I Don't Agree to the Terms

Chapter 916 484: Splitting into Two Teams to Devise a Plan

Just like a tiger demon, after transforming into a human, it won't gain greater strength; instead, it will weaken its inherent physical power, and the way of fighting will be greatly unsuited.

It's like making a normal person switch from walking upright to crawling like a snake on the ground. How could that improve efficiency? The body structures are entirely different, so naturally, demon races can't be expected to adapt by transforming into humans.

As for the idea that humans are Innate Spirit Bodies, so demon races must transform to advance further, this may exist in other worlds, but not in this one. Instead, cultivating with a demon body is faster.

"This is indeed a big problem, inherently too disadvantageous." Gu Shanhai can actually resolve it; he has the 36 Transformations and 72 Transformations, only needing some modification.

After all, the version is still from the Xuanzhen Realm. Let alone whether it can take effect in the Da Xuan Dynasty, even if it can, using it would still cause problems.

The differences between worlds make it impossible for cultivation techniques to be compatible with each other.

Modifying it is quite challenging. Although he brought over a third of the Four Sacred Beasts System's computation power, it would take about ten years to complete the compatibility of the 72 Transformations.

The problem is, he has other tasks, namely researching Eternal Witness and the secret realms after the death of God Demons.

Indeed, the main body is researching the "Path of Civilization" and the Time History Book pages, while he's responsible for these two projects; otherwise, wouldn't he just be idling upon his return?

Even if it's not as efficient as the main body's research, any progress is still progress.

If he really diverts to researching the 72 Transformations, it would be a loss more than a gain.

In ten years, although the vitality of the Da Xuan Dynasty may not fully recover, it would at least go from half-dead to passable.

And during this period, if the Demon Domain fails to unify and recuperate, then it's pretty much doomed.

The player attempting this won't find it easy either. After the unification of the Da Xuan Dynasty, they naturally won't allow the Demon Domain to unify, only maintaining balance by supporting various demon forces to ensure internal friction.

In such a scenario, once the vitality of the Da Xuan Dynasty is restored, they will not only easily crush the Demon Domain but also gain many demon forces influenced by them.

After all, giving them offerings won't come for free, often through trade, followed by propaganda in the Da Xuan style, swaying the little demons and big demons in demon forces to believe the Da Xuan Dynasty is a paradise, even with sweet air.

Then, taking over becomes very simple.

If things go smoothly, just a rumor of the Da Xuan Dynasty wanting to attack the Demon Domain might make demon forces kneel, directly showing the way to Da Xuan.

Qing Feng and Ming Yue have never thought of exterminating the demon races.

Demons are virtually impossible to eradicate unless all plants, animals, and even mountains and rivers are flattened; this could possibly prevent the birth of demons.

Therefore, the best way is naturally to integrate them as part of the Da Xuan Dynasty, making them one of its citizens.

However, the difficulty is very high, not to mention the varied nature of demon races, solely the hatred and prejudice between humans and demons require considerable time to alleviate.

For humans, it's manageable, with their large numbers but average lifespan around a century. It's no big deal over a few millennia.

It's the demons that are harder to handle because, with different species attaining essence, their lifespans vary greatly, making management tough.

"Master, do you have any solutions?" Ming Yue, for now, only thought about indirectly guiding and restricting demons through ideology, not considering espionage at all.

"What solutions could I have?" Gu Shanhai does have a solution: direct suppression. But he doesn't want to do it, as it would affect the main body's experiments.

The main body is also searching for another player in the Demon Domain, not in the "Path of Civilization" game, but directly offline, intending to physically destroy this player.

Once a person is dead, everything ends.

Gu Shanhai wouldn't waste the opponent's account; he plans to seize their account before physical destruction, letting them watch it happen right in front of them.

Wanting their account, if the person cooperates, it would certainly be more efficient.

Actually, Gu Shanhai doesn't care much for accounts; it's more for the "Path of Civilization," with the account merely as a stepping stone, not the entirety.

"That's truly a pity." Ming Yue sighed.

"But speaking of which, Master, the stronger one's power, the lazier they become. For you, these matters are child's play, easily resolved with a wave of the hand, yet you deliberately watch and don't intervene." Qing Feng asked curiously.

"This isn't about laziness, it's about training you."

Indeed, Gu Shanhai is lazy. Instead of extending a hand, he'd rather conduct more experiments. Do you really think extending a hand ends it? There's always follow-up work to retract it.

"Look, if you didn't undergo years of training, how could you digest the knowledge I've taught you and apply it practically?" Gu Shanhai conjured another reason.

"I feel you foresaw our trouble, so back then you just set us free and let us roam." Qing Feng quipped.

No doubt, Qing Feng's beastly intuition is quite sharp, directly guessing Gu Shanhai's thoughts.

"What are you talking about, how could I be such a person!" Gu Shanhai declared righteously, absolutely refusing to admit this.

"Then why were you teaching remotely instead of calling us back to avoid trouble?" Qing Feng calmly pointed out Gu Shanhai's loophole.

Nearby, Ming Yue frantically gestured to Qing Feng to stop quipping and arguing; otherwise, he might get beaten soon, seeing Gu Shanhai about to lose the argument.

Qing Feng, realizing this, hastily added, "Surely, Master, there's deeper meaning I didn't grasp."

He also regretted it; lately, he had too many arguments with those civil servants and had gotten used to sparring with Gu Shanhai, not realizing the difference. Civil servants withdrawing in defeat had no consequences, but if Gu Shanhai lost an argument, he would be in real trouble.

"Stop wrangling with civil servants in the future." Seeing Qing Feng back down, Gu Shanhai withdrew the means he was about to use on him.

"No problem!" Qing Feng secretly felt relieved, having gotten through this time.

"But speaking of which, how do those civil servants dare confront you like this, aren't they afraid you'll slaughter them?" Gu Shanhai asked curiously, knowing Qing Feng is dealing with various sects and families, extremely ruthless.

"Outside I can kill, but on the court, it's inappropriate. Can't just because they say something to me I get physical, right?" Qing Feng understood the priorities; the opponents criticizing him wouldn't physically harm him, and he could always retort, giving them a taste of vocabulary breadth and ancestral reproach.

Qing Feng can be vulgar, due to his special status, while civil servants couldn't afford vulgarity. If they cursed him, it would implicate Gu Shanhai, insulting a God Demon, unable to even protect their own.

As for family, there's no possibility either; Qing Feng hasn't married, so there's no target to curse.

Thus, with one unrestricted and the other constrained, the civil servants' odds don't seem high.

"You truly consider the bigger picture." Gu Shanhai chuckled involuntarily.

"Not really, many civil servants became recluse after my scoldings and resigned." Qing Feng stated, he's no pushover either.

Ming Yue, hearing this, felt a little helpless. It's true, but with his support, usually targeting the pacifying civil servants, so capable ones wouldn't be subjected to Qing Feng's criticism.
