Chapter 277 Humanity Must Strive for Self-Improvement! The Rise and Fall of Races
Meanwhile, in the Heavenly Realm of the Demon Clan, inside the Lingxiao Palace.
Di Jun was discussing with a group of high-ranking demons how to deal with the witch clan.
After all, since the Houtu Ancestral Witch has transformed into a being of reincarnation, and the twelve Ancestral Witches of the Witch Clan are no longer complete, even if they can unleash the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, the power they can exert is far less than before.
At this juncture, taking action against the Witch Clan is the perfect opportunity.
Unfortunately, the forging of the Witch-Slaying Sword was never successfully completed.
"Brother!"
"Why don't we just stop waiting for the Witch-Slaying Sword to be forged and attack the Witch Clan directly!"
"Donghuang Taiyi suggested, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit."
His words immediately sparked a debate among the high-ranking members of the demon race:
"Your Majesty, the Witch-Slaying Sword is almost complete. Perhaps we should wait a little longer!"
"That's right. With the Witch-Slaying Sword in hand, we'll be much more secure in dealing with the Witch Clan."
"At that time, the powerful physical bodies of the Witch Clan will be nothing in front of our Demon Clan."
"Hmph! What are we waiting for? Opportunities are fleeting!"
"Exactly! In my opinion, we should immediately send troops to conquer the Witch Clan!"
"Even without the Slaughtering Witch Sword, our demon race can still annihilate the witch race."
"Your Majesty, give the order! I am willing to be the vanguard in the fight against the witch!"
"..."
Immediately, a heated argument broke out among many high-ranking members of the demon race.
Some advocate attacking the witch clan before the witch-slaying sword is forged.
After all, the Wu tribe had lost Houtu, their ancestral witch, which greatly diminished their strength. In their eyes, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Of course, some people advocated that it would be safer to wait until the Witch-Slaying Sword was forged before attacking the Witch Clan.
Just as the many high-ranking demons were arguing amongst themselves, Di Jun's brows furrowed, and he swept his cold gaze across the demons.
Upon receiving Di Jun's icy gaze, the previously noisy hall immediately fell silent.
Then, Di Jun turned his gaze to Donghuang Taiyi, who was standing to the side, and said:
"Second brother, there's no need to rush."
"The Ancestral Witch Houtu has already passed away and entered the cycle of reincarnation."
"It is simply impossible for the Wu Clan to cultivate an Ancestral Wu in a short period of time."
"If we can successfully forge the Witch-Slaying Sword before then, we can wipe out the Witch Clan in one fell swoop!"
Upon hearing what Di Jun said, Donghuang Taiyi paused for a moment. He was about to offer some further advice, but he swallowed the words that were about to come out.
"boom……"
Just then, the commotion caused by the great battle between the Lower Realm Emperor and the Bloodbeak Demon God alarmed Di Jun and the others.
"Um?"
"this?"
"What a loud noise!"
"What's going on?"
Surprised, Di Jun and the others released their divine senses.
After a brief investigation, it was discovered that the Human Emperor Huang Tian was fighting against the Bloodbeak Demon God.
"Your Majesty, the Bloodbeak Demon God is engaged in a fierce battle with the Human Emperor!"
"It seems... the humans have discovered our movements."
"No wall is completely airtight."
"Humanity may be weak, but behind them are two sages: the Supreme Sage and the Goddess Nuwa!"
"..."
Hearing what the high-ranking members of the demon race said, Di Jun chuckled coldly and said nonchalantly:
"So what if we found out?"
"Now that everything is out in the open, let's just openly and honestly collect the essence and blood of those human ants."
……
On the other side, beyond the heavens, lies the Nuwa Palace.
The sage Nuwa was originally sitting quietly on a cloud bed.
"Um?"
Suddenly, she slowly opened her eyes, her gaze falling, and she noticed the great battle between the Human Emperor Huangtian and the Bloodbeak Demon God.
"What happened?"
"Why is the Human Emperor fighting a demon god from the demon race?"
Nuwa spoke with a hint of doubt, her expression becoming complicated.
After all, both humans and demons have a great deal to do with her.
She created the human race by molding clay, and that's how she attained sainthood.
The demon race is their mother race.
The current conflict between the human and demon races has put this saint in a difficult position.
……
Penglai Fairy Island, Shouyang Mountain.
After Niu Ben took the Three Pure Ones to see the environment of Penglai Island, the Three Pure Ones decided to move their entire sect to Penglai Island.
The Supreme Sage also moved his Daoist temple, Shouyang Mountain, here.
"Um?"
Inside the Eight Views Palace, the Supreme Lord suddenly opened his eyes and sensed the battle between Huangtian and the Bloodbeak Demon God.
If the conflict between humans and demons were just minor skirmishes, then so be it; he, as a sage, would naturally not care about such things.
But now, even the Human Emperor Huang Tian has taken action, which shows how serious the situation is.
"The calamity of humanity is also a trial."
"However, the foundation of our religion must not be shaken."
After a brief examination, the Supreme Sage spoke calmly.
He achieved sainthood here by relying on the Liren Teaching.
The human race is the foundation upon which their religion is founded.
They certainly wouldn't leave the human race to its fate.
Of course, the Supreme Sage did not choose to act immediately, but observed quietly.
If humanity were truly facing a life-or-death crisis, he, as the leader of this sect, would naturally not stand idly by.
……
Inside the core palace of Fengdu City, in the Netherworld.
"Oh?"
Niu Ben was slightly surprised, and he also sensed the battle between Huang Tian and the Bloodbeak Demon God of the Demon Clan.
"Even my disciple was alarmed."
"It seems the human race is facing a significant situation this time!"
Niu Ben muttered to himself.
"Could it be... because of forging the Witch-Slaying Sword?"
Suddenly, Niu Ben was startled, remembering the demon race's forging of the Witch-Slaying Sword.
Others might not know, but he knew it all too well.
During the war between the Lich and the Demon race, the Demon race forged the Witch-Slaying Sword in order to deal with the powerful physical bodies of the Lich race.
The forging of the Witch-Slaying Sword requires the blood essence of humans.
After thinking for a moment, Niu Ben looked slightly embarrassed and muttered to himself:
"I almost forgot about that!"
"Should I... lend a hand to the human race?"
Upon thinking of this, Niu Ben frowned slightly and hesitated.
He knew very well that the demon race needed to slaughter countless human beings to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword.
In terms of sentiment, his soul belongs to the human race, and the human emperor Huang Tian is the disciple he took in on the shores of the East Sea.
Logically speaking, since the human race is destined to be the protagonist of the primordial world, and the underworld is connected to their destiny, it is reasonable for him to help the human race now that he holds power in the underworld.
Just as Niu Ben was lost in thought, a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind:
【Ding! 】
[The system detected that the host is facing a critical decision, triggering a divine choice.]
Option 1: Take immediate action to help the human race defeat the demon race and resolve the current crisis.
[Reward: One Innate Spiritual Treasure.]
[Option Two: Humanity must strive for self-improvement! The rise and fall of a race depends on its own blood and fire forging; the host should not interfere.]
[Reward: 1 Fragment of a Primordial Treasure]
"this?"
Upon hearing the system notification, Niu Ben was completely taken aback.
"Is the system messing with me?"
He was secretly startled.
Just now, Niu Ben had weighed the options and felt that he should help the human race.
But who would have thought that the God-level Choice System would be triggered at this moment.
The key point is that by not choosing to help the human race, one can obtain fragments of innate treasures.
