Rise Of The Demon God - Chapter 1558: : A plan

“Who are you calling an old ghost?” the Demonic Ancestor scoffed at Long Chen, understanding clearly who it was targeted towards.

Long Chen didn’t answer. Both of them knew who he was talking about, so there was no need to explain. Instead, he was more concerned about the situation.

All the God Beasts were here. Even the Ancestral Beast, Rainbow Phoenix was here. As if that wasn’t enough, they were in the Enemy Territory with the Heavenly Emperor, and they had come all alone.

While coming here, they hadn’t even told the Demonic Emperor that they were coming here. At the moment, no one knew that they were supposed to be here, yet somehow all their enemies were here.

“How did you know I was going to come here?” Long Chen asked, not particularly directing his question to a single person. Instead, he asked everyone.

Unfortunately, no one answered the question. Seeing their silence, Long Chen understood that they weren’t going to answer him.

However, just as he gave up on getting an answer, someone spoke. “I told them.”

Long Chen traced the source of voice, his gaze ending up on the masked person.

Long Chen frowned in response. The identity of the masked person was still a mystery, but Long Chen was certain that the person was the most dangerous here.

There was only one person he could think of who was more dangerous than the Heavenly Emperor. It was the person who had waged a war on Heaven. It was the person who has killed many Godly Beasts in his time, yet no one could stop him.

Until now, Long Chen had felt that the aura was familiar, but even the voice felt familiar. Although he wasn’t completely convinced that the masked man was the person he was thinking about, he had a feeling that he wasn’t wrong.

“It hasn’t been long since you woke up from your slumber, and you’re already coming after me?” Long Chen asked, partially to confirm his theory.

“Oh? You know about me? Looks like that treasure spirit has betrayed me. I must say, I’m impressed. You’re much better than the others from that clan.” nO1n

The man spoke, his voice calm without a single trace of any surprise.

“So the person my life supposedly belongs to… is him?” Long Chen scoffed before glaring at the Heavenly Emperor. “The person who waged a war against you… The person who killed your Generals, you’re working for him now? Heaven has really fallen.”

He turned to the Godly Beasts. “And you all. Did you forget what he did to your clan ancestors? At the end of the day, you’ve started working with him?”

“Did he do anything that you didn’t?” The Heavenly Emperor asked, his voice carrying a trace of amusement.

“Did you not kill my people on the way here? Did you not make a deal with the Demonic Ancestor to annihilate us? Did you not kill the Godly Beast Clans, completely annihilating many of them?’

“Out of the two devils, shouldn’t I choose the lesser one, especially when that other devil makes a Heavenly Oath that after killing you, he won’t interfere with our matters?” One of the Godly Beasts also chimed in.

Both sides made it clear that they had a deal with Tian Shen. Although Tian Shen was a threat to them in the past, with Long Chen’s addition to the equation, all relationships were turned upside down.

Long Chen had thought that since Tian Shen just woke up, he would need time to learn about the world that had changed during the time he was asleep. He thought he had some time to prepare for the inevitable battle, but all his assumptions were shattered in his moment.

Not only did Tian Shen not give him time, but he also worked with the Heavenly Emperor and the Godly Beasts. Not just that but he even knew about the Demonic Ancestor.

At that moment, Tian Shen didn’t look down on him. Instead, he treated him like a worthy opponent. He even put aside his past enmities to make sure that there was no room for failure.

Just like Tian Shen had his plan, the Heavenly Emperor had a plan of his own when he agreed to this cooperation.

As soon as the Heavenly Emperor heard about the return of the Demonic Ancestor, he knew that it was only a matter of time before they were attacked. By working with Tian Shen, he achieved two things.

Firstly, even if Tian Shen won the battle, Heaven was safe because of Tian Shen’s oath. And even if Tian Shen and the Godly Beasts failed and died, at least they would’ve weakened Long Chen enough for him to be able to kill him easily.

In both cases, it was profitable for him. That’s also why as soon as Long Chen arrived and started killing his people, he instantly told everyone to retreat to avoid unnecessary losses.

It was a three sided alliance, and each side had thought about their own benefit. Meanwhile, Long Chen was stuck between the three, akin to a prey.

“Can we leave this place?” Long Chen asked in a low voice.

“It’s impossible at this moment. There’s too much Spatial turmoil. You’d be ripped by space if you tried.” The Demonic Ancestor had also gotten serious at this moment.

“Can you take them down alone?” Long Chen asked. However, he only received silence.

“It would’ve been different if I had my real body, but with your body, it seems unlikely to kill so many. It’s because my soul isn’t perfectly accustomed to your body. With the same knowledge, you could’ve achieved much more with your body than I can.”

Although the Demonic Ancestor was confident before, he wasn’t naive. Things had changed a lot with the addition of the Ancestral Beast and Tian Shen, who was still hiding his strength.

“So we can’t escape and we can’t win. Incredible,” Long Chen felt a headache coming. His gaze remained at the door as he wondered if he could break the door in a short time and leave.

After some thinking, he realized that it was unlikely. There was no option but to fight.

“You mean with your knowledge, I would’ve had a better chance than you do with my body?” Thinking of something, Long Chen asked.

“That’s correct. Unfortunately, there’s no time to do that now.”

For a moment, Long Chen went silent, before speaking, “I have a plan.”
