The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 1133 - 436: Lord Aegifura_3

The Pig Dragon Demon King lamented bitterly, once again making it clear that he had no intention of harming Aegifura and merely sought a way to stay alive.

"Regarding the issue of kin-slaying and the amalgamation of bloodlines, what’s your view?"

Aegifura asked indifferently.

"This... Old Pig really can’t say for sure."

"The affairs of the Land of Lust from long ago, Old Pig is not aware of."

"It wasn’t until the end of the Near Ancient Era, when the lineage of the Primordial Enchanting Demon accidentally ceased, that powerhouses went through great pains to obtain a dying Ancient Era Taimo."

"As you already know, the Ancient Era Taimo consumed the rotting flesh of The Demon Queen·Raffles and nurtured her progeny."

"Because it involved divinity, the offspring it bore, although they numbered in the hundreds, were all of the Jade Infant variety."

"They required growth from Acquired means, striving for Glorious Perfection, to have the chance to enter the Demon Queen’s tower and officially awaken their divinity."

The Pig Dragon Demon King pressed his booming voice, whispering unusually softly:

"Queen Rose, Mogo, the two Your Majesties, were originally ranked number 1 and number 2, respectively."

"They occasionally had disagreements and even came to blows after falling out."

"But during the absence of The Demon Queen·Raffles’ legacy, the country suffered a severe depletion of resources and shrinking territory."

"The foundation of the Land of Lust was incredibly fragile, forcing the two queens to huddle together for warmth. In critical times, they had to present a united front."

The Pig Dragon Demon King wiped the sweat from around his neck, struggling to explain:

"I don’t really understand matters regarding divine integration."

"As for the other six countries, their successors can’t all be painted with the same brush."

"Take, for example, Pride Country; they observe a single lineage transmission, where only the most prideful Demon King can survive to then become the lord."

"Envy is the same; their disposition makes kin-slaying sparse and ordinary. They will do everything in their power to seize what they do not possess, hence their successors are also unique."

"But as for Wrath, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, there are many heirs; some maintain double-digit numbers year-round."

"Especially Greed, they resemble Envy in their desire to own everything."

"But Envy destroys what it can’t have, Greed is different; their desire has no end. The internal wars that break out among the seven countries are often instigated by them."

"By comparison... Sloth is the least noticeable!"

"Their territorial size is entirely arbitrary. As long as their lives aren’t threatened, even if only a small corner of the Realm of Desire remains, it’s all the same to them..."

The Pig Dragon Demon King went on and on, concluding at last:

"In short, Your Majesty Fula, with your ranking of number 1 and having eliminated Queen Rose and the five pillars, within the boundaries of the Land of Lust, you are undeniably the queen, possessing the lord’s privilege and status."

"I, Old Pig, will follow your arrangements. Though we are of Supreme Holy Completion, within the Realm of Desire, unless one is a Half-Step Deity, all honor goes to the heirs of the Seven Sins. You are the inherent rulers, born with it, and this rule, flowing through your blood, cannot be altered by any beast, no matter how many epochs it spans."

"So that’s how it is."

Ye Hanjun had an epiphany.

He finally understood why Aegi Rosie, being of Supreme Sacred Great Achievement, could command four or five of Supreme Holy Completion.

This phenomenon wasn’t solely due to charm; more importantly, it was the bloodline she possessed, inherently superior to high beasts.

"That... Your Majesty Fula, you should prepare yourself mentally."

The Pig Dragon Demon King suddenly hesitated, his gaze dodging as he spoke:

"The Land of Lust was originally ranked seventh, the weakest nation."

"Should word of Queen Rose’s and the five pillars’ demise leak, it could lead to domestic panic, and foreign powerhouses may well cast scornful glances."

"Oh?"

Aegifura glanced at it, saying faintly:

"Do you think we are inferior to Aegi Rosie and her underlings, unable to replace her presence?"

"God forbid, God forbid."

The Pig Dragon Demon King nodded and bowed with a wry smile:

"This Saint’s Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits, both in number and quality, severely defy Old Pig’s understanding."

"Such matters, if spoken aloud, would seem like a wild fantasy; the various Demon Kings would take it as drunken nonsense, never taking it seriously."

"Furthermore... a meeting of the seven lords is imminent; the leaders of each country will soon meet..."

"In the Realm of Desire, the heirs of the Seven Sins reign supreme. Once it’s known that a contract with a human has been signed, Your Majesty Fula, you will be seen as a heretic, targeted for collective hostility!"

"Oh."

Aegifura responded impassively, her expression unchanging as she said:

"I ask you, among the other six countries, are there any combat units of Half-Step Deity level or above?"

"This..."

The Pig Dragon Demon King scratched his head and lamented:

"There used to be, but whether they exist now, Old Pig is unsure and dares not make presumptions."

"But I am certain there are no Fetus of God Sealing nor individuals of Crown Rank in the Realm of Desire."

"Otherwise, the division into seven wouldn’t have persisted from the Ancient Era until now, remaining unchanged."

"At least that’s somewhat good news."

Aegifura frowned, murmuring to herself:

"What a nuisance, inheriting this bloodline and facing such a mess."

"Ye Hanjun, I’m leaving it all to you to manage. I’m tired and want to rest."

Saying so, Aegifura yawned.

She withdrew Fu Shan, the Nightmare Falcon, and the Giant Shield Demon Image one by one, then summoned the "Wish-Fulfilling Bed", lifted the bed-curtains, and laid down inside with complete ease.

"Little Meili, how about I play your part?"

GuaGua’s eyes spun, craftily proposing:

"My Thousand Changes and Ten Thousand Transformations can mimic a hint of divinity."

"With just this faintest wisp of divinity, I could impersonate you and command the Land of Lust."

"No way."

Aegifura closed the bed curtains, her voice soft and firm, not open to debate:

"You’re too mischievous; you would certainly tarnish my image."

"I too care about face as a demon; if other demons saw me as a playful or mischievous sprite, wouldn’t I lose all dignity?"

"Oh no, that won’t happen! Please, I beg you!"

GuaGua clasped its hands together, its eyes sparkling with earnest pleading:

"Let me try! Anyway, you don’t like all this hassle. If I take on some of it for you, it would be so much easier!"

"I will uphold the personalities of ’pride in my unique beauty’ and ’clean living’. If anyone dares look at me with lust, I’ll have Big Tadpole smash them flat!"
