Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Northern Black Tortoise Continent, in a Secret Location, all the Chiefs of powerful Demon Race Tribes were having a secret meeting. If anyone were to be aware of such a meeting, then they would be quite shocked.

For once, all the Chiefs attending were the leaders of Demon Tribes with Imperial Bloodline, meaning that they had cultivated Great Emperors throughout their history.

Of course this was not the real reason that other people would be surprised; the real reason being that all of these different tribes can actually exist peacefully with each other.

The image that the Demon Race Tribes projected to the outside world was the fact that they were constantly infighting between one another. As such, the idea that all Demon Tribes have deep and irreconcilable differences have been ingrained in the mind of all the other races of the Myriad Emperor World.

However, it seemed that things were not as simple as seen on the surface. The infighting was nothing but a facade that the Demon Race used in order to reduce their level of threat to the human race.

Back to the meeting; the reason that this meeting took place was because the upper echelons of the Demon Race received news of what happened in the True Dragon Inn.

After receiving the news, none of these Chiefs of different tribes acted out of anger or impetuousness. Unlike the young Demon Race cultivators, the upper echelons knew perfectly well the situation that the Demon Race was facing.

"Well, things went even worse than we expected," said the Chief of the Golden Roc Tribe.

"I did not expect that humans would react so intensely after such a little probe," replied the Chief of the Battle Ape Saint Tribe.

"In just one day, we lost more than five Saints," added the Chief of the Power Ant Tribe.

"The most sad thing is the fact that we cannot openly retaliate, otherwise the consequences would be even more dire," said the Chief of the Peacock Tribe, who was among the few women in this room.

"There is no need to complain to one another," suddenly said the Chief of the Black Tiger Tribe. "We have learned from our ancestors that the situation of our Demon Race will not change until we cultivate an Eternal Emperor of our own. And now, this generation, we finally have a chance."

"Yes, Project Innate Atavism has finally come to fruition after countless years of studying the secrets of bloodline," responded the Chief of the Golden Lion Tribe. She was a beautiful woman with black hair and golden eyes, but had a scar on her left eye.

Her tribe, along with the Black Tiger, Golden Roc, and Battle Ape Saint Tribes are the ones with the most power among all the Demon Tribes. They each cultivated three Great Emperors.

Unfortunately for these Demon Tribes, many of their Emperors were either killed or exiled by the [Human Preservation Array] after they tried to challenge the status quo of humans in the world.

As result of this, many of the backgrounds of the Demon Race have been missing. Whether it was Emperor Scriptures, Emperor Artifacts or Arrays, many of them were either destroyed by humans in an attempt to keep the Demon Race weak, or these Great Emperors never had the chance to leave these things behind.

The truth of the matter is that the lives of the Demon Race are actually quite dire. Although the Human Emperor did not want to exterminate them, unfortunately, the same thing could not be said for other Great Emperors that came after him.

Especially when it comes to sects like the Herd Raising Valley. All they want is to enslave all the Demon Race and raise them in captivity, or exterminate them completely. As a result of this, many Great Emperors of the human race, or even the Spirit Race have tried to eliminate all the Demon Tribes.

There are two reasons that the Demon Race can continue to exist through this day, albeit a bit miserable.

The first being that they have followed in human’s footstep and created a [Demon Preservation Array] in the Northern Continent using the entire Qi Luck or destiny of the Demon Race. Every Great Emperors cultivated by the Demon Race would further strengthen this array--just like humans did for their own preservation array.

Another reason is that many Great Emperors of the Demon Race will attack the [Human Preservation Arra] after proving the Dao in an attempt to weaken the power of humans over the entire Myriad Emperor World. Unfortunately, they would either be killed by that array, or were exiled and prevented from ever returning back to the Myriad Emperor World.

What made things even worse for the Demon Race was the fact that due to the fact that humans hold 90% of Qi Luck of the entire Myriad Emperor World, Heavenly Dao has acknowledged them as the master of the world and is on their side when it comes to any dispute between other races.

"Now, all we have to do is to ensure that ’he’ is not discovered by the humans until the time that the Heaven Will Battle arrives," added the Golden Lion Chieftess after taking a brief pause to reminisce about the current situation of their races.

"The only reason that humans can truly dominate the world is because they have cultivated Eternal Emperors like Emperor Qiyuan, the Sword Empress, the Absolute Beginning Emperor, and Empress Wu," said one of the Chief.

"As long as ’he’ becomes an Eternal Emperor, then there is hope for our Demon Race. Hope to create an entire Era that belongs solely to us."

The room became quiet as all of the Chiefs started to imagine the bright future that awaits them. They imagined that they would not have to live in this barren and frozen continent with a low level of spiritual energy.

They imagined that their kinds would no longer be treated as transportation or livestock’s. They imagined that they could walk in any of the different continents with their eyes raised and deep pride on their faces

They imagined that they would not have to live in fear that one day, the human race has finally decided that they will unite together to exterminate their entire race.

"There is no need to daydream," suddenly said the Chief of the Black Tiger tribe. "As long as our plans come to fruition, all of our dreams will become goals; goals that can be accomplished.

"Do we need to worry about the human suspecting something based on how the people sent to the Academy acted?" suddenly asked one particular chief

"Not really. We have always ensured that our ’Heaven Chosens’ acted rude, cruelly, and with disdain towards others humans, just to give outsiders the perception that the entire Demon Race cannot tell their actual situation in the world and is slowly weakening with each passing generation," added the Chief of the Nether Crow Tribe.

"That way, the human race can lower their guard against us, as long as they think that we are slowly losing our grasp of reality."

The room then became quiet for a while after those words were spoken; then someone asked:

"Golden Lion Chieftess, why did you call this meeting? It could not have been just to discuss the behaviors of our younglings at the Academy?"

"Of course not," replied the Golden Lion Chieftess. "I’ve called this meeting in order to present all of you with a proposal."

"What proposal?"

"I think we should invite the Golden Crow Tribe to participate in Project Innate Atavism."

The room instantly became quiet again as all the other Chiefs looked at her in shock. Many people thought that she might be joking at first, but changed their minds after seeing the serious look on her face.

"Why would you want to interact with these traitors? Let alone let them participate in such important plan that could change the fundamental situation of our race!," suddenly screamed one of the chiefs.

Many people agreed with the person who screamed. Normally, these chiefs will show a certain level of respect for tribes like the Golden Lion, however, not this time; not when it comes to the Golden Crow Tribe.

To the majority of tribes in the Demon Race, the Golden Crow is nothing but traitors. They abandoned the Northern Continent and lived on the sun. They do not have to worry about their clan members being hunted down by humans to become mount or food.

Moreover, they never actually contributed anything to the Demon Race--even the [Demon Preservation Array]. All they cared about was saving their own tribes.

And that is not even the worst part. What the other Demon Tribes hate the most about the Golden Crow Tribes is the fact that they have abandoned the Bloodline Cultivating System for the Origin Path System cultivated by humans.

And this was not a recent thing, but both Great Emperors of their tribes proved the Dao through the Origin Path System.

The Golden Lion Chieftess looked at the reaction of all her race and she was not surprised. She sighed before saying:

"Because we do not have much of a choice."
