The Demon Lord was silent for a while, then said: "Yes, but do you know why we lost?"
This is indeed a difficult problem, especially when the demons are retreating so fast.
Chen Changsheng said: "I thought about it for a long time, and finally I saw the tribal fighters outside Xuelao City, and I remembered the incident you mentioned in your letter."
The demon race is declining, and has been surpassed by the human race in all aspects within a thousand years. The main problem is that the birth rate is too low.
It takes too long for low-level demons to naturally evolve into high-level demons, and the fertility of high-level demons is very low. As time goes by, the number of demons with a vast territory is getting smaller and smaller, until it is almost impossible to get together A sufficient number of soldiers, those tribal fighters are too low in intelligence to confront the human army head-on.
The Demon Lord pointed at him and said, "Yes, you should remember that I told you the reason."
Chen Changsheng recalled a piece of history that Mojun once told in a letter.
The Demon Lord said that it was the most authentic record about this world that he only knew after he ascended the throne.
The Demon King also said that only five people, including him and the Demon University scholar, knew about it.
After that letter, Chen Changsheng became the sixth.
Chen Changsheng didn't understand why he had to tell himself, and naturally he couldn't be sure whether it was true or not.
According to the Demon Lord, countless years ago, the five continents of this world were not as isolated from each other as they are now, and could be connected at will.
The race that rules this world is the Protoss, which is now the Demon Race in Middle-Earth.
With the passage of time, the structure of the world gradually became unstable, and many changes occurred. The Kingdom of God and Nether gradually left the main continent, and finally disappeared in the endless turbulence of time, leaving only some extremely dangerous passage entrances. At this time, the Demon Lord The abyss behind him is one of them.
The disappearance of the kingdom of God and the abyss brought about many terrible changes. The main continent gradually lost its vitality and became more and more desolate. The protoss and other intelligent life who ruled the world were forced to migrate, and the main continent finally became The wasteland is called the abandoned land.
The Protoss went to the Holy Light Continent to continue their own civilization, but found that the spark of civilization in the Kingdom of God had been lost on another continent.
Those civilization fires are the Tianshu Monument, and that continent is the Middle Earth Continent.
The Protoss sent an expeditionary force to the Middle-Earth Continent from the Holy Light Continent through the Nether Passage, which was still barely passable at that time, in order to retrieve these civilization fires. No one thought that in the long period of time, the native races of Middle-earth had awakened through the fire of civilization, and began to fight against the expeditionary force of the Protoss.
Those native races are humans and demon races.
That expeditionary force is naturally the current Demon Race.
…
…
"It turns out that until today, this war has not really ended."
People who heard this story were very moved. The wrinkles on Mrs. Tang's face deepened, and General He Ming was thinking about the meaning of war.
"The war between us now has nothing to do with the ancient war."
The Demon Lord shook his head and said: "At the time when the war between the two sides was at its most intense, the Nether continued to move away, and the continents were completely cut off. Whether it was the abyss behind me or the mountain in the cloud tomb, it was difficult to get back together. Back to the Holy Light Continent, so the commander of the expeditionary force made a very difficult decision."
"The commander-in-chief is my ancestor, that is, the first generation of the demon king." The demon king made a supplementary explanation, and then continued: "He ended that war, reached a temporary settlement with the human race and the demon race, and burned the Everything related to the Holy Light Continent. Then start to build your own city on this continent, which is your home.”
Xu Yourong hugged the little Taoist priest, and the Demon Lord hadn't spoken since he appeared, at this moment he suddenly said: "A wise and timely decision."
The Demon Lord looked at her with a slight smile, and said, "That's right, our family has survived in Middle-earth Continent in this way. The subsequent Demon Lords and those great scholars have continued the practice of their ancestors, using strict laws, and eventually Successfully erased all memories related to the Holy Light Continent, turning this place into our hometown."
Mrs. Tang said with emotion: "Time has great power."
The Demon Lord said: "Unfortunately, a serious problem still appeared in the end. Those Demon Lords and scholars discovered that in an environment lacking holy light, our family's fertility declined very seriously. He has determined that this is irreversible degeneration."
The topic returned to the focus of the initial discussion, why the demons lost this war.
The Demon Lord mentioned this matter cryptically in his letter, and Chen Changsheng didn't understand why he mentioned it, let alone the other aspect.
General He Ming, Xiao Zhang and others did not understand either.
Declining or degenerating fertility will inevitably bring about the threat of genocide. When encountering such a thing, what the demons have to do is of course to find a way to reopen the passage and return to the Holy Light Continent. Never thought about it
Chen Changsheng asked: "What is it about the Holy Light Continent that scares you so much? Would you rather watch the demons decline than go back?"
"God."
The Demon Lord stared into Chen Changsheng's eyes and said, "If the passage between here and the Holy Light Continent is reopened, we will all become servants of the gods."
…
…
At the beginning, people were surprised to find that Chen Changsheng and the Demon Lord seemed very familiar, and Old Mrs. Tang's eyes became a little dark.
No one believed that Chen Changsheng would collude with the demons, but they still found it very strange, or weird.
But soon people were attracted by the content of the conversation between Chen Changsheng and the devil.
Shocking ancient legends, the historical truth hidden behind the shady scenes, it turns out that the demons are actually an expeditionary force from the Holy Light Continent!
But what is a god? The only definite objective will that those ignorant women and children will believe in
There are no gods in Middle-earth, and the national religion believes in the Dao, not the real objective existence.
The gods that people say are just fictitious images in legends, or projections of pure spirits.
The Kingdom of God is above the sea of stars, the destination of all souls, it is just a symbol.
And there are really gods in the Holy Light Continent
After listening to the demon king, the people were silent for a long time, and even Xiao Zhang didn't speak.
"Isn't there no kingdom of God?"
No one thought that it was the little Taoist priest who broke the silence.
He lay in Xu Yourong's arms, hugged her neck, opened his bright eyes, and looked at Mo Jun curiously.
At some point, he got rid of his fear and sadness and listened to this story very completely.
The Demon Lord did not answer this question, because he had no answer either.
The description of the gods and the indescribable are all texts that he can only read after he ascends the throne.
From his silence, it can be seen what kind of impact those words had on his spiritual world.
Xiao Zhang finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Is the god so powerful?"
"The two battle angels who descended on Baidi City ten years ago are just servants of the gods."
The Demon Lord was silent for a while, and said, "We used to be too."
The us in this sentence refers to the royal family in Xuelao City.
Xiao Zhang froze for a moment, and said, "It's pretty miserable."
The human race and demon race who got the Tianshu Mausoleum and the fire seeds were called fire stealers by the Holy Light Continent.
The first generation of demon kings are called fallen angels.
When he was in the Holy Light Continent, he was originally an angel and the leader of the angel legion.
The so-called degeneration is because he was tempted by the devil and refused to return to the embrace of the gods.
That devil's name is Liberty.
No one wants to be a servant, not even a servant of a god.
That's why the first generation of Demon Lords resolutely stayed here.
Therefore, none of the demon kings and Tunguska scholars in the past were willing to return to the Holy Light Continent.
"I can understand that feeling."
Chen Changsheng said: "After getting rid of the shadow of death, I feel that the whole world seems to be lighter."
The Demon Lord said: "Compared with death, that is a more essential freedom."
Chen Changsheng said: "Compared with the answer, why this question is asked is more important."
This past incident was derived from the question of the Demon Lord.
—Why did the Demon Race lose to the Human Race
What is the intention of the Demon Lord in raising this question
"I haven't finished talking yet. There is another important reason for our family's failure... that is, the military division wants us to fail."
The Mojun's face became a little pale, but his lips became brighter red, as if he had just applied rouge.
"All the arrangements in this war were personally arranged by him, and then he wants us to fail, so how can we be undefeated?"
There were several exclamations in the magic palace.
Heipao is a military strategist of the demons, holding great power, and most importantly, the strategy and even the specific tactics of the demons are all arranged by him.
If what the demon king said is true, the black robe wants the demons to fail, and the demons really have no reason to be invincible.
The question is why did the black robe do this
No one believes the story of remorse and emotion, and there must be some reason behind it.
