Chapter 868: 669 Human Race Power Structure_2

Jiang Chen’s smile remained the same, but the words he uttered were incredibly cold, causing the hearts of the six Demon Gods to keep sinking.

"What does it mean to offer up everything one has? Isn’t it just consumption? It sounds so nice ..."

"If you want to consume us, then let’s see if you have the skill to do so."

The six Demon Gods snorted coldly and once again formed a mysterious innate formation, concentrating all their power into one stream, continuously bombarding the Great Primordial Vortex, trying to shatter it.

However, the Great Primordial Vortex consumed all things, and the Divine Powers unleashed by the six Demon Gods not only failed to harm it at all but were instead absorbed by it, enhancing its own power.

"Useless, unless your power reaches the Quasi-Saint level, otherwise, you can forget about breaking my Divine Ability."

"Dear fellow Daoists, go in peace!"

Jiang Chen reached out, once again enhancing the power of the Great Primordial Vortex. The surrounding pressure became even more terrifying, as if Mount Buzhou was pressing down. The six Demon Gods felt the pressure, their bodies became heavier and heavier, and gradually they found it hard to move.

"Self-destruct, and take him with us."

"Even in death, we cannot leave him any benefit."

The six Demon Gods were resolute individuals. Realizing there was no way to escape, they directly used their last resort, attempting to self-destruct and take Jiang Chen along with them.

But it was too late. Had they encountered Jiang Chen and self-destructed without a word, he might have suffered a great loss from this unexpected attack. But now, after fighting for so long, Jiang Chen had already figured out their bottom line; how could he let the six Demons self-destruct?

Silently, the shadow of the Great Cycle Divine Palace materialized, direct pressing down onto the heads of the six Demon Gods.

Against Jiang Chen, the six Demons still had room to resist, but facing the Great Cycle Divine Palace, they were suppressed without any power to fight back, directly consumed by it, losing all of their senses.

Boom!

Deep within the Great Cycle Divine Palace, the power of the stars was vast and infinite, mixed with the golden willpower of the masses, enveloping the figures of the six Demon Gods, bit by bit refining them, allowing them to merge with the Divine Palace, strengthening the power of this Divine Artifact.

"The power of the Demon Gods is a great supplement to the Great Cycle Divine Palace."

"If all three hundred and sixty Great Cycle Demon Gods from the past could be consumed, then the Great Cycle Divine Palace could instantly advance to a Primordial Level Divine Artifact."

After consuming eight Innate Dao Sovereign level Demon Gods, Jiang Chen could clearly feel that the Great Cycle Divine Palace had grown stronger, but it was not enough, far from enough.

To become the graveyard of the Demon Clan, the Great Cycle Divine Palace must at least rise to become a Primordial Level Divine Artifact.

"No matter, the Demon Clan is never short of strong individuals. Once the matter with the Demon Immortals is settled, the next step will be to head to Beijulu Continent. First to probe the foundation of the Demon Clan, second to kill a few Demon Gods as a demonstration of power, and incidentally to expand the power of the Great Cycle Divine Palace."

Thinking of what he had to do next, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but reveal a solemn expression. Then he dispersed the Great Primordial Vortex Divine Power and reappeared in the Three Realms.

"Why have the two seniors and three Dao friends arrived?" Upon reappearing, Jiang Chen, as if sensing something, suddenly spoke.

As the echo of his voice faded, the void rippled in waves, and the figures of two elders from the Jiang Family and three Demons revealed themselves one after another.

"Haha, Emperor Lord has slain six great Demon Gods, it was only natural for this old man to personally witness the event. These are Emperor Lord’s achievements, and they require the witness of the clan to extol Emperor Lord’s accomplishments," one of the Jiang Family elders laughed loudly. Of course, he couldn’t say he was worried whether Jiang Chen could handle the six Demons and had come to lend him a helping hand.

The other four shared the same thought.

Truth be told, Jiang Chen’s combat power truly astonished them. These were six Innate Dao Sovereigns who had been so easily slain by him when they joined forces.

At that moment, everyone felt as if they were witnessing history.

"They were merely six ordinary demon gods, not the foundational Zhou Tian demon gods of the Demon Clan, so dealing with them wasn’t very troublesome,"

Jiang Chen’s tone was indifferent, as if he had slain not demon gods but mere cats and dogs.

Everyone who heard this might have remained silent, yet they agreed with him. After all, his combat prowess had proven his point, and he indeed had the right to make such a statement.

"Hmm, elder, do you have something to say?"

Noticing that one of the Jiang Family elders seemed hesitant, as if intending to speak, Jiang Chen proactively asked.

"Actually, the Emperor Lord should have spared their lives. Regardless of whether their surrender was genuine or fake, at the very least, by choosing to cooperate with them, an attitude would be shown to outsiders. It would encourage those with grievances against the Demon Clan to seek us out and voluntarily collaborate,"

Seeing that Jiang Chen asked, the Jiang Family elder no longer hesitated and spoke his mind.

"What the elder has mentioned is considered, but it was not necessary. Even without cooperation with other races, our Human Race still fears nothing of the Demon Clan,"

"Moreover, the hands of these six demon gods are stained with the blood of people from the Great Ancient Human Race. If we do not kill them, how can we console the spirits of our ancestors who died at their hands?"

"I understand that people should look forward and should not dwell in hatred. But what about the grievances of the Great Ancient Human Race? Are we just supposed to forget them?"

"Bearing the legacy of the Ancient Martial Dao and inheriting the will of the Ancient Martial Artists, I naturally have an obligation to avenge the Great Ancient Human Race,"

"Though they have perished, the Ancient Martial Dao endures, and as I am still here, so their grievances will not fade. It falls upon me to inherit their cause and avenge them."

"We cannot let the sacrifices of the Great Ancient Human Race be in vain; we must be steadfast and persistent in seeking their vengeance,"

"So that the living members of our race will know that no Human Race will die in vain, and that even if we exhaust all our strength, we must seek revenge for them. We cannot abandon our hatred for the sake of benefit, lest it disheartens our people."

Jiang Chen knew that this Human Race elder had spoken out of concern for the bigger picture,

After all, there were many powers in the world that despised the Demon Clan. Had Jiang Chen chosen to cooperate with those six demon gods just now, it would have been a signal that he was willing to collaborate with all forces opposed to the Demon Clan.

As a result, those hostile to the Demon Clan would actively seek contact and cooperate with him to combat the Demon Clan together.

Considering the grand scheme of things, this would indeed be the wise course of action. However, Jiang Chen had a different opinion. The Human Race was so strong that it could resist the Demon Clan even without the support of other forces.

Besides, while these forces, like the Human Race, harbored immense hatred against the Demon Clan, it did not mean that they had good relations with the Human Race. In the age of ancient tribal wars, these races had also been adversaries of the Human Race.

It should be remembered that the Demon Clan wasn’t the only race guilty of cannibalism; many others were, with the Demon Clan simply being a notable example.

They were once enemies of the Human Race and had also stained their hands with the blood of Human Race ancestors. Cooperation between the Human Race and these forces might be advantageous but would inevitably chill the hearts of some of our people.

Therefore, Jiang Chen was unwilling to collaborate with them.

Without them, the Human Race could still confront the Demon Clan, so why should we cooperate with them?

What the Jiang Family elder said made sense, but Jiang Chen’s base was the Ancient Human Race and the Ancient Human Race, and he could not, for the sake of small benefits, chill the hearts of those from the Great Ancient and Ancient days or disrupt his own foundations.

Though the Human Race is the most numerous in the current era, their strength is the weakest. The Great Ancient Human Race may be the least in number, but those who have survived from the Great Ancient to the present possess terrifying individual combat powers, with virtually all being outstanding Innate Dao Sovereigns.

And the Ancient Human Race needs no mention. Born in the most prosperous era of the Human Race, they represent the strongest collective group.

Together, the Great Ancient Human Race and the Ancient Human Race comprise at least eighty percent of the Human Race’s strength. The remaining twenty percent is made up of the Ancient Human Race and the current era’s Human Race, with the Ancient Human Race accounting for fifteen percent and the present-day Human Race only five percent.

If Jiang Chen wished to become the Human Emperor, he naturally needed their support.

Critically examining Jiang Chen’s current actions, striking out at Demon Immortals, confronting the Demon Clan, and calling for the eradication of the Demon Clan, all these acts align with what the Great Ancient and Ancient Human Race most wanted to see.
