The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1625: Chapter 1625: Submission

Jing Yan’s thoughts quickly shifted.

This Demon Ancestor actually knows the Ten Thousand Realms Technique, and he even noticed that I have practiced it.

Indeed, the Sky Demon Clan was created by the Primordial Chaos Hole Ancestor, and since Jing Yan received the inheritance of the Primordial Chaos Hole Ancestor, he could be considered a disciple of the Ancestor. In this sense, Jing Yan does have some connection with the Sky Demon Clan.

However, if the Demon Ancestor thinks that a few words will make Jing Yan lead the Human Clan to retreat, that’s undoubtedly impossible.

"Demon Ancestor, do you really think that a few words from you can make the Human Clan’s army retreat? If this were a personal matter, I might not necessarily insist on expelling the Sky Demon Clan. But this concerns the entire Human Clan, and even if I agreed, other humans would not," Jing Yan said.

"Lord Jing Yan, I am well aware that the conflict between the two great clans is hard to resolve. However, I do have a suggestion. If the Sky Demon Clan were to submit to the Human Clan and become an affiliated group, what would you think?" The Demon Ancestor, anticipating that Jing Yan would not easily agree to a reconciliation, suggested another approach.

In fact, he had considered this before he arrived.

Even though his power is formidable, the Human Clan now has two Chaos Supremes. Even if he joined the war, it would be difficult to change the situation, and there remains an eighty percent chance of the Sky Demon Clan’s defeat.

If submitting to the Human Clan could preserve the Sky Demon Clan, that might not be an unacceptable outcome.

When the Demon Ancestor said this, Jing Yan was momentarily shocked.

The Sky Demon Clan submitting to the Human Clan? Becoming an affiliated group of the Human Clan?

It’s important to know that aside from Jing Yan and Bai Xue, the Human Clan has no other Heavenly Venerate Level powerhouses, not as many as the Sky Demon Clan. If the Sky Demon Clan could be integrated, it would significantly boost the power of the Human Clan.

Especially since the Sky Demon Clan is renowned for their defense. If the Human Clan went to war with other forces, the Sky Demon Clan could charge at the forefront, while the Human Clan used formations to defeat the enemy from behind. The Sky Demon Clan could complement the Human Clan.

One must admit, Jing Yan was somewhat tempted.

However, the Demon Kings of the Sky Demon Clan had expressions that changed. Submitting to the Human Clan? At this moment, it was indeed hard for them to accept. In the past, they had always looked down on the Human Clan, considering it weak and inferior to demons. It was only after seeing the power of Jing Yan and Bai Xue that they realized humans could be terrifying, especially Jing Yan, whose physical body far exceeded that of their top Demon Kings.

"Demon Ancestor, we..." one of the Demon Kings wanted to say something.

"Do not speak!" The Demon Ancestor glared at the Demon King, cutting him off, knowing what the Demon King intended to say.

Chunyu Venerable and the others were all deeply stirred. They didn’t refuse the notion of the Sky Demon Clan submitting to the Human Clan. Although the Sky Demon Clan and Human Clan had major conflicts before, if the Sky Demon Clan submitted and was willing to be controlled by the Human Clan, it seemed a more advantageous option than exterminating them.

Much like within the Human Clan territories, in many low-class worlds, when two forces fight and one wins, there’s often a great possibility they will enslave the defeated party instead of exterminating them completely.

"Lord Jing Yan, if the Human Clan is willing to accept the submission of the Sky Demon Clan, we, the Sky Demon Clan, are willing to swear by the Heavenly Dao never to betray the Human Clan and to serve them," the Demon Ancestor continued.

Jing Yan’s eyes flickered, and he quickly weighed the situation in his heart.

"Demon Ancestor! Your proposal indeed tempts me. However, I have an additional condition. If the Sky Demon Clan agrees, my Human Clan can accept your submission," Jing Yan said with narrowed eyes.

"Please, Lord Jing Yan, speak," the Demon Ancestor requested.

"In each of the seven Demon Domains, there is a Demon Tower. Inside each Demon Tower, there is a Black Son, and I have great interest in these Black Sons," Jing Yan declared.

These Demon Towers are too powerful. If he wasn’t able to control them easily, the outcome of the battle would be uncertain. So from both personal interest and the benefit of the Human Clan, these Demon Towers cannot be left to the Sky Demon Clan.

Upon hearing Jing Yan’s words, the Demon Ancestor frowned slightly.

The Demon Towers are indeed crucial to the Sky Demon Clan, serving as their foundation. The Demon Ancestor knew what Jing Yan meant—he wanted the Black Sons from the Demon Towers.

Jing Yan looked at the Demon Ancestor, not pressuring him, casually waiting for the Demon Ancestor to consider it on his own.

After a long moment.

"Lord Jing Yan, these Black Sons are not only related to the Demon Towers but also to the continuation of the Sky Demon Clan. The birth of new Sky Demons requires the Demon Towers. If you take all the Black Sons, future Sky Demons will no longer be born. Therefore, I implore you to leave the Black Son of the Red Skin Demon Domain’s Demon Tower," the Demon Ancestor pleaded after deep contemplation.

The Demon Tower Black Sons are the dependency for the continuation of the Sky Demon Clan. Their reproduction process is different from the Human Clan. Although the Sky Demon Clan is comprised of true beings, their reproduction is directly tied to the Demon Tower Black Sons. Sky Demons have no gender divisions.

Upon hearing the Demon Ancestor’s words, Jing Yan smiled.

"Very well! I can agree to leave the Black Son of the Red Skin Demon Domain’s Demon Tower to the Sky Demon Clan," Jing Yan nodded.

Leaving just one Demon Tower Black Son, that’s not an issue.

Seeing Jing Yan agree, the Demon Ancestor sighed with relief.

Other Demon Kings looked displeased. However, this was the Demon Ancestor’s decision, and they cannot defy it. Besides, the war with the Sky Demon Clan was already a lost cause; without the Demon Ancestor’s involvement, defeat would have been certain. Now that the Demon Ancestor negotiated with Jing Yan, although it was humiliating, at least it preserved the existence of the Sky Demon Clan.

"Everyone, come here!"

The Demon Ancestor ordered the Demon Kings.

The Demon Kings gathered around the Demon Ancestor.

"Now, you will follow me and swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao, that our Sky Demon Clan will submit to the Human Clan and never betray them. Should we break this oath, we will face divine punishment!" the Demon Ancestor solemnly said.

The other Demon Kings quietly swore the oath as well.

And as soon as their oaths were made, an ultimate will of supreme power descended upon the space around them.

All the humans and Sky Demons present could clearly feel this powerful will.

This was the will of the Heavenly Dao.

All the Sky Demons and humans became exceedingly respectful.

Jing Yan was already very familiar with this will.

Jing Yan also knew that swearing by the Heavenly Dao was sufficient. If the Sky Demon Clan violated the oath, the Heavenly Dao would exact its punishment. All beings in this Chaotic Universe are directly influenced by the Heavenly Dao. Even the top Initial Creatures dare not easily challenge the Heavenly Dao. Within the order, the Heavenly Dao is unchallengeable.

The will of the Heavenly Dao descended quickly and departed just as swiftly. In an instant, the supreme will vanished without a trace.

At this point, Jing Yan also flew out of the Demon Tower.

"Greetings, Lord Jing Yan!" The Demon Ancestor led the way in saluting Jing Yan.

All the other Demon Kings bowed as well. Regardless of their personal feelings, the die had been cast.
