But he couldn't bring himself to believe this woman and associate with the sinful race. Maybe she was just deceiving him. Besides, although this person was only mortal, the thought of his first day descending to the mortal realm still made his backside ache. Who knew if there were other schemes waiting for him?
"If I agree to your request, then... what do you plan to do with me?" Yuhao looked at her with some concern.
“Of course, I’ll send you to the Immortal Realm!” Youyou replied directly.
"The Immortal Realm?" He was taken aback. Wasn't the passage supposed to be in the mortal realm? He thought the other party would ask him to guard the seal or something.
“That’s right! Isn’t your true form known as the God of War?” Youyou said. “Although you are only a primordial spirit avatar now, you should be quite good at cultivating gods, right? Sixth and Seventh Brothers often say that the Immortal Realm lacks talent to teach gods. You should know this better than the old man of divine sense.”
"You...you want me to teach immortals in the celestial realm how to cultivate divinity?!" Yu Hao exclaimed in surprise, looking at her with the eyes of someone who looked at a monster.
"Yeah! Do you have any other skills?" She said matter-of-factly. If she couldn't send him back, she could work! Although the Phoenix Clan was an option, there was still a difference between them. Teaching demons and immortals was fine, but there was a difference between humans and gods.
“No…” Yu Hao was even more confused. “Didn’t you just say you wanted to guard against the demons?” Moreover, now that she has unified the Immortal Realm, if everyone in the Immortal Realm can cultivate to godhood, wouldn’t she be afraid of threatening her position once they grow up?
Youyou glanced at him up and down, and seeing that he really didn't understand, she sighed, put down the report in her hand, and decided to explain the reasoning behind it to him properly... oops, I mean, to explain it to him properly.
"Then, in your opinion, how should I deal with demons who don't even have a shadow?"
“Naturally, we must guard the seal and strengthen the blockade. We must prevent the demons from having any chance to break out of the demon realm,” Yu Hao said seriously. “If possible, it would be best to destroy the passage and completely cut off the possibility of the demons invading.”
"Hmm." You You nodded. "What you said makes sense, but it's only a temporary solution. They're in the shadows while we're in the open. No matter how tightly we guard, there's still a possibility that they might exploit a loophole. The demon that appeared in the Immortal Realm is an example. And even if we destroy the passage, won't a second or third passage appear? Will we then have to create another seal and bring down another saint?"
“…” Yu Hao frowned, unable to answer.
"Yuhao, why do you think the Three Realms are afraid of the Demon Realm and try every means to prevent them from invading?" she continued to ask.
Yuhao replied quickly this time, "The demon realm is ferocious and unpredictable, so of course we need to prevent widespread bloodshed."
“No!” Youyou shook her head and looked at him seriously, “It’s because the Three Realms are too weak!”
"What..." Yuhao was stunned.
"Whether it's the human realm, the demon realm, or the immortal realm, none of them are strong enough to confront the demon race head-on. Demons are inherently ferocious, so encountering them usually means certain death for humans. Because they are weak, because they can't win, they have to be on guard. But what if one day they are no longer weak?" Youyou bluntly stated her long-term plan in one breath.
"Why are you gods not afraid of the demons? Why have we never heard of the demons wanting to invade the divine realm? Is it because your territory is not big enough, or because your people are not good-looking enough? No, it's because you have the strength to fight them, so you are not to be trifled with."
"But mortals cultivate to become immortals, and immortals cultivate to become gods; this is the normal advancement process in this world. Since there are channels in the Three Realms that can improve one's strength, why not use them to improve oneself?"
"If humans are not strong enough to deal with demons, then we will cultivate immortality. If becoming an immortal is not enough, then we will cultivate godhood! When everyone in the Three Realms has the strength to suppress the demon race, why should we be afraid of them?"
"As the saying goes, 'A thief can only be caught a thousand days in the act, not a thousand days in the act of guarding against thieves.' You may be able to guard against thieves today, but you might not be able to guard against them tomorrow. As the great man said, 'If you fall behind, you will be bullied; to forge iron, you must be strong yourself!'"
"Learning is an ability that every living being possesses; I am merely providing an environment for everyone to learn. Once everyone has sufficient strength, the question will not be whether the Demon Realm can cross over into the Three Realms, but whether they dare to do so."
"When all realms are at the same level, there will naturally be no distinction between humans, immortals, gods, demons, or even the six realms. All beings will be reincarnated from the underworld, and after death, they will all go through the cycle of reincarnation hand in hand. Who's afraid of whom?"
Yuhao: "..."
Feng Rong: "..."
Hookah: "..."
That makes a lot of sense, but why do I inexplicably feel like I'm shorter somewhere?
