Chapter 1060: Chapter 1008-1009 Demon Race Reform, Demon Emperor and Demon God Unification_2 Chapter 1060: Chapter 1008-1009 Demon Race Reform, Demon Emperor and Demon God Unification_2 Even then, they deliberately showed weakness, leaving traps in anticipation of the human race's advancing army, preparing to launch a counterattack to crush the humans and level the playing field once more.
However, to their surprise, even though the human race had achieved a great victory, they did not lose their heads but remained extremely vigilant instead.
After breaching the Demon Race's border defenses, the humans did not eagerly press their advantage but stationed themselves there, fortifying the defenses of the Demon Race's border, seemingly intent on turning it into a stronghold.
This decision also left the Demon Race's scheme in vain, as they did not expect the humans to remain so restrained despite such a huge victory.
But since the humans did not take the bait, the Demon Race would not do much else either. They continued to follow the changes in the Demon Court, initiating reforms within the Demon Race, strengthening the defense of this pass, and waiting for more powerful beings to arrive.
The Crimson Flame Tiger King, looking at the true immortal demons of their Tiger Clan, did not hesitate to hand over control of the pass to the emissary sent by the Demon Emperor according to the orders from the chief of their clan.
In the Demon Race, the strongest are revered. As the supreme powerhouse of the Tiger Clan, he followed all orders from the chief of the Tiger Clan. Now, with the will of both the True Immortal of the Tiger Clan and the Lion Emperor, he dared not disobey in the slightest.
Even if this emissary was weaker than him.
What once was the Demon Race's border defense is now the human race's stronghold for the attack on the Demon Race. Countless human armies are stationed here.
The killing intent that reaches to the sky pervades the pass, ceaselessly striking the firmament, drawing in the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi as if it could suppress heaven and earth itself.
The ongoing camps, various soldiers practicing maneuvers and deploying formation techniques, mysterious formations connecting, runes flashing with undying light, strands of killing intent shaking the void.
Inside the defenses, various cultivators are practicing their Daoist Magical Powers, refining their Magical Divine Weapons, cultivating their charms, increasing their strength, ready to show themselves in the upcoming great war and earn greater merits to vie for a Divine Position.
With the beginning of the War of Sealing Gods, especially after this battle, it is true that the human race lost many cultivators, but the True Spirits of these fallen cultivators and soldiers did not enter the Nine Netherworld, they already returned to the Gods Sealing List.
This confirmed what many True Immortals had previously stated about the Gods Sealing List being correct; Longevity of the Divine Position is no empty promise. Furthermore, the generous interests gained from every slaying of the Demon Race benefit their cultivation undoubtedly, stirring their enthusiasm even further.
Perhaps the disciples of the great powers have their sects as support, and they usually do not lack cultivation resources.
However, for independent practitioners, many of the cultivation resources they need are obtained through their own efforts and struggles, which is why there used to be countless independent practitioners gathering at the borders, often sneaking into the Demon Domain to hunt demons for fortune.
Now that the Conferred God War has begun, it means they can have powerhouses lead them in battle against the Demon Race. Even if they fall in the end, as long as they have accrued enough merits, they too have the chance to ascend the Gods Sealing List and be granted a Divine Position.
Even if they end up with the worst outcome, unable to secure a renowned Divine Position, becoming an unnamed Heavenly Soldier or General in the Gods Sealing List is also not a bad choice.
After all, although these independent practitioners work hard in their cultivation, they truly believe they have no chance at achieving longevity by themselves.
It must be said that the Godsealing Plan is something the entire human race collectively desires, aligning with the complete interests of all human cultivators.
For the powerhouses, competing for a Divine Position is a step toward laying the groundwork for their future cultivation, allowing them to become even more powerful.
For the average cultivator, who would have otherwise lived a life of mediocrity, there is now the opportunity to grasp a chance at longevity.
Because of this, the power of the entire human race has been thoroughly inspired and mobilized; all cultivators and great powers are withholding nothing.
Especially those Great Powers, in order to become powerful in the Future, they have taken out all their foundations, on the one hand working hard to strengthen their Sect disciples, and on the other hand accelerating the transformation of the Spirit Realm Cave Heavens obtained from the Great Ming Divine Dynasty.
“How are things with those soldiers and cultivators who died in battle? Have their merits been confirmed?” Wang Bo'an asked Gu Ji, who was next to him.
At this moment, they were sitting in the City Lord's Mansion at the Demon Race border defense, with a huge map of the Demon Domain spread out before them, marking the coordinates of some of the internal barriers of the Demon Race.
This map of the Demon Domain was obtained from within the Demon Race border defense, but it could only serve as a rough reference, because with the fall of the Demon Race border defense, the positions of these guarded barriers would remain unchanged, but the defensive strength would definitely undergo huge changes, different from the markings on the map.
The coordinate points of these barriers in the Demon Race are unlike the human race's, where the establishment of city barriers is for ease of governance and centralization of power, to prevent local powers from growing too large and then defying the orders of the imperial court.
In contrast, the city barriers of the Demon Race have the opposite purpose. These cities were built by various Demon Race tribes, not only serving as defensive hotspots but also as a key for a tribe to protect itself, as there are constant struggles within the Demon Race.
This results in their border defenses not being the same as the human race's, where breaking through one would allow for a successive advance.
Often, even after capturing a city barrier, it might still be impossible to advance readily, because there might be no significance in doing so with other barriers in the vicinity acting as obstacles.
Under such complex circumstances, Wang Bo'an and his companions need to study the map of the Demon Domain, to confirm the most convenient path for them, and not to waste the human race's strength over unnecessary situations.
It is also for this reason, even after successfully capturing the Demon Race border defense, Wang Bo'an did not immediately continue the onslaught but opted for a Steady Strike strategy.
Having already achieved his goal of establishing authority through an initial victory, he no longer needed to attack hastily. Instead, he needed to consolidate his forces and prepare for battle, facing a Demon Race that had begun to take them seriously.
Nevertheless, this attack route still needed to be carefully studied and considered. At this time, he was more concerned about another matter related to whether the military morale was reliable.
As a commander, he had many things to consider, and military morale was the most critical.
Unlike ordinary soldiers who understand that the return of True Spirits to the Gods Sealing List marks the end, he also had to consider the issue of merit calculation for these soldiers.
And the counting of these merits was not just done by their own people, but also involved Hai Gangfeng, as the person Enthroning Gods, to verify the merits of every participant.
Wang Bo'an did not need these merits to be completely impeccable, but he needed to ensure that the merit confirmation would not differ too greatly, which was imperative for him to pay attention to as a commander.
Hearing Wang Bo'an's inquiry, Gu Ji nodded and said, “All participating cultivators and soldiers, whether they have died in battle or are surviving soldiers, their merits have been confirmed, and there is virtually no difference from what Hai Gangfeng has verified.”
It was quite unexpected. According to the usual practice of merit calculation, over-reporting merits was quite normal, but this time, the reported merits from those who joined the army were almost error-free.
This could not help but make Gu Ji reflect that perhaps only when their own interests are involved do they act with such high levels of seriousness and responsibility.
God positions in the Gods Sealing List are determined by merits, and in the past, over-reporting merits was a matter of rewards issued by the imperial court and had nothing to do with the people calculating these merits; it could even act as a favor when declared generously.
But now the struggle for Divine Positions is crucial for everyone, with merit being the core of competing for a Divine Position. If one were to over-report someone else's merits, it would be as if they were giving away their future Divine Position to someone else, something no one would be willing to do.
Thus, due to the accuracy needed in this merit calculation, the figures provided by those joining the army were precise and almost without any discrepancy.
The long-troubling issue of false credit had been resolved in such a manner, leaving Gu Ji with mixed emotions.
