"Goddess, you have a good plan." Jun Yu's eyes narrowed. She had calculated that he would come to stir up trouble in the God Clan's territory, so she sent most of the divine soldiers to attack the Demon Clan's territory in advance.
No wonder there aren't many gods in this territory.
Fu Lizhi looked at Jun Yu, "Even if you can destroy our God Clan's territory, your Demon Clan will also suffer heavy losses."
"Whether the gods are severely injured or the demons are harmed, neither of us wants to see it. Moreover, when gods and demons fight, only innocent people of both races will suffer. Why not put aside our differences for now and make a deal?"
"What do you want to talk about?" Junyu asked.
"The gods shall withdraw their troops and return all the territories occupied by the demons, and the demons shall not invade the gods or initiate war." Fu Lizhi brandished her longsword.
A powerful sword aura ripped through the void, leaving a chasm on the ground.
"With this natural barrier as the boundary, the gods and demons will no longer invade each other. The gods and demons could coexist peacefully in the past, and I believe they can do it again now."
Jun Yu scoffed, "You people of the divine race still have the nerve to bring up things from ten thousand years ago. Ten thousand years ago, it was your divine race that broke its promise, tore up the alliance, and slaughtered tens of thousands of demons. I dare not believe your promises now."
Fu Lizhi frowned slightly. "The Demon Lord possesses unparalleled power, yet he cannot distort the truth. The annals of the God Clan clearly record that it was the Demon Clan who broke the agreement first and destroyed one of our God Clan's cities."
"Your divine race's annals can be recorded however you want."
"Then the Demon Lord's side of the story is also just that—one-sided. Right and wrong, black and white, will not yield any results if the two of us argue here."
"I only want to ask the Demon Lord one question: shall we continue this battle today? If the Demon Lord is unwilling to end the war, my God Clan will naturally accompany you to the end. At worst, we will both suffer heavy losses and let other forces benefit."
"However, what I just said about wishing that the gods and demons would no longer fight was also my true feeling. Demon Lord, you might as well think it through before answering me."
Jun Yu clenched his fist slightly. This goddess of the divine race was indeed fierce in temperament, and she was prepared to perish together with the enemy.
If the fighting continues, it might really result in mutual destruction, with neither the gods nor the demons gaining any advantage.
The demons belong to Ayan. Ayan trusts him and entrusted the demons to him. He cannot destroy the demons. When Ayan returns, he will return the demons to Ayan intact.
Besides, Ayan is still waiting for him, and he needs to go find her as soon as possible; he can't waste any more time here.
"If I remember correctly, the God Clan is under the control of that old codger Huan Yu. Although you have been named a goddess, you are just one of his many children. Can you make decisions for him?" Jun Yu's eyes were contemptuous.
Fu Lizhi was silent for a moment. She knew best what her father's attitude towards the demon race was.
This time, she defied her father's wishes, unilaterally made peace with the demons, and returned to the divine realm. She doesn't know how to explain this to her father.
However, a war between the gods and demons would only bring suffering to all living beings in the world, which she did not want to see, so she wanted to follow her heart and make a decision.
This was the first time in her memory that she had ever disobeyed her father.
Wait a minute? She seemed to have said that before, a fleeting fragment of memory flashed through her mind.
“Li Zhi, you have never disobeyed me. You are my most obedient child. Now you are disobeying me for a man.”
The moment those words echoed in her mind, her head throbbed with pain. What was going on? Had she forgotten something very important?
Something was forcibly erased from her mind, and Fu Lizhi's headache lessened, her complexion returned to normal.
“There’s no need for the Demon Lord to consider this. I will stake my life on it and do my utmost to persuade Father and facilitate this cooperation,” Fu Lizhi said.
"I will trust the goddess this once. If I find out that you have deceived me and the gods have broken their promise, I will fight them to the death, even if it means we both perish!"
After Jun Yu finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot.
Fu Lizhi fell from the sky, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth.
"Your Highness, you are injured!" The attendant immediately stepped forward to support her.
"No problem. Issue this order: all gods shall cease their attack and retreat to the north of the Heavenly Barrier," Fu Lizhi commanded.
"yes."
Fu Lizhi gazed at the dark night sky, hoping that the warring races of gods and demons could once again usher in a precious peace.
The next day.
Ruan Xiyan and Lan Wang embarked on their journey to the demon realm.
The Demon Realm and the Ethereal Realm, where the demon race lives, are not very far apart.
They traveled at full speed and arrived at the demon realm, the demon territory, in just three days.
Following Lan Wang, Ruan Xiyan entered the Demon Realm smoothly without encountering any obstacles.
Along the way, they would occasionally encounter patrolling demon guards, who would all bow to Lan Wang upon seeing him.
Lan Wang nodded in acknowledgment and continued talking to Ruan Xiyan beside him, "Miss Ruan, my brother has a rather serious and rigid personality, and sometimes he can even be a bit eccentric."
"If I accidentally said anything unpleasant, I apologize on his behalf."
Just as Lan Wang finished speaking, a reprimanding voice came from afar, "So you know how to come back!"
A man who looked somewhat like Lan Wang walked over from the front. The man had a strong and imposing aura, which was completely different from Lan Wang's dashing youthful spirit.
"Brother." When Lan Wang saw Lan Zhou, he greeted him obediently, like a mouse seeing a cat.
"I put you in the Demon Fire Altar to cultivate, but all you do all day is run outside."
"Brother, I didn't go sightseeing. I went to find someone to fight. If you don't believe me, look, my strength has improved." Lan Wang displayed his strength.
Seeing Lan Wang's strength, Lan Zhou's expression softened somewhat.
When he saw Ruan Xiyan next to Lan Wang, he asked, "And who is this?"
"Brother, let me introduce you. This is Miss Ruan. She has just ascended to the Nine Provinces Continent and is also a friend of mine."
Lan Zhou glanced at Ruan Xiyan and said, "A person who has ascended to immortality."
"The spiritual energy on other lower-level continents is not as abundant as that on the Nine Provinces Continent. To be able to reach the Great Perfection of the Immortal Saint Realm at such a young age and come to the Nine Provinces Continent shows that one has good talent."
"Since you are an ascended being, you can remain in the Yaoling Realm. I wonder why Miss Ruan has come to my Demon Realm."
Before Ruan Xiyan could answer, Lan Wang explained, "Brother, Miss Ruan needs the Xuanzhi buds from the Nine Nether Mystic Tree to save someone, so I brought her to the Demon Clan."
"Anyway, the Xuanzhi sprouts on the Nine Nether Xuan Tree will continue to grow, so brother, please give Miss Ruan a Xuanzhi sprout."
"Do you think Xuanzhiya is some kind of common cabbage? As a member of the demon race, and the young master of the demon race, don't you know how important Xuanzhiya is to our demon race!" Lan Zhou shouted angrily.
