But now that the Lion Emperor has fallen, the Demon Race is like a dragon without a head, and among these surviving True Immortal Monster Gods, if we truly compare strength, everyone is actually quite evenly matched.

So, after the fall of the Lion Emperor, what if some of those Monster Gods were to rise and strive for the esteemed position of the Demon Emperor?

Is it inevitable?

Even though the strength of the Demon Race has greatly diminished, a dying camel is still bigger than a horse, and sitting in the esteemed position of the Demon Emperor, with the remaining Qi Luck of the Demon Race added, would greatly benefit one’s current strength and future cultivation.

The current situation of the Demon Race, if they end up parting on bad terms due to the struggle for the position of Demon Emperor, may lead to their complete and utter disintegration.

The other True Monarch Demon Kings remained silent and noncommittal.

“Fox King, you have the Demon Summoning Banner in your hands, right?” the Rat King’s gaze turned to the Fox King.

At the very moment the Lion Emperor fell, the Demon Summoning Banner had torn through space and landed in the hands of the Fox King.

Whether it was the Lion Emperor’s last burst of power that activated the Demon Summoning Banner, making Shenxiao True Monarch unable to suppress it, or whether Shenxiao True Monarch deliberately let go of the Demon Summoning Banner, in the end, this supreme artifact ended up in the hands of the Demon Race.

“Yes!” Fox King nodded. The fact that the Demon Summoning Banner had fallen into her hands was something that the other True Immortal Monster Gods all witnessed, undeniable.

She was all the more aware that holding the Demon Summoning Banner was a hot potato, bound to attract the covetous glances of other True Immortal Monster Gods.

The Fox King was very clear about her own position. As a True Immortal Monster God, she could serve as an arm of the Demon Emperor, aiding them, but she could not ascend to the position of Demon Emperor herself.

The position of the sovereign of the Demon Race required not only one’s own strength and wisdom but also a powerful tribe to suppress the entire Demon Race.

If one ascended to the position of Demon Emperor but had no one to command, then that would be nothing but a figurehead Demon Emperor, a puppet.

The Fox Clan, though strong among the Demon Race, paled in comparison to the Tiger Clan, the Skywolf Tribe, or the Heavenly Ape Tribe.

“Since Rat King has already made a decision, why not speak plainly? If it seems appropriate, we can proceed with it. The Demon Race can’t afford to be in turmoil now,” said the Peacock King with a slight frown, cutting straight to the point.

The Peacock King was one of the strong contenders for the position of the Demon Emperor. Although the Peacock Tribe was not numerous and their mighty ones were few, he had a close relationship with the Roc King, and as the leaders of the bird lineage in the Demon Race, they held significant sway.

However, the Peacock King was not interested in the position of Demon Emperor. He was not keen on power and privilege; for him, ceaseless ascension on the Great Tao was the goal he sought.

His stance made the other competing True Immortal Monster Gods’ eyes shift, filled with complexity.

The Peacock King stepping back was indeed the loss of a major competitor, but at the same time, whom the Peacock King would support next was also a matter of great importance.

“The Demon Race was formed from the alliance of All Tribes. In the earliest times, there was no position of Demon Emperor within the Demon Race, but instead the strongest from all the tribes came together to jointly govern the Demon Race, until a powerful one emerged with enough strength, wisdom, and charisma to be elected as the sovereign of the Demon Race,” the Rat King narrated a piece of the early origin history of the Demon Race.

At the very beginning, the Demon Race banded together but no one was convinced by the others, hence they governed jointly, until finally, a Demon Emperor emerged and was enthroned.

This process had some parallels to the rise of the human race, which at its commencement was also an alliance between different tribes and families, which later saw the emergence of a Human Race Common Master.

The True Immortal Monster Gods present understood the Rat King’s point, with the Sky Wolf King saying, “Following Rat King’s suggestion, shall we, for now, refrain from establishing the position of Demon Emperor, and have us Monster Gods govern the Demon Race together, leaving the future to be discussed later?”

“Exactly, what do you all think?” the Rat King affirmed his stance, looking to the other True Immortal Monster Gods.

The Demon Race was not yet entirely safe, and should the human race ruthlessly hunt them, their situation would become even worse.

If they caused disunity among themselves due to the struggle for the position of Demon Emperor, it would undoubtedly give the human race the opportunity to defeat each of them individually.

“Rat King’s approach is good; I approve!” the Peacock King was the first to agree.

Though not fond of power and having no intention of assuming the position of the Demon Emperor, the Peacock King was even less keen on having someone above him to command, even if just a nominal existence.

This method of joint governance suited the Peacock King’s ideas nicely.

“`

Since the Peacock King agreed, the Roc King, who had always followed his lead, would not oppose, “In that case, this king also agrees.”

The Rat King, Peacock King, and Roc King, these three were all extraordinary in strength. In an instant, three out of the seven demon gods had agreed, nearly half, which made the remaining True Immortal demon gods who had some thoughts hesitate in their hearts.

The Fox King’s declaration undoubtedly was the final verdict: “This king agrees as well!”

The sense of loss in the Celestial Ape King’s heart vanished in an instant. As one who had once contended with the Lion Emperor for the position of Demon Emperor, he had originally thought it was his right to ascend. Now, seeing this situation, he realized even more how much he had failed to win the hearts of the demons.

“This king agrees as well!” said the Celestial Ape King.

“This king agrees too.”

“This king feels the same!”

The Tiger King and the Sky Wolf King also expressed their agreement in succession.

Although they too had thoughts of ascending to the Demon Emperor’s throne, they would not actually go against the current.

Thus, many True Immortal demon gods who had left the Demon Race had determined the future political model for their kind and, according to their fallback plan, began searching for new lands of life in the vast Chaos, gathering strength, waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback.

We shall return!

This was the last statement left by the many True Immortal demon gods.

However, at this moment, in the world of Great Ming, the many True Immortal humans did not pay much attention to these matters.

A defeated army has no valor to speak of!

If they could defeat the Demon Race once, they could defeat them countless times.

For the many humans now, having defeated the Demon Race, what was needed was to first settle the chaos of heaven and earth and invest the gods with titles.

The human race spent ten years completely suppressing the catastrophic floods previously unleashed by the Demon Race.

A loss may turn out to be a gain.

The Demon Race’s final viciousness indeed caused the human race great disarray and loss of many strong figures, but it also eradicated all of the Demon Race’s last resorts.

As the human True Immortals led the powerful in restructuring the mountains and rivers according to their plans, they reshaped the geographical veins and turned the land into a place rich and fertile, laying a solid foundation for the future development of the human race.

The battle to invest the gods led to the fall of countless strong beings, with many Cultivators losing friends and relatives. However, the gains were tremendous, completely meeting expectations.

Overall, this Godsealing Plan was successful and reached the expectations of the human race.

Having plundered the Qi Luck of the Demon Race, the human race became the sole protagonist of this world, strengthened by the Momentum of Heaven, Earth, and Man, blessed with the Qi Luck and the support of the Will of Heaven and Earth, and promising an even more prosperous future.

Though the True Immortal demon gods took many resources when they left, there were many resources they simply could not carry away.

All these resources were poured into the nascent Heavenly Court of the human race, transforming the original Secret Realm Blessed Land and the Spirit Realm Cave Heaven, and triggering another metamorphosis, particularly with the evolution of the Heavenly Court’s nascent form into a Small Thousand World.

As the emperor of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty and the wielder of the Heavenly Court’s nascent form, as long as Zhu Houji now unifies with the Heavenly Court’s form, he can step onto the Earth Immortal Path.

But at this moment, Zhu Houji was not in a hurry; instead, he was waiting for the upcoming consecration, wanting to ascend in one step.

It was not only Zhu Houji who was waiting. Countless beings of this world were waiting, whether they were the Heroic Spirits listed on the Gods Sealing List returning from death in battle or the Cultivators who had survived, all waiting for the day when the gods would be enthroned.

Everyone was eyeing the finalized List of Divine Honor closely, thinking of the upcoming Divine Investiture and stepping into Longevity.

After ten years, outside of Tiandu of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, atop the Extermination Altar, powerful beings gathered in abundance.
