The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

They all had illustrious pasts, a decisive willingness to achieve their goals by any means, ambition beyond the ordinary... and a fading faith and desire for control as time passed.

If nothing unexpected happens, his lifespan would not be less than that guy's, and if he wanted, there would be no problem in living indefinitely.

It's hard for him not to worry that one day in the future, he would become someone he once despised.

The future is unknowable.

But one thing is certain, if it happens, almost no one could stop him...

This is true from both a power and strength perspective.

It is both his cloak and his cocoon.

Atlant understood the expression on Caesar's face, nodded slightly, and said with certainty.

"You are overthinking, sir. I believe that if it is you, you will definitely not become like that."

Caesar waved his hand, chuckled softly, "No need to flatter me. I often reflect on whether I am sometimes too stubborn... or perhaps, too controlling."

He leaned back on the chair, his gaze lingering on the map of the Demon City's territory displayed on the wall, his fingers slowly tapping on the armrest.

"It's not a feeling I had only today, but only recently have I started to seriously consider this issue... Our world ultimately belongs to the young demons."

Demons' lifespans are too long.

In the blink of an eye, several generations of humans have passed, yet they remain the same.

Perhaps this is also why they cannot defeat the Aus Empire.

Even with the upper hand in the Blood Red Wilderness battles, he cannot optimistically regard it as a turning point in this millennia-long war.

After all, such coincidences have occurred too often in the river of time; they have had the upper hand repeatedly, even pushing the flames of war to the outskirts of the Holy City, but in the end, it all became just another chapter in the Aus Empire's never-ending epic.

How long could the advantage of the Magic Crystal Cannon last?

He couldn't say for sure.

Atlant was silent for a while, then finally murmured, "Sir, your perspective is already far broader than most demons. I think you don't need to be overly anxious... just leave the future to time; we have lived this way for a thousand years. It's not just us, the humans on the surface are no different, are they?"

"Perhaps."

Caesar sighed softly, paused for a moment, then his sharp and profound gaze suddenly turned to the window.

"Besides, these days I've been thinking, perhaps it's time for Roxey to inherit a portion of my things."

The cabinet is still too distant for him.

But the title of Colin Duchy should be just right.

Anyway, that title isn't so important to me anymore, but for Roxey, it's a good opportunity for growth.

As for himself.

A baron's title is sufficient.

Hearing Caesar's words, a trace of surprise flashed in Atlant's eyes.

He pondered for a while, choosing his words carefully before speaking, "It's not fitting for me to meddle in your family affairs... but isn't that child still immature?"

Using the word "child" clearly indicated his attitude; he didn't think highly of Roxey.

Though the Colin family has a mature Elder Council mechanism, which greatly limits a foolish Family Head, a weak Family Head can still make the Colin family's allies uneasy.

Falling in love with a human is not a problem, that this human is a member of the clergy is also not a problem, and even playing the role of a devoted lover is not a big deal... the Padric Family has been doing this for a long time, and no demon sees it as an issue.

However, Roxey's problem is that a little emotional turmoil renders him unable to move on... who can bear that?

Caesar heard the hesitation in his words, but only smiled faintly with a comforting tone.

"Not necessarily. I didn't have much faith in him earlier, but recently... I suddenly find that this brat isn't all that disagreeable."

Atlant was momentarily speechless, unable to help but silently retort in his heart — that's your son, your Highness.

You're okay if you yourself find him disagreeable?

Yet, he did not say more, merely bowing his head respectfully.

"Since you've made up your mind, I have nothing more to say... the Hephis Family will always respect your choice."

"Thank you."

Caesar smiled and continued unhurriedly.

"In any case, let's take it slow, it's not like I said he should take over from tomorrow onwards, but some things he can gradually start to try, which counts as my evaluation of him as well."

At this point, Caesar paused for a moment, answering Atlant's earlier statement.

"...Moreover, if I never take that step, he will forever remain a child."

"He should be my continuation, not another me."

...

The butterfly of fate flapped its wings subtly.

At this moment, Roxey did not know that the one thing he had decided to do without hesitation in the past decade, not only did not worsen his situation, but changed his father's long-held prejudice against him—

This lad does have some backbone when needed, and isn't weak at every turn.

This was something he hadn't anticipated.

Moreover, Roxey hadn't expected that, although Vivian gave the key of the Initial Embrace to Luo Yan, the latter hadn't used this key to embrace the Colin Family bloodline but instead enhanced his Soul Level through other means... unwittingly achieving the same result.
