Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone
Chapter 577 The West and the Demon Race
In the past, all races were weak and powerless to resist the oppression of the demon race. Now that the demon race is weak and all races are rising, it is natural for them to seek revenge and vent their grievances.
We can't just stop all the races from taking revenge, can we? If we do that, then all the suffering they've endured in the past would have been for nothing. The demon race has been tyrannical for years, and we can just let it slide with a single sentence without paying any price.
Who can accept this?
Even if Heaven agrees, the myriad races will not. But if the myriad races are of one mind, they can resonate with the Way of Humanity, thus creating a situation where the Way of Humanity can contend with the Way of Heaven.
Even if Heaven has the intention to support the demon race, it wouldn't be strong enough to be willing to go against humanity for the sake of the demon race.
Therefore, when Ao Bing shouted the slogan "The demon race owes all races, and should repay them," it became inevitable that the demon race would merge with the demonic path and become the target of everyone in the prehistoric world, and no one could stop it.
There is no other way to break this deadlock except for the extinction of the demon race or the death of Ao Bing. As long as Ao Bing lives, with him in charge, the demon race will be unable to reverse right and wrong.
As for the demonic path being universally condemned in the prehistoric world, that's even less surprising. Previously, the existence of the demonic path did have some effect on the prehistoric world, as it could reduce the amount of malevolent energy in the world.
Therefore, as long as the demonic cultivators do not commit evil, even if the immortal cultivators are dissatisfied, they cannot kill them, lest they anger the Heavenly Dao and invite divine punishment.
But things are different now. The demonic path has become a tool of the chaotic demons, and their harm is undoubtedly greater than the little they have contributed to the primordial world.
Therefore, for the sake of the safety of the primordial world, the destruction of the demonic path is inevitable.
This is the common enemy of the primordial world, and we must do everything we can to eliminate it, lest the Chaos Demon God use the demonic path to wreak havoc on the primordial world.
The demonic path is the common enemy of the primordial world, and the demon race is the common enemy of all races. Both are common enemies; one is to be destroyed by the Heavenly Dao, and the other by the Human Dao.
Ao Bing merging them and calling them demons is perfectly acceptable. As for gaining merit by killing them, that's even less of a problem.
Neither the demonic path nor the demon race are simple creatures; it is impossible to destroy them without paying a huge price.
In this situation, how could you expect people to work hard without offering sufficient rewards?
If we don't use merit to encourage everyone, then no matter how loudly we shout the slogan of slaying demons and eliminating evil, the cultivators below will only be going through the motions and not actually doing anything.
If you want a horse to run, you have to feed it well. This is an eternal truth that applies to all times, including for cultivators.
Or rather, this is especially true for cultivators. They are all self-interested people; without tangible benefits, even if Heaven commands them to risk their lives, they would dare to outwardly comply but inwardly defy it.
Ao Bing came from humble beginnings, so how could he not know what they were thinking? Therefore, slogans must be shouted, and tangible benefits must also be given.
Only in this way can countless people be motivated to risk their lives for him.
"you……"
Now it was Donghuang's turn to change his expression. He wanted to say a few harsh words, but after opening his mouth, he couldn't utter a single word.
Because the united front against the demon race is an inevitable trend. In the past, the demon race was in decline, resources were scarce, and because they were wary of Emperor Jun and Taiyi, they dared not kill them, which is why they were allowed to exist.
But things are different now. With Taiyi's resurrection and the establishment of the Demon Realm, the demon race, which had already declined, has not only shown signs of revival, but has actually been revived.
While the resources they possess are not yet comparable to their peak, they still surpass those of all other races countless times. The resources produced by just one demon realm, a world at the half-step level of the myriad realms, are already unimaginable to all other races.
It should be noted that the habitats of most of the myriad races are located in the Northern Great Realm created by the Goddess Houtu. However, the Northern Great Realm ranks last among the four great realms, and is merely a partially completed universe, far from being perfected, and cannot be compared with the Demon Realm at all.
Therefore, now that they have the opportunity to invade the demon realm, they are all acting like madmen, and they certainly wouldn't refuse. As for whether doing so will invite retaliation from the Eastern Emperor, there is absolutely no need to worry about that.
If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. Even if Donghuang wants to take revenge, he will take it out on Ao Bing first. If he doesn't deal with Ao Bing, Donghuang won't be able to take revenge on all races, because Ao Bing will definitely step in to stop him.
With Ao Bing leading the charge, the myriad races naturally have nothing to fear. They can take advantage of the chaos and never give the demon race any chance to revive.
The so-called revenge is merely a convenient excuse. The real reason is still self-interest. Ao Bing can command the obedience of all races to fight against the demon race with just a word.
This wasn't because he had high prestige that could command the sincere submission of all races. Rather, it was because his slogans brought tangible benefits to all races, which is why they were willing to support him.
Taiyi understood this perfectly, which was why he couldn't say anything. What could he say? The demon race was such a juicy piece of meat; who wouldn't want to take a bite?
Taiyi doesn't have the audacity to persuade various factions to abandon their gains and refrain from attacking the demon race.
On the other hand, now that the prehistoric world is divided into so many parts, everyone wants to achieve better development. Under these circumstances, besides biting the demon race, who else can they bite?
Biting the Primordial World and the Starry Sky? Didn't you see how powerful Ao Bing is? Below the Creation Realm, without a Heaven-Opening Treasure in hand, who could be his opponent?
Biting the Eastern Great Realm? The thousands of powerful cultivators from the Xuanmen sect are not to be trifled with. If pushed too far, they can always turn to Ao Bing, or the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, the Jade Emperor, and others.
In short, the sages of the Xuanmen and the supreme beings of the Immortal Path will never sit idly by and allow any force outside the Xuanmen to encroach upon the Eastern Great Realm.
How they fight is their business; the meat must rot in the pot, and outsiders must not interfere.
If the Lesser Primordial World and the Starry Sky don't work, and the Eastern Great Realm doesn't work either, then what about the Western Great Realm?
Hehe, don't be fooled by the current predicament of the Western Realm. It is the Western Realm that is in trouble, not the two Western Saints. If they were to join forces, even Ao Bing might not dare to challenge them.
Well, the Three Pure Ones have a combined attack technique, and the Two Sages of the West naturally have one too, though not as powerful as the Three Pure Ones, but they should not be underestimated.
Whether he can unleash combat power at the Creation Realm level is hard to say, but at the very least, he will have combat power at the peak of the Primordial Chaos Realm, or even at the half-step Creation Realm level.
Such strength is terrifying; in a one-on-one fight, there are only two or three people in the Primordial World who could contend with it.
Therefore, if someone tries to take advantage of the Western Realm's predicament, they are undoubtedly courting death and will be torn to pieces by the enraged Western Saints.
The Western Realm is no good either, and looking at the Northern Realm, the Goddess Houtu is no pushover either. Even if the Goddess Houtu doesn't intervene, the combined influence of all races is not to be underestimated.
If someone is truly determined to pledge allegiance to a powerful figure, even Ao Bing would have no choice but to stand up for them.
Needless to say, the Southern Realm is not as good as the Eastern Realm, and even worse than the newly opened Demon Realm, but that's because the human race has not yet exerted its strength.
If the human race were to exert its full strength, it would likely be able to elevate the Southern Great Realm to the level of the myriad realms, instead of remaining in its current state, which is not even at the level of the Great Universe.
Although no one knows why the human race didn't do it, everyone knows that it's not that the human race lacks the ability, but that they deliberately choose not to.
Clearly, the human race is secretly plotting something. But what exactly they are plotting remains unknown to outsiders. In short, the human race is not to be trifled with, especially now that they have two powerful beings, Fuxi and Nuwa, in charge. As a result, even with the changing of the world and the transition between old and new eras, they still firmly hold their position as the protagonists of the universe, and no one can shake their position.
In this situation, provoking the Southern Great Realm could mean the death of even a Primordial Golden Immortal.
Currently, the human race only has two Grand Luo Golden Immortals, which is not the limit of the human race, but the limit of the old primordial world.
With the arrival of the new era, it is entirely foreseeable that before long, the human race will give birth to more Primordial Golden Immortals.
Of course, this situation will not only occur among humans, but also among super powerful races such as demons, witches, dragons, phoenixes, and unicorns, where one or two more Grand Luo Golden Immortals will emerge.
Even so, they still cannot compare to the human race. This is because the human race has the largest number of powerful individuals.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the human race will be the first major race among all races to have more than ten Primordial Chaos level experts.
If neither the Four Realms nor the Lesser Primordial World works, then we can only look beyond the Four Realms.
Needless to say, the Endless World has already entered a breeding ground for evil spirits, where all forces can get involved. How much benefit they can gain depends entirely on their own abilities.
Besides the endless world, there are also places like the celestial realm, the underworld, and the immortal realm.
First, let's exclude the Heavenly Realm and the Underworld. Not to mention that the Jade Emperor is not someone to be trifled with, the fact that he has the Three Pure Ones and the Dao Ancestor behind him is enough to make everyone hesitate.
In the Netherworld, no one dares to provoke them; the Styx River is also a powerful overlord. Not to mention, the concubines in the Netherworld are invincible; even the Dao Ancestor is no match for them.
In this vast and boundless world, who would dare to venture into the Netherworld and offend her?
The Earthly Immortal Realm is indeed easy to bully, much like the Northern Great Realm. However, Zhen Yuanzi is a sage, and the most valued sage by the Heavenly Dao. Making an enemy of him is not a wise move.
After all the calculations, the easiest to bully are actually the demon realm and the monster realm. Among them, the demon realm is not so easy to bully.
However, with Ao Bing issuing his orders, the demon realm became the easiest to bully, and anyone could take a bite out of it.
It is entirely foreseeable that, in order to achieve better development, other forces will not let this opportunity pass by and will inevitably vie to take a bite out of the demon realm.
Of course, that's true, but the demon race wasn't entirely without allies. Realizing his situation had become extremely precarious, the Eastern Emperor abruptly turned his gaze to the two Western Saints, awaiting their response.
The stance of the two Western Saints is extremely important. If even they refuse to support the demon race, then the demon race's title as the common enemy of the prehistoric world will be firmly established.
However, if they were willing to support the demon race, it would undoubtedly create more room for maneuver for the demon race, forcing many forces to be hesitant and not daring to provoke the demon race easily.
The two Western Saints are still quite intimidating, especially to forces that lack a Saint or a Primordial Golden Immortal to oversee them.
They certainly don't want their outstanding successors, whom they've painstakingly cultivated, to be forcibly converted to the West and never return, simply because of a saying that "fellow Daoist has a connection with the West."
If you offend the two Western saints, they are absolutely capable of doing such a thing: converting all the forces that offended them, as well as their outstanding disciples, to the West.
This has happened many times throughout history. The crisis facing Western Christianity now is even greater than before. Therefore, the personalities of the two Western Saints will not only not diminish, but will become even more depraved.
In this situation, if the two Western Saints publicly express their willingness to support the demon race, it would indeed scare away many forces.
"Demons are the common enemy of the three realms. The two sages should not make a mistake. If you openly express your support for the demon race, it's hard to say what will happen in other places, but within my sphere of influence, the Western Sect will be labeled as a heretical sect and everyone will want to kill it."
"If Heaven doesn't award merit for killing Western followers, I will!"
Looking at the two Western Saints, Ao Bing threatened them in a cold voice. Though it was called a threat, he knew in his own voice that it would be completely useless against them.
No matter what he says, the two Western Saints will support the demon race.
Because the demon race is currently their only ally, if they offend the demon race, then after the demon race falls, it will be the Western Sect's turn to suffer the consequences.
Therefore, even if it's just for the benefit of the Western Religion, the two Western Saints will protect the demon race to the death.
Ao Bing knew this perfectly well, yet he still threatened the two Western Saints, simply to find a legitimate reason to take action against them in the future.
You see, after what he said today, if he attacks the Western Religion again, it won't be seen as bullying the weak, but rather as the Western Religion deliberately courting death.
They've already been given a chance, but they won't listen and insist on getting involved with the demon race. So don't blame Ao Bing for taking drastic measures.
"The Star Lord is truly domineering. He says the demon race is a great scourge, and the demon race is a great scourge; he says my Western Religion is an evil cult, and my Western Religion is an evil cult."
"Is this primordial world your personal fiefdom, where whatever you say goes? Where does that leave Fellow Daoist Haotian?"
The Sage Zhunti, who was already seething with anger, could no longer hold back after being threatened by Ao Bing and spoke sarcastically.
However, despite his anger, Sage Zhunti did not lose his mind. While mocking Ao Bing, he also brought up the Jade Emperor, attempting to provoke conflict between the two.
After all, Ao Bing's previous actions were indeed too domineering, making it seem as if he were the Heavenly Emperor.
However, although the Jade Emperor had lost his power and no longer had the real authority to rule the primordial world, he was still nominally the master of the primordial world.
Ao Bing's actions certainly showed that he didn't take him seriously.
"Sage Zhunti is only good at showing off his petty cleverness. When have I ever acted as the Heavenly Emperor? I have already said that I will only designate the Western Religion as a heretical sect within my sphere of influence."
"Apart from that, I did not interfere, nor did I have the ability to interfere."
“If I were truly going to exercise the power of the Heavenly Emperor and disregard the Jade Emperor, I wouldn’t have added this restriction.”
Ao Bing retorted that now was not the time to turn against the Jade Emperor, so even if he truly coveted the throne, he couldn't possibly show it. (End of Chapter)
