Chapter 951: The Demon Race, Must Be Destroyed!
The Demon Race moved very quickly.
That very day, Lu Ya held a massive altar ceremony at the Demon Court and even enabled a live broadcast.
In less than half an hour, the number of online viewers in the broadcast room exceeded one hundred billion.
Everyone was curious about what the Demon Race was planning to do.
Standing on the altar, Lu Ya first read a sacrificial text, then announced with a solemn expression: "From this day forward, the Demon Court establishes the Saint Emperor Hall, honoring the Saint Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun as Saint Emperors, and simultaneously revoking the title of Demon Emperor of the Demon Race from Lady Nuwa."
Boom!
Lu Ya's words left countless people in Honghuang dazed.
Then, Honghuang erupted.
"Holy crap, Lu Ya is badass. He actually dares to strip Lady Nuwa of her title as Demon Emperor of the Demon Race. This is basically expelling Lady Nuwa from the demon registry!"
"The Demon Race is changing their allegiance; they've latched onto Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun."
"Although Lu Ya's announcement is shocking, it is within expectations. Lady Nuwa has already shown a tendency to favor the Human Race; if the Demon Race wants to return to the Primordial Continent, they certainly can no longer rely on Lady Nuwa. Since both Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun hate Di Qi and are natural allies of the Demon Race, his change of allegiance is reasonable."
"How could it be like this? Why would the Heavenly Emperor want to revoke Lady Nuwa's title and status?"
Wahuang Heaven.
"Lu Ya!"
Nuwa let out a low shout, her phoenix eyes filled with malice.
"And Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, you are good, you are very good indeed!"
Although Lu Ya's announcement was very tactful, using "revoking the title" to express it, in essence, it was no different from when Di Qi previously announced the stripping of Laozi's position as Human Teachings Sect Leader.
Since the birth of her consciousness, when had she ever suffered such great humiliation!
If it were not for the fact that she could not personally descend to Honghuang, she would have wanted to strike down with a single palm and erase the entire outer-heaven continent.
Beyond her fury, Nuwa also felt a chill in her heart.
All along, she had strongly supported the Demon Race and considered herself the Saint Emperor of the Demon Race, even though she knew Lu Ya and the others were guarding against her—not to mention the former Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi.
But after millions of years, no matter how much they guarded against her, there should have been some sentiment.
Yet Lu Ya abolished her just like that, completely disregarding any shred of sentiment from millions of years, and even ignoring that he had come to Wahuang Heaven not long ago, cautiously begging her.
"The Demon Race, must be destroyed!"
Nuwa whispered, cold light flashing in her eyes.
She was originally a petty person; back when Di Qi was bewitched and wrote a lewd poem to defile her, she had tried every possible means to make Di Qi's kingdom collapse and his family perish.
Let alone this time, when she was pressed to the ground and humiliated by Lu Ya.
If she did not avenge this, would she still be Nuwa?
However, with Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun backing them, she could not directly attack the Demon Race and Lu Ya, and could only make use of Di Qi and the Human Race.
Thinking of this, she suddenly found the Human Race to be truly good.
She had treated the Human Race so poorly, yet the Human Race still honored her as the Saint Mother, and Di Qi even wanted to build a grand Nuwa Temple for her.
Unlike the Demon Race, who only care about whoever feeds them, without a shred of sentiment to speak of.
"Yin Lang has various Spiritual Roots and Immortal Seeds in his Inner Heaven and Earth, so he is not lacking in alchemy materials, but he is likely very short on artifact refining materials, especially the top-tier ones."
Thinking of this, she put all the high-level materials she possessed into a Space Ring.
This way, she could both take revenge on Lu Ya and openly help her lover.
Nuwa called for the Biyun Child and said: "Deliver this Space Ring to Di Qi, and say it is a gift from me to congratulate him on becoming the Ninth Co-Lord."
The Biyun Child nodded hurriedly: "Yes, My Lady."
"Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun, they truly have good methods!"
Jieyin, Zhunti, Tongtian, Haotian, Zhenyuanzi, and others praised one after another; with their wisdom, they could naturally guess the cause and effect of the alliance between Lu Ya, Laozi, and Yuanshi Tianzun.
While praising, they were also secretly vigilant.
With the help of Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun, the Demon Race might really return to the Primordial Continent....
After the announcement, the altar ceremony concluded.
Soon, the Demon Court issued over a dozen more announcements, encouraging the Demon Race to go and listen to the teachings of Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun, and stating that all other sects were obstacles to the Demon Race's return to the Primordial Continent, and so on.
Among them, the one with the deepest impact was the announcement of opening the Scripture Library, which made countless members of the Demon Race excited.
Besides this, the Demon Court also released an announcement "exposing" Di Qi's sinister intentions, claiming that the Heavenly Dao Network and Mobile Phone were both secretly controlled by Di Qi, and that the other party could steal everyone's secrets from the Mobile Phone.
Finally, they called on everyone to stop using Mobile Phones.
If it were at any other time, this announcement might have caused a huge uproar.
But with the Demon Race honoring Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun as Saint Emperors and the prior abolition of Lady Nuwa's demon registry, this kind of announcement, which clearly carried the intent of "throwing mud," naturally could not cause any sensation.
They did not understand the network, let alone the Mobile Phone, so they naturally did not know about things like information leakage.
Not long after Lu Ya's sacrifice to Heaven ended, Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun both issued Talisman Edicts, ordering all their disciples and followers in the Resource Heavenly Court army to return.

As for the disciples and followers on the Investiture of the Gods, there was no need to notify them for the time being.
With the disciples and followers of the Ren Sect and Chan Sect withdrawing in an emergency, Haotian was naturally both shocked and angry, meaning that from now on, not only could he not rely on Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun, but he also had to guard against them.
After all, their goals had previously been consistent, and none of them allowed the Demon Race to return to the Primordial Continent.
But now that Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun had actually become the Saint Emperors of the Demon Race, if the Demon army attacked in the future, they would likely take action.
"No, I must find allies too."
Haotian was anxious.
The first person he thought of was Yin Qi.
Firstly, they had a father-in-law and son-in-law relationship, so some matters were easier to discuss;
secondly, the Human Race and the Demon Race were mortal enemies, and Yin Qi would never allow the Demon Race to return to the Primordial Continent.
Additionally, there was Nuwa.
She had been schemed against by Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun and humiliated by the Demon Race, making her a natural ally as well.
With him, Yaochi Jinmu, Nuwa, and Yin Qi, these four were enough to steadily suppress Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun.
Thus, he sought out Yaochi Jinmu to discuss it.
Yaochi Jinmu naturally nodded and said, "Let's do this: this matter should be handled sooner rather than later. I will go to Wa Palace, and you shall personally make a trip to Zhaoge to see Di Qi, and while you are at it, check on Longji and Xiaozhou."
"Good!"
Haotian nodded.
………
These past two days, major events had occurred one after another.
First, Yin Qi stripped Laozi of his position as the Human Teachings Sect Leader and joined forces with Nuwa to fiercely battle Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun;
then, the various Sages and Quasi-Sages announced they would live-stream their preaching for ten years;
immediately following that, the Demon Race held a sacrificial ceremony where Lu Ya honored Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun as Saint Emperors and revoked the Demon status of Lady Nuwa—it was truly spectacular and dazzling, leaving people unable to keep up.
Everyone felt a sense that a storm was coming.
……
At this moment, Yin Qi was receiving guests from all sides.
Buddhism, Nuwa, Zhenyuanzi, Minghe Laozu, the Queen Mother of the West, the various Dragon-Phoenix-Qilin clans, and others—any faction at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level or above sent people to offer congratulations, congratulating Yin Qi on becoming the Ninth Co-Lord of the Human Race.
Although, Yin Qi had long since declared himself the Human Sovereign.
With combat power comparable to a Peak Quasi-Saint, coupled with the support of Nuwa, the Human Race had leaped to become a top-tier clan of the Primordial Continent.
They naturally had to treat them with caution.
At least for the time being, they had no direct conflict with the Human Race, so the superficial courtesies certainly could not be neglected. (End of this chapter)
