Human Clan Defender-Chapter 713 - s Difficult Decisions, The Moment for the Rise of Great Liang (Four-in-One for Monthly Tickets) _2

"But the Demon Evil Clan was not truly annihilated. They exist in the Outer Heaven, coveting this realm constantly. However, because a seal exists, they are unable to freely enter.

However, the strength of the seal depends on the potency of the Heaven and Earth Destiny. The deaths of myriad beings in Great Zhou dealt a heavy blow to the destiny of the Human Clan, which in turn severely damaged the Heaven and Earth Destiny.

Now, the Seal Strength has weakened. In perhaps another ten or twenty years, the powerhouses of the Demon Evil Clan will truly descend.

At that time, if the Human Clan lacks sufficient strength to resist, this realm will be utterly annihilated."

Shen Changqing's gaze was profound, unwavering.

"In the eyes of the Demon Evil Clan, all beings in this realm, be they members of the Human Clan or natural disasters, are viewed identically.

When they arrive, if we can resist them, that's best; if we cannot, then there's only one path left: death.

Therefore, I do not wish to weaken the powers within Heaven and Earth unnecessarily. The power of natural disasters is also a part of the forces of Heaven and Earth. If Emperor Zhou can grow stronger, it will be of great benefit to Heaven and Earth in the future.

Thus, Emperor Zhou should understand that I have no need to act against you."

Mu Shentong remained silent, digesting the information he had just heard.

Truthfully, he was completely unaware of the secrets Shen Changqing spoke of.

Even though Great Zhou had existed for a long time, it was still a far cry from the Ancient Times.

In the Ancient Times, many things had already vanished into the dust of history.

Even as the Emperor of Great Zhou, he knew very little.

Otherwise, he would not have fallen for the Ghost Saint's deceit, ultimately dying from the backlash of resentment.

After a moment, Mu Shentong spoke with an indifferent expression, "My Great Zhou has not received even a fraction of such news. How did you come by it? Are you trying to deceive me?"

"Although all Ancient Powerhouses have fallen, their remnant souls linger. If Emperor Zhou can leave this Domain one day, you may go to Qingming to investigate. However, that senior may no longer be there by then," Shen Changqing shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Mu Shentong fell silent.

The information the other party shared was somewhat unexpected.

But on second thought, it seemed plausible.

The fact that neither Demon Evil nor Defender Envoys could enter the Ancient Ruins already indicated certain problems.

Furthermore, the Demon Evil had descended suddenly, without any prior warning.

He then recalled how the Ghost Saint had previously deceived him, urging him to sacrifice all living beings in Great Zhou.

In the past, Mu Shentong had not understood the Ghost Saint's purpose.

But now, he vaguely understood.

"Good. As long as you do not encroach upon Great Zhou, then I will not lift a hand against Great Qin."

In the end, Mu Shentong chose to agree.

Currently, he had no other choice.

Agreeing could, to some extent, reduce his enemies by one.

If he disagreed, he wouldn't be able to stop the other party anyway.

Instead of this, it was more straightforward to simply agree.

Upon hearing this, a hint of a smile appeared on Shen Changqing's face. "Emperor Zhou will not regret today's decision. Furthermore, I will tell you another secret.

The Domain you possess is actually the embryonic form of a Divine Kingdom. Once you truly forge a Divine Kingdom, you will have power equivalent to a Divine King Realm powerhouse.

What is a Divine King? That is an existence even more powerful than Demon Saints, or even the Demon Gods who are a level above them.

But to forge a Divine Kingdom, there's a requirement: you need sufficient Power of Faith.

Emperor Zhou has control over the resentment of Great Zhou's myriad beings. If you can transform that resentment into spiritual nature and release it all, then the former people of Great Zhou could be reborn, granting you ample Power of Faith.

At that time, your strength will advance by leaps and bounds."

At this point, Shen Changqing did not wait for a reply but cupped his fists slightly.

"Since matters here are concluded, I shall not linger. Farewell."

Having said this, he turned and departed.

From the imperial throne, Mu Shentong stared at Shen Changqing's retreating figure. Flecks of crimson flickered in his eyes intermittently before they returned to normal.

Ultimately, he withdrew his gaze, his expression becoming inscrutable.

"Divine King Realm, Divine Kingdom, Power of Faith... Such cunning methods. What choice are you trying to make me face?"

After much thought, Mu Shentong shook his head slightly.

Releasing his own resentment was equivalent to abandoning his advantage of being immortal and indestructible.

But he wasn't sure if he could truly increase his strength as the other party claimed.

If it was false, then he would have forsaken his greatest advantage.

However, what if it was true?

Mu Shentong could tell there was very little chance Shen Changqing was lying.

Because of this, he was so conflicted.

「—」

Having left the Great Zhou Capital, Shen Changqing encountered no obstacles.

Upon receiving news of the natural disaster in Great Zhou, he had rushed over without delay.

As it turned out, the situation of Great Zhou's natural disaster was far worse than he had imagined.

The fallen Great Zhou Emperor, Mu Shentong, had been reborn, becoming a true natural disaster.

Not only had he awakened his memories, but his strength had also increased by leaps and bounds.

Shen Changqing felt that if Mu Shentong actually attempted what he had suggested, his strength would likely skyrocket.

However, even so, Mu Shentong couldn't possibly improve faster than him.

On the contrary, if Mu Shentong did so, he would forsake his greatest advantage.

In that case, if Mu Shentong truly decided to move against Great Qin, dealing with him wouldn't be overly troublesome.
