1176 Uniting All Powers That Can Be United (2)
“Understood.” Sun Gongping laughed. “Old Zhou, you underestimate us too much.
“We were so weak back then. Didn’t we also survive fighting the demonic beasts of the Demon Realm?
“Isn’t it just an enemy from beyond the heavens? So what if they’re strong? We’re not weak either!”
Sun Gongping said confidently, “If they dare to come, we’ll make them never return!”
The others were also full of fighting spirit.
So what if the enemy was strong?
Back then, when they were not even Earth Immortals, they were already facing the Demon Realm army.
At the time, Great Demons and Demon Kings were everywhere in the Demon Realm army.
At the time, they weren’t afraid. Now that they were all at the Grotto-Heaven realm, they wouldn’t be afraid either.
“It’s great that everyone thinks so,” Zhou Shu said.
“There’s no hurry now. The heavens have already been mended. If the other party wants to attack, it’s not something they can do in a short period of time.
“We just need to find and destroy the gigantic hand left behind by the enemy. This world can still have a few years of peace.”
“King Zhou, do you mean that the demonic beasts of our Demon Realm are all puppets of the enemy from beyond the heavens?” Yao Buqi looked flustered. This news had a tremendous impact on him.
He had always thought that the demonic beasts of the Demon Realm were controlled by the Heavenly Dao of this world.
But now, Zhou Shu actually said that the demonic beasts of the Demon Realm were equivalent to traitors of this world.
This shattered his worldview.
“Yes.” Zhou Shu nodded.
“Then, are you going to destroy all the demonic beasts in the Demon Realm in the end?” Yao Buqi asked.
“That won’t happen.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “The demonic beasts of the Demon Realm are enemies that can be won over.
“As long as they’re willing to change, they’ll still be a part of the living beings of this world.
“Look, the Qingqiu King is the Demon Ancestor, but she’s also Ji Lutian’s wife. Do you think the human race will kill her?
“And you and Hu Li are my friends. As long as you don’t betray the human race and this world, why should I kill you?
“Yao Qing is my disciple. It’s even more impossible for me to kill him.
“A real-life example, Emperor Xiang, is here. He abandoned the darkness and joined the light. Isn’t he still alive and well?”
Zhou Shu looked at Yao Buqi and continued, “Do you know why I want to help you unify the Demon Realm?
“It’s precisely because we want to resist the enemy that we have to unite all the forces we can.
“The demonic beasts are very powerful. If they can stand on our side, our chances of defeating the enemy will increase.”
Yao Buqi looked at Zhou Shu. After confirming that Zhou Shu wasn’t joking, he heaved a sigh of relief. “King Zhou, according to you, the demonic beasts of the Demon Realm have a mastermind behind them. He definitely won’t sit back and watch me unify the Demon Realm, right? My strength…”
Yao Buqi smiled bitterly.
His strength had never been top-notch. He relied on his brains.
But the enemy that Zhou Shu spoke of was definitely incomparably powerful.
How could an existence that even Zhou Shu was extremely afraid of be something he, Yao Buqi, could deal with?
“Your strength doesn’t matter,” Zhou Shu said.
“Hu Li will continue to help you, and I will get Emperor Xiang to help you. At the critical moment, the Demon Ancestor will also help.
“The hand of the enemy will definitely not sit back and do nothing. This is exactly what we want. What I want to do is to lure it out!”
A cold glint flashed across Zhou Shu’s eyes.
Ji Lutian and Bai Qianqian were fighting the gigantic hand, but Zhou Shu didn’t know where they were restraining it.
Even the Qingqiu King didn’t know.
Now, Zhou Shu could only think of a way to force the gigantic hand out. Only then would he have a chance of finding Ji Lutian and Bai Qianqian.
Since the gigantic hand was being restrained by Ji Lutian and Bai Qianqian, as long as it dared to split its strength to control demonic beasts, Zhou Shu could trace it back!
And in order for this to happen, it needed to see the danger of losing control of the Demon Realm!
This was one of the reasons Zhou Shu had brought Yao Buqi and Hu Li back.
But just Yao Buqi and Hu Li were not enough to overturn the Demon Realm. He needed to give them some support.
Yao Buqi pondered for a long time before saying, “I understand. Your Highness, don’t worry. I know what to do!
“But King Zhou, if it’s just me, Hu Li, and Emperor Xiang, I’m afraid it will be very difficult for us to complete your mission.”
Zhou Shu said, “Stay in front. I will support you from behind. You can have as many connate divine weapons as you want.
“If an expert you can’t deal with appears, I will take action.”
“Your Highness, may I ask something? With your current strength, it’s not a problem for you to sweep through the Demon Realm. Why don’t you just subdue the Demon Realm?” Yao Buqi couldn’t help asking curiously.
“I’ve just said it. If I just want to destroy the demonic beasts of the Demon Realm, then it’s naturally not a problem for me to attack. But we still have the enemy from beyond the heavens to deal with. The demonic beasts of the Demon Realm are a force we can win over.
“If I want them to become a force to resist the enemy, I naturally can’t start a massacre.
“You’re demonic beasts. Letting you unify the Demon Realm is the easiest way.”
Zhou Shu explained patiently. Since he wanted to use him, he naturally couldn’t let him have any doubts.
“In addition, Tang Tang is still in the Demon Realm. He can help you.”
Zhou Shu said, “What other questions do you have?”
“No more.” Yao Buqi was silent for a moment before saying, “I already understand. Don’t worry, King Zhou. I will definitely do my best in this matter.”
“It’s not about doing your best. It’s about making it work,” Zhou Shu said seriously.
“You have to remember that if you can’t unify the Demon Realm, then I can only destroy the demonic beasts of the Demon Realm.
“On your shoulder are the lives of all demonic beasts. As a demonic beast, do you want demonic beasts to disappear from the world?”
“I…” Yao Buqi immediately felt immense pressure.
The fate of all the demonic beasts in the world is in my hands?
Is King Zhou really not afraid of me failing?
Sighing in his heart, Yao Buqi cupped his hands at Zhou Shu. “I will do my best!”
“That’s enough!” Zhou Shu patted Yao Buqi on the shoulders.
“It’s not as difficult as you think.
“There are twelve Demon Emperors in the Demon Realm. You already have two here. Yao Qing even killed one before. As for the rest, as long as you join forces, they won’t be difficult to deal with.
“Don’t forget that you have our support.”
The current Demon Realm was indeed not much of a threat.
If not for the fact that Zhou Shu didn’t want to cause too many casualties, he could already sweep through the Demon Realm with his Grotto-Heaven Masters.
Not to mention anything else, including him, there were already eleven Grotto-Heaven Masters.
With such strength, it wouldn’t be a problem to destroy the demonic beasts of the Demon Realm.
But if they did that, the demonic beasts of the Demon Realm would definitely resist to the death.
At that time, the human race might suffer too much damage.
Dealing with the demonic beasts of the Demon Realm was not Zhou Shu’s goal. His goal was still the enemy from beyond the heavens.
Therefore, he didn’t plan to use brute force to deal with the Demon Realm.
The most cost-effective way was to make Yao Buqi unite the Demon Realm and turn the demonic beasts into a living force against the enemy from beyond the heavens.
“Zhou Shu, if the hand of the enemy appears, how confident are you in destroying it?” the Qingqiu King asked solemnly.
She had no objections to Zhou Shu’s arrangements, but she had to confirm how strong he was.
“I’m not confident.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “Back then, it escaped. It’s the same now. I don’t know how many trump cards the hand has.”
“I know,” the Qingqiu King said. “I know how to completely destroy the enemy, but I don’t know if you can do it!”
