God is supreme.
Although the little demon had never encountered gods, in her heart, those who stood high above were either hypocritical in their morals or cold and heartless.
They might all be without emotion.
How could they, standing in the clouds, truly feel the pain of the mortal world?
Even the Demon God—
Standing in the Sea of Consciousness, the little demon pursed her lips, not daring to think further.
She truly respected the Demon God from the bottom of her heart. It was his appearance that allowed the bullied Demon Race to have a place in this vast cave.
She respected the Demon God.
But if Chen Yu were truly favored by the Demon God and stood behind him to shield him from wind and rain, perhaps she would choose to leave Chen Yu in the future.
Perhaps, her actions were quite perplexing.
Clearly, with Chen Yu having the Demon God behind him, she would be relying on the mighty 'God,' and with the strong revolutionary friendship established with Chen Yu from the early stages, her future prospects would be immeasurable, perhaps even surpassing her most glorious past.
God!
That was a God.
The Elton family, with the support of the Tatou royal family, had become an unparalleled commercial powerhouse in the kingdom, a family admired by countless people.
If Chen Yu were supported by a God, it would be as if he could roam freely within the cave.
The Empire!?
It was likely that all four seas would submit to him.
How dazzling that would be.
Even standing in this void of the Sea of Consciousness, the little demon, as a soul, seemed to see a brilliant light waving at her from afar.
Alas, it did not belong to her.
She had never told Chen Yu, though she guessed that with Chen Yu's intelligence, he could probably figure it out – she still harbored hatred in her heart.
The Holy Church had destroyed her Demon King’s Fortress.
They had slaughtered billions of her people.
Those scenes, painted with blood, still lingered before her eyes to this day.
Time could dilute many things.
Only hatred, with the passage of time, would only intensify.
She simply couldn't let go.
A thousand years of waiting had brought her to Chen Yu. She had witnessed everything he had done and, in him, saw a glimmer of hope.
The hope of revenge!
In fact, she had encountered many people during these thousand years.
In the early stages, although not as joyful as her interactions with Chen Yu, she had indeed provided those individuals with corresponding early-stage development resources.
Sona was also one of them!
Unfortunately, none of them had seen it through to the end with her.
Some had unfortunately perished.
Others parted ways with them when they realized they could no longer extract value from the little demon and Sona, or they cursed them and left upon learning of their long-cherished wish.
They paid them no mind and continued to wait.
When they encountered Chen Yu, they didn't even know if he was the hundredth or a thousandth. Their hearts had grown numb, yet they continued to perform their duties.
Even when they knew Chen Yu was an outsider,
They had exchanged bitter smiles,
Sighing that perhaps another period of time would be wasted.
To their great surprise, Chen Yu, the outsider, seemed somewhat special. Even they, who had grown numb, were somewhat influenced by Chen Yu. As their contact time grew longer, and until the moment Chen Yu obtained 'Summoning,' she decided to stop hesitating.
She would use everything she had to support him.
She admitted, there was a selfish motive.
Chen Yu himself was likely well aware of this, and he had mentioned to her several times that he would assist her in fulfilling her long-cherished wish in the future.
Chen Yu was a very mature person who understood how to read people.
He could tell.
Thus, the little demon had never mentioned this matter. She didn't consider it concealment, but rather a tacit understanding between her and Chen Yu.
There was a term called—sunk cost.
The little demon had poured everything into him; this cost could be considered extremely high. Even under such circumstances, if she were certain that the Demon God was behind Chen Yu and that he prioritized God, she would still abandon him.
Without the slightest hesitation!
It was simple.
As she had thought at the very beginning, Gods were emotionless.
Any decision or action they made was from a global perspective. In their eyes, all beings were pawns in their hands, as insignificant as blades of grass.
They would never allow anyone to disrupt their perfect game.
In that case, Chen Yu's future actions would be greatly restricted, and the little demon's revenge might no longer be a priority. Then, what would be the point of her following Chen Yu?
Standing at the pinnacle of the cave, overlooking all beings?
Forgetting those expectant eyes, and forgetting those hysterical cries of 'Lord,' 'Your Majesty,' and that 'Sister'?
Like the lofty Gods, observing all living things with coldness. Reading books.
Without a trace of emotion.
As if looking at humble weeds.
Absolutely impossible!
She had survived to this day, enduring the wails of billions of souls, all for the chance to personally take revenge on her enemies.
She didn't want wealth or glory, nor did she desire power.
What she wanted was revenge!
With the heads of her enemies, she would honor the deep-seated hatred of her Demon King’s Fortress—its thirteen cities, sixty-seven towns, and three hundred forty-two provinces—and bring peace to all the departed.
She wanted to liberate their souls.
Even if she were to be annihilated in the end, she would do so willingly.
Therefore, she didn't believe it!
She didn't believe that the 'Demon God' stood behind Chen Yu. Perhaps he was indeed supported by some unknown force in the cave, but she absolutely did not believe it would be the 'Demon God.'
If it were truly the Demon God, Chen Yu's actions would not be so unrestrained and willful.
Undeniably,
There was also a part of the little demon that was unwilling to believe all this.
She had invested too much in Chen Yu. If, in the end, he couldn't walk alongside her, the blow would be too heavy.
She found it difficult to accept.
"What, can't explain it?" Seeing the little demon in the Sea of Consciousness remained silent for a long time, Chen Yu chuckled and whispered in his heart, "Scared?"
"Scared?!"
The little demon tilted her head slightly and scoffed.
"I fear neither heaven nor earth, how could I fear you, a braggart? Talent is not uncommon in the cave; there are still a hundred or eighty like you to be found. As for your blueprints, they weren't given to you by me and Iliya, and your 'Summoning' was also due to luck. What are you acting so proud about? And claiming the Demon God is behind you, you're truly not afraid of being struck by lightning for such a tall tale. Even if a God truly stood behind you, would you dare to say it? Would a God allow you to say it? Hmph~"
"Whoa, you actually didn't fall for my bluff!"
Chen Yu exclaimed in surprise, "You've grown a brain, little demon. No wonder you said your head itched a few days ago. It seems your newly grown brain is quite sharp."
"Get lost!"
The little demon in the Sea of Consciousness cursed angrily.
"Just wait, Lord Demon God will punish you."
"Don't be so malicious. Ignorance is forgivable. Lord Demon God will surely be understanding of this humble commoner," Chen Yu said with a smile. At this moment, a figure approached outside the campfire and bowed respectfully to Chen Yu.
"Mr. Chen, Commander Liuyue has asked me to inform you to prepare for departure."
