In terms of his understanding of the Southern Divine Region and the various emperors in the Southern Region, Cang Shitian definitely far surpassed everyone present.
He clearly knew the temperament and weaknesses of Emperor Xuanyuan and Emperor Ziwei. Of course, weaknesses were almost non-existent at the level of the God Emperor, but when a force that was truly fatal came, it would be completely exposed like all mortal spirits.
World destruction. These were two words that none of the king realm gods had ever thought of. They were absurd things that would never happen in their and all the people’s cognition.
But when this disaster actually came...especially when, right before their eyes, the Nanming Divine Realm, which was far more powerful than them, was still rolling with smoke of destruction, every hair on Emperor Xuanyuan and Emperor Ziwei's body suddenly stood up, and every nerve was twitching violently.
Because it has never happened before, everyone would always subconsciously ignore the Demon Lord Yun Che in front of them. He was not out for invasion, not for plunder, not for any ambition or maximization of interests, but only for revenge!
And it is the most cruel and brutal revenge, without any mercy or leeway!
Negotiation? That was simply their delusion. Humiliation and destruction... Even the opportunity to choose was almost a gift.
Emperor Xuanyuan's face gradually turned from red to a terrifying purple. His lips trembled, but he was unable to speak. His entire spine seemed to be immersed in an icy prison, and a soul-piercing chill spread throughout his body.
Hiss~
The terrifying black lines exploded in the air, gradually approaching the bodies of the two God Emperors. The two God Emperors were in great chaos after hearing Cang Shitian's words, and their resistance became even more unbearable.
“Demon… Lord…” Emperor Ziwei gnashed his teeth and muttered, blood dripping from the corners of his mouth. “Although I felt guilty about what I did to you back then… I don’t blame you to this extent… Do you… really… want to… do such a ruthless thing…”
“Cang Shitian.” Yun Che said calmly, “If you want to be this demon master’s dog or horse, you must first prove your qualifications.”
There was no need for Yun Che to make it clear. Cang Shitian immediately said, "After Emperor Xuanyuan and Emperor Ziwei were buried here, panic, the lack of a leader, and the struggle for royal power... will cause the Xuanyuan Realm and the Ziwei Realm to fall into chaos. In this case, there is no need to trouble the Demon Lord and the three Yama Ancestors. With the help of Emperor Yan, I am very confident that I can destroy one of them."
"Cang Shitian! You~"
"However," Cang Shitian continued, ignoring the ferocious looks of Emperor Xuanyuan and Emperor Ziwei, "Although Xuanyuan and Ziwei have committed serious crimes, their crimes are not as serious as Nanming's. Moreover, based on my understanding of Xuanyuan and Ziwei over the years, they are not so stupid that they are hopeless. Therefore, Shitian dares to ask the Demon Lord to give them two more chances, and also give Xuanyuan World and Ziwei World a chance."
The expressions on Emperor Xuanyuan and Emperor Ziwei's faces froze, but their muscles were still trembling.
“…” Yun Che glanced sideways at Emperor Xuanyuan and Emperor Ziwei, then snorted and whispered, “You two still have a chance to say one word.”
The indifferent and contemptuous tone was as if an emperor with unparalleled power was showing pity to the two most humble people.
The power of the Three Yama Ancestors was slightly reduced, which reduced the pressure on the two God Emperors. The Purple Star Emperor clenched his hands, thinking of his life as an emperor and the ancestors of the Purple Star lineage. He gritted his teeth and his eyes became extremely fierce.
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly realized that the momentum of Emperor Xuanyuan beside him was rapidly weakening.
"Okay," Emperor Xuanyuan closed his eyes and whispered, "If the Demon Lord treats Xuanyuan well... the Xuanyuan lineage is willing to be commanded by the Demon Lord."
The word "destroy the world" is too heavy, enough to overwhelm everything... including the dignity and honor of a God Emperor.
Even a figure like Qianye Fantian took the initiative to kneel to Yun Che for the survival of the Brahma Monarch, and exchanged his death for the continuation of the Brahma Monarch, let alone Xuanyuan.
Dignity, pride, origin, and merit in saving the world... In the face of absolute power and absolute means, they are all bullshit.
"Xuanyuan, you...what did you say!" Emperor Ziwei's eyes suddenly turned, his face full of disbelief.
“Heh,” Emperor Xuanyuan laughed bitterly. The words were out and it was impossible to take them back. Instead, his expression was somewhat relaxed. “We can die proudly in battle, but what we get in return may be the destruction of the star realm and bloodline… Cang Shitian is right. The Demon Lord is not the Dragon Emperor. He will not have morality and mercy.”
"Although living in disgrace is despised by the world, it can at least keep Xuanyuan safe. Moreover... the truth of that year is already known to the world. Even if we die unyieldingly today, in the eyes of the world, do we really die with dignity?"
After saying this, Emperor Xuanyuan let out a long breath. Half of these words were addressed to Emperor Ziwei, and the other half to himself.
The corner of his eyes glanced at Yun Che’s position, and his heart was filled with endless gloom and fear.
Before today, the Four God Emperors of the Southern Region had never believed that the Northern Divine Region could contend with the Western Divine Region.
However, after witnessing the terror of the people around Yun Che and the destruction of the Southern Divine Region, this thought also collapsed. Cang Shitian decisively changed sides, and Emperor Xuanyuan's will finally collapsed.
"A wise choice." Cang Shitian said with a smile.
“Xuanyuan, are you crazy too!” Ziwei trembled all over and screamed, “We carry the legacy of the True God and inherit the glory of our ancestors for hundreds of thousands of years. Even if it is tragically severed, we will never be slaves to others! My Ziwei lineage… even the lowest-level Xuanists will never fear death. Why do you have to degrade the Xuanyuan lineage!!”
Emperor Xuanyuan closed his eyes and did not respond... His choice had nothing to do with whether he was afraid of death or not.
"Nanming was destroyed because it was severely damaged by the Ming God Cannon! Our two worlds have a foundation of hundreds of thousands of years and countless powerful people. How could they be so easily destroyed by them! I'm afraid that before they even get close, they will be caught in the wrath of the Dragon God Realm and the encirclement of the entire Western God Territory! By then, not only you, but the entire Xuanyuan Realm will be affected by you, and there will be no way to retreat!"
"..." Emperor Xuanyuan remained speechless.
“Well said.” Yun Che praised with words, but there was a scornful look on the corners of his lips. He said calmly, “Xuanyuan will be pardoned temporarily, Ziwei… kill!”
At the Demon Lord's order, the power suppressing Emperor Xuanyuan suddenly disappeared without a trace. His arms dropped down, and as he relaxed, cold sweat poured down his body like a rainstorm, soaking his entire body in an instant.
The power of the Three Yama Ancestors was immediately concentrated on the body of Emperor Ziwei. A series of extremely harsh "cracking" sounds were heard instantly... That was the sound of Emperor Ziwei's bones breaking under the terrifying pressure.
Even Nan Wansheng couldn't resist the combined efforts of the three Yama ancestors, let alone the Purple Star Emperor. His face was as pale as paper, and his protective power twitched like a worm, but his eyes remained firm, flashing an increasingly intense purple light.
Click!
There was another crisp sound, and the Purple Emperor's chest sank greatly, and blood gushed out from his seven orifices. At this time, the purple light in his pupils was also extremely strong, and he let out a loud roar of pain.
"drink!!!!"
It was like the purple sky collapsing and the purple sun raging violently. At that instant, the purple light all over the sky released terrifying divine power, and actually tore a crack in the power blockade of the Three Yama Ancestors.
In the crack, Ziwei Emperor staggered out, but the next moment, all the Yama demons attacked together, and the power of multiple Yama demons pressed down.
The purple light that had not yet dissipated suddenly twisted, driving the Ziwei Emperor to tear the void fiercely, and also broke the heavy pressure of Yama's power... He knew that resistance was hopeless in this situation, and it was impossible for him to even drag someone down with him. The only thing he could do was to escape at all costs.
As expected of a King Realm God Emperor, the power that Ziwei Emperor exploded with in despair surpassed every moment of his life, and he fully displayed the grace of the Southern Territory God Emperor, forcibly breaking free from the blockade and suppression of the Three Yama Ancestors and the Yama Demons… Although it was only temporary, it was already proud enough.
After releasing a power beyond the limit, Emperor Ziwei felt dizzy for a moment, but his body did not stop for a moment. He desperately used the last of his strength to escape to the south.
But the shadow flashed, and a hand that was getting bigger and bigger appeared in his field of vision... In his spiritual perception, he saw a sword energy approaching at a very fast speed, which he was very familiar with.
Emperor Xuanyuan.
Chi!
The palm hit Emperor Ziwei's chest, and what was heard was an extremely sharp tearing sound.
Emperor Xuanyuan had a cold expression, with almost no expression on his face. When his palm struck Emperor Ziwei, endless sword energy penetrated into Emperor Ziwei's body from his palm, destroying him without hesitation or mercy.
As the Divine Emperor of the Royal Realm, he would not hesitate any longer now that he had made his choice.
He chose to bend his knee to Yun Che, so the Ziwei Emperor who would rather die than surrender… the person who had stood shoulder to shoulder with him just a moment ago, became the tool for him to express his sincerity.
It is conceivable that the Purple Star Emperor's power would be greatly depleted if he forcibly broke free from the Three Yama Ancestors and the Yama Demons. He was hit by this attack when his remaining strength was not enough, so he could not even muster a trace of blocking power, let alone counterattack.
"you……"
With just one word of extreme weakness, the body of Ziwei Emperor felt as if pierced by thousands of swords. Hundreds of sharp blood arrows shot out from his body. At this time, a ghost claw from Yan Er also clamped tightly on the back of Ziwei Emperor.
The power of Yan Tianxiao and the other Yamas also arrived in an instant, suppressing his body and the power that did not have time to surge again.
This time, Emperor Ziwei did not struggle any more. He seemed to have accepted his fate. His somewhat distracted eyes looked straight at Emperor Xuanyuan. There was no disappointment, no ridicule. Perhaps, he was not surprised at Emperor Xuanyuan's sudden move... starting from when he knelt down to Yun Che.
"Xuanyuan, listen to me." The Purple Star Emperor said in a hoarse voice, "I have nothing to say about your choice. But even if my Purple Star lineage is completely destroyed, I will never be a slave to the demons!"
He turned his eyes sharply, stared at Yun Che and said, “Yun Che, since you have chosen to fight to the death, the resistance of my Ziwei Realm... will definitely stain you with blood!”
"Haha, hahahaha." Cang Shitian suddenly laughed again. He shook his head and sneered, "Brother Ziwei, it's rare that you are still so naive after being a God Emperor for 20,000 years. Resistance? Red blood? Are you so sure that there is such a thing in your Ziwei Realm?"
“……” Emperor Ziwei frowned slightly.
"The demons in the Northern Territory have been pent up with resentment for nearly a million years, and every one of them wants to sacrifice their lives for this earth-shattering war. As for the Purple Star Realm, as the Supreme King Realm, it has enjoyed over 700,000 years of supremacy and comfort. This generation, the previous generation, the generation before that... have never experienced a true catastrophe. Are you sure that when the demons come, their first reaction will be resistance, rather than fear and chaos?"
"The powerful Eastern Divine Region was defeated by the Northern Divine Region one after another, and in the end, the kings of all realms rushed to surrender. Emperor Ziwei believes that the Southern Divine Region will be much better?"
"Hmph!" Emperor Ziwei snorted disdainfully.
"Besides... death? Tsk tsk." Cang Shitian smiled grimly, turned around and bowed, "Demon Lord, the Ten Directions Canglan Realm is very similar to the Ziwei Realm, and Shitian knows the Ziwei Realm like the back of his hand. The Ziwei lineage has special vitality and blood essence, which can benefit oneself and others, and is very suitable for replenishing. Although it is refreshing to destroy it, it is quite wasteful, so Shitian dares to propose..."
"It is better to raise them than to kill them. After stepping into the Ziwei Realm, keep the Ziwei lineage like livestock. Men can be slaves and women can be prostitutes. Regularly absorb their Ziwei vitality for the Demon Lord and his demons. This will not only be of great benefit, but those Ziwei people who are afraid of death may even be grateful and pay homage to the Demon Lord for his grace to spare their lives for generations."
"In this way, within a few generations, the Ziwei lineage will change from a former imperial clan to a slave clan of demons, and this will be passed down forever. After all, there is nothing in this world that is easier to cultivate than slavery."
Yan Tianxiao and a group of Yama frowned at the same time. They all had a strong hatred towards the Southern Region's profound practitioners, and at this moment they all clearly felt a deep chill.
Emperor Ziwei raised his head abruptly, and his pale face, which had refused to surrender, was covered with a layer of terrifying blue-black color. His pupils contracted extremely, and purple marks like explosions spread out.
Qianye Wugu looked at Cang Shitian deeply, and then slowly closed his eyes.
From what he knew, Cang Shitian quickly weighed the pros and cons, and as the Southern Territory God Emperor, he decisively switched sides to Yun Che, and his switch was extremely thorough. In order to prove his usefulness and loyalty to Yun Che, he did everything he could.
Then, if one day in the future, the Northern Divine Region was defeated by the Western Divine Region, or another force emerged that was strong enough to crush Yun Che, he would definitely be the first to abandon them, and before abandoning them, he would most likely give them the most vicious backstab.
