Lin Yan spent nearly half a month watching the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.
Only after seeing that no danger would descend for the time being did he turn around and return to the Heavenly Palace.
Nevertheless, he hurriedly rushed into the Heavenly Palace's Library just when he returned to the Heavenly Palace.
"The Book of Phoenix Secrets." Lin Yan muttered under his breath and quickly searched for this book in the mountain pile of books.
As he was a regular visitor, he was most familiar with each book here.
'The Book of Phoenix Secrets' - He had previously read this book. However, he didn't take it seriously back then.
When he urgently needed this book, he couldn't find it for some time.
But thankfully, after searching for a while, Lin Yan was finally able to find the book recording the various secrets of the Phoenix.
...

"Big Stone did look for a way to recover my memory." The Demon Queen's body trembled slightly.
At a glance, she could see Lin Yan's intention. However, her expression turned somewhat gloomy in the next second.
"How great it would be if Big Stone found a way to restore my memory then."
She knew very well that Lin Yan hadn't found a way to recover her memory. If not, she wouldn't have recovered her memory until this moment.
Nevertheless, Lin Yan, within the Lingering Treasure Mirror, opened the Book of Phoenix Secrets, and the content instantly caught the Demon Queen's attention.
…
Lin Yan carefully looked over the contents of the Phoenix secret. Especially the content about the Phoenix recovering its memory.
"After the Phoenix nirvana, it's like being reborn. It's extremely difficult to recover the memories of its past life..."
"To make a reborn Phoenix recover its memory, there are three methods."
"The first method consumes half of the Phoenix's life span and forces them to awaken its memories."
"The second method consumes half of the Phoenix's cultivation base and forcefully awakens its memories, and the lost cultivation base can never be recovered."
"The third method, the Phoenix will gradually remember some memories of past lives as time passes. If something is used related to its past life, it will stimulate the Phoenix and will have a high chance of recovering its memories."
The first two of these three methods weren't good for the Phoenix.
But, the last one was to wait for an unknown amount of time until Phoenix recovered its memory.
Gradually, looking over the content of the book of Phoenix secrets in his hand, Lin Yan's face was gloomy.
…
(In front of the Linglong Treasure Mirror)
The Demon Queen's body trembled more and more.
"Stupid, so stupid… Big Stone, even if I lose half of my lifespan or either half of my cultivation base, I'm still willing to recover my memory sooner." The Demon Queen mumbled to herself.
Instead of waiting until ten thousand years passed, she would prefer to get her memories restored ten thousand years ago.
She was left with countless regrets when she recovered her memory. But also, she knew Lin Yan didn't want her to get hurt, so he dropped the idea of forcibly recovering her memory. So, he chose to wait patiently in the end.
In the long-lasting wait of ten thousand years, she never even once waited for her memory to be restored.
This kind of feeling caused the Demon Queen's heart to once again burst into pain.
Along with this pain, endless guilt emerged in the Demon Queen's heart.
"Big Stone refused to hurt me even the slightest, yet I'm still hesitating whether to save him or not…."
Momentarily, the Phoenix flames within her body faintly surged out.
Turning her head around, she could see the Demon Saints giving her a pleading look to avoid being impulsive, while the humans feared her.
"Big Stone, please wait a little longer. I want everyone to see the kindness you showed to my Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom …and then I will save you." The Demon Queen secretly said in her heart, and the Phoenix flames that emerged from her body disappeared a little.
Seeing the Demon Queen calm down, Lin Feng and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
"The Queen isn't like Yanran. She is now the ruler of the entire Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom. If she wants to save people, her priority is to take care of those countless demon clansmen of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom." Lin Feng let out a sigh of relief in his heart.
Just now, he was a little afraid that the Demon Queen was also like Xiao Yanran and would try to save the Heavenly Emperor.
But the good thing was that the Demon Queen was a thoughtful person and wouldn't be reckless like Xiao Yanran.
…
Just as the Demon Queen expected, Lin Yan ultimately didn't choose to use the first two methods to restore her memory forcefully.
Instead, he chose the third method.
In the days after that, Lin Yan's figure would often appear within the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom.
A person stood silently in the distance, watching over Ni Huang, the Demon Queen.
Seeing that solitary figure standing in the distance, the Demon Queen couldn't help but shed a few tears when she looked at him, "How good it would be if I had recovered my memory then."
At this moment, many demon saints around the mirror vaguely sensed something was wrong.
"The Heavenly Emperor and the Queen are so close. Then why would he kill so many of our demon classmen later?"
"There seems to be something wrong about this. Although the Heavenly Emperor has killed many of our clansmen, he hasn't killed anyone from our Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom."
"There is something fishy about this matter." A few Demon Clan Saints muttered in low voices.
Looking at the scene in the mirror, they hadn't noticed the change in their views about the Heavenly Emperor.
…
Several years passed in a flash.
In the beginning, the newly established Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom was silent and had a slight influence on the Lingxuan Continent.
No one would even notice that there was such a small demon kingdom on the Lingxuan Continent.
However, under the leadership of Ni Huang, the Demon Queen, the country flourished.
Every day, many lower demons came here from all over the Lingxuan Continent to officially become citizens of the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom.
This made the reputation of the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom gain fame.
But the problem was that the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom had only one Saint, the Demon Queen, and there wasn't a second Saint.
Hence, such a weak demon country attracted many malicious eyes.
Looking at the screen within the Linglong Treasure Mirror, even Ni Huang, the Demon Queen, couldn't help but shake her head, "Back then, I was too childish and dared to make a commotion without the strength to do so."
Looking at Lin Yan within the Linglong Treasure Mirror, who was always quietly guarding the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom, she was more confident now that her guess wasn't wrong.
She presumed that the crisis of the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom back then was lifted by Lin Yan. If not, Lin Yan must have another reason for later slaughtering the people of the demon race.
"If all these misunderstandings are explained clearly, then the entire clan of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom will now have to go with me to rescue Big Stone to repay his kindness." The Demon Queen secretly said in her heart.
Although she genuinely cared about the clansmen and her beloved, it was difficult for her to choose both.
However, she could lead one to rescue the other.
Even if she ultimately failed, she wouldn't regret anything.
"Big Stone, wait for me."
…
(Inside the Linglong Treasure Mirror)
At this moment, the scene that appeared was still the scene of the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom. It had already begun to have the appearance of the future Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.
Although there weren't many strong demons yet, everything was flourishing.
Especially those lower demons who could have peace of mind didn't have to worry about their safety here.
This alone was much better than being in other places of the Lingxuan Continent or even other demon kingdoms.
However, unlike these cheerful lower demons, inside the newly constructed Ten Thousand Demons Great Hall, Ni Huang, the Demon Queen, and several demon experts before her were staring anxiously at a war letter in her hands.
"Ah, I didn't expect the first one to strike at our Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom to be another demon kingdom."
"They are trying to swallow our Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom. The conditions they are demanding absolutely cannot be accepted."
"Let's fight the Luo Tu Demon Kingdom to death. We just escaped from other demon kingdoms. We would rather die than return to such demon kingdoms again."
"You guys talk well. The Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom had only one Saint, the Queen. In contrast, the other demon kingdoms had many immortal experts. How can we fight them?"
…
The voices of quarrels could constantly be heard within the Ten Thousand Demons Great Hall.
And the root cause of all this was the war letter they suddenly received today.
The war letter was sent by one of the six remaining demon kingdoms in the Lingxuan Continent, the Luo Tu Demon Kingdom.
The content of the war letter was quite oblivious, stating that it wanted the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom to subdue the Luo Tu Demon Kingdom within a month. If not, the powerhouse of the Luo Tu Demon Kingdom would destroy the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.
The current Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom didn't have the strength to resist experts from the Luo Tu Demon Kingdom.
Even though Ni Huang, the Demon Queen, faced this crisis, she couldn't do anything.
…
(Outside the Linglong Treasure Mirror)
Seeing the demons of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom making a lot of noise, one of the many Demon Saints' voices trembled, "At that time, we were confused. Everyone is worried about the Luo Tu Demon Kingdom's Saints coming after us… But fortunately, the Heavenly Emperor destroyed the six great demon kingdoms just a day before it happened."
"Everyone thought that the Heavenly Emperor wanted to gain fame by killing many immortals. To this day, this matter is the legend of the Lingxuan continent."
"Initially, I was angry at the Heavenly Emperor for exterminating these demon kingdoms. But now, it seems they were exterminated and they completely deserved to die. Ah, if they aren't exterminated, I'm afraid our Ten Thousand Demon Kingdoms would've been destroyed." A group of demon Saints sighed under their breath.
"Wait."
Suddenly, one of the Saints sensed something was wrong and said, "This thing is a little bit wrong. Ah, the Luo Tu Demon Kingdom just gave our Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom a war letter. Then out of nowhere, the Heavenly Emperor suddenly threw a war on these six demon kingdoms and exterminated them."
Hearing this, all the surrounding Demon Saints turned silent at once.
In the past, they would never have believed that the Heavenly Emperor had killed countless demons for the sake of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.
But now that they knew the relationship between the Demon Queen and the Heavenly Emperor, they immediately grew suspicious in their hearts.
Simply by looking at the relationship between the Demon Queen and the Heavenly Emperor, he was very likely to do this.
And finally, all the dots seemed connected and made sense now.
"The Heavenly Emperor has protected our Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom. We owe him a lot for saving the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom." A group of Demon Clan Saints was a bit winded at this moment.
The demon race had always been concerned about getting revenge. But now, if the Heavenly Emperor had secretly done so many things for their Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, shouldn't they be repaying the favor now? Or should they persist in getting revenge?
