Steady as an Old Dog, One Step at a Time!
"Hui, what should we do next?"
Bi asked softly, her gaze lingering on the distant land, her former home, the land of her birth, a trace of longing swirling in her eyes...
His tone was gentle, tinged with a hint of disappointment.
Even though she had already returned to the mainland, she couldn't openly go home, which made her feel very uneasy, even though home was so close...
But you can't touch it even a little bit!
Upon hearing this—
Qin Hui embraced Bi, and the two whispered sweet nothings in each other's ears...
What a perfect couple!
Qin Hui murmured, "Right now, the Ice and Snow Demon Race is at its peak, possessing three transformed Great Demons and over a hundred Demon King..."
"Furthermore, considering the great battle and the years of recuperation, their fighting strength is probably even greater than it was during the Battle of Northern Nether Pass!"
"It's not the right time for Human Race to show weakness."
"When the time is right, it will be time to wipe out the entire Ice and Snow Demon Race. Now, let's proceed step by step. What we've lost..."
"We will get it back tenfold, a hundredfold!"
"If you miss home, once things have settled down in a while, I'll take you back to Bayi Immortal City to see what the Twenty-Four Peaks look like now."
As he spoke--
The two were deeply in love, their eyes locked in a tender gaze. Since a group of cultivators were handling things, their only responsibility was to keep watch...
There was plenty of time, and it was such an auspicious day.
It would be a shame not to celebrate. They're not exactly neglecting their duties; they're responding to the Lineage's call to strengthen the Lineage!
Thinking of this--
Qin Hui held Bi close, her breath hot against Bi's chest, her fingers spreading and binding like shavings, as if trying to merge the two of them into one...
"Go inside my body. Following Senior Haiyue's example, I created an inner space within my body. It's not large, but it's enough..."
With that, Qin Hui picked up Bi and rushed into the inner space of the Awakening Soul Tea Tree...
(Ten thousand words omitted here...)
Just as Qin Hui and Bi answered the Lineage's call, the Ice and Snow Demon Race launched a new offensive, unleashing a dense horde of beasts...
Keep charging into this anti-demon front!
The corpses were densely packed, Human Race, some Demon Race. The intensity of the war wasn't particularly high, but it was spread across hundreds, even thousands, of defensive points...
It was a scene of carnage, with corpses strewn everywhere and Blood Qi filling the air!
The reason the Ice and Snow Demon Race did this was to deliberately deplete their excess beast population, since the beast population was multiplying at an astonishing rate, increasing exponentially every year...
Some animal species give birth to a litter at a time, and with the rest and recuperation of the past fifty or sixty years, the number of wild animals has multiplied exponentially...
And periodically unleash beast tides.
On one hand, it depletes the beast horde; on the other hand, it selects elites; and finally, it stimulates the beast horde's fighting spirit, thereby awakening the bloodline of some Demon Beast...
Thus, the strong are born!
It can be considered a set of survival Principle among the Demon Race, giving off a feeling of popping champagne halfway through the game, indicating that it hasn't been completely unified yet...
I already felt like I had everything under control.
As the living space gradually improves, the drawbacks of the multi-race integration of the Demon Race slowly become apparent...
Primarily composed of the three royal clans: the Frost Spirit Demon Race, the White Bear Demon Race, and the Dark Penguin Demon Clan...
They began to continuously carve up territory, recklessly expanding their own race and suppressing other races, and it wasn't that the three transformed Demon Beast didn't stop them...
Rather, it is the nature of the Demon Race that has existed for millions of years!
With limited living space, they might unite when suppressed by external enemies, but once production space is opened up...
Not to mention those three transformed Demon Emperor.
The Demon King under their command began to expand wildly, and their descendants continued to be born, squeezing out the living space of other races...
The three royal families squeezed out numerous Demon King groups, and the Demon King groups, in turn, began to squeeze out even smaller groups, until finally...
Countless wild beasts, with nowhere to roost, can only launch endless beast tides to their deaths, incidentally weakening the Human Race...
The drawbacks of this system.
The Demon Race is destined to have a very short lifespan. Demon Race underlying logic is the survival of the fittest, a cycle of the food chain, which is fundamentally different from the existence of three transformed Demon Emperor...
If you want to change, you can change completely!
This is nature, this is instinct. Although Demon Beast can be called Demon Core cultivator once it condenses its Demon Cultivator, it can also crudely transform into human form...
But their neither-demon-nor-human appearance, coupled with their consistently small numbers...
It is extremely difficult to construct an institution like that of Human Race.
not to mention--
The three transformed Demon Emperor, though verbally promising to unify the Demon Race and stop internal strife, were increasingly concerned about the rapid growth of their own race...
Are they truly willing to sacrifice the interests of their own race to benefit other smaller races?
Obviously, this is impossible.
No matter what kind of creature it is, human or Demon Race, once it develops intelligence, it is impossible for it to be without selfishness...
This very characteristic is precisely the reason why the Human Race was able to withstand the invasion of the Ice and Snow Demon Race!
otherwise--
Could True Lord Poyuan alone really withstand the siege of three transformed Demon Emperor?
This is clearly unrealistic, especially since the sea east of the Northern Continent is the Seven Lights Sea, where a transformed sea monster is also eyeing the area covetously...
If the Demon Race race is truly willing to pay a price...
With all four Demon Emperor present, and at a certain cost, they could have already annihilated True Lord Poyuan. The fact that the other Demon Emperor remained still, seemingly for the sake of the Ice and Snow Demon Race's future...
What's the reality?
They were all afraid of getting hurt and having their butts ripped off by the other Demon Emperor...
The relationship between the White Bear Demon Race and the Qi Mystic Bird Demon Clan is that of hunter and prey; the Bear King and the Penguin Emperor are indeed good brothers...
But that doesn't mean the lower-level populations are actually on good terms!
The two races are, in themselves, part of the food chain...
If the Bear King dies, the Demon King of the Qi Mystic Bird Demon Race will surely exterminate the White Bear Race for the sake of their own clan!
This cuts off predators above.
If the Penguin Emperor dies, then the entire Qi Mystic Bird Demon Race will become the White Bear Demon Race's granary, directly kept by them...
so--
Even when everyone is working together, there are always concerns in their hearts...
Absolute trust is the opposite of absolute distrust...
Victory is now assured, and the rise of the Ice and Snow Demon Race is beginning to take shape. The several transformed Demon Emperor are naturally unwilling to risk their lives any longer...
On the other side--
While the transvestites in the Northern Continent were locked in a fierce battle, millions of miles away...
Eight Immortals Sea -- Great Qin Sea.
It was now the 35th year of the Great Qin Dynasty calendar, and the fifth year since the unification of the Eight Immortals Sea. Peace reigned Eight Seas, and the world was at one peace...
At this moment in Qin Emperor Island, Qin Mingyi in the main hall of the Qin Wang Palace, handling clan affairs while multitasking...
He transferred a portion of his Divine Sense to a puppet, thereby controlling his natal magic Law Treasure: Boundless City!
"Boundless City No. 2 has been activated..."
"It seems everything is going smoothly on Uncle Hui's end. The teleportation network throughout the Eight Seas is also nearing completion. That's good..."
Qin Mingyi murmured--
Qin Xuanzi, standing to the side, was constantly fiddling with a huge sand table model, saying:
"Ancestor Hui is now the number one person below the Golden Core in the Qin Clan, and with Ancestor Bi by his side, even if he faces Core Formation True Person..."
"They could exchange a few blows!"
Upon hearing this—
Qin Mingyi smiled and couldn't help but sigh, "Yes..."
"No one expected Uncle Hui's transformation, but to think he could fight Core Formation True Person is an exaggeration; at best, he might escape death..."
"While he's arguably invincible among his peers, we shouldn't exaggerate that!"
"But instead of worrying about Ancestor Hui, you should be more concerned about the teleportation network. Be careful, or King Qin Han punish you!"
(A fellow Daoist asked about extra chapters today, specifically how many Yuan (yuan) is needed for one chapter. If the total gifts in a single day exceed 50 Yuan, then I'll have to work a little harder and add an extra chapter...)
