Chapter 81

Although Wang Jiu's judgment is subjective, it is undoubtedly the truth for Zhao Chenlu.

On the issue of the demon race, if the judgment of the God Sword from the Sky is not the truth, then what is the truth? Is the Demon Emperor's golden words?

So when he heard Wang Jiu's conclusion, Zhao Chenlu suddenly felt a huge sense of relief... and loss.

The second anticipated battle between immortals and demons seems to not happen.

Even if it happens, it must be many, many years later, at least she will not be able to see that day. So that day has nothing to do with her.

Zhao Chenlu is such a realistic and optimistic personality.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to pursue a magic sword that could not respond to human emotions at all.

"Since the demons are extinct, can we celebrate?"

Wang Jiu asked, "Celebrate?"

"Yes, celebrate the victory of the fairy and demon war. We worked hard to win such a desperate battle back then. We should celebrate it no matter what, right?"

Zhao Chenlu said, looking at Wang Jiu with a little expectation, waiting for his affirmative reply.

On such irrelevant details, Wang Jiu generally does not reject the proposals of people around him, because according to Wang Jiu's theory, he is only responsible for what he is good at, that is, killing the demon clan. But all other things are left to experts to take charge of.

Including all social behaviors in human society.

Therefore, when the battle between immortals and demons was first led by Tianwai Divine Sword and Jiuxianzun, the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance was completed. Tianwai Divine Sword was only responsible for actual combat, and the rest, such as uniting major sects and families, coaxing some ignorant thorns to be cannon fodder... they were all handed over to Jiuxianzun.

Celebration is of course included.

Before the end of the war between immortals and demons, although humans have always faced heavy survival pressure, there has never been a lack of celebration banquets.

According to Zhao Chenlu's explanation at the time, this is a necessary link in human social interaction. Human beings are fragile creatures and cannot face the changes in the battle situation calmly and rationally like the sword outside the sky. When the situation is disadvantaged, it will be pessimistic, and when the advantage is advantaged, it will be optimistic, and these emotions need to be vented.

That is why humans have funerals, weddings, celebration banquets and other ritual behaviors. Through this standardized ritual behavior, humans can vent their emotions and restore their rational combat state.

In Wang Jiu's understanding, this is like the shell shell exiting from the back of the barrel when the Yuan magnetic gun is fired, which is necessary garbage. Although it is garbage, it is necessary.

Zhao Chenlu wanted to use this link to implement her own beliefs. As long as she could convince Wang Jiu to hold a celebration banquet, she would have the opportunity to advance the subsequent ceremony.

According to the Jiuzhou era, the characteristics of some places, such as Qingzhou, after a grand banquet, must be accompanied by the most intimate behavior between men and women. This is not only a human nature to pursue pleasure, but also a reproductive decision based on instability in the future and satisfaction with reality.

As long as Wang Jiu is willing to accept this explanation, it is actually true and reasonable. Next, Zhao Chenlu can further interpret that you must personally participate in such a ceremony, because reproduction between the two sexes is a very private behavior for humans. Even Qingzhou, which had the most avant-garde thinking during the Jiuzhou period, is considered to be not suitable for such behavior in public.

So even if you are carnival or promiscuous, you must be limited to a private area to isolate the connection with the outside world, which means you need excellent security. So how can you make the participants sure of the safety here? Of course, the convener or the host will also participate together.

As the proposer of the celebration banquet, Zhao Chenlu had no choice but to participate.

But it is certainly impossible for both sexes to entertain themselves alone. In this way, the host's sincerity in participating is insufficient, so Zhao Chenlu certainly needs to find a partner.

Of course, this partner cannot be identified casually. For advanced immortals, those mortals and people with low cultivation are no different from dead objects. In a sense, they still belong to self-entertainment and cannot be widely recognized by participants, which will seriously affect the quality of the celebration banquet.

Then, the person who is qualified to be worthy of Zhao Chenlu is now searching all over the Xiangzhou continent, and there is only one person. As the leader and core figure of the battle between immortals and demons, Wang Jiu naturally has to take on the heavy responsibility of the host.

The above logical reasoning is rigorous and meticulous, and it is perfect. Zhao Chenlu repeatedly pondered it in his heart, but could not find any flaws, nor could he find a reason for Wang Jiu to refuse. In fact, in the Jiuzhou era, she was close to success, but failed because Concubine Shang Lan was interfering with it. Although she also destroyed Concubine Shang Lan's plans several times.

But now Concubine Shang Lan is no longer alive, so the next step is to reach the most exciting part.

"There is no need for a celebration banquet."

"……ah?"

Wang Jiu said: "I remember you said that the significance of the celebration banquet is to motivate participants and bystanders. However, as the only remaining participants, we do not need this kind of ceremony to motivate ourselves, and the bystanders have long ceased to exist. For the people of Xiangzhou today, the battle between immortals and demons is just an unverified legend that happened in the prehistoric era. In terms of human ability, not allowing them to know the truth is more conducive to their development, so the celebration banquet is not necessary."

This rigorous logic made Zhao Chenlu dumbfounded.

"Wait, it's rare to win the battle between immortals and demons. Do you really need to celebrate? To be honest, I've been waiting for this day for a long time. On the day of the decisive battle, my biggest regret before my death was that I couldn't participate in the celebration banquet after the war... Now it's rare that I'm resurrected from the dead, just treat it as a reward for the contribution I made during the war, hold a small banquet, and indulge myself. Is there anything wrong with it?"

Wang Jiu thought about it and admitted that Zhao Chenlu’s statement was not without reason.

As one of the Nine Immortals, she made great contributions during the battle between immortals and demons. In addition to the integrated effect of the Wanxian Alliance, she was also an unquestionable backbone force on the front battlefield. Until the decisive battle with the Demon Emperor, Zhao Yueming, who had the cultivation level of the Heavenly Beng Realm, was the source of nightmare for countless demons.

Then, as one of the only remaining participants, she is indeed qualified to ask for a celebration banquet, even if not as an incentive, but as a reward.

"Okay, after you go back, you will hold a celebration banquet as you wish, but are you and me the only participants, aren't there a little less?"

"The two people are just right!" Zhao Chenlu decided, "There is no need for a third person to make trouble!"

"Okay, of course, your reward is up to you, but now you can do the work at hand first." After Wang Jiu finished speaking, he turned the tip of his sword and pointed to the deeper part of the cabin.

Zhao Chenlu then remembered that they had an important task at hand: exploring the Netherworld Sea.

Wang Jiu also said: "Since it is determined that it has nothing to do with the demon race, the previous logical chain needs to be reorganized. Xiaobai's talent has nothing to do with the demon race, but the magical power of nature. What we need to do now is to analyze this power, turn it into our own use, and cultivate more swordsman geniuses. In this way, even if there are new foreign races invasion in the future, we can still be more at ease."

While speaking, Wang Jiu had already turned around a corner first and went deeper into the ship.

The ship still maintained its appearance hundreds of years ago and was full of traces of the exploration team members struggling to survive. The walls and floors were covered with mottled and brokenness, and the despair of the time was still permeated in the air.

In front of a cabin door, Wang Jiu saw a middle-aged woman who was silenced on the ground. She was holding a mirror in her arms and motionless. From Wang Jiu's perspective, the image reflected in the mirror was a young girl in her 20s. The girl had a beautiful face and her eyes were closed at this time, like a princess sealed in an ice coffin. However, the woman outside the coffin had wide eyes and her face was full of despair.

The contrast between inside and outside the mirror is like a horror drama. After a moment, Zhao Chenlu carefully floated up and sighed when she saw this scene.

"The distortion of time and space has reached this point? It's really incredible to say that it is the power of nature."

"However, it would be even more incredible to say that this is not the power of nature."

If it is not the power of nature, then it is man-made. Why? The possibility of the demon clan has been rejected, and even the Nine Immortals of the past could not truly master the magical power of time and space. Therefore...

Zhao Chenlu sighed: "Okay, nature, I'm convinced."

Then, even more incredible things appeared one after another.

They met the head consultant of the left-faced boy and the right-faced elder team. The bodies on both sides showed completely opposite characteristics, as if the cruel butcher took half of the two living people and then forced them to bond them together.

They also saw that they were supposed to be the oldest and oldest researcher in the team, but they were lying in a baby shape when they died.

The two of them went down the passage, and the magnificent scenes that occurred due to the disorder of time and space emerged one after another. Even the ship itself was affected, and the internal space continued to cross and break points, making the ship with a simple and straight structure look like a huge maze.

In the maze, desperate corpses can be seen everywhere. Obviously, at the last moment, a considerable number of people in the inspection team were lost in this maze.

"Here... reminds me of the Demons' playground."

Zhao Chenlu couldn't help but say halfway.

Wang Jiu said: "It's indeed somewhat similar."

In the early stage of the battle between immortals and demons, the demons' attitude towards humans was like giants trampling on ants. Everything was routine. What the demons needed was complete extinction, so they would neither leave a living mouth for humans nor have the heart to play cats and mice. However, in the middle and late stages, as the battle situation gradually became stalemate or even reversed, the demons' attitude became complicated.

On the one hand, the demons had to admit that the strategy of pushing forward and crushing the front before the war was started was no longer feasible. On the front battlefield, the demons who fought bravely had suffered extremely heavy casualties. In the war to destroy all worlds, the assassinators who made many extraordinary achievements were also constantly counterattacked by humans, and even the tragedy of the Shadow Demon Legion annihilated overnight. Based on this, the demons had to change their policies and make a certain degree of compromise.

If victory can be achieved by dismantling the enemy's will, it is acceptable to temporarily delay extinction.

Simply put, the demons no longer massacre humans at any cost, but will choose to place some human life paths according to local conditions and then set traps on this life path. In this way, the demons will no longer face humans who fight against the water, but are crowded on the escape road and facing the enemy's deserters.

It is easier to chase and kill deserters than to fight the sorrowful soldiers.

The Demon Clan Playground was a new invention of the Demon Clan during that period. It first appeared in Jingzhou and Hongzhou. There were many nail strongholds in these two places. Although the Demon Clan occupied the entire Jingzhou and Hongzhou, the Human Resistance Army was always active in the occupied areas. These people knew that the Demon Clan did not need prisoners, so they would always fight to the death and cause very heavy losses to the Demon Clan.

Then the demons had the design of the amusement park, creating a huge venue, inviting all survivors to go there, and as long as the game project is completed according to the rules of the amusement park, they can return to human territory from the blockade gap in Jingzhou and Hongzhou.

This open and unscrupulous plot attracted a lot of survivors to challenge, and in the amusement park, about one-third of people were able to pass the pass smoothly and return to human territory.

Of course, this ratio is not high, but it is enough to lure more survivors with dying ambitions to take risks nervously.

As long as they can pass the level, they can return to Zhongzhou and return to the embrace of human civilization. As warriors who fight to the death in the enemy-occupied areas, they will naturally receive the rewards and care they deserve... Even if they don't consider these, if they can return to Zhongzhou frontline to fight side by side with their comrades and bring their spirit of never giving up when they are in the enemy-occupied areas, they will definitely inspire more people to fight bravely. In this way, it will be better than surviving in the enemy-occupied areas.

Of course, this idea cannot be said to be wrong, so the demons wiped out two-thirds of the humans in the occupied area without any effort.

The humans who successfully returned to Zhongzhou did not bring more resistance to the Wanxian Alliance as expected.

Almost every human monk who survived the amusement park brought great despair. Although their bodies were alive, their spirits had long been tortured to death in the amusement park.

Now, the desperate corpses in the ship's maze made Zhao Chenlu unable to think of the amusement parks in Jingzhou and Hongzhou.

"I remember... Kaishan once swore that he would destroy all the demon playgrounds. Unfortunately, until the end of the war, we could not push the front line back to Jingzhou and Hongzhou. Fortunately, you broke all the Jiuzhou in the duel with the Demon Emperor, and the amusement park naturally no longer exists, so it was considered to have helped him. However, after ten thousand years, the demon playground seemed to have reappeared."

Wang Jiu ignored this.

Indeed, the scene is really like the playground of the demons. In a limited space, the demons will show their killing skills obtained from destroying all worlds and use incredible techniques to kill two-thirds of the participants. Then they will leave their corpses before this, the demons slaughtered humans and never left corpses.

"Maybe you will be curious about my identity. On the list of the inspection team, you can't find my name or even someone related to me. If you don't guess my identity here, it means that my experiments have even exceeded my expectations for success. I have really become what I want most in my life."

"Yes, you should finally guess that I am the leader of the inspection team and the leader of the Holy Sect."
