Before coming to the Numinous Sky Hall, Mo Rongzhan had already guessed what the high and mighty Grand Emperor wanted her to do.
Attacking the celestial castle, eradicating the disobedient demon beasts, and forcing them to the Desolate Hell to show the dignity of the Nine Heavens and the Grand Emperor's inviolability was his goal.
The Grand Emperor would never be merciful to mortals and demon beasts. He would always think of himself.
Mo Rongzhan plainly asked, "How does the Grand Emperor want me to solve the human continent?"
After so many years, the Grand Emperor probably didn't know that the human continent was different from before. The demon beasts and mortals could no longer be manipulated by the gods. In his opinion, although mortals didn't cultivate, they were tough and brave. As long as they wanted to do something, nothing could stop them.
"The demon beasts have ravaged the human continent, so mortals won't blindly think that Wen Tian can protect them like before. I want you to get rid of Wen Tian and the celestial castle. As long as the celestial castle disappears, the demon beasts will naturally listen to you," the Grand Emperor said coldly. He was sure that without the celestial castle, the human continent would still be under his control.
It seemed like the Grand Emperor wasn't completely clueless about the human continent. He also knew that mortals no longer blindly respected the celestial castle and Wen Tian like they did ten thousand years ago. After being ravaged, mortals now feared and resented the demon beasts. Even if Wen Tian never harmed them, as long as it was a demon beast, mortals wouldn't accept it.
For ten thousand years, the human continent had been ruled by mortals. They didn't even know the existence of the gods because the Grand Emperor never cared about the survival of the continent.
Since he didn't care, how could he be respected?
"I can't do it," Mo Rongzhan said simply.
"Can't do it?" The Grand Emperor suspected that he heard wrong. The once arrogant Nine Heavens Young Emperor actually said that he couldn't do it. "Aren't you omnipotent? Have you become a coward after so many years and don't even dare to fight the celestial castle? "
Mo Rongzhan said calmly, "So what if I get rid of the celestial castle? It's impossible to drive all the demon beasts to the Desolate Hell."
The Grand Emperor hadn't been to the Desolate Hell for a long time and had almost forgotten what it was like. He hated the demon beasts and the humiliation that Wen Tian brought to the divine race ten thousand years ago. He didn't feel that there was a need to give the demon beasts a living environment. It would be better if they could be completely eradicated.
"Grand Emperor, the god race can no longer completely eradicate the demon beasts. They can only coexist. Give them a more suitable place than the human continent, and only then will they leave. Otherwise, it'll be useless even if they fight for another ten thousand years." Mo Rongzhan tried his best to speak calmly.
"Impossible!" The Grand Emperor refused without hesitation. He asked angrily, "Do I have to give in? If the god race gives in to the demonic beasts, wouldn't that be a joke? Go and see the gods of the Nine Heavens, which one of them is willing to give in to the demonic beasts? "
Mo Rongzhan said, "This is not a concession. The human world belongs to mortals. Demonic beasts should also have their own place."
"Yes, it's the Desolate Hell." The Grand Emperor snorted.
A million years ago, the demon beasts were just pets of the god race. They were the ones who shamelessly used the spirit energy of the Nine Heavens to secretly cultivate. That was why they were chased to the Desolate Hell by the Grand Emperor in the past. However, the demon beasts multiplied too quickly, and they learned how to cultivate in the Nine Heavens, which led to the situation today.
If they had known earlier, they would have completely eradicated the demon beasts.
"The Desolate Hell can no longer accommodate all the demon beasts. Even if we can chase them out of the human continent, it'll be useless," Mo Rongzhan said.
The Grand Emperor didn't consider whether the Desolate Hell could accommodate all the demon beasts. He only considered chasing them out of the human continent and didn't care about the living environment of the demon beasts.
"According to what you said, where do you think we should send the demon beasts?" the Grand Emperor asked with a gloomy expression.
"The Flame Region of the Xuantian Continent has regained its vitality, and it's no smaller than the human continent. We can send the demon beasts there," Mo Rongzhan said. He had considered a few places and felt that the Flame Region was the most suitable. After the Black Dragon Mountain melted, the Flame Region regained its vitality. The people of the Flame Region could cultivate more easily than mortals, and they could live together with the demon beasts.
Moreover, tens of thousands of years ago, the Flame Region was where the high gods reared the demon beasts. Now, they were just returning their original place to the demon beasts.
"Impossible!" The Grand Emperor rejected without hesitation. The Flame Region was very close to the Nine Heavens, and he couldn't let the demon beasts live there. "They don't deserve to be in the Flame Region. I won't compromise with the demon beasts."
Back then, the god race chased the demon beasts out of the Flame Region. Now, they wouldn't let them return.
"Must the Grand Emperor attack the celestial castle?" Mo Rongzhan asked.
"That's right. I order you to bring a thousand divine soldiers to attack the celestial castle." The Grand Emperor ordered forcefully, "You must kill Wen Tian."
Mo Rongzhan looked up at the Grand Emperor. After so many years, the Grand Emperor hadn't changed. He was conceited, thinking that he could control everyone and everything. He was high and mighty, thinking that everyone had to listen to his orders.
"Grand Emperor, please find someone else. I can't kill Wen Tian, and I can't chase the demon beasts to the Desolate Hell," Mo Rongzhan said.
His cultivation had increased compared to ten thousand years ago, but Wen Tian's demon power had also become stronger. Wen Tian couldn't kill him, and he couldn't kill Wen Tian either. Both of them would suffer. However, why would they suffer to fulfill the Grand Emperor's arrogance?
The war between gods and demons could have been avoided.
The Grand Emperor didn't expect Mo Rongzhan to reject him. Didn't he want revenge? If it wasn't for Wen Tian, he wouldn't have fallen into the Spirit Region. How could he not take revenge after ten thousand years of hatred?
"What did you say?" the Grand Emperor asked word by word.
"When the god race attacks the celestial castle, the mortals of the human continent are affected. Grand Emperor, you should go take a look. The human continent is completely different from ten thousand years ago. It's full of life. The mortals work during the day and rest when the sun sets. The cities are bustling and lively. If the war between gods and demons breaks out, everything will be destroyed," Mo Rongzhan said.
The Grand Emperor said, "If it's destroyed, it can be rebuilt, but the demon beasts have to be eliminated."
"You underestimate the demon beasts and think too simply of the human continent," Mo Rongzhan said plainly. "The mortals have learned to defend their homes," Mo Rongzhan said.
"In the end, you've become timid," the Grand Emperor said coldly. "Don't think that I can't kill Wen Tian without you."
In Mo Rongzhan's opinion, even the Grand Emperor couldn't kill Wen Tian. Wen Tian was just a breath away from becoming a true dragon. A true dragon wouldn't be killed so easily.
"What reason does the Grand Emperor have to kill Wen Tian?" Mo Rongzhan asked.
Although Wen Tian opened the seal, he didn't rule the human continent or attack the Nine Heavens. The Grand Emperor, who had always been benevolent and tolerant, didn't have any reason to attack the celestial castle and harm the human continent.
