Chapter 1174 -1122-1123 Imperial Clan King’s Clan_2

Of course, this was also to be expected. If the Holy Fruit really could be produced without limit, then the Golden Bimong Tribe could rely solely on the cumulative effect of thirty-six Holy Fruits to ensure the emergence of three to four Supreme Strong Demon Kings every nine thousand years. In a few tens of thousands of years, the number of the tribe’s Supreme Strong Demon Kings might very well rival the total of the entire Demon Race, making them the undisputed Overlords of the Demon Race.

In such a case, this Divine Object would definitely not remain in their hands but would have provoked the envy and oppression of the other tribes and even the human race from the outset, at the very least not remaining solely under the control of the Golden Bimong Tribe.

Even now, of the thirty-six ripe Holy Fruits that the tree yields every nine thousand years, the Golden Bimong Tribe is only able to keep eighteen. The other eighteen must be released to be shared and contested by other tribes.

This is their compromise. Of course, the Golden Bimong Tribe isn’t the only one that has to do this. Other tribes that possess similar Divine Objects are also required to share a part with other tribes of the Demon Race.

For example, the Heavenly Ape Clan holds the inheritance of the Pan Peach Tree, which is a Divine Object that can help one break through to the Strongest Realm. However, even as domineering as the Heavenly Ape Clan is, they could not monopolize it against the will of the entire Demon Race, and they need to share a part.

The same goes for the Golden Crow Clan that possesses the Fusang Wood, the Lunar Rabbit Clan with its Laurel Tree, among others… These racial tribes have made the same choice.

And as one of the tribes that has shared these Holy Objects with other clans of the Demon Race, the Golden Bimong Tribe, Heavenly Ape Clan, Golden Crow Clan, and Lunar Rabbit Clan, they also have a certain priority when it comes to exchanging these Holy Objects.

Indeed, it is the existence of these Holy Objects that has ensured the inheritance of the Golden Bimong Clan. Even if they can’t compete for the Divine Objects of other tribes, relying solely on their own eighteen Holy Fruits, and betting on the chances, they will have at least one Supreme Strong Demon King of the Golden Bimong Clan in the Spirit Realm Eightfold as long as they’re not exceptionally unlucky, allowing them to have Supreme Strong Demon Kings sit in their lineage generation after generation and to continue standing at the very top tier among the Demon Race.

Even during certain eras, they broke through to three Supreme Strong Demon Kings thanks to the Holy Object, bringing the number of such beings in their clan to as many as six or seven. During those times, the Golden Bimong Tribe reached its zenith and even held the position of the Demon Emperor.

“It’s just a pity that time and fate were not on our side. During our most prosperous period, the Immortal Path did not appear. If it had, we would have had the opportunity to seize the position of the Demon Emperor and become a true Demon Emperor clan,” the Clan Leader of the Golden Bimong Tribe’s eyes flickered with a trace of regret. Now, they were not without opportunities. A chance to change the current situation of the Golden Bimong Tribe was right before their eyes.

The Holy Tree, which the Golden Bimong Tribe has inherited for thousands of years, has undergone an abnormal change, or to be more precise, an evolution.

It blooms every three thousand years, bears fruit every three thousand years, and ripens every three thousand years.

It was just the time for the Holy Tree’s fruits to continue ripening, but at that time, Heaven and Earth Ascension happened, and countless strings of Creation Profound Mystery descended. The revered Holy Tree absorbed who knows how many of these Creation Profound Mysteries, allowing it to evolve yet again.

The fruits, which should have ripened and fallen over a hundred years ago, did not drop as expected. Instead, they continued to hang on the tree, absorbing energy and becoming increasingly translucent and crystalline.

This was a reversion in the evolution of the Holy Tree, something the strong within the Golden Bimong Tribe understood.

The Holy Tree in their tribe is a remnant from ancient times, but it is not intact, having been gravely damaged in the past. Otherwise, the efficacy of the Holy Fruits would be much greater.

However, as the heavens and the earth changed, the Holy Tree has managed to survive and has been slowly recovering its original state. Now, as Heaven and Earth Ascend, the descent of Creation Profound Mystery not only enables recovery but may even provide an opportunity for further advancement.

This matter has become a secret of the Golden Bimong Tribe. In their view, even the Holy Fruits from the tree’s past could have remarkable effects, so if they could induce another transformation in the Holy Tree, perhaps its fruit’s efficacy might help them to surge towards the Immortal Path Realm.

By then, a True Immortal Monster God should arise within their clan, allowing them to step into the ranks of the King’s Clan. Even if the Demon Race failed in the War of Sealing Gods, they would have no worries whatsoever.

The failure to Enthrone Gods did not spell doom, which was what many in the Demon Race thought.

The True Immortal stood as the strongest being under heaven, and although in the last great battle the one from the human race, Shenxiao True Monarch Pei Xuanjing, possessed the power to suppress True Immortals, many powerful beings saw it as a fluke, simply because he had leveraged the Gods Sealing List, an ultimate divine object.

What’s more, now that the Demon Race had forged the Demon Summoning Banner, another ultimate divine object capable of contending with the Gods Sealing List, they no longer feared being suppressed.

Therefore, even if the human race truly held the upper hand in the War of Sealing Gods, and even if the Demon Race were to fail in the end, these races with True Immortals and Monster Gods need not face only obliteration.

Should that day truly come, whether to choose to compromise with the human race or to leave this world altogether, could still prove a better option.

Leaving this world, avoiding the human race, selecting another Land of Life, and then quietly amassing power for a resurgence, or even a counterattack, was not impossible.

In the vast Chaos Void, if there were worlds like the Ancestral Land and Sky Wasteland Realm where life thrived, then surely there must be a third, a fourth, even a fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth world suitable for habitation.

During the era of the Tang Divine Dynasty, when the Ancestral Land fell into decline, both the human race and the Demon Race left the Ancestral Land to find refuge and survival in the Sky Wasteland Realm; now they could just as well find other worlds.

Back then, the strongest beings of both races barely reached the Supreme Strong Realm, yet they could traverse the Chaos Void to other Lands of Life, and now with True Immortal Monster Gods, the Demon Race could certainly replicate the feat.

Cowardice might be shameful, but it is indeed useful.

If the Demon Race were driven into a corner with no other choice, under the relentless assault of the human race, they would naturally choose to fight to the bitter end, resisting desperately, even if it meant spilling the last drop of their blood; they would not shrink back.

But the present Demon Race had alternatives, and with the power of True Immortal Monster Gods, they could certainly protect their tribes and traverse the Chaos Void to seek other Lands of Life.

The human race’s might is momentary, and with time, upon finding a new Land of Life and accumulating strength over thousands of years, they might have a chance to make a comeback.

Hence, the existence of True Immortal Monster Gods pertains not only to their current status but also to whether they have a future retreat.

The entire Golden Bimong Tribe had paid a considerable price over the past hundred-plus years, depleting their heritage and focusing all their efforts on the Holy Tree, all for the fruit that could help them break the shackles of the Immortal Path.

Little did the Clan Leader of the Golden Bimong Tribe expect that the Holy Tree and Holy Fruit they had nurtured at great cost had caught the attention of others, with some intent on seizing their fruits of labor.

Guided by the divine abilities of Thousand Miles Eye and Downwind Ear, Pang Hong and the Mo Family Four Brothers quietly avoided the Demon Race’s numerous defenses and arrived at a valley just outside the Golden Bimong Tribe.

Along the way, they had been continuously refining their plan to ensure the smooth completion of their subsequent actions.

For this operation, they had all made significant sacrifices, revealing almost all their strengths without reservations, and many trump cards had been exposed just to maximize their utility and guarantee the plan’s success.
