838 Playing Them Off Against Themselves, Divergence (1)

“Mr. Ji, peace has always come from war. If we blindly seek peace, we will only be disappointed,” Zhou Shu said solemnly. “My idea is to play them off against themselves.”

“Play them off against themselves?” Ji Lutian frowned slightly.

“Using demonic beasts to deal with demonic beasts,” Zhou Shu explained. “If I help Yao Yi and the others forge connate bloodline divine weapons so that they are not controlled by heavenly slaves, then I hope that they can gather the demonic beasts that have regained consciousness and completely eliminate those stubborn demonic beasts.

“Mr. Ji, if you can guarantee that they do this, then I agree to help you.”

“I can’t make the decision for Yao Yi and the others. You can talk to them yourself,” Ji Lutian said.

At this moment, Yao Yi stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said seriously, “We meet again. I still don’t know how to address you.”

Yao Yi’s expression was as steady as ever.

“You can call me Zhou Shu.”

“Lord Zhou.” Yao Yi nodded and called out a name that made Zhou Shu feel a little strange.

“Teacher once told us that humans and demonic beasts could coexist one day. We’ve been working toward this goal.

“For this, we are not afraid of sacrifices. If demonic beasts block our path, we will eliminate them. But at the same time, we don’t want humans to kill us demonic beasts wantonly.”

“I can’t guarantee you that. All I can say is that the human race will also work hard in this direction. As for the final outcome, we can only take it one step at a time,” Zhou Shu said. “Actually, the demonic beasts have the upper hand now.

“Without intelligence, how can they still be considered demonic beasts? They can only be considered wild beasts,” Yao Yi said. “I don’t think destroying the human race will be a good thing for demonic beasts.”

Zhou Shu looked at Yao Yi in surprise. Yao Yi had thought this through clearly.

The hunting dogs were useless once the cunning rabbit died. This was an irrefutable truth.

Heaven was using demonic beasts to destroy the human race. After the human race was destroyed, demonic beasts would probably become the target of Heaven.

After all, demonic beasts could also cultivate. If they cultivated to the Demon King realm, which was equivalent to the Grotto-Heaven realm of the human race, they would also pose a threat to Heaven.

Unfortunately, not many Demon Kings in the Demon Realm could understand such obvious logic.

They were even worse than Yao Yi, who was just a first-rank martial artist!

Zhou Shu pondered for a moment before saying, “Alright, since we agree for the time being, I’ll help you.”

…

Outside the Demon Subduing Pagoda, the second line of defense…

There was a wall that stretched for countless kilometers.

If Zhou Shu saw this scene, he would definitely feel that the Great Wall in his previous life was nothing compared to it.

This wall that stretched for countless kilometers was tall and majestic. Moreover, it had been built in less than a month. The strength of the grotto-heavens was evident.

But even this wall seemed so fragile under the overwhelming demonic beast tide.

At this moment, Zhang Jiping, Zheng Chengan, Tang Qianluo, and the others, as well as the emperors of the various nations and all the human armies, were standing on the wall, looking at the endless beast army in front of them.

Everyone’s hearts were heavy.

Even though everyone had been prepared before the war, after witnessing the endless flow of demonic beasts, everyone knew what despair was.

“Why is the demonic beasts’ attack so ferocious this time?” Zheng Chengan frowned. “According to the records, the demonic beasts didn’t attack so ferociously during the past few heavenly cracks.”

In the history of the human race, this wasn’t the first time a heavenly crack had happened. It was recorded in the grotto-heavens’ legacies that the human race had always been the final winner, although it hadn’t been easy to win. But in the situation they were facing now, the human race had no chance of winning at all.

Had the past heavenly cracks been the same as now, Zheng Chengan believed that even the seniors of their grotto-heavens wouldn’t have been able to win.

There were too many demonic beasts.

“There’s no point in dwelling on this now.” Zhang Jiping shook his head. “This time, the demonic beasts came faster and more ferociously than recorded. Judging from the current situation, we can only choose to retreat to the grotto-heavens.

“Everyone, choose. Who will be in charge of the citizens of which nation?”

Zhang Jiping’s gaze swept across the leaders of the grotto-heavens.

According to their original plan, when the grotto-heavens appeared, they would open their doors to recruit disciples. After training them for a period of time, they would be able to resist the demonic beasts.

According to past experience, they should have had the time.

But this time, the heavenly crack came too quickly and didn’t give them any time.

“Even if we retreat to the grotto-heavens, are you sure we can defend them?” Tang Qianluo said coldly. “The grotto-heavens are not omnipotent. According to the strength of the demonic beasts this time, it won’t be a problem for them to break through the grotto-heavens.

“Now, we should find Zhou Shu and ask him to hand over the method to wake these crazy demonic beasts up. As long as we can wake them up, they won’t be so fearless, and we can even negotiate with them.”

Tang Qianluo’s gaze landed on Meng Bai and the others.

Emperor Yuan Feng was seriously injured and had been brought to the Two Region Mountain by Zhou Shu. Now, Meng Bai was representing Emperor Yuan Feng in this discussion.

Meng Bai was expressionless. He hadn’t forgotten that Tang Qianluo had framed them for colluding with the Demon Realm.

They hadn’t even settled this score, but now he wanted to instigate everyone to find trouble with Zhou Shu!
