Apart from the hundreds of billions of Tian Ji Orders that Guan Shanhe had sent over, there was also the Astral Souls Jade Powder that had been collected from the entire continent.
The allied army's strength was rising day by day, and they were becoming more and more powerful.
As for the Demon Race, they were in a gloomy mood.
Because … no matter how much the Demon Race begged, Demon Ancestor Rahu did not appear.
He did not even say a single word. It was clear that he did not want to participate in the battle.
Evil Dragon and Dark Phoenix personally came to visit the Demon Ancestor.
After a few hours, the Demon Ancestor finally said something.
"The Saints have not returned, so we cannot act. Stall for time and wait for the wind to come."
Then, he did not say anything else.
But just this sentence alone was enough to make the situation clear. At least, Evil Dragon and Dark Phoenix understood.
Evil Dragon and Dark Phoenix sighed. They knew that the Demon Ancestor would not act and would just sit and watch.
Because of this, the two felt more and more worried, and they had a bad feeling.
"Demon Ancestor's words have a deep meaning."
"How could I not know about Ancestor's fear? This is a killing tribulation, a great tribulation of heaven and earth. But now, only Ancestor has appeared among the leaders of the various clans in the universe. According to the ancient legends of the Human Clan, those who stand out will rot first."
"Yes, that's why the Demon Ancestor is afraid. He feels that he has been schemed against … At least before those people appear, the Demon Ancestor will not act. Even if all the Demon Race is dead, he will not move."
"I think so too."
"Sigh … Now that I think about it, the whole process of this return is strange. Where are those people at the peak now? Thinking about it, it's terrifying! "
The two looked at each other, and they could not help but feel regret.
They regretted not listening to the Demon Ancestor's words and recklessly entering the battle.
But now, it was useless to regret. Once they entered the battle, they would be in a calamity. It would be difficult to escape until the calamity ended …
The two discussed for a while and decided to change their strategy from offense to defense.
They had already conquered the Dao League and obtained a large amount of resources, enough for the demons to rest and recuperate for a long time.
This was especially true for the Dao League. Unlike the Astral Souls or the Umno Alliance, they were constantly on the warpath, and their resources were greatly depleted. There were also countless Astral Souls jade mines in the mountains and forests, and resources were constantly falling from the sky …
In addition, the original Demon Continent gradually began to share the Qi of the ancestral land, and together, it was developing in a good direction.
The demons who had two continents in their hands … Why did they have to be so greedy and occupy the land of the Umno Alliance of Astral Souls?
They might as well retreat and defend for a while before deciding what to do next.
As long as he waited for those elites to return, he believed that Demon Alpha would be willing to show up. Then, he would have more confidence. He believed that when that time came, everything would be clearer.
The two of them quickly made a decision. However, after making the decision, they looked at each other, feeling dejected and ashamed.
"There's no other way. In the midst of the calamity … since we can't succeed in one go, we can only be cautious."
"That's right. Otherwise, when the demons return, we will have exhausted too much strength. How will we deal with them …"
"That's all for later. What I'm worried about now is the other party …"
"The other party might not agree?!"
"Let's talk first."
Thus, Dark Phoenix personally came to the front line of White Mountain and met with The Flood Witch and Zuo Changlu. She proposed a temporary truce and both sides made peace.
"When the storm rises again, we will fight to the death."
Hearing this proposal, everyone's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Daoist Thunder naturally expressed his disagreement. His eyes were red as he sneered, "You want to fight and you want to fight? You want to make peace and you want to make peace? Is there such a cheap thing in the world? "
Dark Phoenix crossed her arms and said indifferently, "If you want to continue fighting, we will naturally accompany you. The reason we proposed a temporary truce is not because we are afraid of you, but because we want the ancestral land to recuperate and wait for the arrival of our old enemy so that we can fight. If you don't care, then we don't care either. We will continue fighting. In the previous battle, we attacked and you defended. If we didn't attack, would you have dared to attack? "
Dark Phoenix raised her head and proudly said, "The Wu people fought against the heavens and the earth. My Demon Race is the same. Moreover, my Demon Race is different from the Wu people. We don't care about our own lives, so we naturally don't care about the lives of our subordinates. We don't care about the lives of the common people. All lives are nothing but ants, nothing more than grass!"
His entire body was overflowing with an aura of extermination. He disdainfully said, "Dying in war has always been the inevitable result of a game. The collapse of the entire continent is nothing more than a game to us. And this kind of game … junior, we can afford to play, but can you afford to play?"
Daoist Thunder's face paled. It wasn't that he didn't want to refute. He wanted to loudly refute. He was confident that his words would be impassioned and thought-provoking, but …
But just as Dark Phoenix said, the Demon Race could afford to play, but the allied army couldn't … He couldn't bear such a heavy burden!
In the beginning, Demon Ancestor Rahu led his Left and Right Protectors, nine Demon Monarchs, and three thousand Demon Gods to roam the world. Later on, they died one by one. Now, only the Left and Right Protectors were left. Eight Demon Monarchs and nineteen Demon Gods were basically all dead.
But these fellows never felt sad. They didn't care about it at all.
When there were many of us, we were like this. Now that we are all dead, we are still like this!
We will not mourn anything, nor will we be sentimental about anything.
Living beings need to mourn or feel sentimental about food. Don't you feel awkward?
We can do it. Even if the entire Demon Race is wiped out and only the Demon Ancestor and a few of us are left, as long as we are still alive, it doesn't matter.
Didn't we live like this?
But can you humans do it?
Can you bear to? Can you give up on those who depend on you?
Hearing this, the Five Swords of the Dao League were speechless.
Zuo Changlu coughed and said, "Lady Dark Phoenix, we understand what you mean. But there is one point that we must take this opportunity to mention. You came to negotiate peace. No matter how you look at it, it means that you don't care. At this moment, you don't want the Demon Race to die out!
"Otherwise, you wouldn't have come. On the other hand, if all the Demon Race died out and only you and the Demon Ancestor remained, the target would become smaller. At that time, the ones who would be in trouble would be us. Because we would have to be on guard all the time, unable to eat or sleep in peace. On the other hand, you can do whatever you want.
"But you still care. That's why you came to negotiate peace. This point is undeniable."
Zuo Changlu smiled and asked, "Does Lady Dark Phoenix think so?"
Dark Phoenix narrowed her eyes and indifferently said, "That's right. Although we don't care about the lives of the Demon Race, but … but if it isn't necessary, we don't have to kill them all. "
Zuo Changlu indifferently said, "That way, you, who took the initiative to negotiate peace, are the weaker side. This is an undeniable reality, isn't it?"
Dark Phoenix was silent for a long time before she finally said, "Yes. If you have any conditions, you should quickly raise them. If we can't accept them, we'll just fight to the death. If we can accept them, we'll stop fighting for a while. "
Zuo Changlu said, "Since you took the initiative to ask for a ceasefire, we must compensate you. This is a matter of course."
"Just say it. We will consider it carefully. But I hope you won't ask for too much."
"The first condition is that the people of the Dao League Continent that are still alive must be sent to us," Zuo Changlu said.
Dark Phoenix had an extremely unsightly expression as she said, "This, this is definitely out of the question."
"Why?"
"How can there be any living people? They have already been eaten, eaten clean …" Dark Phoenix couldn't say it out loud.
"The resources of the places occupied by the Demon Race are secondary. Flesh and blood are the most important … cough, not only the living, but also the corpses of the dead. They are all food."
Daoist Thunder flew into a rage and said, "So eating people makes you very proud?!"
Dark Phoenix turned her head and looked at Daoist Thunder with dissatisfaction and arrogance. She indifferently said, "This junior of the Three Clear Lineage … I feel that your attitude is too agitated."
"You have to clearly see what kind of people you are facing."
Dark Phoenix lectured, "You are facing the Demon Race, and the Demon Race is not the Human Race. The Demon Race doesn't have your so-called humanity. It's natural for the Demon Race to eat people! It's just like how you humans eat chicken, duck, fish, spirit beast, devil beast, and monster beast meat every day …
"What is there to be angry about? When you enjoy the delicacies cooked from beast meat, have you ever considered the anger of the wives and children of those beasts? You haven't, right? You haven't, right? Then, when the Demon Race eats people and swallows them, what are you angry about? "
Dark Phoenix indifferently said, "It's just food, that's all."
"According to the baldies of the Western Religious Sect, even wild vegetables and weeds have spirituality and life. Every grain of spiritual rice that you eat is a life. Even the mouthful of water that you drink will cause the death of hundreds of millions of creatures in the mouthful of water!"
"The survival system of the Demon Race is completely different from that of the Wu people. We don't have the corresponding concept that you think is right."
"The purpose of eating people is only to fill our stomachs!"
"As long as it's edible, as long as it's tasty, we'll eat it! What's there to eat? "
"Furthermore, if the food is strong enough, like how you humans hunt demon beasts but are instead killed by demon beasts, or how we can't break through the human defense line for a long time. It's the same principle."
"If we talk about anger, whether we should or not, or if we should go against the natural cycle of reincarnation … those are all bullshit to the Demon Race!"
