The Reborn Demon King Girl

She just wanted to watch her children grow up and see them pave their own path to the future.

So, she drew the line clearly: "Wise King, I'm just an ordinary woman."

The once Vampire Queen defined herself: "You don't have to pay attention to me. I will never hinder your steps. What you need to do should only be guessed by Mohe and felt by Doro, but I will not respond to any of your expectations."

"...I understand."

The Wise King understood Lisidorwei's meaning. She finally knew the thoughts of this Vampire Queen herself, even though it did not align with her true needs, this trip wasn't for nothing.

"My children will be more outstanding than yours."

"I'm not concerned about these."

"But the children will care. As they grow, they will be young, energetic, passionate, and inevitably there will be conflict among them."

Lisidorwei fell silent.

The Wise King turned away: "You'd better reconsider the matter of nurturing children. Doro wants Adriana to teach her—that woman is indeed erudite but... she doesn't understand people."

It's hard to say what intention the Wise King had in saying this, but Lisidorwei knew, even if she wanted to cut it off, as the queen of the only king, burdened with the weight of this world, these things are unavoidable, the children...

Mohe returned from outside the world.

She recently had some busy engagements, now aiding Adeline in her research, it seems her human alchemy has reached a very crucial point.

In response to Doro's expectations, the research was embarked upon, but Mohe wasn't very optimistic about it—Adeline is a person with extraordinary talent, Mohe once had high hopes for her, she repeatedly affirmed Adeline's conception of the Earthly Heaven, regarding it as a genius creation.

Furthermore, now that "angels" serve as samples, perhaps there will be nothing better than that.

But Adeline still chose human alchemy.

Mohe wasn't against the technique, just unpleasant past events plagued his thoughts—a favored alchemist almost destroyed everything around him through human alchemy, spreading calamity through the world, had Mohe ignored it, the ultimate result would have been "the end of intelligent life."

Now it seems, Adeline treads on the path to repeat history.

She didn't plan to offer any reminders.

Just quietly collaborating with Adeline's actions, giving her whatever materials she needs, aiding in solving her queries, or engaging in mutual discussions.

"Mohe, do you think human alchemy could succeed?"

"Are you asking me? Why not look more at the World Tree; I believe it will provide answers, since theoretically speaking, the initial life forms were creations of the World Tree, excluding me and the Goddess. As for human alchemy, why not consider it as the alchemy capable of creating everything? But there is a fundamental difference, the World Tree cannot achieve your current extent, it shall not grant any life such strength. Such life from its inception should not be a species, but rather an entity akin to me and the Goddess."

She blinked, seeming to pierce through the mysteries within Adeline: "If we consider ourselves as Natural Gods, then you ought to be an Artificial God. Of course, you are still far from it."

Adeline asked again: "How much time do you think I need?"

"At least twenty years? If all goes smoothly, well, if not, then the timeframe is uncertain."

"By then, the world will undergo significant changes."

Mohe looked puzzled: "Why do you say that?"

"Power has already shifted, hasn't it? Look at now, hasn't the White Church commenced its self-division? Because Charlette brought the news of the Goddess' demise, some intended for Charlette to become the new Goddess, while others scolded her as a desecrator—in twenty years, such matters are bound to settle by then, and at that time, Lu Lu'an will have grown up, as will the Wise King's children, conflicts surrounding the children, I've even seen wars."

"So, why do you say the world will change greatly?"

"Eh?"

Mohe spread out her hands: "Isn't nothing changed at all? Since the birth of intelligent life, the world has been like this, never altering, it was so in the past, it will be so in the future. I don't see any difference from now, do you think there is no struggle now, and the world is at peace? My conflicts with Mr. Doro persist, only temporarily calm."

This person is always like this; she doesn't shy away from her attitudes and goals, but her actions always leave you confused, as if these words are just spoken, until one day, you realize this person has completed what she intended to do, she never even lied.

Therefore, no one can dismiss Mohe's words as a joke.

"Do you think, over long years, you might fall in love with Doro?"

"I said before, I like him very much, there's no doubt about it, there's no one in the world who likes him more than I do, even you all, even Lisidorwei, I don't understand what significance your question has."

"Let me rephrase... If Doro were to die, what would you feel, for instance, if one day, you killed Doro."

Mohe showed a smile, as if she already saw that moment's scene: "Ah~ that would be such magnificent thing, if Mr. Doro were successfully killed by me, I think, I would be extremely delighted, think carefully about it! If I possess the power to defeat Mr. Doro, that proves, I have truly stepped forward again, reached higher realms, in what I believed to be the limits, to continue advancing, is there anything more joyous than that? I think not."

She looked forward to it, yearning: "If it were so, then I would definitely..."

She did not say what followed, Adeline couldn't comprehend the significance for Mohe if she indeed defeated Doro, but she realized—this person would not mourn over Doro's demise, even if she and Doro had weathered so much, even if Doro loved Mohe so dearly, Mohe's feelings towards Doro, created a sense of sadness.

"Seems like the Dwarf King plans to abdicate." Adeline suddenly mentioned this matter, "From this period onward, power succession has already begun."

"Oh? The Dwarf King's abdication, I should talk to Mr. Doro, let the dwarves develop the brewing industry more afterwards, compared to the techniques of years ago, although other things advanced well, yet brewing got worse and worse, more displeasing, modern dwarves can't settle down to brew! Some dwarves used to gamble their lives to brew a single barrel of wine!"

She handed some materials to Adeline: "Don't mind these, I'm off to find Mr. Doro, you just continue your research."

The carefree, liberated Demon King living in this world, had too little importance to her, and even if it were captured by her sight, the things she deemed significant, never truly settled in her heart.

Adeline had actually given up a while ago.

Over feelings for Doro, she knew, she long lost the entitlement to desire them, hence she hoped for Doro to gain the happiness he sought, Doro likes Mohe, if Mohe could like Doro... that would surely be a blissful thing.

But this was indeed far too difficult.

For a being like Mohe, how at all, could she fall in love with someone?

If she truly bore a child with Doro, would that change anything? For such a great existence that created countless lives, for her, was birthing a child any different from directly creating one?

She didn't know.
