"Report! His Majesty, the Demon Emperor! The Human Race's Earthly Emperor, Shen Nong, is leading the Human Race toward our territory. They have already seized thirty thousand li of our land."
"Then let them seize it. We took it from the Human Race in the first place. At worst, we'll just take it back." Tai Yi spoke indifferently.
Several breaths later, he finally realized what he had heard. "Wait, what did you just say? Shen Nong is attacking? Hasn't he already attained sainthood? Isn't he afraid that Heaven, Earth, and Humanity will bring down a killing tribulation for taking action?"
Tai Yi was speechless. Fu Xi had attacked him after attaining the Dao, and Shen Nong was attacking him after attaining the Dao too. Did he have some grudge against the Human Race's Saints? Or was he simply fated to cross paths with them?
"Your Majesty, Shen Nong didn't personally take action. It was the Human Race he led that attacked."
Only then did Tai Yi breathe a sigh of relief.
It wasn't that he feared Saints, but this wasn't a fight to the death. They were merely competing for the position of Hong Huang's protagonist. If they could win, they would fight for it; if they couldn't, they would return to the Yao Realm. There was no need to take a beating for nothing.
Especially when they already knew they couldn't win.
What made Eastern Emperor Tai Yi regretful, however, was that he had wandered around Hong Huang for so long, yet Hong Jun still hadn't come looking for him. He had been planning to get the better of Hong Jun, but he didn't know whether he would still get the chance.
A hundred days later, Chendu.
The Human Race army led by Shen Nong and the Demon Race
