Seeing his disciple Shuo Xie's expression, Cui Yanluo's face turned cold: "Shuo Xie, didn't you hear what your master said?"
Shuo Xie sneered: "Master, as expected of you. Even after such a major defeat, almost squandering all the true gods, heavenly soldiers and generals left behind by the Heavenly Court, and even the deaths of my senior brothers and sisters, you still have no remorse and still boss me around."
"Insolence!" Cui Yanluo roared in fury, "Is this how you speak to your master?"
"Heh." Shuo Xie sneered: "Master, you are not suitable to be Yama at all. It's not that others call you Yama, you are the real Yama. You are just a mere judge, yet you insist on doing things that even Yama cannot do!"
If it weren't for your ridiculous ambition, so many people wouldn't have died!
"To open up a province? How laughable! Now that the other side is powerful, we should defend the Nine Provinces to the death. Radical action will only lead to death!"
Despite his extreme rage, Cui Yanluo calmed down: "I lost this time, but I have no regrets! The battle between living beings and the supernatural is endless. If we don't kill a batch of supernatural beings, they'll accumulate enough power..."
"So what if we've accumulated enough power?" Shuo Xie interrupted, "The Nine Provinces are protected by the Zhou Tian Star Array, and the other side can't invade at all. As long as we firmly guard the Nine Provinces, we can rest easy!"
"Shuo Xie, this world is not only about the Nine Provinces, but also about the fragments of the Celestial Realm and the Human Realm. If the strongest Nine Provinces does not deplete the power of the Other Shore, then the Other Shore will turn its attention to other places."
Cui Yanluo did not reveal the ancestral land of the human realm, because there were tombs of immortals and gods there, which were related to the grand plan of resurrecting immortals and gods. This matter must never be spoken aloud, and some powerful beings could see through it the moment they opened their mouths.
Therefore, he could only mention in a roundabout way the other celestial realms and human realm fragments scattered on the other side, which do indeed exist. Some of the smaller fragments are not large in area and can be temporarily protected by just a few powerful individuals.
Everything he did was not only to achieve great things and realize his ambitions, but also to share the burden of the ancestral land of humanity.
It's a very simple principle: the Nine Provinces are like a tortoise shell, making it impossible for the other side to attack. Those evil spirits want to devour living beings. If they can't find living beings in one place for a long time, they will naturally disperse and go to find living beings in other places.
The ancestral lands of the human realm may then become targets.
Cui Yanluo knew that the purpose of the Nine Provinces was to act as a shield for the ancestral land of the human world, and the purpose of this shield was not to do nothing, but to stay in the Zhou Tian Star Array every day eating, drinking and having fun, while letting the other side continuously accumulate power.
The only correct approach is for Kyushu to take the initiative and continuously deplete the strength of the other side!
This battle seemed to have caused heavy losses to the Nine Provinces, even exhausting the foundation left by the Heavenly Court. Even the immortals and gods who stayed behind, such as the Giant Spirit God and the Wind God, died. However, it at least severely damaged the demon gods such as the Angel and the God of Happiness. Since most of the demon gods were sealed, Cui Yanluo did not understand why the Other Shore seemed to have been weakened as well.
In the past, when demons died or were seriously injured, they could recover quickly under the nourishment of the other shore, but now it's different; they recover very slowly.
Therefore, this severe damage to the remaining demon gods will at least allow them to recover for a long time, reducing the risk to the ancestral land of the human realm.
Even the dead gods and immortals cannot shake the foundation of the Nine Provinces, because he brought back their divine essence, and in time, he can cultivate a new batch of gods.
All of this was within Cui Yanluo's considerations. He was ambitious, but by no means a person who was fond of grand achievements.
However, his disciple Shuo Xie was completely unaware of his master's considerations. In Shuo Xie's eyes, Cui Yanluo was a person who loved grand achievements.
"Master, stop making excuses for yourself. The Nine Provinces is the largest gathering place for humans. Even if there are other fragments of realms in the Other Shore, how many people could be there? This battle killed over a million people!!"
The number of dead is already greater than the total number of living beings across all the fragments of the realm!
"And inside are your soldiers, your disciples, your family and friends. Are these people not as good as those people from other realm fragments whose names we don't even know?!" Shuo Xie roared, his eyes red.
"What are you if not ambitious and greedy for quick success?! What are you if not selfish and self-serving?!"
Faced with Shuo Xie's roar, Cui Yanluo said in a deep voice, "Shuo Xie, you will never understand, their sacrifice... Ah! You... you traitor!"
However, before he could finish speaking, he let out a scream.
With a single palm strike, Shuo Xie pierced through Cui Yanluo's body and pulled out a bloodstained divine spark.
It was the Death Godhead that the Emperor of Fengdu had previously bestowed upon Cui Yanluo, which contained the key to unlocking the seal of the Underworld.
Upon losing his divine status, Cui Yanluo collapsed to the ground, looking as if he had aged ten years. His already severely injured body was only kept afloat by his divine status, and now that it had been taken away, he was powerless to continue.
Shuo Xie gazed at the blood-stained divine spark, a look of intoxication appearing in his eyes: "Is this the legendary Death Divine Spark bestowed by the Great Emperor of Fengdu? Legend has it that the Death Divine Spark is unique, not left behind by a dead god, but condensed by the Great Emperor of Fengdu using the laws of death with great power. Rather than a divine spark, it is more like a divine artifact, an unparalleled artifact that can grant its owner the power of a god!"
Immediately, he coldly looked at the dying Cui Yanluo: "Master, this is the last time I will call you Master. You are a good Master, but not a good Yama. From now on, I will become the new Yama and take over the Nine Provinces in your place."
"Rest assured, under my leadership, Kyushu will never again suffer such casualties as today."
