"So, your way of saving the demon race is to become the Human Sovereign's dog?" Bull Demon King mocked.
"There's nothing wrong with being a dog." Siming spoke casually. "The demon race was inherently a patchwork definition, a group forcibly cobbled together for survival. Cat demons and rat demons, wolf demons and sheep demons—do you think those weak races have no grievances in their hearts? Submitting to humanity might let them live better than they did among the demon race. Besides, don't you have the Water-Splitting Golden-Eyed Beast as your mount? What, does the Water-Splitting Golden-Eyed Beast not count as part of the demon race?"
"Uh, I..." Bull Demon King was momentarily speechless. He looked toward Jiao Demon King. "Old Bull here isn't good with words. Second Brother, you talk to him."
"Me?" Jiao Demon King froze for a moment, but did not refuse. "You say the Demon Empress might not be able to protect the demon race. Can the Human Sovereign? No matter how strong he is, he's only in the Creation Realm. He hasn't reached the other shore yet."
Siming said, "If Master breaks through, he will surely become the strongest being on the other shore in this world. Naturally, he will be better able to protect you than the Demon Empress. If Master does not break through, then he will not be involved in the struggle for the Dao Fruit. Tell me, which being on the other shore would risk offending Master?"
"Eh, that does seem right." Jiao Demon King was stunned. In the past, no matter how powerful someone in the Creation Realm was, they could only be a chess piece. The only difference was whether they were a pawn or a rook. Yet that Sacred Emperor clearly already had the qualifications to become a player.
