What Did the Human Race Do?

Yuanshi raised his brows and said, "Of course I'm dissatisfied. This is the Witch-Demon Calamity. What are those humans doing meddling in it?"

Tongtian neither agreed nor disagreed. "The Demon Race has oppressed the human race for years. What they've done is understandable."

Yuanshi glanced at the silent Laozi. "Since Luo Xuan is Eldest Brother's first disciple, he naturally represents the Three Pure Ones."

"If others learn that he led the human race into the Witch-Demon Calamity, what will the people of the Prehistoric World think of us?"

Tongtian rubbed his chin and retorted, "The humans help the Witch Clan refine pills, while the Witch Clan protects the humans. It benefits both sides. I think it's quite good."

"Luo Xuan is a man who values loyalty and affection. His Dao heart is broad-minded and clear."

Yuanshi found himself unable to argue further and could only turn to Laozi. "Eldest Brother, what do you think?"

Laozi stroked his beard and said, "Third Brother has a point."

"Besides, merely helping the human race refine pills is somewhat insufficient. Helping the Witch Clan refine pills may allow him to make even greater progress in the Pill Dao."

Yuanshi was somewhat helpless.

Ever since Laozi had accepted Luo Xuan as his disciple, the two had hit it off perfectly.

Even after finishing his cultivation, whenever Laozi mentioned Luo Xuan, he showered him with praise.

"Eldest Brother, Luo Xuan is participating in the Witch-Demon Calamity. Aren't you worried that something might happen to him?"

Laozi smiled unconcernedly. "How can one strive for greatness without experiencing hardship? A little adversity is good for young people."

Yuanshi asked curiously, "We all know Luo Xuan's talent. What if Di Jun makes a move against him?"

"He dares? Luo Xuan is my first disciple. That means he represents the dignity of the Three Pure Ones."

Laozi's expression remained impassive. "If Di Jun truly makes a move against Luo Xuan, then I think the Demon Emperor of the Heavenly Court should be replaced."

Yuanshi was left speechless.

At that moment, the Heavenly Court had already gathered a massive number of demons, with countless others rushing over as well.

The news of the Demon Race's defeat at the hands of the Witch Clan had long since spread throughout the Heavenly Court.

All the demons were dispirited, unable to understand why Di Jun had summoned them.

Just as they were wondering, Di Jun appeared before them in his imperial robes.

"My sons of the Demon Race, not long ago, our Demon Race lost to the Witch Clan. Are you willing to accept that?"

"We're not!"

The response to Di Jun was a thunderous roar like a landslide and tsunami.

Di Jun nodded and shouted, "Do you know why we lost?"

"Because of the human race!"

As soon as those words fell, a commotion erupted among the demons.

They thought they had misheard him.

Was he talking about the human race they imagined?

How was that possible?!

"You heard correctly. It was precisely because of the human race!"

"They refined pills for the Witch Clan, causing our Demon Race to suffer a crushing loss."

"Kill them all!"

When they thought of the human race they had once bullied and oppressed at will, yet which was now helping the Witch Clan, all the demons let out furious roars.

Di Jun raised a hand to calm them. "The human race was created by Empress Wa, and they are also members of our Demon Race."

"This time, we are marching on Shouyang Mountain to bring the human race into our Demon Race."

Gui Che stepped forward and said, "The human race's pills can make the Witch Clan's bodies tougher."

"If they refine pills for our Demon Race, destroying the Witch Clan will be as easy as turning over a hand!"

The demons' eyes lit up one after another.

Many of the demons had participated in the previous battle and had personally experienced the difference.

The thought that they could also possess such formidable strength caused the blood of every demon to surge.

Di Jun gazed toward Shouyang Mountain and shouted in a deep voice.

"Those unwilling to refine pills for our Demon Race will be killed without exception!"

"Roar!!!"

The demons grew even more excited, bloodlust flashing in their eyes.

Seeing the demons' high morale, Di Jun gave Tai Yi a slight nod.

Tai Yi immediately understood and summoned the Chaos Bell.

"Clang!"

The deep bell toll resounded through the heavens, and the vast army of demons flew out of the Heavenly Court.

The enormous commotion in the Heavenly Court alarmed the entire Prehistoric World.

Countless powerful beings opened their eyes.

"Di Jun and Tai Yi have made quite a grand display."

"With so many demons, are they planning to battle the Witch Clan?"

"No, wait. Judging by their direction, it seems to be... Shouyang Mountain."

Everyone was astonished.

Some of the powerful beings were even more shocked.

Di Jun and Tai Yi were both quasi-saints. With so many demons accompanying them, even the Witch Clan would have to treat this cautiously.

If it were any of them, they probably would not last even half a quarter of an hour.

What had the human race done to offend the Heavenly Court that it had mobilized such overwhelming forces?

There was a faintly smug look in Di Jun's eyes, and he did not care at all about the gazes of those powerful beings.

He even wanted more people to see it.

He wanted everyone to know the fate of opposing his Heavenly Court!

Soon, the Demon Race's army arrived at Shouyang Mountain.

Every member of the human race was stunned.

"The Demon Race..."

When had they ever seen so many demons? They all stood rooted to the spot, their faces filled with the terror of people witnessing the apocalypse.

The Three Ancestors appeared at the first opportunity. Their expressions turned solemn at the sight before them.

"Are you the Three Ancestors of the human race?"

With a flash, Gui Che appeared before the Three Ancestors, hatred flickering in his eyes.

If not for the human race, he would never have ended up in such a sorry state before Kuafu.

Suiren Shi nodded. "That's right. What does your Heavenly Court want?"

Gui Che sneered coldly. "Human race, from this moment on, submit to my Heavenly Court."

At this moment, Gui Che had already thought of dozens of ways to torture the human race.

He would make them refine pills for the Demon Race day and night!

If they were too slow, he would make them wish they were dead!

Suiren Shi narrowed his eyes and shook his head. "Impossible!"

Gui Che's eyes instantly narrowed, and killing intent spread through the air in an instant.

"Human race, our Demon Emperor is watching from above. I'll give you one more chance."

"Submit, or be destroyed."

Suiren Shi shook his head without hesitation. "We remember everything the Demon Race has done to us."

"Our human race is irreconcilable with you. A bunch of beasts actually want us to submit!"

Suiren Shi's tone was utterly resolute.

"You're courting death!"

A chill flashed through Gui Che's eyes, and he struck the Three Ancestors with his palm.

A phantom image of a massive palm immediately appeared in the air.

The Three Ancestors' expressions changed, and they all summoned their merit-based spirit treasures.

Ziyi Clan manifested a treasured armor around the body and stood at the very front, while the other two circulated their internal mana to resist.

"Fireflies dare to compete with the radiance of the bright moon?"

A trace of mockery flashed through Gui Che's eyes.

"Boom!"

As the aura churned, the Three Ancestors were sent flying backward, their eyes unfocused.

Gui Che clearly had no intention of letting them go. He chased after the three of them.

At that moment, the corner of Gui Che's eye caught sight of something flying toward him, and an alarm instantly rose in his heart.

Gui Che decisively stopped.

The Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler flashed past right in front of Gui Che.

"Grand Ancestor!"

Luo Xuan immediately flew out and caught the three of them.
