The ball spun, entering the crystal's core. The crystal's surface rubbed against the board, creating a vibrant rhythm.
In the air filled with vibrant energy, the vice-captain, who had just been appointed, was still adjusting to his new role. He was currently in the process of training the young demon, who was practicing the "Heavenly Demon Body" technique.
Wu Meng stood on the field, wearing a crystal suit. The intricate patterns on the suit shimmered under the light, and his eyes held a hint of unease, as if he was worried about something that was about to happen.
He saw Wu Meng's silhouette flash, and a crystal ball flew out. The ball drew a perfect arc, piercing through the opponent's defense and heading towards the opponent's outstretched hand.
"Who is this for? You must be tired, right?"
Wu Meng landed on the ground, muttering to himself, his heart filled with a sense of unease and confusion.
Xia Buwen stood opposite him, wearing a black crystal suit. He was tall and imposing, his eyes deep and unfathomable, as if he could see through people's hearts.
He opened his mouth and said, "Only those who protect people's hearts can understand the suffering of the weak. There is a fragile balance between the mortal world and the divine world. I need to maintain it."
"You don't even care about small things, let alone people's hearts. Your heart is too weak." Wu Meng sneered, his eyes flashing with a hint of disdain.
"The existence of the demon king is to protect the weak and punish the wicked. It is my duty as the demon king."
Xia Buwen's voice was steady and powerful, each word like a heartfelt confession.
"The weak can only use the great principles of reason to restrain their power. You have been brainwashed, idiot."
Wu Meng made a face at him, his eyes filled with both anger and mockery.
Xia Buwen's expression became serious, but he quickly returned to his usual carefree demeanor.
"Limited power can only break the shackles. Meng, you have a clear mind, but your strength is too weak, and you don't know how to use it. You can only hurt yourself and others."
The two men's conversation became more heated, and the air was filled with a tense, almost palpable atmosphere.
Jia Luowen and Shi Ruizi, who were in the stands, watched the two of them silently.
He knew that Wu Meng and Xia Buwen could fight at any time, and it was uncertain whether the crystal ball would be able to protect them.
The reason why the crystal ball was so powerful was because of the "Heavenly Demon Body" technique taught by the demon king, not because of the elemental power.
That's why he had been suspicious from the beginning.
"It's not that I can't stop it, it's that I don't want to." Jia Luowen and Shi Ruizi put on a show of not caring about anything, as if they were saying, "It's just a fight, how can it stop us?"
Just as they were about to finish their conversation, a sharp and powerful voice pierced through the air. "It's the demon king, who has appeared at the right time!"
Wu Meng looked at Xia Buwen and smiled. There was a hint of playfulness in his smile.
He deliberately straightened his body and put on an old man's posture, complaining with a hint of grievance:
"Why, old man, I'm just stretching my body to reach the required height."
"It's not good if you delay the mission because you're stretching."
The two of them exchanged words, cooperating perfectly, completely unable to show the demeanor of vice-captains.
The demon king watched Wu Meng write his own epitaph, a bitter smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
He didn't dare to be careless and continued to explain, as if he wanted to "educate" the two people in front of him who were not afraid of him.
"It seems that the recent missions are a bit too few. It's time for you to do some work."
The demon king's heart was filled with a sense of helplessness, but he still maintained the majesty of the demon king.
"It doesn't matter. Just as I was about to receive a mission from the Heavenly Emperor, I wanted you four to work together. Let's see."
As he spoke, the demon king took out a mission scroll from his dark red robe and handed it to Wu Meng.
The sunlight happened to shine on the scroll, casting a layer of golden light on the text.
Xia Buwen took the mission scroll, and Wu Meng also stepped forward. The two of them looked at the mission scroll together.
Jia Luowen and Shi Ruizi, who were standing in the corner of the stadium, originally planned to slip away quietly.
However, under the demon king's sharp gaze, they had no choice but to stop their steps.
"Protect yourself and disappear. 'Starfall.' Why are you breaking missions?"
Wu Meng looked up at the demon king, his eyes filled with doubt, as if asking him to give a reasonable explanation.
"It's the Heavenly Emperor who wants to start the 'Starfall' game." Xia Buwen's voice sounded from the side.
"Start the 'Starfall' game?" Wu Meng repeated, looking up at the demon king with a hint of curiosity, as if he had never seen him before.
"The demon king taught you, don't you know? Don't you know what to do in front of him? Damn it."
Xia Buwen rebuked Wu Meng, who was stretching his body, and then looked at Wu Meng with a pair of bright eyes.
"The Heavenly Emperor has his own 'unconventional' ways, but you can't do 'unconventional' things."
"Don't worry, old friend. To the Heavenly Emperor, I am a 'great sin'."
"That is, the Heavenly Emperor has transcended the mortal world and is in a state of existence beyond form."
The demon king knew that Wu Meng didn't understand these things, but he didn't take it to heart and patiently explained it to him.
He knew that these missions were of great importance to the entire God Realm, and at that time, the pressure on him was also very heavy, but at this time, he also had a playful heart.
"Isn't that a good idea? Evolution, isn't it just a way to change and strengthen the original idea?"
The five senses were a little confused, and he didn't understand. Before, he was still in a serious mood, and Ye Chen was really thinking about teasing people.
"Indeed, the ancient race, the evolved Heavenly Origin Great Emperor, will lose his own will, and become the existence of my realm."
Xia Chen looked at Ye Chen and said with a smile.
"Protect the God Realm's Supreme God, as well as the formation used by the Demon God King, all rely on the Heavenly Origin Great Emperor's evolution."
"Once he loses his self-awareness, he can only protect the God Realm, and even become a puppet of the God Realm, that will be the greatest disaster for the God Realm."
Ye Chen couldn't help but nod. Fortunately, at least the five senses were not like before, and they were all whispering in his ear.
