"What about the other two demon emperors? Tell me about their situation," Zhou Hong asked Chaotian Demon Emperor while waiting.
"They are the most ancient demon emperors, they rarely show themselves. Besides me, no one in the Demon Realm can see them, and even I cannot see them whenever I wish."
Zhou Hong nodded and asked again, "If I want to unify the Demon Realm, do you think they will agree?"
"I'm not sure about that, but I don't think they will have any objections, because they don't have any opinions on how the Demon Realm should operate, they don't even care. The last time I went to see them, I told them that I deduced someone would unify the Demon Realm, and they just hummed 'oh'."
"So calm?" Zhou Hong was somewhat surprised.
"They are the most ancient demon emperors, and also female, so they have no desire to dominate, hence their calmness."
Zhou Hong couldn't help but freeze. He had assumed they were two old men, but he didn't expect them to be female.
"The strongest two in the Demon Realm are actually women, I didn't expect that," Zhou Hong chuckled.
"Not only that, they are also extremely beautiful," Chaotian Demon Emperor added.
Upon hearing the word "beautiful," Zhou Hong's eyes lit up.
"Impossible, right? They are already demon emperors, how can they still be beautiful?"
"Yes, extremely beautiful, and they are also very good friends."
Zhou Hong chuckled and asked, "Then why didn't you ever try to hit on them? Since they are women and have lived for so long, they must be lonely, right?"
Chaotian Demon Emperor broke out in a cold sweat and quickly said, "How would I dare? They could crush me with a single finger. Besides, how do you know they don't have partners? They each have their own sub-worlds, perhaps there are countless men in their sub-worlds already."
Zhou Hong nodded with a wry smile. It was true, just as Zhou Hong had his relatives in his sub-world, it was impossible for them not to have loved ones in their own sub-worlds. As women who had lived for who knows how many billions of years, it would be absurd to say they were still pure and flawless.
"There's one more thing, I'm not sure if I should say it, as it's just my guess," Chaotian Demon Emperor suddenly said.
"What guess?"
"Regarding the Supreme Demon Emperor and the Eternal Demon Emperor."
"Speak."
"I've met them several times. Although they are women, their relationship... always feels a bit... not normal."
"How is it not normal?"
"I can't explain it clearly. I always feel they don't interact purely as friends. Once, when I went to see them, I accidentally saw them crossing their legs under the table."
Zhou Hong frowned slightly and asked deeply, "What do you mean by crossing their legs?"
"It's like this, they were sitting opposite each other across the table. The table had a surrounding cloth, so you couldn't see underneath. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the cloth on one side lifted slightly. I suddenly saw that both of them had one leg extended to the other's." Chaotian Demon Emperor paused at this point.
"Extended to the other's what? Don't speak in fragments, finish your sentence." Zhou Hong could already guess where they had extended their legs.
"That's what you know!" Chaotian Demon Emperor seemed afraid to continue, assuming Zhou Hong had understood.
Zhou Hong couldn't help but sit down on a stool, taking a deep breath. He never expected that these two demon emperors, the Supreme Demon Emperor and the Eternal Demon Emperor, whom he hadn't met yet, would do such things. They dared to use their feet to touch each other under the table in front of Chaotian Demon Emperor, so what would they do in private?
"Hahaha, hahaha." Zhou Hong burst into laughter.
"Senior Zhou Hong, please don't tell them, or they will kill me," Chaotian Demon Emperor said, breaking out in a cold sweat, and quickly kowtowed to plead.
"Don't worry."
Thus, time slowly passed, and one by one, many demon emperors returned.
Zhou Hong sat at the top with narrowed eyes. The returning demon emperors were first surprised to see Zhou Hong, and some even wanted to rush forward. However, they then saw that Zhou Hong was sitting on a stool, while Chaotian Demon Emperor dared not sit and stood to the side. This made them confused, and those who wanted to capture Zhou Hong no longer dared to act rashly.
Half a day passed quickly. Zhou Hong opened his eyes and surveyed the scene. Over a hundred demon emperors stood before him.
"Are all the demon emperors back?" Zhou Hong asked.
"Reporting to senior, there are a total of 139 demon emperors in the Demon Realm, and all of them have returned," Chaotian Demon Emperor said respectfully.
"Very good."
Zhou Hong nodded and looked at everyone, saying, "Everyone, you probably are not strangers to me. I am Zhou Hong, whom you have been looking for these past eight years. Eight years ago, this Chaotian Demon Emperor deduced that I would unify the Demon Realm. At the time, I didn't believe it, but I didn't expect it to be true. I will be straightforward with you now: I intend to unify the Demon Realm. Do you have any objections?"
A wave of commotion swept through all the demon emperors. They whispered among themselves, their emotions seemingly intense. After all, each demon emperor was once their own ruler, enjoying a king's life. Now that Zhou Hong wanted to unify the Demon Realm, they would no longer have their former royal lives and would become subjects.
"I know you are all unconvinced, but it's alright, I will give you a chance. As long as you can defeat me, I will abandon the idea of unifying the Demon Realm. However, before we fight, I will show you some of my strength." As Zhou Hong spoke, he unleashed his aura. In an instant, like a stormy surge, the over a hundred demon emperors before him were all blown down like saplings in a strong wind by Zhou Hong's released aura. Even Chaotian Demon Emperor swayed unsteadily, while those with less than 50 stars of power were sent flying several hundred meters away.
Everyone was shocked. Zhou Hong had merely released his aura, and it had knocked them down. If he were to truly exert his strength, he could probably annihilate them in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, many of the demon emperors who were inwardly defiant suddenly came to their senses. Against such a powerful being, their defiance was simply laughable.
Zhou Hong let out a laugh and retracted his aura. The scene gradually returned to calm.
"Everyone, now, those who believe they have the strength to contend with me, please raise your hands," Zhou Hong shouted.
Silence fell upon the scene. Everyone lowered their heads, seemingly afraid of being singled out by Zhou Hong.
"Very good. That means no one opposes my unification of the Demon Realm. Then, let's discuss how we will unify the Demon Realm," Zhou Hong said with a hearty laugh.
