Chapter 290

Once an excuse appeared, whether it was the Three Pure Ones or the Heavenly Court, they would be the first to strike at the remnants of the Demon Race.

Especially Haotian, who had returned from his cycle of reincarnation; he was ambitious, and his methods had become much more terrifying.

With only the three Demon Sages including Bai Ze, they might not be able to hold on.

"Empress, after the Heavenly Court's Haotian returned from his cycle of reincarnation, in just a short time, the momentum of the Heavenly Court has become vastly different from before."

"Moreover, Haotian's methods have become increasingly devious."

"In particular, he has actually set his sights on our Demon Race."

"Subduing demons and eliminating evil has become the Heavenly Court's biggest slogan to the outside world."

"Now, countless sects and forces in the Primordial World seem to have the intention to respond to such a slogan."

"It is no longer just the Heavenly Court; many other orthodox forces in the Primordial World have also participated in it."

"The Demon Race has become the target for all major forces to shout for their destruction."

"If this continues, I fear the Demon Race will be in danger!"

"I wonder, Empress, can you save our Demon Race?"

Bai Ze's face showed sorrow; with the fall of Di Jun and Tai Yi, the days of the Demon Race were becoming harder by the day.

Empress Nuwa had always been relatively hands-off.

As for the other Demon Master, Kunpeng, he had betrayed the Demon Emperor during the great war, indirectly causing the Demon Emperor's fall.

The Demon Race hated this person to the bone.

How could they seek help from him?

The former Xi Emperor, now reincarnated as a human, had become the Human Emperor and had long since severed his karma with the Demon Race.

That he did not continue to target the Demon Race was already out of respect for the past.

How could he take the initiative to help?

One must know that back then, the Demon Race had refined the Demon-Slaughtering Sword and slaughtered the human race on a massive scale.

This made it impossible for there to be any room for reconciliation between the human race and the demon race.

It was this monstrous karma that forged the phenomenon of the human race slaughtering demons.

Moreover, this kind of karma was deeply rooted in the bloodline and would be passed down permanently among the human race.

No one could stop it.

Who told the former Demon Race to commit so many sins!

Naturally, they should taste the bitter fruit that followed.

"Oh? Bai Ze, what do you wish for me to do?"

Nuwa said with a calm expression.

"Empress, it seems the Heavenly Court's Haotian is currently looking for a candidate for one of the Four Royals, the Great Emperor Gouchen!"

"Hehe, Bai Ze, could it be that you have designs on the position of Great Emperor Gouchen?"

Nuwa smiled without smiling, a trace of mockery curling at the corner of her mouth.

He really did not know his current position.

The Heavenly Court was the orthodoxy of Heaven and Earth, and the Four Royals were of the utmost importance.

Whether it was the Three Pure Ones or Haotian, it was impossible for them to let the Demon Race touch the positions of the Four Royals of the Heavenly Court.

Especially the Great Emperor Gouchen.

This position was responsible for the military affairs of the Heavenly Court.

Subduing demons and eliminating evil was absolutely the core.

Bai Ze was a Demon Sage of the Demon Race; could it be that he was to be sent to conquer the Demon Race?

Did he think the Three Pure Ones and Haotian would believe that?

"Empress is joking, Bai Ze knows he has no affinity with this honorable position!"

"It is just, could the Empress choose someone favorable to the Demon Race to sit in this honorable position?"

"After all, Great Emperor Gouchen is destined to have immense karma with our Demon Race; if he harbors deep malice, it will be a great disaster for the Demon Race."

"Conversely, if he is inclined towards the Demon Race, he could also extend a glimmer of life for our Demon Race..."

Nuwa heard this and remained silent for a long time:

"Bai Ze, you go back first; I need to think carefully about who is suitable!"

"Many thanks, Empress!"

Bai Ze's face showed joy, and then, without disturbing her further, he took his leave.

And Nuwa was also full of conflict.

Great Emperor Gouchen was responsible for the wars of the Heavenly Court.

He presided over slaughter, and there would definitely be no lack of killing.

And in the future, those who became the thorns in the side of the Heavenly Court would likely be demons and devils!

As of now, the threat of the Demon Race to the Heavenly Court was even heavier than that of the devils.

Once Great Emperor Gouchen took his position, the first to bear the brunt would be the Demon Race.

This was absolute karma.

Even if he were inclined towards the Demon Race, as long as he sat in this position, it would be impossible to have peace.

Slaughter would be indispensable.

As time passed, the karma between the two sides would accumulate deeper and deeper.

Perhaps at the beginning, Great Emperor Gouchen would show mercy.

But if the casualties under his command became heavier and heavier, that inclination would also fade away.

By then, he would instead transform into the one with the deepest resentment.

It was only a matter of time.

Sigh, one could only blame Di Jun and Tai Yi for being too capable of causing trouble back then.

The karma and karmic debt gathered were far too much.

Now, it had implicated the descendants of the Demon Race.

Perhaps the surviving Great Demons could continue to linger on.

But the new generation of the Demon Race would definitely be implicated.

In the future, the entanglement between the Heavenly Court and the Demon Race was destined to become deeper and deeper.

"Forget it, it is better to solve the immediate problem first!"

Future matters can be discussed in the future!

Nuwa then took out a jade talisman and threw it; instantly, the jade talisman turned into a stream of light and escaped to a certain place in the Primordial World.

Several years later.

A figure exuding an astonishing aura slowly stepped into the Wa Palace.

"This poor Daoist, Lei Ze, pays respects to Empress Nuwa. I do not know why the Empress summoned me here with a jade talisman?"

Indeed, the person who came was one of the mighty powerhouses of the Primordial World.

A top-tier innate divine spirit, Lei Ze.

A former guest of the Zixiao Palace.

Back then, his elder brother Fuxi successfully descended to the human race also because he had obtained a trace of good fortune from Lei Ze.

Therefore, Nuwa's attitude towards Lei Ze was quite favorable.

"Lei Ze, are you willing to take on the position of one of the Four Royals of the Heavenly Court, Great Emperor Gouchen?"

Nuwa got straight to the point and asked directly.

There was not a single word of nonsense.

"Great Emperor Gouchen?"

Lei Ze showed an expression of surprise.

What kind of joke was this? He was at least a top-tier mighty figure of the Primordial World, a Quasi-Saint mid-stage powerhouse.

He could completely cultivate the Dao in freedom and ease.

Why run to the Heavenly Court, a place of tangled karma?

If something went wrong and he provoked endless right and wrong, affecting his path to the Dao, that would be troublesome.

Moreover, he also knew that the karma of Great Emperor Gouchen was definitely not small.

Once provoked, he would never be able to shake it off.
