World-Ending Demon Emperor-Chapter 2026 - 936: The Final Confrontation with Lan SiSi!

In almost an instant, it felt as if Lanling’s mind exploded!

Then, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.

This must be the greatest humiliation in the world, even more hateful than when Zhi Yan pierced Lanling’s chest with a sword.

What is Lanling’s greatest mission in life?

To resist destiny, to control his own destiny! To never become a pawn!

However, the Dragon Temple has repeatedly turned him into a pawn.

"Yes, a pawn!" Lan Sisi said: "The Dragon Temple hails the Master of Yao Xing and the World-Ending Demon Emperor as higher than the heavens. When the Master of Yao Xing descends to the world, it seems like the sky is about to collapse. Yet, in the heart of the Dragon Temple, the Master of Yao Xing is nothing but a clown-like tool, merely a means for the upper echelons of the Dragon Temple to madly gain credit. The Dragon Temple has ruled this world for far too long, peace has lasted too long, and supreme power has been held too long. With no invincible match left, only internal conflict remains. Therefore, the Dragon Temple desperately needs an enemy, without enemies, how can they gain credit, and how can some people desperately grasp for power?"

Lanling recalled a tremendously powerful empire on Earth, feeling unbearably lonely and dull after its greatest foe collapsed. Without enemies, it creates enemies, then topples them, and a group of people make fortunes.

And Lanling, he became a tool for the upper echelons of the Dragon Temple to crazily gain credit.

By killing Suo Lun in the Human Kingdom, he gained a large amount of merit, allowing Ning Wuya to rise, along with the ascension of Fu Lingxi.

Yet even that merit wasn’t enough, so they nurtured Lanling again, making him incredibly powerful as if he became the leader of the Demon Race. Then they strike again to reap more credit, so Ning Wuya could become the first leader of the Dragon Temple.

Lanling thought of Li Chengliang of the Ming Dynasty, the true local emperor of Liaodong, who nurtured the Jianzhou Jurchen like a fat pig to keep his family’s control over military and political power in Liaodong. Fat enough to be slaughtered, but not truly exterminated. Even Nurhaci became his godson, and Nurhaci’s mother became his plaything.

In the end, of course, he failed tragically.

The Jianzhou Jurchen grew into the powerful Manchu, established the Later Jin Empire, and ultimately moved south to destroy the entire Chinese civilization, establishing the Qing Empire.

Suddenly, Lanling was no longer angry!

There truly is nothing new under the sun; clever people are foolish, this saying will forever remain true.

...

All the humiliation, all the anger disappeared!

Lanling laughed, "It reminds me of a very developed modern civilization where the nobility enjoy confining tigers and lions, such ferocious birds of prey. Hunting them isn’t worth showing off; confining them is. Just like some powerful empires, destroying their own empire isn’t worth boasting about; worth boasting is making them their dogs."

"Yes, you, the Master of Yao Xing, the World-Ending Demon Emperor, are the fierce beast the Dragon Temple wants to confine." Lan Sisi said.

Lanling said, "By confining me, the Master of Yao Xing, it can prove the civil and martial prowess of some big figures in the Dragon Temple, allowing them to gain great power."

"Yes, they let you go last time, and once again set you free, letting you grow strong again." Lan Sisi said: "And you grew even faster than anyone anticipated. In just six or seven years, you unified the entire Southern Barbaric Lands, becoming the master of the entire Demon Race."

Lanling said, "Now my meat is thick enough, weighty enough, so it’s time for harvest."

Lan Sisi said, "Yes, it is time for harvest. Of course, you, this fierce beast, are too strong, too unusual, so it needs to be bridled before putting on reins, just like a cow needs a rope through its nose, some fierce beasts need shackles on their most vulnerable places, making them easier to control, making them obedient."

Lanling said, "That’s why they sent you to plant a Black Hole Vortex inside me."

"Yes." Lan Sisi said, "Only then will you obey, only then will you be confined. Yao Xing is too strong, it’s simply impossible to kill. So they had to resort to the ultimate weapon, the Black Hole Vortex, as it alone can destroy Yao Xing."

Lanling said, "Then I am very curious, why do you obey? Why are you confined?"

Lan Sisi said, "There’s no choice; the wise recognize the times."

Lanling said, "You once said an enigma found you, asking you to pledge allegiance to me, the Demon Emperor. Regarding that past, did you lie?"

"No, I didn’t lie." Lan Sisi said, "Our Demon Dragon Clan is incredibly powerful, so someone was bound to find us. That enigma is someone loyal to you; it should be the scribe of the Hell Knights, responsible for the reincarnation and legacy of the Hell Knights. It indeed found me, persuading me to pledge allegiance to the Master of Yao Xing who hadn’t yet descended."

"But you refused?" Lanling asked.

Lan Sisi said, "I didn’t refuse; I just ultimately chose the Dragon Temple because I need to stand on the side of the victors, so our Demon Dragon Clan has a place."

"A place?" Lanling questioned.

Lan Sisi said, "Now our Demon Dragon Clan has become a very powerful yet secretive force within the Dragon Temple. Emperor Lanling, I must admit our Demon Dragon Clan’s bloodline is closer to the Demon Race, but regrettably, we cannot stand on the side of the losers."
