"You want the territory of the demon realm?" The Venerable One did not expect that the Demon Emperor would make such a request.
This conversation was not only about discussing methods for attacking the demon realm in the future, but more importantly, about discussing everyone's interests.
If the benefits are not distributed equally, the cooperation between the immortal and demonic realms may run into problems.
"The Demon Realm certainly has a big appetite." The Venerable One sneered. Before she came, she had already thought about what the Demon Realm wanted, but she never expected that the Demon Emperor would make such an outrageous demand.
You want the entire demon realm?
That's a bit too much of an appetite.
"Of course, how could one be called a demon if one's appetite is not large?" The Demon Emperor did not take this as a sarcastic remark from His Majesty at all; on the contrary, he thought it was a compliment.
"Why should we send troops if there's no benefit for the Demon Realm?" The Demon Emperor asked the Venerable with a cold sneer in his eyes. "We in the Demon Realm have nothing to hide or care about. All we want is profit and benefits."
The Demon Emperor's words, which seemed to be about the interests of their demon realm, contained a hidden meaning that made the Venerable One uncomfortable.
The Venerable One's brows furrowed slowly, and he stared at the Demon Emperor with displeasure: "Are you saying that there are unspeakable things going on in our Immortal Realm?"
The Demon Emperor didn't care at all whether the Venerable One was angry or not, since their alliance was based on the principle of each getting what they needed.
"Whether it is or not, I think Your Majesty knows best." The Demon Emperor's face remained cold, but his eyes stared at His Majesty with a half-smile.
“Actually, for the sake of the Immortal Realm’s reputation, Your Majesty is bound to destroy the Demon Realm, which is understandable.” As soon as the Demon Emperor finished speaking, he saw the Venerable One opposite him suddenly change his expression and tense up, as if he was about to explode at any moment.
The Demon Emperor wasn't worried at all. "Fine, let's cooperate; if not, then forget it."
In any case, the final outcome made no difference to him.
"Demon Emperor, you are challenging the bottom line of the Immortal Realm." After a long silence, the Venerable One finally squeezed out the words, one by one.
The Demon Emperor listened to the Venerable One's angry words without any tension. Instead, he looked at the Venerable One with ease, making it clear with his attitude that he would not compromise on the conditions he had just proposed.
The Venerable One stared at the Demon Emperor for a long while, then, realizing that this stalemate would only be a pointless delay, he had no choice but to ask, "What exactly do you want?"
"If the Demon Realm is destroyed, the Demon Realm will demand its territory." The Demon Emperor made an outrageous demand without any restraint.
The Venerable One sneered repeatedly, mocking, "Such a big appetite, aren't you afraid the Demon Realm won't be able to swallow it all?"
"Once the Demon Realm disappears, I think there will be no problem for the Demon Realm to occupy it." The Demon Emperor seemed completely oblivious to the displeasure in the Venerable One's words, and continued speaking to himself.
"Demon Emperor, don't think that our Immortal Realm is easy to bully. If we all attack the Demon Realm together, will the Immortal Realm gain nothing in the end? Do you want us to sacrifice our Immortal Realm in vain?" The Venerable One sneered coldly, mocking the Demon Emperor's wishful thinking.
"If that's the case, what's the point of cooperation?" The Venerable One glared coldly at the Demon Emperor, utterly bewildered as to why the Demon Emperor would have such a naive idea.
Did they think that all the benefits would be taken by the Demon Emperor? Did they think that the Immortal Realm had nothing better to do than sacrifice their own people just to attack the Demon Realm?
"How can it be meaningless?" The Demon Emperor found the Venerable's words utterly laughable. "What our Demon Realm needs is simply a place for cultivation. As for the Immortal Realm, what it needs is..."
The Demon Emperor paused deliberately, and after the Venerable One's lips twitched slightly, he continued with his next words with satisfaction: "Face."
The Venerable One secretly took a deep breath, which calmed her down temporarily: "Alright, then let's conquer the Demon Realm first."
"Alright." The Demon Emperor agreed without hesitation.
The reason they didn't hesitate at all was because neither the Demon Emperor nor the Venerable One trusted each other.
This so-called cooperation is nothing more than a temporary alliance.
The Demon Emperor made such a request, which the Venerable One naturally would not agree to.
Even if they eventually conquer the Demon Realm, the Demon Realm might not necessarily gain complete control of it.
The immortal realm would never suffer such a great loss.
Moreover, for the Immortal Realm, the events of a thousand years ago have always been a thorn in the side of the Immortal Realm's Venerable One, something that cannot be left unresolved.
The Venerable One knew about this matter, and the Demon Emperor naturally knew as well, since they were both among the people who knew about it a thousand years ago.
The Demon Emperor never expected that the Venerable One would actually keep his promise and hand over all of the Demon Realm's territory to the Demon Realm.
The Celestial Lord could take action against the Demon Realm to cover up what happened back then, so how could the Lord possibly let him, who knew the truth, go unpunished?
There's no need to even think about it; everyone understands the situation.
By saying this, the two of them simply wanted to set aside their own preconceived notions and work together effectively to complete this joint operation.
Dealing with the demon realm is really not easy.
"Is there anything else Your Majesty wishes to instruct?" The Demon Emperor spoke politely, but his expression betrayed a completely different story. It was clear that he had always looked down on the Immortal Realm.
His Majesty did not dwell on this matter with the Demon Emperor at this time, since things would eventually be resolved, so there was no rush.
Let's take things one step at a time. Let's deal with the demon realm first. If it takes a few hundred years, we can deal with the evil realm later.
In the end, the Immortal Realm will definitely rule the Three Realms, and the so-called Demon Realm and Monster Realm will ultimately be nothing more than subjects under the control of the Immortal Realm.
Moreover, the Demon Emperor did not fully understand her thoughts. She wanted to cover up what happened back then, but she still had her own selfish motives for attacking the Demon Realm this time.
For the sake of the betterment of the Immortal Realm, there was simply no need to tell the Demon Emperor.
With this in mind, the Venerable One naturally wouldn't argue with the Demon Emperor verbally. He slowly drew in the air with his finger, and as the Venerable One moved, a simple map appeared.
It happens to be located near the demon realm.
His Majesty pointed out the items above and began to arrange them.
After all, attacking the demon realm is not something that can be done casually.
