Chapter 880: Peace Talks
The appearance of Caiyi drew varied expressions from the human Eminent Ones in the hall. Yet, even the most hardline advocates of war showed no signs of murderous intent toward her. They all understood that none of the other demons mattered. The only one who could tip the balance was the Demon God.
"Peace talks..." the emperor muttered, falling into deep thought. Then he turned to the Imperial Supervisory Commissioner.
The Imperial Supervisory Commissioner immediately spoke in a loud, clear voice. "Demon King of the Verdant Foxhills, since you have come all this way, you must already have a proposal in mind. Why don't you tell us about it first?"
"Very well," Caiyi replied.
She stepped further into the hall and stopped at the center, where she proceeded to explain the demons' proposal.
"Throughout history, every Hallowed One who emerged in the world became the ruler of their era. The only exception was our god, the Demon God. During his reign three thousand years ago, he was never acknowledged by the humans."
No one interrupted her opening remarks.
After all, it was true that throughout history, every being that reached the ninth realm became the supreme sovereign of their era, and none could oppose them. The Demon God was the only Hallowed One who had faced intense resistance from the humans, and in the end, he was successfully subdued.
The reason the humans succeeded wasn't because the Demon God had been weaker than the previous Hallowed Ones from ancient times. It was because the human cultivators had been incredibly powerful during the Demon God's era.
Since the era of Hallowed Li, no human had managed to ascend to the peak of cultivation. Nevertheless, the strength of the human cultivators as a whole had only continued to climb.
It made sense. After all, their divine skills and spells, cultivation arts manuals, utilization of resources, and cultivation of young talents had all improved steadily, becoming more systematic with time. In fact, it would be illogical for them to be inferior to the human cultivators of the past.
