Chapter 384 Strategic Alliances? Appeal to Emotion! Promise of Benefits!
At this point, the demon god paused slightly, his gaze sweeping over the many powerful demons in the hall, before continuing:
"Besides the Witch Clan, there are probably quite a few others eyeing that Saint Crystal."
"Among the disciples of the Three Pure Ones, Grand Master Xuandu, Guangchengzi, and Daoist Duobao all had sages as their backers."
"The two saints of the Western Sect, Jieyin and Zhunti, are most adept at calculation, and naturally they also want to seek the well-being of their disciples."
"There's also the Blood Sea, the Netherworld... and many quasi-saint rogue cultivators."
"How many people covet the Saint's Crystal?"
"Although my demon race is strong, it is by no means easy to stand out in this great calamity where all races compete and dangers lurk everywhere, and to obtain the Saint's Crystal."
"A comprehensive strategy is needed, combining alliances and maneuvering, leveraging strengths and avoiding weaknesses."
Upon hearing this from the demon god, Di Jun and the others immediately became extremely solemn.
Everyone knows that the Saint's Crystal is valuable, but actually obtaining it is not an easy task.
For a moment, the entire Lingxiao Palace fell silent.
After a long silence, Di Jun slowly nodded and said in a deep voice:
"The Demon God Bai Ze is absolutely right!"
"What you just said is also what I am concerned about."
"After all, there are far too many people eyeing that Saint's Crystal."
"This battle is by no means a simple charge into battle."
"As for the Witch Clan, leave them alone for now, but they still need to be closely monitored. If they dare to hinder us or steal our credit, I will not forgive them!"
"As for other forces, it's not easy to deal with them."
At this point, Di Jun frowned, unable to think of any good solution.
At this moment, Donghuang Taiyi, who was standing to the side, spoke up:
"Brother."
"The alliances and counter-alliances that Bai Ze, the demon god, just mentioned are worth considering."
"But who can our demon race turn to for help right now?"
Donghuang Taiyi paused, unable to think of a suitable candidate for a moment.
Upon hearing this, the high-ranking members of the demon race in the hall fell into deep thought, but no one responded for a long time.
Just then, Fuxi, who had been silent all along, suddenly stood up, cupped his hands in greeting to Dijun, and said:
"Your Majesty, I do have someone in mind!"
"Perhaps this could allow our demon race to unite!"
Upon hearing Fuxi's words, Di Jun's eyes immediately flashed with a sharp light, and he said urgently:
"Please speak, Xi Huang!"
Fuxi didn't waste any time and said directly:
"In the current situation, our demon race is vying for the holy throne, but we are surrounded by powerful enemies."
"The Witch Clan is the blood feud of my Demon Clan, and they will do everything in their power to obstruct us."
"The Three Pure Ones are transcendent and difficult to ally with."
"The other powerful rogue cultivators each have their own agendas and cannot be relied upon."
"However, there are two sages in which we may try to make contact. Even if we cannot form a strong alliance, we can at least try to gain their neutrality or limited support to reduce variables."
As soon as Fuxi uttered these words, Dijun and the others were shaken.
"Xi Huang, you...you mean the Sage Nuwa and the two sages of the Western Sect?"
Aside from the Three Pure Ones, the remaining two saints are Nuwa of Nuwa Palace and the two saints Jieyin and Zhunti of the Western Sect.
Fuxi nodded and murmured an 'Mmm':
"That's right."
"Although Nuwa is the Holy Mother of the human race, she transcends the mortal realm."
"But after all, he is of demonic origin."
"She was once the goddess Nuwa of the Heavenly Court of the Demon Clan."
"For the public good, protecting the primordial wilderness and resisting external demons is the Empress's inescapable duty."
"Personally, if our demon race could produce a sage to maintain the balance of power in the primordial world and prevent the witch race or other forces from becoming too powerful, it might not be a bad thing for Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty may personally go to Nuwa's Palace, explain the advantages and disadvantages, and persuade her with emotion and reason."
Upon hearing this, Di Jun and the others nodded in agreement, finding Fu Xi's suggestion to be quite good.
If we seek help from the sage Nuwa, the chances of success are indeed very high.
"Xi Huang, your suggestion is excellent."
"However, you will need to accompany me to the Nuwa Palace."
In Di Jun's view, Fuxi was the elder brother of the sage Nuwa, and having him accompany them would naturally increase the chances of success.
Fuxi did not refuse and readily agreed:
"good!"
Then, Fuxi pursed his lips slightly and continued:
"Secondly, there are the two saints of the Western religion, Jieyin and Zhunti."
"The West is barren, and it was difficult for the two saints to establish their religion. They have always had the great ambition of saving all those with affinity and greatly promoting the West."
"Of course, as you all know, these two sages are skilled at scheming and enjoy interfering in the affairs of all parties to seek their own interests."
"They themselves may not need the Saint's Crystal, but their disciples may very well have designs on it."
"Even if they don't become my disciples, they can use this item to gain support from my demon race in certain areas, or to obtain resources and fortune that they need."
"For the two Western saints, it was also a worthwhile deal."
"Alliance with the West could lead to the signing of some mutually beneficial agreements."
"For example, supporting each other on the battlefield, sharing intelligence, and even... joining forces against other competitors at critical moments."
Upon hearing Fuxi's words, all the high-ranking members of the demon race in the hall nodded in agreement.
"The method described by Xi Huang is truly wonderful!"
A demon god couldn't help but exclaim in praise.
"Ha ha!"
Upon hearing this, Di Jun burst into laughter with delight:
"good!"
"The Emperor Xi was truly insightful!"
"You can appeal to the emotions of the goddess Nuwa."
"If we go to the place of the two Western saints, we can lure them with benefits!"
"This plan is feasible!"
Upon hearing Di Jun's praise, Fu Xi smiled faintly and replied:
"Your Majesty the Demon Emperor is too kind."
"Everything is for our demon race!"
With the plan settled, Di Jun did not delay and immediately set off with Fuxi to Nuwa Palace in the Outer Heavens.
Soon, the two arrived at the Nuwa Palace.
Inside the palace, the sage Nuwa sat serenely on her cloud bed, surrounded by the aura of creation.
"Um?"
Upon seeing Di Jun and Fu Xi arrive together, the sage Nuwa frowned slightly, a hint of surprise flashing across her eyes.
She had a vague idea of why the two had come here.
Before they arrived, Di Jun and Fu Xi bowed deeply to the sage Nuwa:
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
The sage Nuwa nodded slightly and said calmly:
"Heavenly Emperor, elder brother, there's no need for such formalities!"
"What brings you to my Nuwa Palace?"
Upon hearing this, Di Jun took a deep breath and then, without further ado, explained his desire for Nuwa's help.
In his speech, Di Jun did not overemphasize the ambitions of the demon race, but emphasized that this battle was related to the survival of the prehistoric world, and that the demon race was willing to fight the enemy with all their might.
However, there are concerns about internal constraints, especially the possibility that the Wu tribe might disrupt the overall situation due to old grudges.
It is hoped that the Sage Nuwa will consider the past friendship with the demon race and lend a helping hand to them at this crucial moment.
After Di Jun finished speaking, Fu Xi added to his points.
Analyzing from the perspective of the balance of the heavens and the flow of primordial fortune.
They believed that the existence of a powerful and orderly demon race would be beneficial to stabilizing the post-war prehistoric order.
