Journey to the West: Sun Wukong's Advice System-Chapter 262 - 249 The Terrifying Human Race and the Mad King Luo Hou_2

Chapter 262: Chapter 249 The Terrifying Human Race and the Mad King Luo Hou_2

After Ran Deng arrived, he immediately saw this scene. His expression changed slightly, and then he silently waited by the side.

After a long while, the expressions of the Demon King, the Demon General, and Ran Deng in the great hall all became serious.

Suddenly, the aura from the fish’s body abruptly strengthened and burst into flames, transforming into a sea of blood-red fire around it.

Boom!

Finally, the fish opened its mouth and swallowed the sea of fire, causing its cultivation to breakthrough to the Quasi-Saint Realm.

A trace of longing flashed in Ran Deng’s eyes. Clearly, this method of cultivation didn’t belong to the path of immortals but to the path of demons!

Compared to the immortal path, the demon path seemed easier, yet it was more dangerous.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, he would not attempt it, even though he deeply longed to advance further and touch the Saint Realm.

After the fish finished cultivating, Ran Deng smiled and said, "General, congratulations."

The fish nodded, but its expression was cold as it asked, "What has happened outside?"

Ran Deng briefly explained the recent changes in human path and the Human Race.

The fish frowned and said, "Human path has manifested? No wonder I noticed that the seal at the entrance to Luo Tian’s demon realm has strengthened. This Sun Wukong is indeed a major variable!"

Demon King Pishacha said, "He has ruined our demonic teachings’ plans several times, from Moluo’s initial gathering of magical treasures and weapons, to planning to open the seal of the North Sea’s Eye,

to later when the Darkness Demon God dispatched people to set up the Four-Element Extending Realm Array in Heavenly Court, and Moluo along with Shiva and Lu Tuolo attacked Heavenly Court attempting to break the Sky-Mending Seal."

All these matters failed because of Sun Wukong."

Lustful Heaven said, "We should have eliminated him earlier."

Brahman Heaven shook his head and said, "It was Moluo who was keen on recruiting him and even specifically found a Six-Eared Macaque that closely resembled Sun Wukong, otherwise all these matters wouldn’t have arisen."

Upon hearing this, the fish said coldly, "It’s not for you to discuss whether Moluo is right or wrong."

The three Demon Kings suddenly looked fearful and quickly knelt on the ground, saying, "We know our mistake. Please, Demon Ancestor, forgive us!"

Ran Deng stood by, holding his sleeves and remaining silent as if he was not surprised by any of this, yet a hint of surprise flickered in his eyes.

The fish then said to Ran Deng, "Tell me your thoughts about the Human Race."

Although Ran Deng was prepared, he still took a moment to ponder before seriously saying, "Terrifying."

"Oh?" the fish expressed surprise.

Compared to the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin tribes that once dominated the Vast Wilderness, the Human Race could only be described as weak. How could they be considered terrifying?

Whether in terms of foundations or talents, the Human Race was not considered among the top races in the Vast Wilderness.

Ran Deng continued, "The Human Race harbors unimaginable potential. Just the bit of potential that has been released now has caused the human path to manifest and has stirred the situation across the Three Realms."

The fish looked thoughtful. Over the years, it had heard that among the Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao, Nu Wa and The Three Pure Ones ascended to sainthood due to the Human Race.

Even Jieyin and Zhunti, who borrowed merits from the Heavenly Dao to achieve sainthood, were closely watching the Human Race’s faith due to the great opportunities arising from the spread of Buddhist Law.

Even from the level of Saints, the Human Race indeed possessed terrifying potential.

Ran Deng added, "Moreover, the era of the Han Dynasty where the fortune of the Human Race lies also has great potential."

For years, the Han has been expanding its territory and has nearly brought the entire South Shand Continent under its control.

Although the number of people in the Human Race is increasing rapidly, South Shand Continent remains sparsely populated, so the strength of the Han still has much room for improvement. I cannot even fathom its limits.

However, judging by their rate of improvement in recent years, it won’t take long before the power of the Han Dynasty could catch up to that of the Underworld."

The three Demon Kings and three Demon Generals looked at each other, all surprised. freēwēbnovel.com

The Underworld had been established since before the calamity of the witch and demon era, while the Han had just recently ascended to the status of a dynasty. The gap was obvious. Could they really catch up that quickly?

Poshun asked, "I don’t understand why, in recent decades, the Human Race has been able to develop and advance so rapidly?"

Brahman Heaven and Lustful Heaven both nodded, showing their confusion.

As demonic powerhouses from the era of the Three Divine Beasts, they had lived for countless years and were certainly aware of the history of the Human Race.

Since being created by Nu Wa, the Human Race was a very weak group and was not prominent among the myriad races of the Vast Wilderness.

After the witch-demon calamity, the myriad races declined, and the human race, relying on their strong reproductive powers, gradually became the new rulers of the Vast Wilderness.

But this still did not change the overall weakness of the human race, so during the Divine Enthronement calamity, they could only be manipulated and divided by various factions.

Now, after listening to Ran Deng’s account, they realized that the recent developmental trajectory of the human race over the past few decades was problematic—it was too rapid and defied logic, considering it involved an entire race.

Ran Deng’s emaciated face showed a look of emotion as he explained, "It’s all because of Sun Wukong, who was the teacher of the human king Liu Xiu,

According to the records of the historians of the great Han, after Liu Xiu claimed the throne, a Taoist named Sun taught Liu Xiu many methods of governance and innovation, which transformed the great Han dramatically and led to today’s changes."

Hearing this, Po Xun and other demonic powerhouses glanced at each other, but dared not speak.

You Yu frowned in thought, appearing calm, but the blood-colored aura around him burned brightly, clearly indicating his inner turmoil.

He had just rebuked Po Xun and others, telling them not to criticize Moluo’s decisions; however, now it was evident that they should have eliminated Sun Wukong earlier, not tried to ally with him!

After a moment of contemplation, You Yu spoke again with a cold laugh, "In that case, from today onwards, I am Luo Hou."

Luo Hou?

Po Xun’s complexion changed drastically as he advised, "Ancestor of Demons, the time is not yet ripe!"

The Brahman realms and three Demon Generals, Indra, Vishnu, and Ghost Mother, also tried to persuade him.

The Ancestor of Demons’ next move was crucial; once made, there would be no turning back.

Ran Deng watched on, still not speaking a word, understanding what You Yu was thinking.

The Earthly Dao had already been enhanced, and now the Human Dao was also manifesting and would continue to strengthen in the future.

Furthermore, in recent years, the great Han and the underworld had jointly established a city god system.

With this system, which allowed communication between yin and yang, the Earthly Dao and the Human Dao complemented each other and both grew stronger.

These changes affected the demonic teachings by making the seals at the entrances to the demon realms increasingly stable!

And with the passage of time, this seal, sourced from the power of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity, would only grow stronger.

Therefore, if the demonic teachings wanted to escape their predicament, they must seek change!

Sure enough, You Yu then said, "I am still of the Asura clan; I am the Furious King Luo Hou, not the Ancestor of Demons Luo Hou!"

At this, Po Xun and others finally relaxed.

Luo Hou looked at Ran Deng, "Now, we can only break the seal by force. How we shall do this, I will find someone to contact you."

Ran Deng did not directly ask who it would be but pondered, "This must be done with utmost certainty."

Luo Hou scoffed, "In this world, there is no such thing as certainty!"

Ran Deng remained silent, realizing that Luo Hou clearly would not reveal in advance who he was seeking.

Thinking it over, he purposely reminded him, "There’s also this, when the human race established the Hall of Valor, a Saint intervened."

Luo Hou’s eyes flashed with a murderous intent, "Who gave you the courage to play tricks on me?"

Whew!

Surrounded by Demon King Po Xun, grand celestial realms, and the Demon Generals Indra, Vishnu, and Ghost Mother, they instantly encircled Ran Deng.

Ran Deng’s expression changed, a demon is truly capricious!

But he dared not hide anything anymore and spoke gravely, "It was Yuan Shi who intervened to contain the Human Dao; Nu Wa, Tai Shang, and Tongtian each hindered him,

Additionally, many hidden Quasi-Saints have participated, choosing to support the human race’s establishment of the Hall of Valor."

After hearing this, Luo Hou’s face hardened, yet his tone was filled with disdain, "Just a bunch of Heavenly Dao lapdogs, they do not even dare to defy Hong Jun’s command, only daring to act beyond the heavens, they are not to be feared!"

Ran Deng looked visibly uncomfortable; he had intended to provoke Luo Hou with his words, but he had not expected Luo Hou to directly turn against him, his ally!

Now, after he had revealed who the intervening Saints were, Luo Hou changed his demeanor, showing no concern for those Saints.

Ultimately, he still couldn’t ask who Luo Hou was seeking, leaving him feeling very uncertain.

After all, this time it was different; should they fail, he would no longer have a place in this world.
