Lu Ya, Bai Ze, and Ji Meng's joy was genuine.
Indeed, the demon race once had a very glorious past.
They were once the overlords of the primordial world, and almost became its rulers!
But that's all in the past!
Times have changed!
The glory of the demon race has passed for a long time, a great eon.
Now, the human race, whom the demon race once bullied and with whom they had a deep-seated enmity, has risen to power.
The Shang Dynasty is so powerful that the demon race can never defeat it, no matter what!
Faced with this situation, submitting to the Shang Dynasty has become the best option for the demon race.
If Di Xin refuses the submission of Lu Ya and Bai Ze.
Therefore, one can imagine that an incredibly terrible disaster awaits the demon race!
Fortunately, Emperor Xin did not reject them and chose to accept the demon race.
Even if it meant serving the powerful Shang dynasty in a very humble manner, becoming their vassals.
To put it bluntly, they want to be dogs for the big merchants!
But what's wrong with being a dog?
Even powerful figures like the Demon Master Kunpeng, the Styx Ancestor, and the Zhenyuan Immortal, weren't they all serving the Shang Dynasty and acting as its lackeys?
It's better for them to lead the demon race to serve as dogs for the Shang Dynasty than for countless demons to die at the hands of the Shang Dynasty, right?
...
After Emperor Xin agreed to let Lu Ya, Bai Ze, Ji Meng and other great demons lead the demon race to submit to the Shang Dynasty.
He summoned Lu Ya, Bai Ze, Ji Meng, and other powerful demons to meet him.
Lu Ya, Bai Ze, Ji Meng, and others had personally witnessed Di Xin seemingly invincible, forcefully suppressing the four saints: Taishang Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, Jieyin Daoren, and Zhunti Daoren.
They knew very well that Di Xin's strength was perhaps insignificant compared to that of Yin Zicheng, the sage ancestor of the Shang Dynasty.
However, compared to himself, Di Xin was far superior!
As the saying goes, everyone is an ant before a sage.
Di Xin was able to suppress the Four Supreme Saints in one fell swoop. Compared to him, we, who were not saints, were as weak as ants!
They arrived before Emperor Xin.
Despite being prominent figures among the demon race, Lu Ya, Bai Ze, Ji Meng, and others were all filled with trepidation and displayed great humility.
Di Xin was very satisfied with the attitude of Lu Ya, Bai Ze, and Ji Meng.
He tossed out several servant contracts and had Lu Ya, Bai Ze, and Ji Meng sign them.
Although Lu Ya, Bai Ze and the others knew that once they signed the contract given by Di Xin, their fate would no longer be in their own hands.
However, they still had no choice but to sign.
After all, circumstances are beyond their control; they simply have no choice in the matter!
...
With Lu Ya, Bai Ze, Ji Meng, and other powerful demons signing servant contracts, their lives were in the hands of Emperor Xin and Yin Zicheng.
After the deaths of the Demon Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, the demon race, which had split into two major forces, reunited once again.
Whether it was the lineage of Demon Master Kunpeng or the lineage of Lu Ya, which was passed down from Demon Emperor Jun, they all became the vassals and lackeys of the Great Shang!
This happened right after the demon race submitted to the Shang Dynasty.
Kunlun Mountains.
"Buzz..."
"roar......"
Qilin Cliff shone brightly, and a majestic Qilin mythical beast roared to the sky, revealing its true form.
He had antlers like a deer, a head like a camel, a neck like a snake, a belly like a clam, scales like a dragon, claws like an eagle, paws like a tiger, and ears like a cow. A powerful aura emanated from his body, making him seem like the resurrected Qilin!
He is the true form of the Four-Unlikes, the mount of the Primordial Celestial Venerable!
...
The Four-Unlikes was originally the eldest son of the First Qilin, one of the three great overlords of the ancient world.
At the end of the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity, the three overlords, the Ancestral Dragon, the Primordial Phoenix, and the First Qilin, engaged in a final battle, perishing together.
The Four-Unlikes then led the remaining members of the Qilin clan to live in seclusion in the Kunlun Mountains.
Later, Yuanshi Tianzun founded the Chan Sect, ascended to become a Heavenly Sage, and established the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain.
The Four-Faced Beast, residing in the Kunlun Mountains, became the mount of the Primordial Celestial Venerable.
As the direct descendant of the First Qilin, he became someone else's mount, and the Four-Faced Beast looks very much like the First Qilin.
In order to preserve some of the dignity of the original Qilin, he specially changed his appearance, which led to the later appearance of the Four Unlikes.
Si Bu Xiang was ultimately a powerful and capable being.
Although he was the mount of Yuanshi Tianzun, he also held a certain status.
For example, the mount Sibixiang, which was bestowed upon Jiang Ziya by the Primordial Celestial Venerable, was actually just an incarnation of the real Sibixiang.
The true form of the Four-Faced Beast remains in the Kunlun Mountains.
...
The Four-Faced Beast originally thought that it would remain in Kunlun Mountain as the mount of the Primordial Celestial Venerable.
But he didn't expect that when the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods began, a huge change would occur!
The once lofty and supreme Yuanshi Tianzun actually suffered a great setback in the mortal realm, where saints regarded him as an ant!
First, the incarnation of Yuanshi Tianzun was suppressed by Emperor Xin in Chaoge, the capital of the Shang Dynasty, which was a great loss of face.
Then, the true form of Yuanshi Tianzun was killed by Tongtian Jiaozhu!
With the fall of the four holy figures—Taishang Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, Jieyin Daoren, and Zhunti Daoren—the four unknowns knew that the lineage of Yuanshi Tianzun and Hongjun Laozu had lost its momentum.
The future of this primordial world belongs to the Great Shang!
Just as the Shang Dynasty was about to launch a military campaign against the prehistoric world, Lu Ya, the son of the Demon Emperor Jun, led the demon race to submit to the Shang Dynasty.
The four of them understood that they couldn't wait any longer!
He wanted to be like Lu Ya, leading the Qilin clan to submit to the Shang Dynasty!
