I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

Chapter 1080 - 578: The God of War's Arrangement! (Part 2)

"In truth, whether we can win this battle, even the Human Martial Saint cannot be the key... Only that gentleman can compensate for our disadvantage against the Gods and Demons alliance."

The Young Venerable of the Wind Spirit Tribe said, and involuntarily glanced at Yun Jiu.

For some reason, she always felt that the gentleman seemed to have a great kindness towards the sisters of the Yun family.

As a fellow female, she had met this man who could slay Divine Spirits earlier.

Although the other party recognized her quite well, there was no such special "kindness"!

"..."

In fact, Yun Jiu also felt in her heart that the gentleman seemed to regard her with special attention.

No!

To be precise, it seemed to be more focused on her sister!

She didn't quite understand it, but she didn't delve into it deeply either.

As long as the other party was not a bad person, nor an enemy, he was an ally.

The safety of this land now depended crucially on the other party.

Confronting the Gods and Demons alliance head-on would surely lead to defeat.

Only if that gentleman intervened could the outcome of victory or defeat be influenced!

"This land is extremely vast. Even a single Divine Spirit can only protect one region, but cannot shield everything!"

Yun Jiu looked into the distance and said, "The strength of one person, no matter how great, taking on such a responsibility, will suffocate... We cannot rely entirely on his protection alone either!"

The Young Venerable of the Wind Spirit Tribe said, "So, I believe he can make up for the disadvantage, but I dare not say that his strength alone can fully decide the victory or defeat of this war!"

"If we can't hold on, with the land overrun by Gods, Demons, and evil spirits, and the Human Clan completely dying out, then this battle is also lost..."

Yun Jiu said in a low voice, "The Human Clan cannot grow stronger entirely, pinning hopes on a few strong individuals, the odds are slim."

"Thus, you've been spreading cultivation techniques, passing them around, enlightening the Human Clan."

The Young Venerable of the Wind Spirit Tribe said softly, "Night Watcher, that gentleman really came up with a good name! If Yun Jiu's sister is willing to accept it, after this battle, I will follow you?"

"Hm?"

Yun Jiu looked at her then said, "You are the Young Venerable of the Wind Spirit Tribe, your father has become the controller of the Heavenly Mechanism Sacred Land, whatever path you choose in this life, you can gain stability! Following us would only mean wandering around, going through hardships, perhaps dying silently..."

"With your skills, if you stayed long-term in one tribe, you wouldn't be sacrificed, you could also be stable."

The Young Venerable of the Wind Spirit Tribe said, "But haven't you chosen this path too? You lost the Phoenix Blood, the future is even more dangerous, staying in these thirty-six tribes is the best choice, yet haven't you already prepared to leave?"

"These thirty-six tribes may settle down, but beyond them, to the north, the world is even larger, countless Human Clan members are in dire suffering..."

Yun Jiu said with calm expression, "The night covers the land, the Night Watcher... should not only illuminate one corner!"

"Without continuous fuel, flames will be extinguished."

"Relying solely on the foundation of thirty-six tribes may not last long!"

She said this, looking at the Young Venerable of the Wind Spirit Tribe, and smiled, "If after this battle, we are both still alive, let's head north together to spread the Human Martial Saint's art!"

——

Li Jiu had cultivated the Inner Realm Divine Domain, responsible for the boundary's defense.

But the Martial Artists of the thirty-six tribes, spread out across various defensive lines, were already relatively sparse.

"Master Jiu, there are two tribes conquered in this area."

A young man from the Upper Heaven, named Gao Sui, said solemnly, "They developed by relying on the relics of the Old Gods and often offered boys and girls in sacrifice to the Gods and Demons all around or used the elderly as sacrifices to the Evil Spirits on all sides to avoid disasters."

"Previously sacrificing to the Jiujiang Holy Land, these two tribes were attacked."

"The first tribe suffered heavy losses, even the Grand Venerate was devoured."

"In the other tribe, the Grand Venerate is at the Refining God Realm, with more than two hundred Martial Artists remaining."

"Aside from this, in the Divine Demon pastures, there are more than a hundred Martial Artists among the Human Clan being raised, but they only have cultivation without means of fighting... Moreover, they still worship Gods and Demons, not considering us their kin."

This young man whispered, "When the great enemy arrives, they might not rebel on the spot, but they might surrender immediately! The idea from Dragon Head City is to transfer these more than two hundred Martial Artists to the rear, in charge of crafting weapons and producing all necessary items!"

"Feasible."

Li Jiu nodded slightly.

Not long after, this person returned with news.

"Master Jiu, a small tribe migrated from the north, totaling no more than six hundred people, among them nearly four hundred Martial Artists."

"They heard that on our side, the Human Clan stood tall and slew Gods and Demons, exterminated Evil Spirits, needing no more sacrifice of kin, thus came to align their entire tribe with us."

"This tribe originally had six thousand people, four thousand were unwilling to move south, stayed in their own tribe, while two thousand were willing to migrate, suffering heavy casualties along the way, leaving just over six hundred."

"Their leader, aware of our resistance against the Gods and Demons alliance, hesitated."

"After my persuasion, they realized going north to return would surely be intercepted by the God's and Demons alliance, resulting in complete annihilation."

"So, they are willing to stay, and over four hundred Martial Artists, all at our disposal, as a sign of their sincerity in joining us."

With Gao Sui's voice.

Li Jiu pondered slightly.

Recently, the worlds above and below have been in great upheaval.

Various Old Gods emerged.

All sorts of phenomena arose.

Various Divine Demon Clans, demons, and evil spirits waged war against each other, plundering populations.

Especially in the Green Emperor World, with the disappearance of the Emperor Clan leaders and the Wooden Emperor Palace, even most of the upper echelon went missing.

Thus, within the Green Emperor World, all kinds of Gods, Demons, and evil spirits previously governed by the Emperor Clan roamed unchecked, fighting each other for territory and population.

And in this region, because of the Jiujiang Holy Land, the massive plundering of boys and girls led to huge losses among various Human Clan tribes and pastures where they were raised, many being entirely wiped out.

In the chaos, from the northern direction, many Human Clan members have headed south to seek refuge.

Among them exist some Human Clan strong individuals with decent cultivation who do not wish to lead too many weaker kin, coming alone instead.

Others bring their whole family.

Like groups of several hundred such people, this was still the first time.

"Reported to Dragon Head City?"

Li Jiu inquired like this.

"Reported."

Gao Sui said in a low voice, "The previous Refining God Realm arrival was already reported to the Young Venerable's awareness."

Li Jiu knew Gao Sui was from the Upper Heaven, and the Young Venerable he referred to was Shangguan Shang.

"Some within the tribe leadership believe such Refining God Realm individuals, abandoning their tribe and coming alone, likely possess strong selfishness; at a critical moment, they may likewise abandon us..."

"In the future, letting them hold high positions might make them think of themselves as 'superior,' feeling superior and looking down upon their kin..."

"However, the Young Venerable thinks we must use people during our crisis. Regardless of what these individuals harbor in their hearts differently, use them first... Assess merit and reward after this war."

"As for promoting to high positions, examine their character closely."

Gao Sui spoke in a low voice, "If this calamity can't be overcome, any thoughts of long-term consideration are empty words!"

Li Jiu nodded a bit, then said, "This is the largest number of dependents coming to this defensive line, I'll meet them in person!"

However, pausing, Li Jiu considered then asked, "I heard the God of War Emperor Clan is good at using troops, much different from general Divine Demon Clans and demons, could it be the Human Clan raised by them have come to spy?"

"No, I've tried them, they have good skills, and they have seen blood, unlike blood food."

Gao Sui said, "To Gods and Demons, humans raised are just livestock, they fatten them up but don't let them grow fangs and claws to become predators!"

"Besides, these people's skills are varied, not from the same root."

"If they were trained soldiers, they should be cultivating the same magic method, using the same tactics."

Pausing, Gao Sui said, "Moreover, in my view, the Gods and Demons alliance believes the gentleman is dead, so they dare to attack in force... In their eyes, we are a bunch of wild prey, why bother with such trouble?"

"Makes some sense."

Li Jiu nodded a bit, saying, "You have good insight... In this world, the Human Clan having some force is already rare! And you are so meticulous..."

"The Young Venerable, though younger than me, has always led us."

Gao Sui said with a smile, "He said a few years ago, that he was being developed as 'Young Venerable' for us! In the future, when he has stronger skills, he plans to expand power and establish many new tribes outside, and we would be the Grand Venerates of various tribes!"

"Shangguan Shang..."

Li Jiu thought inwardly, "Truly ambitious and determined, with the gentleman's support, he is sure to become a true Human Clan leader in the future!"
