I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

Changes occur in all parts of the world; all kinds of boundaries witness tumultuous shifts.

For the tribes of the Human Clan on the southern lands, this has instead provided a rare chance to catch their breath.

In the eyes of the Young Venerable of the Wind Spirit Tribe, this is an opportunity for the development of the Human Clan's thirty-six tribes.

In her view, if it weren't for the chaos in various regions, the lands where these thirty-six tribes dwell would likely face a collective assault from countless Gods and Demons, ultimately leading to their extinction!

Moreover, this matter's influence will surely be long-lasting!

In the years to come, humans across various regions will be subjected to even harsher monitoring from the Alien Race, to prevent the emergence of a stronger force within the Human Clan!

After all, for this era, humans can only be considered Blood Food!

To stifle the emergence of powerful humans and ensure that this race, which is most spiritually attuned and aids cultivation greatly, remains eternally as Blood Food is a shared understanding among all Alien Races.

Once food possesses the power to resist, it is no longer mere food, but a formidable enemy!

Even those Demons, lacking high intelligence, share this understanding!

Yet, in the face of this rare respite, the two most powerful figures of the Human Clan do not intend to lay low, seize this chance for development, and prosper calmly.

Instead, they are preparing to head north and seize the territory of the Green Emperor Clan.

This is sure to invite even greater turbulence.

"The Human Clan of the thirty-six tribes has too shallow foundations, and it is not strong enough."

The Young Venerable of the Wind Spirit Tribe whispered, "Even if the two of you are unwilling to conceal your skills and are willing to impart them to the martial artists of the various tribes, allowing them to grow stronger, it is not something that can be achieved overnight."

"Without sufficiently strong foundations, forcibly occupying the territory of the Green Emperor Clan is excessively risky."

"Even if we conquer it, I'm afraid it will be hard to hold."

"After all, both of you are stretched thin and can only firmly hold two places... As the saying goes, the bigger the tree, the more wind it attracts; the larger the territory, the more it needs strong individuals to guard it."

"In the face of formidable Alien Races, apart from you two, which individual of the Human Clan could be called powerful?"

She softly said, "I still believe that we should stabilize these thirty-six tribes and strengthen the foundation."

"Young Venerable of the Wind Spirit Tribe, you must understand one thing."

Shangguan Shang said sternly, "In this era, Gods and Demons reign supreme, evil spirits abound, and the only reason the Human Clan hasn't been exterminated is because the Alien Races treat us as Blood Food for breeding!"

"And within the Human Clan, there are often those who deviate, whose bodies lose control and transform into evil spirits."

"Within the Deceit Night, new Demons and Evil Spirits are constantly being born."

"You wish to seize the opportunity for development, even if we are given a hundred years, resulting in the emergence of countless strong individuals within the thirty-six tribes, and the population grows tenfold or a hundredfold..."

After a pause, Shangguan Shang said, "During this century, many God and Demon races, along with various demons and evil spirits, will give birth to a thousandfold or tenfold number of strong individuals, deriving countless more..."

"Moreover, brief turmoil won't grant us a century of peace; within a short span, how strong can these thirty-six tribes become?"

"Speaking fundamentally, the thirty-six tribes have too shallow a foundation."

"Only by conquering the territory of the Green Emperor Clan, holding this realm, and subjugating those humans who are being bred can we expand our foundation!"

"Currently, various Alien Races have focused their energies elsewhere due to temporary disruptions, for what reason?"

His voice fell silent.

The green-clad woman remained silent.

The reason lies in that these thirty-six tribes, although freed from Alien Race control, pose no tremendous threat to the Alien Races.

On the contrary, the disruptions in other directions may pose immense threats.

"Despite having slain the former leader of the Green Emperor Clan, shocking all parties, that old fellow, after all, has retired from the Emperor's Throne and is no longer an ultimate strong figure!"

Shangguan Shang said solemnly, "In reality, the leader of the Emperor clan has yet to truly take us seriously; hence the 'breathing room' you see!"

"But if we wish to continue growing stronger, the various Alien Races will not grant us any 'breathing room.'"

"The so-called development and strengthening is essentially a dead-end!"

"As soon as there's a hint of growth, the ten Emperor clans will abandon other directions and focus solely on us!"

Shangguan Shang said, "The thirty-six tribes have too shallow a foundation! Conquering the territory of the Green Emperor Clan will provide a sufficiently robust foundation! After all, in the path of strengthening, we will inevitably encounter siege; this calamity cannot be avoided... We can only choose to face the siege with greater territory, more humans, and stronger foundations, for a slim chance of survival!"

The green-clad woman was silent for a moment, then said, "But this so-called slim chance of survival remains exceedingly tenuous! You might just have seized the Green Emperor's lands and immediately face Alien Race siege, without even a moment to catch your breath!"

Shangguan Shang fell silent for a moment, then looked at Lin Yan.

Lin Yan held the Night Illuminating Divine Sword, speaking firmly as ever, "Conquering the land, I'll handle it!"

"Holding the land is not what I should consider."

"Shangguan Shang, you must also remember one thing..."

Following Lin Yan's voice.

Shangguan Shang appeared solemn.

"I am not the leader of this land; rather, I am a sword charging into battle, and for me, it is solely about slaying the enemy!"

Lin Yan said solemnly, "How to hold onto the land, how to change the mindset of those humans raised as Blood Food, and how to govern this realm in the future, is the post-war issue that you as a leader should consider..."

"Leader..."

Shangguan Shang was silent for a moment.

He had once secretly controlled the situation of the thirty-six tribes, aiming to overthrow the Dragon Head Tribe, eliminating sacrifices, intending to resist Gods and Demons, possessing grand ideals and remarkable talents.

Yet recently, in every storm, Lin Yan stood in the way.
