Fox Demon: Why did your brother beat you up every day at the beginning of the month?

"Ha, you really believe someone can replace you?"

"Well, who knows? But I believe that as long as humanity unites and stands together against external forces, their power will be unstoppable."

"All of this is just wishful thinking on your part. Most people are foolish and ignorant. They can't distinguish right from wrong. They only know whoever can give them a full meal, and they will follow them."

Dongfang Haoyang was slightly surprised, and for the first time he looked at the Third Young Master who was standing with his arms crossed.

"What? Why do I know so much about this?"

"I am, after all, one of the creators of several races, and I am aware of the inherent flaws of the human race."

"Yes, you're right, but that's just your one-sided view. Ignorance can be eliminated, and it is my mission to educate people and unite the whole tribe."

"Heh, aren't you afraid of being betrayed by the human race?"

Dongfang Haoyang smiled, his hands behind his back, his eyes deep and bright.

"I am not the ruler of the human race, but a member of the human race, a servant, and a necessary condition for creating a better future for the human race. So how can there be any betrayal?"

"As long as I can ensure that all people in the world have enough to eat and live a good life, then after me, whoever can do this, the capable people of this world should naturally take my place!"

"This world has never belonged to any one person, but to all people."

The Third Young Master watched the boy with the ahoge (cowlick) walk away, puzzled. He didn't know why Dongfang Haoyang was doing all this. He clearly held immense power and strength, yet he seemed so indifferent to worldly desires.

What was his motive...?

"I don't understand what you're pursuing."

Dongfang Haoyang waved his hand, turned around and smiled faintly at the Third Young Master.

"You wouldn't understand, because you haven't experienced days of hunger and cold, nor have you experienced the belief that millions of people, knowing the hope was slim, still went forward one after another, risking their lives to work together to create a peaceful and stable world for future generations."

"I only remember a great man saying that this world does not belong to any one person, but to the millions of people."

"We are not the ones who live forever, the people are!"

Watching the boy with the ahoge laugh loudly and gradually disappear into the air, a look of shock and confusion appeared in the Third Young Master's eyes.

He had seen countless people in the world, but this young man was the most special. Even Xiao Wumu had never uttered such a powerful and moving statement.

With his power, he might really be able to do these things...

Or perhaps it was just wishful thinking on his part, which would eventually be swallowed up by the long river of history...

Domination, beauty, power, authority, and the inherent greed of humanity—things even he himself couldn't change, so how could he possibly change them alone?

Suddenly, the Third Young Master paused, carefully recalling Haoyang's words.

"We... are fellow travelers!"

The Third Young Master suddenly smiled with relief. This human had never thought that he could solve everything by himself. Instead, he had long planned to turn this idea into a belief and cultivate others to follow in his footsteps.

"Heh, this guy really dares to dream big. Oh well, these are things I can't control anymore, but the future will probably be more interesting."

The third young master smiled faintly, then transformed into a golden light and vanished into the air.

…………

Three days later, Dongfang Haoyang took office as the new leader of the Dao Alliance.

The ancestral lands within the Li family clan.

"Master Li, someone outside requests an audience."

In the dark cellar, a middle-aged man sat in a wheelchair, staring blankly at the dramatic, colorful mask on the table.

"not see……"

He said he was an old friend of yours.

"I said... I won't see you..."

The servant nodded slightly and left helplessly.

Inside the cellar, a middle-aged man with blue hair, sitting in a wheelchair, looked dejected. Just as he was about to push the wheelchair back into the secret room, he heard a sound.

"Third brother."

In an instant, the blue-haired middle-aged man's eyes lit up! He turned around sharply and looked at the white-haired middle-aged man standing at the door.

"Big brother?! What brings you here?"

"Heh, would you have seen me if I hadn't come?"

Wang Quanba looked at his brother Li Quzhuo, who used to sit in a wheelchair. His eyes were no longer lifeless, but instead held the sharp gaze of the masked swordsman he once was, even though his body was gradually aging.

However, now free from inner demons, he has rediscovered the sword spirit he lost that year.

Because a young human, a top-tier powerhouse, has accomplished what they could not: successfully exploring beyond the circle, eliminating the creatures there, and returning safely! This has broken the ban on humans entering the circle.

Snapped!

A black fox that was dissipating was thrown by Ba Ye at Li Quzhuo's feet.

When Li Quzhuo saw the black fox lying dead at his feet, gradually dissipating, his eyes suddenly trembled!

"What, what is this!?"

His cloudy eyes widened instantly, shining brightly, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

More than a decade has passed! Finally! Finally, that damned Black Fox who killed his brother and stole his elder brother's power, ambition, and sword heart has been killed!

"Hahaha! Hahahaha!"

"Big brother! Big brother! Tell me quickly! Who killed this wicked black fox!"

"He is my eldest nephew, the Taoist priest from Tushan. He is actually the son of Huaizhu's sister, Qin Lan, and is now the new leader of the Wangquan family and the Taoist Alliance, Dongfang Haoyang."

"Dongfang Haoyang... is that the one who defeated the Third Young Master in the Beishan area many years ago, the strongest in the world?!"

"Yes, he also successfully accomplished what we didn't have time to do back then."

"Good nephew! Hahaha, what a good nephew! You must take me to meet him when you have time. We all owe him a huge favor."

"Now those old brothers underground can finally rest in peace, and we can face them with our heads held high..."

As Li Quzhuo, sitting in his wheelchair, spoke, tears streamed down his face uncontrollably. For so many years, he had been holding onto this anger, enduring the agony of nightmares night after night.

All they longed for was to one day witness the emergence of a human prodigy, even stronger than themselves, possessing unparalleled talent, who could avenge their Masked Gang and their brothers! Now, that revenge has finally been taken! He had finally waited for it!

Li Quzhuo felt incredibly relieved and liberated. He could finally live without the guilt he felt towards his brothers.

"I've come to ask you for a favor, Third Brother, and it's also for the sake of my eldest nephew."

"Brother, please tell me! As long as it's within my old bones' power, I'll do it even if it falls apart, to help our nephew complete it!"

Wang Quanba nodded with a smile, and a floating golden mask appeared in his hand.

"Yes, I want to record the moves of each brother in our Masked Troupe on these masks so that our descendants can use them! He also wants to create various magical artifacts that ordinary people without magic power can use."

As we all know, magical artifacts cannot function without magical power. The fact that Dongfang Haoyang wants to create magical artifacts that can operate without magical power shows just how difficult it is to manufacture them.

Li Quzhuo knew, of course, how difficult it was to create a magical artifact that could be activated without magic power, but he still nodded emphatically with a look of delight.

"No matter how difficult or painful it is, even if it costs me my old bones, I will still help my nephew forge the magical artifact. Brother, you can rest assured!"

"Yes, I'll also live here to help you. Now that I've relinquished my position as head of the Wangquan family, it's so I can work with you on this research!"

"Alright, brother! Let's unite as one and work together to break through any obstacle!"

"Our eldest nephew will surely forge the most glorious and powerful human race in history!"

The two of them then devoted themselves to their research in the Li family's secret room, neglecting to eat or sleep.

The first thing Dongfang Haoyang, the leader of the Dao Alliance, did upon taking office was to officially announce the long-awaited peace decree between humans and demons.

All the major demon realms! Tu Shan Hong Hong, the King of Tu Shan, Shi Kuan, the Demon Emperor of the Northern Mountain, Huan Du Qing Tian, ​​the Poison Emperor of the Southern Kingdom, and Fan Yun Fei of the Western Regions all expressed their willingness to abide by his laws.

Various demon races also began to formally establish diplomatic relations with the human race, and the Dao Alliance and the newly established Demon Alliance formally signed a peace agreement.

Thus, the war between humans and demons that had lasted for thousands of years officially came to an end, and a real reconciliation was publicly reached between humans and demons.

Interestingly, when the monument to this Tushan Daoist was erected, there was a cute little fox head on the chest of the marble statue, and a beautiful little fox demon with nine tails was sitting on the shoulder of the statue.

It is said that they are the two wives of this Taoist priest, but it is unknown whether it is true or not. However, there are indeed rumors that the Taoist priest's wife is a fox demon from Tushan, but now the concept of peace between humans and demons has taken root in people's hearts.

Whether someone is human or demon becomes less important.

The world respectfully calls this Tushan Daoist, who ended the millennia-long war between humans and demons, and the new leader of the Dao Alliance, the Flame Emperor.
