Zhou Yifu's words made Li Yao and Wei Qingqing laugh at the same time.
"I thought that young people such as Li Yao were more optimistic," Wei Qingqing said. "I didn't know that you were even more arrogant and optimistic than Li Yao!"
"It has nothing to do with arrogance," Zhou Yifu said casually.
Zhou Yifu said disapprovingly, "People like us who engage in historical research are different from you. We have seen a lot of things!"
Perhaps for the Federation today, the Imperium and the Holy League are very strong and behemoths. But so what?
"Think about it. In the age of ancient Cultivators forty thousand years ago, were the ancient Cultivators who occupied the three thousand Sectors strong? Didn't they end up being replaced by the demons in the blink of an eye? "
"Then, were the demons who ruled the universe for thirty thousand years and established dozens of dynasties of demon beasts strong? Were they crushed by the Star Ocean Imperium in the blink of an eye?
"The Star Ocean Imperium was the strongest force in the history of mankind. Wasn't it strong, awesome, and invincible? But so what? It rises and falls abruptly. Its peak lasted for only a short thousand years before it collapsed like a sand tower in the wind, vanishing into thin air in the blink of an eye! "
"However strong the Imperium of True Human Beings and the Alliance of the Holy Covenant are, can they be stronger than the ancient Cultivators, the Demon Beast Dynasty, and the Star Ocean Imperium? Even the three of them can be destroyed instantly. How can the Imperium of True Human Beings and the Alliance of the Holy Covenant escape the law of history?
"As long as you figure that out, you will not be so scared when you are faced with the super forces at the center of the cosmos. You will be able to view them as normal.
"If we get to the bottom of it, we look at the Imperium and the Holy League like bumpkins looking at city dwellers. Their glamorous clothes, fancy cars, and beautiful women make them look mysterious and high and mighty!
"But getting to the bottom of it, aren't we all human beings? Aren't we all carrying a head on two shoulders? We've seen people who are much tougher than them. What are we scared of? "
Zhou Yifu's words cast Li Yao and Wei Qingqing into deep thought.
Wei Qingqing still wanted to ask the teacher some questions, but Zhou Yifu gently patted her shoulder and let her turn her head: "Qingqing, if you want to interview me, you can do it at any time, but the opposite person, you don't have the opportunity to interview every day!"
Li Yao looked in the direction that Zhou Yifu was pointing, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Among the crowd, there were two Demon Clan members with distinctive features.
Because of the special relationship between the Blood Demon Sector and the Tian Yuan Realm, most of the demon emperors were still suspicious. They would rather hide in the depths of the Blood Demon Sector and attend the Yuanying Meeting remotely through real-time video and sound transmission.
The demon emperors who were willing to show up in person were almost all those who were close to the Federation.
The first of the two demons was Demon Emperor Fire Ant of the Insect Clan, Li Yao's old friend, Elder Nether Spring's biological brother, and the former leader of the Blade of Chaos!
In the political situation of the Blood Demon Sector in the post- Jin Tuyi era, Skyfire, as the source of Jin Xinyue's strength, had expanded rapidly and become the greatest force in the Blood Demon Sector.
As one of the founders of Skyfire, Fire Ant, who controlled most of the middle-level and bottom-level demons of the Blood Demon Sector, enjoyed a high social status, too.
After Elder Nether Spring fled in a hurry and messed up the Nether Spring Kingdom with the Demon God Virus before he left, it became a headache to clean up the mess of the Nether Spring Kingdom and even the entire Insect Clan.
Elder Nether Spring was indeed unpardonable, but not every Insect in the Nether Spring Kingdom was guilty, and it was impossible to annihilate all of them.
Technically speaking, the Insect Clan, which had been manipulated by Elder Nether Spring for decades, was the greatest victim. The number of Insect Clan members killed by Elder Nether Spring was definitely ten times more than that of the Heaven's Origin Sector!
Therefore, when the Insect Clan was leaderless and the Nether Spring Kingdom was in chaos, the Fire Ant naturally returned to the Nether Spring Kingdom.
Elder Nether Spring had already fled. The Fire Ant had the support of Jin Tuyi, Jin Xinyue, and the entire Skyfire. He also had the heritage of Chaos and the capability of a demon emperor. He was one of the best specialists in the refinement of demonic plants in the Blood Demon Sector. Who in the Insect Clan was a match for him?
The Fire Ant defeated the few unpromising challengers more than easily and became the new leader of the Insect Clan and the master of the Nether Spring Kingdom.
Theoretically speaking, the title of 'Elder Nether Spring' should have been given to him, too. He should have been called 'Elder Nether Spring' of the new generation.
However, as the Demon God Virus savaged the Blood Demon Sector, the name 'Elder Nether Spring', as the culprit, became a stink, too.
In order to draw a clear line between himself and the past, the Fire Ant did not accept the new title. He was still active under the name of 'Fire Ant' in the past.
Right now, the Fire Ant was sort of the new giant of the Blood Demon Sector. He and Jin Xinyue were at each other's throats.
It was worth mentioning that the relationship between the Fire Ant and the Federation was rather subtle.
The Blade of Chaos under his leadership had once broken out in the 'Riot of Bloody Blade', which led to the total collapse of the 'Battle of Dawn' when the demon race invaded the Federation for the first time.
In that regard, he had undoubtedly made great contributions to the Federation.
On the other hand, now that the human race and the demon race had merged, it was proven that the demon race was originally a part of the human race. Naturally, it could not be said that all demon races were bad. It could only be said that most demon races were good, but they had been blinded by a small group of ambitious and scheming people …
Therefore, the Federation had defined the Blade of Chaos in the past as' a group of kind-hearted demons who could no longer tolerate the deceit and exploitation of certain ambitious schemers in the leadership of the Pantheon of Demons and rose up spontaneously to resist '!
The Fire Ant, on the other hand, in the official statement of the Federation, was "a demon who was awakened the earliest. He deeply understood the evil nature of the 'Four Pillars System' and the schemes of the ambitious schemers in the leadership of the demon race. Therefore, he waged decades of arduous struggles. In the glorious battles against tyranny, he made deep friendships with the warriors of the Federation. He is an old and loyal friend of the people of the Federation!"
At this moment, the 'old friend of the people of the Federation', the new giant of the Blood Demon Sector, and the most popular expert of the Insect Clan in the future, was supporting another old and feeble demon emperor respectfully.
Seeing that he did not even dare to breathe heavily, Li Yao would've suspected that he was his biological grandfather if the guy did not look so different from him.
Li Yao scratched his head. With the Fire Ant's position today, there was still a demon emperor who deserved his respect?
Li Yao narrowed his eyes and observed carefully.
The demon emperor's back was hunched, and his long eyebrows were dangling to his chest. His demonic energy was concealed, making him look like a stone statue that was full of moss.
His skin looked like a cracked fossil, and he was carrying an external skeleton that looked like a tortoise shell on his back. At first glance, he looked like a giant tortoise that was standing on its feet.
He was holding a cane made of ebony that was full of moss. There was no telling how long he had been using it, but every lumpy lump contained the smell of time.
Supported by the Fire Ant, the demon emperor walked to Li Yao unhurriedly.
Seeing that Li Yao was tilting his head and thinking hard, Zhou Yifu smiled and said in a low voice, "Stop thinking. He is Gui Suishou!"
Li Yao was dumbfounded. "Is — is it really Gui Suishou? He's not dead yet! "
Of all the demon emperors of the Blood Demon Sector, Gui Suishou, the demon emperor of the Sea Clan, was definitely the most distinctive one.
Although the training of the demons was not divided into battle-type, admin-type, and so on, unlike the Cultivators, they were good at different fields after all.
For example, the Fire Ant was good at refining demonic plants, Elder Nether Spring was good at viruses, and Jin Tuyi devoted a lot of his computational ability to strategic planning.
Some demon emperors were good at fighting, some were good at poisoning, and some were fond of refining demon beasts into unbelievable nightmarish beasts for fighting.
But Gui Suishou, the demon emperor of the Sea Clan, was not good at any of them!
He was not good at fighting, he was not good at refining poison, and he was not good at refining demon beasts. But he had devoted all his Cultivation to one thing.
Living!
The 'Turtle Clan', a branch of the Sea Clan, had the longest lifespan of all the demon clans in the first place. Gui Suishou, on the other hand, had inherited a secret art named 'Big Dream Tortoise Hibernation Art' from his ancestors, which focused on the art of health. He could even enter the hibernation state during seclusion and sleep for thirty to fifty years without being affected at all. It was even more awesome than the 'human hibernation' technology that had just been developed in the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Flying Star Sector!
He was' Gui Suishou ', the oldest demon emperor of the Blood Demon Sector, a legend, or rather a weirdo, who was almost four hundred years older than the Xing Yao Federation!
It was no wonder that the Fire Ant was so respectful to such an old monster, considering that he was almost a thousand years old.
Moreover, Gui Suishou did not have any blood debts because he had been hibernating most of the time during the five hundred years since the Xing Yao Federation was established. He had even spent the last few decades in seclusion. There was no chance for him to do anything bad even if he wanted to!
The vast ocean was mysterious and unpredictable. Gui Suishou could hide in a random residence at the bottom of the ocean, and there would be no news of him for decades if not centuries. He was a mysterious person. Li Yao had only seen a brief message about him in the database before. He had thought that the guy was long dead!
But as it turned out, a relic that had been unearthed for almost a thousand years was standing right in front of him!
It was no wonder that even a master like Zhou Yifu's eyes were shining and his neck was flushed.
Perhaps, in the eyes of historians, such old monsters who had lived for a thousand years were priceless treasures.
"Li Yao!"
Delighted, the Fire Ant greeted them quickly. "Come on. Let me introduce you. This is the High Priest of the Pantheon of Demons more than five hundred years ago. He is also the oldest and most experienced demon emperor of the Blood Demon Sector, 'Gui Suishou'. Elder Gui!"
The Fire Ant was flattering Gui Suishou. Everybody knew that the old tortoise was an extra-large piece of garbage, except for his long life and the fact that he could neither be beaten nor poisoned.
In the Blood Demon Sector, where the strong preyed on the weak and only the fittest survived, age and seniority did not matter at all. Not to mention that he was more than eight hundred years old, even if he was eighteen hundred years old, he would still be beaten without any hesitation!
What the Fire Ant said next, however, made Li Yao's spine constrict.
