Stronger with Crimson Modifier

From then on, the Cangzhou Realm was split in two.

The Boundary City stood tall between the Human and Demon Races, an insurmountable barrier separating them.

...

The thousands of miles surrounding Tai Ze Lake and Tai Lake County had now fallen into the hands of the Demon Race.

The once-prosperous buildings now lay in ruins. All traces of the Human Race had long vanished, replaced by the figures of various members of the Demon Race.

At the bottom of the lake, Swallow River Palace still stood, though the parts damaged in previous battles had been repaired.

Inside the hall, Hu Qi sat on the main seat, a calm expression on his face as he listened to Hong Yuan's report on recent events.

Everything was proceeding as he had expected.

Without absolute certainty, maintaining a balance was the norm. This was true everywhere.

"Big Brother, now that you're back, we can finally unite this realm and slaughter all those Human Race Cultivators!"

Jin Ling'Er, standing to the side, spoke with a voice full of hatred.

Evidently, due to the past incident with Wang Zhiyuan, her resentment for Human Race Cultivators ran deep.

The feeling of having had even her own preferences manipulated was something she could not let go of.

Now, nourished by the Dragon Transformation Spring, the two demons had successfully undergone Dragon Transformation.

In Hu Qi's eyes, their original Snake Demon Features had vanished, replaced by a Red Dragon and a Yellow Dragon.

Moreover, both of them had broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm, with Hong Yuan even approaching the threshold of the Divinity Transformation Realm.

With nearly all of the Cangzhou Realm's top combatants wiped out by Hu Qi, such strength was already at the pinnacle of the Demon Race, enough to determine the entire race's direction.

"I have no interest in Commanding the world. Besides, I won't be staying in this realm for long."

Hu Qi shook his head. Then, with a grasp of his hand, two wisps of brilliant light appeared in his palm.

With a casual wave, the two streams of Immortal Energy—enough to make countless Cultivators and members of the Demon Race fight to the death—shot directly into the bodies of Jin Ling'Er and Hong Yuan.

"These two streams of Immortal Energy will lay the foundation for your Ascension to Immortality and help you become Demon Immortals within a hundred years.

I don't care what you do.

But you must remember: the Human Race and the Cultivators of this realm must not be wiped out.

The best-case scenario is to maintain the status quo.

If one race nears extinction, you must intervene at the appropriate time to correct the course of events. Do you understand?"

Hu Qi's gaze swept over Jin Ling'Er and Hong Yuan, his voice calm yet admitting no argument.

Hu Qi had no intention of interfering much with the current situation.

For him, if it were the Human Race of Blue Star or Earth Star, he might have lent a hand.

But the Human Race of this realm gave him no sense of belonging.

Though they were all of the Human Race, their worlds were different, and their Physiques were vastly dissimilar.

It was like how a gorilla's and a human's DNA are 98.8% similar, but would a human consider a gorilla one of their own kind?

Obviously not.

When it came down to it,

Hong Yuan and Jin Ling'Er, two members of the Demon Race, were his 'younger brother and sister' in name.

"Yes, Big Brother!"

Jin Ling'Er and Hong Yuan exchanged a look, sensing the terrifying Vitality contained within the Immortal Energy in their bodies. They were shaken to the core and immediately replied with reverence.

After that, Hu Qi gave a few simple instructions before his figure vanished, and he left the area.

The two demons gazed at the empty seat above, their expressions complex.

They were fundamentally unable to fathom Hu Qi's current strength. It was simply Infinite.

They had no idea what level he had reached.

'To think he could casually give away something like Immortal Energy.'

But when they recalled the scene of Hu Qi slaughtering a host of immortals, it all seemed to make sense.

"Second Brother, what should we do now?"

At that, Jin Ling'Er turned her head to ask Hong Yuan, who was beside her.

"Naturally, we follow Big Brother's command. We stop all actions against the Human Race, enter secluded cultivation, and achieve Ascension to Immortality as soon as possible!"

Hong Yuan said in a heavy voice.

"Though I don't understand why Big Brother made such arrangements, I'm sure he has a profound reason. We just need to manage this realm well for him."

He paused, then looked at Jin Ling'Er.

"I know you still harbor resentment, but you should have vented most of it by now. Just obediently enter secluded cultivation with me!"

"I know!"

Jin Ling'Er nodded in agreement.

However,

a flash of unwillingness flickered in the depths of her eyes.

Hong Yuan, of course, keenly caught this.

However, he said no more.

Knowing that further words would be useless, he simply sighed to himself, resolving to keep a closer eye on her in the future to prevent her from doing anything impulsive.
