Chapter 996: 944-945 Unifying the Demon Race, The Lion Emperor’s Ambition_2
Thus, the Lion Emperor stepped back, unwilling to continue probing further, and had to temporarily set aside the matter.
“Perhaps, a truly massive war is needed, a great war that sweeps up all of the Demon Race and Human Race, so they can unite wholeheartedly when facing the threat of extinction,” the Lion Emperor couldn’t help but think.
Regarding the actions of that Shenxiao True Monarch from the human race, the Lion Emperor had been observing them all along. He understood that the other party intended to use this opportunity to spark a great war between the two races, then seize the Qi Luck of the Demon Race and stimulate the human race’s enthusiasm, uniting them as one.
“But, isn’t this an excellent opportunity for your human race, and equally so for me?” A glint flashed in the Lion Emperor’s eyes.
Sometimes, no words are more effective than the truth itself.
The internal issues of the Demon Race had persisted for countless years, and numerous wise ancestors of the Demon Race had been unable to solve them. He couldn’t possibly resolve them easily, for the problem’s root lay deep from the very beginning.
Generally speaking, foundational problems are the hardest to solve, and the longer time passes, the more difficult it becomes to reverse the situation.
Just as the history of those empires in the human race shows, numerous prosperous empires declined and eventually fell, with many problems originating from the time of their founding.
The same was true for the Demon Race. When they first united, no clear leader was established, only honoring the strong. Without being the strongest, one couldn’t induce change, creating a situation that past Demon Race sovereigns found most frustrating.
But there was no doubt that the human race’s recent actions had allowed the Lion Emperor to see a possibility of solving these long-standing issues.
The Demon Race, at first, had to retaliate and form an alliance due to the human race’s tyranny and oppression. However, due to a balance of power established later on, the human race couldn’t pose any danger to the Demon Race anymore, and without the threat to their lives, complacency naturally ensued.
Now, as the human race is on the move again, no longer willing to let the Demon Race languish, they want to completely eradicate the Demon Race. This poses a grave crisis for the Demon Race at this moment.
But crisis brings both danger and opportunity. Faced with such peril, if the Demon Race wants to survive, to live on, they must unite. They must set aside past grievances and sincerely join hands once again.
This was the Lion Emperor’s opportunity. He could use the human race’s action, the threat they posed, as a catalyst to resolve the issues within the Demon Race, to solve problems that had accumulated over countless years, and become the undisputed sovereign.
This was the Lion Emperor’s true plan.
He believed that the current Demon Kings and True Immortals were unwilling to relinquish their authority, confident that even if war broke out with the human race, it wouldn’t affect their existence.
But once the great war between the two races erupts and everything becomes uncontrollable, when the situation turns dangerous, a compromise must be reached. At that time, as the sovereign of the Demon Race, the Lion Emperor would naturally be in an advantageous position to steer it all.
It must be said that the situation between heaven and earth is constantly changing, and any strategizing can encounter the unexpected, for no one will remain unchanging and wait for you to get ready without taking their own precautions.
The human race, having received the Heavenly Court Prototype left by the Common Master, Pei Xuanjing rose the idea of the Godsealing Plan to build the Human Race Heavenly Court. He united many True Immortals, bringing together various forces and powerhouses, intending to use the obliteration of the Demon Race to elevate the Human Race.
However, while the human race was making these moves, the Demon Race wouldn’t sit unchanged and react to nothing.
Just like now, the Lion Emperor had discovered the human race’s plan, and he could just go with the flow, using their schemes to complete his own.

This is what makes a real powerhouse and sage. They never complain about circumstances but adapt their plans according to constant changes, making choices that are most appropriate and beneficial.
Unwittingly, the great war between the Human Race and Demon Race had not yet begun, but both sides had already made their preparations, adding more intentions to it, rendering it even more complex.
What waited ahead was the outbreak of a great battle, whether the human race would muster their strength in one push, sweeping across the Demon Race, and through this, complete their Godsealing Plan to forge the Human Race Heavenly Court.
Or perhaps it would be the Lion Emperor who is a cut above, using the human race as a blade to sever all troubles of the Demon Race, allowing them to undergo a transformation.
All was yet unknown.
However, everyone had already sensed the murderous aura pervading between heaven and earth, almost as if heaven and earth themselves were affected by the preparations of the human and demon races at this moment, becoming exceptionally solemn.
…
Within Tiandu, more than a dozen Human Tribe True Immortals were gathered together, an unprecedented grand assembly.
Since the Ascension of Heaven and Earth, so many True Immortals had appeared among the human race, yet they had never once appeared together at the same occasion.
However, today, these fourteen True Immortals had arrived in avatars, but the real protagonists weren’t them, but rather the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, or to be precise, the Spirit Realm Cave Skies and Mystical Lands of Blessings that the Great Ming Divine Dynasty had put forward.
The Heavenly Court Prototype left behind by the Ancient Common Master consisted of one hundred and eight palaces, thirty-six Spirit Realm Cave Skies, and seventy-two Mystical Lands of Blessings.
Regarding these one hundred and eight Cave-Heaven Paradises, in fact, most had already been allocated, leaving what was to be contended for by these supreme powerhouses and forces.
Aside from the Heavenly Court Prototype that Zhu Houji had refined, the Great Ming Divine Dynasty retained one of the thirty-six Spirit Realm Cave Skies, Pei Xuanjing reserved one for the Shenxiao Sect, the Taoist Academy kept one, and the forces behind the remaining thirteen Human Tribe True Immortals each occupied one as well.
This manner of allocation was considered fair. Each respective force was allotted one, and the reason Pei Xuanjing managed to secure two was due to the special status of the Taoist Academy. Although he was the Academy Head, disciples of the Academy were present in various sects.
Moreover, Pei Xuanjing promised all parties that the Taoist Academy would continue to maintain its current stance, not participating in any disputes among the forces in the future, and would regard the Academy as a Holy Land for cultivators of the world to engage in Taoist discourse, thereby gaining their approval.
Through such an allocation, sixteen of the thirty-six Spirit Realm Cave Skies had been accounted for, with exactly twenty remaining.
Nevertheless, even so, these twenty Spirit Realm Cave Skies were still somewhat too few for all the parties involved.
After the Ascension of Heaven and Earth, supreme strong beings sprang up like bamboo shoots after rain. The once top-tier forces had seen the rise of countless supreme strong beings both before and after the Ascension, but in the presence of True Immortals, they still had to bow down.
Throughout these years, they were constantly searching for ways to ascend to True Immortality. Now that there was an opportunity to obtain a Spirit Realm Cave Sky, they naturally would not miss it.
Therefore, those independent practitioner powerhouses who had initially stayed in Tiandu had actually made a mistake; their true opponents weren’t the immortal sects, but rather those former first-rate forces and the top-tier forces that hadn’t yet birthed a True Immortal.
To these first-rate forces, even twenty Spirit Realm Cave Skies seemed insufficient for an equal share.
However, regarding all this, Pei Xuanjing and the others did not intervene, merely watching indifferently from the sidelines, letting these forces contest amongst themselves. Their reason for being there today was to serve as witnesses, to be a guarantee that would allow these individuals to act without worries for the future.
And indeed, just as Pei Xuanjing and the other True Immortals had anticipated, in the ensuing contest for the Spirit Realm Cave Skies, all parties made their moves and displayed their techniques.
But there was something that had even surpassed what Pei Xuanjing and the True Immortals had expected, the offerings put forth by these forces and powerhouses had managed to somewhat draw their attention.
