondering, asked, "So you were lurking here because you received a message from Lan Ling?"

"Exactly, although she encrypted the communication method, this method was originally created by His Majesty Jianfeng, so he could easily intercept these messages."

The Celestial Lizard sneered, "In fact, even initially, Xiong Zhen didn't intend to notify His Majesty Jianfeng. It was just that he didn't expect that when leaving Blue Star, His Majesty had already formulated another plan. All communications of the Demon Gods were being intercepted by His Majesty."

He clearly did not agree with the notion of the so-called Demon clan; in his view, they are Demon Gods!

Just from the name alone, they were already far above the Demon clan.

"I see."

Xu Lingjun realized. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

If that's truly the case, then Sword Wind's mind is indeed extremely calculating... having thought of intercepting all clan communications hundreds of years ago and managed to do so without anyone noticing.

This cunning and skill are indeed top-notch.

"So even if you have decided to stand opposed to His Majesty, He still bears no killing intent against you. Even though Yun He was planning to join you, after capturing him, we merely detained him to prevent him from thwarting our plans."

The Celestial Lizard's voice softened slightly, sighing, "In fact, our initial intention was only to thwart your plan to seek refuge on Blue Star, never intending to harm you. Otherwise, I could have easily slain you all during these past few months. Given the element of surprise, the chances of success were not low."

"So, the remaining fourteen members of the Demon clan are innocent? And only you harbour malicious intent?"

Xu Lingjun's gaze swept over the remaining fourteen members of the Demon clan...

Although the Celestial Lizard said so much, Xu Lingjun didn't entirely believe him.

Xuan Gui had mentioned earlier that within the Demon clan, there are two individuals with the ability to transform.

Who knows if the other one is hiding among them... one could hardly imagine so much intrigue among the Demon clan.

"On this matter, I can assure you."

Xuan Gui smiled wryly, "In our Demon clan, there is also Cloud Dance who has the ability to transform, but her temper is mild and she shouldn't do such things... but... but over hundreds of years, who knows if she might change? Just like Jianfeng, who could have known that in just a few hundred years, his mind would deepen to such an extent."

Xu Lingjun frowned and glanced at Xiaoya.

On Xiaoya's side, she immediately made a remote contact with Lu Ye.
