Having grasped this logical chain, Yi Chen’s mind opened up.
With a quick thought, Yi Chen decided to reveal a bit more to Selena.
“Selena, one must have broad vision.
Allow Me to teach you another lesson.”
“Do you think I only want an excuse to start a war?
Heh, should I wish it, I could simply say the Demon Righteous Church has lost a dog and wants to inspect the ancestral lands of the Three Great Demon Kingdoms to find it.
That too can be a casus belli.”
“You must understand a principle as someone who will rule in the future.”
“When you decide to topple a colossus, such as the Demon Noble group we plan to overthrow, you must lift a new interest group to replace it.”
“The upper echelons of our Demon Righteous Church are that new interest group.
For example, you, Selena, I am preparing to grant you twenty thousand households to govern.
Those freed slaves can own land and then offer their tribute to our Demon Righteous Church.”
“Don’t worry, as long as we manage the Western Extreme Demon Country well, and the common demonkin and former slaves live better than their counterparts in the Three Great Demon Kingdoms, the internal strife there will intensify, leading many demonkin to flee here, to our Demon Righteous Religion Country.”
“I entrust this task entirely to you.
Should anyone refuse to comply, invite Me to administer Holy Judgment.”
Yi Chen patted Selena’s shoulder with a smile, revealing yet more substantial information.
“Holy Venerable, with such actions, should the kings of the Three Great Demon Kingdoms join hands to attack, would we not be in danger?”
Hearing Yi Chen’s words, a flicker of worry crossed Selena’s sapphire-like eyes, rather than joy.
Yi Chen was very pleased by this reaction, it seemed that under his guidance, Selena had indeed developed a great sense of ownership.
His smile grew even more intense.
“Selena, oh Selena.”
“Is there a possibility, that in fact, I fear they would hide in their shells and refuse to face Me?”
“If they turn a deaf ear, we will continue to chip away at their foundations.”
“If they cannot take it anymore and come at us united, without their shells, then for Me, that would be most welcome, haha!”
“Holy Venerable, was that battle not at your limit?
Have you been holding back, luring the snake from its hole?” Selena’s eyes widened in shock, followed quickly by a flash of thrilled delight!
“What do you think?”
“I’ve said, ‘Without Me, Gyalou Lan, the Demon Realm would be in eternal darkness like an everlasting night.'”
“Without Me, Gyalou Lan, the Demon Realm would be in eternal darkness like an everlasting night.”
“Haha!”
With a surge in his voice, Yi Chen’s smile turned into a wild grin and his aura began to soar, becoming stronger, more vigorous, doubling in intensity.
It made the Horde of Demons within the Western Extreme Royal City halt their actions, unsure what had happened but feeling that today’s Holy Venerable was overwhelmingly domineering!
Since his battle with the Western Extreme Demon Lord, Yi Chen had a clear understanding of his own strength.
Should the day come when the Three Great Demon Lords seek him out for trouble, even at the cost of a Primordial Spirit Radiance, he would have to use Holy Skill Ascension to strike down at least one first.
This was a confidence—
This game of coward, regardless of what choice the Three Great Demon Lords make, Yi Chengzi intended to win, win, win; he was simply choosing a more solid strategy.
Once the three Demon Lords were subdued, he would fully promote the Fair Demon Code, aiming for sustainable exploitation.
Anyone who dared to skin the Demon Realm would be crossing Yi Chengzi.
He knew all too well the difference between being full after one meal and being full at every meal.
…
…
A day later.
On the high mountain of the ancestral lands of the Demon Wolf Clan in the Western Extreme Royal City.
A light misty rain.
A majestic figure sat in a pavilion, pouring and drinking by himself.
The table in front of him was arrayed with various dishes, all seasoned to Human Realm tastes, devoid of the ‘heretical’ flavors of the Demon Realm.
From afar, the breeze brought fragrant earthiness, flowers bloomed brilliantly up close—a scene of beauty, a moment of comfort such that Yi Chen couldn’t help but hum in silence.
“Ah!
Fleeting light!
Fleeting light!”
“Here’s to you with a cup of wine.”
“I know not the heaven’s height, nor the earth’s thickness.”
“I see only cold moons, warm suns, tormenting one’s life.”
“Since ancient times, the strong are always strong.
The dragon-eaters grow plump; the frog-eaters grow thin.”
“…”
Just as Yi Chen was swept up in poetic fervor, a noisy commotion abruptly cut through his reverie.
It was Selena, carrying a jade box three feet in length, leading a group of subordinates excitedly to his side.
“Holy Venerable~”
“Holy Venerable~ Holy Venerable~”
“Why have you all come?
Come, Selena, sit by Me and drink.”
Despite the crowd, Yi Chen had eyes only for Selena, inviting only her to sit with him.
As for the others?
Let them stand!
What status did they have to dare drink with Yi Chengzi?
Of course, this also served to elevate Selena’s authority, a way to tell the other high ranks of the Demon Righteous Church not to engage in clandestine schemes or trip up Selena.
Without the labor of these workhorses, where would Yi Chengzi find the leisure to drink and feast?
“Selena, how goes the work?
The ‘Fair Demon Code’ I decreed, are the Demon Nobles compliant?” Yi Chen poured himself another glass of wine and asked casually.
“Holy Venerable, rest assured, the abolition of slavery is progressing orderly within our Demon Righteous Religion Country.
As for some demonkin with shallow foresight who fail to recognize Your Holiness’s farsightedness and plot openly or secretly against our Demon Righteous Church.”
