Anti-Demon Alliance

As the Demon Race engaged in a chaotic war with various factions of the Primordial World, the overwhelming power of the Demon Race forced these groups to unite and form an alliance to resist them. Slowly, an alliance led by the Asura Race was established. Serving as the vanguard against the demons, they gradually entered a standoff with the Demon Race across the Primordial World!

On the North Sea side, after the last great battle between the Demon Race army and the North Sea demons, the North Sea demons suffered a crushing defeat, and Demon Master Kunpeng was severely wounded!

However, the Demon Court did not fare much better; Eastern Emperor Taiyi was heavily injured, and even Bai Ze and Jiu Ying were severely battered!

Seventy percent of the Demon Race army under their command had been wiped out! It could be said that both sides suffered heavy losses. If not for the timely reinforcements of the other Demon Saints at the final moment, the Demon Race and the North Sea demons would have been considered mutually devastated!

No one expected Kunpeng to be so ferocious, using a suicidal tactic to severely wound three Quasi-Sages! The majority of the casualties in the Demon Race army were also caused by him alone, as he had actually detonated his Evil Corpse, one of his Three Corpses!

Now, the North Sea was essentially crippled!

Boundless Blood Sea

When Old Ancestor Minghe received news of Kunpeng detonating his Evil Corpse, he was shocked by Kunpeng's ruthlessness and decisiveness!

Minghe's decision to oppose the Demon Race was not a rash impulse. Ever since the Wu Race withdrew from the Primordial World, the fortune of heaven and earth had inevitably been seized by the Demon Race. In time, it was highly likely that a Saint would emerge from the Demon Race.

Originally, Minghe did not intend to compete, but ever since Kunpeng took the lead in rebelling against the Demon Race, causing internal chaos, other races had begun to declare independence one after another!

This allowed Minghe to see an opportunity—an opportunity to attain sainthood by seizing the fortune of heaven and earth. Because he was different from other races vying for hegemony in the Primordial World, he was truly only a hair's breadth away from becoming a Saint. He had reached the pinnacle of the Quasi-Sage realm, and no amount of cultivation would help, as he followed the path of attaining the Dao through the Three Corpses.

To become a Saint, one either needed Primordial Violet Qi, immense merit, or the fortune of heaven and earth! He had no other choice.

As for Hongyun, he stayed holed up in Wuzhuang Temple, and Zhenyuanzi's Book of the Earth was a freakish treasure that even Saints dared not attack, let alone him. Primordial Violet Qi was out of reach, and he had already tried merit; now, only the path of fortune remained!

And indeed, ever since the Anti-Demon Alliance was established, he felt as if his own cultivation realm had loosened just a tiny bit! This made him even more determined to see this through!

With a vast amount of magical treasures and spiritual items bestowed, the combat power of the Asura Race was constantly improved, and he even bestowed his Blood God Child divine ability upon them! Under his cost-no-object cultivation, the Asura Race produced five Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals! They were Zizaitian Papiyas, Heavenly Consort Uma, Great Brahma, Yusetian, and Shiva!

With the ongoing struggle against the Demon Race, the Calamity Qi in the Primordial World began to spread slowly. Under the nourishment of this Calamity Qi, the strength of the Demon Race and the Anti-Demon Alliance rapidly drew closer, and the fighting became even more intense!

Ten thousand years passed in the blink of an eye!

During these ten thousand years, after the Human Race recalled their kin, they entered an era of intensive, comprehensive cultivation!

All resources were opened to the clansmen, information began to be shared, and the strength of the Human Race improved rapidly. Even after this, Jiang He still felt uneasy, so he went to Wa Huang Palace to seek help from Empress Nuwa. Over these years, due to the Human Race, Empress Nuwa's strength was second only to Empress Houtu, and even Laozi was no match for her!

To help the Human Race survive this calamity, she refined a Jade Talisman that possessed the power of one of her strikes, enough for the Human Race to protect themselves!

However, relying on his shameless pestering, Jiang He managed to get the Green-skinned Gourd that was used during the creation of humanity from Nuwa! Anyway, Nuwa had no use for it.

Just as Jiang He returned from Empress Nuwa's place, feeling satisfied and proud, the Anti-Demon Alliance came knocking, wanting to invite the Human Race to join them!

The growth of the Human Race's strength over these ten thousand years had been observed by all the major powers in the Primordial World. In these ten thousand years alone, the number of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals had increased significantly. Yet, it felt as if the strength of the Human Race Clan Leader remained at the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal level, with no changes at all!

If Jiang He knew their thoughts, he would surely vomit blood. He cultivated diligently and earnestly, but if his level wouldn't rise, what could he do? Jiang He now treated himself as a tool—a tool for the development of the Human Race—and he had simply laid flat!

Luo Shui City of the Human Race

A team of envoys from the Anti-Demon Alliance stepped into the city. The prosperity of this human city dazzled the eyes of these envoys: orderly buildings, bustling streets, shops selling all kinds of spiritual weapons and treasures, and squads of fully armed patrolling soldiers—it made everyone green with envy!

The leader of the envoys, Brahma of the Asura Race, thought to himself that he must pull the Human Race into the alliance! That way, these resources of the Human Race would belong to the alliance. Just then, massive warships flew across the sky, far larger than the early flying boats of the Human Race. This only strengthened his resolve!

Clan Leader's Main Hall

Jiang He, Jiang Shan, and other high-ranking members of the Human Race met with the envoys of the Anti-Demon Alliance!

"Clan Leader Jiang, we represent the Anti-Demon Alliance this time to invite the Human Race to join us!"

"You also know that the Demon Race is arrogant and tyrannical, causing the creatures of the Primordial World to suffer. Our Anti-Demon Alliance was established specifically to resist the Demon Race!"

"As a force in the Primordial World that cannot be ignored, we formally invite you to participate and contribute to the lives of the Primordial World and the future of your own Human Race!"

As soon as Brahma opened his mouth, he laid out a series of moral high-ground arguments!

Jiang He merely smiled without speaking, quietly acting as a listener. Only after Brahma finished his long speech did Jiang He clear his throat and say, "The Anti-Demon Alliance is indeed at the forefront for all the races of the Primordial World, and my Human Race holds you in great respect. Personally, I am very eager to join the Anti-Demon Alliance."

Everyone was overjoyed to hear that Jiang He was willing to join, but then they heard Jiang He continue.

"However!"

As soon as the word came out, the expressions of everyone changed accordingly.

"However, the development of my Human Race is not as advanced as yours. We have only existed for twenty thousand years at most. Our situation is different from the Asura Race; the Asura Race is born as warriors, but the Human Race is different. Our human infants have no combat power and need to be cared for! Therefore, it is impossible for us to be a nation of soldiers like the Asura Race!"

Jiang He observed the changing expressions of the envoys without leaving a trace, paused, and then added, "So, after careful consideration, we have decided that it is better for the Human Race not to participate!"

As soon as these words were spoken, an envoy with a wolf's head and a human body in the Anti-Demon Alliance team suddenly slammed the table and stood up: "Are you playing with us!"

The expressions of the other envoys were also quite ugly!

Brahma said with a livid face, "I ask the Human Race to carefully consider the consequences of refusing us!"

Facing Brahma's threats, Jiang He did not take them to heart and said indifferently, "I don't want to know the consequences; I only know that this is the order of the Mother Goddess!"

After speaking, Jiang He took out the Jade Talisman he had obtained from Nuwa. A wave of Saintly might immediately enveloped the hall, and everyone hurriedly bowed and saluted the Jade Talisman.

Jiang He looked at the bowing crowd, putting on an act of relying on his superior's power: "See? I have no choice. After all, the Mother Goddess is a Saint, and I dare not disobey her. Why don't you go and ask the Empress yourself!"

Terrified, Brahma hurriedly retreated and kept saying he dared not!

Seeing this, Brahma felt that there was no hope of recruitment, so he intended to take his leave!

"Sigh! Everyone, don't be in such a hurry to leave!" Jiang He called out when he saw them about to depart.

Brahma thought Jiang He was going to humiliate them further, so he turned around and asked angrily, "Clan Leader Jiang, is there anything else!"

"Don't misunderstand! Don't misunderstand! My Human Race has an old saying: even if a deal doesn't go through, the friendship remains. Although we cannot join the Anti-Demon Alliance, we cannot let you all go back empty-handed, can we!"

Brahma heard these words and, although he didn't understand what they meant, it was clearly a good thing, so he asked, "What do you mean by that!"

"It means that my Human Race can provide weapons and pills to the Anti-Demon Alliance! I wonder if you all want them!" Jiang He said with a smile on his face.

Upon hearing this, a brilliant light flared in Brahma's eyes: "Really! Is it free?"

Jiang He almost choked on his own breath. Free? What are you thinking!

"Ahem! Well, while it's not free, I guarantee I will sell them to you at cost price, and there will be discounts for bulk orders!"

Hearing that it wasn't free, Brahma didn't feel disappointed; after all, that had just slipped out, and even if it were truly free, he wouldn't have dared to accept it!

"Then what shall we use for trade?"

Seeing that there was a chance, Jiang He spoke up: "Anything like Demon Cores, pelts, scales, Spirit Plants, Spirit Roots, divine abilities, or techniques can be traded! As long as it has value!"

Hearing this, Brahma was immediately overjoyed. He had plenty of these; after several previous great battles with the Demon Race, they had nothing if not an abundance of these things!

"Alright, let me see what you have here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang He handed over a list.

It was filled with a dazzling array of magical treasures and weapons, but the main items were still the classic three: pills, talismans, and equipment! Everything else was strictly not for sale!

However, when Brahma saw that the warships he had seen in the city earlier were missing, he shamelessly pestered Jiang He until he managed to grind out ten of them!

Of course, what was given to them wasn't necessarily the same kind that the Human Race operated themselves! At most, the shells just looked similar!

By the time Brahma and his group walked out of the Human Race territory, both sides felt they had made a killing!

If you can't find the book title, you can try searching for the author; perhaps the name has just been changed!
