Zhao Yanqin held her cheeks in her hands and looked around with a charming smile. She seemed to be in a good mood.
The monster girl didn't shy away from this question and explained to Xu Liao, "Be it monsters or human cultivators, the biggest problem we face is the lack of land resources. Due to some agreements in ancient times, everyone can only live in the Void Realm and can't disturb the lives of ordinary humans. However, there aren't many Void Realms and each one is too small. That's why there are wars to seize land from the Devil Purgatory. "
Xu Liao interrupted and asked, "What is the Devil Purgatory?"
Zhao Yanqin chuckled and said, "The Devil Purgatory is the original Demon Realm, an existence equal to the Thirty-Three Heavenly Courts. Now, there are no monsters living in the Devil Purgatory. It has been occupied by demons and the Demonic Dao."
Xu Liao was shocked and asked, "Why is the Demon Realm occupied by demons and the Demonic Dao?"
Zhao Yanqin said, "Among the four waves of Qi of the Divine Spirit Demon Realm, the one with the fastest cultivation speed is Demonic Qi. That's why many human cultivators and monsters turned to the Demonic Dao. In the medieval times, the Demonic Dao dominated the world and the Shang and Qin Dynasties unified the world. But soon, people found that the Demonic Qi's wave could affect one's judgment. No one knew if the living beings that were corroded by the Demonic Qi could still retain their independent thoughts. Or if they had all the memories and emotions of their original owners, but they were completely different creatures. "
Xu Liao listened with great interest and asked, "And then?"
Zhao Yanqin said, "So in the Shang and Qin Dynasties, the War of Gods Investiture and the War of Immortal Dao and Demon Burning occurred. All the demons and humans who cultivated the Demonic Dao were expelled to the Demon Realm, forming the Devil Purgatory of today."
Xu Liao was slightly shocked and asked hurriedly, "Won't the demons and the Demonic Dao grow stronger after occupying the Devil Purgatory? What if they counterattack?"
Zhao Yanqin chuckled and said, "If the Demonic Path was really so powerful, it wouldn't have been defeated in the Battle of Gods Investiture and the Battle of Burning Demons of the Immortal Path. Although the cultivation speed of the Demonic Path is extremely fast, surpassing that of the Holy Spirit Demon Aura, it will affect one's thinking, leading to all kinds of perverse and suicidal actions. There are not many Sky Demons who can really set foot on the top level."
Only then did Xu Liao feel at ease. He asked, "If that's the case, why don't we completely eradicate the Demonic Dao? What's the point of leaving such a threat?"
Zhao Yanqin said helplessly, "The cultivation speed of the Devil Dao is extremely fast, causing everyone in the Devil Prison to be able to cultivate. The number of demons in the lower ranks is a few hundred times that of the Thousand Demon Guild, the 18 Immortal Sects, the four great armies, and the Hidden Sects. It is impossible to kill them all, and we can only let them be."
Zhao Yanqin continued, "After that, there was a huge change in the human world. Human cultivators and demons lived separately from ordinary humans, and they could only live in the Void Realm. Gradually, the land in the Void Realm became scarce, and they could only send people to plunder the Devil Prison's land. Every piece of land that was taken over would be cut out from the Devil Prison by the magic power of a Great Demon King and above expert, turning it into a new Void Realm. "
Xu Liao cried out in surprise, "There can be new Void Realms? If that's the case, why is there still a shortage of places to live in Bei Du City? "
Zhao Yanqin sighed and said, "The new Void Realms will almost always fall into the hands of a certain higher-up, becoming their private collection. They won't release it for ordinary demons to live in."
Xu Liao said indignantly, "Why are those higher-ups so tyrannical? Don't they care about the well-being of the demons in the lower ranks? "
Zhao Yanqin looked at Xu Liao strangely, then asked, "You're used to being a human, so your way of thinking hasn't changed, right? Demons and human cultivators all respect the strong. In the eyes of those higher-ups, we're not worth much more than playthings. Of course, they'll only consider how to satisfy their own needs! "
Xu Liao's face instantly turned red, and he retorted, "Without the demons in the lower ranks, the Thousand Demon Guild will only be left with a few old demons. How can it still be the Thousand Demon Guild?"
Zhao Yanqin said strangely, "Of course it's still the Thousand Demon Guild? We're the fledglings protected by the strong. They're the pillars of the Thousand Demon Guild. If we die, they can rebuild the Thousand Demon Guild at any time. If they die, we'll also die. Without the protection of the strong, the hundreds of thousands of low-ranked demons might have long been captured by the 18 immortal sects as pets. Even pets might be extravagant. Don't tell me you still don't know your place? We're actually negative to the Thousand Demon Guild, so it's only natural that they take the majority of the benefits. "
Xu Liao couldn't accept it for a moment, but he could faintly feel that what Zhao Yanqin said was the truth. He was still affected by the human's way of thinking.
Humans were social animals, no one could completely leave society. However, demons and cultivators were different. They could be self-sufficient, so their behavior would definitely not be the same as ordinary humans.
Xu Liao didn't want to continue arguing about this, so he returned to the original topic, "Since we need the land of Devil Prison, why don't the great demons do it themselves? Instead, they let the ordinary demons start the Seven Day War?"
Zhao Yanqin replied, "I'm not too sure about the specific reason, but there's a theory: Devil Prison's environment has been transformed by countless demons and demonic cultivators, so it's no longer suitable for humans and demonic cultivators. Once they enter Devil Prison, their strength will drop drastically, and they'll be easily killed by demonic cultivators."
Xu Liao nodded. He roughly understood the ins and outs of the Seven Day War. When he thought about how the humans and demons who participated in the Seven Day War couldn't obtain the land they worked so hard to seize, and could only obtain a Fruit of Desire as a reward, he felt a little strange. Although the Fruit of Desire sounded extraordinary, in a sense, its value might even be higher than the Devil Prison's land.
Xu Liao pondered for a moment, then said to Zhao Yanqin, "I agree to their request. As long as they send me the invitations to Flying Cloud Pavilion and the Seven Day War, I'll agree to continue exploring the Celestial Emperor Garden."
In truth, Zhao Yanqin didn't care too much about this mission. Whether or not Xu Liao was willing to negotiate had nothing to do with her, but since she was able to complete her request, she was still quite happy.
Zhao Yanqin made a phone call and passed the news back. Soon, a parcel was delivered by express delivery.
Xu Liao opened the package. The invitation to the Seven Day War wasn't a big deal, he already had one, but the Flying Cloud Pavilion piqued his curiosity.
Although Xu Liao had the Celestial Emperor Garden, it wasn't a suitable place to live. It was filled with Yin Qi, and the longer he stayed there, the more he would feel like he was slowly becoming a pervert.
The Flying Cloud Pavilion occupied about two or three acres of land, about one thousand five hundred square meters. Although it was called a three-bedroom building, it was actually three large suites, each four to five hundred square meters in size. Not only were they luxuriously decorated, but they also had all sorts of facilities.
