If he really wanted to make a move, he would definitely be able to turn the entire Hua Nation upside down. However, he was still thinking about the Sacred Beast. He wanted Ming Xi to obediently hand over the Sacred Beast so that he would not have to waste his energy to fight. Therefore, he gave them three days. After three days, if Ming Xi was not willing to hand over the Sacred Beast, he would destroy the human world.
"Mother, who is he?" Ye Zhen asked Mother of the West after Du Xing left.
She had never seen him before in the Nine Heavens, and he didn't appear during the great war between gods and demons. Now, he appeared out of nowhere and said he wanted to destroy the human continent.
Mother of the West looked at the sacred beast on Ming Xi's shoulder with an unprecedentedly heavy expression. "If he wasn't imprisoned in Penglai, he would be a God Venerable."
God Venerable?!
Ye Zhen's eyes darkened. "Why is he so obsessed with the sacred beast?"
When he saw the sacred beast, he was happier than when he saw a treasure.
Moreover, it was a look of determination.
Mother of the West sighed. "Tens of thousands of years ago, Du Xing researched a medicine to get the sacred beast. As long as it was added to the demon beast's meat, it would emit the smell of dragon blood. Sacred beasts loved to eat true dragons and would be attracted to it. However, there was a problem with Du Xing's medicine and it poisoned all the sacred beasts to death."
Ye Zhen was shocked. How terrible was the medicine that could poison such a powerful creature like the Holy Beast to death?
"Originally, the God Venerable didn't want to kill the sacred beasts and wanted to keep them in captivity so that he could use them to fight against the dragon race. However, because of the extinction of the sacred beasts, the god race had to join forces with the dragon race to completely wipe out the dragon slayer race. They were afraid that the dragon slayer race would raise sacred beasts to take revenge. Later, the dragon slayer race couldn't defeat the combined forces of the dragon race and the god race. The Nine Heavens was originally dominated by three races, but after the disappearance of the dragon slayer race, the dragon race was completely above the god race. Du Xing was imprisoned in Penglai by the God Venerable and hasn't appeared for tens of thousands of years." Mother of the West told her what happened tens of thousands of years ago.
From her tone, one could tell that she was very wary of Du Xing.
"Du Xing's cultivation is unfathomable. If he wasn't so perverse, he would have been a God Venerable long ago and wouldn't have been imprisoned in Penglai. The fact that he could come to the human continent must have something to do with the Grand Emperor," Mother of the West said.
"In that case, what Du Xing said was true. The Grand Emperor wants to destroy the human world," Ye Zhen said coldly.
Queen Mother of the West looked at Ye Zhen. "The Grand Emperor is narrow-minded and can't tolerate others offending his authority. Ah Zhan went to the Flame Region without his consent, and the god generals and divine weapons of the Nine Heavens listen to Ah Zhan as usual. The Grand Emperor must be angry, and he hates the human continent to begin with …"
'He's the Grand Emperor of the Nine Heavens, so why does he hate the human continent so much? What did the mortals do wrong? "Ming Xi asked doubtfully.
This was also Ye Zhen's doubt. The Grand Emperor seemed to have an inexplicable hostility toward the human continent. Even though the mortals had done nothing wrong, the Grand Emperor had never pitied them. From 10,000 years ago until now, the Grand Emperor had only been indifferent toward the human continent.
If Wen Tian hadn't become the lord of the human continent, the Grand Emperor wouldn't have attacked the celestial castle in the name of protecting mortals. Just like this time, the demon beasts had invaded the human continent, yet the Nine Heavens didn't do anything. They only sent god generals to stop Mo Rongzhan.
"Because the Grand Emperor once suffered a loss in the human continent," Queen Mother of the West said coldly. "At that time, he wasn't a god yet. He thought that even if he wasn't a god, he could still be a superior being in the human continent, so he purposely removed his cultivation. The previous Supreme Venerable Emperor secretly sealed his power to teach him a lesson for his arrogance. The Grand Emperor suffered a lot in the human continent and was schemed against by mortals several times. He couldn't recover his cultivation, so he experienced the lowliest life of mortals. It was only in the end that the Supreme Venerable Emperor allowed him to return to the Nine Heavens. On the surface, he seemed to have removed his arrogance, but I didn't expect him to hide his true nature and turn his arrogance into hatred. If it weren't for the Divine Venerables, he would have long destroyed the human continent."
Ye Zhen took a deep breath. She always thought that the Grand Emperor didn't care about the human continent and only looked down on the weakness of mortals. She didn't expect him to have such a past.
He was simply taking revenge on mortals and hating the human continent.
"The calamity he suffered wasn't caused by mortals," Ming Xi said. "Why didn't the Grand Emperor reflect on himself?"
Mother Wang looked at Ming Xi. "If he reflected on himself, he wouldn't be here today."
"In that case, he will find an excuse to destroy the human continent no matter what," Ye Zhen said in a low voice. "What should we do, Mother?"
"Ah Zhan isn't here now …" Mother Wang furrowed her brows and pondered. "We can only find the Divine Venerables to stop him. However, they have been in seclusion for many years and didn't even appear during the great battle of gods and demons. It won't be easy to find them."
Ye Rou asked, "Could the Grand Emperor attack the human world openly? The demon beasts on the continent aren't causing trouble, so what excuse will he use to fight? "
"If he's determined to destroy this place, will he have an excuse?" Mother Wang said in a low voice.
They all fell silent. Today was Du Xing, so who would it be tomorrow?
Ye Zhen looked at Ming Xi. "Watch the little monsters closely these few days. Don't let them go out."
"Mother, don't worry about the little monsters. I think the most important thing now is to let others know the Grand Emperor's goal." The Grand Emperor didn't want to protect the human continent. He wanted to destroy this place from the start.
That was because he had been humiliated here.
Ye Zhen said, "I'll go to the heavenly castle."
"I'll talk to the Grand Emperor. If he insists on doing this, then we have to protect this place even if we have to fight to the death," Mother Wang said. "Even if we can't protect it, we have to have a way out."
What way could they have? They had a way out, but could the mortals without any cultivation have a way out?
No! They had no way out other than waiting for death.
Ye Zhen said in a low voice, "No matter what, we have to protect the human continent."
"Then we'll work together to resist," Mother Wang said.
"I'll go find Wen Tian." Ye Zhen nodded at Mother Wang and flew in the direction of the heavenly castle.
Mother Wang let the other god generals guard this place while she returned to the Nine Heavens.
Ming Xi squatted down and looked at the little monster. "Little monster, you have to cultivate diligently these few days. Otherwise, we really won't be able to defeat them."
The little monster tilted its head and looked at Ming Xi. It wasn't clear if it understood or not.
"If you open your mind, we won't be afraid of that Du Xing." Ming Xi rubbed the little monster's head and sighed softly.
"Without fighting with a true dragon, it will take a hundred years for a sacred beast to open its mind," Shang'er said as she stood behind Ming Xi.
Ming Xi looked at her strangely. "A hundred years?"
"Yes, I heard what you said just now," Shang'er said in a low voice. "I have a way to open a sacred beast's mind."
"What way?" Ming Xi frowned. He had a bad premonition.
