In a world of pure martial arts, Yun Shou initially believed he could only live an ordinary life with the weak cheat he possessed.
That was until the age of fourteen, when he obtained a secon...
The giant water-man felt a pang of sadness, thinking, "My boss is the true king!"
"However, what the eldest wants is to ascend to the highest position in the Azure Domain from birth. He wants to occupy the majority of the Azure Domain, to control it entirely! At most, he'll leave other races a little bit of water and grass to eat."
"If the boss comes out now, we can only achieve 40%... and if the humans and demons are petty, we can't hold out for long."
"That wretched Xuanwu only cares about the divine beast clan, while neither I nor the boss are..."
[Human King Jiang Yi and the Black Dragon Demon King are about to unleash their true power.]
Then, it's your turn to make your move.
"Stop arguing! You two, stop arguing!"
Jiang Yi immediately stopped, and the Black Dragon Demon King also cast a questioning glance at her: "Who are you?"
"This is the third future king of our race," Jiang Yi explained. By lying to the demon race, she was subtly implying that you were about to become king and were qualified to participate in discussions about true kings.
"I have a way to solve this problem. The demon race wants 45% of the demonic land, fine!"
"But—" you transmitted your voice, "the rest will all belong to the human race."
The Black Dragon King remained unmoved, glancing at the Water Giant who was staring blankly (o﹃o ) with interest: "Are you confident you can persuade it, or do you want to kill it?"
[You transmit your voice.]
"The Demon Clan has only just fallen; no new powerful clan should be born in the Azure Domain. The era of the three-way balance of power is over; there's no need to let it return!"
"Actually, this is also beneficial to your demon race, isn't it?"
"The existence of the three powerful clans keeps us in check and balance. Even if one of them declines, as long as it doesn't decline to the point where not a single king remains, it won't be wiped out!"
"Even if one side becomes powerful, it will attract the combined forces of the other two to fight it, so it is safe from beginning to end."
"However—your demon race has the Xuanwu True King, which already provides you with an absolute safety net! The checks and balances between the three races are actually a limitation for you!"
The Black Dragon King remained silent for a long while, then parted its jaws, revealing fine, gleaming fangs, each ten meters in height.
Compared to its length of 10,000 meters, it is indeed small, but each one is equivalent to five or six of you stacked up high.
It spoke: "You, or the human race behind you, are so confident that you will always be stronger than my divine beast lineage and will never decline?"
"If only our two powerful races remain in this Azure Domain, my race will have countless opportunities to start over, while for your human race, defeat once is your destiny!"
The black dragon's tone held a hint of amusement: "Or are you confident you can surpass Venerable Xuanwu, or are you planning to outlive Venerable Xuanwu until his lifespan ends?"
You shake your head: "Don't worry about that, just tell me if you agree or not."
[A burst of demonic laughter, carrying with it a powerful aura, exploded in your ears: "Why not? But since you humans want 55%, I won't be making a move. I'll just sit back and watch!"]
You politely gestured for them to leave: "If you're going to stand by and watch, please retreat a great distance to avoid any lingering effects."
"Good!" the Black Dragon Demon King readily replied, "It seems you have more than one Human King here today!"
Having said that, without further hesitation, he turned and flew towards a certain place, also using his demonic energy to envelop the thirty demon lords below who were dumbfounded and watching the show.
As you said, this is all beneficial to the demon race.
[What harm would it do to the demon race if humans killed the Sea King?]
They don't need to exert any effort, nor do they need to... follow the rules afterwards!
[You think you'll actually get 55% just because I say so? In the end, whoever grabs the most gets it!]
[It was agreed that any unfair distribution would be addressed jointly by the other two parties... but the other party's Sea King was killed by your own hands, humans!]
[Besides, even if the rules are followed exactly as agreed beforehand, the demon race will still receive the highest possible return. Although the human race gains an extra 20% of the demonic land, they still won't lose out!]
Most sea creatures belong to the category of demonic beasts, and are naturally drawn to the demon race—the demon race has long intended to recruit them, especially since they have recently suffered repeated heavy losses.
[But if the demon race were to actually do this, the human race would offer assistance to the sea race, and the water giant god, being a non-divine beast, would not agree!]
But now that the human race wants to kill the water giant... many things will become much easier.
[The Black Dragon True King, along with numerous demon lords, fled a distance of fifteen million li within a hundred breaths, allowing the human race to fight with complete freedom.]
"With three powers in balance, smaller tribes or sea creatures can also take advantage of the chaos, acting as a lubricant."
"But when only the demon and human races remain in this Azure Domain, the sea race, having lost its true king, is no longer worthy of wavering between the two; it must side with our race!"
"Humans have two ancient sayings... For the sea race, it's the saying of Wei Junjie, the Enlightened One from the West!"
"For humanity—they're shooting themselves in the foot!"
The Black Dragon King never imagined he could lose.
Then it heard the mournful cry of the sea...
[The dragon looked completely bewildered.]
[No, it hadn't even run far enough, it hadn't even turned around to watch the fight, how could the battle be over and Aquaman gone?]
[Return to the original location of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace.]
A mournful cry from the deepest depths of the ocean resonates within the soul of every person, awakening the most fundamental sorrow.
But you beamed with joy.
"Another day of victory for the True Party."
"This water giant is completely oblivious to the atmosphere. It ran so far after my secret conversation with the Black Dragon Demon King, and now the human race has produced a King of the Century, yet this thing is still standing there like an idiot."
"After I've convinced these two people beside me in that future, I'll have plenty of time to unleash my power and crush them..."
"And, even as it was dying, this water giant was shouting that its boss would definitely avenge it... It seems the Merman True King was the first Sea King."
You turned to look at the two kings beside you, and nudged Jiang Yi and Xu Shuanghua.
"Stop standing there like an idiot, it's over."
Jiang Yi: "..."
Xu Shuanghua: "..."
They both exclaimed in unison, "Your Qi Luck Technique... it actually succeeded?"
[Decades ago (Chapter 325), you told the people of the Supreme Hall that you possessed a secret technique of luck; the more powerful human beings stood beside you, the greater the power it unleashed.]
The only drawback is that it consumes a great deal of luck, but you compensated for this with your supernatural powers.
