Chapter 129: Caste System
Although the nine major levels of the Demon Continent could be considered a system of power, they also served as the caste levels in the eyes of all living beings on the Demon Continent. Those of low caste would be erased directly from the Demon Continent itself.
Among all the living beings living on the Demon Continent, the Imp race was the only inferior race in the eyes of all living beings living there. However, there had never been any history of the Imp race possessing either a high-level caste or a middle-level caste on the Demon Continent.
Three of the races with the highest caste on the Demon Continent were the Vampire race, the Undead race, and the Demon race itself. But the three races did not have a harmonious relationship at all, unlike those on the Life Continent and the Spirit Continent.
It’s just that the races leading the Demon Continent were none other than the Vampire race and the Undead race. Currently, the Demon race was the weakest race on the Demon Continent. After all, the glory of the Demon race had completely come to an end after the war that lasted for hundreds of thousands of years.
There was no longer such a thing as the Demon race’s dominance in the eyes of all living beings throughout the world. The arrogant and disgusting attitude of the Demon race was one of the reasons why its dominance had been destroyed in the eyes of all living beings throughout the world. Although there was still a small portion of the Demon race that managed to survive after the war that lasted for hundreds of thousands of years.
The demons who survived were those who had lived in the Demon Empire, which had now been destroyed for hundreds of thousands of years. Even though the surviving demons possessed pure demon bloodlines, they were all weak demons who simply were not worth fighting over for either the vampires or the undead.
Every ten years, the position of Demon Emperor would be replaced by a member of either the Undead race or the Vampire race. Only the strongest could become the leader of all living beings on the Demon Continent. Therefore, weak beings like the Demon race were only regarded as labour for the two superior races.
In the end, the Demon race was still one of the strongest races among the seven major races throughout the world. But with the Demon race’s population being so small, they had no chance of dominating the leadership of the Demon Continent. For that reason, it was not strange that the Vampire race and the Undead race could suppress the position of the Demon race on the Demon Continent at any time.
The strongest beings of the Demon race were only between the Demon Emperor stage and the Demon Origin stage. For some reason, every living being of the Demon race decided to submit to the orders of both the Vampire race and the Undead race.
All of this was also because the population of the Demon race was only around tens of millions. Most of the Demon race’s population consisted of women. Among the men of the Demon race, the majority had been completely used as war troops by the Vampire race and the Undead race.
It was not strange that the men of the Demon race numbered only around hundreds of thousands. In the end, the women living in Demon City were unable to find partners for the rest of their lives. Therefore, it was not strange that the Vampire race and the Undead race decided to use the men of the Demon race as their war troops.
Allowing the men of the Demon race to live together with the women of the Demon race was no different from bringing destruction upon all living beings living within the Demon Continent. If it were not for the Demon race’s population being only around tens of millions, they would not have been defeated by the two races known as the Vampire race and the Undead race.
"I still have to think about it first. I still can’t forget the trauma I experienced in the past. I’m afraid that when I become strong..."
A pat on the head could be felt on top of Liz’s head. Staring at Rossweisse, who was now showing her a gentle smile, Liz couldn’t hold back the sadness on her face after remembering the time when she had been tortured by her fellow species.
The thing Liz feared most now was training to become stronger than anyone else. Most of the fear Liz felt now came directly from her fellow species. Therefore, Liz absolutely did not want to train to become stronger than anyone else.
Living an inconspicuous life was one of Liz’s goals for continuing to live in this world. But Liz also realised her own weakness when she fought against Lucien before. At first, Liz underestimated Lucien as a weak man, but she couldn’t hold back her expression of disbelief after witnessing Lucien’s true strength.
The development of Lucien’s power made Liz unable to completely control the jealousy that was endlessly surging within her heart. As Elize’s personal mount, Liz considered her master to be the only family she could trust for the rest of her life.
After her master found a lover to accompany her, Liz noticed a change in her master’s attitude that was completely different from how she had been in the past. Liz even thought of her master as a foolish woman who had been manipulated by a man like Lucien because of love.
"Try to forget the times when you suffered for so long. You are now my disciple’s personal mount. You should at least make your master proud that you can become a good and disciplined beast."
"I..."
In fact, a small part of Liz truly wanted to train to become stronger in order to protect Elize. But deep inside, Liz was afraid that she would make Elize feel immense jealousy towards the growth of her strength.
"Are you worried that your master will feel jealous of your growth? Don’t forget that she currently has a man whom she can rely on at any time. Moreover, that man will always accompany your master until she can improve her own strength."
There was no expression on Liz’s face other than doubt. Every word Rossweisse said was true in Liz’s eyes. However, her master’s current progress compared to six months ago was like heaven and earth.
Liz also knew that Lucien was one of the reasons why her master could improve her cultivation much faster than the average living being. After witnessing how her master managed to break through to the Dragon Emperor stage, Liz thought that she had become a useless mount in Elize’s eyes.
But Elize had never once thought of Liz as a useless mount. On the contrary, Elize considered Liz to be one of her family members who had accompanied her since she was young.
Back when Elize trained alone under Rossweisse’s guidance, Liz was the only being who always stayed by Elize’s side. In fact, the relationship between Elize and Liz was more like that of sisters.
