Chapter 1678: Cooperation Can Still Save Your Life

"Is the whole thing a plot designed by your God Clan behind the scenes? From constructing the Demon Cave, to feuding with the Haotu World, and up to now, it's all your God Clan's doing?"

The Demon Clan Old Ancestor looked at the God Clan Old Ancestor, his eyes full of anger, and questioned him.

From the very beginning, this was a scheme aimed at your Demon Clan, right? When the Demon Clan first opened those five Demon Caves, wasn't it all prearranged by someone?

Upon hearing that, the God Clan Old Ancestor also did not conceal anything; by now, there was no need to hide anything.

He let out a cold snort, the God Clan Old Ancestor turned his head to look at the Demon Clan Old Ancestor and said.

"Otherwise, do you think worldly affairs would be so coincidental? Your Demon Clan couldn't have feuded with just anyone; you had to pick the Haotu World. Moreover, you kept suffering setbacks there, ending up in this predicament."

"You...................."

Hearing this, the Demon Clan Old Ancestor gritted his teeth in anger, but since things had already come to this point, what would saying anything more accomplish?

Gritting his teeth, he looked at the God Clan Old Ancestor with unwillingness and asked in a low voice.

"Why the Haotu World?"

"This is not something you should know."

"Alright, then tell me now, what's the purpose of telling me all this? Are you taking the opportunity to exterminate my Demon Clan?"

The Demon Clan Old Ancestor didn't care about the God Clan Old Ancestor's refusal and continued to ask.

This time, the God Clan Old Ancestor spoke openly.

"Because I want to borrow your Demon Clan for a use."

"What do you mean?"

"Your Demon Clan is now in decline, barely able to protect itself; you might as well sacrifice yourself to accomplish my God Clan's great endeavor."

"Hahaha, after saying all that, you still want to attack my Demon Clan, but do you think that just because your God Clan hides an Ancestor Realm expert, you're guaranteed victory?"

Saying that, the Demon Clan Old Ancestor also glanced at the beautiful woman beside him.

The God Clan side has two Ancestor Realm experts, and their side likewise has two Ancestor Realm experts.

Even though the Demon Clan Old Ancestor is injured, it's not easy for the God Clan Old Ancestor and the beautiful woman to capture those two.

The Demon Clan Old Ancestor's battle spirit boiled over, yet the God Clan Old Ancestor merely gave a faint smile, his expression full of contempt.

At the same time, a voice sounded out of nowhere, hoarse like that of an old man on his deathbed.

Yet accompanying that voice, appearing on the deck, was a child who looked only seven or eight years old.

"What if I join in as well?"

Looking at this suddenly appearing child, the Demon Clan Old Ancestor's face instantly darkened, and he gritted his teeth.

"Heaven Clan Old Ancestor, are you also going to intervene?"

This fellow who looks like a seven- or eight-year-old child is likewise an Ancestor Realm existence, the Heaven Clan Old Ancestor.

And the Heaven Clan is also one of the top clans of the Zhu Tian Wan Jie, its strength not in the slightest inferior to that of the Demon Clan or the Nether Clan.

With the appearance of the Heaven Clan Old Ancestor, the Demon Clan Old Ancestor's eyes flashed with a hint of wariness.

Three against two leaves no chance of victory at all, even if he were at his peak.

As for the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor, he hadn't spoken a word from beginning to end, like a bystander coldly observing from the side.

However, at this moment, the God Clan Old Ancestor suddenly turned his gaze toward him and grinned.

"Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor, our target from the start has always been the Demon Clan; dragging your Human Emperor Palace into this is merely an accident."

"But this can't be blamed on me; after all, it's your Human Emperor Palace that brought this upon itself. If your Human Emperor Palace hadn't provoked the Dao Yi Shengdi in the first place, none of this would have happened."

Upon hearing the God Clan Old Ancestor's words, the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor's face remained expressionless, not knowing what he was thinking, merely silently gazing at the God Clan Old Ancestor.

Faced with the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor's gaze, the God Clan Old Ancestor didn't mind, a cold smile playing at the corner of his mouth as he continued speaking.

"Now that your Human Emperor Palace has suffered this great defeat, it too is tempest-tossed; setting aside the distant future, the position of Human Race hegemon is likely to be taken by someone else."

"Even if the best outcome occurs, it would merely be a balance of power."

"But given the current state of your Human Emperor Palace, can it still withstand a joint attack by the three powers?"

What the God Clan Old Ancestor said was fact; upon hearing it, the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor finally gave a response, coldly opening his mouth.

"What do you mean?"

"Simply, if we join forces, we can keep your Human Emperor Palace unharmed."

The God Clan Old Ancestor suddenly spoke of joining forces; upon saying that, the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor had not yet reacted, but the Demon Clan Old Ancestor gritted his teeth and shouted.

"God Clan old fiend, you.............."

But before the words were even out, the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor directly cut him off.

"Fine, I won't interfere in this matter."

There was hardly any hesitation, after all, this crushing defeat had already rendered the alliance between the Human Emperor Palace and the Demon Clan extremely fragile.

Moreover, the condition proposed by the God Clan Old Ancestor was something the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor could not refuse.

At present, for him, the most important thing is how to preserve the Human Emperor Palace; everything else is irrelevant.

Although we still don't know the ultimate purpose of the God Clan and Heaven Clan, for the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor right now, there really aren't many options.

As for whether the Demon Clan lives or dies, that's none of his concern; as the saying goes, 'When a fellow Daoist perishes, I do not.'

Upon hearing that, the Demon Clan Old Ancestor's eyes shot toward the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor, blazing with furious rage, as if he wanted to tear the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor apart alive.

Yet faced with the Demon Clan Old Ancestor's furious gaze, the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor simply chose to ignore it.

And seeing this, the God Clan Old Ancestor laughed.

"Not bad; they say your Human Emperor Palace, from top to bottom, is clever and knows when to advance or retreat, and indeed it lives up to its reputation."

This remark carries a strong tone of sarcasm, implying that while the Human Emperor Palace appears deferential to outsiders, within the Human Realm it acts high-handedly, wielding power arbitrarily.

But upon hearing this, the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor's face remained expressionless, with no intention of getting angry.

Seeing this, the God Clan Old Ancestor said with a playful smile.

"After a fierce battle, I imagine your Human Emperor Palace, top and bottom, are also tired; retreat to the side and rest first—we'll handle what comes next."

This remark clearly meant to let the Human Emperor Huánggōng Old Ancestor take the Human Emperor Huánggōng people and retreat, not to interfere in the Demon Clan's affairs.

Upon hearing this, the Human Emperor Huánggōng Old Ancestor nodded without hesitation.

"Good."

Immediately, ignoring the Demon Clan Old Ancestor's gaze that seemed to want to eat someone, the Human Emperor Huánggōng Old Ancestor directly left the Star Battleship.

At the same time, the Human Emperor Huánggōng powerhouses on the surrounding Star Battleships also piloted the Star Battleships to retreat far away.

As for the Demon Clan on the ship, they were directly driven off by them.

Seeing the Human Emperor Huánggōng Old Ancestor choose to defect without hesitation, the Demon Clan Old Ancestor also knew the outcome was settled; saying more would be useless.

Seeing the Human Emperor Huánggōng Old Ancestor choose to defect without hesitation, the Demon Clan Old Ancestor also knew the outcome was settled; saying more would be useless.

"Heh, I never imagined that one day my Demon Clan would fall to such a state, but with your God Clan's strength, there's no need to go through all this trouble to deal with my Demon Clan; a direct strike would suffice, and my Demon Clan couldn't withstand it."

Saying that, the Demon Clan Old Ancestor also glanced at the beautiful woman; the two Ancestor Realm existences were indeed not something the Demon Clan could match, and if she died, the Demon Clan would absolutely have no means to fight back.
