Eat, eat, eat in the primordial world

Chapter 87 Taking Advantage of an Excuse

The demon race has no shortage of geniuses, so Bai Ze quickly selected a new group of people. They were all chosen from the Starry Sky Demon Race, and none of them came from the Nine Heavens Demon Race.

The Starry Sky Demon Clan, as the name suggests, is a demon clan that resides in the starry sky. They are the true core of the demon race, the elite of the elite, composed of the three hundred and sixty demon gods of the heavens and their descendants.

They reside in the center of the starry sky, and both their environment and the cultivation resources they use surpass those of the Nine Heavens Demon Clan.

Therefore, the Nine Heavens Demon Clan considers it an honor to venture into the starry sky, as it equates to a promotion. To put it more vividly, it's like moving from the outer sect to the inner sect, where one receives better treatment.

"Heroes of the world are truly as numerous as carp crossing a river..."

Seeing Bai Ze casually summon a group of prodigies, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but sigh. Compared to the demon race, the East Sea coast where the human race lived was indeed a small place.

The demon race prodigies that Bai Ze just summoned were all innate true spirits, and their talents were no less than Mu Jiao's, and many even surpassed him.

Even with such talent, he was still not considered a core disciple in the demon race.

It can only be said that there are just too many geniuses among the demon race, so many that they are almost overflowing, to the point that they have to compete with each other to stand out.

If you don't compete fiercely, even if you're a genius, you'll only be an ordinary person in the demon race, with no chance of ever getting ahead.

"The demon race is so powerful. If it weren't for the witch race as an enemy, I really can't imagine what methods we would use to make it decline and withdraw from the stage of history."

Jiang Yuan is now certain that, judging from the strength and potential shown by the demon race, if they hadn't encountered the witch race who possessed the bloodline of Pangu, they would have been able to unify the prehistoric world and conquer all races.

Compared to them, humans are nothing but ants. Fortunately, although the demon race is strong, it also has powerful enemies.

Otherwise, judging from the demon race's performance, Jiang Yuan really didn't know how the human race would replace them, and he couldn't see any hope at all.

"Now that everyone is here, let's begin. We'll start with Mintian, then Cangtian, Juntian, Haotian... and finally Yantian."

Once everything was ready, Jiang Yuan spoke to Bai Ze.

The moment he finished speaking, Bai Ze immediately sensed something was wrong. Why emphasize putting Yan Tian last? Was he overthinking it?

"The Flame Heaven Demon Clan seems to have ill intentions towards me, so I deliberately put them last. This way, I can take the opportunity to improve my strength and avoid making a mistake in the Flame Heaven and embarrassing my master."

Before Bai Ze could ask, Jiang Yuan took the initiative to explain the reason.

"Oh, this..."

"Is there some misunderstanding here? The Flaming Heaven Demon Clan is a former subordinate of Nuwa. They are too busy supporting you, so how could they possibly harbor any ill intentions towards you?"

After a moment of silence, Bai Ze chuckled awkwardly. As Di Jun's confidant, he knew very well that most of the demons in Yan Tian had already secretly sworn allegiance to Di Jun.

Therefore, seeing that Jiang Yuan intended to target the Yantian Demon Clan, he had no choice but to speak up for them to prevent Jiang Yuan from actually attacking them.

If the Yantian Demon Clan weren't Di Jun's people, Bai Ze would be happy to watch the show if Jiang Yuan attacked them. But since the Yantian Demon Clan were, Bai Ze couldn't just watch; on the contrary, he had to find a way to stop it.

The wrath of a sage is not something the insignificant Flame Heaven Demon Clan can withstand. And if the Flame Heaven Demon Clan were to be wiped out, Emperor Jun would suffer a great loss.

"There is no misunderstanding. A good bird chooses a good tree to perch on. Since Master has already left the demon race, it is normal for the Yantian demon race to find a new master for better development. There is nothing to criticize."

"But since they've already found new masters, why did they still invite me to become the Lord of Yantian?"

"If this isn't because they harbor malicious intentions, then it's because their new master is dissatisfied with my master and is trying to embarrass him by scheming against me."

Staring at Bai Ze, Jiang Yuan spoke in a serious tone. His words were less directed at Bai Ze and more at Di Jun.

He wanted to tell Di Jun the seriousness of the matter, that it was either because the Yantian Demon Clan harbored malicious intentions towards him, or because Di Jun was dissatisfied with the Goddess Nuwa.

Choose one of the two options; let's see which one Dijun chooses.

Choosing the former means watching Jiang Yuan purge the Yantian Demon Clan. Choosing the latter will expose his conflict with the Goddess Nuwa.

The cost was greater than the annihilation of the Yantian Demon Clan. Therefore, although it seemed like a choice between two options, Di Jun actually had no choice but to abandon the Yantian Demon Clan.

And this is exactly what Jiang Yuan wants. The Flame Heaven Demon Clan thought they would be safe if they submitted to Di Jun, but how could that be? Even if Di Jun protects them, once they have Jiang Yuan, they will still be dealt with as they should be.

"Why……"

Upon hearing this, Bai Ze sighed heavily and fell silent. Just now, he had already calculated the cause and effect of the matter, which was not complicated.

Not all the demons of the Flaming Heavens submitted to Di Jun; some remained loyal to the Goddess Nuwa.

The problem lies with them!

In their minds, it was only natural for Nuwa's disciple to succeed as the Lord of Yantian, and no one would object. So, they took it upon themselves to extend an invitation to Jiang Yuan.

Then things went wrong. How could the Flame Heaven Demon Clan, who had already pledged allegiance to Di Jun, possibly agree to this? They refused on the spot.

However, their refusal made it seem as if their previous invitation had ulterior motives, thus giving Jiang Yuan a reason to make a fuss.

To be honest, this was all a misunderstanding. A magnanimous person would have just laughed it off. But Jiang Yuan was different; he was petty and narrow-minded, and he wanted to use this as an excuse to settle scores with the Yantian Demon Clan.

Although Bai Ze was furious, there was nothing he could do to stop it. After all, the Yantian Demon Clan was unreliable, giving Jiang Yuan a reason to cause trouble.

They have the upper hand. Even if they take the case to Di Jun, Di Jun will still protect Jiang Yuan, not the Yan Tian demon clan.

If he chooses to protect the Flaming Demon Clan, it's like mud falling into his pants—even if it's not excrement, it'll still look like excrement. Everyone will think he's using this as an opportunity to express his dissatisfaction with Nuwa, and no amount of explanation will help.

"As for the matter of Yan Tian, ​​fellow Daoist, you shall decide for yourself. As an outsider, it is not appropriate for me to say too much. Let us take care of the important matters first."

Seeing that he couldn't handle the matter himself, Bai Ze simply stopped caring and told Jiang Yuan to take care of important business first. As for how to deal with the Yantian Demon Clan, he had already told Di Jun the truth, and it was up to him to decide whether to save them or not.

"Of course, we must attend to important matters, but before that, there is a problem that needs to be solved. That is, the Nine Heavens are too vast, and just traveling there will take up a lot of time. Therefore, I have an idea, fellow Daoist, please listen and see if it is reliable."

Jiang Yuan didn't intend to make things difficult for Bai Ze about the matter of Yan Tian. Seeing that Bai Ze was unwilling to talk about it, he took the opportunity to change the subject and brought up the matter of the teleportation array.

He had just realized that drawing maps and compiling a guide to spiritual herbs would require traveling all over the Nine Heavens. Since that was the case, why not just build a teleportation array while he was at it?
