Looking back, it was all like a fairyland.

Lin Yiyang was also surprised by what the old goat said. Although he didn't raise humans, he couldn't bear to see this bully-like old goat hurt people? His moral bottom line was so high, was it true?

Speaking of demons, especially those outside the Zhongling Mountains, few can resist the temptation to eat human flesh. While not all of them devour innocent creatures, very few have, and they are practically extinct. Those with a modicum of conscience will devour the wicked, the evil, and their enemies; those without conscience will devour anything, whether meat or vegetables. Even a demon like Lin Yiyang, who holds a high moral compass and has previously interacted with humans for significant periods, has eaten humans.

It’s just that you are eating your enemy.

However, judging from the old goat's behavior, does this mean that it has never eaten humans?

"What's so surprising? I told you, my master is still alive. As long as he lives, I will never eat people."

"What if he died?"

"I'm afraid even if I die, he won't die. Besides, humans, pshaw~" The old goat scoffed. Demons eat humans because humans are born with flesh and blood, but what about the things around the old goat—what do they eat and drink—comparable to humans? Isn't that putting the cart before the horse? He's not stupid.

This time, Lin Yiyang fell silent, then asked the question he had always wanted to ask but hadn't dared to: "So what are you doing here!"

"Ah, I've come to see the leader of the Demon Alliance."

"You're not here to join the Demon Alliance?"

"Why would I join the Demon Alliance? Why would I join such a bandwagon organization? If I wanted to, creating one would be easier than joining; why would I come all this way?"

Lin Yiyang: ......

You're really not humble at all.

"So...what do you want with the Demon Alliance Leader?"

"Let's discuss the Dao. The path of a transformed great demon seems blocked by something; I've reached a barrier, yet my understanding remains superficial. I overheard the Leaping Sparrow mention that the Demon Alliance Leader has already touched upon a realm beyond the great demon, so I've come to see if I can learn anything from it."

After hearing the old goat's explanation, Lin Yiyang honestly wanted to know. Although he hadn't reached the peak yet, he was almost there. He also had a vague sense of a barrier, and it seemed like something was missing to break through it.

And this barrier seems to be aimed only at the demon race.

He had traveled far and wide over the years, and from what he had seen, the supreme gods were the Saint King, the God King, the True Lord, and the legendary Lord of Heaven; and among the immortals, there were also those who had achieved enlightenment, such great immortals and immortal masters.

Only the demon race has never been heard of existing above it.

They didn't even know the name for the realm the Demon Alliance leader was in. One reason they joined the Demon Alliance was to learn what realm lay beyond it. Demon King? This title had long been circulated, with many great demons calling themselves Demon Kings, ruling over their own regions. Clearly, this title didn't describe the realm above that of a great demon.

Everyone is curious, and everyone has only a vague understanding of the situation.

Even in the current situation, there are actually many people who have asked the leader of the Demon Alliance, but the answers they got were nothing but some mysterious answers, like some words that you should know, which are very mysterious.

But what is known is that the only demon who seems to have clearly displayed strength above that of a Great Demon is the Demon Alliance Leader. Perhaps there are others, but he has not seen them.

In fact, he also had some guesses, such as the dragon clan.

The dragon clan has emerged as true dragons and dragon kings. They clearly don't belong to the realm of great demons, but rather to a higher realm. So how did the dragon clan reach this level? One is to embrace the water veins, which makes them the dragon kings; the other is to follow the water, which transforms them into true dragons. Both rely on favorable timing and location.

Accommodating the water veins in one direction is the Dragon King, and this is the advantage of the location.

Walking on water, it transforms into a real dragon, borrowing the meaning of heavy rain and floods, and flows through rivers and into the sea. This is the time of heaven, and can also be considered as a tour. Therefore, the Dragon King guards a certain area, while the real dragon can cruise in rivers, lakes, and patrol the four seas.

The two choices differ, but it seems the True Dragon is stronger. However, flowing water doesn't guarantee smooth sailing. While flowing water can be a blessing, it's more often a disaster. It depends on whether the dragon can control the flow of water. If it can't, it will be smitten with disaster and may never become a True Dragon.

This is why, despite the obvious strength of a true dragon that transforms into a water dragon, many dragons still choose to embrace water veins. It's just that water veins aren't simple. First, water veins are limited, and each has its own niche. For the world to create a new water vein, it would be incredibly difficult, requiring thousands of years of vicissitudes.

In addition, if you have no strength and no virtue, you will not be afraid of being choked to death if you want to accommodate the water veins. In general, both are dangerous and rely on the right time and place.

Does that mean that the demon race also needs a special opportunity like "walking through water" to achieve something extraordinary? Many powerful demons want to try, but they don't know how or in what way.

This requires mentioning that the dragon race, as the leader of all scaled creatures, has a reason for each branching out. It's because of the dragon race's heritage or will. Otherwise, if you were to start over, you'd be as baffled as the demon race. Could you imagine containing water veins? Could you imagine draining water? How to contain it, and how to drain it? These aren't innate abilities; they come from the dragon race's heritage.

From zero to one is difficult.

However, due to the revival of heaven and earth, the demon race has already produced a genius who has made a breakthrough from zero to one. After that, beings above the great demon will also appear one after another.

This is why so many great demons are willing to follow the leader of the Demon Alliance. Are these great demons foolish? Obviously not; they simply see hope. And this hope is right before their eyes; who wouldn't want to seize it? The Demon Alliance claims to be banding together for warmth, but most of them see change and progress.

Therefore, the Demon Alliance will only become stronger and stronger.

As long as the leader of the Demon Alliance keeps walking in the front, Lin Yiyang certainly wants to reach a higher realm. After all, the world is changing, and war seems to be coming at any time. He cherishes his life very much.

Unfortunately, the leader of the Demon Alliance didn't seem to reveal much.

This was understandable, as he wanted to go further, otherwise the Demon Alliance would fall apart. Therefore, he had to always be in the lead.

"You might not get the answer you're looking for by going to the Demon Alliance Leader," Lin Yiyang said.

"Perhaps in the future, but absolutely impossible now."

The old goat looked at Lin Yiyang in confusion, not understanding why he said that. But he didn't want to waste too much time here, so he soon felt relieved.

"It's alright. If the Demon Alliance leader won't talk, we'll fight until he does. Even if he refuses to speak even after we beat him to death, we can still glean some information during the battle. That's not a problem." Old Goat was confident of this.

This declaration, which could be called arrogant, left Lin Yiyang speechless.
