Chapter 472 Surveillance, Ruthless
The wind blows silently.
After a long while, the Demon Lord slowly spoke: "Great Axe, please give me some time. I need to carefully weigh the pros and cons of this. Alliance is by no means a trivial matter."
The founder of the Great Axe felt a sinking feeling in his heart, but he also knew that he couldn't push too hard, so he nodded and said, "Okay, Demon Lord, I'll give you some time to consider. But the situation is changing rapidly, and I hope that the Demon Lord can make a decision as soon as possible. The human race is ready to join hands with the Demon Lord to fight against powerful enemies."
The Demon Lord of the Prison Clan nodded slightly, and then his figure flashed, turning into a black stream of light and left the flying boat.
Looking at the Demon Lord's departing back, the expression of the Giant Axe Founder changed from gloomy to bright. It was hard to say whether the plan of joining forces with the Prison Clan would succeed or not.
A volume of the original master's notes is nothing to the human race. According to the plan of "a cunning rabbit has three burrows", if the Demon Lord can be pulled onto the chariot, it will bring new strength to the human race. With the increase and decrease of one and the increase of the other, the human race will have much more confidence to face the demon race.
It's no wonder that the original ancestor and the founder of the giant axe thought so much and so far. After all, they also "ruled" the primitive universe in ancient times. Judging from their own experience, they know very well that the demon clan has such a huge power and will definitely not keep to themselves!
And they are not the type to be content with being inferior to others, so conflicts will surely arise in the future... Everything they are doing now is to accumulate foundation for the future.
……
At the same time, in the distant Black Lotus World of the Northern Frontier Alliance.
The True God of the Northern Frontier, the Holy Lord of the Crystal Clan and the Demon God of Xuzhen were discussing the details of the "Liaoyuan Plan" with the Ghost-faced God.
“Ghost Face, what grudge do you have with the human race? You actually want to uproot them?” The True God of Northern Frontier frowned and said with a worried look on his face.
When a rabbit dies, the fox mourns its own death. Strictly speaking, the human race was once the boss among the top races. Even though the original ancestor was suppressed, it can be seen from the fact that they were able to withstand the siege of the forces of the entire primitive universe in ancient times - a lean camel is bigger than a horse!
And now, the Ghost-faced God General actually brought news that the demon clan wanted their alliance to join in the encirclement and suppression of the human race.
The ghost-faced general remained calm, and of course he couldn't tell the truth. Fortunately, his expression of not being easy to mess with carried the attribute of keeping strangers away: "You don't need to know the specific details of the feud."
"You just need to know that if you cooperate with us, we can provide you with what you want most, and this... is something that the human race cannot give you."
The Northern Frontier True God, the Crystal Clan Saint Lord, and the Void True Demon God looked at each other in bewilderment. As for the Lord of the Black Lotus? She had no say in the final decision.
"I think it's possible." Xu Zhen Demon God transmitted his voice, "The demon race is already very powerful. Even if we reject them, they can still wipe out the human race."
"By then, we will get nothing. But if we join forces with the demon clan, not to mention gaining their friendship, the opportunity to transcend is what we really need!" There was a greedy light flashing in the eyes of the Xuzhen Demon God.
As soon as these words were spoken, the balance in the hearts of the Northern Frontier True God and the Crystal Clan Saint Lord began to tilt.
Although the greed and hypocrisy of the Demon God Xuzhen is known to the whole universe, he is not wrong about one thing, that is, at their level, there are very few things that can impress them and make them progress. Now there is one thing in front of them...are they willing to refuse it?
Without waiting for the Crystal Clan Saint to say anything more, a fierce light flashed in the eyes of the Northern Frontier True God, and he said viciously: "Then do it!"
He was born as a lone strongman, and the reason why he became the leader of the Northern Frontier Alliance was not because he had any special feelings for the Northern Frontier Alliance. He simply wanted to experience the addiction of being the leader of a powerful force, to be able to drive his men to do all kinds of trivial things and liberate himself.
And now, in front of the opportunity to transcend, let alone the so-called position of alliance leader, he would not feel any guilt even if he was asked to control the entire alliance to die.
Transcendence, this is what many powerful people dream of!
Throughout this vast history, countless strong men have spent their entire lives trapped in the shackles of their realms, unable to reach a higher level of existence. If they could truly gain the opportunity to transcend through an alliance with the demon race, it would be a great opportunity that could change their fate.
"Think about it. Once we transcend, we will have endless life and control more powerful forces. By then, the holy land will be forever secure, overlooking the rivers and seas..." The persuasive voice of the True Demon God was still echoing in their ears, constantly magnifying the bright prospects that the alliance with the demon race could bring. "On the other hand, the human race may have the foundation left by the original, but the foundation will eventually be exhausted. What's more... do you think their foundation can stop the two-digit strongest people of the demon race?"
"You know, the demons are working together, not like in ancient times when everyone had their own agenda. So, even if we don't cooperate with the demons now, the human race will definitely be in trouble. Don't even think about giving us such tempting benefits when they can't protect themselves."
The Crystal Clan Saint was also persuaded. After the Ancient Rising War, he and the Prison Clan were driven away from the core territory of the original universe and went to the edge to reproduce. Was it voluntary? Nonsense!
If one is strong enough, who would be willing to leave such a good place and go to such a bitter cold place? Now, an opportunity to improve strength is in front of him, coupled with the strong persuasion of his two "companions", the Crystal Clan Saint slowly nodded and agreed.
Moreover, there are differences between the Crystal Clan Saint Lord and the Northern Frontier True God and the Xuzhen Demon God. In the final analysis, both Beijiang and Xuzhen are powerful lone rangers. If one person is full, the whole family will not be hungry. They do not need to reproduce the race or train subordinates, but he is different. Although the population of the Crystal Clan is small, it is still a top race, with hundreds of millions of people.
In the past, the three parties united to resist the pressure of the demon tribe, and at the same time, with the help of a larger force, the tribe would have better conditions for survival and reproduction. But now, seeing that the demon tribe is becoming more and more powerful, especially the battle in Liu Chongshan, which revealed that Tianlang and Chiyu of the demon tribe have the ninth-level strength, and then a little deduction of the number of the strongest people in the demon tribe now... Anyone would be discouraged and dare not easily become an enemy of them.
Instead of betting small for big, it is better to go all in with the dealer. As long as you are willing to let go of your arrogance and unruly nature, joining forces with the demon clan is the best choice.
"When will we do it?"
The three of them looked at each other, saw each other's determination, and spoke to the Ghost-faced General in unison.
This scene made the Black Lotus Lord tremble with joy.
Big moves, big moves! Ever since the rise of the demon race, the original universe that had been peaceful for billions of epochs has set off many big scenes that swept across the universe in just a million years... This is too much trouble.
She sighed in her heart, but the Lord of Black Lotus was not afraid. A fifth-level Lord of the Universe might not be a big deal in the Universe Ocean, but in the Primordial Universe, he was a top figure. Moreover, with a strong party behind her, as long as she did not rush to the front, she would be safe. Although she was still a long way from being the strongest person in the universe, it did not prevent her from longing for a chance to transcend. Maybe she could soar into the sky?
"Don't worry, we are still preparing." The Ghost-Faced God General smiled unkindly, "But before the launch, I will temporarily stay with you and act as a liaison."
Although he is called a liaison, he is actually a form of surveillance. Among the three major forces of the Northern Frontier, Crystal Clan, and Prison Clan, the Northern Frontier Alliance is the most powerful, with hundreds of universe masters under its command, which cannot be underestimated in the original universe. Although Xu Yang had planted a chess piece like the "Lord of Tai'a" in the Northern Frontier Alliance a long time ago, due to his rapid growth in strength, this top-level third-level universe master can provide him with little help. Of course, it cannot be said that it is useless. After all, the "Killer Wu Yuyi" relied on the Lord of Tai'a to complete the second pair.
"You are most welcome." The Northern Frontier True God's star crown circulated, and he smiled warmly. Everyone knew clearly in their hearts that although they had verbally agreed, as long as the dust had not settled, these so-called agreements could be torn up. In the face of absolute interests, face and reputation were nothing. "So, Black Lotus." As he said, the Northern Frontier True God turned his head and looked at the Lord of Black Lotus, "During this period of time, the task of entertaining the Ghost Face Envoy will be handed over to you. You must entertain the distinguished guest well. Of course, the news cannot be leaked."
"Black Lotus obeys your command." The Lord of Black Lotus bowed.
After finishing the business, everyone started to feast and have fun. At the banquet, a group of soul slaves controlled by the Lord of Black Lotus acted as waiters and maids. Delicacies filled the long table one after another, and the rich aroma of wine filled the air.
The musicians, full of natural humor, played cheerful music, and dancers with strange shapes danced in the center, with willow leaves fluttering and graceful figures.
All the true gods were smiling and raising their glasses frequently. Even the usually gloomy Demon God Xu Zhen toasted the Ghost-faced General. They looked so enthusiastic as if they had been close friends for many years.
……
After three rounds of dishes and five flavors of wine, the banquet ended.
The excitement in the crystal hall died down and returned to silence. With a wave of his hand, the leftovers were shaken into elementary particles. The Northern Frontier True God smiled faintly and said jokingly: "Xu Zhen, I heard that you and the Mechanical Father God are close friends. The Mechanical Father God is now a loyal ally of the human race..."
If we talk about the least likely people in the universe to join the demon race, it must be the human race and the mechanical race. Because both of them have been severely punished by the demon race! Several universe masters of the human race were abducted, and it is said that they have not been returned yet, and the mechanical race had five universe masters killed in a sudden attack on the demon race. In the mechanical race, the mechanical father god has the characteristics of race and his words are final. This behavior is almost like a slap in the face with the sole of a shoe. The mechanical father god, who is used to having the final say, can't just ignore it.
"Haha, when planning for big things, of course you can't care about small details." The True Demon God tapped the tabletop with his knuckles, rhythmically playing a tune and humming along, obviously in a very good mood. "I do have an old relationship with that Mechanical guy, and we can even say that our relationship is quite close... But in front of the opportunity to transcend, I have to step back a little. If Mechanical insists on being stubborn, haha, I don't mind sending him off in person..."
The True Demon God has few friends in the universe, but the Mechanical Father God is one of them. The two of them even went on adventures together in the universe for a long time, forging a deep friendship and supporting each other. Even if they are not friends of life and death, they are beyond ordinary friends. Otherwise, when the alien race wanted to kill Luo Feng in the original work, they would not have asked the Mechanical Father God to ask for the True Demon God.
"That's good. We should supervise each other and not leak the news." The Northern Frontier True God nodded. "As for the Demon Lord, let him know vaguely and tell him the details when he comes back. If he hasn't come back by the time the attack starts, he won't be able to help, so it makes sense not to bring him along... What do you think?"
"Makes sense." The Crystal Clan Saint agreed.
"No problem." The Demon God Xu Zhen would naturally not object.
……
The Black Lotus World, offering sacrifices outside Xuan Mountain.
The Lord of the Black Lotus personally led the way, taking the Ghost-faced General with him towards the palace prepared for him.
Along the way, the surrounding environment is like a dream.
Tall and exotic plants grow on both sides of the bluestone road. The branches of these plants are as crystal clear as colored glass, and the leaves are colorful, swaying gently in the breeze, making a pleasant rustling sound. The flowers are huge, with layers of petals, some are as bright red as burning flames, and some are as blue as the deep night sky. The stamens are twinkling with stars, exuding a refreshing fragrance.
"Just send it here. There's no need to serve her on weekdays, and no need to send waiters." In front of the palace gate, the ghost-faced general said calmly.
"Okay, this is my token. If the messenger has any request, you can message me at any time." The Lord of Black Lotus took out a black token with a lotus printed on it and handed it over with both hands.
"Ah."
After the Lord of Black Lotus left, the Ghost-Faced God slowly turned around, his eyes sharp as torches, and began to carefully examine the unique palace complex in front of him.
What came into view was a towering main hall, which was built around a huge world tree. The trunk of this world tree was extremely thick, with a diameter of tens of thousands of kilometers, and the bark was covered with mysterious patterns, like ancient runes, emitting a faint golden light.
The huge branches stretch out in all directions like giant dragons winding around. Dense leaves grow on the branches, each of which is as big as a hill. The leaves are translucent emerald green, and under the shining of the stars, they sparkle with a lively luster and contain endless life energy.
"The environment is great. They actually turned the corpses of special life forms into a palace." The Ghost-faced General praised.
As for the smaller palaces on both sides of the main hall, each one is shaped like a giant mushroom. The mushroom's cap is made up of layers of petals, which are as white as snow with light pink edges, just like a girl's skirt.
These are also special plant life forms, called 'Many Flower Mushrooms', natural ten-fold genetic organisms.
However, they had all died by then, and their bodies had become palaces for entertaining distinguished guests.
"crunch-"
The world tree door was pushed open.
He scanned the area with his mind and found no surveillance. In the center of the hall was a green cushion, with tables, benches and even beds on both sides, but these were not worthy of the Ghost-faced General's attention.
With a wave of his hand, a barrier was set up, and a magnificent altar was released.
And sitting cross-legged on the altar were the three Akabane generals who had been waiting for a long time.
There was no other way. The blood-marked Taoist soldiers they were carrying could not be too far away from the Wuya Altar, so they could only carry them with them. (End of this chapter)
