Balance is incredibly difficult to maintain, but breaking it is effortless.
The delicate balance between the human race and the Demon Race had been tediously upheld for thousands of years, yet it shattered in a single night, beyond any hope of retrieval.
Since the Demon Race's border was breached and their powerhouses fell, losing their Qi Luck, they naturally sought to reclaim what had originally been theirs.
Meanwhile, the human race had gained substantial interest, and as the immediate beneficiaries in a position of advantage, they were unwilling to cede anything, creating an irreconcilable existence.
Even with True Immortals ruling Heaven and Earth, as True Immortals, they had to represent the interests of their respective tribes and could not go against the tide, for doing so would inevitably lead to losing support and facing abandonment.
And as True Immortals of the human race, they were also the greatest beneficiaries of this racial conflict, the War of Sealing Gods, gaining even more than ordinary cultivators. How could they compromise for the Demon Race?
Thus, the current War of Sealing Gods had become a grinder, continuously compelling the human race and the Demon Race to pour in their power, to increase the stakes on the table, waiting for the final victor to emerge as the ultimate winner and seize everything, while the loser forfeits all.
“Whether active or passive, both the human race and the Demon Race have now entered into this wager, and it is destined that there will be only one victor between us. Yet both sides hold absolute confidence in themselves, believing they will be the final victors,” Pei Xuanjing said with an amused smile on his face.
Regarding the current situation, both the human and Demon Race powerhouses saw it clearly and knew exactly what was at stake. However, each powerhouse that had reached this point possessed a firm Dao Heart and invincible belief, all firmly convinced that they would be the ultimate victors.
“Next, prepare yourself and lead the forces of our sect to the border. After experiencing this defeat, the Demon Race definitely won't be as arrogant and will surely bolster their strength. We too need to respond accordingly,” Pei Xuanjing instructed Deer Elder.
“Yes, your subordinate understands,” Deer Elder replied respectfully.
Deer Elder left, leaving Pei Xuanjing alone.
Standing with his hands behind his back, gazing into the sky, everything that had occurred kept flashing through Pei Xuanjing's mind as he contemplated the path ahead.
The Godsealing Plan was progressing smoothly. Neither the human race nor the Demon Race could compromise or retreat; all that was left was to risk it all for the final victory.
In a recent exchange with fellow Human Tribe True Immortals, Pei Xuanjing shared his understanding and insights from attaining Human Immortality, openly discussing the new system without any concealment, allowing these True Immortals to contemplate.
Of course, facing such circumstances, these True Immortals weren't secretive either. They each shared their own Cultivation path, in what was an exchange of insights.
For Pei Xuanjing, who was on the path of Enlightenment through the Five Elements, it was somewhat helpful. At their Realm, they were all groping forward in the dark, searching for the true path of the Dao.
Even with the help of a simulator, gaining these experiences was incredibly valuable. Moreover, the insights of these True Immortal leaders could be converted into Taoyun value for Pei Xuanjing, aiding him in rapidly accumulating Taoyun and preparing for the next life simulation.
As Pei Xuanjing considered his upcoming path, many True Immortals and Demon Kings of the Demon Race were also gathering together.
In the Demon Court, the Lion Emperor sat in the primary position, with the other True Immortal Demon Kings seated in order, even the Celestial Ape King did not immediately go into seclusion, but chose to stay temporarily, his avatar condensed from magical power.
At that moment, the atmosphere in the Demon Court was somewhat heavy, as the True Immortal Demon Kings had solemn expressions, each lost in their own thoughts.
The recent great battle of True Immortals was still vividly etched in their memories. The initial clashes between them and the True Immortals of the human race were normal, serving to test their own Divine Abilities and strength within the True Immortal Realm, helping them understand their place within it.
But the divine might displayed by Shenxiao True Monarch when he stepped in truly left them in awe.
Looking at the Celestial Ape King, who appeared only as an avatar, the other True Immortal Demon Kings had a mixture of complex expressions in their eyes, each feeling different emotions.
“`
The Celestial Ape King was known for his volatile and overbearing temperament within the Demon Race. Not many Demon Kings were on good terms with him, which is why he had lost the competition for the Position of Demon Emperor to the Lion Emperor in the first place.
Therefore, when the Celestial Ape King suffered a loss at the hands of Shenxiao True Monarch, the other True Monarch Demon Kings, especially those who bore grudges against him, could not help feeling a trace of schadenfreude.
However, beyond their schadenfreude, they also felt a sense of shared sorrow; the demise of another sent a chill down their spines.
These True Monarch Demon Kings were evenly matched in strength. Even if the Ape King was somewhat stronger, he wasn't overwhelmingly so.
But now that the Celestial Ape King had gone hand in hand with the Shenxiao True Monarch, and not alone, but alongside the strong Peacock King of the Demon Tribe True Monarchs, the outcome had still been as such.
If they were in his place, what would happen to them?
Would their True Spirits fail to escape and be directly suppressed under the Gods Sealing List?
Remembering the divine might radiated by the Gods Sealing List once activated by the Shenxiao True Monarch, these True Monarch Demon Kings, though they had never faced it directly, could discern its terrifying nature from the mere peripheral exposure, leaving an indelible mark in their memories.
The Lion Emperor sat in the main seat, his expression calm, but his gaze lingered upon the various True Monarch Demon Kings.
He understood that after witnessing the terrible power of the Gods Sealing List in the recent Great War, if the matter of the Demon Summoning Banner were brought up again, there would no longer be any opposition.
However, whether he should bring it up himself or if the other True Monarch Demon Kings would take the initiative was still a different matter. It was also an opportunity to see whether their attitude had softened after this ordeal.
Just as the Lion Emperor was waiting, he heard a Demon King speak up.
“Your Majesty, the matter of crafting the Demon Summoning Banner must not be delayed. Otherwise, if we clash with the human race again in the future and they call upon the Gods Sealing List, we will be utterly unable to contend with it,” said the Peacock King, breaking the silence that had prevailed in the Demon Court.
As one who originally did not wish to support the Lion Emperor, he had been reluctant to embrace the crafting of the Demon Summoning Banner. For it was undoubtedly detrimental to his interests.
But sometimes, only through personal experiences can one truly grasp the enormity of terror. Having faced the Gods Sealing List and narrowly escaped, even the proud Peacock King had to acknowledge that its dreadful power was beyond anything he had seen before.
He even wondered whether, had Shenxiao True Monarch targeted him instead of the Celestial Ape King initially, he would have had any chance of escape despite his unmatched proficiency in the Five Elements evasion technique.
When faced with a threat to oneself, even the Peacock King had to make some compromises.
They must craft the Demon Summoning Banner to serve as a pillar of power for the Demon Race, capable of contending with the Gods Sealing List. Otherwise, when faced with the unleashed might of the Gods Sealing List, they, as Demon Kings, would definitely be no match and only be suppressed.
“Hmm? It's him!” A flash of surprise crossed the golden eyes of the Lion Emperor, vanishing just as quickly, but a heaviness rose in his heart.
It seemed he had underestimated the might of the Gods Sealing List, which was the Lion Emperor's initial thought.
Though the Lion Emperor had never clashed with the might of the Peacock King, he was well aware of it.
The fact that the Peacock King was raising the issue indicated the grave threat the Gods Sealing List posed to him.
“I implore Your Majesty to issue the order. Our demon race also needs a vital artifact to stabilize the Demon Race's Qi Luck and to secure a lifeline for our strongest,” the Fox King chimed in at the right moment.
