Chapter 1445: Chapter 1045: It’s a Notice, Not a Negotiation_2

On that day, after Yan Xuan’s ascension, he manifested before the people and warned the cultivators, mentioning that the cultivation of demon beasts should take place in harsh environments to temper themselves.

However, the demon race had forcibly taken the comfortable Wilderness from the human race as their habitat. The overly comfortable environment prevented the demon beasts from gaining adequate training, leading to generations worse than the last. Moreover, they recklessly proliferated inferior seeds and wantonly damaged the overall environment of this world, causing the Wilderness to be overburdened and on the verge of collapse.

If things are not set right now, the Wilderness will completely crumble, and then countless beings will face utter catastrophe."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Bai understood completely, "Mr. Jiang’s intention is to have demon beasts and demon cultivators leave the Wilderness and return it to the human race, to set things right."

Dealing with smart, clear-headed people is truly a relief.

Jiang Yuan nodded in agreement: "Exactly, merely relocating is not enough; demon beasts are relatively easier. But the grudges and conflicts among demon cultivators are too many, and this opportunity should be used to thoroughly settle them. Otherwise, even if it’s returned to the human race, it would be a broken world full of holes, which would be too unfair to them."

If we calculate carefully, from the moment the demon race formally expelled the human race from the Wilderness World until now, countless resources enjoyed by demon beasts and demon cultivators have been based on the plundering of the human race.

Past matters can’t be calculated, but preventing the illegal from taking away unexpected wealth is to recover the last bit of loss.

"Hmm, in this sense, it seems reasonable." Jiang Bai sipped his tea, hesitating slightly: "So... the Great Demon Beast’s exchange of minerals for cultivation resources must also be prohibited, though doing so might cause trouble."

Demon beasts are inherently ill-tempered, and even after cultivating into a Great Demon Beast, they still differ from demon cultivators, being heavier in beast nature and harder to manage.

If they are forced to interrupt years of trading and cut off cultivation resources, causing a commotion, even with the Power of Heaven and Earth, it would be tough to suppress so many troublesome creatures simultaneously.

Having a Divine Beast intervene would naturally work, but it’s unknown if the Black Tortoise would involve itself in mundane affairs.

Jiang Yuan waved his hand and said, "No, no, Lord Jiang misunderstood. Normal trading can still proceed, but it requires your guarantee, confirming that both parties are engaging in legitimate trade without any hidden underhanded deals.

As long as you can assure this, you can use the Otherworld Teleportation Array at the Demon Realm Alliance Headquarters.

The plan to set things right should proceed step by step, not be a one-size-fits-all approach. Otherwise, if those big creatures start causing trouble, which might lead to heaven-shattering and earth-shaking destruction, it would be even more detrimental to the already burdened Wilderness."

These words put Jiang Bai’s mind at ease again.

Setting things right is logical, given how long the demon race has occupied the Wilderness. For the human race to reclaim it without causing rivers of blood to flow, like in the past, shows an incredibly benevolent heart.

Moreover, with the support of the Four Symbols Divine Beast, who is he, a mere small lord, to defy the grand trend of the Heavenly Dao?

"There is one more thing I do not understand, may I seek your guidance, sir?" Jiang Bai, filled with concern, stated: "By a stroke of fortune, I gained recognition from the heavens to serve as a lord, bearing many responsibilities. But in summary, only one thing matters: maintaining peace and stability within my jurisdiction.

Since their transformation, demon cultivators tend to become more inclined towards humanity.

Hence, they build cities, pursue food and fashion, naturally giving rise to organizations like the Demon Realm Alliance, sects, and noble families that govern and constrain each other.

Internally, demon cultivators have their own operational logic and habits, generally not causing big troubles, allowing lords to mostly let them be. Only in cases of heaven-shattering wars that even Great Demon Cultivators can’t stop would a lord intervene;

But demon beasts are different; their beast nature and inclination towards slaughter are more intense, making the situation more complicated.

Therefore, lords and their subordinates can only focus on managing demon beasts, especially during the transition between day and night, ensuring both sides remain undisturbed. At night, they need to fold the mountains to lock and stabilize the Great Demon Beasts; in the day, handling their disputes and frictions is necessary.

In short, not many demon cultivators are foolish; they all seek benefits and avoid harm. A thousand demon cultivators gathered will have ten thousand thoughts, restraining each other to avoid major troubles;

Demon beasts, however, are the opposite. They engage in fights even without reason, and the more they gather, the more problems arise. An out-of-control Great Demon Beast’s damage is not as simple as losing one or two demon cultivator cities.

If not careful, it can even destroy an entire mountain range, with countless lives injured and killed!

Almost all demon beasts that have gained intelligence still cultivate using techniques created by the human race, but for some reason, they cannot transform into human form.

Your plan to set things right requires both demon beasts and demon cultivators to leave the Wilderness.

Demon cultivators are easier to manage; whether they go to Otherworld for business or find their own way of life, they can at least integrate into familiar environments and circles, using their smarts and abilities to survive.

But what about the demon beasts?

Though they possess intelligence, it’s insufficient to support handling complex livelihoods. Demon beasts have traditionally survived by battling and claiming territories, or by directly consuming the resources within their domain; or by exchanging resources for what they need.

With such a massive migration of demon beasts from the Wilderness, not to mention whether they can afford the teleportation costs, even if they can reach the Otherworld smoothly, it might lead to countless wars and unrest."

Seeking a livelihood for all creatures within the jurisdiction is the duty of a lord.

Jiang Bai knows her capabilities are limited; she cannot reach the heavens above, nor can she barely maintain stability below.

She needs to know the entire plan to ensure every race has a safe retreat path, preventing them from being massacred by the natives of the Otherworld once they leave the Wilderness World, which would be her significant negligence.
