Chapter 56 Agares’s retreat!
Bai Yue and Leng Xiao had already burst into tears.

A Bao stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Bai Chen, saying in a deep voice: “Now that my father is gone, it will take some time to completely control the demon clan. Now that my father’s deterrence is gone, many of the demon clan members suffered heavy losses in this holy war, and there are also some bad voices within the clan.”

What Abao said was still too euphemistic.

In fact, Bai Chen and A Bao both knew that this holy war was initiated by Bai Chen, but the demons lost nearly 60% of their population.

Although nearly 90% of them are low-level demons, these low-level demons are also the main labor force in most demon territories.

Now that all of this labor force has been lost, human slaves alone are no longer enough to satisfy the pleasures of these demons and their personal guards.

Even in some demon territories, high-level demons who used to enjoy a good life now need to fend for themselves and even serve their vassal demons.

All of this was caused by the holy war initiated by Bai Chen, but Bai Chen was the prince of the demon clan and had the protection of the Demon King. Even if they had the ability to rebel against Bai Chen, they did not have the ability to do so. What was more important was that the Black Dragon Guards were an insurmountable gap.

Therefore, even if the demon gods and high-level demons have objections, they have to bow down in the face of absolute strength.

But now?

The Demon Emperor Feng Xiu announced his departure in front of the entire continent and passed the throne of the Demon Emperor to Bai Chen.

Without the absolute deterrent power of the Demon King, those demons with “special” ideas are ready to move again.

After all, they are also afraid of death. Bai Chen and Feng Xiu have killed countless people in their efforts to eliminate Demon God’s Fall and Ao Shi Jiu Tian. No one knows if they will be the next.

Bai Chen looked at A Bao and said with a smile, “Bad voices? Have those clowns forgotten that it is not them who represent the demon clan, but our Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon clan!”

“Hiss! Big brother, I’m grateful for your advice!” A Bao took a deep breath. Bai Chen’s words were clearly filled with murderous intent.

Po’s intuition told him that the demon clan was about to undergo a major change!
“Agares.” Bai Chen’s aura of a superior who was intimidating but still irritating was revealed so naturally that even Agares was briefly dazed.

Agares immediately came out in front of Bai Chen, knelt on one knee and said: “Your Majesty!”

At this moment, Agares did not hesitate at all and directly called Bai Chen “Your Majesty”!

As a veteran-level demon god and the second brother of Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu, he naturally knew how to help Bai Chen quickly consolidate his position.

More importantly, he needs to fight for the future of his people again.

Agares will always remember the last advice Feng Xiu gave him before leaving:

“Bai Chen is different from me. In comparison, he is more suitable for the position of Demon King. You may understand it soon. I advise you to make a decision early.”

After Bai Chen scanned all the demon gods present, he said in a cold voice, “Pass on my order. Ten days later, the Demon King Palace will hold a succession ceremony. All living demon gods must bring their demon pillars. The heirs of the dead must bring their demon pillars. If there is no heir, A-Bao must bring the demon pillars himself.”

“In addition, all low-level demons from all races are dispersed to the six checkpoints of the Temple Alliance to fight to the death.”

Agares’ pupils shrank after hearing this. He seemed to guess what Bai Chen was going to do. Looking at the temperament exuding from Bai Chen at this moment, he actually felt a sense of pressure as if Feng Xiu was standing in front of him.

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

“Let’s set off back to the Demon Emperor’s Palace!”

At Bai Chen’s command, several demon kings instantly transformed into black dragons and flew towards the demon clan’s heart city with Bai Chen and his four siblings.

“Congratulations to His Majesty the Demon God Emperor!”

Agares and Vashak looked at each other, then immediately bowed and shouted in the direction Bai Chen left.

The remaining demon gods also bowed and saw him off. Everyone had a bad feeling in their hearts and began to make plans.

Agares and Vashago flew side by side towards the Heart City.

“Third brother, did you predict that my eldest brother would leave?” Agares asked. Vashak nodded, with a hint of smile on his pale face, and looked at Agares and said:

“I predicted today’s scene a year ago.”

Looking at Vashak’s smile, Agares immediately guessed that Vashak definitely did not just predict today’s scene, but probably also predicted the trajectory of Bai Chen after he succeeded to the throne.

“Third brother, now that our eldest brother has left, we must assist our nephew Bai Chen and let the demon race enter a new era of prosperity under his leadership.” Agares said meaningfully.

Vashak waved his hand and shook his head, “Alright, brother. I know what you want to hear. There’s no need to beat around the bush about our relationship.”

Agares, who was directly exposed, smiled awkwardly. He didn’t expect that Vashak, who was always scheming, would be so frank today.

“Even if we don’t intervene, the future of the Holy Demon Continent is destined to revolve around Bai Chen alone, but this is not the point. The point is that I saw a way out in the prophecy.”

“What road?” Agares could hear that Vashak’s tone became heavier when he mentioned that road.

“This is the road we have longed for!” Vashak said in a deep voice.

“W-what did you say?!”

Agares’ pupils shrank sharply, and his first reaction was that he had heard it wrong.

But Vashak’s eyes couldn’t deceive him!
If there is any path that both Agares and Vashak desire, it must be to break free from the shackles of the fate of the demons and find the road to heaven that they want!

“Third brother, what should we do?” Agares asked in a deep voice.

Now that Feng Xiu is gone and Bai Chen has succeeded to the throne of the Demon King, the demon clan will definitely undergo a major change. He is not sure whether Bai Chen will announce his divorce from his daughter.

Before, Feng Xiu was concerned about his own face, and he kept dragging it out to save face for Agares.

He was worrying about his way out, and Vashago’s timely message came.

Vashak looked at Agares and said meaningfully: “We just need to…”

Agares widened his eyes and asked in disbelief: “Is that all?”

“Brother, this is the destiny I spent half my life to get, what do you think?” Vashak said unhappily.

“Hahaha, good brother, let’s go back and have a drink!” Agares put his arm around Vashak’s shoulder and smiled awkwardly.

“Isn’t it time to take out the wine that has been hidden for more than ten years?”

“necessary!”

Vashak smiled with satisfaction. In fact, the prophetic trajectory he saw was that they didn’t have to do anything, Bai Chen would give that path to them, and not just them.

Agares probably didn’t expect that his good brother Vassago was still the scheming Vassago.

The reason why Vashak plotted against Agares was not just to trick Agares into having a drink.

When he predicted that Feng Xiu was going to leave, he used his entire lifespan as a means to change his own destiny to Bai Chen’s, earning himself a way to ascend to heaven.

Now he only has a few short years left to live, but as long as he follows Bai Chen on that path, he will be able to reach great heights in one step!
However, on this road, one needs someone to be his protector.

This person is none other than Agares!
