I only want to win over the fairy.

—Bai Yi, unable to rise again.

"Hey? My disciple, are you alright?"

Completely surprised that Bai Yi collapsed so easily, Qin Xin quickly checked his body and found that he had just drunk too much and had fallen into a deep sleep.

"Ha, haha, you usually act so strong and calm, but you're really bad at drinking."

The elder, feeling very happy, patted Bai Yi's head twice, then pulled him into a hug and began drinking by himself, a joyful smile on his face.

Perhaps it was the alcohol taking effect, but looking at Bai Yi, who had fallen asleep beside her, her lips moved slightly, and a strange light flashed in her eyes.

But the next moment, she shook her head and continued drinking alone.

This small, hard-won happiness already made her very happy. She didn't ask for more. Besides, her apprentice was so outstanding, and his future wife would surely be the most outstanding person in the world. Why should she hinder his future?

[You were drugged by the Grand Elder and have passed out...]

The Grand Elder is just too skilled; we can't hold on, we simply can't hold on!

Bai Yi was truly excited at this moment. Just looking at the text displayed on the simulator made him start to imagine the wonderful scene of him getting close to the Grand Elder.

The white-haired, red-eyed demoness elder is a perfect fit for my taste.

But you clearly said before that you were going to win over Master Xiao Jinxuan, and you had already made a promise. Wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate to suddenly go back on your word now?

The next moment, Bai Yi slammed his fist on his thigh, inwardly wishing he could slap himself: "Bai Yi, Bai Yi, how could you be so depraved? If you like someone, you like them. How can you let yourself be bound by unnecessary emotions!"

"People live for the sake of the Grand Elder!"

The next day, you wake up to find yourself not in your own room, but in a cold, empty bedroom. You try to get up, but find a heavy object pressing down on you, preventing you from rising.

You look around and find the Elder pinning you down, using you as a pillow in his arms, rubbing against you from time to time, drooling. You feel quite helpless, but you can't break free, so you can only lie down.

After the Grand Elder awoke, you thought she would let go of you, but unexpectedly, when you made a request, she hugged you even closer and teased you with suggestive jokes, making you blush even more. The Grand Elder, on the other hand, seemed quite pleased with your shyness.

From then on, it was as if the Grand Elder had opened the door to a new world. She would constantly tease you whenever you were free. Your existence was like a remedy to alleviate her loneliness, making her long-dead heart beat again.

Occasionally, she'll act like a young girl, playfully complaining that she's tired, like not wanting to walk and asking you to carry her; saying dressing is too much trouble and asking you to help her; or saying bathing is too much trouble and asking you to help her shower, etc. You always grant these unreasonable requests.

[Unconsciously, you two seem to have ceased to be master and disciple, but rather developed a closer, more intimate relationship.]

Chapter 67 Let's shout together! Grand Elder! The Best!

Elder! You're the best!

Grand Elder! The best!

Come on, shout with me! Elder! The best!

Bai Yi was quite pleased with the fact that his relationship with Qin Xin, the Grand Elder of the Eternal Night Cult, continued to heat up during the simulation. He felt as happy as a future demon who had personally watched a "snowball fight" live.

In June of the 1153rd year of the Wanxian Calendar, a conflict broke out between the Eternal Night Sect and the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect. A fierce battle ensued, but fortunately, there were no major casualties. The following month, the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect claimed that the Eternal Night Sect had captured their Holy Son and demanded that the Eternal Night Sect hand him over, or they would slaughter the entire Eternal Night Sect.

[The Wanfa Immortal Sect, believing the Eternal Night Sect was slandering them, immediately launched a counterattack. During the conflict, a newly promoted elder of the Wanfa Immortal Sect died. The Wanfa Immortal Sect immediately accused the Eternal Night Sect of being an unforgivable demonic sect and, under the banner of "eliminating demons and upholding justice," rallied righteous sects across the land to form the "Demon Extermination Alliance," vowing to exterminate all demonic sects.]

Within just a few days, numerous immortal sects, including Buddhism, Kunlun Ruins, and the Thousand Crane Sect, responded, and a wave of demon-slaying swept across the Nine Provinces.

In July of the 1153rd year of the Wanxian Calendar, numerous demonic sects, including the Blissful Sect, the Desire Realm, and the Blood Raven Cult, were destroyed.

In August of the 1153rd year of the Wanxian Calendar, the Spirit Puppet Sect, a subordinate sect of the Eternal Night Cult, was destroyed, and many of its branches were wiped out.

In September of the 1153rd year of the Wanxian Calendar, the Second Branch of the Eternal Night Sect was annihilated, with no survivors. The branch's leader, Quan Hong, the Third Elder of the Eternal Night Sect, was also killed.

Bai Yi, who was still cultivating a relationship with the Grand Elder, suddenly changed his expression as he watched the constant stream of messages.

This is just like when I'm playing Stellaris, and a bunch of unruly people keep rebelling at the drop of a hat!

Unfortunately, this isn't a planetary system, and these people aren't on planets I've occupied. Otherwise, I could have given them a 99% tax rate, and they wouldn't have had any extra resources to rebel.

"This group came prepared, and they even made a point of using the banner of eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path. This is a bit troublesome."

These people came for the Eternal Night Cult from the start, probably with the aim of killing me as soon as possible, or testing whether I still have the strength to ascend to the Great Emperor.

That's quite a clever plan. If I don't have the ability to reach the pinnacle of enlightenment, they can simply use my status as a demon to eliminate me. At that point, the Xuantian Sect will have nothing to say, since these people are fighting to eliminate demons and uphold justice.

If they had the ability to achieve ultimate sublimation, they wouldn't be at a loss. After all, an emperor who has lived a new life has not yet recovered to his peak state, and he hasn't even reached the Dao Integration Realm. Every time he uses ultimate sublimation, he is consuming his origin. Even a supreme being, without divine medicine, cannot withstand the damage caused by two ultimate sublimations within a few years. Moreover, in their eyes, he is just a "reincarnated body." Once his origin is damaged, he may never be able to recover.

"Tsk, I didn't want to do this, after all, I am a human, but you forced me to."

With the power of the demonic path alone, it is simply not enough to contend with these righteous paths. But Bai Yi did not say that he relied solely on himself and the demonic path. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. It is reasonable to borrow the power of other races.

The combination of a pure-blooded phoenix and the destiny of the demon race is considered by the demon race to be of equal importance to the Xuanyuan bloodline and the Human Emperor's Sword.

You draw the Emperor's Sword, which you had briefly sealed away, and ask it if it would be willing to go crazy with you just once.

"Now, the immortal sects, who claim to be the righteous path of humanity, want to kill me. The demonic path is no match for them. I need the power of the demon race to fight them." You, who didn't want the Emperor's Sword to be stained with human blood, still chose to draw it again.

"Your Majesty, I understand you. If I could, I wouldn't want my power to be used for internal strife within the human race. This land has already suffered far too much misfortune; I don't want any more to arise. But sometimes, people must make unavoidable choices. Even the Human Emperor needs to eliminate some of the treacherous elements within humanity to ensure its healthy development. So draw your sword." The Human Emperor's Sword understands that you don't want her stained with human blood, but more than that, she doesn't want to see the future leader of humanity assassinated by a group of treacherous individuals.

In September of the 1153rd year of the Wanxian Calendar, the Demon Extermination Alliance, with unstoppable momentum, launched a massive offensive against the Eternal Night Sect, vowing to annihilate the sect's leader and restore peace and order to the world.

In October of the 1153rd year of the Wanxian Calendar, the Human Emperor's Sword temporarily retreated, while the Demon Emperor's Sword returned to the world. In the same month, a legendary celestial beast, the Phoenix, descended to earth. Wielding the Demon Emperor's Sword, she commanded all the demon races under heaven. The demon races of the Nine Provinces responded one after another, expressing their willingness to submit to the True Phoenix Demon Emperor.

In November of the 1153rd year of the Wanxian Calendar, the Demonic Sect and the Demon Race temporarily joined forces and decisively defeated the attacking demon-slaying army, causing a sensation throughout the Nine Provinces.

Following this battle, the morale of both the demon race and the demonic cult soared.

Seeing this, Bai Yi shrugged. If these so-called righteous people were determined to go to extremes, then he had no choice but to cut off their supply.

However, unlike those historical records where some humans allowed the demon race to enter for their own benefit, his choice to join forces with the demon race was not to allow the demon race to take the lead, but rather for him to take the lead.

When all this is over, the demon race will defeat these immortal sects, but the victor will not be them, but the human race.

After your great victory, you seek out Yu Gonghua, who has successfully transformed into a phoenix.

"How does it feel to become the Demon Emperor?" you ask.

"It's much better than being left alone, watching my power and essence slowly drain away, and finally waiting to die," Yu Gonghua replied excitedly. Having transformed into a phoenix, she was full of enthusiasm for everything around her.

"I thought you would be quite resistant. You must know that the price you pay for using that sword is that the demonic energy within you will be completely integrated into the Human Emperor Sword. Even if you eventually advance to the Great Emperor level and become a true Demon Emperor, the demon race will no longer be able to rule the Nine Provinces."

"What do I have to do with the demon race?" Yu Gonghua asked, puzzled. "I am a born holy spirit, and the demon race has never shown me any kindness. The only kindness they showed me was by guiding you to me through that aura of fortune. But that help was utterly insignificant; in fact, it harmed me to some extent. Compared to the demon race, your kindness to me is the most important. You gave me a chance to be reborn, and you gave me the opportunity to transform into a celestial beast. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have died in that desolate place. So I will repay your kindness. Whatever you need me to do, I will agree."

Born as a holy spirit, nurtured by heaven and earth, even if it transforms into a phoenix, it is still just a member of the demon race in the eyes of the demon race.

Even the rumor that dragons and phoenixes are the leaders of all demons is more often than not just the so-called demon race trying to glorify themselves. Dragons and phoenixes never need the demon race to prove their worth; on the contrary, the demon race needs to prove the legitimacy of dragons and phoenixes.

The phoenix is ​​a celestial beast; why should the demon race acknowledge it?

Chapter 68 Feather Palace Flower: Demon Race? Just Pure Waste Material

[Yu Gonghua trusts you immensely and grants almost all your requests. Under your influence, more and more demons are submitting to her, including more than half of the powerful ancient demons.]

[To fight against the righteous path and band together for mutual support, countless members of the demonic path have also gathered in the Eternal Night Sect, supporting each other with these demonic races. In a short time, your power has far surpassed that of the nine great immortal sects, and even a coalition of half of the nine great immortal sects would be enough to fight against you.]

In a short period of time, the entire cultivation world saw the Eternal Night Sect showing a trend of rapid growth.

[You weren't particularly happy about this news because you knew that the power of the demon race was too great, and sooner or later it would cause panic throughout the human race. The Human Emperor's Palace would inevitably step in, using the spirit of the Human Emperor to rally the world and confront the demon race led by Yu Gonghua. Besides, these demons weren't of one mind with you; you were only temporarily coexisting because of a common enemy. Once a problem arose, these demons would betray you faster than anyone else.]

In May of the 1154th year of the Wanxian Calendar, the Wanfa Immortal Sect petitioned the Human Emperor's Palace, requesting the extermination of the demon race, the reclaiming of human territories seized by the demons, and the execution of human traitors such as the Eternal Night Sect. Their request was granted.

[In June of the 1154th year of the Wanxian Calendar, Qiu Yuelian sent you a letter expressing her concerns and detailing the current world situation. She urged you not to become too involved with the demon race, as this could bring you annihilation. The letter also contained a token from the Palace Master of the Human Emperor's Palace, which allows you to join the palace at any time and enjoy treatment equivalent to that of a Holy Maiden.]

Should I leave the Eternal Night Cult and join the Human Emperor's Palace?

Bai Yi looked at the prompt on the simulator and clicked "Reject". He had already come this far, how could he stop? Besides, what would the Grand Elder do if he joined the Human Emperor Palace?

Will the Emperor's Palace allow the Grand Elder to join as well?

That's obviously impossible. The Grand Elder is a notorious villain in the cultivation world. The Human Emperor Palace is already being lenient by not killing her; how could they possibly take her in?

Even if the Grand Elder and I joined the Human Emperor's Palace, once the demon race was destroyed and the demonic path was eradicated, would those immortal sects allow me and the Grand Elder to live peacefully?

He would probably submit a memorial directly stating that he and the Grand Elder were remnants of the demonic path and traitors of the human race who collaborated with the demon race. In that case, he would die whether he lived or died.

It is foolish to hand over the power that can fight the enemy.

[You rejected Qiu Yuelian's proposal. You believe that unless these insect-like immortal sects are eliminated, the cultivation world will remain in darkness, and in this darkness, there will be no place for you, nor for those you wish to protect. Therefore, you will resist at all costs.]

[In August of the 1154th year of the Ten Thousand Immortals Calendar, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, led by the Human Emperor's Palace and uniting thousands of immortal sects across the Nine Provinces, was formed. Its sword was aimed at the demon race and the demonic path. The combined power of humanity is awe-inspiring; the combined strength of the demon race and the demonic path alone is simply insufficient to contend with this force.]

Feeling hopeless about the future, you believe that dividing your enemies is the only way out. However, even after dividing your enemies, you still have to be wary of the demon race that might rebel. Under all this pressure, you are physically and mentally exhausted. Yu Gonghua notices your fatigue and comes to comfort you every day, trying to help you relax. Your affection for each other increases.

The following month, the Myriad Immortals Alliance launched an attack.

Hey, hey, hey, you guys are impersonating me, aren't you!

When the ancient demon race invaded the Nine Provinces, you were completely different. How come you're all so united and brave now? Were you all just acting to mess with my mentality before?!

Bai Yi couldn't understand why the human race was so united. Why didn't you immortal sects seal yourselves off?

I am subservient to the enemy, but I strike hard against my allies.

I really admire you!

Fortunately, the more you act like this, the happier I am when I kill you. After all, stupid teammates are more hateful than godlike opponents. In the last game, you were teammates. Although you were stupid, I didn't kill you because you were allies and we were all Terran. But now, I'm going to ruthlessly rip you out!

[In the same month, Yu Gonghua suddenly led 100,000 demons in a surprise attack on the headquarters of the Myriad Immortals Alliance. Both sides suffered heavy casualties, with more than half of the demons' elite forces lost.]

Three days later, Yu Gonghua rallied her forces and led a squad of thirteen ancient demon clan powerhouses in a surprise attack on the Wanfa Immortal Sect and several other immortal sects. This resulted in the death of the Wanfa Immortal Sect's leader, seven elders, and one Grand Elder. Simultaneously, more than half of the elders from dozens of first-rate immortal sects were killed or wounded. Of the thirteen demon clan powerhouses, eleven died, and one used a forbidden technique, resulting in the complete destruction of his spiritual root, meridians, and cultivation.

Two months later, Yu Gonghua announced to the remaining demons that the human race's strength was nearly exhausted, and that victory was within reach with just a little more effort. She then assembled nearly twenty armies and launched a new offensive against the Wanxian Alliance, which had been recuperating after numerous battles. The campaign ended in a devastating victory, with over 100,000 demon soldiers sacrificing themselves and 90% of the Wanxian Alliance's strength being wiped out.

Following this battle, many immortal sects of the human race seemed to have grown afraid of the demon race's momentum of killing eight hundred enemies while losing two thousand of their own, and chose to withdraw from the Myriad Immortals Alliance and close their sects.

[Having achieved a brief victory, you sat chatting with the Grand Elder and Yu Gonghua. Yu Gonghua kept engaging you in conversation, her face beaming with smiles. Although, thanks to your intervention, the war was confined to the realms of demons and human immortals, without affecting the mortal world, you felt no joy at the casualties inflicted by the war between the demons and the Myriad Immortals Alliance. There were no winners in this battle; both the demons and the Myriad Immortals Alliance suffered heavy losses, especially the demons, who were almost completely exhausted.]

You have a vague feeling that something is wrong with Yu Gonghua, but you can't quite put your finger on it.

The other person seems overly concerned about what I say.

[You buried this doubt and worry deep in your heart. Now, the Myriad Immortals Alliance and the Demon Race have suffered heavy losses, while the demonic forces, led by the Eternal Night Sect, have retained considerable strength. This is a rare opportunity.]

Bai Yi pinched his chin, looked at the text on the simulation, and fell into a brief state of contemplation.

Upon closer reflection, Yu Gonghua is indeed problematic. Her actions are clearly too extreme. Leading the demon race to raid the enemy's main base is tantamount to suicide, yet she seems to enjoy doing it relentlessly, almost like...

This would simultaneously weaken both the demon race and the human race.

No way!
