Chapter 261 What's more terrifying than the radicals are the neutrals!

“Lord Qingyan, aren’t you being a bit too reckless? Lord Lotus clearly instructed us to come here to persuade and enlighten them!” Mo Yuchen said with a worried expression.

The Goddess Qingyan snorted coldly, glared at the other party, and replied with dissatisfaction, "You blockhead, still haven't grasped the true intentions of the Goddess? Originally, the Goddess had no intention of resurrecting these demons. After all, they have always committed numerous evils and committed heinous crimes. The problem is that the guy named Feng Yichen has demon blood flowing through his veins, and he is even of royal lineage among the demons. If we allow all these demons to be wiped out, then we will face considerable trouble when correcting the plot later!"

Hearing this, Li Yue's eyes lit up, and he excitedly interjected, "I see! So it's just a little troublesome, which means we have a real chance to wipe out the entire demon race! In that case, why waste our breath arguing with them? Let's just take action and annihilate them in one fell swoop! At worst, we can return to the Main God Space and accept our due punishment..."

The Goddess Qingyan couldn't help but chuckle, shaking her head and teasing, "I really didn't expect it, Li Yue. He usually seems like a very steady person, but I never imagined that he's actually a radical at heart!"

Li Yue quickly waved his hand in denial, saying, "Oh dear, Goddess Qingyan, please don't misunderstand. I'm not a radical at all. I've always maintained a neutral stance, okay!"

The two of them, right under the noses of the demons, discussed those chilling topics, their words revealing a coldness and cruelty that sent shivers down the spines of the surrounding demons. Just before the demon lord was about to breathe his last, Qingyan released her grip on his neck, as if everything was under her control.

Coincidentally, this demon lord was a subordinate of Feng Yichen's cheapskate father. When he heard the news about his own crown prince, his tense expression immediately relaxed. He not only relented but also harbored ulterior motives, planning to use someone else to do his dirty work—after all, there were still many in the demon realm who coveted Feng Yichen's position.

"Um... my esteemed gods," the Demon Lord asked cautiously, his tone filled with probing and reverence, "is Feng Yichen, whom you just mentioned, the young master of our Demon Realm?"

"It is him. What? Do you have a problem with him?" Qingyan glanced at him coldly, her gaze as sharp as a knife.

"No, no!" The Demon Lord hurriedly waved his hand, a layer of cold sweat beading on his forehead. "But... I wonder how the young master is doing now? Is his body... alright?"

"What could possibly happen to him?" Qingyan scoffed, her tone tinged with disdain. "He almost suffered a qi deviation and nearly lost his life. But with our Lotus Goddess here, he can't die even if he wanted to."

Upon hearing this, the Demon Lord's eyes flashed with a complex expression. He then lowered his head and said respectfully, "Since the Lotus Goddess saved our young master, we are willing to follow your arrangements and have no disloyal intentions."

Qingyan smiled slightly, but her eyes were devoid of warmth. She knew that this game had only just begun, and the loyalty of the demon race had always been based on self-interest and fear.

"However, if we successfully resurrect those demons, and then kill them before they have fully recovered, will the Lotus God punish us for it?" The Northern Demon Lord Xuan Sha asked softly, his face filled with worry. His deep and sharp gaze was fixed on the front, as if trying to find some reassurance in the other party's answer.

Upon hearing this, Li Yue, standing to the side, curled his lips into a subtle, sly smile. He lowered his voice and muttered, "What's wrong with that? In this world, it's always been a dog-eat-dog world, survival of the fittest. As long as you are strong enough to control the situation, we naturally won't interfere. Besides, our responsibility is merely to give these demons a chance to live again. As for what happens afterward, that's for you to decide and handle..." With that, he shrugged lightly, appearing completely indifferent.

Hearing this, the Northern Demon Lord Xuan Sha's doubts lessened slightly. After a moment of contemplation, he slowly nodded, then respectfully bowed to Li Yue and said, "Thank you for your guidance and instruction, Lord God. I understand now!"

Jiang Shiliu summoned Qingyan, Li Yue, and Mo Yuchen to this Demon Realm not merely to use their power to enlighten the demons, but more importantly, to take this opportunity to eliminate some stubborn obstacles in this world. The most troublesome among them were the Western Demon Lord, who had always plotted rebellion, and the enigmatic Eastern Demon Lord, who remained hidden and shrouded in mystery. These two demon lords had previously tried to harm Feng Yichen, and Jiang Shiliu was determined not to let them off easily. However, her actions could not be too direct or ostentatious.

After all, this was ultimately an internal matter of the demon race, and it would be more appropriate for the demons themselves to handle and resolve it. All she needed to do was subtly go with the flow and offer a favor. If the demons were intelligent enough, they would surely be able to discern the hidden meaning and intricacies. Fortunately, the Demon Lord currently had no intention of instigating a large-scale war, so for the time being, her life could be spared.

Therefore, Jiang Shiliu specifically instructed Qingyan and the others to prioritize finding the Northern Demon Lord. After all, the Northern Demon Lord firmly stands on the side of the current Demon Lord, and if they could reveal even a little bit of information about Feng Yichen to him, he would surely obediently follow their arrangements.

Moreover, and most importantly, after careful observation and in-depth investigation, Jiang Shiliu was astonished to discover that in that breathtaking battle of the main gods, almost every region suffered varying degrees of damage and casualties. However, what was truly baffling was that only the territories ruled by the Western Demon Lord and the Eastern Demon Lord remained completely unscathed, without suffering the slightest impact.

This anomaly was truly chilling and unsettling. Since ancient times, gods and demons have been irreconcilable enemies. Logically, in such a fierce battle, how could the main gods easily let them go? Yet, the two regions remained unscathed, as if shrouded in a mysterious protective shield.

Faced with this bizarre situation, Jiang Shiliu couldn't help but feel suspicious: Could it be that behind this seemingly subsided war, there are still rebellious forces of the gods that have not been completely eradicated? It was out of concern for this possibility that she decided to cleverly use the internal struggles of the demon race to uncover the hidden mysteries and clarify the various confusions in her heart.

Jiang Shiliu thought to herself, "I've gone to great lengths and racked my brains to revive everyone, so I absolutely can't let those with ill intentions mess up the main storyline of the world that I've worked so hard to repair in the blink of an eye!"

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but frown, a sense of worry and unease welling up inside her. If this really happened, where would she, the Lotus Goddess, put her face? Who would still believe in her afterward? Moreover, if such news spread, the entire universe would probably point fingers at her, mocking her incompetence and dereliction of duty.

Moreover, she is the administrator of the main divine space! She bears the heavy responsibility of maintaining order and safeguarding peace. If she were to lose her dignity over such a trivial matter, how could she manage this vast and boundless main divine space in the future? How could the other gods continue to obey her commands? No, this absolutely cannot be allowed to happen! No matter the cost, she must ensure the stability and tranquility of the world's main storyline.
