Chapter 307: The Future Destiny of the Demon Clan, Achieving Recognition
Listening to Hu Qiuyue’s words, Chen Changsheng turned to glance at her.
“The Demon Clan fights for this generation’s Heavenly Mandate, but no one knows how many living beings will be lost.”
“Is dominating the world and achieving fame and fortune really that important?”
Upon hearing this, Hu Qiuyue smiled and said, “Not important at all.”
“Then why do you still fight for control over Western Central Hezhou, or to gain control over a few more continents? Does it make a difference to you?”
“It doesn’t!”
“But in life, one must have something to seek after!”
“Not seeking to dominate the world or for fame and fortune—are you expecting me to seek after that elusive immortality?”
“The greater the desire, the more one must sacrifice.”
“Among the Three Thousand Continents, countless seek immortality, and the price they pay is far greater than mine.”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng fell silent for a moment.
“I am very satisfied with your answer. The Demon Clan of the Upper Realm can re-divide their territory.”
“The next Heavenly Mandate Holder will have enough control over the Lower Realm, but the foundation of the Upper Realm is still quite weak.”
“With your assistance, let’s not say unifying the Three Thousand Continents; enlarging some territory is still possible.”
“I hope you can maintain this attitude in the future.”
After he finished speaking, Chen Changsheng called out to the distance.
“Potato!”
“Hey!”
Upon hearing Chen Changsheng’s call, Hu Tudou, who had been counting ants on the ground, immediately ran over.
“Little Taoist, is there something you need?”
“Tudou, I remember your wish is to eat lots of delicious food; is that wish still valid now?”
“Of course! Eating is my lifelong dream.”
“That’s good! I’ll take you to eat something good.”
“First, let’s head back to your house. The Demon Clan is not particularly skilled in cooking, so I’ll make you a big meal.”
“Okay!”
After saying this, Chen Changsheng took Hu Tudou’s hand and left.
Once Chen Changsheng and the other had walked far away, the leader of the Mighty Donkey Clan and the Human-faced Bee Queen approached.
“Grandma Hu, is he really that person?”
“It is him.”
“Though his aura has changed and his strength has changed, his appearance has not changed, nor has his gaze.”
“During the battle on Ascension Road, I watched him from a distance; those were terrifying eyes.”
With Hu Qiuyue’s confirmation, cold sweat trickled down their foreheads.
“Grandma Hu, what is he doing coming to Western Central Hezhou with this kind of existence?”
“Perhaps he’s here to see if the current Demon Clan is qualified to govern the world.”
Upon hearing this answer, the Human-faced Bee Queen furrowed her brows.
“What do you mean? If he thinks the Upper Realm’s Demon Clan isn’t qualified to govern the world, can he really reverse the situation?”
Hearing this, Hu Qiuyue glanced at the Human-faced Bee Queen and replied calmly, “The situation is irreversible, he cannot change it, but he can purge Western Central Hezhou and the Upper Realm’s Demon Clan.”
“After all, it’s said to leave a line when doing things, making it easier to meet again in the future.”
“If the Demon Clan becomes excessively ruthless and leaves no room for mercy once they gain power, then as a member of the Human Clan, he would inevitably raise his slaughtering kn*fe.”
Upon hearing these words, the leader of the Mighty Donkey Clan frowned and said, “Grandma Hu, I do not deny his strength and methods.”
“However, our Demon Clan has always been a strong race in the Upper Realm. If he wants to make a move, it won’t be that simple, right?”
“Is that so?”
“I don’t think so. Given the current situation, it would be quite easy for him to take action against Western Central Hezhou.”
“The Human and Divine Clans in the Upper Realm suffered various degrees of injury during the two battles on Ascension Road.”
“It would be difficult for them to take any major actions, while the only races with complete strength are the Demon Clan, Beast Clan, and a few other ancient races.”
“Though the ancient races and Beast Clan are strong, they are still limited by their numbers.”
“Thus, the next Sovereign of the world will undoubtedly emerge from the Demon Clan; this is a tacit secret among the Three Thousand Continents.”
“No one likes to have someone pressing down on them, so if he acts against the Demon Clan, other races will be very willing to see that happen.”
“Without the assistance of other races, how many chances does the Demon Clan have against him?”
“Or rather, how many of their own kin is the Demon Clan willing to sacrifice to defeat him?”
Hearing these words, the leader of the Mighty Donkey Clan fell silent.
On Ascension Road, the White-Haired Sword God severed the long river of history with a single sword stroke, stunning everyone.
The Supreme Saint of Mountain River Academy has means that are no less than the Heavenly Mandate.
In addition, there are powerful beings like Emperor Huangtian and the Jade Emperor.
It has been three thousand years since the battle on Ascension Road; these powerful existences have vanished without a trace, but they certainly have not died.
If he were to summon these individuals, the Demon Clan might not be able to withstand it.
Seeing that the two Demons were silent, Hu Qiuyue smiled faintly and said, “The power backing him is just part of the reason.”
“Another important point you should not forget is that the next Heavenly Mandate Holder will likely appear in the Lower Realm.”
“Moreover, this future Heavenly Mandate Holder is someone he has taught; do you think this Heavenly Mandate Holder will listen to him or to us?”
Upon hearing this, the Human-faced Bee Queen frowned.
“Grandma Hu, he is also a member of the Demon Clan. Would he really…”
“Are you out of your mind?”
Before the Human-faced Bee Queen could finish her words, she was interrupted by Hu Qiuyue.
“It’s fine to say that the same clan should unite and work together to those below; you wouldn’t actually believe that, would you?”
“If I remember correctly, most of the territory of your Human-faced Bee Clan was seized back.”
“When you were seizing territory back then, why didn’t you think about not harming your own kin?”
“The Human Clan, Divine Clan, Demon Clan, Beast Clan, and those ancient races—who among them is not mutually slaughtering?”
“Furthermore, living beings are often more ruthless and brutal when killing their own kind than when facing outsiders.”
“The reason such things do not happen on a large scale is that the cost of slaughtering one’s own kind is too great.”
“But if the benefits outweigh the costs, do you think that an unfamiliar kin in the Lower Realm would hold back against us?”
Hu Qiuyue’s words left the Human-faced Bee Queen speechless, and the leader of the Mighty Donkey Clan spoke up.
“Grandma Hu, when it comes to bearing the Heavenly Mandate, it’s better to choose someone reliable.”
“As for that person in the Lower Realm, our contact has been limited. Is there a possibility that we might switch to a different choice?”
“Good idea! I just mentioned this thought to him, but he advised me against it.”
“I, Hu Qiuyue, have a great advantage: I’m open to others’ opinions.”
“So, I do not plan to change the candidate.”
Faced with Hu Qiuyue’s words, the leader of the Mighty Donkey Clan did not verbally express his doubts, but his inner thoughts were already evident on his face.
Seeing this, Hu Qiuyue smiled and said, “What, do you think I’m too soft-hearted?”
“Grandma Hu, the Heavenly Mandate is not anyone’s alone—everyone has a chance.”
“There’s no need to be so cautious, right?”
“Ha ha ha!”
“That’s right, that’s absolutely right!”
“The Heavenly Mandate is not anyone’s alone; everyone has a chance—so I support you in contending for the Heavenly Mandate, okay?”
