I create patterns, regardless of your level of expertise.

When it came to serious matters, Li Hao became unusually serious.

Seeing this, the others sat up straight. If you were to ask who was the most panicked among everyone present, it would undoubtedly be the demon race.

After all, it seems that the Spirit Clan and Li Hao have some connection, but the Demon Clan has no connection at all, and they don't know how they will be targeted later.

But what can be done now that things have come to this?

Since we've already decided to come, we're prepared to sacrifice ourselves to save the majority. So, we'll just have to accept it.

"First of all," Li Hao said calmly, looking around at everyone, "from now on, in the four realms, only the human race will be allowed to dominate."

"Apart from the human race, the spirit and demon races are not allowed to give birth to any new Twelfth Realm beings from now on, unless permission is granted."

"Don't rush to accuse me of being a dictator or anything like that. As the Human Emperor, I should naturally prioritize the interests of the human race."

The very first condition he made caused the demons to lose their composure.

If no new Twelfth Realm is allowed to appear, wouldn't we be forever suppressed by the human race?

Secretly advancing? If you don't get caught, that's fine, but if you are, they'll have a legitimate reason to attack you openly and carry out a righteous gang-up.

Blocked at both ends.

"What about those of us who have already advanced to the twelfth realm?" another demon god couldn't help but ask.

Li Hao glanced at him and said, "I have other plans for you. We'll talk about this later."

"Do you agree to this first condition?"

The lobby fell silent for a moment, but thankfully it didn't stay quiet for long before Ling Yuan took the initiative to express his opinion.

"Can!"

"Anyway, most people don't have the chance to advance to the twelfth realm anyway. This condition seems harsh, but in reality, it doesn't affect many individuals."

Because of their "secret teachings," the Spirit Race actually finds it easier to produce experts at the twelfth realm than the Spirit Race.

Even the human race, which has the easiest path to advancement and virtually no barriers to improvement, cannot compare.

After all, the human race has no entry barriers, but it needs resources. The Elven race's "Secret Treasury" comes with its own resources, so its resource consumption needs are far lower than the other three races.

As soon as Ling Yuan finished speaking, a demon from the demon race sneered, "You make it sound so easy."

"Anyway, that's all that's left of your Spirit Race. The Spirit Realm is gone, so you're naturally happy about it."

The other side of the demon realm is the spirit realm, so they naturally knew immediately that the spirit realm had disappeared.

Who knows where the Spirit Clan went? If something really happens, the remaining Spirit Clan with Ling Yuan will be the last of them. They should be grateful to God for giving them a chance to survive.

They couldn't be happier than to submit to the human race when Li Hao wanted them to.

Was Li Hao's condition really as easy as Ling Yuan said? Of course not.

In the present moment, the loss may seem small, but it is the future that is being offered.

The number of powerhouses at the twelfth realm that can be born in a given period of time is limited, but what if we extend the time span?

Li Hao's words clearly meant that, unless permitted, the Twelfth Realm should never be born.

Do I have to depend on your attitude to advance? Who would be happy in that situation?

Ling Yuan looked at the demon god who had spoken and said coldly, "You can refuse."

With just five simple words, the demon god was silenced completely.

If they could refuse, they wouldn't have come.

It was the Demon Emperor who finally made the decision, saying, "I accept this first condition, Human Emperor, let's continue."

The other demon gods, though indignant, knew there was nothing they could do.

Li Hao continued, "Secondly, I want your demon race's Five-Colored Sacred Soil and your spirit race's Abundant Spirit Soil."

This condition is much more acceptable. After all, no matter how good this thing is, it's still just an external thing, and there's no need to gamble with the future.

After all, this thing is rare to begin with, and even fewer demons can actually use it, so there's no harm in giving it away.

"Yes, we accept." The Demon Emperor stated on the spot.

However, Ling Yuan hesitated and said, "Of course I have no objection, but the problem is that our Spirit Clan's Abundant Spirit Soil grows in the Spirit Realm. Even if I wanted to give it to them now, I couldn't."

Li Hao didn't care and said, "It's fine as long as you agree."

"As long as the Spirit Race agrees to fully merge with us, then the Spirit Realm will be my territory, and I will take back what's mine."

Lingyuan wanted to ask how to get it back, but he didn't even know where the Spirit Realm had flown to.

But then she thought, it's one thing if it's someone else, but it's Li Hao who's speaking, so what is she going to doubt?

"Alright! As long as you can find the Spirit Realm and the Abundant Spirit Land, I will offer them to you immediately."

Seeing that everyone agreed, Li Hao nodded and continued, "The third point is just as I just said."

"I want both of your tribes to be completely integrated into this society. From now on, you will inherit the same culture, intermarry, and be intertwined with each other."

These words instantly made the demons restless.

"Intermarriage is allowed? Your Majesty, is this true?!"

What kind of condition is this? This is clearly a benefit offered!

They had already considered that after surrendering, they would inevitably become second-class citizens, inferior to humans, and from then on, the demon race would have to consider the whims of the human race in everything they did.

But now, Li Hao is actually allowing them to intermarry?!

Intermarriage implies that both parties are considered equals.

They were all mentally prepared to be treated as lowly people, but then they were told they could become citizens. How could they not be surprised?

Li Hao retorted, "I meant learning and inheriting human culture, and intermarriage. Did you all forget the first part of my sentence?"

"Of course not, human culture is great, and we should learn about culture."

The gloomy expressions on the faces of the demon gods finally showed signs of clearing away.

Culture? What culture do those demons have? We'd rather not learn that dregs.

Looking at their expressions, Li Hao said again, "No, what are you thinking now? I'm asking you to learn human culture, not to completely abandon your own."

"Good things should be passed down, do you understand intangible cultural heritage?... Sigh, never mind, it can't be explained in a few words, let's find time to talk about it in detail later."

"How about the third condition?"

This third condition resolved their biggest frustration, so what more needs to be said?

"promise!"

"promise!"

Li Hao glanced at them, sighed helplessly, and then composed himself.

"The fourth point, and the last point."

"This isn't just for you; all humans, listen up!"

Upon hearing this, the four human war gods who had been standing in the background all turned to look over.

What about their affairs?

Under everyone's gaze, Li Hao took a deep breath, a flash of anger in his eyes.

"Fourth point."

"I will absolutely not allow the incident involving the Heavenly Puppet Sect to happen again with one of our own people."

The spirit and demon races were completely bewildered upon hearing this, as they had no idea what the Heavenly Puppet Sect incident was. They could only hurriedly send a telepathic message to the four human martial gods to ask.

The situation is quite clear for the human race. After all, Li Hao caused such a huge commotion back then, directly wiping out one of the four strongest human forces. It's hard not to know about it.

After they explained the situation to the spirit and demon races, the scene fell silent once again.
