Hu Le was resting with his eyes closed in his military tent when a boy in green robes suddenly came in to report that Fuxi and Nuwa were outside requesting an audience.
Hu Le smiled slightly. The reason he hadn't left the camp was because he had already anticipated that the two of them would come.
He knew perfectly well why these two had come.
Now that Emperor Jun and his wife have passed away, they naturally intend to come and inherit their estate...
"Go and invite them in."
Hu Le gave the order in a calm tone.
The boy agreed and went outside. Soon after, he led Fuxi and Nuwa into the tent.
Hu Le stood up to greet them, and then asked the two to sit down opposite him.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Fuxi finally revealed his purpose: he wanted Hu Le to return the demon prisoners to him.
Hu Le smiled slightly after hearing this, thinking to himself: Just as I expected...
Hu Le nodded after hearing this, and without making things difficult for the two of them or making any demands, readily agreed.
After all, the demon race had fought several battles, and the number of demon saints and demon gods who had fallen was countless. Elite soldiers were also killed or wounded, and the entire race had almost had its spine broken by the Yanhuang army.
After this incident, the demon race will likely find it difficult to recover its strength in the short term.
Just like those fallen demon saints, which one of them wasn't born innately, cultivated for countless eons, and formed by the creation of the Heavenly Dao? How could they be cultivated casually?
Now that the demon race has suffered a great defeat, and the human race is about to become the protagonist of the prehistoric world, the demon race's fortune can never be restored to its former glory.
Without the blessing of good fortune and the favor of Heaven, it will be impossible for the demon race to ever rival the human race again.
In the future, perhaps another race will replace humans as the main characters in the primordial world, but it will definitely not be the demon race.
Since the demon race no longer posed a significant threat to the human race, it was quite worthwhile for Hu Le to hand over the prisoners to Fuxi and his sister, making them owe him a huge favor.
Furthermore, with the existence of the Six Paths of Reincarnation and the Animal Path, the demon race would not face the danger of extinction.
If he insists on annihilating the demon race, he will be going against the will of Heaven, thus ruining his own merits...
Upon hearing Hu Le's prompt agreement, Fu Xi immediately rose and bowed in gratitude.
Next, Hu Le invited the brother and sister to a camp.
The demon prisoners were kept here.
Upon seeing the arrival of the brother and sister, most of the demon prisoners' eyes lit up with hope, and they all prostrated themselves and kowtowed, pleading for help from the two of them.
Of course, there were also some demons who, upon seeing the two, showed no excitement whatsoever; instead, their eyes were filled with deep-seated hatred.
In their view, these two, both demon emperors, did not help them fight the enemy in the previous battle. Instead, they closed their mountains and left them to fight alone.
This behavior is undoubtedly a huge betrayal.
He is utterly unworthy of being called the Demon Emperor!
Therefore, the arrival of the brother and sister caused the hatred that these demons harbored towards humans to be transferred onto the two siblings.
It was as if their defeat was entirely due to the two of them not making a move...
The brother and sister naturally saw the hatred in the eyes of those demons, but they could only sigh in their hearts.
They didn't believe that joining in would change the outcome of the demon race's defeat.
Both the Xuanmen (Taoist sect) and the Western lineage are on the side of the human race, so how can the demon race have any hope of winning?
The fact that the demon race has managed to preserve some of its vitality is already a sign that its fortunes are not yet exhausted...
Next, Hu Le sent someone to the demon prisoners to ask if they were willing to leave with the brother and sister.
Upon hearing this, all the demons were extremely excited. If they refused such a good thing, wouldn't they be fools?
Even those demons who harbored resentment towards the two siblings chose to leave with them at this moment.
After all, obeying their orders is far better than being a prisoner among humans.
Did they know that most of the demons captured by humans were reduced to slavery...?
After thanking Hu Le for showing mercy, the two siblings led hundreds of thousands of demon prisoners away in a grand procession...
Shortly after Fuxi and his sister left.
Amitabha Buddha then came to Hu Le's door, demanding the prisoners of the Asuras and even the demons.
Since his own avatar had come to his door in person, he naturally wouldn't refuse.
With Amitabha Buddha rescuing these prisoners, the position of the future leader of the Demonic Cult is secure.
Who knows, one day he might even covet the throne of the Grand Master...
After Amitabha Buddha and his men left, only the human prisoners remained in the camp. These could be left to Chisongzi and the others to handle, so Hu Le did not interfere.
With the three races no longer involved, the upcoming great war will truly become a war for unification within the human race...
After Hu Le saw Amitabha off, Immortal Yuanfu led a group of immortals and gods to pay their respects.
After receiving Hu Le's permission, they returned to the Heavenly Court in a grand procession.
Now that only the internal war among humans remains, they cannot rashly intervene.
Otherwise, if they interfere too much, it will ruin the fate of the human race.
As for why they took action earlier, it was because Houtu Niangniang had already sought outside help.
If it weren't for the involvement of the three major forces—the demon race, the Asura race, and the demon race—they wouldn't have entered the fray in the first place.
After Immortal Yuanfu led the celestial beings away, True Lord Tianyi also led his people back to Penglai...
This is a place of war and conflict, not a place for immortals and gods to linger.
Hu Le immediately summoned his disciples, entrusted the important affairs of the human race to Chi Songzi again, and led the disciples back to Bu You Kong Fang Mountain.
Subsequently, the Yanhuang army won a series of victories and occupied most of the allied forces' territory.
Now, the allied forces led by Houtu Niangniang only have the plains around Renwang Mountain left.
Compared to its peak, its sphere of influence has shrunk by eight or nine tenths.
This is already a case of barely clinging to life.
Because of the success of the Yanhuang army, the missing parts of Hu Le's Human Emperor Dao Fruit are gradually being filled in, and it is becoming more and more perfect.
After returning to Mount Buyoukongfang, he immediately released the incarnation of the Human Emperor Dao Fruit, allowing it to absorb and exhale spiritual energy, evolve human merit and fortune, and perfect its own Dao Fruit.
He entrusted the affairs of the human race to his disciples and began to comprehend the Great Dao of Hunyuan.
In his mind's eye, he already sensed that when the Human Emperor's Dao Fruit incarnation reached perfection, it would be the best time for him to attempt to break through to the Primordial Dao Fruit.
If one delays the time to attain enlightenment out of fear of failure, it will likely be even more difficult to succeed in the future.
As the saying goes, if you don't take what Heaven gives you, you will suffer the consequences.
To attain the Dao of Hunyuan, besides one's own accumulation, the right timing is also the most important factor.
If you don't seize the opportunity when it comes your way, it will be too late to try again once it's gone...
