"For the Devil Race?" Li Xiaoya pondered for a moment, then a sudden flash of inspiration struck him, and he asked tentatively.
"Exactly!" Dao Virtue Heavenly Lord replied gravely. "You've been in the Thirty-Three Star Realm long enough to know the relationship between the Devil Race in the lesser star realms and the greater star realms. Back then, although that lesser star realm was a place where our Human Race had flourished, certain historical reasons kept us from attacking and occupying it by force. Instead, we adopted a gentler approach to assimilation. That was also why I first appeared in your human lesser star realm-to teach you the path of cultivation!" He paused, then continued, "But there were Devil Race infiltrators among our Human Race, and they wanted to attack that human lesser star realm too..."
"Oh..." Li Xiaoya understood. The situation was probably much like what had happened in the Dark Lake lesser star realm. Once those damned devils learned of it, they used the Race Treaty between the super races to contend with the Human Race for possession of this human lesser star realm...
Sure enough!
Dao Virtue Heavenly Lord's account described almost exactly the same situation. The Human Race had first discovered the lesser star realm where Li Xiaoya lived. Though small, it was extremely unusual, so the Human Race had not invaded it by force. Instead, as Dao Virtue Heavenly Lord had explained, they used gentler methods to assimilate its humans and quietly established an Ascension Passage...
However!
The Devil Race's infiltrators, who slipped through every crack, still discovered what was happening. They claimed to have discovered the lesser star realm first. Fortunately, the Human Race had already placed its own markers there and naturally refused to yield. The Devil Race could only change its tune
