Sheng Fu

Chapter 1047 The Heart of Change
Yuwen Jun gently placed the lunchbox at the entrance of the dojo without disturbing anyone, then turned and slowly left.

inside the house.

Back inside, Bei Hanmeng glanced at Yuwen Jun again. Seeing that Yuwen Jun's expression had improved slightly, she gently reminded him, "You still have many official duties to attend to. You don't need to linger here for too long."

"The child is still young. If you have free time, you can come back and visit often."

Yuwen Jun nodded.

Chu Yu looked at Yuwen Jun with reluctance, hoping that Yuwen Jun could stay for another day or two, but when she thought of the heavy responsibility her elder brother was carrying, she never said the words of urging him to stay.

……

The Demon Realm, the Royal Capital.

Inside Longde Peak, the palace is elegant, solemn, and magnificent. The rebuilt palace draws heavily on the architecture of human palaces. As for the name of Longde Palace, it was personally decided by Guangli.

For no other reason than to get closer to the dragon race.

Furthermore, Guangli had long ago devised a plan to forcibly possess Yuwen Jun's body.

At this moment, the patriarch of the Golden Lion Clan and the patriarch of the Xiu Shenzhu Clan, two powerful figures from the demon realm, gathered together.

Guangli sat upright on the throne.

"The plan is somewhat risky. I wonder what you two think?" Guangli asked the two powerful figures.

In fact, Guangli had already made up her mind that she would go her own way regardless of whether the two meritorious elders were willing or not.

The reason for this is that these two big shots are the backbone of the demon realm, and their attitudes and opinions deserve Guangli's careful consideration.

In short, we must not let the elderly feel disheartened.

More importantly, they must be made to feel that they are rebuilding the demon realm together with their emperor.

Chief Xiu Shenzhu and Zun Hong looked at each other.

"We only suspect that the Heavenly Nether Python still exists in the world. Is this a test to see if it's true?" Zun Hong asked cautiously.

Lately, almost all major decisions have been made by Yuwen Jun.

As Queen, Guangli also relied primarily on Yuwen Jun's strategies.

In retrospect, the person who truly holds power in the Demon Realm seems to be Yuwen Jun, not Guang Li.

Of course, both Chief Xiu Shenzhu and Zun Hong were aware of this matter and would not deliberately keep their distance from Yuwen Jun for the sake of so-called sovereignty and self-esteem.

The soul sorcerers under Yuwen Jun's command formulate national policies and implement administration on behalf of His Majesty.

This gradually revitalized the devastated demon realm.

Although Yuwen Jun's intention was to win over the demon race as an ally, the demon race was also well aware that without Yuwen Jun's skillful maneuvering and extensive negotiations, the current state of the demon realm would be nothing short of a miserable mess.

Furthermore, the demon race itself has a sense of worship and awe towards the dragon race. In essence, all the races in the demon realm are eager to sign a permanent alliance with the dragon race and engage in more in-depth exchanges.

"It's better to believe it exists than not to believe it doesn't. The appearance of this Netherworld Spider has truly terrified me, to the point that I can't sleep at night. The Demon Realm can no longer afford a battle for the throne." Guangli stared at the two Huns, her face as cold as frost.

Zun Hong replied, "Your Majesty is absolutely right."

Chief Xiu Shenzhu pondered for a moment and said, "In this matter, Zun Hong and I will join forces to conceal the secrets of heaven and never let any clan know about the Heavenly Nether Giant Python."

"Your Majesty can rest assured."

Guangli nodded slightly and said, "Thank you both. This matter need not be known to the other elders; it should only be between the three of us."

Chief Xiu Shenzhu and Zun Hong bowed and said, "We accept the decree." This matter was also quite contradictory for the demon race.

The contradiction lies in the fact that both the Heavenly Tiger Clan and the Heavenly Nether Python are qualified to become the ruler of the Demon Realm.

Among the demon race, many groups have great faith in the Heavenly Python.

Although that powerful race has disappeared into the annals of history, if a pure-blooded Heavenly Nether Python were to suddenly appear, and were willing to sacrifice its life for the demon race, many races would naturally support the Heavenly Nether Python.

Nowadays, the flame of the demon realm civilization is very faint.

Most demons believe in blood and courage, and scoff at civilization and etiquette.

Furthermore, Guangli is a woman, and with such slender shoulders, can she really bear the weight of the demon realm's mountains and rivers?

The internal affairs of the Demon Realm only appear stable on the surface.

In fact, many powerful demons with strong bloodlines harbored resentment at the thought of having to bow down and behave before humans and spirits.

But I can't let out this sigh of relief for now.

The reason why domestic affairs are stable is only because the Demon Realm does not currently have the ability to launch large-scale battles. Its land is broken, its national fortune is damaged, and there are many helpless situations.

It takes a long time to ignite the flame of civilization and purify barbarity.

This is also what is currently causing Guangli a lot of headaches. Whenever the night is quiet, Guangli is thinking about how to use her intelligence to explore a civilization system suitable for the demon realm.

Unfortunately, Guangli has no clue yet.

Guangli said in a deep voice, "The day after tomorrow will be the night of the full moon. I will go to the Black Mountain Land and use the power of the monarch to restore the mountains and rivers. No matter what happens along the way, you must not approach me."

"Secondly, the palace must be strictly guarded. If any other members of the Tianhu clan act abnormally or break the rules, they can be killed on the spot without asking any questions."

Zun Hong paused for a moment, then asked, "Does Your Majesty suspect that there are spies among the royal family?"

Upon hearing this, Chief Xiu Shenzhu was also deeply shocked.

Guangli grinned and said, "Even among the human race, a Purple Gold Alliance has emerged overnight. How much more so for the Demon Realm, whose land and rivers are already shattered? In addition, the God Emperor did indeed want to use the Demon Realm as a strategic stronghold, but the great struggle was rewritten because of the bloody battle between Empress Fuyao and Gu Yong."

"Without the unprecedented bloody battle between those two, the Demon Realm would probably have become a living hell by now."

"It's not uncommon for royalty to have spies."

"But it would be truly strange if there were no spies involved."

"The situation is only stable now. In fact, the internal affairs of the Demon Realm will inevitably face many difficult problems in the future, such as small-scale partisan disputes."

"For example, if we do not strive for progress and remain complacent and follow the old path, even if we restore our nation to its peak, we will still be defeated by the other four races and unable to raise our heads."

"It is true that the demon race is fearless, but their military strategy, tactics, and civilized order are far inferior to the other four races."

"How can the Demon Realm become stronger without undergoing a complete transformation?"

Upon hearing this, Chief Xiu Shenzhu and Zun Hong were deeply moved, especially Zun Hong, whose eyes were already starting to well up with tears.

Some calculations are not difficult.

Zun Hong, Xiu Shenzhu, and the other big shots were well aware that for at least the next hundred years, the Demon Realm would only be able to struggle for survival between the human and spirit races, fulfilling its duties as beasts of burden.

……

Two days later, in the evening.

The bright moon hangs high, the stars fill the sky, and the Black Mountain region is desolate and boundless.
