Chapter 280 - Has There Ever Been Any Demon Species That Survived Thanks to Promises? (1/2)

“Carefree life? What a joke,” said Liu Qiyue coldly. “How is it a joke?” The black-robed illusory figure smiled. “Do you insist on dying in battle, including your family and children? Is that good?”

Meng Chuan looked at him. “Do you think you demon monarchs are able to kill us?” The black-robed illusory figure laughed. “The demons can send an unending number of forces into the human world with fifth Firmament greater demon monarchs and even demon sages. The forces that enter this world will only grow stronger. Your Creation Supremacies have to bow their heads obediently or they will die without a doubt. Why are you Marquis Godfiends so stubborn? We demons do not need you to submit now.

“You can continue to be heroes among humans, as long as you reveal some information secretly. When the war outcome becomes irreversible, and humanity’s loss becomes inevitable, it will not be too late for you to surrender. Of course, you have to provide intelligence first. If you don’t contribute at all, we demons won’t accept you even if you wish to surrender in the future,” said the illusory black-robed figure with a smile. “You don’t lose anything in this case. All you need to do is secretly reveal some information. There are many Godfiends doing this. One more doesn’t matter. You have a backup plan for yourself, your family, and clansmen. Isn’t that nice?”

Meng Chuan shook his head gently. “I don’t think it’s nice.”

“In the future, humans promised territory will be small-only ten percent of the human world. However, at the very least, you will be able to reproduce and survive. Your family and clansmen can continue generation after generation. You can also live a carefree life. Isn’t that great?” said the black-robed illusory figure. “Whether your descendants follow the Skydemon cultivation system or the Godfiend cultivation system, how does that relate to you? If you switch to another cultivation system, you will also have a very long lifespan. Are you going to drag countless people down with you just to continue the Godfiend cultivation system legacy?

“How nice it would be to give up the Godfiend cultivation system and live happily with countless people,” said the black-robed illusory figure. It was only an embodiment, and it didn’t have any bewitching powers. It was also aware that such bewitching powers could only affect Marquis and Regis Godfiends for a short period of time.

If he wanted them to join the demons, the Marquis and Regis Godfiends had to agree of their own accord.

“As long as you secretly leak the information, no one will be able to detect it. Even us demons won’t have any evidence to accuse you,” said the black-robed illusory figure. “If a miracle really happens and the humans will win, nobody will know about you leaking information as long as you keep your mouth shut. We demons will not be able to accuse you either. Even if we do… the humans will not believe it either.

“If you advance, you will enjoy glory within the human race. If you retreat, you will rule over countless mortals in the humans’ assigned territory in the future. You will be able to live the life of an exalted one. Marquis Eastcalm, Marchioness Calmmoon, you have to consider it seriously. It’s not only for you but also for your children.”

“The method of leaking information is very simple. Use a Bewitching Art and control a mortal to deliver information. That mortal will not be able to reveal that you were the one who leaked the information. Leave behind a secret mark that we agree upon. We demons only need to know that it’s from the two of you,” said the illusory black-robed figure gently. Meng Chuan said wistfully, “The fear of death is a common trait of humans. I’m afraid Godfiends will truly divulge information to you as a result.”

The illusory black-robed figure nodded with a smile. “Yes, there is quite the number.”

“But the so-called promise, the promise engraved on the Sacred Monument, is a joke.” Meng Chuan sneered at him.

“Joke? The Demon Sacred Monument is an extremely important object for us demons. The Imperial Lords personally engraved the promise on the Demon Sacred Monument. If they don’t fulfill the promise, the Imperial Lords will be mocked by the world. No demon will believe them in the future,” said the illusory black-robed figure.

Meng Chuan shook his head and said, “According to what I know, the demons are divided into many races-wolves, bears, tigers, etc. Which one of these demons survived through promises?”

The illusionary figure in the black robe was stunned.

“In the Demon Realm, the strong prey on the weak,” said Meng Chuan, “Only by relying on strength can one survive. To appease the humans, the demons have promised that humans will be one of the demons’ Hundred Races. However, if you really occupy this world in the future, will the other demons spare humans?” Meng Chuan shook his head.

“The Imperial Lord carved it on the Sacred Monument…” the illusory black-robed figure continued.
