"If that's the case, then apart from Holy Lord, Curse Blue, Basha, and Zhong Su, the other demons are all imposters with memories. But why did those eight guys just stand by and watch them change history?"
Xu Le pondered. At this moment, a large number of shadow warriors had arrived and were slaughtering the demon followers who were trying to escape.
Although the individual imps were stronger, they were easily subdued by the sheer number of the undead shadow warriors, who devoured their souls, flesh, and shadows.
"The Lord of Howling Wind is dead. Who will protect us now?"
"What should I do? I don't want to die!"
"..."
These humans, while serving as food, are also protected by demons. After all, this is a world full of evil spirits, and without the cunning of the demons, the strength of humans is completely insufficient to resist these ferocious beasts and evil spirits!
Standing on the high ground, Xu Le looked down at the assembled crowd and their terrified expressions, and said in a deep voice, "The greatest tragedy is not being defeated, but being cowardly!"
Xu Le sat on the canopy. These humans had developed a servile mentality under long-term rule, and it would take a lot of time to correct it. Xu Le, who was only acting on a whim, naturally wouldn't help them correct their servility.
He wasn't a saint; he only saved them because they were all human. Since they couldn't even save themselves and only thought about eking out a living under the protection of demons, what did their lives have to do with him?
His shadow warriors slaughtered all the remaining lesser demons and took control of the city. All humanity had a new master, and their mission changed from building palaces to finding medicinal herbs and habitats for various ferocious creatures.
Although they were still ruled by others, they had gone from being food to being slaves, from barely surviving to just barely clinging to life, which could be considered a kind of progress.
Xu Le handed the shadowy black robe to Little King Kong, while he went to find the Book of Time alone.
With a cold, icy gaze, surrounded by countless shadowy warriors, Little King Kong addressed the trembling humans below: "I am the Emperor of Shurima, and also your Emperor!"

Still in the midst of revelry, the Holy Lord enjoys the service of his former enemy, Jackie Chan. Apart from that, both Uncle and Jade have lost their memories and live as his servants in his palace.
The Holy Lord's perverse sense of humor meant that he didn't want to kill these enemies, but rather let them live under his nose, finding pleasure in watching them live such wretched lives.
bite!
Six illusory figures appeared before the Holy Lord, somewhat dissatisfied with his extravagant lifestyle. Perhaps in their eyes, the Holy Lord was not their brother, but merely a servant.
However, now that the Holy Lord has regained his strength and has the power to communicate with them, they will not be foolish enough to provoke a companion of the same level.
The Holy Lord grabbed a handful of green worms that Jackie Chan had brought and stuffed them into his mouth, savoring his current imperial life. He laughed loudly, "Brothers, what brings you here all of a sudden? Why did you come to my place without any prior notice?"
Basha's face was grave as she answered in a shrill voice, "Xiaofeng is dead! Killed by the King of Shadows!"
"impossible!"

The Holy Lord suddenly stood up and knocked Jackie Chan, who was standing to the side, to the ground. A huge worm spitting out green viscous liquid crawled onto Jackie Chan's body and kept wriggling.
Zhou Lan watched Jackie Chan clumsily tossing the bugs off his body and said with dissatisfaction, "Holy Master, why did you leave them here? These guys are a menace; we can't let them live!"
Upon hearing this, Jackie Chan immediately lay prostrate on the ground, trembling. At this moment, his memories were only of being a servant of the Holy Lord, so naturally he would not resist and could only beg for mercy in this way.
The Holy Lord frowned in displeasure at Zhou Lan's questioning. Now he possessed the power of eight talismans and was no longer the weakling they could slaughter. However, turning against them now would mean facing the other six demons. As the demon most like a human, he naturally wouldn't do something so foolish as to cause mutual destruction.
Shendu glanced at the disheveled Jackie Chan, feeling immense satisfaction at his cowardly appearance. He looked down on him considerably and said nonchalantly, "They have no memory of anything, and I've banned magic. They'll never be able to turn things around. Besides, don't you think keeping your enemy under your nose is a good way to both torment and monitor him? It's killing two birds with one stone!"
Zhou Lan disagreed with Shen Du's perverse tastes, but Jackie Chan, in his current state, could only eke out a living in their shadow. The most urgent task was to deal with the newly emerged King of Shadows.
Thinking of the deceased Xiaofeng, and after so many years of torment, the Holy Lord felt no affection for these brothers and sisters. If given the chance to devour them, the Holy Lord would not hesitate and would make them completely annihilate.
Although he was displeased, he still had to put on a show. The Holy Lord forced out a few tears, which fell to the ground and corroded a small hole. He said angrily, "How come the King of Shadows is here? I remember writing in the Book of Time that I had written down all the creatures that could threaten us, except for us demons, and that I should make them disappear. Why was Howling Wind killed?"
The phantom of Zhou Lan gradually solidified and said heavily, "Last time when we went to revise the Book of Time, I sensed the riot in the Shadow World. However, since our goal was the Book of Time, we didn't pay attention to it and didn't tell you. Now it seems that the appearance of the Shadow World is related to the previous riot!"
"In that case, let's go and kill him!"
The speaker was Zhong Su, who was as furious as thunder. Possessing the power of lightning, he disliked scheming and trickery, believing that only the weak needed to use tactics.
Ximu curled his lip upon hearing Zhongsu's opinion and retorted, "My servant told me that guy directly and brutally killed Xiaofeng, and he also has nearly ten thousand shadow soldiers and ten thousand immortal soldiers. How could you possibly kill him? Zhongsu, you're getting more and more foolish!"
"Ximu, you're mocking me again! You just wait, I'm going to beat you to death right now!"
The phantom images of Zhong Su disappeared, and Xi Mu laughed heartily. But not long after, with a cry of pain, the phantom images vanished.
"Stop fooling around!"
As Basha roared, Ximu and Zhongsu also returned.
"Xiaofeng is our brother. This Shadow King dared to kill our brother, which is a challenge to our authority. Everyone, gather your forces and attack Xiaofeng City to eliminate the Shadow King!"
Although Di Kui wasn't very intelligent, he agreed with Basha's opinion, and the other demons had no objections. As for the Holy Lord, seeing that the other demons had all agreed, he couldn't just abandon his post.
Across the entire world, in seven regions ruled by demons, a colossal war machine slowly begins to operate.
All creatures under demon rule were conscripted as soldiers, especially the numerous and prolific humans, who were used as cannon fodder by the demons. Large numbers of demonic legions marched toward Howling Wind City.
………………
Above the boundless wilderness, Xu Le flew at high speed through the air. With the blessing of the Rabbit Talisman, he arrived at the ancient palace in Australia, the place where the Book of Time was kept, in less than an hour.
Xu Le slowly descended from the sky, and a large number of shadowy warriors appeared, but they all knelt down upon seeing Xu Le, indicating their obedience.
The Shadow Warriors were born in the same era as the demons, or even earlier. So Shendu simply erased the existence of the creatures that could threaten him from the annals of history, leaving only the era of the eight demons' rule.
