Chapter 233: One Year (2)

Three days later.

Meng Chuan and his wife streaked across the sky. Liu Qiyue pulled her divine bow and shot two fire arrows. The arrows killed the two second Firmament demon monarchs that had wreaked havoc in the county city.

“The demons are attacking daily,” said Meng Chuan solemnly as he continued to rescue cities with his wife.

“Yes, although the number of county cities that are being attacked have decreased after the first day, there are still eight cities that need rescue. Furthermore, they are quite far from each other,” said Liu Qiyue. “They are scattered in all directions, making us spend more time traveling. Furthermore, the attacks on county cities are mainly done by second Firmament demon monarchs. Third Firmament demon monarchs occasionally take action.”

Although second Firmament demon monarchs are weak, they can still massacre the mortals easily. I hate that we can only rescue cities one by one. Meng Chuan felt anxious and pained.

This world was too cruel.

When will people be able to live in peace and prosperity just like they lived 800 years ago?

Could he and Qiyue live to see a peaceful era?

…

“The fort ahead was attacked by a second Firmament demon monarch. That fort has over 2000 villagers who were unwilling to relocate. They are still staying there.” An Earth Net Godfiend saw beacon smoke rising in the distance as a wolf-headed demon monarch destroyed the village fort crazily.

“Lord, Archean Mountain strictly forbids Earth Net Godfiends from attacking demon monarchs without permission,” said his subordinate immediately. “Demon monarchs are now very cunning. On the surface, there’s only one second Firmament demon monarch. There might be a third Firmament demon monarch lurking in the shadows. Once you appear to stop the second Firmament demon monarch, I believe a third Firmament demon monarch team will soon pursue you.”

“I understand.” The Indestructible Godfiend clenched his fists as he stared at the rising smoke in the distance. All he could do was watch helplessly.

“We have already reported to the higher-ups for help. Let’s leave it to the Patrollers,” persuaded his subordinate.

“Let’s go.” The Earth Net Godfiend turned and left in agony.

…

The most obvious characteristic of this round of attacks was that the demons were more cunning. The demon monarchs who attacked the cities were all bait. If Earth Net Godfiends attacked, they would likely encounter powerful demon monarchs that would pursue them. Elite Godfiend teams—like Yan Jin’s team—would occasionally be pursued by powerful demon monarch teams.

When it came to Godfiends that were more efficient at killing demon monarchs like Meng Chuan, Marquis Godfiends, and Regis Godfiends, the surrounding demon monarchs would quickly vanish once they appeared.

“Since we can’t split ourselves, there are many places we can’t rescue in time.” Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue were also worried. Finally, the couple decided to write a letter to Archean Mountain.

“By acting alone, I can provide help faster. I can also save more cities and more people.” Meng Chuan looked at his wife, Liu Qiyue. “Qiyue, you have to be even more careful in the future.”

“I’m a sharpshooter that has reached the Realm of Dao. As long as I have a few powerful Godfiends supporting me, I can kill that Demon Monarch Elephant with one arrow. I can do better than Yan Jin’s Godfiend team,” said Liu Qiyue confidently. “If I’m really forced into a corner and have to use Phoenix’s Nirvana… I’ll have the strength of a peak Marquis Godfiend. As for you, Ah Chuan, it’s more dangerous for you to act alone.”

Meng Chuan smiled. “My current strength is comparable to an ordinary Marquis Godfiend. Don’t worry.”

The couple wrote the letter and sent it out. The next day, they received a reply from Archean Mountain.

The couple opened the letter.

“Rejected?” Meng Chuan and his wife read the letter together. Archean Mountain rejected their suggestion and had them continue working together.

“Your safety is of paramount importance. In this war, the demons’ true targets are Godfiends. If more than half of the Godfiends die, we will lose the human world completely. Humanity will face an extinction event. We have to ensure that every single Godfiend remains alive. Even so, Archean Mountain has lost sixteen Godfiends in the past month. They are all Godfiends from elite Godfiend teams. The two of you have to watch out for ambushes. Furthermore, you have to act together every time.”

Meng Chuan and his wife fell silent when they read the letter.

They understood the decision from Archean Mountain’s point of view. Archean Mountain would rather lower the efficiency of rescue teams so that all Godfiends’ safety was guaranteed.

From a logical point of view, this was right! Mortals reproduced very quickly. The population could rise very quickly in just a few decades. However, it was very difficult to nurture Godfiends. Every powerful Archean Mountain Godfiend consumed a lot of resources. For example, Meng Chuan consumed a lot of resources just to cultivate his baneful aura, likewise for his training in the physical body cultivation system.

The opportunities in Archean Eon Grotto-Heaven, Quiescence Frost baneful aura, Scarlet Blood Divine Pills, and so on… In addition to Meng Chuan’s talent, all these resources helped forge the current Meng Chuan.

A powerful Godfiend needed both talent and resources; neither could be done without.

Every Godfiend had to be cherished. There were too few Godfiends compared to demon monarchs. Therefore, weaker Archean Mountain inner sect disciples had returned to the mountain. Only elite Godfiend teams acted as reinforcements.

…

Time passed.

The demons and humans continued fighting. Demon monarchs attacked county cities and village forts constantly, forcing Godfiends to appear so that they had an easier time killing Godfiends.

However, Archean Mountain had set an iron rule. Earth Net Godfiends were not permitted to involve themselves in such conflicts! Most of Archean Mountain’s inner sect disciples cultivated on the mountain. Occasionally, under the leadership of powerful Godfiends, they would go out and destroy demon monarch lairs for training.

Only a group of top disciples had the qualifications to form a team and engage in battle for a long time. Even so, after a long time, some would occasionally die in battle.

Due to the frequency of such brutal battles, Archean Mountain produced two newly-advanced Marquis Godfiends in a year.

One was the famous Xue Feng. He had finally become a Marquis Godfiend realm at 43 years of age. He was considered very young. The other was Yang Huayu, who was slightly older. He had finally become a Marquis Godfiend at the age of 71.

The number of peak Great Solar Godfiends that died in battle this year had far exceeded previous years. However, they had also gained two Marquis Godfiends this year.

As for village forts, they disappeared in the past year. Mortals were scattered all across the vast world. This made their lives much safer. After all, on average, there would be one demon monarch attack a day in a county. By living separately—although they would definitely die if they encountered demon monarchs—it was fairly unlikely for them to encounter demon monarchs.

Even county cities began to empty out. This was because the demons attacked county cities too frequently. Only county cities under a Regis or Marquis Godfiend’s purview were safe. Since Meng Chuan was fast enough, the prefectures he protected—including Eastcalm Prefecture—were relatively safe. However, over half of the world’s county city population had halved. Most had moved into the wilderness.

…

Under the sea bed in the South Sea’s depths, a small grotto-heaven hidden in a mysterious spot.

A luxurious palace stood inside the grotto-heaven. Three greater demon monarchs waited outside the palace hall.

“In the past year, the demon sage has never asked about the war situation. He has finally summoned us today.”

“We’ve done quite well this year. We’ve also managed to gather sufficient information. I believe that the demon sage will be satisfied.”

“I hope so.”

The three greater demon monarchs stood outside the hall, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Finally, the hall’s door opened.

“Come in.” An ancient voice rang out.

The three greater demon monarchs entered the main hall nervously. They immediately saw a sloppy-looking elder sitting in the main hall—who was looking down at them.

“Greetings, Demon Sage.” The three greater demon monarchs knelt respectfully.

Demon sage…

In the Demon Realm, demon sages were second only to Imperial Lords. He was much stronger than the three greater demon monarchs.

“The three of you are in charge of all the demon monarchs in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Black Sand Dynasty, and the Great Yue Dynasty.” The demon sage looked down and said, “I haven’t asked about the situation over the past year. Now, tell me how the attacks on the three dynasties have gone?”
