Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree Chapter 252: Suppressing All Sides

As one ancient powerhouse after another of the Demon Court awakened, all forces thought that the Demon Court was ready to settle old scores and take action against other Sacred Lands and aristocratic families.

However, a proclamation from Di Xuan shocked all cultivators.

"The Demon Race was originally the ruler of heaven and earth, but later the Humans usurped that position, driving us to the Demon Realm where we survive to this day. This is the sha of all Demon Race.

Now that the Golden Era has arrived, the Demon Race should not forget the glory of our ancestors. The Demon Court intends to lead all demons out of the Demon Realm, defeat the Humans, and reclaim the throne as the rulers of heaven and earth.

All Demon Race cultivators must obey this decree. If anyone disobeys, they will be deed traitorous and the Demon Court will spare no effort to eradicate them!"

As this announcent spread,

all cultivators thought Di Xuan had gone mad.

In the Ancient Tis, the Demon Race was indeed the rulers of heaven and earth, but that was eons ago; what relation does it have to the present?

The current Demon Race can’t compare even to the Desolate Ancient period, let alone the Ancient Tis.

Since the end of the Desolate Ancient period when the Humans defeated the Demon Race, they have occupied the entire world, forcing the Demon Race to retreat to one corner, barely surviving.

In such a situation, what could the Demon Race possibly use to contend with the Humans?

Therefore,

when Di Xuan issued this decree, all Demon Race cultivators thought he must be crazy.

Indeed,

if he weren’t mad,

why would he declare war on the Humans?

In fact,

if the Demon Realm weren’t the ancestral land of the Demon Race, protected by so hidden safeguards left by ancient powerhouses, the Demon Race would have been wiped out by the Humans in the Ancient Tis and would not have lasted until today.

Now, the attempt by the Demon Court to lead a counterattack by the entire Demon Race is seen by most forces as a path to self-destruction.

Therefore,

for several days following the Demon Court’s announcent, there was no response.

Inside the grand hall,

Di Xuan’s face was icy, having anticipated this result.

A Quasi-Emperor who had just awoken sneered and said, "It seems the Demon Court really has been silent for too long, making them forget the power it once wielded.

Back in the Ancient Tis, when the Demon Court commanded, which demon did not follow?

Back then, every mber of the Demon Race wished day and night to reclaim all they had lost and to once again ascend as rulers of heaven and earth.

But now, the Demon Race has lost its vigor, actually fearing the Humans, and would rather hide within the confines of the Demon Realm—this truly disappoints !"

In the Ancient Tis, although the Demon Court had fallen, its remaining might lingered, and no one dared to show any disrespect.

During that period,

mbers of the Demon Race still had spirit.

Even though the Demon Race had retreated to the Demon Realm, so mbers still charged out, attempting to carve a new path.

Although such attempts ended in failure, they showed that the Demon Race then did not lack courage, nor powerful individuals willing to draw their swords.

But now,

there’s not a trace of spirit among the Demon Race.

Years of living in peace have eroded their spirits entirely.

If this continues, even if the Humans do not attack, the Demon Race may gradually move toward extinction.

A race that craves montary comfort, yet ignores other crises, has no future.

Although the other powerhouses did not speak, their expressions showed discontent.

Suddenly, Di Xuan smiled and said, "All of you senior mbers need not be angry. The Humans are currently dominant, and it’s normal for them to fear.

If they lack spirit, then we will awaken it for them.

As long as the top Sacred Land families agree, other forces will not be an issue."

"However—"

"It won’t be easy to make these Sacred Lands agree, so I’ll trouble Semi-Emperor Cyan Roc and other seniors to go talk to them."

Upon hearing this, Cyan Roc nodded: "Currently, three Quasi-Emperors from the Celestial Demon Sacred Land have erged. I think we should first visit the Celestial Demon Sacred Land."

"How to proceed specifically is up to Semi-Emperor Cyan Roc to decide."

Di Xuan handed over decision-making authority.

After all, even though he was the Demon Emperor, he could not directly command these Quasi-Emperor powerhouses.

Thereupon,

Cyan Roc and a group of Demon Court powerhouses set out together for the Celestial Demon Sacred Land.

...

In less than half a day,

Cyan Roc and his group arrived at the Celestial Demon Sacred Land, and a violent clash erupted imdiately.

But the commotion did not last long before it all subsided.

This scene,

caused many forces keeping an eye on the Celestial Demon Sacred Land to change their expressions.

"Is the Demon Court planning to destroy the Celestial Demon Sacred Land directly?"

"They’ve gone mad, the Demon Court has truly gone mad!"

"It’s not the Demon Court that’s mad; it’s Di Xuan who’s mad!"

When the ancient powerhouses of the Demon Court first appeared, people already thought they were crazy enough. Upon learning that the Demon Court intended to confront the Humans, they found it incredulous.

If it weren’t due to madness, why else would the Demon Court wage war against the Humans?

Now,

with a sudden influx of Demon Court powerhouses at the Celestial Demon Sacred Land and a violent clash ensuing, people couldn’t help but suspect that the Demon Court intended to annihilate the Celestial Demon Sacred Land.

For a ti,

other Sacred Land families felt an inexplicable sense of crisis.

If the Demon Court were truly to go mad and declare war on other Sacred Lands, this would not be good news.

Yet,

it wasn’t long before the Celestial Demon Sacred Land announced its support for all decisions of the Demon Court.

This news, once out, shocked many forces once more.

Clearly,

the Demon Court and the Celestial Demon Sacred Land must have reached so agreent.

Otherwise,

why would the Celestial Demon Sacred Land agree to the Demon Court’s decisions?

After all, going to war with the Humans is no trivial matter; failure could an the path to destruction.

But before other Sacred Lands could be puzzled for long, the Demon Court’s army of powerhouses arrived.

Within days,

led by Cyan Roc, the Demon Court powerhouses visited each Sacred Land family. After amicable negotiations, every Sacred Land family supported the Demon Court’s decisions.

Thus,

the Demon Court aligned with all the Sacred Land families to stand on the sa side.

The remaining sect forces, although unclear about what transpired, had no space for dissent once the Demon Court and all ancient Sacred Land families shared the sa opinion.

Because the Demon Court and these ancient Sacred Lands controlled nearly all top-tier powerhouses among the Demon Race.

Even if so remnants felt discontent, they had no qualifications to contend with such power.

Hearing this news, the seated Di Xuan was overjoyed.

"Great, now all forces are united; with them, the Demon Court cannot lose this battle!"

Uniting all forces to restore the Demon Court to its supre status was a long-cherished wish for Di Xuan as the Demon Emperor.

Though he hadn’t truly subdued these forces, getting them to obey the Demon Court was already an important first step.

Next,

as long as the Demon Court could defeat the Humans and reclaim its position as ruler of heaven and earth, other Demon Race forces would undoubtedly follow suit.

At that ti,

his achievents, if not as illustrious as the first Demon Emperor of ancient tis, would at least compare favorably with past Demon Emperors before the Desolate Ancient era.

Even if he were to pass away one day, future generations would rember him.
