Chapter 128
The real world was very similar to the City of the Abyss. There was also a Baobab Tree Pub in the center of the city. When Xiao Tangqiu passed by the Baobab Tree Pub in the real world, he couldn’t help but feel extremely complicated emotions.
After a while, Ouroboros stopped in front of a palace. This palace was majestic, but the exterior was pitch black, looking like a black behemoth from a distance.
“This is my palace.”
Xiao Tangqiu pursed his lips and did not speak, but Shen Yuan chuckled and introduced, “My palace is the tallest building in the real world, and at the top, you can overlook the whole city.”
Although this palace was not as tall as the Tongtian Tower, it was indeed very tall, probably more than 100 meters high. There was indeed enough capital to become a landmark building in the real world. But then again, who would dare to build their house bigger than the palace of the Great Demon King?
Seeing that Xiao Tangqiu still didn’t speak, Shen Yuan didn’t mind and continued slowly, “Let me show you my palace, it’s much better than the Reincarnation Team’s headquarters.”
…Was this an illusion? Xiao Tangqiu kept feeling that Shen Yuan was like a dragon proudly showing off his gold coins and treasures to the hero.
Although he actually didn’t want to visit the demon boss’s lair at all, he was still carried by Ouroboros into the palace of the Abyss Demon.
This palace really deserved to be the palace of the big demon lord. Even the entrance hall’s ceiling was more than a dozen meters tall, it was all very majestic.
“I’ll give you a tour of my treasure room.”
Xiao Tangqiu, “…” Was this dragon really trying to show off his treasure?!
Shen Yuan patted Ouroboros beneath him, and the giant World Serpent slithered towards one of the rooms.
Xiao Tangqiu didn’t meet anyone along the way, and couldn’t help but ask curiously, “What about your subordinates?”
Shen Yuan asked slowly, “Are you asking about my witch? Didn’t she get killed by you?”
Xiao Tangqiu, “…Lily Marlene? Do you only have one subordinate?”
He suddenly remembered that Shen Yuan’s subordinates should still have the giant whale and the big kraken, but they had already been used by Shen Yuan as sacrifices to summon Ouroboros. No, Lily Marlene was also sacrificed.
Shen Yuan said lightly, “And Ouroboros.”
Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t help but ask, “What about that giant whale and that big kraken?”
Shen Yuan said slowly, “Probably ran off to the instance world to play in the water together.”
Xiao Tangqiu’s mouth twitched, that’s not right! Those two seemed to have had a very bad relationship previously! How could they go hand in hand to the instance world to play in the water! …Or should he first sigh with emotion that the benefits of being the demon lord’s subordinates were good and that they could be resurrected infinitely?
“Don’t you have any other ones besides Lily Marlene? The humanoid kind?” Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t help but continue to ask, except for Lily Marlene, the others were all pets! If a demon boss only had one witch, it was too shabby, right?
“For me, one subordinate is enough. Anyway, I’m already strong enough.” Shen Yuan said lightly.
Xiao Tangqiu mumbled, “It can’t be just that, how can the big boss come in person at the start of the fight. Don’t they always send a few minions to warm up the scene first, and then the big boss appears at the end? Only one subordinate for the Great Demon King is too shabby, isn’t it? No wait… you don’t even have a single subordinate right now!”
“Is it very shabby?” Shen Yuan paused for a moment, then suddenly changed the conversation, “Since you said that you are our creator, then didn’t you arrange for me to only have one subordinate?”
Xiao Tangqiu, “…” The demon boss’s words were so reasonable he couldn’t refute it.
He thought back to his notebook and it seemed that he really only set one named subordinate for the big demon lord… But that was because he was too lazy to choose names one by one! No one would assume it meant the big boss would only have one subordinate! Even CrayonSh*n-chan’s comedic theatrical filler demon boss had at least three or four subordinates!
“Alright, my treasure room is here.”
As soon as Shen Yuan finished speaking, Xiao Tangqiu was blinded by the treasure room in front of him.
This was a huge room more than a dozen meters tall. It was filled with all kinds of gold and silver jewelry. Every inch of the floor was scattered with gold coins mixed with various rubies, rings, sapphire rings, emerald necklaces, pearl necklaces, unopened treasure chests, and golden keys.
Xiao Tangqiu, “…”
Was this demon boss really not a dragon in cosplay?
He could imagine an evil dragon rolling on a mountain of gold coins and rubbing gold coins on his belly, but he couldn’t imagine what a demon boss did with so many gold coins every day… Counting for fun?
“I want to ask… Do you demons trade gold coins?”
Shen Yuan nodded, “Yes, gold coins are our currency, but I never use gold coins to buy things.”
That’s right! Who would dare to accept the gold coins from the Great Demon King! It would be good enough not to pay a protection fee!
Xiao Tangqiu’s mouth twitched, “Then why are you collecting so many gold coins?”
“It looks good. The gold coins are so shiny, aren’t they beautiful?” Shen Yuan looked serious, he paused and continued, “Since the day I created the real world, it felt like a voice has been saying to me, collect gold coins, collect a lot of gold coins, enough gold coins to roll on.”
Xiao Tangqiu was dumbfounded. Wait! The demon boss liking collecting gold coins seemed to be a setting that he wrote on the notebook back then because he thought that the demon boss must have a hobby or two in addition to conquering the world. So he wrote in the book that he liked to collect gold coins, which not only conformed to the style and character of a demon boss but also became a reasonable excuse for the demon boss to conquer the world. To collect more gold coins!
The more Xiao Tangqiu thought about it, the less he dared to think about it. The more he thought about it, the more terrified he felt, because looking at it every which way, no matter what angle he looked at, he felt that this demon boss really seemed to be his character!
Did this demon boss really come from his writing? Was this great demon really created by him?
If he hadn’t just said that he was the real creator of this world, which aroused the great demon’s interest, would the great demon have killed him? Wasn’t that the equivalent of him being killed by his character? Wasn’t that just indirectly killing himself?
Shen Yuan looked at Xiao Tangqiu’s expression with interest, and then he raised one corner of his lips and smiled, “…I’ll take you to visit other places in the palace.”
Xiao Tangqiu was already a little absent-minded. He sat on Ouroboros in a daze and visited the living room of the great demon, the kitchen of the great demon, the bedroom of the great demon, and the various entertainment venues of the great demon… All the rooms in the palace were installed with huge electronic screens, their function was probably to allow the demon boss to watch live streams 24 hours a day.
Xiao Tangqiu watched the current live stream progress with a very complicated mood, and saw that the City of the Abyss was now completely emptied by the invading demon army. Not even a corpse was left. The demon army wandered the streets of the City of the Abyss, frolicking and showing off.
He couldn’t help but feel lost. If the Abyss Demon was really the great demon he created with his own hands, were the sins committed by the Abyss Demon also indirectly related to him? He created this demon with his own hands, he created this world with his own hands, he created all of this with his own hands…
Tang Mianmian, Yu Fuling, Sai Lulu, Xue Junli, Duan Hongzhen… There were also many, many people whose names he didn’t know. Were these people’s deaths because of him? Although he was not the murderer who personally killed these people, he personally created the murderer. These people were all killed by the Abyss Demon, but he was the one who created the Abyss Demon!
Xiao Tangqiu was almost overwhelmed by the weight of the speculation. At this moment, he suddenly noticed that one screen was black.
Shen Yuan seemed to notice his gaze, smiled, and explained, “That’s your live stream room, but unfortunately you no longer live stream. I’ve sent you barrage before and gave you a few props.”
Xiao Tangqiu glanced blankly at Shen Yuan, so all his props were rewarded by the demon boss? It turned out that when “Shen Yuan” fought side by side with them, the godly “Shen Yuan” was watching the live stream of it all from the city on the cloud and even sent a few barrages through his live stream room from time to time, feeling no itch or pain while rewarding a few props.
Xiao Tangqiu fell into silence, Shen Yuan didn’t mind Xiao Tangqiu’s unresponsiveness and continued to lead him, “The top viewing platform can overlook the entire real world, I’ll show you.”
After a while, they came to the viewing platform at the top of the demon king’s palace. As Shen Yuan said, he could see the entire real world while standing on the viewing platform.
This city above the clouds was spectacular and beautiful, but Xiao Tangqiu was in no mood to appreciate it at all.
At this moment, Shen Yuan casually said, “It’s getting dark, I’m going to rest. You can also go to rest. There are many rooms in the palace, you can choose any room to rest, or you can continue to explore the palace. Feel free to explore any of the rooms…
“But—” He suddenly paused, took a deep look at Xiao Tangqiu, and said in a low voice, “You have to remember, you must never enter the room at the end of the corridor on the top floor. Remember, never enter. ”
Xiao Tangqiu was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, “What will happen if I go in?”
Shen Yuan raised his eyebrows, “You can’t know.”
Xiao Tangqiu, “…Oh?”
Shen Yuan gave a small smile, “Anyway, you have to remember, never enter the room at the end of the corridor.
“Never enter…”
