There were not many people present, but the banquet was extremely sumptuous. The wine flowed like water as well. A few men drank while the women left early to find a place to chat.
After a while, the Martial Saints of the Fox Clan took their leave as well, leaving only the three brothers behind.
"Big brother, do you have any plans now that the situation has come to this?" Yun Yang asked.
"I've always prided myself on being resourceful, but facing the current situation, I really don't have any ideas …" The Fox Emperor frowned, his heart heavy.
"Big brother, we're brothers. What can't we say to each other? With your intelligence, how can you really not have an idea? I just don't want to be the Demon Race's eternal sinner. Even if the demons betray me, I won't betray them." Yun Yang smiled and said.
The Fox Emperor heaved a long sigh.
Hearing that, the Cat Ancestor's eyes widened. "Fox, you actually have a way to deal with the current situation?"
"There is a way … indeed. But if I do that … the Demon Race will miss the only chance we have. We probably won't have any more chances to march into the Bound of Universe and conquer the human race. "
The Fox Emperor sighed and said, "Even if third brother is here, I'd say the same. The three of us are like-minded and have become brothers. However, humans and demons walk different paths after all. Our standpoints are different. Just like what Third Brother has said, even if demons betray me, I will not betray them. As a demon for a lifetime, one must have a bottom line. "
The Cat Ancestor rebuked him angrily, "Don't talk about righteousness with me. Just tell me what idea you have. It's already a matter of life and death for the two races, and you still have to worry about this and that. Since when is the rise and fall of the Demon Race something you need to worry about?"
"This idea of mine is only limited to thinking about it. It might work in theory at most, but if it's really implemented, the success rate is less than one in ten thousand. There must be super experts guarding that place now. With the Phoenix Emperor's intelligence, how can he not think of this …" The Fox Emperor looked melancholy.
The Cat Ancestor panicked. "Can't you just say it? Don't beat around the bush!"
"Now that the world is in turmoil, the entire territory of the Fox Clan has turned into a body of water. They might be attacked by the experts of the Sea Race or Water Race at any time. They're not making a move now because they're waiting for the right time. Once the time is right, they'll surely stir up a storm and set off a monstrous wave that will charge towards the Blood Soul Mountain. "
"At that time, it's still unknown whether the Bloodsoul Mountain will be breached, but our two great clans will bear the brunt of it, and it'll be difficult for us to escape the calamity of annihilation! Even in the best situation, I'm afraid only one in ten thousand would be able to struggle and survive! "
Cat Ancestor's eyes were scarlet red: "Our two great races, in addition to the other races that originally lived here, the total number of lifeforms is no less than 10 billion! That's tens of billions of lives we're talking about. Don't tell me … you're going to remain indifferent? Most of them are your Fox Clan's people! "
Fox Emperor murmured: "Now that things have come to this, there's no turning back. If we can't break through the Bloodsoul Mountain in one fell swoop, the Monster Clan will have trillions of people perish … If there's no way to vent, the entire Monster Realm, other than the Water Race and Sea Race forces, all the other races will face a calamity of annihilation …"
Cat Ancestor said stubbornly: "This calamity was incited by them in the first place, what does it have to do with me whether they die or not? I just want to protect my people, you just need to tell me your method, don't say any other nonsense."
"If I'm not wrong …" Fox Emperor said solemnly: "For such a long time, the majority of the Saint Venerable and above battle strength of the various races have not shown themselves … The battle strength participating in the battle of the Bloodsoul Mountain seems to be much more frequent than in the past, but it's just a smokescreen for the frequent rotation. Right now, the total number of people participating in the battle of the Bloodsoul Mountain is less than one-ten-thousandth of the entire Monster Clan's experts!"
"Then where have the other experts gone? The answer is obvious."
"Other than those who are guarding the headquarters of the various races, there's only one place they've gone to. Do you know where it is?"
Fox Emperor suddenly threw out a question.
Cat Ancestor felt that he was confused by Fox Emperor: "How would I know? I'm the one asking you, why are you asking me instead? "
"You should know."
Fox Emperor said solemnly: "As long as you think about it carefully, how could you not think of it … why has there been torrential rain every single day this year? Why is the temperature so abnormal, rising by so much? Why is even the Bloodsoul Mountain, a snow mountain that hasn't melted for millions of years, melting? "
"All of this, is a plan, all premeditated!"
Fox Emperor's eyes were half-closed as he said: "If I'm not wrong … the interior of the other mountain ranges of the Monster Clan that are connected to the Bloodsoul Mountain have all changed … Now, I'm afraid that all the volcanoes in the Monster Realm have been shifted to the surroundings of the Bloodsoul Mountain. If not for this, why would the climate change to such an extent? "
Cat Ancestor was dumbfounded, clearly unable to keep up with Fox Emperor's train of thought.
"I think that the key to this situation isn't just the second. If I'm not wrong, the mountain ranges on the other side of the sea are also shifting over here, from a quantitative change to a qualitative change, forcefully suppressing the space, causing the flow of the sea to gradually shift over here!"
"Perhaps there is a third or fourth reason, but I can't guess more than that."
Cat Ancestor's eyes widened, both his hands were trembling.
With his level of cultivation, how could he not know that it wasn't too difficult for a Paragon level cultivator to shift a mountain range, but even a peak Paragon level cultivator wouldn't be able to shift a very large mountain.
But what if many Paragons or even Monarchs joined forces?
The entire Monster Clan had hundreds of thousands of Monarchs!
What if there was even the help of Half-Sage powerhouses?
To shift those mountain ranges that weren't reinforced by Saint Power was a huge project that required a lot of time and effort. It was difficult, but it wasn't impossible!
They didn't do it before because no one had thought of it, and even if they had thought of it, no one had the authority to make such a big move!
But if the Phoenix Emperor came up with this plan, then it would be a completely different matter. The Phoenix Emperor was the only Monster below the Monster Emperor that had such authority and such boldness!
"Now that I think about it, the high level Monster Cultivators belonging to the Phoenix Clan have rarely appeared on the Monster Continent since 5000 years ago! What … did they go to do? "
The Fox Emperor said coldly, "The Phoenix Emperor has never placed all his hopes on a single plan. No matter how perfect the plan is, the Phoenix Emperor has to hold back in case of unexpected changes."
"I can almost say with certainty … that the Phoenix Clan had already started this plan from 5000 years ago, but they were moving on the other side of the sea. Other than the sea, it was a barren land where humans and animals couldn't survive, so we didn't notice them at all."
"In total, it took about 5000 years. With all the experts of the Phoenix Clan working together, how far could they shift that mountain range over here?"
"Even if it's the most conservative guess, it must be tens of thousands of miles!"
"Shifting these tens of thousands of miles of mountains over is enough to lock down the direction of the sea! At the same time, the snow mountains on the other side of the sea began to melt, and the snow water flowed into the sea. After that, the sea could only expand to the other side! "
"If the surroundings are also undergoing similar shifts … it's obvious that the sea will only expand to our side … which is the direction of the Blood Soul Mountain!"
"Although this is the stupidest method and consumes a lot of time and energy, as long as we put in enough effort, it's the most effective method!"
"Although we didn't notice it all these years, we know that the sea is gradually expanding year by year. Do you remember where the Wolf Clan, which has lived in the Vast Expanse for more than 4000 years, has moved to? "
"Also, where was the original home of the White-tailed Tiger Clan 3,500 years ago? Where have they moved to now? "
"Also …"
"These clans used to live well in their own territories. Every clan has lived in their original home for at least a thousand years. Why would they move? It's because of the expansion of the sea, which caused the environment to change, and it's no longer what it used to be! "
"Now, we're following in the footsteps of those clans. We've become a swamp country."
"The water here must be connected to the sea! All they need is a suitable opportunity, a high tide, and the experts of the Sea Clan, and they'll be able to drown this place! "
"From then on, this place will only be a part of the sea! The reason why they haven't done so yet is because they feel that the time isn't ripe. After all, if the water spreads to the foot of the Bloody Soul Mountain, the humans will definitely be alarmed. "
"They want to gather more water, and then they'll be more confident!"
"Or perhaps, the Phoenix Emperor and the others haven't prepared a certain crucial step. After all, such a huge move must be successful in one go, and the opportunity won't come again …"
The Fox Emperor said seriously, "With my understanding of the Phoenix Emperor, it's fine if he doesn't make a move, but once he does, he must have full confidence that he'll use the huge move that's been going on for five thousand years to shake the Bloody Soul Mountain!"
"When that time comes, it'll be the chance for the entire Demon Race! All the sacrifices in this process will be worth it! "
"On the contrary, if the attack fails, it'll be the starting point of the Demon Race's decline, and their destruction will be inevitable!"
The Cat Ancestor was dumbfounded.
His eyes were wide open, so shocked that he did not know what to say. He could only feel that his mind was a mess!
Yun Yang sat on the side, pouring himself a cup of wine, a faint smile hanging on the corners of his lips.
The Fox Emperor's voice grew more sorrowful. "Do you understand now? No matter how hard we plan now, everything will be in vain. When the time is right, countless volcanoes will erupt together, shaking the heaven and earth. Coupled with the violent earthquakes that will shake the earth's veins, and all the experts of the sea clan will act together to stir up the waves. Even if the waves are tens of thousands of feet high, piercing the sky and striking the earth, I won't be surprised. Once the movement is started, it won't stop, it'll only become more and more ferocious, one wave higher than the one before, until it breaks through the barrier, it'll be a flat plain for thousands of miles. "
"As long as the Bloody Soul Mountain is breached, even the results of the war between the two races won't be important anymore, because the Demon Race will have too much hope of survival. Their territory is as vast as the Bound of Universe, they can just find a place to stay. The difference between mystical beasts and demonic beasts is huge …"
"I believe that the human race won't pay too much attention to the Demon Race then. What they need to urgently solve is the massive flood. No matter what, they can buy a considerable amount of buffer time for the Demon Race."
"On the other hand, if the flood doesn't break through the Bloody Soul Mountain, the one who will suffer from the flood will be the entire Demon Race … Of all the Demon Race's citizens in the Demon Realm, a trillion lives … I'm afraid that the number of survivors won't be more than a hundred million …"
"With such a high death rate, isn't it no different from the annihilation of the Demon Race on land?"
"As for the Sea Clan who's currently in power, what will they do?"
"How can any member of the Demon Race be willing to see such a situation?"
"If the Phoenix Emperor doesn't have a certain level of confidence … why would he do this?"
The Fox Emperor smiled sadly. "There's a way now, but it's only a temporary solution. For example … the two of us can bring our trusted experts and sneak over with a few people, right at the edge of the Fox Clan's territory. We can move away the few mountains where the waterway flows to, or we can open a path … so that the water will no longer flow through the Fox Clan's territory, but will instead leak elsewhere."
"This is the solution I'm talking about."
"But this solution is only theoretically feasible."
"If we can open up a gap over there, the Phoenix Emperor and the others can plug it up again. Also, once we make a move, we can only stay at those key points and defend the gap to ensure the results. But how can the Phoenix Emperor and the others sit back and watch their plan fail? The final battle of the Demon Race's internal strife will definitely erupt over there. "
"With the Demon Race's current strength, it's easy for them to crush our two races' strength! So, even if we can temporarily succeed, we will still be killed over there in the end. Once we die, the gap will still be plugged up, and the Fox Clan will still be drowned by the sea. For the Bloody Soul Mountain, they might be able to delay a little, but the final result will still be the same! "
The Fox Emperor looked powerlessly at the Cat Ancestor and said, "This is the solution I'm talking about. Apart from this, there's no other solution. It's like drinking poison to quench thirst, it's nothing more than this. "
The Cat Ancestor frowned and thought for a long time, then lowered his head dejectedly.
That's right, there really wasn't any other solution.
This was water, a huge amount of water. If there wasn't a suitable method to clear the channels, the water would only gather more and more.
The Fox Emperor smiled coldly and said in a low voice, "Cat, do you still remember that a long time ago, our land Demon Race and the Sea Demon Race often fought? Back then, in order to stop the expansion of the sea, we often went out to fight. "
"Of course I remember."
The Cat Ancestor nodded.
"At that time, it was practically a fight for every inch of land."
The Fox Emperor said indifferently, "Until today, it has already been over ten thousand years since there was such a fight between land and sea … Wherever the sea expands, the land Demon Race will retreat to where … There are no more conflicts."
"The Sea Demon Race is getting stronger and stronger, and the unbridled expansion of the sea, isn't that what they once dreamed of?"
"Or to the Sea Demon Race, the sea drowning the entire Bound of Heaven Earth, that is what they hope to see the most!"
"The Sea Demon Race will not consider how the land Demon Race will survive. And the Phoenix Emperor's plan can be said to be in harmony with the Sea Demon Race's upper echelons. They will only agree, and definitely won't oppose it. "
"But what if the water can't break through the Bloody Soul Mountain? Not just the ordinary Demon Race, even those Great Demons and Great Demons, as well as the upper echelons of the land Demon Race, will all perish in the hands of the Sea Demon Race sooner or later! "
"Because at that stage, the Demon Territory will already rarely have land, and everything will be turned into the sea!"
When the Cat Ancestor thought of that scene, he couldn't help but shudder.
