I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

In the Daluo Palace, Shen Ming sat on the Daluo Platform.

In the very center of this sacred ground, thunder and fire intertwine, and celestial energy permeates the air.

The immortal phoenix soared through the sky, its wings outstretched. Having just driven away the invaders, this celestial spirit was extremely excited.

He had been indulging in all sorts of lavish meals with Shen Ming, and now he was finally able to put his skills to good use.

If Shen Ming hadn't stopped her, the Immortal Phoenix would have chased after them.

Once outside, one is at the mercy of others, Shen Ming thought, feeling somewhat helpless about his current situation.

It was still too high-profile, but breaking through the realms of two major divine paths was worthwhile.

The Longevity Realm can't enter the Great Luo Palace now, and the Divine Realm can't defeat the Undying Immortal Phoenix.

However, the demon race can destroy the Great Luo Palace from the outside.

Shen Ming will be helpless, and the world inside will explode as if it has experienced a catastrophe.

However, judging from what that Heaven-Burning Demon God said earlier, Shen Ming knew that the Demon Court was eyeing his unique original divine path.

Shen Ming didn't mind teaching her; Yun Xi had said that the more beings she traced back to the moon, the stronger she would become as the moon goddess.

Judging from the behavior of the demon race, once he has finished imparting the original divine path, he will also die.

Shen Ming is essentially trapped here, and his life is in danger at any moment.

"Or, should we hold out until the nine sects of the human race make their move?"

No matter what, he was still a disciple of the Taihao Sect's Sword School.

The thought had barely crossed Shen Ming's mind when he put it out of his head.

Based on what we've seen and heard in the Tianqi Mountains, it's better to hope that Ainz Ooal Gown receives the news and comes to our rescue.

Meanwhile, outside the Great Luo Palace, on the first floor of the Devouring Heaven Tower.

More and more figures of demon gods appeared, and the specific situation was learned from the mouth of the Burning Heaven Demon God.

"What trouble can a human who has fallen into our hands cause?"

Some demon gods suggested destroying the Great Luo Palace, believing that Shen Ming would come out.

A demon god rallied twelve demon gods to join forces and go straight in to capture the person.

"Is all you know how to do is force? Humans have so many advantages, and persuasion is one of them."

A soft, pleasant female voice rang out.

One of the few female demon goddesses, her features are as if sculpted by the heavens, every inch is just right, exuding a fatal charm.

Her large, watery eyes were like bottomless black pools, shimmering with a gentle yet alluring light, as if in the blink of an eye they could drag you into an endless dream.

With a tall and graceful figure, she wore a light gauze dress that swayed in the wind, making her look like a spiritual being from a fairyland, light and mysterious.

Her skin was as white and flawless as jade, delicate and smooth.

This human body is like a treasure sculpted by God himself, or rather, it was carefully prepared by her.

The other demon gods did not look down on him because of his appearance, since he was the youngest of the twelve demon gods.

They are a new generation that has the potential to become the Demon Emperor in the future.

“Alright, Yaoyao, I’ll go in with you to negotiate,” said the Burning Heaven Demon God.

"No way, I can manage on my own."

Yao Yao wasn't discussing it; after speaking, she entered the Daluo Palace.

Outside, the Daluo Palace has no way to resist the demon god.

However, as soon as Yao Yao entered, she had a feeling that she had once secretly climbed to the moon.

The universe is incomplete, and its laws are flawed, thus many abilities are restricted.

She immediately saw the immortal spirit that the Burning Heaven Demon God had mentioned, the legendary immortal phoenix.

"He's actually grown to this level, completed the cycle of reincarnation, and can directly become a demon emperor!"

Yao Yao couldn't help but recall that before the Undying Phoenix attacked, she had shouted, "I'm here to negotiate!"

The Immortal Phoenix, which had just reached halfway, heard a call and immediately changed direction, diving downwards.

"How can it make a celestial being so obedient? We're not even related by blood."

Yao Yao found it strange. If they hadn't formed a bloodline, the Undying Phoenix was so much stronger than Shen Ming, so she should have been thinking about leaving.

Then, Yao Yao came to the front of the Great Luo Platform and said, "Demon Court, Twelve Demon Gods, Yao Yao."

She was very proud of this identity, and when introducing herself, she slightly puffed out her chest, looking magnificent.

"My name is Zhou Yuan," Shen Ming said casually, making it up.

"Pfft, I thought your name was Shen Ming." Yao Yao covered her mouth and chuckled, instantly exuding charm that made people's hearts flutter.

Clearly, the demon race already knows a lot about Shen Ming.

Shen Ming remained unmoved; beauty held no meaning for him.

"Tongtian Tower just inquired about three things from the Demon Court. The first thing is that Tianqi has calculated countless things this time. If we count them, the Demon Court must not invade the nine sects of the human race within a hundred years."

The second thing is that Baiyujing should also produce a human emperor, who wants to have a place in the world.

The third thing they asked was whether you were alive or dead.

Yao Yao spoke casually, her voice clear and melodious, yet her intentions were ruthless.

The intention was to make Shen Ming feel isolated and abandoned, even though that was pretty much the case.

However, Yao Yao found that Shen Ming remained unmoved.

"Aren't you angry?" Yao Yao asked, puzzled.

"This is nothing," Shen Ming thought to himself. This was just a piece of cake, nothing compared to his previous experiences.

"Given the lifespan of humans, what can you possibly experience at your age? Pretending to be mature for your age isn't a good idea," Yao Yao said.

Shen Ming smiled without saying anything, offering no explanation.

Then, Yao Yao began to get down to business.

"The moon does not belong to the gods of the human race, but to all living beings. Similarly, the Demon Court is not limited to demons. Demon is a symbol, a conspiracy of the Divine Court. Spiritual life can be demon, immortal spirits can be demon, and true dragons can be demon."

Those who do not obey the divine court are all demons.

Therefore, humans can also join the Demon Court.

Shen Ming was genuinely surprised. These words were quite bold, especially considering how advanced they were for this world.

“I haven’t felt the tolerance you’re talking about from other demon races,” he said, expressing his skepticism.

"That's because that's their nature. They treat humans cruelly, and they treat other races, like demons, the same way," Yao Yao said.

"Even the demons in the Demon Court are divided into different ranks."

"Isn't that true for humans? Isn't talent just like bloodline?"

"So what bloodline are you?" Shen Ming asked curiously.

"Guess?" Yao Yao chuckled.

Shen Ming activated his Origin Heaven Divine Eye and saw the other party's true form; his expression changed.

I thought the other party would be a fox, after all, their appearance speaks for itself.

"You're saying all this because you want me to impart the power of Taiyin to you and let you join the Demon Court?" Shen Ming asked seriously.

"Yes."

"There's no need for all that trouble. I'll teach you how to guarantee my departure," Shen Ming asked curiously.

"Leave? You taught us the divine way, but the nine sects of the human race will not tolerate you. The human race is obsequious to my demon court, but they will show no mercy to you who taught the demon race the divine way."

What Yaoyao just said was to give Shen Ming a way out, but she didn't expect that Shen Ming was completely unaware of Baiyujing's situation and was still thinking about going back.

"Hmm? Then I won't join the Nine Sects of the Human Race." Shen Ming didn't care.

His purpose in coming to Baiyujing was to find fragments of the world, and his joining the Nine Sects of the Human Race was to complete the Heavenly Path Reincarnation.

Yao Yao realized that none of the many things she had prepared to say were of any use.

"What kind of guarantee do you want?" Yao Yao went straight to the point.
