Chapter 313 - 313: Seeking Aid (Part 1)
Wang Mang really felt tired.
If he had the capability, he would have accepted this mission long ago.
Doing anything at this point was akin to suicide!
This was simply making things difficult for him!
However, seeing the pleading faces of his compatriots, Wang Mang could not remain silent.
He also knew that escaping Earth was not really a feasible option. It was just something he did to comfort himself. While he felt that he would be able to survive in space, his family could not.
As an existence close to the apex of the demon emperor realm, he was mostly immune to the problems of survival brought about by different environments.
Demon emperors could already live in water, in the air, and even underground, and he was approaching the land immortal level. The same could not be said for ordinary humans.
“Sigh, it seems like I really can’t escape. I have to solve this problem somehow.”
“In any case, we’re all in this boat together.”
After Wang Mang muttered to himself for a while, he made a decision.
He did not believe that the combined power of all the experts on Earth could not resolve this disaster.
After all, there were still 60 experts on Earth stronger than he was!
‘F*ck it! Here goes nothing!’
“System, I choose Mission 3!”
[Ding! Congratulations! Successfully selected a mission option! Please complete the mission as soon as possible to obtain the reward!]
After hearing the system’s voice, Wang Mang felt an inexplicable bitterness in his heart. He did not feel very happy, nor motivated, as he did not know how to complete this mission.
Of course, that was what he thought. He could not say it out loud in front of all of these people and their expectant gazes.
Wang Mang sighed deeply.
“How about this? I’ll do my best.”
“Spread the news.”
“It’s best if all the demon emperors know about this matter!”
“After all, my strength alone is not enough. I need everyone’s strength.”
“In addition, this news must be spread to the marine demon emperors!”
“They have more experts, and are much stronger than those of us on land.”
After hearing Wang Mang’s instructions, the white-haired old man who was in the lead said to him respectfully, “Lord Guardian Beast, don’t worry. We will definitely accomplish this matter. We will also inform the various empires of the world.”
“Thank you, Lord Guardian Beast, for not giving up on us. I thank you on behalf of all our compatriots in the Red Empire!”
“However, Lord Guardian Beast, in order to prevent the world from descending into panic and chaos, we cannot make this matter public.”
“Only after the disaster is resolved will we inform the world of your great deeds, Lord Guardian Beast.”
Wang Mang was speechless. It was too early to talk about such things. The most important matter was to resolve this crisis!
“Go quickly! Tell the demon emperors about my words and about the seriousness of this matter.”
“I believe that after finding out, they won’t stand by and watch. After all, this is something that involves the fate of the world.”
The group then departed to carry out his instructions.
After they left, Wang Mang began to seriously ponder what to do, and in the end decided to head out to sea first.
Before leaving he gave a few instructions to his subordinates, and then took on his massive form. This time, six wings emerged from his body, as he soared into the sky, leaving gale force winds in his wake.
Then, like a black stream of light, Wang Mang quickly disappeared into the horizon. It was time to meet an old friend.
An hour later, above the boundless sea, Wang Mang arrived at the sea region where the Sea Dragon King resided.
After circling in the sky for a while, he saw the colossal figure of the Sea Dragon King appear, staring at him coldly.
Uh…
It seemed that it did not recognize him. Furthermore, the Sea Dragon King was very vigilant due to his powerful demonic aura.
The Sea Dragon King asked warily, “Demon Emperor, you’re not from the marine race, right?”
“You and I have no grudges against each other. Why have you come looking for me?”
Wang Mang did not know whether to laugh or cry after hearing these words. It seemed that it was becoming more and more difficult for others to recognize him.
It made sense though, given how drastic the changes to his body were every time he changed his template.
Therefore, he said helplessly, “Brother Sea Dragon King, don’t you remember me?”
“I’m Brother Python! Some time ago, I was chased into the sea and asked you for help!”
After hearing Wang Mang’s words, the Sea Dragon King was stunned. After sizing up Wang Mang for a moment, he sneered.
“I do know a Brother Python. However, the Brother Python I know is a great demon king, not a demon emperor!”
“I met him a few months ago, and he was still a great demon king. Do you really think I’m a fool?”
“Are you really going to pretend to be a great demon king? You seem to have evil intentions!”
