Starting With 100 Million Lives-Chapter 469: A New Official Takes Office

The Grand Demon Assembly has concluded, and the demons gradually dispersed.

The news that Brother Cheng became the Lord of the Earth Division was quickly announced to the outside world, spreading rapidly throughout the entire Demon Realm.

Whether True Immortals or Celestial Immortals, Demon Kings or Quasi-Emperors, all learned that he had become the new Lord of the Earth Division.

For a moment, the name Cang Cheng was sung across the entire Demon Realm.

And the Demon Emperors returned to their respective territories, going into seclusion or plotting in secret.

This has been the norm in the Demon Realm for hundreds of billions of years.

Usually, the various affairs of the Grand Demon Palace are managed by the Quasi-Emperors of the Earth Division.

In the vast and magnificent palace, there are 32 demon platforms.

Among them, the center’s tallest and largest one is naturally occupied by the Azure Dragon Emperor’s transformed Brother Cheng.

Looking down at the Quasi-Emperors on other platforms, he felt like an emperor holding court, instantly gaining a sense of grandeur.

The only regret was that it was a bit deserted.

"Ahem!"

He cleared his throat, and below, 31 Quasi-Emperors each showed a hint of concern.

Even the Qilin Camp was no exception.

After all, new officials burn three fires.

"Well, why doesn’t the Grand Demon Palace have any palace maids?"

Thud!

Several Quasi-Emperors almost stumbled.

Are you kidding? They’ve already reached the level of Quasi-Emperor, who still cares about such pleasures?

That’s something low-level mountain essence demon beasts would consider.

"That’s right, brother, I also think this is necessary!"

The Three-Eyed Tiger, who took third place in the competition and was closest to Brother Cheng, perked up immediately upon hearing the suggestion of palace maids.

This was exactly what he wanted!

"How can the dignified Grand Demon Palace not have a single palace maid? It’s so shabby, where’s the face in that?"

"I propose selecting top-grade demonesses from all races in the Demon Realm to enter the palace..."

"Hmph, nonsense!"

The Late-stage Quasi-Emperor Qi Fei from the Qilin Race looked down upon them.

"What an exalted place the Grand Demon Palace is, how could it be defiled by those lowly weak birds and bees?"

The Quasi-Emperors from the Qilin Camp, including Peacock, Eight-Tails, Bear Pi, Bai He, and Elk, immediately joined in support.

"Is this the only ambition of the Lord of the Earth Division?"

"With such vision, how can one lead the Earth Division?"

"Really disappointing..."

Brother Cheng watched this group of fools perform.

His suggestion of palace maids was just a casual fishing expedition, to see what the Qilin Camp was like.

After all, demonesses don’t match his human race aesthetics.

And this group of Quasi-Emperors from the Qilin Camp took the bait as expected, coming forward to oppose him.

Once he noted down all these Quasi-Emperors, he began to announce the second matter.

"I’ve decided to launch an attack in three days!"

Attack?

Not just the Qilin Camp but even Quasi-Emperors like Ao Yang Ya Ci were bewildered.

The Eight-Tailed Quasi-Emperor stood up, thick with demon qi.

"Dare I ask the Lord of the Earth Division, who do you intend to attack?"

"Of course, the Immortal Realm."

Brother Cheng said matter-of-factly, "They threatened my Azure Dragon Valley before. If we don’t retaliate, won’t that make me a coward?"

What?

Attack the Immortal Realm?

Quasi-Emperors like Qi Fei, Peacock, and Eight-Tails almost jumped up.

Has he gone mad?

Since the Immortal-Demon War, the Demon Realm and Immortal Realm haven’t erupted into a war; it’s only been minor border skirmishes.

Even though Quasi-Emperors station there year-round, they wouldn’t take action even once in hundreds of millions of years.

Brother Cheng’s attack under the Grand Demon Palace’s banner, imagine how large-scale it would be; it would be essentially full-scale war.

"I disagree!"

Qi Fei was the first to stand up.

"The Demon Realm now upholds a principle of non-aggression with the Immortal Realm; this is the united decision of the Celestial Division Emperors!"

The Peacock Quasi-Emperor cast a sidelong glance at Brother Cheng: "Even if you are the Lord of the Earth Division, you don’t have the authority to issue commands that defy the Celestial Division’s orders!"

Quasi-Emperors like Giant Bear, Bai He, and Elk each stood up to oppose again.

Even Quasi-Emperors like Golden Roc, Cang Wolf, and Cyan Lion shook their heads.

In their view, this was utterly absurd.

The Demon Realm’s power was far inferior to the Immortal Realm, if not for the Immortal Realm having the Demon Realm as a natural enemy, the Demon Realm would’ve been destroyed by them long ago.

In such a situation, not thinking about how to protect oneself, but actively attacking the other side?

Tired of life, huh?

"Sorry, we cannot accept this order!"

Outside the 32 demon platforms, three more Quasi-Emperors loudly opposed.

These three Quasi-Emperors were mid-stage: a snake, a hawk, and a horse.

They represented the three Grand Commanders of the ’Demon Hall Forbidden Army’ stationed directly at the Grand Demon Palace.

Besides the three mid-stage Quasi-Emperors commanders, the Demon Hall Forbidden Army included 300 Demon Kings and 100,000 Demon Venerables.

Even without Demon Emperors, overall they could wrestle with some top-tier Immortal Sect Demon Sects.

This formidable Forbidden Army has always followed the Earth Demon Order from the Lord of the Earth Division, even Demon Emperors can’t command them.

"Attacking the Immortal Realm will affect the stability of the Demon Realm."

"The Lord of the Earth Division should reconsider!"

Seeing them all opposing, Qi Fei was overjoyed.

Before joining the Earth Division, he had received guidance and admonition from two Qilin Emperors.

Precisely to find ways to marginalize Cang Cheng, causing him to slowly lose prestige and become unable to command.

To him, this task seemed incredibly easy.

Of the 32 Quasi-Emperors of the Earth Division, 18 belonged to the Qilin Camp, all united in opposing him.

On his first day, he proposed two absurd suggestions in succession, further lowering his ’impression score’ among other Quasi-Emperors.

Even neutral Quasi-Emperors from the Wolf Race, Lion Race, and Peng Race started opposing him too.

And now, even the ’Demon Hall Guard’ refused to carry out his orders.

Is this too smooth?

Digging your own grave, huh?

Know that the Demon Hall Guard was originally considered every Lord of the Earth Division’s private army, Cang Cheng’s hardest card!

Even this card he couldn’t hold?

Entirely mud that can’t be supported, huh.

On the first day, he faced continuous opposition, losing prestige, loyalty, totally isolated.

He didn’t need to do anything, but he was already becoming a solitary figure, with no one to heed his commands.

"Lord of the Earth Division, your proposal is too absurd and childish."

"No one will agree."

He spoke with a slightly mocking and admonishing tone: "I hope you think carefully about feasibility before speaking, don’t babble..."

Before the words even finished, the War Monkey King suddenly interrupted him.

"Great, great, let’s attack the Immortal Realm!"

The warlike monkey was so excited, jumping up and down.

"Hahaha, I’ve been wanting to blow up those immortals for a long time."

Lin Ning, representing the Dark Phoenix Race, clutched his sword hilt with whitening knuckles, clearly remembering the tragic times when Feixian Sect was hunted and persecuted by the Immortal and Demon Realms.

"I also agree with the attack; if the Azure Dragon Emperor needs a vanguard, I am willing!"

The Golden Dragon King Ao Yang and Yashu King Mountain Goat King exchanged glances.

They were initially inclined to be cautious, believing the attack was too absurd.

But since this was Sect Leader Jiang’s wish...

What reason is there to hesitate?

That elderly master made many absurd decisions before, each magically successful.

"I have no objections."

"Me neither!"

"No matter whom the Lord of the Earth Division wants to attack, I, Old Goat, will certainly follow."

The approval from these few guys left Qi Fei incredulous, such an absurd proposal actually found supporters?

"Are you crazy?"

"Attacking the Immortal Realm will bring disaster to the entire Demon Realm!"
