Are there others?
The Lord of Slaughter and Salami exchanged a glance. Judging from the meaning of his master's words, the other party seemed to be a chess player like him, and his master was quite wary of him.
There's another being as terrifying as our master!
This world is truly terrifying.
Salami's eyes darted around, and she leaned close to the man in black robes, asking in a sweet voice, "Master, Master, who exactly is hiding in the shadows?"
She felt a chill after she finished speaking; she had never been so coquettish before.
Who would have thought that one day even she would have to resort to seduction?
The man in black snorted coldly and shoved him away with great force: "That's not a question for you to ask. Also, don't try to seduce me in the future. Would you have that kind of interest in your own pet?"
He didn't use the word "livestock," which was already out of consideration for both of them.
Salami's face flushed red and then turned pale; she felt a humiliation she had never experienced before.
However, she reacted quickly and did not show her dissatisfaction. Instead, she smiled and said, "Master is right. Salami knows she was wrong."
The man in black robes stopped looking at him and continued to observe Zhong Shan's movements.
At this time, more and more powerful figures from various witch clans in the Zhongshan direction resigned from their divine positions, and the situation began to spiral out of control.
Even the Heavenly Emperor's golden body couldn't help but frown slightly: "Why do you all act so impulsively? The Witch and Demon races each govern their own territory, which was an agreement made back then. Now that you have resigned from your divine positions, won't that cause chaos in the world?"
Gonggong sneered, "It was agreed that the demon race would rule the heavens and the witch race would rule the earth. Yet, after all these years, the two sides have continued to clash. Now, you have even come to our ancestral witch territory to slaughter the other side's son. Since the agreement from back then is now just an empty piece of paper, why should we continue to wear this shackle?"
Other powerful figures from the Wu tribe echoed their sentiments. The Wu tribe was inherently unruly, and the two tribes already had a long history of grudges. Therefore, everyone was now in a state of high spirits, and their emotions were no longer limited to the matter of Gu's death.
A powerful member of the Witch Clan shouted, "What happened to the proposal to sever the connection between Heaven and Earth made a few years ago? We don't want to see your Heavenly Court coming down to bully us at any time!"
"Yes, only in this way can the growing conflict be completely resolved."
...
With one person taking the lead, everyone started making noise, as if the world were no longer isolated from each other, and the two sides would soon engage in a full-scale war.
Zuan, watching from afar, clicked his tongue in amazement. Among those powerful figures of the Witch Clan, there were several masters of manipulation. Every time things seemed to be calming down, a few would come out and stir up trouble, ultimately leading to this situation. He wondered if someone was behind it all.
However, since it involves the Heavenly Emperor and the Ancestral Witches, it would be quite audacious for someone to actually do it.
At this moment, the golden body of the Heavenly Emperor was confronting the shamans on Zhongshan Mountain, while his true form was discussing matters with the immortals in the Heavenly Palace.
At this time, the Heavenly Palace was also in an uproar. Above the main hall was a large "screen," which was a magic spell cast by the Heavenly Emperor to broadcast the scene of Zhongshan to all the immortals.
The demon immortals were equally indignant after reading it, feeling that the witch clan was far too ungrateful.
It was clearly Gu who was at fault first, and it was only reasonable for the Heavenly Emperor to punish him. How come it has now become the Heavenly Court's fault?
The Heavenly Court bestowed divine positions upon the Witch Clan as a gesture of goodwill and appeasement, yet they are now clamoring that it is a shackle and a cage, and that the Heavenly Court is plotting something malicious against the Demon Clan. Many of the usually tough immortals in the main hall angrily cursed those ungrateful Witch Clan members.
Soon, the pro-war sentiments gained the upper hand in the main hall. The Wu and Yao races had many conflicts to begin with, and if they were to lose face by the Wu race while they were in the right, who in the world would still respect the Heavenly Court in the future?
There were indeed those among the immortals who advocated peace, but their voices were immediately drowned out by the arguments of the pro-war faction.
After all, over the years, which demon race hasn't had a deep-seated blood feud with the witch race?
In such a situation, even immortals would find it difficult to think rationally.
The reason why Zhuanxu publicly executed Gu at Zhongshan was not only because Gu's actions were indeed outrageous, but also because he wanted to take this opportunity to teach the Wu tribe a lesson and vent the long-suppressed warlike sentiments of the demon tribe, so that the situation would not become uncontrollable.
Although he is the Heavenly Emperor, it does not mean that he can do whatever he wants and ignore the interests of the many immortals under his command.
Zhuanxu glanced at Dijun, the leader of the immortals. Many people now assumed he was the next Heavenly Emperor, so he had gathered too many immortals around him.
Di Jun's exceptionally tough stance towards the Wu Clan made him even more popular. Although he hasn't made a statement yet, his trusted subordinates have already spoken on his behalf, saying everything he wanted to say.
If this great war were to actually break out, who knows what the future would hold for the entire world.
At this moment, Chongli, the Fire Official, suddenly stepped forward and said, "To solve this problem, war is not the only way; there is another method."
Zhuanxu's heart sank. Chongli was his grandson, so he knew what method the other party was talking about, but the price would be too cruel.
"I wonder what method the Fire Official is referring to?" a celestial official asked.
"Sever the connection between heaven and earth!" Chong Li's expression was calm, but his eyes were quite resolute.
Upon hearing this suggestion, the previously noisy hall immediately fell silent.
Di Jun, who had been silent all along, finally spoke: "Huo Zheng, do you know what price we will have to pay to sever the connection between heaven and earth? Is it necessary to sacrifice a great god of my demon race for the sake of a few mere witches? And who would be willing to sacrifice him?"
Wherever his gaze fell, the immortals all avoided his eyes. The concept of severing the connection between heaven and earth is simple: it means raising the sky and pressing the earth down, completely cutting off the connection between heaven and earth.
