Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 365 - Demon Race's Plight And Future

Ao Shen had a deep smile on his face as he smelled the blood inside this vial, making him lose control; he was very excited.

"Our demon race finally has a chance at true freedom," he muttered. "Billions of years of oppression at the hands of humans; all of this will end by my hands."

The plight of the demon race has not been good ever since the end of the Ancient Emperor Era. Before that, everything was relatively normal. Although the relationship with humans and other races were tense, they still tolerated one another.

However, everything changed when the first Demon Great Emperor was born. The Golden Ape immediately wanted to rule the Myriad Emperor and enslaved the human race.

As a powerful Emperor on the level of the Battle Maniac Emperor or the Desolate Emperor, he almost succeeded. Luckily for the human race, the Human Emperor showed up to salvage the situation.

Unfortunately, ever since then, the demon race has been suppressed completely by humans to the point of almost being extinct.

They were exiled to the north from the central continent, a place that was devastated by war which led to low spiritual energy and resources. They were hunted down as food, used for transportation, making pills, talismans, arrays, and weapons.

And this did not stop there. Every time that the demon race as a whole began to slightly recover, the top Emperor Lineages will band together to secretly kill all their upper echelons and reduced their strength.

Every time they cultivated a Great Emperor, their situation did not change much. At least, they will get a moment of peace and prosperity. Unfortunately, said Great Emperor has to eventually leave.

Then, the humans will strike again with tremendous force and once again weakened the demon race.

And if their Great Emperor showed any kind of ambition to increase the power and influence of the demon race, all the Emperor Lineages will take out the Emperor Artifacts, wake up the Dao Ancestors and Immortal Venerables to besieged such Emperor.

If the Demon Emperor is powerful enough, he or she could barely resist such attack and protect their race. If not, they will either be killed or forced into exile.

Moreover, the human race will take advantage of these situations to destroy the Emperor Scriptures of the Demon Race and steal their Emperor Artifacts. Even if they cannot use it, they will not let the demon race have it.

Because of the plight of the race, many wise demons decided to use a more subtle approach to alleviate the current situation. So, they try to incorporate into Human Race's culture and society.

Despite how barbaric they are by nature, the demon race decided to control their nature and learn how to refine pills, talismans, and weapons. They hoped that doing business and selling some rare resources only available on the north would be helpful.

Unfortunately, the human race did not accept their gesture. The concept "not my race must be an enemy' has been engrained in the soul of the human race.

As such, they would do anything possible to squeeze out the demon race from the business world. And when it comes to buying rare northern resources, they will do anything from threat to stealing to reduce the buying price.

This kind of thing went on for billions of years–ever since the end of the Ancient Emperor Era.

After so many years and so many attempts, the demon race decided that the best way to solve their situation is to either migrate to another Heaven Will World or cultivate an Eternal Emperor.

Migrating was not an option as too much would be involved. They would need a powerful Space Treasure to carry the entire race to other World Communities.

Then, there is the issue of whether the human race would intervene and prevent them from doing so. However, this problem can be dealt with as long as a Great Emperor becomes in charge of the migration.

However, other problems aroused. They needed to find the right Heaven Will World where the demon race could prosper. If the human race or another race is the dominant one once again in that world, then, they would just suffer more.

Finally, they also need to receive the blessing or acceptance of the original habitants of the world. Even if they find a world that is dominated by the Demon race, it did not mean that they would be alright.

By nature, the demon race is very territorial. Because of so many different kinds of races that make the "demon" race, infighting and slaughter is as much a problem for them as it is for humans.

The only reason that the demon race in the Myriad Emperor World is different is because of their desperate situation. In other Worlds, this issue will magnify millions of times.

Despite all the possible hardships, the demon race still decided to make this plan one of their final retreats in case they one day faced extermination at the hands of a human race Great Emperor.

Nevertheless, the second plan of cultivating an Eternal Emperor is still the best choice for their current situation.

Unfortunately, this was more difficult for the demon race than imagined. Over the countless Eras, no Eternal Emperor has been born from their race.

There may have been a few before the Nulle Era but that is not yet confirmed. And there is a reason for that.

The Demon race relied too much on their bloodlines for cultivation. With a noble enough bloodline, as long as the resources are enough, it is quite easy for an Imperial Demon race to cultivate to the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

They do not need to have a high state of mind, powerful Dao Heart, and unimaginable Wills. All they need are resources.

However, this is where the problem comes. To become an Eternal Emperor, all of these things are needed, and they have to reach the absolute peak.

Because of this fact, a few demon leaders wanted to change to human race cultivation in an attempt to cultivate an Eternal Emperor, however, the majority of them disdain to do this.

The demon race respected bloodline to the core of their soul; To them, bloodline superiority was above everything else–even their death and destruction.

This disagreement led to the separation of the Golden Crow Race from the Demon Race as they advocated the cultivation of the human race system.

Another method proposed was to create a new and better Cultivation System than the current Bloodline One. So, many Great Emperors deduced a perfect bloodline system that involved refining the mind, Dao Heart, and Will.

Regrettably, the majority of demons were used to relying on their bloodlines to cultivate. They did not want to change to a more complicated and troublesome method.

As for the true Heaven Chosens of their race, although they cultivated the new method, it did mean that they would immediately become Eternal Emperor. After all, the human race has been using such a system far longer than them, and yet, only 7 Eternal Emperors have appeared.

In the end, the demon race realized that bloodline was the core of their races, and if they wanted to solve their problems, bloodline was the only thing needed to solve the problem.

So, they gathered together to begin Project Innate Atavism. Knowing that the demon race was created by Innate Demons based on their bloodlines, they studied the secret of their bloodline to revert back to their ancestor and create an Innate Demon.

This person would be the pinnacle of bloodlines. With such talent, it should be possible to become an Eternal Emperor without all the other required stuff. Even that person failed, once he or she becomes a Great Emperor after their bloodline is baptized by the Heaven Will, they would not be inferior to any Eternal Emperor.

The project started during the Middle Emperor Era. Unfortunately, since then, the demon race has never had a Great Emperor. So, it took them two eras, countless generations of wise men, countless experiments, countless sacrifices before succeeding.

Finally, Young Master Ao Shen was finally born. A proud and noble Dragon: an Innate Demon.

…

Ao Shen finally managed to control himself. He could not help it to be so excited. Although the demon race succeeded in cultivating him into a True Dragon, he always felt that his bloodline was incomplete; it was missing something.

So, he wanted to find a way to make it up but he did not how.

However, the moment that the news of the secret realm spread, his intuition told him that the method he was searching for was inside. So, he sent the demon race on a mission and ordered them to do whatever it took to acquire the fortunate encounter at the core.

Knowing what was at stake, the True Monarchs of the demon race did not hesitate to ruin their lifespan in an attempt to reach the core and get what's inside.

Luckily, they succeeded.

'It seems that fate is on my side,' thought Ao Shen.. Then, he looked at the Chameleon and said calmly: "Hand it over."
