Chapter 1143 -s 1092-1093 - Wind Will Rise
Merits and the Divine Position of Longevity were the most focused issues in the Great Ming World among the human race. All cultivators who had a chance to compete for the Divine Position were working hard for it.
In pursuit of the Divine Position of Longevity and to win merits, these two former rivals could set aside their differences and cooperate, which shows how great the temptation was.
The Pestilence Venerable had secluded himself to cultivate divine abilities, specifically to be able to face a stronger Demon King so that he could accumulate more merits and advance his rank further, competing for the True God Position.
Who could have thought that in just a short period of seclusion, his Taoist Friend, who had been at the same level, had already taken a step further? How could this not make him anxious?
Time waits for no one! This thought naturally emerged in the mind of the Pestilence Venerable at this moment.
The competition for the Divine Position was extremely fierce; those competitors would not stop and wait for him just because he was in seclusion. They would only seize the opportunity to surpass their opponents.
So, at this moment, he also did not want to engage in pleasantries nor say anything else, but only wanted to act immediately, to hunt down strong members of the Demon Race and seize merits to make up for the time lost in his cultivation.
Although various commanders had said that they did not allow individuals to initiate battles and stir up major conflicts, this prohibition was somewhat nominal.
For the human race, which recognized only victory, initiating a move was acceptable as long as it could lead to victory. Then they would not be blamed, nor would they be punished.
On the contrary, even if the Demon Race took the initiative to invade and the defense was passive, if one failed, one would still have to face questioning and punishment.
In summary, only the victors were beyond reproach. Even if there were some procedural issues, they would not be dwelt upon, which is why the human race could maintain such an aggressive attitude.
For most cultivators, this prohibition was nominal. They believed that as long as they could achieve victory, they would not have to worry about punishment.
Sure enough, after hearing the words of the Pestilence Venerable, the Venerable Withered Wood did not think there was anything wrong with his idea. Instead, he actively said, "It’s a coincidence that I’ve just received a message. The Mo Family Four Brothers are preparing to attack a tribe of the Demon Race and are gathering allies. We can join them."
