"Human beings boast a glorious, magnificent civilization. Those demons are nothing but beasts. A bunch of inhumane, insane beasts!"
Veins bulged out on Han Tuhu's face like spider webs. His hideous bone tail was waving rapidly, producing a cracking sound in the air. He pointed at Suo Chaolong and shouted desperately, "They can't be human beings. They can't be our kind. They are just demon beasts that have been infected by the Demon God Virus and have developed a tiny bit of intelligence. They are just 'monkeys crowning themselves' after learning from us. This is a fact that everybody knows!"
"Bullsh * t. Who's a beast?"
Suo Chaolong jumped up and pointed at Han Tuhu. His face had turned purple, and his blood was almost spurting out of his fingertips. "The demon race is the descendant of the Pangu in the primeval era! Human beings, on the other hand, are nothing more than a tool created by the Pangu Clan to repair the three thousand Sectors! But you tools have forgotten your destiny and betrayed the Pangu! What makes you traitors qualified to call us beasts? "
"Beasts are beasts. Even if you have learned the language of human beings and imitated our civilization, you are still beasts in your bones!"
Han Tuhu gnashed his teeth. "Look at what you did when you invaded the Grand Desolate Plateau. How many towns were destroyed by you? How many people lost their homes? How many innocent people were killed by your claws? Calling you beasts is a compliment. You are fiendish devils who burn, kill, loot, and commit all kinds of crimes! "
"Invade the Grand Desolate Plateau? Burn, kill, loot? Hahahaha. Han Tuhu, do you know what I hate most about you human beings? Hypocrisy, of course! "
Suo Chaolong roared, "A thousand years ago, ninety percent of the Tian Yuan Realm was the home of the demon race, including the entire Grand Desolate Plateau! My ancestors lived on the Grand Desolate Plateau for generations. They were the masters of the Grand Desolate Plateau. They farmed and hunted on the Grand Desolate Plateau and built many glorious cities of demons!
"Who invaded the Grand Desolate Plateau first? You human beings!
"Who was the first to burn, kill, and plunder in the Great Wasteland? They committed all kinds of crimes, destroyed all the magnificent demon cities, and slaughtered tens of millions of innocent demons? It's you humans! "
"Do you want to deny it? No, you can't deny it. Because in the eyes of you evil humans, killing demons is not a sin at all. Instead, it is a supreme honor! "
"In the war museum at Giant Edge Pass, you invaded the Great Wilderness, burning, killing, and looting. The evidence of the destruction of the Demon City was all put on display as a cultural relic. Even the piles of corpses of the Demon Clan were built into towers to show off your martial arts! "
"I am a native of the Grand Desolate Grand Wasteland. What's wrong with me leading my brothers back to the homeland of my ancestors?"
Han Tuhu spat fiercely, "Don't just pick up the good stuff. You only said that the Wasteland five hundred years ago was the land of the monster race. Why don't you say that at that time, the monster race enslaved the human race on the Wasteland. Countless humans have become your slaves? You only talked about the magnificent demon cities. Why don't you say how many human slaves have died of exhaustion when building these demon cities? "
"And your ancestors were even more ambitious. They joined forces with the Far East Demon Kingdom and tried to strangle the newborn Xing Yao Federation in the cradle?"
"We humans love peace, but we are not afraid of war. We counterattacked in self-defense. We are fighting a righteous war. Why can't we publicize it?"
Suo Chaolong opened his eyes wide. He held his belly and roared, "Love peace? Self-defense counterattack? I'm laughing my head off! When your Star Glory Federation was just established, It only occupies a palm-sized piece of land in the middle of the Tian Yuan Continent, but now, it encompasses the entire Tian Yuan World. Its territory has expanded by more than ten times!
"You love peace. You have so much extra land. Is it a gift when you buy magical equipment? "
The more they cursed, the more furious they became. The Union Army and the silver-blood demons behind them were all beaming with brutality. The hair, scales, and shells on their bodies were all standing up, ready to lunge forward and fight at any moment.
Although they were unarmed, their sharp claws and venomous tusks were the best weapons.
It was unfortunate. The Union Army had many such 'weapons', too.
"Stop!"
Fire Ant bellowed. His overwhelming demonic energy suppressed everyone in the room along with his soundwaves.
Han Tuhu and Suo Chaolong looked at each other brutally and waved their hands to stop their subordinates. The last string in their head hadn't snapped yet, and they still understood the meaning of the idiom 'lose-lose'.
"What Fellow Cultivator Li just said contains too much information. I think that we should all calm down and sort through our thoughts so that we can find the best solution for ourselves, our brothers, families, and compatriots. Do you agree?"
Han Tuhu's and Suo Chaolong's chests were heaving quickly. They could not help but look at their wounded subordinates behind them.
The soldiers were most exhausted after a fierce battle. Many of them were running out of blood, and they might not be able to open their eyes again after they closed their eyes. Not to mention holding a saber, they could barely hold a pair of fingernails.
The two of them were silent at the same time. They looked at each other and gritted their teeth.
"Agreed."
Han Tuhu and Suo Chaolong led their subordinates back to their compartments in the warehouses.
In order to avoid further conflicts, Fire Ant had divided them into two groups, one at the front and the other at the rear.
"Am I being too hasty?"
Li Yao asked the Fire Ant with complicated feelings.
The Fire Ant stared at him in silence for a long time with a weird look in his eyes, which made his hair stand on end. In the end, he said, "So, your real purpose was to persuade the Tian Yuan Realm and the Blood Demon Sector to put aside their hatred for each other and fight against the Imperium of True Human Beings together?"
Li Yao nodded. "It was the only choice."
The Fire Ant sighed and said softly, "Did you know? I used to think that you were not a lunatic."
Li Yao was about to explain further, but the Fire Ant waved his hands and said helplessly, "What you said was too shocking. Give me some time to calm myself down.
"You'd better think about it calmly. Have you really lost your mind?"
…
"Shua!"
In the private cabin that the Fire Ant had specially prepared for him, Li Yao rubbed his face hard with clean water until his cheeks were red and hot.
Perhaps because he had been manipulating his facial muscles and changing his appearance in the past ten years, even Li Yao felt that the face in the mirror was strange to him. It was so strange that … it did not look like him from ten years ago.
It was clearly still that ordinary face without many distinguishing features. However, under the thick eyebrows that were like two black blades, whether it was the deep right eye or the dark red left eye, they were all so deep and serene, as if this pair of eyes could directly lead to the black hole in the depths of the brain.
Li Yao could not tell what was on his mind in the mirror.
"Was I wrong?"
The young face in the mirror reminded him of himself more than ten years ago. More than ten years ago, before he had become a Cultivator, he had encountered a beast tide on a crystal train heading north to the Grand Desolate War Institution. He had been deeply touched by the heroic sacrifice of the seven Cultivators who had fought without hesitation.
"It is our duty to slay evil!"
"Get lost! Don't stop me from saving the world!"
At that time, the world was either black or white. It was so simple and straightforward. At that time, he only wanted to be a powerful Cultivator who could sweep across the entire Blood Demon Sector and annihilate all the demons in his way. …
If he had met himself at that time, he would've reacted the same way as Han Tuhu did, wouldn't he?
It was our duty to slay evil!
However, what were demons and devils? What did real demons and devils look like?
"In this world, there is no distinction between human beings and demons, deities and devils. There are only winners and losers!
"Of ten thousand people, only one is a winner. The other 9,999 are all losers!"
The declaration was repeated above the warehouse just now.
Together with the declaration was the gloating smile of the leader of the Ultimate One Sect, who seemed to have everything under his control.
Li Yao suddenly had an urge to go back to the battlefield forty thousand years ago and shove his fist into the nose of the leader of the Ultimate One Sect so that his nose would touch the back of his head.
It was exactly like what he did to 'Jiang Tao', the scumbag of Cultivators, after seven Cultivators sacrificed themselves in the nameless station on the Grand Desolate Plateau.
Someone like Jiang Tao is perhaps the so-called 'winner', isn't he?
The thought suddenly jumped out of Li Yao's head and made him shudder hard.
What if the 'winners' had never disappeared in the past forty thousand years, but they had been standing at the peak of the world and looking down at the creatures that were as insignificant as ants?
What if the war between the Tian Yuan Realm and the Blood Demon Sector was just two 'losers' biting each other and rolling into the abyss of destruction together?
Li Yao thought of 'gu fights'.
It was an entertainment that was very popular in both the Tian Yuan Realm and the Blood Demon Sector.
A few ferocious Gu worms were locked in a transparent 'Fighting Gu Box'. Through the small holes on both sides of the 'Fighting Gu Box', the Gu worms would fight each other endlessly with the 'Stimulating Grass' concocted with special drugs to provoke them.
Li Yao did not know that, when the two gu bugs bit each other's critical parts, would they realize that, in the greater world beyond the 'gu fights', there was an existence that was far above them and was appreciating their fight with a smile?
"We are not ants, not monkeys, and definitely not Gu worms!"
Taking a deep breath, Li Yao looked at himself in the mirror. His slightly shivering eyes were gradually stabilized.
His eyes were as clear as crystal, just like his incomparably firm Dao Heart.
He knew that he was walking on a path full of fire and thorns, and that the path would probably never end.
However …
He was already used to it.
Li Yao took a deep breath and sorted through his messy thoughts. He planned to take a short break and talk to Han Tuhu after everybody calmed down.
