Chapter 36 The Big Wedding

After a moment's thought, Zhao Si decided to continue advancing the plot:

"Having two won't work, and not having any at all is obviously not an option either. Without a marriage alliance, we won't gain the absolute support of the Wu Clan. The ancestors of the three ancient clans alone are no match for the luxurious lineup of quasi-saints in the Heavenly Court. The last defection side story has fully demonstrated this point."

The fact that the ancestors of the three ancient races were able to fight against the Heavenly Court for several eons in the side story before being suppressed shows that they were indeed powerful, with at least several quasi-saints among them.

However, they were clearly no match for the Heavenly Court. After struggling for several eons, they could not escape the fate of being suppressed.

In other words, if Zhao wanted Jin Bing to stand up and speak confidently in the face of the top-tier combat power of Emperor Jun's Heavenly Court, then he had to involve the Twelve Ancestral Witches:

The twelve Ancestral Witches can go toe-to-toe with Quasi-Saints like Di Jun, and the old guys from the three ancient races can withstand the Heavenly Court for several Yuanhui. With the two sides combined, their top-level strength on paper is already greater than that of the Heavenly Court!

What?

You're saying these are all external reinforcements? They don't represent the true fighting strength of the human race?

It doesn't matter, it's free anyway, might as well invite them. Inviting some quasi-saints as consumables won't cause any loss to the human race...

Is it possible to turn back time and choose a different path in life?

"yes!"

Time has turned back...

Faced with the issue of marriage alliance with Dijiang, what would you choose?

"Choose A, I agree!"

[You chose option A, meaning you agree. So, in your past life you captured me and made me suffer in heaven; now you're in my hands... Hehehehehehehe!]

You readily agreed to the marriage, and both sides were delighted with the outcome.

Soon, news of the marriage alliance between the human and witch tribes spread throughout the primordial world, astonishing all the demons. They could hardly believe that, given the human race's rebellious and universally condemned nature, the witch tribe would dare to openly form a marriage alliance with them—an alliance that meant a union!

[As a result, the Wu tribe was quickly labeled as "traitors," with the most extreme groups of demons directly denouncing the Wu tribe and unilaterally removing them from the demon register.]

[However, the Wu tribe has never really felt a sense of belonging to the demon race, and has always been discriminated against by the demons because of their rough behavior. Now, they've simply followed the example of the human race, openly breaking away from the demon race and announcing an alliance with the human race!]

Soon after, the grand wedding of Jin Bing, the future Heavenly Emperor and Great Chieftain of the Human Race, and Xuan Ming, the Ancestral Witch of the Witch Clan, was held as scheduled at Shouyang Mountain. The other eleven Ancestral Witches brought many specialties from Buzhou Mountain to offer their congratulations, making a grand and impressive display of their attitude.

Meanwhile, seeing that you have persuaded the most important Twelve Ancestral Witches to become allies, the three ancient races, who had been observing the situation from the sidelines, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now that their strength is sufficient, they will stop playing along!

[The patriarchs of the three ancient races, acting on the orders of their respective ancestors, arrived to offer their congratulations, carrying a vast array of ancient and modern treasures. Their arrival was a grand affair, as if they wanted everyone to know they had sided with the human race.]

[Among them, the True Dragon King of the East Sea also kindly brought your parents along. Your parents are from a humble family and have never seen so many important figures before.]

Now, not only is the overlord-like True Dragon King treating them with utmost courtesy, but the True Phoenix King and the Qilin King also show them great respect. Even the quasi-saint-level ancestral witches, who only appear in legends, greet them with smiles...

[The Golden Dragon Couple, mere Golden Immortals in cultivation: (CPU unresponsive...)]

Feeling as if he were living in a dream, the Golden Flood Dragon King became somewhat arrogant. After the wedding, he boasted to everyone he met about all the grand occasions he had witnessed. "You know the Great Luo Golden Immortal True Dragon King, right? You know the Twelve Quasi-Saint Ancestral Witches, right? I chatted and laughed with them!"

In short, the Golden Flood Dragon King, who had schemed his entire life, looked at you, beaming with joy amidst the crowd, and slowly sighed. His son had achieved so much; what more could he ask for? Only the scheming Heavenly Emperor…

[The Heavenly Emperor? The Heavenly Emperor is furious!!!]

The Wu Clan's shedding of demonic powers finally made the usually composed Emperor Jun unable to remain calm any longer!

The reason he tolerated the demons splitting and slaughtering each other was fundamentally because the human race lacked top-tier combat power. Even if the demons' Grand Luo and Quasi-Saint levels didn't intervene, under the endless sea of ​​demons, no matter how strong the human race was, they would only gradually bleed to their last drop of blood.

However, if a quasi-saint were to stand on the human side, the outcome would be uncertain...

Of course, these weren't actually the most unsettling things for Di Jun. After all, whether it was the old fogies of the three ancient races or the troublesome Twelve Ancestral Witches, they were essentially forces outside the Heavenly Court realigning themselves. For him, anger was indeed present, but frustration was far from infuriating.

But with his ten beloved sons happily feasting at a human wedding banquet, he really couldn't hold back anymore!

Kunpeng, with a strange expression, relayed the latest battle situation regarding the human race to him. When he mentioned that the ten Golden Crow Princes always rushed to the front lines of the two armies during the war between demons and humans, and arrogantly ordered the bewildered demon army to surrender as imperial princes, Di Jun almost spat out a mouthful of blood...

No! I can't rush things!

[Di Jun gritted his teeth inwardly: Jin Bing is just a clown who jumps around unpredictably, and the three ancient clans are old fogies who have long since passed their prime. The only real trouble is those twelve barbarians.]

The opponent's strength on paper is indeed formidable, but... the advantage lies with me!

With a determined clench of his teeth, Di Jun ordered all the powerful beings of the Heavenly Court to exert their combined strength once more, delivering the final straw to the struggling Hongyun Ancestor!

【…】

[In the 373rd year of the Demon Calendar, the 10th cycle and 24th period, the Ancestral Witch Xuanming and the Human Great Chief Jin Bing held their wedding, marking the formal alliance between the Human and Witch Clans. For the first time, the Human faction gained support from a Quasi-Saint level force!]

[In the 374th year of the Demon Calendar, the True Dragon Kings of the four seas—the Azure Dragon Clan of the East Sea, the Crimson Dragon Clan of the South Sea, the White Dragon Clan of the West Sea, and the Black Dragon Clan of the North Sea—publicly announced the dragon race's withdrawal from the demon race and the formation of an alliance with the human race. For the first time, the human race received the collective support of one of the three ancient overlords!]

[In the 374th year of the Demon Calendar, the Second Cycle, Fourth Period, the True Phoenix King of the Southern Volcano publicly announced the Phoenix Clan's withdrawal from the Demon Clan and its alliance with the Human Clan. Two of the three ancient overlords supported the Human Clan!]

[In the 374th year of the Demon Calendar, during the Second Cycle of the Fifth Period, the Qilin King of Qilin Cliff in Central Continent publicly announced that the Qilin Clan had withdrawn from the Demon Clan and formed an alliance with the Human Clan. Thus, all three ancient races had come to the side of the Human Clan!]

The myriad demons of the primordial world stared in disbelief as they shed their demonic forms and possessed humans, but this was not the end of it.

[In the 374th year of the Demon Calendar, during the 2nd cycle and 6th period, the Ten Golden Crow Princes, who had frequently appeared on the demon battlefield to persuade the demons to surrender during the previous cycle, officially declared that the human race and the demon race were equal and on equal footing, and continued to persuade the resisting demons to surrender in the name of the Emperor's Prince.]

[Ten Thousand Demons: ...]

[Everyone here is working their butts off for your father, sacrificing their lives and shedding blood on the battlefield for his ideal of equality for all demons... What's the meaning of you ten brats jumping out to persuade us to surrender?!]

[We were ready to fight to the death, why did Your Highness surrender first?!]

[Where is the Heavenly Emperor? Where is the Sun God? Your son is here demoralizing people, and you're not going to do anything about it? Have you even betrayed the demon race, including the Heavenly Emperor?!]

[In an instant, the morale of the demon race plummeted. Whenever they encountered the human army, they would either kneel down and surrender or flee in panic after only a few battles. The human race won one victory after another on the front lines, continuously capturing demon towns and territories, showing a strong intention to overcome the weak and devour the entire world...]

The demon race suffered a crushing defeat, while the human race fought with ever-increasing courage, and the entire race was filled with optimism! But the more victories they won, the more uneasy you, as the great chieftain of the human race, felt.

Where is Dijun?

[Not only do the demons want to know where he is, but you are also very anxious about it, because you know that the more he doesn't intervene, the worse the situation becomes. The Heavenly Emperor should have already killed Ancestor Hongyun and seized the Primordial Purple Qi. Perhaps he is currently proving his Dao and becoming a saint...]

Given your various acts of betrayal and despicable behavior, you have no doubt that the now-sainted Heavenly Emperor will beat you to your knees and you'll die a horrible death!

"I hope the Heavenly Emperor fails to attain enlightenment!"

You cursed silently.

However, things didn't go as planned. On an ordinary day after the first cycle of fortune, suddenly the heavens and earth resonated, and celestial music resounded throughout the primordial world!

[Flowers rained down from the sky, golden lotuses sprouted from the earth, and purple clouds drifted eastward for thirty thousand miles!]

[You are familiar with all these strange phenomena, but precisely because you are so familiar with them, when you look at this grand, auspicious, and sacred scene, your heart sinks, your hands and feet turn cold, and your mind goes blank...]

"I am Di Jun, and today I attain sainthood!"
