Chapter 827 – Broadcasts?
Although Fei'er didn't quite understand why Zhao Hai was so confident, he was sure of one thing, that Zhao Hai was very strong and that he wouldn't make any jokes about important matters. Because of this, Fei'er just nodded and didn't say anything else.
However, the Demon Dragon King knew why Zhao Hai can assure such a thing. Yesterday, they just entered the Space from Demon City, but now they came out of the Accra Mountains. Only a fool wouldn't note that the Space can teleport people.
What moved the Demon Dragon King the most was Zhao Hai's statement about the matter he needed to handle. Now that nobody was left in the Ark Continent, the only thing Zhao Hai needed to do was head to the Demon Realm and take the Demons to the Space.
Fei'er smiled at Zhao Hai and nodded, "Alright, then we'll be depending on Mister from now on. Since Mister has something to process, we'll say our farewells for now. We'll rest for the night and then proceed towards the Radiant Empire tomorrow."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Good. Right, I will also let the undead deliver you something. After all, you need to eat in order to have a good rest."
Fei'er was moved, he stood and gave Zhao Hai a bow, "Thank you Mister. Since we also need to settle our troops, then we'll be taking our leave." Zhao Hai also stood up, he smiled at them and said, "There's no need to be polite, aren't we allies?" The three bowed to Zhao Hai once more before turning around to leave.
After waiting for Fei'er and the other two to leaves, Zhao Hai turned his head to the Demon Dragon King and said, "I'll have to ask you to lead me to the Demon Realm. In the meantime, have the Demon Army enter the Space and recuperate. The most important thing for us right now is to take the other Demons to the Space."
The Demon Dragon King gave Zhao Hai a salute and said, "Thanks Mister."
Zhao Hai waved his hand an said, "Don't be too polite, there's no need for ranks between us. I've already ordered someone to take care of your food once you return. Have everyone take a good rest. Right, what are our casualties?" The Demon Dragon King nodded and said, "From our tally, there are 544 thousand injured while about 650 thousand were killed. And since you requested it, they didn't opt to explode themselves."
Zhao Hai nodded, "Although blowing themselves up causes huge damage, they won't leave anything behind in the end. I want to pay respects to their sacrifice by burying them.
Zhao Hai still had his Chinese personality in him. Although he didn't admire being buried in the earth, he still wanted to leave a body behind after he died. Even if he was cremated, that would still be good. At the very least, he didn't want to only leave his clothes behind.
The Demon Dragon King shook his head and said, "Mister, if it’s possible, please turn the dead Demons into undead. It would be a great honor for them if you do that. Being buried in the ground would just turn them into a joke."
Zhao Hai stared, he didn't think that the Demons would have that custom. He frowned as he asked, "Won't you explode yourselves before being defeated?" The Demon Dragon King nodded and said, "If we are defeated, then we would blow ourselves up in order to die with the enemy."
Zhao Hai stared, then he said, "If I turn your people into undead, then you won't get offended?" The Demon Dragon King nodded and said, "We won't. Mister can rest assured. Being able to fight after dying is a dream for a Demon. But since we don't want to die under the hand of our enemy, we just blow ourselves up. Only when we have a formidable lich with us would we refrain from killing ourselves."
Zhao Hai found that he was unable to make sense out of the Demon Dragon King's words. In his mind, being turned into an undead was blasphemous to the body. But it seems like it was a good thing for the Demons. Zhao Hai sighed and said, "Alright, then I'll be turning those killed into undead. I'll leave it to you to arrange the Devil Legion." Then the Demon Dragon King nodded before he turned around and left.
Although the Demon Dragon King had already left, his words were still resonating inside Zhao Hai's mind. At this time, the Space's residents were getting more and more multiracial. There would be races whose customs and manners were unique to Zhao Hai. Since these people had their customs weaved into their society, Zhao Hai changing it would only cause dislike. Because of this, Zhao Hai needed to be sensitive to such matters and respect these peoples' beliefs.
Although the Space can slowly transform a person's thoughts and make them loyal to Zhao Hai, a process was still needed in order to do so. Moreover, Zhao Hai was afraid that if he were to gain their dislike then it would be very difficult to gain these people's loyalty.
In fact, Zhao Hai didn't guess wrongly. If he changed the customs of the Demons, then he would definitely earn their dislike. In that case, if the Space wishes to make them loyal to Zhao Hai, then it would take a very long time. A person needed to have good sentiment towards Zhao Hai in order to be influenced. But if that person was Zhao Hai's enemy, then the Space would find it very difficult to change his mindset. The only quick way to do so was to turn that person into undead."
After the seeing that the Demon Dragon King had left, Laura and the others walked over and sat beside Zhao Hai. Laura then said, "Brother Hai, can we really stage an attack on the Divine Realm?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "This would be the best opportunity to do that. If we give up, then we would be jeopardizing the plans painstakingly made by the Thunder Clan, Barbarians, and Winged Pegasus. In any case, having them on our side would make it easier to fight against the Divine Race."
Laura nodded and said, "I think this matter is going on too quick. With Fei'er and the others added to the mix, our plans seem to have been pushed forward."
Zhao Hai smiled bitterly and said, "Those fellows are crazy for revenge. It's fine, we can still cooperate with them. After all, their fighting strength isn't that weak. With our strength added, not to say the Taurus Divines, even if the other races sent their troops, it would be hard for them to eradicate us."
Laura smiled and said, "Your being too polite. They can't destroy us at all, it's basically impossible. Just you alone can turn the Divine Race into turmoil. Right, Brother Hai, what happened to those you captured? The Third Prince seems to have gotten retarded."
Zhao Hai knit his brows and said, "I had them placed on a small island near the Ark Space. There's no need to provide them with food, the island should be enough to sustain them. Let them stay there for a while as they think about their current situation."
Laura didn't comment anything more. After all, those people had zero ability to rebel. Also, there's no reason for Zhao Hai to kill them. Moreover, the Third Prince had already turned stupid from the mental impact he just received. If the maids weren't there to take care of him, then he would've already died of starvation."
Zhao Hai sighed and said, "Alright, let's return to the Space and deal with post-war matters. Right, had the final battle been broadcasted?"
Laura knit her brows and said, "We didn't. It's because we were fighting alongside the Demons. What, do we have to show it?"
Zhao Hai thought for a short moment and said, "Show it. In any case, we can't hide this matter. After showing the scene, tell the people that we have defeated the Divine Race and also subdued the Demons."
Laura frowned and said, "If we do it like that, then let's have Cai'er broadcast the state of the Underworld as well. This way, people wouldn't think that we were cheating them into living inside the Space."
Zhao Hai nodded, he understood why Laura proposed that action. The people had indeed transferred to the Ark Space, however, they still remember their life on the continent quite fondly. If they think that there's no need to defend the Ark Continent, then they might develop some ideas. They might assume that Zhao Hai was exaggerating and just lured them into the Space. After all, Zhao Hai managed to smoothly eliminate the Divine Race while drawing the Demons on his side. If it was hard, then things wouldn't have been that easy."
Zhao Hai returned to the Space and thought about his recent victory. Altogether, he had amassed 30 million undead Divine Race soldiers. Adding on his current undead, Zhao Hai now had about 70 million undead in his command.
Originally, Zhao Hai's undead should be more than this. However, the Divine Race's attacks were too fierce, some undead were forced to use blood lightning beads to blow themselves up. With this method, Zhao Hai would only have a net loss since all bodies would be vaporized by the explosion.
But in the end, Zhao Hai still managed to reap great harvests. This elevated Zhao Hai's military strength. Don't forget, a lot of God ranks were present in the army. This caused Zhao Hai to have more God-rank undead compared to before.
However, Zhao Hai held great regret for not capturing Thunder Yun and turning him into undead. This was because Thunder Yun received Fei'er and the Thunder Clan's final attack, turning Thunder Yun straight into ash. In that state, it would be impossible for Zhao Hai to turn him into undead.
Although he felt pity about this, Zhao Hai still had other matters to think about. He first went to the Space to prepare the food for Fei'er's people. But since doing this would take a lot of time, Zhao Hai handed the matter over to Laura and the others. Meanwhile, Zhao Hai was currently inside the Demon Race's background.
Chapter 828 – Choosing A Place
The Demon Dragon King brought the Demon Army back to the Space. Naturally, they wouldn't do so in front of Fei'er and the others. Instead, Zhao Hai opened a rift right behind the Accra Mountains to make it seem like they entered the defensive line.
After entering the Space, the Demon Dragon King's group immediately smelled something nice. The Demon Dragon King turned his head to see many large pots on top of fires boiling meat soup. The soup's fragrance filled the entire place.
The Demon Dragon King gawked. At this time, Moqiao and Shidak arrived by the Demon Dragon King's side. They gave a salute before Moqiao said, "Demon Dragon, we apologize. While you were fighting outside, we already ate first. These things are prepared for you." The Demon Dragon King looked at the large pots and smiled, "That's a lot of meat. Did Mister send them to you?"
Shidak smiled as he nodded, "Mister sent it to us. Demon Dragon, aside from those Bread Fruits, there are also plenty of magic beasts. Those magic beasts aren't strong, however, they reproduce very fast. They can certainly provide enough food for us. This Space is indeed very good."
The Demon Dragon King nodded, then he said, "This Space is naturally good. Otherwise, His Majesty wouldn't have agreed to Mister Zhao Hai's proposal. Once all of the Demons move here, we would enjoy blissful lives."
Moqiao agreed, then he said, "We've made a more thorough investigation of the Space. Everything inside is very good. It has green grass, clear waters, magic beasts, and even more bread fruits. Even if all the Demons make it here, there won't be any shortage of food. With all of the things here, it would be impossible for us to become hungry."
The Demon Dragon King stayed silent, then he looked towards the Devil Legion and said, "Those wounded should get yourself treated. After that, you come out to eat before taking a good rest. We still have to fight in the next few days."
The soldiers from the Devil Legion complied as they turned around and got treated. Those who weren't injured went to a riverbank and washed themselves and their garments.
In the Space, these people could fully relax themselves. They wouldn't need to worry about being attacked. For the Devil Legion, this was a very rare experience.
The Devil Legion being killing gods wasn't false. These people were battle maniacs and were constantly fighting everywhere. Because of their special state, their mindsets were cold and were always alert to their surroundings.
But in the Space, they had found themselves to feel strange. Here, besides their clansmen, there were no other enemies nor any strong magic beasts to threaten their existence.
Actually, they weren't aware that the Space also had a slight healing effect. This healing also affected their battle addicted minds.
However, since the illness that the Devil Legion suffered was very serious, the healing would need a very long time before effects can be seen. Because of this, the Demon Dragon King didn't particularly notice it. The Demon Dragon King also went towards the river to wash his face before going towards a pot close to him. He took a taste of the meat soup before turning to Moqiao and said, "Moqiao, your people are really good at this. The soup tastes very good."
Moqiao took a bread fruit and then said, "This is completely because of the materials Mister gave us. Moreover, in this Space, the pile of commodities didn't only appear here. There were also piles on many other places. With this amount of supplied, we could fully re-establish our homes."
The Demon Dragon King took a bite of the bread fruit pulp and took a sip of the meat soup. After chewing for a moment, he said, "As I thought, Mister is quite thorough. Although we are presently united, it is still impossible for all Demons to live with each other. In the end, we would need to live in different places. Now that there are supplies in various places, our people would have their own place to choose from. Right, you still need to take charge of the people here. In two days, I will be bringing Mister with me to the Demon Realm."
Moqiao nodded, then he said, "I have already sent people from different races out today and let them choose a place for their people. If they like it, then they can settle down. It would be much better for them if they get to know of their environment before the rest of their people come in."
The Demon Dragon King placed his soup bowl down, he knit his eyebrows and said, "Right, will this cause any conflict? What if two races decide to live in the same place?"
Moqiao smiled and said, "It will be fine, there won't be any problems. In the Demon Realm, people only went to war with each other because there isn't anything much in their own domains, so they wanted to claim a better place for themselves. However, things are different in the Space. Everywhere is abundant in resources. Moreover, there are also different strong points in each place. Take this place for example, this place has a lot of Bread Fruits, however there aren't a lot of magic beasts here. On the other hand, places up in the north don't have a lot of bread fruits but they are abundant in grass, allowing a lot of magic beasts to thrive. Everyone has their own customs, so they would naturally pick different places."
The Demon Dragon King nodded, then he let out a long sigh and said, "It seems like the Demons have found their dreamland. Right, in the next few days, Mister Zhao Hai will dispatch troops to make an attack on the Divine Realm.
Moqiao stared and said, "That fast?"
The Demon Dragon King smiled and said, "It's not that fast. Mister Zhao Hai is working with other people this time so he doesn't need that much soldiers and we also won't lose anything."
Moqiao smiled and said, "That isn't what I'm worried about. I think Mister Zhao Hai is working too hard. Think about it, hasn't he been idle every since we arrived in the Ark Continent? If he wasn't fighting with us, then he would be fighting the Divine Race. And now that the Underworld had come, he became even more busy."
The Demon Dragon King replied, "How could he not be busy? After all, he is fighting for the Ark Continent. Now, he is faced with the three big races from the Divine Realm, the Thunder Clan, the Winged Pegasus Race, and the Barbarians. They wanted to attack the Divine Realm and pull Mister Zhao Hai in to participate. And don't forget, Mister has a big enmity with the Divine Race. He certainly wouldn't let this opportunity go."
Moqiao nodded and didn't speak anything more. The Demon Dragon King took a few munches of his food before he said, "His Majesty made the right decision to send the Devil Legion. Otherwise, we would have lost face for the Demon Race. There's no need to say about how strong Mister's undead were. And now there is the Thunder Clan, the Winged Pegasus, and the Barbarians, they're more formidable than we thought. If we sent our other soldiers, then we wouldn't have any face left to show Mister Zhao Hai." Moqiao smiled bitterly and said, "It seems like we have underestimated the Divine Realm. We thought that they were on our level, but now it seems like they are far stronger than us."
Demon Dragon King nodded and said, "That's true. In the beginning, we thought that the Divines are our equal. As it turns out, those who came to the Ark Continent only belonged to one continent out of 13 continents in the Divine Realm. Among those 13 continents, three of them are controlled by foreign races while 10 of them remained under the control of the Divine Race. The ones attacking the Ark Continent is merely a branch of the Divine Race, the Taurus Divines."
Moqiao didn't expect this, his complexion changed as he knit his brows and said, "Did Mister know about this?"
The Demon Dragon King nodded and said, "He knows, and it seems like he had known for a long time."
Moqiao frowned, his brows became tighter as he said, "Mister is already aware of this yet he still wants to attack the Divine Realm? This is totally unlike his character."
The Demon Dragon King smiled faintly and told Moqiao the reason. After talking, the Demon Dragon King added, "Because of this, we need to have our people move as soon as possible. We can't have them drag Mister for long."
Moqiao nodded and said, "So it was that. It's surely a good opportunity. However, it would be impossible for Mister to take the entire Demon Race in a short period of time."
The Demon Dragon King shook his head and said, "It should be possible. I think Mister already has an idea on how to proceed. The Space is a mysterious thing, I don't believe it would have no solutions."
Moqiao nodded, "Demon Dragon, have you sent a letter to his Majesty? At the very least he should know about the current situation."
The Demon Dragon King knit his brows and said, "I still don't have a fast way to do so."
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded out, "What's wrong? You want to send word to the Great Demon King?"
Both Moqiao and Demon Dragon turned their heads to see Zhao Hai standing behind. The two immediately gave Zhao Hai a salute before Zhao Hai waved his hand and said, "Be at ease. I came here since I saw some food. I haven't eaten yet so I want to try some. Right, Demon Dragon, this is for you. You can use it to contact His Majesty at any time." Then Zhao Hai took a messenger fish and gave it to the Demon Dragon King.
The Demon Dragon King was also aware that Zhao Hai didn't like too much politeness, so he received the messenger fish and thanked Zhao Hai before turning back. Then Zhao Hai took a bowl of meat soup for himself before he sat down and made conversation with Moqiao. Although Zhao Hai was being casual, Moqiao still felt pressure. After all, Zhao Hai was their benefactor, he couldn't just act casually all of a sudden.
There are differences in one's status no matter what each party says. People talking to their equals would naturally be more casual and might even develop friendship with each other. However, when one with superior status converses with average people, an intangible pressure can still be felt no matter how casual the superior person acts.
Chapter 829 – Environmental Awareness
Fei'er was currently sitting with his people, surrounding a heated metal pot. Their meal was the same as the Demons, meat soup and bread fruit. All these things have been sent earlier by the undead.
Although these things looked ordinary, Fei'er didn't think so. Where was this? This was the frontline. There might not be any problems having pots in the frontlines. However, how could an army acquire fresh meat at a place like this? Moreover, it was nice and warm. Wasn't this strange?
Additionally, Fei'er had a certain understanding of Zhao Hai in the past few days. He managed to block both the Demons and the Divine Race. And not only did he destroy the Divine Race army, he even got the Demons for himself.
To be honest, when Fei'er saw Zhao Hai leading the Demons to battle, his heart couldn't help but stop.
The Demon Race, that was the Demon Race! Fei'er was planning to propose an alliance with the Demons before they deal with the Divine Race. In his opinion, the Demons had the strength to oppose the Divine Race. And now, that same Demon Race has actually been subdued by Zhao Hai. This was too inconceivable.
Fei'er can only use one sentence to describe Zhao Hai's abilities, flipping the hand to gather clouds, and covering it to stop the rain. This was precisely because Zhao Hai had this ability that Fei'er decided to ask Zhao Hai for cooperation. He believed that with Zhao Hai's abilities, then there won't be any problems in dealing with the Divine Race.
Fei'er looked at the distant Barbarians and Winged Pegasus. In the past, these people haven't even heard of each other. But now, they were all solid allies. They were one in their goal, and that was to no longer be under the control of the Divine Race.
Fei'er was aware that this goal wasn't easy. He knew a lot about the Divine Race, so he knew how hard it was to escape from the Divine Race's grasp. The Taurus Divines alone can exterminate the Barbarians, the Winged Pegasus, and the Thunder Clan. But although the Taurus Divines had this ability, it still wasn't the strongest continent in the Divine Realm. There were still stronger Divines, and any one of them can eliminate the Thunder Clan many times over.
Because of this, not only do they need to pay attention to the Taurus Divine, they also need to listen for the movements of the other continents. Even if they managed to deal with the Taurus Divines, the other continent could still attack and subdue them.
Because of this, Fei'er thought about having an alliance with different races. This would allow them to have a proper foothold in the Divine Realm and hopefully deter the other continents from sending reinforcements.
However, Zhao Hai had exposed a major flaw in this plan. If the three races got into an alliance, then they would definitely attract the attention of the other Divines. When the time comes, the Divines would send troops to exterminate the three races.
After thinking about this, Fei'er couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. However, he still sent word back to the clan to have them prepare according to the original plan. This was done in the hopes that they would have enough time.
Because of this, he settled on inviting Zhao Hai. Fei'er thinks that cooperating with Zhao Hai was the best decision.
But in the end, Fei'er still needed to ascertain Zhao Hai's ability. Although he wasn't aware about what Zhao Hai needed to do in the next few days, Fei'er knew that it must be related to the Demons. Fei'er wanted to see how Zhao Hai delivers on his promise. If Zhao Hai does a good job, then Fei'er would fully cooperate with him. If Zhao Hai had problems in feeding them, then Fei'er would have reservations in their cooperation.
Although Fei'er's status wasn't the member with the highest status in the Thunder Clan, he is after all the person next in line to be the leader. Actually, this status was brought about by Thunder Yun. With the loyal Fei'er acting as the leader of the Thunder Clan, Thunder Yun would have more power over them.
Unfortunately for Thunder Yun, Fei'er was an actual bomb placed beside him. Fei'er was truly the person next to be the Patriarch. When Thunder Yun administered the position, the Thunder Clan immediately agreed. This turned the Thunder Clan into obedient people in front of Thunder Yun. This caused Thunder Yun to have the Thunder Clan as his personal guards.
Fei'er being the next in line to be patriarch wasn't because of his strength. Instead, it was because Fei'er was intelligent. Because of this, the Thunder Clan sent him to be by Thunder Yun's side.
It was precisely because of this status that Fei'er still had some pull in the Thunder Clan. Otherwise, the Thunder Clan wouldn't have agreed to cooperating with Zhao Hai.
At this time, the Barbarians and the Winged Pegasus people also have their own thoughts. Although they have a custom of thinking of their undead brethren to be the same as alive, they were still a bit angry at Zhao Hai. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent their elites to the Ark Continent.
However, this small hatred wouldn't hinder their cooperation with Zhao Hai. The current matters was more important than past grudges. Most importantly, their hatred for the Divine Race completely dwarfs Zhao Hai's action.
Zhao Hai didn't know about any of these. After spending some time with the Demons, Zhao Hai returned to his villa and looked at the monitor. At this time, the Thunder Clan and the others were resting. Zhao Hai closed the monitor and then looked for Laura and the others only to find out that they were busy as well.
Presently, the Space had a lot of commodities. Because of this, Zhao Hai wasn't afraid of supplying the Demons as well as the Thunder Clan and the others. After all, if this can move their hearts, then why not?
The matters that Laura and the others were busy with weren't a lot. They just need to send supplies to the Demons and the others, they didn't need to worry about the Divine Race.
After seeing that Laura and the others were almost done, Zhao Hai turned around and headed to the kitchen to prepare some food.
Zhao Hai hadn't gone in the kitchen for a long time. Back on earth. Zhao Hai was a greedy eater. Not only did he like to eat, he loved to cook as well.
At that time, his job was at home writing drafts. This gave him a lot of free time. In order to relax himself, he would cook. This allowed his cooking skill to be good. Naturally, he couldn't compare with those great chefs, but even so, his home cooking was still acceptable.
After he finished cooking, Laura and the others were also done with their work. When they saw that Zhao Hai had prepared food for them, they were startled. Zhao Hai looked at their reactions and then smiled, "Alright, no need to be shocked. Come over and eat."
Laura and the others immediately went to washed their hands before sitting on the table. Although Zhao Hai's dishes weren't as delicious as Meg's, they were still quite good.
After seeing their faces, Zhao Hai couldn't help but smile bitterly. He always thought that he had been unfair to his wives. Fortunately, they didn't blame Zhao Hai. Otherwise, Zhao Hai wouldn't have known what to do. If they became angry at him, then Zhao Hai would have no other choice but to hole up inside his room in the Space.
After the group ate, they went to sit inside the living room. Zhao Hai looked at the others who were rubbing their bellies and said, "My food isn't that good. There's no need to eat that much."
Laura and the others rolled their eyes as they decided to not respond. At this time, Cai'er cam flying in and said, "Young Master, today's events have been broadcasted to the people in the Space. There was a huge reaction but nobody blamed you. Do you also want to broadcast what happened next?"
Zhao Hai thought for a moment and said, "Show it. Let them know about our current situation. Right, in addition to the plan, tell them that I would be going to the Demon Realm tomorrow. Tell them about the Demon Realm's situation to let them know how bad the environment was."
Laura looked at Zhao Hai in confusion, she said, "Brother Hai, do we need to do this? You really don't need to say good things about the Demons."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "It's not like I want to praise the Demons, I just want the people to know the state of other places aside from the Ark Continent and the Space. Later on, when we go to the Divine Realm, we'll also broadcast our trip. There are too many people in the Space and there really isn't anything else to do. At the very least, we can provide them with something to pass the time."
After thinking about it, Zhao Hai ruminated about the idea of televisions and movies. Those two were good avenues for propaganda.
Laura and the others didn't think that this was bad, instead they thought that it was too troublesome. But since Zhao Hai wanted to push through with this plan, they didn't oppose.
The group was somewhat tired today so they rested early. What they don't know was the fact that their broadcasts had kept people up all night.
Just as Zhao Hai said, people in the Ark Space lacked things to do. And with Zhao Hai's battles being better than any movie, the people naturally would be hooked to it for a long time.
After the battle ended, the projection showed Zhao Hai and Fei'er's negotiation.
Then the projection changed and showed the Beastman Prairie. The dark mist and undead could be distinctly seen. This also gave the people understanding about why Zhao Hai took them to the Space.
It can be said that the influence of this broadcast was huge. This made all of the races in the Space have an understanding about the Divine Race and the Demons, especially the Divine Race. These people didn't think that the Divine Race would be this formidable. Moreover, there seems to be more than ten continents in the Divine Realm.
With how the broadcast was shown, the people were able to understand Zhao Hai's position. This ignited a sense of gratitude towards Zhao Hai.
When all of the content was done, the sky was already turning bright. The people felt dizzy so they immediately went to sleep. However, the contents of the broadcast was still replaying in their mind.
On the other hand, Zhao Hai woke up. He had breakfast in the villa before asking Laura and the others to take care of the food for Fei'er and the others. At the same time, Zhao Hai went to the Demons and prepared to head towards the Demon Realm with the Demon Dragon King.
To be honest, Zhao Hai was very curious about the Demon Realm. Although Cai'er already provided him with ample information, Zhao Hai was still very interested in seeing it for himself. He wanted to see what the environment really was.
By the time Zhao Hai arrived at the Demon Space, the Demon Dragon King and the other Demons were already up. While the Demon Dragon King was waiting for Zhao Hai, the other Demons were actually busy with other matters.
After seeing Zhao Hai arrive, the Demon Dragon King immediately went forward and gave a salute, "Mister, you came. When do we leave?'
Zhao Hai looked at the busy Demons and smiled, "We can leave immediately. Right, if there's anything you need, then don't forget to tell me. I will certainly find a way to provide.'
The Demon Dragon King looked grateful as he said, "Thanks mister. If it's possible, we would like to ask for some stones. Can you provide us some?"
Zhao Hai stared, he looked puzzled at the Demon Dragon King's request. He looked at the Demon Dragon King and said, "Stones? You want me to give you stones? There are a lot of mountains in this Space and there are stone deposits there, you can just take it for yourselves."
The Demon Dragon King embarrassingly replied, "Mister, to be honest, the place is so beautiful that we are afraid to damage it. If we mine the mountains, then the trees might die. We, we can't do that."
Zhao Hai couldn't help but stare blankly before smiling bitterly. It seems like the Demons were really affected by their bad environment. Now, it seems like they were completely concerned in preserving their new place. But this is also good, it means that they wouldn't destroy the Space.
After seeing that Zhao Hai didn't respond, the Demon Dragon King thought that Zhao Hai had gotten angry, so he quickly said, "It's alright if mister can't do it. After we return to the Demon Realm, I can have the Demons harvest some stones there and then bring them back to the Space."
When he heard the Demon Dragon King, Zhao Hai couldn't help but laugh, then he said, "That's also fine. How about this, since I have a lot of idle undead, I can have them help you gather some stones. What you said is right, the Space is indeed beautiful, it would be great if it doesn't get destroyed."
Upon hearing Zhao Hai's reply, the Demon Dragon King happily agreed. After their conversation, the Demon Dragon King immediately brought Zhao Hai to the Demonic Abyss before they flew towards the Demon Realm.
Chapter 830 – Poisonous Grass Is Also Useful?
It was a blood red world!
The sky was red, a deep shade of red, looking like viscous blood. Naturally, since it was daytime, the sun was also up. However, this sun looked like it was wrapped in red film. The light that the sun projected was a faint dark red, it was completely different compared to the daylight in the Ark Continent.
Besides this dark red sky, there was also a reddish black land. It looked like deserted landscape. There were some low lying plants here and there. Although they had green leaves, the shade of green wasn't something normally seen in plants.
Although the grass looked like the ones in the prairie, Zhao Hai could feel that the grass were clumps of poisonous snakes growing out of the ground, looking for an opportunity to bite.
Aside from the grasses, one could also see some stones and sandy soil. The Demon Realm looks like there was nothing inside it. Even if one could see some trees, they weren't tall enough nor big enough to be described as so. The entire atmosphere exuded a depressing feeling.
At this time, the Demon Dragon King lightly sighed before he turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, just a few words of advice. Don’t underestimate the grasses of the Demon Realm. Some of these poisonous grasses hold poison that can even kill God-rank experts."
Zhao Hai turned to the Demon Dragon King with a puzzled expression. The Demon Dragon King continued, "In the Demon Realm, almost all plant life is poisonous. The only difference between their poisons is the intensity. The reason why we eat the seven colored vine in the Demon Realm was because it had the least toxicity out of all the plants here. And although two grasses looks similar, one could be virtually harmless while the other can kill you instantly."
Zhao Hai stared before he gave out a sigh, "No wonder the Demons wanted the Ark Continent, the environment is indeed terrible!."
At the same time, the conditions of the Demon Realm was also broadcasted to the people in the Space.
At this point, the people in the Space were already used to looking at the broadcasts every day. The contents of the broadcast today startled them. They have never seen an environment like this. The people in the Space thought that the display was showing hell.
However, after the voice came, they understood that this wasn't hell, instead it was actually the Demon Realm!
Now, the people in the Space already knew about the Demons being allied with Zhao Hai. For the people in the Space, this was exciting news.
They didn't have much dislike of the Demons. This was mainly because in the battle against the Demons, Zhao Hai was the one doing the most fights, the losses to the Ark Continent wasn't very big.
Zhao Hai wasn't aware of this as he and the Demon Dragon King flew forward. There are only the two of them, there were no escorts.
Zhao Hai looked all around the Demon Realm and saw that the overall situation was quite similar. They even saw one or two Demons who wanted to attack them. Fortunately, those Demons weren't able to fly, otherwise, things would be annoying.
Their speed wasn't fast, as Zhao Hai was looking around, he turned to the Demon Dragon King and said, "Where do you live?" The Demon Dragon King replied, "The capital. That is the Demon Realm's biggest and most fortified city. Most importantly, sealed below the city is the largest spatial rift between the Demon Realm and the Underworld."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "How long does it take for us to reach the capital?"
The Demon Dragon King quickly replied, "It wouldn't be long, about two hours. If we go slow, we would arrive in four hours."
Zhao Hai hesitated for a moment before he waved his hand. Before long, a big hand appeared and grasped a clump of grass then sent it to the Space.
The Demon Dragon King looked at Zhao Hai in confusion, he didn't know what he was planning to do. Actually, Zhao Hai just wanted to see how different this grass was compared to ordinary ones.
Just as the grass entered the Space, a prompt was immediately heard, "Fierce toxin detected. Dark attribute grass. Not suitable for growing in the Space. Not suitable for growing in ordinary backgrounds. Suitable for growing inside Hell background. Helpful in improving Hell background."
Zhao Hai was stunned when he heard this prompt. He didn't really think that this place would grow in the hell background. This was a surprise for Zhao Hai.
The Demon Dragon King looked at Zhao Hai and discovered a smile on Zhao Hai's face. The Demon Dragon King couldn't help but ask, "Mister, did something good happen?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Something good arrived. Right, can you have the other Demons help me in collecting plants and magic beasts from the Demon Realm? It doesn't matter if they are poisonous or not. Moreover, they need to be alive."
The Demon Dragon King stared blankly, then he asked, "Why does Mister want to collect these things? Do they help you with something?" Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Right, they have some use to me. Moreover, if those poisons are used well, then I might be able to make good medicine. So what do you think? Can you help me?"
The Demon Dragon King nodded and said, "No problem. When we see His Majesty, we can ask those who will go to the Space to bring some plants and beasts along with them."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Right, plants and magic beasts. However, there's no need to go out of their way. We don't want them to be hurt by aggressive magic beasts or get poisoned by plants." The Demon Dragon King smiled and said, "Mister, rest assured, nothing bad will happen. We Demons have lived in the Demon Realm for so many years. Unless it is a large beast tide, they won't pose a threat to us.'
Zhao Hai nodded, "Good, then it's settled. Let's go and see His Majesty, I want to see how far the migration has progressed. After all, our time is too short." The Demon Dragon King smiled and said, "There's shouldn't be any problems. With His Majesty in charge, the whole Demon Realm should already be prepared." Zhao Hai smiled and didn't say anything else. After that the two accelerated their flying speed.
While on their way, Zhao Hai also encountered small settlements. These settlements weren't very large. It seems like they house about a thousand to a hundred thousand people. Although these places were small, their walls were very thick and high. All of them seem like fortresses. The Demon Dragon King pointed at those small towns and said, "Almost everyone in the Demon Realm lived in places like these. Since there are a lot of magic beasts in the Demon Realm, one would certainly meet groups of them in the wild. If one doesn't live in places like these, then they would have a very small chance of surviving."
Zhao Hai nodded and gave a slight smile. To be honest, the Demon Realm was really the worst place he's ever seen. He was even sure that the air was poisoned. It was only because the Space had an antidote that it didn't bother telling Zhao Hai about the toxicity in the air.
At the same time, Zhao Hai also understood why the Demons grew up the way they were. It was due to the bad environment. In order to suit their environment, they needed to adapt.
Survival of the fittest! This was the rule of nature. And this rule was completely driven into overdrive in the Demon Realm. The Demons needed to undergo through generations of evolution just so they could survive. In the end, they arrived at their current appearances.
Two hours after they sped up, Zhao Hai could finally see a giant city in the distance. This city was no worse than any capital in the Ark continent. With dark red stones being used to construct it, the city looked very majestic.
While the two haven't even arrived at the capital, they could already see the Devil's chariot outside the city. Zhao Hai immediately knew that this was the Great Demon King coming to welcome him. The two immediately headed for the chariot to give their greetings. Before long, Zhao Hai can see the Great Demon King waiting for him.
Upon seeing Zhao Hai, the Great Demon King laughed and said, "I didn't think Mister would deal with the Divine Race this quickly. This calls for celebration, Mister, please come inside." Zhao Hai wasn't overly polite, he immediately entered the chariot after giving a salute. The Demon Dragon King also quickly went after them.
Zhao Hai entered the chariot and saw that the decorations inside were still the same. There was still the small table with dishes and a pot of liquor.
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and then sat at the small table along with the Great Demon King and the Demon Dragon King. After everyone has settled, the Great Demon King looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Mister had just defeated the Divine Race army, but you still chose to come here. I have to thank Mister for this."
Zhao Hai smiled and then said, "It's nothing. In any case, the others still needed some time so I just chose to come here. Right, has everything been prepared?" The Great Demon King smiled and said, "Almost ready, as long as Mister opens the spatial rifts, the Demons can immediately move to the Space."
Zhao Hai nodded and then he said, "Right, I have something to trouble Your Majesty. I want to collect plants and animals from the Demon Realm. I hope Your Majesty an assist me with this."
The Great Demon King stared, then he knit his eyebrows as he replied, "Does Mister know the specific things he wants?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Not too many requests. First, they need to be alive. Second, the more varieties the better. Naturally, there's no need gather those that are dangerous to acquire."
The Great Demon King relaxed and said, "This is easy. When can Mister open the spatial rift?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I can open it any time. I just saw some Demons going towards the capital. How about this, I'll open a spatial rift here and have those Demons enter. Then after that, I will leave my blood ghost staff behind. Your Majesty can carry my staff to the different cities. As long as you go there with the staff, then I would be able to open my spatial rifts. With this, everyone shouldn't be subjected to dangerous migration paths."
The Great Demon King gawked, then he nodded and said, "That would be best. Mister can open the spatial rift right now, I will immediately have the Demons enter the Space."
Zhao Hai didn't object, he nodded before he waved his hand and opened a huge spatial right just outside the capital.
Chapter 831 – Unknown Future
The Great Demon King didn't expect Zhao Hai to be this fast. He stared for a moment before he laughed, "Alright, mister moves very quick. Then I will have to be impolite. Mister, please stay here for a moment while I arrange my people."
When the Great Demon King stood up, Zhao Hai did the same as he said, "Your Majesty, I won't be staying here for long. I have to go back to the Space and arrange some things. I'll leave my blood ghost staff here so you can take it with you. Just use the messenger fish to contact me and I'll immediately open a spatial rift. Demon Dragon can stay here with you. There won't be any battles in the next few days, he can help you relocate the other Demons."
The Great Demon King looked at the staff in his hand. The staff was currently in its skeleton form, it wasn't a staff used by most people. However, the Great Demon King knew the significance of this staff to Zhao Hai. Being handed the staff moved the Great Demon King's heart.
The Great Demon King nodded and said, "That would be best. Since mister has something else to do, then I won't hold you here for long. Me and Demon Dragon can take care of everything here."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Then I'll bother Your Majesty with this. The Space has been prepared, your Majesty can rest assured." The Great Demon King gave another thanks. Then Zhao Hai left the chariot and then flashed back to the Space.
The reason why Zhao Hai left quickly was because he needed to talk with Fei'er and the others. No matter what, they were still allies, being in constant contact with them would be good. This way, they would have better coordination in the future.
Originally, Zhao Hai wanted to take his time in the Demon Realm. And since he didn't want to reveal a lot of things, he didn't think about handing the blood ghost staff over to the Great Demon King.
However after further thinking, all of the Demons would enter the Space, so handing the blood ghost staff over to the Great Demon King would be more than enough. Because of this, Zhao Hai decided to give the blood ghost staff to the Great Demon King so that he can leave and contact Fei'er and the others.
Just as Zhao Hai entered the Space, Laura and the others were currently looking at the monitor. The image displayed on the monitor was the state of the Demon Realm. To be honest, they didn't think that the Demon Realm would be as bad as this.
After they saw that Zhao Hai had come back, Laura and the others immediately went forward to greet him. Laura looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Hai, you're back? Didn't you that you would stay in the Demon Realm for a couple of days?"
Zhao Hai replied, "There is no need for me to be there, I couldn't offer further help in transferring the Demons. It would be better if I get in touch with Fei'er's group instead. Right, I also left the blood ghost staff to the Great Demon King."
Laura stared, then she nodded and said, "Leaving the staff with the Great Demon King is also good. In any case, the staff could map the Demon Realm.'
Zhao Hao nodded, then he asked, "How are Fei'er and the others doing? Did anything significant happen?"
Laura shook her head and said, "Everything is very normal. We've already sent them their meals, they ready to eat."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he sat on the sofa and let out a long breath, "How about the Ark Space? The people have seen the condition of the Demon Realm, what response did they have?"
Laura smiled and then said, "There's no excessive reaction. People seem to not be very disgusted by the Demons. They just look at the Demon Realm as though it was a story."
Zhao Hai felt relied, he said, "It's good that they aren't angry. I thought I need to spend some time to improve their view towards the Demons, it seems like there's no need for that. Right, send me outside, I want to have a chat with Fei'er."
Laura nodded, then Cai'er waved her hand as she sent Zhao Hai to a city in the Buddha Empire. It wasn't a big city so it couldn't house several tens of millions of soldiers. Majority of the army rested outside the city. Still, there was no problem regarding food. As for Fei'er and the others, they took their rest inside the city.
Zhao Hai directly appeared in the city, causing the attention of the surrounding soldiers to focus on him. After they saw Zhao Hai, one of them immediately went to Fei'er to report.
Zhao Hai didn't block them as he just waited there in place. Before long, Fei'er came, Shan and Yue were absent.
However, Zhao Hai can also understand why this was the case. He killed so many people from those two races. Although the custom of those people saw the undead as another form of life, a thread of hatred was still present. Therefore, it was an appropriate move if those people don't meet him.
At this time, Fei'er arrived by Zhao Hai and gave a salute, "I didn't think mister would see us today, wasn't mister quite busy?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "I found some time to visit. Let's go in and talk" Fei'er nodded and led Zhao Hai to the place where he rested, which was the city lord's mansion.
There wasn't anything inside this mansion, after all, Zhao Hai already took everything out of the Ark Continent. Although the mansion looked quite spacious, it was only due to it being empty.
However, it was also great the Fei'er and the others were quite capable people with formidable bodies. Because of this, they didn't care about resting in this place. Fei'er didn't even sleep in the bedroom, there was no need to do so since there was no bed.
After entering the empty hall, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but smile. He turned to Fei'er and said, "Mister Fei'er, I apologize. The things in this mansion has already been taken by me."
Fei'er smiled faintly and said, "No problem, we're already quite used to it. Right, why did mister come today? Is there anything you like to talk about?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Mister Fei'er, what opinion does the Barbarians and the Winged Pegasus people have on me?"
Fei'er didn't expect Zhao Hai to ask this question, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. The Barbarians and the Winged Pegasus did indeed have some reservations towards Zhao Hai. However, Fei'er believed that they wouldn't take revenge against Zhao Hai. This was because there was still a bigger enemy in the horizon.
And now that Zhao Hai asked, he didn't know what to say. Zhao Hai saw Fei'er's expression and sighed, "I know that they have some bad outlook towards me. After all, I can't deny killing their own people. However, I hope that this wouldn't affect our cooperation."
Fei'er quickly replied, "Mister can rest assured, the cooperation wouldn't be affected."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "I have no choice at that time. I didn't know that they weren't part of the Divine Race. I expected them to be part of the Divine Race army."
Fei'er looked confused at Zhao Hai. In their previous discussion, Zhao Hai seemed to know a lot about the Divine Realm. Normally, he shouldn't be able to know about the Divine Realm's matters.
Zhao Hai looked at Fei'er and smiled bitterly, "Did you wonder why I'm very familiar with the Divine Realm?"
Fei'er nodded, Zhao Hai forced a smile and said, "Don't forget that I'm a dark mage. After killing the Divine Race and turning them into undead, I can ask them about the matters of the Divine Realm."
When Fei'er heard Zhao Hai, his eyes suddenly showed his understanding. He actually forgot that Zhao Hai was a Dark Mage.
Zhao Hai looked at Fei'er and said, "Although I knew about the Barbarians and the Winged Pegasus, my knowledge isn't that much. The Barbarians and the Winged Pegasus haven't been conquered in a day or two, so I wasn't aware that they still held their resentment towards the Divine Race. When they planned to attack the Ark Continent, I can't risk my people being killed. Because of that, I had no choice but to kill them."
Fei'er nodded, he can understand Zhao Hai. To be honest, if Zhao Hai held back against the Barbarians and the Winged Pegasus at that time, then the Ark Continent wouldn't have been in its current state. Instead, the Ark Continent would have already fallen to the Divine Race. Moreover, Zhao Hai wouldn't have been here to become their ally. Most importantly, Zhao Hai was very strong, it would be strange if he doesn't go for the kill.
From what was said before, Fei'er didn't intend to become allies with Zhao Hai, instead he wanted to invite the Demon Race. If Zhao Hai wasn't strong, then they wouldn’t have been speaking at this time. Strength decides everything, this was something that Fei'er completely understood.
Zhao Hai looked at Fei'er's expression and said, "This time, we need to quickly deal with the Divine Race, we can't be slow. North of the Ark Continent is a rift to the Underworld. Undead from the Underworld have already come out of the rift. If we delay, the undead and the Divine Race might attack us from both sides. That wouldn't be good for us."
Fei'er nodded, his expression was somewhat heavy. Although he believed that they had the strength to deal with the Divine Race, he still didn't underestimate the Divine Race. There were still 9 other Divine Race continents in the Divine Realm aside from the Taurus Continent. What reaction would the other continents have? This remained unknown. All their previous discussion was merely speculation.
If the other continents sent reinforcements towards the Taurus Divines, then things would be extremely difficult. All 9 continent's doesn't even need to send reinforcements. As long as a form of reinforcement came, then things would still get more difficult.
