Chapter 3047 A Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity for the Great Wilderness Palace
Lin Chen glanced around the table. Of the four people at the table, only Wang Yuan was human; the other three were demons.

Wang Yuan was enthusiastic, and the three demons looked at him with curiosity, without any wariness or hostility in their eyes. Lin Chen didn't stand on ceremony and agreed.

Perhaps these people want to learn about the immortal realm; similarly, he wants to talk to these people and learn about this place.

Gu Qin sat down next to Lin Chen and smiled, "You're back. Is that all that's been done?"

Wang Yuan sighed: "We fought a battle, but the result wasn't ideal. Both sides have temporarily called a truce, but I estimate we'll have to fight again..."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "Who are you fighting? Can you tell me?"

Wang Yuan explained with a smile, "The only enemy of the Wilderness People is the Demon God Temple. The Demon God Temple has been encroaching on the territory of the Great Wilderness Palace, seizing various resources, and gradually weakening our strength."

"We will have to fight them for cultivation resources. This time it's about a spirit mine with huge reserves of spirit stones. We've fought several times for this spirit mine, but neither side has gained an advantage."

Lin Chen pressed further, "Are you from the Demon God Temple?"

Wang Yuan explained, "It's a subordinate force of the Demon God Temple. The Demon God Temple will support some strong individuals, but they're not considered very strong."

“If it were before, we wouldn’t have dared to confront them so directly. But recently, there’s been a war between the two realms, and all the important forces of the Demon God’s Palace have been drawn away to fight the Immortal Realm. So the pressure on us has been reduced a lot. Therefore, we want to take this opportunity to seize some territory and grab some key resource areas.”

"Now that the passage between immortals and demons is permanently secured, all their attention is focused on the immortal realm, which is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity for us barbarians."

Lin Chen immediately understood. Wasn't this a case of the Great Wilderness Palace taking advantage of the fact that the main forces of the Demon Clan were fighting in the Immortal Realm, and then stabbing them in the back?
So, all things considered, the Great Wilderness Palace is truly a staunch ally of the Immortal Realm!

Lin Chen asked curiously, "Doesn't the Demon Emperor care about this side?"

Wang Yuan laughed and said, "The Demon Emperor and the Great Wilderness Sage have an agreement that the Sage shall not interfere in the battle between the Great Wilderness Palace and the Demon God Palace. If they dare to violate the agreement, the Great Wilderness Sage will naturally not sit idly by. He might even join forces with the Immortal Emperor, which would be a real headache for the Demon Emperor."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up: "Is that really possible?"

A demon nearby interjected, "This is only theoretically possible, but in reality it's impossible. The Demon Emperor won't give the Great Wilderness Saint this excuse."

"In the Great Wilderness Palace, we fight alongside the human race because we share a common enemy in the Demon Realm. However, this does not mean that we can join forces with the Immortal Realm. Once this tacit understanding is broken, the Great Wilderness Palace will face destruction."

Lin Chen understood immediately. The conflict between the Demon Clan and the Great Wilderness Palace was a matter of internal affairs for the Demon Clan. Minor squabbles were acceptable, but a complete breakdown in relations was unacceptable. The Demon Emperor could give face to the Great Wilderness Saint and allow them to exist and cause trouble, but if they dared to join forces with outsiders, then the Great Wilderness Palace would have no reason to exist and could be wiped out with a wave of his hand.

Lin Chen asked curiously, "Could you tell me about the connection between the Great Wilderness Sage and the Demon Emperor? I've always been very curious about this."

The demon laughed and said, "It's actually very simple. Back then, when the Great Wilderness Saint and the Demon Saint were fighting for the throne, the Great Wilderness Saint lost. But losing doesn't mean the Great Wilderness Saint has to bow down to the Demon Saint. Moreover, the Demon Saint used some tricks to win the fight. How can that convince people?"

"The Great Wilderness Sage was dissatisfied, and the Great Wilderness Palace naturally wouldn't obey the Demon God Temple, so it established its own power. However, later, the Demon Saint won and obtained the throne, and his strength improved. He was dissatisfied with the attitude of our Great Wilderness Palace and the fact that we occupied so much territory, so he fought the Great Wilderness Sage again." "The Demon Saint, with the advantage of the throne, defeated the Great Wilderness Sage, but he couldn't kill him. The only solution was to establish a pact, preventing the Great Wilderness Sage from taking action. In return, he and the other sages couldn't attack the Great Wilderness Palace either. The life and death of the Great Wilderness Palace were left to the disciples of the Great Wilderness to decide."

"After that, there's not much to say. It's just a fight. The Demon God Temple is definitely stronger than us. If they go all out, we naturally can't beat them. But they won't dare to go too far. If they really fight until the Great Wilderness Palace is destroyed, the Great Wilderness Sage might have to take action."

Lin Chen suddenly realized: "They were wary of each other, so they gradually eroded and weakened the Great Wilderness Palace?"

Wang Yuan sighed, "Yes, and they succeeded. The territory that the Great Wilderness Palace originally occupied is now only this size. We have had a very difficult time for the past thousand years, but now that the Immortal-Demon Passage is permanently secured, our opportunity has arrived."

"Regardless of whether the Demon God's army wins or loses in the Immortal Realm, we need to take this opportunity to expand our territory and seize more cultivation resources."

The demon youth added, "If the Demon God Temple wins in the Immortal Realm, they will occupy a large area of ​​the Immortal Domain, and more power will enter the Immortal Realm to continue fighting against it. Naturally, they will not care about the territory of the Demon Realm."

"If they fail, the power of the Demon God Temple will be greatly depleted, and it will no longer have the power to restrain our Great Wilderness Palace. We can take this opportunity to occupy a larger territory."

"Therefore, regardless of whether the Demon God Temple wins or loses, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. Now the Great Wilderness Palace is going all out to expand its territory, and battles are taking place everywhere, with merits everywhere!"

Lin Chen thought for a moment: "What is the attitude of the Wildlings towards the Immortal Realm and the Human Race?"

Wang Yuan and the others exchanged glances. Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Although we are all barbarians, I am a human and they are demons. Their attitudes toward humans are definitely different."

"Of course I hope that the human race can win, and even be able to invade the demon realm and suppress the demon race's power. The Great Wilderness Palace can then take advantage of this opportunity to rise up, and perhaps even cooperate with the immortal realm to eventually overthrow the Demon God Temple."

"They might prefer that the demons expand outwards and occupy more of the immortal realms, so that most of the Demon God Palace's forces can move to the immortal realm, and our Great Wilderness Palace can also occupy more of the demon realm's territory."

Wang Yuan spoke quite frankly, and the demons nodded in agreement.

Lin Chen nodded, indicating that he understood.

Although they are all barbarians and both hope that the barbarians can gain more territory, their methods are different.

Lin Chen changed his question and asked, "You just said that there are battles everywhere and battle achievements everywhere. What's the situation? I'm new here and can't go back to the Immortal Realm right now. I guess I'll stay here. Do you have any suggestions?"

Wang Yuan chuckled and said, "You can join a team and participate in battles. In these special times, you only need to pay a small amount for what you get in battles. Everything else can be your spoils. If you gain a lot of battle merits, you can exchange them for all sorts of good things."

"If you're going to join this place, you'll need to find a good team..."
