Chapter 769 - 559 Guiding the Emperor to Be Against the World
The Southern Zen Region is a land of sheer mountains and barren soil, comprising numerous small nations and abundant with monsters, as described in the scriptures from the Dragon Tiger Mountain Scripture Pavilion.
The Eastern Polar Continent is separated from the Southern Zen by a vast ocean, distantly apart such that even a Daluo Golden Immortal would need three to four hours to traverse.
However, with the power of the Sea God, Duge had no such trouble. After confirming the direction to the Southern Zen Region, he wielded the Sea God’s Power and, along with Emperor Donghua, set foot in the territory of Southern Zen Region within two hours.
Standing on the coastline, Duge looked back over the boundless sea and asked, "Emperor Donghua, who rules over the Four Seas?"
The first Divine Power he had acquired was the Sea God’s Power, with which he felt a natural affinity. During the two hours journey through the sea, the Sea God’s Power increased significantly, transforming through his Nascent Soul into his unique Divine Power.
Emperor Donghua said, "In name, the Four Seas are governed by the Water Official Great Emperor, who resides in the Heavenly Court. The Four Seas are managed by four Water Division Starlords.
However, the waters are filled with demons, and the Demon Clan is not controlled by the Heavenly Court. The Water Division Starlords, having titles without power, dare not lightly start conflicts with the water demons and usually cultivate in the Heavenly Court. Thus, effectively, the Four Seas belong to the Demon Emperor."
"Belong to the Demon Emperor?" Duge pondered. The structure of the world was different from the myths of Earth. With a Demon Emperor whose strength matched that of an Immortal Emperor, the Immortal Emperor did not fully control the mortal realm...
Dragon-phoenix catastrophe, Witch Monster conflict, and the Chaos of Blood Ancestor—these three disasters usually ended with one side completely annihilated.
With so many disasters, the Demon Clan had endured at least two of them, and even in the absence of the rich Spiritual Energy from the Immortal Realm, they had resiliently survived, proving their strength.
To confront the Heavenly Court, forming an alliance with the Demon Clan was inevitable.
"Senior, the Southern Zen Region is the origin of many demons, including states such as Qingqiu, San Shou, and the Featherfolk," Emperor Donghua said. "After the battle between immortals and demons, many Great Demon Monsters retreated to the Southern Zen Region to recuperate and breed. The main duty of the Longevity Emperor is to guard against the demons to prevent them from causing turmoil.
