Chapter 183 - 142: The Death of Qingcang, The Prosperity of the Human Race
Gu Wen did not know the situation outside of the heavens, but the division of the Immortal Land into separate domains for humans and demons indicated that their relationship was not good.
Humans and demons are different species; humans from different villages can come to blows, let alone a group of beasts clad in fur and scales?
In the Daqian Country, the curse is simply, "Son of a bitch." The opposition between humans and demons is almost inevitable. Otherwise, Gu Wen would have to marvel at how broad-minded the Cultivation World really is.
Yet tacitly allowing the Devil Clan to cross the border, he needed to clarify what this meant.
"If the Devil Clan normally crosses the border, what would happen?"
"Men stand proud between heaven and earth, while demons crawl and scrounge to survive, anyone may execute them on sight," Jun Yan answered, "and now the actions of the major sects are even more deserving of being cursed as heretical and deviant than our Demon Path."
Perhaps fearing that Gu Wen was not born outside the heavens, he added, "It’s like the Emperor Daqian passes away, and the Prince invites barbarians to help him vie for the throne."
Gu Wen understood, but the difference was that demons also needed to rely on humans because the most numerous and powerful large-scale animals in the Immortal Land were humans.
Other animals such as elephants, jackals, tigers, leopards, and so on couldn’t compare to the erect apes.
It’s widely known that barbarians beyond the borders form their tribes around shamans who worship gods and spirits; presumably, the demons also needed to depend on humans. So the crossing of the Devil Clan seemed more like an alliance than an act as treacherous as inviting the enemy into the gates.
