Chapter 285: The Final Plan

Yu Hao was stunned. The Three Realms were unified?! When did that happen? Why hadn’t the Divine Realm heard a thing?! But upon reflection, when he first descended to the lower realm, the Immortal Realm’s Heavenly Emperors *had* obeyed her without question. If even the Immortal Realm bowed to her, the Monster Realm surely followed. Now she’d even awakened the Feng Clan.

So… she truly unified the Three Realms! Then why had he bothered coming down here?!

Yu Hao’s face cycled through shock, disbelief, and bleak resignation before hardening with suspicion. “You… unified the Three Realms. What’s next? Invading the Divine Realm?”

You You: “……” *Who wants to invade the Divine Realm?!*

“I don’t care about the Divine Realm!” You You suppressed her exasperation. “I called you for two reasons. First, to tell you the Divine Clan—at least the Feng Clan—means no harm. Stay and see for yourself if you doubt it. Second, we need to discuss the demon tribes I mentioned earlier.”

Yu Hao’s eyes bulged. “Now you’re targeting the Demon Realm too?! Three Realms aren’t enough—must you conquer all Six?!”

“……” *This is hopeless.*

Switching tactics, You You asked, “Did you know the Demon Realm’s sealed passage lies in the Human Realm?”

“What?!” Yu Hao recoiled. “Impossible! The Demon Realm’s as isolated as the Divine Realm. How could its passage be here?!”

“We verified it ourselves,” she said. “The seal’s at Heaven’s Sacred Mountain. It’s holding, but not unbreakable.”

“Heaven’s Sacred Mountain?!” Yu Hao paled. “You mean… the *Saint’s* seal? The one who annihilated the Divine Clan?!”

You You nodded. “The same.”

“Nonsense!” Yu Hao scoffed. “Why would the Saint endanger the weak Human Realm? If demons broke through, it’d be a slaughter!”

“The Saint was human,” You You countered. “Sealing the passage where he could watch it makes sense. Think—after the Divine Clan fell, cross-realm travel was restricted. Humans lack power to break the seal, while Immortals and gods can’t reach here. It’s the safest spot.”

Yu Hao’s suspicion wavered but returned stubbornly. “Even so, why wake the Sin Clan? This demon business is probably *their* doing! I’ll never trust them!”

“I’m not asking you to trust them,” You You said. “But consider this—if the World-destroying Calamity stemmed from the Divine Clan, why did the Saint seal the *Demon* Realm? What role did demons play back then?”

Yu Hao froze.

“Your Divine Realm fixates on the Divine Clan as ancient villains,” she pressed. “Maybe they were. But *my* Feng Clan seeks no chaos. What worries me isn’t them—it’s what the demons are plotting.”

Yu Hao glanced at Feng Rong, conflicted. “Why tell *me* this?”

“I won’t kill you, and I can’t return you to the Divine Realm,” You You said bluntly. “Truce, then. Pause the Divine Clan feud. Focus on the demon threat. I’ll keep the Feng Clan in check. Deal?”

Yu Hao hesitated. Demons lurking in shadows *were* deadlier than visible foes. Yet trusting this woman…

“If I agree… what becomes of me?”

“You’ll teach in the Immortal Realm,” You You said.

“Teach?!”

“You’re the God of War. Even as a clone, you know more about becoming a god than Old Divine Thought. The Immortal Realm lacks proper instructors.”

“You’d let me empower potential rivals?!”

You You sighed. “How would *you* counter hidden demons?”

“Fortify the seal! Destroy the passage!”

“Temporary fixes. They’ll find new paths. Then what—another Saint?”

“Then your solution?”

“Strengthen the Three Realms,” she said. “Demons terrify us because we’re weak. What if humans cultivated immortality, Immortals became gods? If all realms matched the Divine Realm’s power, who’d fear demons? You don’t—because you’re strong!”

Yu Hao gaped.

“We’ll build schools,” You You declared. “When everyone’s strong, demon invasions become laughable. No more Six Realms division—just beings cycling through reincarnation. Dead hands clasped in the Nether Realm, equals all.”

Yu Hao: “……”

Feng Rong: “……”

Shui Yan: “……”

*Her logic’s sound… so why do I feel belittled?*
