"The Demon Lord's and Senior Long Kong's strengths both reached the absolute peak of the Desolate Realm. The reason the Demon Lord was successfully killed that time was largely because Senior Long Kong held the Demon Lord in check, allowing powerhouses from the other realms to join forces and ultimately annihilate the Demon race and slay the Demon Lord. But now, Senior Long Kong has been gone for a thousand years. There is no longer a Long Kong in the Desolate Realm."
Xiao Zining's eyes drooped slightly. The unspoken meaning was: without Long Kong, would they still be able to keep the reviving Demon Lord in check?
This question, he believed, had appeared in the minds of the rulers of every realm in the Desolate Realm. If they lacked the absolute certainty to kill the Demon Lord, it was better not to provoke him; perhaps that would leave a glimmer of survival.
