I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 1586 - 1590: Have You Ever Thought About Redeeming Yourself?

"How many of you are there?" Zhang Menglong continued to ask.

"A lot," the Demon General replied, "We dispatched 108 Demon Emperors, tens of thousands of Demon Generals, and countless Demon Soldiers. In the Cang Yuan Era, the world of you humans should have belonged to us."

"What are Demon Emperors, Demon Generals, and Demon Soldiers?"

"We don't have as many classifications as you humans do. Demon Soldiers are roughly equivalent to your humans between sub-perfect and Level Eight perfect life forms. Demon Generals are equivalent to your level nine perfect life forms. As for the Demon Emperors, they are at a realm that no one in your world can ever reach!"

[Dean, it sounds like even if the Demon Emperor isn't a Super Life Form, it's at least at the pinnacle of a perfect life form.]

"Oh, just a Super Life Form," Zhang Menglong thought. His family had already reached the rank of Ultimate Lifeforms, which probably surpassed these Super Life Forms, so there was nothing to fear.

"You humans are quite weak," the Demon General continued, "In the Cang Yuan Era, the most powerful among you humans was only comparable to the weaker among our Demon Emperors. Even with just our Demon Generals, we could sweep over your entire human race."

"And the humans of your era are even weaker than those of the Cang Yuan Era. It's truly laughable."

"Crackling!" Flames began to roar again, and the Demon General let out a scream, realizing that what he just said might not be fitting for his current status.

"I'm warning you, you're a captive now. Think carefully about the attitude you should use when you speak," Zhang Menglong said.

"And then?" Zhang Menglong crossed his legs, "You say your Demon Clan is so mighty, so how come you're sealed here now? Blowing hot air?"

"Humans should have been extinct long ago, but there was a very special being among you humans after all."

"The Human Emperor!" Huzi, who was standing behind Zhang Menglong, spoke.

"The Human Emperor? Is his name Sky?" Zhang Menglong blurted out.

"We don't know what the Human Emperor's name was, but he was the first of us to begin touching the bottleneck above perfect life forms. Although he failed, at the time, he was undoubtedly the most powerful individual," Huzi said with admiration in his voice when he mentioned the Human Emperor.

"That guy, called the Human Emperor, led the entire human race in a long-standing war against us, but it was useless. Just one of our Demon Emperors could hold him back. If it weren't for our dispersed power, he would have been dead long ago."

"However, through a strategy of divide and conquer, they did manage to achieve some victories. I was injured in one such battle," the Demon General said, "But they couldn't kill me—at most, they used this method to seal me, which actually spared me."

"Spare you?"

"The Human Emperor was a madman," the Demon General said, "During the Cang Yuan Era, the World Force of this world was crazy too. The World Force actually chose to sacrifice itself, lending all its power to the Human Emperor. Although his Life Level didn't break through, he could single-handedly take on several Demon Emperors."

"There must have been a cost to that, right?"

"Of course there was a cost," the Demon General said, "Even if he drove us out, the World Force was gone. It would reset this world to its most primordial state, and life would hatch from an uninhabited world again."

"Due to the lack of the world's power source, the potential of the people in your world greatly diminished. It essentially ruined your future."

"What about the Human Emperor?"

"He was indeed remarkable. In the last battle, when surrounded by 108 Demon Emperors, he chose to self-detonate. All Demon Soldiers were completely obliterated. His sacrifice sealed all the Demon Emperors and severely wounded the rest of us Demon Generals."

"But they also understood that this world couldn't last long. To ensure the stable development of the next cycle of humans, they invested everything they had in the future. At that time, we had over 70,000 Demon Generals left, all of whom were sealed."

"So this is the truth of the Cang Yuan Era's disappearance!" Rubis listened to this segment of history in awe, and couldn't help but admire those predecessors.

After completing everything for future generations, they quietly waited for the world to wither and vanished along with the Cang Yuan Era. Only a few very special cases managed to survive in peculiar ways.

But the power of the seal is not infinite. With time and energy depletion, all seals will completely disappear one day, and that day is not far off. The appearance of this Demon General is just the beginning of an omen.

Soon enough, more Demon Generals, and even Demon Emperors, will appear in the entire Main World.

The current Main World lacks astounding figures like the Human Emperor, and the World Force isn't as powerful as it was in the Cang Yuan Era. Even if reenacted, it might not be possible to seal them all again.

Furthermore, humans nowadays are far less united than before.

According to Huzi's memory, the Human Emperor once established a Human Emperor Hall, the most powerful force in the entire Main World. Though there were various factions, they all submitted to this Human Emperor Hall.

Now, countless small and large factions exist in the Main World, many of equal strength, resistant to each other, lacking the basis to unite against this Demon Clan.

Zhang Menglong could almost foresee that years later, when the second Demon General emerges, it would indeed resemble an apocalypse.

"Human, you can seal me, but can you seal all of our Demon Clan again?" the Demon General began to boast again, "I advise you to release me, then assist me in hastening the awakening of the Demon Clan. Perhaps, when we conquer this world, we'll give you a small place to survive."

"Slap!"

"Ah~~"

Zhang Menglong ignored the Demon General's painful cries in the flames.

Indeed, he was just one person, unable to seal so many Demon Warriors, nor did he know where they were sealed.

"In this situation, the only solution might be to unite all humans once again," Zhang Menglong muttered to himself, "As long as everyone cooperates wholeheartedly, we can quickly find most of the seals and at least have a warning."

"But who has that capability now?" Drake said, "There's no Human Emperor anymore."

"We can create a Human Emperor," Zhang Menglong responded, "Drake, have you ever thought about redemption?"
