Chapter 676: The Fate of the Demon Clan

Gray Cloud Mountain, Penglai Continent

The once lush Gray Cloud Mountain was now just ruins, like a wasteland after a nuclear war.

There was no greenery in sight for miles, only ashes. The fires caused by the nuclear explosion had burned down all the vegetation on Gray Cloud Mountain. The smoke covered the sky for thousands of miles, making it impossible to see the sun for several months, like a severe haze.

Over the past few months, it rained a few times. However, the rain brought even more misery as it carried radioactive dust, causing many surviving wild beasts and monsters to die in pain. The effects of radiation had fully emerged.

Inside the Demon God Temple, the Demon Queen was still immersed in an overwhelming sense of defeat. Suspicion filled the whole demon race; she had never experienced such a blow.

Since she was born, everything had been smooth sailing for her. Even during the cruel trials of the Demon God Temple years ago, she had passed safely. Perhaps the greatest challenge in her life was the death of her grandfather, the Peng Bird Demon Emperor. However, back then, she had her husband and others to rely on. Now, she didn’t know who to turn to.

"Demon Queen."

Just as the Demon Queen was lost in thought, Fire Scale Demon Emperor and Dragon Turtle Demon Emperor arrived. Dragon Turtle Demon Emperor was still alive but severely injured. He had been healing for months, with Fire Scale Demon Emperor even needing to help him eliminate the radiation from his body.

"Dragon Turtle Demon Emperor, how are you?"

"I’m okay for now, but my strength has weakened by 20%, and my lifespan may decrease by thousands of years."

The Dragon Turtle Demon Emperor said, this time it was severely injured and almost dying, only surviving by using a costly secret technique to heal.

"Don’t worry, your lifespan will be restored."

"Demon Queen, I’m fine here. It’s just the Phoenix Demon Emperor…"

"*Cough cough.*"

The Fire Scale Demon Emperor coughed, signaling him to stop. The Old Phoenix was very important to the demon race, especially to the Demon Queen. Bringing up sad matters about the Demon Queen was not wise.

Indeed, at the mention of the Phoenix Demon Emperor, a sense of resentment rose in the Demon Queen’s heart, accompanied by a surge of killing intent. The Old Phoenix had died, not even a year after rebirth, without being given a chance to grow, perishing in a nuclear explosion.

"Demon Queen, calm down."

With a cold snort from the Fire Scale Demon Emperor, the Demon Queen suppressed her anger.

"I lost my composure."

"Demon Queen, you must pull yourself together. If you don’t, the demon race will be doomed."

"Fire Scale Demon Emperor, how is the demon race now?"

"Oh no, our descendants from Gray Cloud Mountain and Demon God Temple in Penglai Continent have all been defeated. The demon tribe to the south is in a similar situation, either dead or close to death.

Half of our attack on the northern demon army has failed, and the remaining half is now squeezed in the far north of Penglai Continent, having consumed all available resources. The most crucial issue is the radiation…

The Fire Scale Demon Emperor explained the current situation to the Demon Queen. The demon tribe is in a life and death crisis; all the saved descendants have perished, leaving only one Dragon Turtle Demon Emperor in the entire Demon God Temple.

The remaining demon army is packed in the far north of Penglai Continent, far from the nuclear blasts, barely surviving but facing a shortage of food. Without enough food, the demons will turn on each other.

The nuclear radiation makes their situation even more unbearable. Fourth-tier and higher demons can ignore radiation damage, but lower-tier ones struggle. The radiation distorts demons, turning them bloodthirsty. Even high-tier demons find it challenging to control them. If they stay in Penglai Continent, the demon rule will vanish.

"Does Fire Scale Demon Emperor mean we should leave Penglai Continent?"

"Yes, if we don’t leave, the demons have no future. The remaining lower-tier demons will perish, leaving only a few hundred of us. The humans keep attacking, and we keep losing members. We will be wiped out sooner or later."

"So, where do you suggest we retreat to?"

"Ying Continent, master. It’s our only option. Shen Continent is the humans’ stronghold, and we lack the strength to fight back. There are some islands in the Endless Sea, but they are small and would be a death trap. Only Ying Continent offers a chance for survival for our demon tribe."

"Fire Scale Demon Emperor, what will we do if we work hard to develop for a few years, and the human race releases a nuclear bomb again?"

Demon Queen said, she was very worried about this. If we occupy a continent, work hard for many years, and then a nuclear bomb from the human race comes down, wouldn’t all our efforts be in vain?

"Demon Queen, we can’t avoid this situation. We can only take it step by step. I believe that there must be secret techniques that can avoid this. Just like the human race’s satellites, we just need a piece of demon cloud to make them ineffective. Now we need to move first and then figure out the next steps."

"Fire Scale Demon Emperor is right, Demon Queen. Nowadays, even low-level demons have the risk of mutation. We should find a place to survive. The demon race is also composed of thousands of demons. With a few of us Demon Kings and Demon Emperors, we can’t accomplish anything."

"Alright, let’s quickly integrate the remaining demons and choose a place to survive."

Demon Queen nodded. This matter is urgent, she doesn’t have time to be sad. She must immediately pull herself together, lead the demon race to become powerful. Without unified command, the demon race is no match for the human race.

Huaxia Federation, Jingdu City

Near the end of World War II, an organization called the United Nations was established in this parallel world. However, the United Nations has always been quiet because there was no Cold War in this world.

After that, the organization faded away and for decades, there was no sound. It became a retirement place for some marginalized individuals.

But in the past few days, the organization suddenly became active. Representatives from various countries have gathered in HuaxiaJingdu City to discuss how to deal with the demon race in the name of the United Nations.

"The United Nations will be renamed the Human Alliance in the future, aiming to distinguish between the demon race and the human race…"

"The Human Alliance should have certain authority, even some power from the human alliance government…"

"Whether it’s the countries in Shen Continent, Ying Continent, or Fangzhang, they must unite and cooperate, not allowing any compromising voices towards the demon race…"

Lin Jiang is in Haigang City, but made a decision about the meeting in Jingdu City. Lin Jiang’s words carry great weight for Alliance Three Countries, and these proposals were approved in just one day.

Huaxia Official also sent envoys to inform Lin Jiang about the meeting content, with many countries expressing their desire to cooperate with Huaxia.

"It’s easy to talk about cooperation. Huaxia can provide several directions for cooperation. Firstly, open up some technological expertise to help countries establish artillery, missile production lines, and other technological skills.

Secondly, export some spiritual energy weapons. If countries lack financial resources, Huaxia can offer low-interest or interest-free loans, but countries need to provide corresponding collateral.

In the third aspect, Huaxia can send some high-level cultivators to help other countries establish a good system for training cultivators. They can also open up opportunities for cultivator students from other countries, providing at least one thousand spots…

In the fourth aspect, in terms of mutual military defense, Huaxia can dispatch skilled personnel in the form of advisory teams…

Lin Jiang summarized the opinions of experts in his think tank and proposed cooperation in seven or eight aspects. This deep level of cooperation can be seen as very sincere. Apart from a few things, Huaxia is offering whatever it can.

Of course, the cooperation and support from Huaxia are not without benefits. It must ensure its own interests, and other countries must also share their interests with Huaxia, such as various mineral resources and so on.

Specifically, Lin Jiang didn’t participate, instead directing Huaxia Official. He instructed them to act quickly, especially in Ying Continent, to stabilize the situation there first because Lin Jiang has decided to leave the Abbot to the demon clan to avoid chaos.

In the following days, the meeting proceeded smoothly, issuing announcements and declarations one after another, as if the human race had already achieved great unity.

The propaganda machine had already started running, bombarding various channels with information. On one hand, they highlighted the dangers of the demon clan, repeatedly discussing the tragic situation in Zhou LiaoZhenhai City and Penglai. On the other hand, they boosted the confidence of the human race, urging everyone to come forward to fight against the demon beasts. For a while, the online world of the human race was buzzing with activity.
