"Human race..."
Di Jun's low voice echoed in the hearts of all the high-ranking demon court officials present.
"The first war between the human race and the demon race saw three Great Luo demon gods crusade against the human race, arrogantly treating them as prey with no power to resist."
"They treated it as hunting humans, not war, and thus, they failed."
"They failed because they saw humans as prey, thinking they were hunting, unaware that this was a war against another race..."
Di Jun's low voice sounded again.
"The second war between the human race and the demon race, I, this Emperor, had gained some understanding of the human race's strength."
"Therefore, I directly dispatched a massive demon army, comprising over three thousand races, a hundred demon gods, and three demon saints."
"This was no longer hunting humans, but a true war."
"The demon court's attitude was to treat the human race as an opponent in war, not prey to be hunted."
"However..."
Di Jun sighed.
"We still lost."
"Only slightly over twenty demon gods escaped back."
"Out of a hundred demon gods, only twenty-odd remained."
"The demon soldiers, from three thousand races, only two hundred races fled back to the demon court."
"Over two thousand races perished on the battlefield... No, the demon gods were still loyal to the demon court, knowing to return after defeat. As for the demon soldiers and generals, heh, some have no intention of returning to the demon court."
"No wonder only two hundred races escaped back... Hahahaha! My demon court has dominated the Primordial Era for so long, unified the heavens and the earth, suppressed all races in the Primordial Era, for billions of years..."
"Dominated the Primordial Era for billions of years!"
"After encountering the human race, all demon soldiers were fleeing!"
"They either had already fled! Or were on their way to planning their escape!"
At this point.
Di Jun went mad and threw the stone chair away.
"Traitors!"
"You traitors!"
"Having enjoyed the protection of the demon court for billions of years, safe from the slaughter of the Wu race... When war came, all of you are defecting! All planning to leave the myriad races of the demon court!"
"I wish I could kill all of you!"
"I will exterminate the entire clans of these fleeing demon soldiers, demon generals, demon marshals... No, I will exterminate their nine generations!"
Di Jun's emotions had reached an extreme!
At this moment, he was roaring incessantly! He no longer looked like the lord of all races, but like a madman!
Whether it was the Great Luo demon gods who had fled back to the demon court, or the demon gods who had remained in the demon court and had not gone to crusade against the humans, they all trembled upon hearing Di Jun's voice.
They dared not even lift their heads, lowering them and listening to Di Jun's "ravings" and "mad talk."
They dared not utter a single word.
Because they knew in their hearts.
The reality was far worse than the intelligence Di Jun had received.
In fact, the current demon court was not just experiencing desertions among the demon soldiers dispatched.
It was that, even without dispatching troops, some demon races seemed to sense the impending doom and directly used various excuses to leave the demon court and flee to the lower realms.
They had already sensed something was amiss.
The human race, like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, had annihilated the three great demon saints.
The Human Emperor of the Quasi-Saint level.
The entire Dragon race had submitted to the human race.
One piece of real intelligence after another was simply... as if it had made numerous demon soldiers and generals witness the arrival of doomsday.
The demon court, in terms of overall strength, was already significantly weaker than the human race. Any demon with foresight could see that the demon court's defeat was inevitable.
When disaster strikes, everyone flies for themselves.
Perhaps when facing the Wu race, there weren't so many fleeing demon soldiers.
Because the two races were evenly matched, they were regular old rivals.
In major battles, both sides suffered casualties, with neither side having an overwhelming advantage.
But the human race was different.
The human race and the demon court were not evenly matched at present; on some level, the human race held a significant advantage.
It couldn't be said that the demon court was incapable of winning, but based on the intelligence analysis from the front lines... the winning probability was likely less than ten percent for the demon court.
A ninety percent chance of defeat, a ten percent chance of victory.
Coupled with the intelligence about the rapid cultivation speed of the Heaven-Shielding Method.
Many demon races felt that they were not facing an enemy of equal strength, an enemy of the same caliber.
Instead, it was like an ancient, decaying power facing an advanced one.
Times had changed.
The new cultivation system was practically sweeping the old cultivation system into the dustbin of history.
These demon soldiers and generals also had emotions, and they could feel the terrifying cultivation speed of the Heaven-Shielding Method.
In a mere twenty thousand years.
The human race had developed to this extent.
What would happen in another hundred thousand years?
What would happen in another million years?
What about ten million years, a hundred million years, or even a billion years?
This was a terrifying thought that made one's blood run cold.
Any demon soldier, demon general, or demon marshal who contemplated this thought.
Whether they were Xuan Immortals, Golden Immortals, or Taiyi Immortals...
Regardless of their cultivation level as a demon race.
They felt fear.
It was the fear of a feudal dynasty being shot by cannons.
The Heaven-Shielding Method was far too advanced compared to the Primordial Law!
It was a generational crush on the Primordial Law!
The gap between the two was almost an era's difference!
Although compared to the Heaven-Shielding Method, the Primordial Law had more mystical means, and its methods were extremely comprehensive...
Although the Heaven-Shielding Method was called a "barbarian system" by many demon soldiers and generals, focusing only on combat power with monotonous and uncomprehensive methods.
But, strong combat power meant strong combat power.
Fast cultivation speed meant fast cultivation speed.
In a few thousand years, they could achieve what the demon race had achieved in billions of years of effort cultivating the Primordial Law.
This terrifying gap.
No demon dared to ignore it.
Who knew what the human race would become in the future.
Therefore, at this moment, the demon soldiers, demon generals, and even demon marshals of the demon court were all secretly looking for opportunities to slip away.
Those who could find connections would do so, seeing if they could activate the demon court's teleportation array and directly teleport to a remote corner of the Primordial Continent.
Those without connections would secretly send heavenly treasures to the demon soldiers and generals guarding the gates of the demon court, begging the gate-guarding demon generals to raise a hand and let them live.
Currently, at the South Heaven Gate, many demon soldiers were using the excuse of family matters to rush home.
No one knew in which remote corner of the Primordial Era their new homes would be.
Just at this moment.
While all the demon gods and demon saints remained silent and dared not speak, Bai Ze, the demon saint, stepped forward and said cautiously:
"Your Majesty, the matter of exterminating nine generations... is simply unrealistic."
"The Primordial World is too vast. Those demon soldiers and generals have found remote places to settle their clans at will, dispersing into small groups. We cannot find them in a short period of time..."
Di Jun stared coldly at Bai Ze, the madness in his eyes making Bai Ze tremble with fear.
