"King! Are you feeling better now?"
"Yes. How long have I been unconscious?"
"It's been two days."
"Two days have passed? Where's Weier? Where's Weier? How's Wei Er?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The Queen is fine.”
"Phew ~ That's good! That was good! Help me up."
"Yes, be careful, King."
It had been two days since the explosion of the soul fragment in the depths of Li Yang's mind. Although Li Yang had been unconscious for the past two days, his soul had never been calm. The impact of the explosion of the soul fragment had been messing with Li Yang's soul. Countless memory fragments played in Li Yang's mind. Li Yang felt like she was an outsider, watching everything that another person had experienced. Li Yang laughed when he laughed, and Li Yang cried when he cried. Li Yang knew that person's feelings very well. However, these memories were all incoherent. There were pieces left and right, Li Yang wanted to grab onto something but could not. There was an invisible wall blocking her way. Li Yang struggled, resisted, and attacked, but it was useless.
After an unknown period of time, Li Yang's eyes lit up. The light was so bright that he could not open his eyes. By the time he could see, he had already woken up and was lying in Duan Xiu's arms. Li Yang looked around. She was still on Ling Yun Street and hadn't left the ruins. The ground not far from her was a mess of dismembered limbs. Li Yang could tell that they belonged to Beelzebub.
"King, these are the wings you wanted."
Bai Cheng, Hua Zhu, Can Gang, Harm Tongue, and Zheng Nu knelt in front of Li Yang, each holding a pair of wings in their hands.
"Your Majesty, the five generals have been kneeling for two days.”Duan Xiu whispered into Li Yang's ear.
"Get up! You are indeed worthy of being the good sons of my Jiuli Race. It is my honor to receive your help. The loyalty of the generals can be seen by heaven and earth!”Li Yang stood up straight and bowed to the five of them.
"Your Majesty, you must not do such a grand ceremony. We have sinned. Your Majesty's injury was our oversight. We should have committed suicide to apologize, but Your Majesty is unconscious and the Queen still needs someone to protect her. That's why we have been waiting for Your Majesty to wake up for your safety. Now that Your Majesty is fine, we can rest assured. Please punish us for our dereliction of duty!" When the five of them saw Li Yang bow, they quickly stopped him and knelt in front of him to apologize.
"Generals, this king is unconscious not because of your negligence, but because of my own reasons. On the contrary, this king would like to thank the generals for their willingness to assist this king and protect this king's wife when this king is unconscious. This bow is what all the generals deserve. No one should stop this king.”Li Yang bowed deeply again.
The 'king' looked at Li Yang, who was bowing, and the five of them were so touched that their eyes filled with passion.
"We swear in the name of the Jiuli Race: He swore to follow the person in front of him and was willing to die for him!”The five of them looked at each other and nodded. Then, they swore on the honor of the Jiuli Race. In fact, they knew that the person who summoned them was not Chi You, nor was he a pure descendant of the Jiuli Race. He was just a descendant of the Jiuli Race and the Human Race. However, Li Yang's actions had gained their approval. Even a Weapon Grandmaster had acknowledged Li Yang as their master. This was enough to prove that Li Yang was worthy of their allegiance.
"I, Duan Xiu, swear to follow you!" Looking at Bai Cheng, Hua Zhu, Can Gang, Harm Tongue, and Scramble Slave, Duan Xiu made the same decision.
"Xiao Yang, I know that you don't remember my brothers anymore, nor do you remember everything that happened in the past, but I'm still willing to continue protecting you. No matter how many reincarnations you have, I'll always protect you.”Duan Xiu silently made up his mind.
"Li Yang would like to thank all the generals!”Li Yang was also very touched.
Li Yang had always had a question in her heart. Why was she able to summon these people? How did he know everything about these people? Why did he have an indescribable sense of familiarity with these people? Why did he occasionally have memories of living with these people in his mind…Everything was a mystery. He wanted to find the truth, but something always blocked his view.
"Generals, you must be tired. Please go back and rest.”Li Yang recalled Bai Cheng, Hua Zhu, Can Gang, Hitting Tongue, and Zheng Nu into the Spirit Placing Space, leaving Duan Xiu behind. He still had something to ask this old man.
"Brother!" Li Yang suddenly called out.
"What is it? you... What did you just call me?" Duan Xiu suddenly heard Li Yang call him elder brother and asked in shock. "Could it be that Xiao Yang still remembers? Does he still remember that I'm his elder brother?" He couldn't believe it.
"I don't know why, but I just want to call you that. My mind is in a mess right now, and there are some fragments flashing in my mind. I don't know what's going on, I really don't know. It's like I had a dream, a long, long dream…In the dream, there was you, Bai Cheng, Hua Zhu, Can Gang, Heck Tongue, Zhengu, the five of them, and others. You guys were like my family, and I seemed to have dreamed of something else, but I just couldn't remember. I'm really confused now. Li Yang covered his face with both hands, trying to recall something, but there was nothing in his mind. It was all a fog.
"Your Majesty, there's no need to be like this. Perhaps it's because you've just woken up and are too tired.”Duan Xiu consoled Li Yang, but anyone could tell that he was lying. After waking up, one would be more energetic. Mental fatigue was caused by overwork.
"Then... Can I call you brother?" Li Yang's tone was filled with desire. It was a desire that came from the bottom of her heart.
"Good! As long as the king was willing, Duan Xiu would be the king's elder brother!”Duan Xiu was so excited that his hands were trembling.
"I still remember…He still remembered…Although the soul fragment had disappeared, it still affected him. Perhaps he would be able to remember everything in the future. "Little Yang, my brothers have been hoping that you would remember them ~" Tears of joy flowed down Duan Xiu's face. It was such exciting news that his younger brother was willing to call him 'elder brother'.
"Xiao Yang, my brothers are all waiting for your return!”Everyone in Li Yang's spirit storage space was excited.
"Really? Brother!" Li Yang was very happy. He did not realize that he had changed after summoning these people. He was quietly changing in the direction that he desired the most in the depths of his heart.
Who said that demons were heartless? Demons were the manifestation of love, and all kinds of demons were the embodiment of all kinds of love in the world. Demons did whatever they wanted. Emotions also moved according to one's heart. In this world, as long as one had a soul and a mind, they would have feelings, even if it was a saint. Why was there a Battle of Gods Investiture? That was because the saints were fighting for faith, and they were greedy. The only thing that was truly heartless was the Heavenly Dao. Why was the Heavenly Dao heartless? It was because the Heavenly Dao had no soul or mind. It was the law of the universe, and it was fair and just. If the universe wanted to operate, it had to be heartless.
"Brother, why can I summon you?”
"Because we have already signed a contract with your ancestors. The nine of us will protect your Li family for generations.”
"Then why couldn't I summon you before? They didn't even know that I had a guardian spirit?”
"Because you're not qualified. Your Li family has the demon blood. Only by activating the demon blood in your body can you summon the nine of us. We're demon generals.”
"There's one thing I don't understand. I was possessed at Flying Fairy Street. Why didn't I know that you guys existed? It wasn't until the battle with Beelzebub that I suddenly knew of your existence and heard the sound of you fighting?”
"Seal. We were already awake when you became a demon. I was the one who placed the seal because you were not recognized by us at that time. Do you know your identity now?"
"Ancestor Tao Tie said that I am the king of the Nine Li Race, the descendant of the God of War Chi You.”
"Do you know who the nine of us are?”
"I don't know. The information in my mind only said that you are the strongest warriors of the Jiuli Race and were once the subordinates of Patriarch Chiyou.”
"You don't know everything. We are the king's subordinates, but we are also the king's brothers and relatives. You are indeed the descendant of the king, but you don't have the dignity of a king. Our Jiuli Race doesn't respect the sky, the earth, or the gods. We only respect our king. The arrogance you gave off when you fought with that dirty bug is like the heroic bearing of King Chi You. That's why we acknowledge your identity.”
"I see."
"One more thing, Tao Tie is not your ancestor. He is not our brother or our kin.”
"How could that be? He clearly said "
"He said that he was Chi You's body that absorbed the resentment from the battlefield after he died, right?”Duan Xiu continued Li Yang's words.
"Yes."
"Humph! If it wasn't for Tao Tie, Xiao Yang wouldn't have become a demon and wouldn't have died. Our Jiuli Clan wouldn't have been exterminated. It's all his fault!" Duan Xiu said angrily.
"Little Yang? The Xiao Yang that elder brother is talking about is "
"Your ancestor, Chi You. His name is Yang."
"Oh."
"Xiao Yang, I'm sorry. You will only believe me if I say this. We have been silently protecting you. It's not that we don't want to come out to protect you, but we can't. The person in your body is because of him. My brothers are no match for him. They can only watch helplessly as you are bullied and your sister-in-law dies. It's all because of him ~ Now, my brothers can come out because he is asleep. When he wakes up, I don't know what will happen. However, Little Yang, don't worry. Even if my brothers exhaust their lives, they won't let him hurt you! Brother could only say sorry in his heart. Sometimes, the most desperate thing was not that you had no choice, but that you had no other choice! We 81 brothers really have no other choice! Don't blame us. If it was possible, we wanted to take care of you when you were born, but we couldn't!”Duan Xiu helplessly told Li Yang what he wanted to say in his heart.
Li Yang still didn't understand. It seemed that Tao Tie and Duan Xiu's words were very different and even contradictory. It seemed that he had to explain it clearly.
"Tao Tie, come here!" Li Yang felt that taking this opportunity to clarify everything would be beneficial to the feud he had with her in the past.
"Sir, you were looking for me." Tao Tie came to Li Yang and said respectfully,
"My elder brother has something to discuss with you. Of course, I also want to clarify it.”Li Yang said coldly. He still didn't know who to believe. He hated deception the most.
"Brother!" Tao Tie shouted excitedly as he looked at Duan Xiu.
"Humph! I'm not your brother. There's no relationship between us. If there's a relationship, it's only that of an enemy.”Duan Xiu looked at Tao Tie with hatred.
"Brother, what do you mean? Am I Chi You? Don't you recognize him?" Tao Tie looked at the hatred on Duan Xiu's face and asked in confusion.
"I told you, I'm not your brother. Do you know that Chi You became a devil because you fed him your blood? Do you know why Chi You was called the devil? It's all because of your blood and the half of your soul that you stole. Back then, Chi You went around seeking medical help to save his wife, Night. Those bullsh * t gods had the ability but were unwilling to help. In desperation, he met you. You tricked him into giving up half of his soul to save Night, but you didn't. You tricked him into drinking your blood essence, saying that after drinking your blood essence, he would have powerful abilities and with your help, he could revive Night. But in the end? Ye is dead and Chi You has become a demon. You have been controlling him with your soul instead of the missing part of him. Did you know? Chi You was very kind before he became a demon. He would not kill anyone even if he attacked other tribes. But what about after he became a demon? He became cruel and bloodthirsty. Every time he attacked a tribe, he would slaughter all the people in that tribe, not even leaving a living creature behind. Do you know how many people Chi You killed because of you? Millions! Millions! It's all because of you! It's all because of you! Do you know why 'Night' got such a bad disease? That was your curse, everything is your fault! You were the one who plotted the extermination of our Jiuli Clan. You were also the one who fought for the world with the Xuanyuan Clan. Tell me, what is the relationship between you and me, our Jiuli Clan? There's only hatred between us. I'm not killing you today because I've let go. It's because you're the king's guardian spirit.”Duan Xiu cried as he spoke. The hatred, killing intent, and anger in his words made it hard for Li Yang to breathe.
"It's not like that... It wasn't like that…It wasn't like that…I am Chi You! I am Chi You! Back then, it was because the Yellow Emperor wanted to destroy our Jiuli Race that I resisted.'Night' died because he was too tired. I was Chi You's body that absorbed the resentment and transformed into the evil aura. It's not like what brother said, it's not!”Tao Tie didn't believe Duan Xiu's words. This was different from his memories.
