Bai Ze mused on Di Jun's thoughts and spoke in agreement, "Your Majesty, if the Human Race dares to declare war on the Demon Court now, unless they are fools, they must have some trump cards."
"If we send only one Demon Saint and billions of demon soldiers, even with the power of the Star Dou Great Formation, it will be difficult to ascertain the extent of the Human Race's trump cards."
Bai Ze knew Di Jun did not wish to dispatch only one Demon Saint, so he first voiced these concerns, implying that sending just one was insufficient and not secure.
However, he also understood that the Demon Court could not mobilize its entire force. Otherwise, the Wu Clan would surely notice this critical juncture, which would not align with the Demon Court's interests.
Therefore, he continued, "But although the Wu Clan is simple-minded, they are not utterly foolish. If the Demon Court uses the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation to suppress the Human Race, the Wu Clan will inevitably cause trouble."
"They might attack the Demon Court, or they might wait until the Demon Court's strength is depleted after a major battle with the Human Race, and then directly devour the Demon Court. This is also a highly probable scenario."
"Furthermore, if all the myriad races of the Demon Court were to attack a single Human Race... using the power of countless races against one race would likely shock the beings of the Great Desolation."
"I suggest that Gui Che, Jiu Ying, and Fei Lian, the three Demon Saints, be ordered to gather over a hundred Great Luo realm demon gods, raise three hundred billion demon soldiers, and establish the Star Dou Great Formation as their base."
"With the power of the formation, three hundred billion demon soldiers, the assistance of a hundred demon gods, and the presence of three Demon Saints, even ten rogue Quasi-Saints could be dealt with."
"The Human Race cannot possibly have ten rogue Quasi-Saints, ten early-stage Quasi-Saint cultivators."
"Therefore, this approach would be an infallible strategy."
Bai Ze's words struck a chord with Di Jun.
Especially the sentence about the myriad races of the Demon Court attacking together, which would shock all beings in the Great Desolation.
This statement particularly resonated with Di Jun.
As the lord of the myriad races, if he were to personally lead an expedition against a mere Human Race that declared war, it would be too astonishing to friendly nations.
It was absolutely unacceptable.
Moreover, the Wu Clan would likely cause trouble.
Therefore, he had to remain at the Demon Court.
However, Di Jun was also concerned about the Human Race's unknown trump cards.
He was not at ease sending only one Demon Saint. Thus, sending three Demon Saints was naturally a two-pronged solution.
It would ensure sufficient strength against the Human Race without leaving the Demon Court vulnerable.
Good!
So be it!
Di Jun made his decision:
"Let Gui Che, Jiu Ying, and Fei Lian, the three Demon Saints, lead three hundred billion demon soldiers and nearly a hundred Great Luo realm demon gods to subjugate the Human Race."
Bai Ze reminded him, "Your Majesty, to be absolutely safe, please have the Demon Master accompany the legion, hidden in the background."
"If the three Demon Saints are injured by a trump card, the Demon Master, being an old-established Quasi-Saint, can provide timely rescue."
"This will also serve as our trump card."
Bai Ze, acting on Di Jun's behalf, added a final layer of insurance. With this, even he believed it to be absolutely foolproof and free from any further unforeseen circumstances.
The Demon Master, Kun Peng, his expression shifted slightly, and he cursed Bai Ze internally for first opposing his opinion and then drawing him back into the operational plan.
Truly despicable and shameless.
The three Demon Saints, especially Gui Che and Fei Lian, cast unfriendly glances at Bai Ze, as if to say, "If I, a single Demon Saint, can obliterate the Human Race countless times, why would we need three Demon Saints to descend simultaneously and have the Demon Master hidden in the background to oversee?
Are you underestimating us too much?
And with so many demons involved, won't our credit for defeating the Human Race be diluted and shared with others?
This Bai Ze actually wants to share my merit with other demons.
Either he's stupid, thinking one Demon Saint cannot pacify the Human Race, or he's cunning, wanting to share the credit."
Almost all the demons were displeased with Bai Ze's words.
Only Di Jun was extremely satisfied.
Three Quasi-Saint realm Demon Saints, over a hundred Great Luo realm demon gods, three hundred billion demon soldiers, and the Star Dou Great Formation.
Coupled with Kun Peng, an old-established Quasi-Saint.
Compared to the three Great Luo realm demon gods and three hundred million demon soldiers sent to deal with the Human Race previously, this force was more than a hundred times stronger!
With this force, which was more than a hundred times stronger, Di Jun believed the Human Race could definitely be annihilated!
The plan for the Witch Slaying Sword was not a true failure; it could be restarted!
I have not lost yet!
Even if the Human Race has now risen and become powerful enough to slay Great Luo realm demon gods, so what?
My Demon Court has numerous demon gods, and above the demon gods are Demon Saints, and even a Demon Master who is more powerful than a Demon Saint!
How can a mere weak Human Race, with the strength of a single race, withstand the might of my Demon Court's army?
If this unexpected obstacle is resolved, the Witch Slaying Sword can still be successfully forged, and I can proceed to the next step: defeat the Wu Clan, achieve sainthood through destiny, unify the Great Desolation, and even treat immeasurable kalpas with indifference.
These beautiful futures will eventually be realized!
How could it be possible that because of this minor Human Race incident, my ambition becomes a pipe dream?
This is absolutely unacceptable!
I, in the future, will rule the Great Desolation, witness immeasurable kalpas without perishing, and traverse countless epochs without falling!
"Demon Master, I command you to remain hidden behind the legion. If the three Demon Saints can annihilate the Human Race, you need not intervene."
"If you perceive the situation turning unfavorable, immediately render assistance and eliminate the Human Race. Do you understand?"
Di Jun commanded.
Kun Peng replied respectfully, "Your subject obeys."
While Kun Peng was respectful, he understood Di Jun's intentions.
Ordering him to remain hidden was merely for appearances.
He feared that all beings in the Great Desolation and various powerful individuals would say that the Demon Emperor used a butcher's knife to kill a chicken, sending the Demon Master Kun Peng, an old-established Quasi-Saint, to deal with a mere Human Race.
Di Jun was merely concerned with prestige and the Demon Court's reputation, hence he instructed Kun Peng not to act unless the situation turned unfavorable.
Kun Peng understood Di Jun's mindset.
He also understood that his role in this expedition was merely that of a final safeguard. If the Human Race proved so powerful as to defeat even three Demon Saints, he could then assist.
If the Demon Court held the advantage and suppressed the Human Race, he naturally could not intervene, nor could he reveal himself to the beings of the Great Desolation.
Kun Peng thought to himself, "Di Jun is becoming increasingly focused on reputation and so-called prestige."
"You talk about your subordinates showing off, but aren't you just as good at putting on a show? You're only slightly better than the Demon Saints."
"Fine, I'll go and see what trump cards the Human Race truly possesses and witness what this so-called extraterrestrial inheritance is all about."
Although Kun Peng thought this,
He subconsciously felt that he would not have an opportunity to appear.
He subconsciously believed that three Demon Saints and such a large force should be sufficient.
It was precisely because he didn't think he would need to appear that he kept pondering what extraterrestrial inheritance the Human Race had obtained, rather than focusing on how to defeat them.
It turned out that not only Di Jun and the Demon Saints, but even the Demon Master Kun Peng, who cursed them, subconsciously believed they were invincible against the Human Race.
From beginning to end, the so-called high-ranking officials of the Demon Court, whether Di Jun, the Demon Saints, or Kun Peng, were all the same.
They were all cut from the same cloth!
They had long since become decadent, treating the Demon Court as a celestial empire, believing themselves to be superior to the barbarians of the Human Race, and thinking themselves invincible.
