[Hmm? Is there soone else trying to steal my task?]
Hao Tian, hidden behind the new Demon Lord's throne, had already prepared to step out and guide the narrative personally.
Unexpectedly, Ksitigarbha, who typically remained inconspicuous, took the initiative to step forward.
So he continued to silently stand aside, wanting to see what profound opinion this Demon King could present.
The Eastern Demon King, ng Huai, who advocated for attacking the Heavenly Realm, looked at Ksitigarbha in surprise and frowned.
"Daoist, what is the aning of this? Why attack the Human Realm?"
Ksitigarbha instead asked back, "Then I would like to ask you, Daoist, why are you so insistent on attacking the Heavenly Realm?"
The Eastern Demon King, ng Huai, righteously replied, "Isn't it obvious? It's to avenge our Demon Ancestor from the last Epoch!"
"In the past, the Daoist Ancestor ruled the age, governing the Heavenly Realm under the na of Yellow Lord. Later, our Nine Netherworld's Demon Ancestor rebelled against the heavens, but was unfortunately defeated by that Daoist Ancestor, eventually perishing with resentnt at this place."
"As successors of the Demon Ancestor, isn't it only right to settle the cause and effect of the last Epoch with the Heavenly Realm?"
"Indeed, it's only right!" Ksitigarbha nodded without hesitation.
This is the fundantal "great righteousness" of the Nine Netherworld Demon Realm, and ng Huai's reasoning here was impeccable.
"However…" Ksitigarbha suddenly changed his tone, his gaze sweeping across the room before finally resting on the current Demon Lord seated on the throne.
The Demon Lord nodded slightly, signaling Ksitigarbha to continue.
Only then did Ksitigarbha proceed: "What I want to say is that attacking the Human Realm is our inevitable choice at this mont, with no room for discussion!"
"Although the war between the two realms seems to have reached a stalemate, and it appears that we could attack either side at will to influence the entire war situation, it's not truly the case!"
"Everyone must not forget, what is the true purpose of this catastrophe initiated by the Lingbao Tianzun from the Jie Sect? It's to destroy the world!"
"He aims to prematurely push our Epoch towards that final doomsday, allowing him the opportunity to achieve supre transcendence!"
"Consider this: if we don't attack the Human Realm now, but instead choose to attack the Heavenly Realm, and if it ultimately results in Lingbao Tianzun's victory."
"Then the final outco would be that all of us would perish along with this Epoch, while Lingbao Tianzun alone transcends peacefully!"
Ksitigarbha's expression beca extrely grave as he looked at each Demon King present and said solemnly.
"By that ti, all our efforts will have beco a wedding dress for others, so what is there to talk about avenging the Demon Ancestor?"
"Sacrificing ourselves to benefit others, is this the final result everyone wishes to see?"
"Or is it that the esteed Demon Kings of the Nine Netherworld have now attained such a 'selfless' and 'willing to die' noble state?"
As soon as Ksitigarbha uttered this last sentence, the faces of the Demons Kings present instantly darkened.
One after another, they cursed and said, "You, damn it, who are you calling noble?"
"No more attacking the Heavenly Realm! Let's attack the Human Realm now! Let's kill that world-destroying Demon of Lingbao Tianzun first!"
"To hell with universal transcendence! We don't believe in his nonsense!"
"That's right! Next ti, the next chance we get, we will settle the score with that bunch of bastards in the Heavenly Realm!"
After Ksitigarbha's reminder, everyone ca to their senses and imdiately changed their minds.
Yes indeed!
Compared to the Jie Sect, which dreams of dragging everyone to their graves and destroying the world, the bastards of the Heavenly Realm seem almost amiable by comparison.
Although at the restart of the Epoch, these ancient and powerful Demon Kings would not really die.
Still, without the accumulation of an entire Epoch's cultivation, they'd incur significant losses just to survive, inevitably falling far behind others in the next Epoch, making any struggle futile!
Thus, with his unwavering persuasion, Ksitigarbha successfully convinced the unruly Demon Kings to shift their attack target towards the Human Realm of Great Shang.
Hidden in the void, Hao Tian was astonished at what he saw.
Where did this ally co from?
How could the problem-solving approach be so simple yet so effective?
Initially, he had prepared a whole set of enticing and tempting argunts from the perspective of "Crossing to the Other Shore," intending to entice the new Demon Lord to lead an attack on the Human Realm.
It now seed all that effort was entirely unnecessary.
However, just in case, Hao Tian secretly transmitted a ssage to the new Demon Lord.
"Daoist, your mission to lead troops to attack the Human Realm is, on the one hand, to stop the world-destroying action of Lingbao Tianzun, which aligns with the Heavenly Will and is the public right."
"On the other hand, you can take this opportunity to seize the Jie Sect's Sect Suppressing Divine Weapon—the Four Immortal Slaying Swords."
"If you succeed in obtaining these swords, perhaps you can replace Lingbao Tianzun, becoming the absolute Demon Lord with the authority of 'Destruction' in this Universe."
"Even if you ultimately don't succeed, it doesn't matter. With the favor gained from attacking the Jie Sect, if you ever want to Cross to the Other Shore, maybe those Supre Ancients will choose to turn a blind eye, tacitly allowing your actions and not deliberately obstructing you anymore."
