This belief had solidified ever since he had seen the current state of Demon Capital.

He was not an ignorant person and had witnessed the splendor of the Demon Clan before, but he had never felt a power similar to that of the Demon Capital.

It was the power of civilization and order. Under the guidance of the Demon Court, the Demon Clan had transformed, completely abandoning their formerly loose and unrestrained ways. On the contrary, having adopted the order and civilization of the Human Clan, the Demon Clan was now bursting with vitality.

Anyone who had seen it could feel the power it contained, and because of this, the demons there had become more confident and optimistic, as if no hardship or obstacle could bring them down.

Tieniu believed that a Demon Clan like this was invincible. Even the Heavenly Court, formidable enough to make one feel suffocated, could not defeat such a race.

While everyone was in the midst of laughter and cheerful talks, a messenger came to report.

"What’s the matter, why the hurry?" The Great Sage who Overturns the Seas asked with a smile.

The messenger looked around, and finally bit the bullet and said, "Great Sage, the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range has fallen!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings suddenly quieted down, and many monsters’ smiles froze on their faces.

They were all commanders and had analyzed many battles, naturally understanding what the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range meant.

"What are they doing, letting Heavenly Court occupy it so quickly!" a Demon King exclaimed loudly, his words filled with dissatisfaction towards the defenders of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range.

The rest of the crowd also looked grave. With this development, the pressure on the Demon Clan side had greatly increased, and the future wars would likely be even more difficult.

However, they were already unable to spare more troops for support, and for the moment, they couldn’t think of a better way to respond.

As everyone’s faces grew gloomy, not knowing what to do, they heard the Great Sage who Overturns the Seas at the head of the table laugh lightly and say, "They’ve only now taken the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range. It seems the Heavenly Court is not as formidable as it used to be."

Having said that, he looked around at everyone and with a smile said, "Don’t worry, the sky isn’t falling. We are not what we used to be. Such a long time has been enough for us to undergo a complete transformation. Heavenly Court thinks that by taking the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range, they can advance straight in and annihilate our Demon Clan. They are thinking too highly of themselves."

Others might not be aware, but the Great Sage who Overturns the Seas knew that the Demon Realm had already constructed many Treasure Ships. Heavenly Court thought that with the removal of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range as a barrier, their Treasure Ships could traverse Luzhou in the North unchecked—they were quite mistaken.

Seeing the expression of the Great Sage who Overturns the Seas, everyone was unsure if the Great Sage was trying to steady their hearts or if he had other strategies, but their uneasy hearts were somewhat reassured.

"Let’s continue to drink. Those matters will naturally be handled by someone else. Our Demon Clan is much stronger than you think," the Great Sage who Overturns the Seas said generously.

The crowd resumed drinking, but the atmosphere couldn’t match that of before.

Green Flood Dragon, sipping the fine wine in his hand, also softly remarked, "It seems everyone is still somewhat worried."

"It’s normal, after all, they aren’t aware of some secretive matters. It is indeed the issue of the Exorcist that’s causing concern, which is why it’s kept so confidential," the Great Sage who Overturns the Seas said with a sigh.

The defection of the Divine Exorcist Great Sage indeed surprised everyone. No one had anticipated that this famously renowned Great Sage of the Demon Clan would turn out to be a scout for the Heavenly Court, having infiltrated for so long; such temperament and endurance were astounding.

From then on, the Demon Masters closely monitored this aspect, and thus the affairs of the Demon Realm were strictly sealed off. Only they knew of these secrets, and each had sworn oaths never to reveal them.

This also meant that many people were unaware of the current strength of the Demon Clan.

Using the newly formed minor world of the Demon Realm as a foundation, the Demon Clan compensated for the resource shortages caused by years of turmoil.

Under Lin Fang’s care, the Demon Realm flourished annually, and various natural treasures continuously evolved. Additionally, due to the presence of the Starry Sky Tree, endless starlight was drawn into this minor world, forming the foundation of the Demon Realm.

In a short span of time, the Demon Realm had already changed beyond recognition and was sufficient to support the survival of the Demon Clan.

Although the Heavenly Court had guessed that the Demon Clan still had tricks up its sleeve, they did not know what exactly these tricks were. They probably couldn’t imagine that in such a short time, the Demon Clan had already developed their own complete equipment manufacturing system.

Even the treasure ships, which the Heavenly Court considered secret weapons, could now be made at will by the Demon Clan. If the Heavenly Court did not treat this matter carefully, they would likely suffer a significant loss.

Moreover, the Demon Clan deliberately released some true and false information to disrupt the plans and perceptions of the Heavenly Court.

The time for a decisive battle was fast approaching. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

The Great Sage who Overturns the Seas and the Green Flood Dragon were already mentally at the battlefield. Compared to the minor skirmishes at the Northern Sea, that was the place where the fate of both sides would be decided.

Meanwhile, on the front lines of the Demon Clan, countless monsters were sweating as they constructed fortifications.

Monsters proficient in earth magic used their mana to raise the ground, and then specialized Rune Masters drew runes on these areas, turning the entire position into a giant Array.

Changes were happening imperceptibly. If in the past someone said the Demon Clan could do this, everyone would say that person was dreaming.

But for the Demon Clan today, all of this seemed natural. The rapid development during this period was astounding, constantly evolving. Confidence had been successfully established in the hearts of many in the Demon Clan, and they were no longer the race that was slaughtered at will as they had been at the beginning.

In this moment, the Demon Clan displayed the strength that had survived from ancient times. The vigorous vitality brought earth-shaking changes to Luzhou in the North.

Frightening war fortresses appeared on the earth at a visible speed, and countless members of the Demon Clan were mobilized. Vast numbers of people busied themselves on this land.

They had only just escaped the chaotic life and had started living stable days, no longer fighting desperately just to survive, and naturally, they cherished these days greatly.

They would fight desperately against anyone who tried to ruin their hard-earned good days, regardless of who it was, even if it was the once terrifying Heavenly Court, the nightmare of many monsters, it still couldn’t stop their hearts from yearning for a better life.

The Great Saint who moves mountains inspected the position, watching everyone’s labor and seeing the light in their eyes, he was filled with numerous emotions.

The Demon Clan had finally stood up on their own. Compared to the old Demon Court, the newly formed Demon Court was more active and more terrifying. When thousands upon thousands of ordinary Demon Clan people stood up, the fearsome power they gathered was indeed enough to change the world.

At this moment, he finally understood why the weak Human Clan could stand proudly among the Three Realms and even become the main character of Heaven and Earth — order and civilization indeed are the most powerful magical treasures in the world.
