The capital!

A sense of powerlessness and anxiety lingered in the heart of the Lawful Good demigod. Should he abandon the capital or the Sea King?

Choosing to assist the Sea King would mean the destruction of the capital, the center of power, which would be reduced to ashes. Even with the demigods from the Taiyi Sect and the families of Life and the Scholar stepping forward, the capital would still be a battlefield.

The battlefield of demigods would still bring devastation to the people.

Shura did not directly attack but gave a choice. It wasn't out of kindness but a deep understanding of the essence of leaving a way out.

If he really attacked, the five alliance leaders wouldn't hesitate. They would quickly formulate a plan to minimize the losses.

Caught in a dilemma, the grand and ethereal voice of the Taiyi Sect Leader entered the Lawful Good demigod's ears:

"Give me the core fragment of the Light Compass. The Sun controls the Merit List. As long as we can leverage the power of the Sun, we can restore the Merit List to its place. This is the only way to break the current situation."

Restore the Merit List? The five alliance leaders' spirits lifted, as if seeing a glimmer of hope in the gloom.

Yes, as long as the Merit List is restored, this calamity can be quelled. They wouldn't even need to rescue the Sea King because the merit value restricts everyone, including demigods.

The predicament in New Covenant County would resolve itself.

Thinking this, the five alliance leaders simultaneously turned their gazes to the figure in the burgundy suit.

Back then, this president and the former marshal led the four peak sovereigns of the Xiaoyao Organization, like a strong dark horse, to seize the most core fragment in the demigod-level melee.

Mr. President remained silent.

"What are you waiting for?" Jiang Bangzhu in the distance urged in a muffled voice, his tone extremely impatient: "Weren't you in a hurry just now?"

Mr. President sighed: "I can't give it. I can't give any of it. The core fragment of the Light Compass has been mortgaged to the Myriad Worlds Mall. The date hasn't arrived, so I can't redeem it."

"Damn it! You always screw up at critical moments. You're only good at escaping." Jiang Bangzhu always spoke his mind.

After a few seconds of silence, the Taiyi Sect Leader's voice sounded again:

"Immediately collect the Compass fragments, at least six pieces. I can use the Star Lord's status to communicate with the Sun. Hurry up and do it."

The president frowned. The light in his eyes under the mask flickered for a while, and finally, he sighed and disappeared.

He was the only demigod with extremely high mobility, so he naturally took on the role of errand runner.

"Wake up, wake up..."

The call was calm but had a strange power that gradually revived Zhang Yuanqing's sleeping consciousness.

Who is calling me? His eyelashes trembled, and he tried his best to open his eyes. His vision was completely dark. The power of the night completely enveloped the temple. The sealing power contained within made Zhang Yuanqing lose the characteristics of a Night Wanderer and become like an ordinary person.

"Awake?"

The voice came again, from the left.

Zhang Yuanqing twisted his head and looked in the direction of the sound. A few meters to his left, there was a figure emitting golden light squatting.

The person seemed to be composed of light, with only a human-shaped outline. He couldn't see the details of his facial features or clothes.

"Who are you?" Zhang Yuanqing asked instinctively. His consciousness was like waking up from a hangover, muddled and not completely awake.

"I'm here to help you cheat," the golden figure said with a smile:

"The Sleeping Dragon Marquis knew the script in advance and could collect artifacts without injury. The NPCs in the dungeon were also bought by the other side. Tsk, tsk, these days, how can you play without cheating?"

Zhang Yuanqing groaned and tried to sit up, but couldn't find his "body", like a paralyzed patient who had lost control of his body.

It was quiet all around, without any sound, making him wonder if he was hallucinating.

Perhaps in reality, he had been killed by the Sleeping Dragon Marquis. The current situation was a lingering fantasy after death.

Thinking this, Zhang Yuanqing's desire to survive plummeted. He lost interest in communicating and closed his eyes again.

"Don't give up on yourself. The Sleeping Curse can not only seal power but also imprison will. The more you don't want to resist, the stronger the power of the curse. I can only awaken a trace of your sanity. If you fall asleep again, I can't save you." The light golden figure's tone was calm and composed:

"A true powerhouse is immortal, like me."

Zhang Yuanqing's eyelashes trembled, and he opened his eyes again: "So, you're not my imagination? Who are you!"

"We dealt with each other not long ago, on the night of hunting the Black Impermanence. Heh, have you forgotten me so quickly?" he said.

!!! Zhang Yuanqing's lazy and tired consciousness was like being pierced by a steel needle, bringing a shuddering sense of horror. He was completely awake. Even the Night God couldn't make him sleep.

"Who the hell are you?!" Zhang Yuanqing widened his eyes, his voice trembling with obvious fear.

The light golden figure said word by word: "I am the Demon Lord!" Boom!

It was as if thunder had exploded in his ears. Zhang Yuanqing's mind went blank, losing the ability to think. The surging emotions almost drowned him, destroying his reason.

He didn't know how long it had passed, but his voice trembled, his tone excited:

"Impossible, impossible you are the Demon Lord, then what about me? If you're not dead, why would I inherit the character card?"

Now he was no longer a newbie and knew a rule: only death could strip a character card.

Even demigods couldn't violate or change this rule.

If the Demon Lord wasn't dead, how could his character card be inherited by him? The light golden figure sighed:

"The Demon Lord's body and soul have been annihilated. Strictly speaking, I am not him. I am the embodiment of his obsession after death. The strong emotions of anger, unwillingness, pain, and hatred towards the high-ranking people contain powerful mental strength, so I was born."

Obsession? Zhang Yuanqing's mind was in a mess, and countless questions flashed through his mind. Finally, thousands of words converged into one sentence:

"What do you want to do!"

This question was both about his purpose of snatching the "Little Sun", and his purpose of appearing here, and even more about what he wanted to do to "Yuanshi Tianzun".

"Of course, it's revenge!" the light golden figure said with a smile:

"You should have realized that the Demon Lord's death wasn't simple. There was a deep inside story. You can never imagine who participated in this battle. If that list were to be announced, it would plunge the entire world into turmoil.

"At that time, the Demon Lord was only one step away from the Sun Lord, no, only half a step away. Unfortunately, fate played tricks on him. He fell at the finish line. That unwillingness, anger, and hatred lingered in the Spirit Realm and eventually gave birth to me.

"The meaning of my existence is revenge! To take revenge on those former enemies." Zhang Yuanqing asked: "Who is on the list?"

The light golden figure shook his head:

"You don't need to know. Once you know the list, future developments will change. Predictions, divination, and star gazing can accurately capture anomalies in the river of fate.

"Don't make yourself a focal point. It won't do you any good."

Zhang Yuanqing pondered for a long time and tentatively asked: "So, your plan for revenge is to support me in becoming the Sun Lord? That's why you descended into the Kill Zone to save me?"

Speaking of this, he suddenly realized a very terrible fact.

The Demon Lord's obsession could enter the Kill Zone and descend into reality, which was something that Ling Tuo and the Taiyi Sect Leader couldn't do.

You must know that even demigods couldn't break the rules of the Spirit Realm and forcibly descend into the Kill Zone. Otherwise, during the Kill Zone in the middle of the year, he and Fu Qingyang would have died without a doubt.

But the Demon Lord's obsession did it.

If he were the same as the Old Bastard, it wouldn't be right, because the Old Bastard didn't dare to return to reality. Once she left the Spirit Realm, she would lose the "NPC" aura.

It would be impossible to descend into the dungeon at will again.

But the Demon Lord's obsession could come and go between reality and the Spirit Realm at will. This had already surpassed all demigods.

The light golden figure chuckled: "Too confident!

"I descended into the Kill Zone, saving you is only one aspect. The most important thing is that I need to use your body and character card, which can briefly restore me to my peak."

Zhang Yuanqing was puzzled and wary: "Need my character card and body?" He thought, this guy isn't planning to take over my body, is he?

Realizing his distrust, the light golden figure rebuked:

"You don't know what's happening outside, do you? Ling Tuo swallowed the Merit List with the authority of the Taiyin, erasing all the merit values. Now the eighteen rebel factions are besieging the capital.

"The evil faction's demigods are besieging the Sea King. Shura personally went to the capital to contain Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. Once the Sea King dies, the Lawful Good faction in the First District will completely collapse, followed by the Second District."

Zhang Yuanqing was sweating profusely, even more anxious than being in a desperate situation himself.

He wasn't afraid of death, but he was afraid of the collapse of order, afraid that the world would no longer be peaceful, and afraid that a good life would be ruined.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?" the Demon Lord's obsession asked.

How many women have you slept with? Zhang Yuanqing thought for a while and said, "Is Bing Ge in the Five Elements Mystery dungeon?"

The Demon Lord's obsession "hmm"ed:

"In the abyss of the Five Elements Mystery, there is the power to freeze everything. Life and time can be frozen. Self-sealing in it is the best way to resist the corruption of the Holy Grail.

"Originally, if I could become the Sun Lord, he could get rid of the control of the Holy Grail. Unfortunately, it didn't succeed in the end."

"How can I become the Sun Lord?" Zhang Yuanqing asked again. The Demon Lord's obsession said unhappily: "Work hard to level up!"

Zhang Yuanqing "oh"ed and asked again: "Where did you hide the Little Sun?" The Demon Lord's obsession smiled: "This question requires payment!"

In other words, he wouldn't tell him.

Zhang Yuanqing thought for a while and took the initiative: "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

He had many questions he wanted to ask, but he didn't know which questions were sensitive and which questions he could ask.

"I said just now, don't make yourself a focal point. In the face of the Taiyin, ignorance is the best protection for yourself," the Demon Lord's obsession said:

"So, hand over your body to me." Zhang Yuanqing didn't respond.

"Just consider it for the sake of world peace," he said. "Okay!"

In an instant, the president appeared in the conference room that hadn't disbanded yet. He looked around at the Nine Elders and Fu Qingyang and sighed:

"It's over. Shura is blocking our doorstep. Your alliance leaders don't dare to go to New Covenant County for rescue. Shura said if they dare to leave, he will slaughter the city."

The Nine Elders' expressions changed drastically.

Mr. President changed the subject: "Immediately connect to the Heavenly Punishment headquarters. I want to hold a meeting. Time is money. The sooner, the better."
