"Executing the Apocalyptic Strategy would easily result in the death of billions of lives. It's too cruel. Even as a Demon Emperor, I don't wish for so many people to die at once. However, when I wanted to discuss it with my brothers, I was shocked to realize that I've not been in contact with them for a long time …"
"I've offended many of my brothers inadvertently. For example, the Roc Emperor. It was just a small matter, but I felt offended and chased him out of Demon Imperial City with cold words. The Tiger Emperor came to explain for the Cat Emperor, but I vented my anger on him, accusing him of colluding with the tiger and the cat, saying that he could no longer enter Demon Imperial City if he wasn't summoned. I scolded him on the spot … The Eagle Emperor came to explain for the Nine-Tailed White, but I scolded him and he left without looking back … "
"As for those brothers with special abilities, they've long disappeared …"
"Then, I had a bunch of things …"
"For a long time, everyone thought that I was afraid of the Nine Lives, so I didn't mention it. They didn't know that this has always been the thing that puzzled me. How could such a thing happen? Every night, I dream about it … Bai Yi is one of the three wise men of the Demon Race and was once the military advisor of millions of troops … How could he have a conflict with my son for no reason?"
"Although my son is immature, he has always kept a respectful distance from elders like Bai Yi, not daring to provoke them. How could he have done such a crazy thing?"
"How could my son not know Bai Yi's daughter and daughter-in-law? They've always gathered together, so why didn't this happen before? "
"The bizarre turn of events, the bizarre deaths …. And then there's the sudden outburst of thunderous rage from the nine lives …. They didn't ask what was right or wrong, and then slaughtered their way into the Imperial Palace ….
Yun Yang interrupted, "Since Your Majesty already has doubts, why didn't you investigate it?"
The Spirit Demon Emperor nodded his head, but then shook his head: "How is it that I have never thought of investigating clearly, but when I wanted to investigate, I then remembered that the Xiao Huan who was famous for its divination and the Peacock who predicted the future had already been extinct for a long time. At that moment, I was unable to find out where to start. In addition, I had the mentality of being the leader of the Spirit Demon Race, and always felt that I was the Emperor. Even if the Emperor was in the wrong, as an official, I should not leave any leeway and reprimand him for his wrongdoings …"
"Also, the Phoenix Monarch has always been investigating this matter. He once told me that he suspects that there's something fishy going on … He has never given up on the investigation. With the wisest person, the Phoenix Monarch, investigating this matter, I am naturally at ease … "
At this time, two streams of tears flowed down from the Demon Sovereign's eyes. "Back then, when I became the leader of the Demon Clan, I made a solemn promise to all my brothers that we will share weal and woe together, never forsake each other, so … so it was I who forgot, forgot the promise that year, this is karma, karma, karma!"
"After the repeated failures in the Crimson Soul Mountain … basically, for every failure, the Phoenix Monarch would bring it up again, and again and again … My patience grew thin."
"However, about ten thousand years ago, the Condor Emperor of the Condor Clan presented a plan. It was to capture the Bound of Universe's human martial artists and absorb the Qi of vitality of the human race to extract the Bound of Universe's providence. Although it would take a long time, it would be enough to destroy the Bound of Universe's barrier … I know that the Phoenix Monarch has made similar arrangements."
"Therefore, I asked the Phoenix Monarch to carry out this plan first. As long as it doesn't require the sacrifice of billions of people, it's acceptable to expend other resources and time …"
"The Phoenix Monarch did not obstruct this plan like before and agreed readily. Under my suggestion, the Phoenix Monarch offered some of the results that he had already achieved … However, not long after that, the Condor Emperor's clan rebelled and even his clan, the Condor Clan, was annihilated by the army …"
The Spirit Demon Sovereign sighed sadly.
Yun Yang gritted his teeth as he listened.
"All these years, you've never noticed the Phoenix Monarch's disloyalty?" Yun Yang blurted out in surprise.
How slow could this Spirit Demon Sovereign be? His wings had been wiped clean and he had been deserted by his people, yet he was still so high and mighty that he did not notice it?
"No." The Spirit Demon Sovereign chuckled self-deprecatingly. "Even when our opinions differ, the Phoenix Monarch will not quarrel with me or fight with me. He will give me face, even though he will always find a chance to persuade me after the matter is over … to let me know that what he said makes sense and to preserve my dignity. Isn't this how a good brother should behave?"
The corners of Yun Yang's lips twitched, speechless for a moment.
When their opinions were the same, they would act on it immediately; when their opinions were different, they would wait for him to persuade them and then act according to the Phoenix Monarch's wishes?
If that was the case, everything was the Phoenix Monarch's will!
Then, after so many years … what kind of Spirit Demon Sovereign are you?
You're really a puppet!
Even the most severe henpecked husband that I've seen isn't as severe as you!
Could it be the legendary henpecked husband?
Or perhaps he was a henpecked husband?
However, even if he was henpecked, he knew that he was a henpecked husband. Yet, the Spirit Demon Sovereign did not know about it … That was impressive.
The Spirit Demon Sovereign looked awkward as he explained reluctantly, "The Phoenix Monarch is usually very respectful to me and gives me face … His attitude is very good … cough, cough."
Yun Yang was speechless. "Haha …"
He made you the Spirit Demon Sovereign, but he also made you a loner. Everything is done according to his instructions and he doesn't have to bear any responsibility. Everything goes according to his wishes. If it were me, I'd be happy too. What's so strange about having a good attitude?
Occasionally, a Condor Emperor would offer you a plan without understanding the situation and his clan would be annihilated …
Those with special abilities would be eliminated one by one.
The wise ones of the Demon Clan would either be killed or banished …
All in all, anyone who was a hindrance to the World Annihilation Strategy, a thorn in the side, or even someone who might obstruct the World Annihilation Strategy … Who else could you listen to other than me?
"However, the results of the Eagle Emperor's plan were too slow. Furthermore, it consumed too much manpower, resources, and money … It was probably from that time that the Eagle Emperor's plan was carried out. On the other hand, according to the Phoenix Emperor's words, the Demon Race began to carry out the Eagle Emperor's plan. Those who disobeyed or committed crimes were all arrested and awaited their execution. In reality, they were waiting for the World Annihilation Strategy … "
The Spirit Demon Sovereign sighed deeply.
Yun Yang wanted to laugh out loud.
What kind of policy did the Demon Clan follow?
The policy of the strong being the king!
Arresting those who disobeyed and committed crimes?
Then there wouldn't be many of the Demon Clan left who weren't arrested!
The Spirit Demon Sovereign's memory flashed through his mind.
"Speaking of the World Annihilation Strategy, we'll have to wait until Supreme Cloud causes trouble in the Demon Clan …" The Spirit Demon Sovereign looked at Yun Yang.
Yun Yang rubbed his nose. Did this have anything to do with him?
The Soul-Devouring Trees that he had caused trouble for the Demon Clan … It seemed like he had caused a lot of trouble for the Demon Clan. Alright, I'll take the blame, I'll take the blame. What else can I do?
"Then, the World Annihilation Strategy was activated … according to the records …" The Spirit Demon Sovereign's expression was a little twisted. "According to the records provided by the Phoenix Monarch, the Spirit Demon Sovereign prayed to the heavens and the demonic forefather … willing to exchange his own safety for the prosperity of the Demon Clan …"
Yun Yang was surprised again. "Ah, Your Majesty, you're just going to let it happen … Don't you feel that something's wrong? How clear was it? It was to exchange his own safety for the prosperity of the Demon Clan? It couldn't have been more explicit, could it? "
The Spirit Demon Sovereign was embarrassed. "I thought it was just a formality then. I've said similar things countless times …"
Yun Yang was speechless.
What he said made too much sense, he actually had nothing to say.
Back then, His Majesty the Old Emperor of Yutang had almost always said that he was willing to exchange his own safety for the country's stability. Therefore, it was natural for those in power to say such empty words. How could he have known that it was for real this time?
Saying that he was going to exchange his own safety for the prosperity of the Demon Clan meant that he was really going to die!
"Only now do I understand … all of the Phoenix Monarch's plans are to pave the way and prepare for the World Annihilation Strategy." The Spirit Demon Sovereign said sadly, "My mind is clear now. If my guess is correct … after the World Annihilation Strategy is activated, there will only be one beneficiary, and this beneficiary can only be the Phoenix Monarch … Perhaps, he has a way to extract the power of the World Annihilation Strategy for his own use …"
Yun Yang was speechless. It had already come to this, and there was still a 'perhaps'?
That was for sure!
"At the same time, there will also be one who will suffer the backlash and be annihilated!"
"If not for me, I believe the Phoenix Monarch wouldn't have dared to go all the way. He knows that this boundless power is beyond the endurance of anyone in this world. No one will be able to withstand it. However, with me acting as a sucker … the Phoenix Monarch will be able to sit back and relax, and she can simply accept the benefits. This benefit is absolutely not limited to the destruction of the Blood Soul Mountain. There will definitely be great benefits to the Phoenix itself. "
Yun Yang and the few Dragon Saints nodded silently. White Dragon Great Elder said bitterly, "The Phoenix Monarch's current power is already invincible in this world! Although the power he has displayed seems to be full of loopholes, it has actually exceeded the limits of this world. It is the legendary Ultimate Power, unstoppable … "
The Spirit Demon Sovereign looked up at the sky, speechless for a long time.
After a while, he said softly, "The Phoenix Monarch's greatest wish in this life is to find the Phoenix Clan's long-lost orthodox legacy … to transcend this world and become a true phoenix …"
"This is the highest secret of the Demon Clan …"
"The Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan are both descendants of the Divine Beasts. Our two clans have always been proud of this … But now, the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan have insulted the name of the Divine Beasts. They are no different from the ordinary Demon Clan … It's just that their physical bodies are a little stronger and their talents are a little stronger …"
"The Phoenix Clan's Nirvana Fire is said to be able to burn anything and has great power, but in fact, it has not reached the pinnacle of purity. The reason is that it lacks the true core legacy …"
"In other words, the current Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan are basically the bloodlines that have been truly banished or abandoned by the Divine Beasts of the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan … And the Phoenix Monarch has always wanted to restore his identity as a member of the Phoenix Clan, wanting to return to the real clan …"
"He has told me this wish more than a thousand times …"
