The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 1189 - 455: Meeting of the Seven Clans_2

"The reason each epoch suppresses the Human Race is nothing but the hidden threat of the Merciful Ancestor, which we cannot afford to ignore."

"Now, seizing this breakthrough, plundering the Treasury of the Land of Lust, we’re certain to make a fortune!"

"Um... I don’t want to miss such an opportunity either."

"Allying with the King of Envy not only allows us to test the strengths and weaknesses of the Land of Lust but also to scheme for Spiritual Treasures, killing two birds with one stone."

Zhuang Lingspring nodded slowly, still contemplating when suddenly, a bone crow carrying a scroll of curses flew screeching into the great hall:

"Not good! Not good!"

"Great King, something terrible has happened!"

"Three days ago, the Land of Lust issued a proclamation, claiming that they have obtained the Whip of Lust!"

"Almost the next day, the Sloth Nation also sent a message claiming that they had obtained the Pillow of Sloth!"

"With this, the collection of the seven demonic instruments is complete. Upon hearing the news, the King of Pride has decided to hold the Seven Sins Ceremony immediately!"

"We must quickly respond to the summon of the King of Pride. If we cannot reach our ancestor’s tomb before the designated time, that king will surely slaughter us!"

"Pfft!"

Zhuang Lingspring extended her demon hand and pressed down on the crow’s head.

As she read the cursed script, she searched the soul and her face darkened to the point where it seemed water could drip from it.

"Sister..."

Zhuang Chuan Xia licked his dry lips, inquiring with his eyes.

Zhuang Lingspring crushed the bone crow’s body with a fierce grip, divine waves surging like tsunamis throughout the great hall:

"It seems, my cooperation with the King of Envy has to be postponed."

"The Land of Lust is now off-limits, the top priority is naturally the Seven Sins Ceremony..."

"Damn, why is it so sudden?!"

Zhuang Chuan Xia’s face also looked terrible as he angrily shattered a second stone slab:

"Diligence and Justice have yet to fall into our clan’s hands!"

"How did the King of Lust manage to get the Whip of Lust? And how did the Sloth King, who never leaves his two gates, get the Pillow of Sloth?"

"This matter is quite strange! Could it be that the Land of Lust sensed something? Have they had the demonic instrument all along, just biding their time?"

No demon dared answer Zhuang Chuan Xia’s questions.

In the silence of the great hall that was as chilly as frost, Zhuang Lingspring’s order rang out after several seconds:

"Dispatch my royal decree, all members of the Primordial Ruling Demon clan, including the young, must assemble!"

"Within one year, we must reach the Ancestor’s tomb and officially meet with the other six clans!"

"While we are away, the defense level of the Greed Nation will fall to its historical lowest."

"To prevent the invasion of the Grey Sun God Church and the Seven Virtues, this king will take all her treasures. My people may seek refuge in the underground bunkers until my return, when order will surely be restored!"

"Yes! We will heed the royal decree!"

A group of demons born as Supreme Holy Embryos took their orders and departed.

A similar scene also unfolded in the Kingdom of Envy.

The Country of Rage and The Gluttonous Country were relatively straightforward.

They did not need to care about their citizens, who were merely servants or food, not worthy of attention.

"Ah, my life is so miserable..."

In the Tower of the Witch Queen · Ralu Habu, the Primordial Sleep Demon · Kukuda looked at her clan members sleeping soundly, her face filled with despondency.

All the demons asleep, only she awake, what kind of defy-the-heavens luck was this.

In the end, she sighed three hundred and sixty-five sighs, already utterly exhausted before she even set out on her journey.

Bent over, back laden, limping, she had to use all her willpower to step out of the demon tower’s gate.

"Goodbye, Kukuba, Kukushuai, Kukuchou, I will bring presents for you..."

"Goodbye, my kingdom, my homeland, my bed..."

Kukuda, with tears brimming, held the pillow in her arms as if it weighed a hundred thousand tons.

Hugging it, she left a profoundly desolate silhouette that slowly vanished at the end of the horizon.

And her prayer, like a curse repeating over and over between heaven and earth:

"Pray to the Seven Sins Demon God for blessings, let the others of the Demon Race ascend in ranks, let the others of the Demon Race grow stronger..."

"If I advance one more step and achieve Supreme Holy Completion, Kukuba will have to pass the Clan Leader position to me, this... that cannot be! The life of evil is completely doomed!"

...

In the Second Epoch of the New Era, the year 2024.

In the bitter cold north of the Realm of Desire, there lies an eternal frozen Ice Lake, nameless yet extraordinary.

On this day, a meteor descended from the sky, smashing a large hole in the lake surface.

Shortly after, a group of Primordial Dragon Demons with crimson fire burning on their bodies slowly climbed out of the Ice Lake.

Alert or frenzied expressions were etched on their muscular faces.

Leading them, Rage King Maiertu suddenly clenched his dragon claw, emitting a daunting Dragon Chant:

"Roar! I’ve finally waited for this day!"

"The humiliation of this epoch, I, Maiertu, will never forget!"

"The Country of Rage will definitely return to the top three among the Seven Sins under my leadership!"

"Clap——Clap——Clap——"

King of Envy - Yidongsi, slowly walked over from the other side of the Ice Lake.

He was thin as a rail, like a malnourished Goblin.

His greenish skin, sinister eyes, and the ghost fire spewing from his orifices all gave him an extremely cold presence.

"Dragon Demon brother, long we have heard of your fame."

"Did your elite warriors get wiped out cleanly? Found out who was behind it yet?"

"Oh dear, one by one so proud and majestic, still full of vigor, I admire that, really admire it!"

"Roar!"

At the sound of Yidongsi’s aggravating tone, Maiertu was enraged, his eyes immediately blazing with fire:

"King of Envy, are you provoking my Country of Rage?"

"My elder brother Mai Ertu passed away only a few hundred years ago. Though dead in body and soul, his will lives on in our bloodline!"
