Emperor Yao laughed upon hearing this: "When did the Heavenly Court's demon race ever take the human race seriously? They actually want to form an alliance with the human race."

Wu Hui snorted: "Normally, the human race is of little importance, but at such a crucial time, the human race naturally needs to contribute."

Emperor Yao also put away his smile: "But why should the human race help you?"

Wu Hui was surprised and furious at this answer: "The Heavenly Court has protected the human race a lot over the years, and the human race also worships the gods of the Heavenly Court. Moreover, you are also from the Heavenly Court, and you also have the bloodline of the Heavenly Emperor. How can you not help us at such a critical moment?"

“But over the years, many witches have also protected the human race, and the human race also worships many witch gods. It is indeed not good to favor one side,” Di Yao paused, then looked towards the city. “As for me, although I was born into the Heavenly Court’s demon race, now that I have been revered as the Human Emperor by the human race, I naturally cannot betray their respect and trust.”

Wu Hui's expression immediately changed: "Are you going to help the Witch Clan?!"

Emperor Yao shook his head slightly: "The human race is too weak and has no ability to participate in the struggle between the witch and demon races. We will not help either side."

Hearing his reply, Wu Hui finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Alright, just remember your identity and your promise!"

The worst-case scenario would have been for the human race to side with the witch race, but now that the two races are not helping each other, it's an acceptable outcome.

Next, he planned to win over other forces and didn't want to waste time here, so he asked Yun Yuqing.

Yun Yuqing leaned closer to Zu An: "I want to be with him."

Wu Hui frowned slightly. In the past, he would never have allowed such a pure Heavenly Emperor bloodline to remain by a mortal's side, lest the purity of her bloodline be contaminated.

But now the Lich War has reached a fever pitch, and I may have to join the battle at any time. It would be dangerous for the enemy to be by my side.

So he gave Zuan some instructions and warnings, and then left on a cloud of fire.

Di Yao smiled and looked at Zu An: "Now it's just us left again. Should we fight or not?"

Zuan: "..."

He had to admit that the other party was indeed a very good manipulator, and after just one interaction, he had successfully dispelled most of his hostility.

Moreover, the rise of the human race truly depends on him. If something were to happen to him now, the future of the human race, and even his own and those familiar people around him, would likely face unpredictable consequences.

"You're right, we really don't have any life-or-death grudges."

"It's so pleasant to talk to smart people. By the way, I have a gift for you; you should need it."

Emperor Yao casually tossed something over, and Zu An caught it and saw that it was a scepter. He could feel the faint aura of the human emperor flowing over it, the authority of the laws of the human realm!
