While I was lost in my thoughts, Wu Jiuzhui suddenly extended his hand and patted my shoulder. "It's good to be diligent, but going too far is as bad as not going far enough.
You already have such a cultivation at such a young age. Even if you don't make any progress in your life, you'll forever be one of the people that stands at the peak of this world. Just enjoy it for now. "
"Brother Wu is right."
Pryor swirled the wine cup in his hand as he agreed. "When I first heard about the ninth grade Monster Emperor, I felt that the road ahead was long and that I was insignificant. But after thinking about it, it's a good thing that there's still a road ahead. If I were to really reach the peak and stand at the peak, how would I spend the rest of my life?"
"Come, come, come. Let's drink to the fullest and celebrate that there's still a road ahead!"
After drinking a cup of wine, the feelings from before had indeed lessened. No matter what, I finally had a Xiaju cultivation and was one step closer to my goal. There was no need to be so sad.
Pryor placed his wine cup down before saying to me, "Duo Ji, according to logic, you should obtain your own fief after advancing to the Monster Emperor. It's just that in the Monster region, there are already four Monster Emperors in the four provinces. The issue of your fief isn't easy to resolve."
How could there be such a coincidence that the four provinces coincidentally had four Monster Emperors? Combining with what Pryor had said previously, I reckoned that the excess Monster Emperors that were born in the past had all become ghosts in their mouths.
I was lucky to have the opportunity to drink and chat merrily in this chaotic world. Why would I still think about the matter of fief?
I shook my head. "I've been living in seclusion with my master since young. I'm used to living like a wild crane. I can't guard a region like the four Monster Emperors. Let's forget about the matter of fief."
I originally thought that Pryor would drop the matter after giving me a way out. I didn't expect him to be so persistent. "You're a celestial so you naturally don't want to bother with such worldly matters. But you have many blood kin and clansmen behind you. You can't not think about them."
Clansmen?
After he said that, I realised my identity as a Dog Head Man.
The most important thing in the Monster Domain is bloodline. If it was any other real Monster Clan, when they become famous, they would first consider their own clan. Only a fake like me would be unaware of this matter.
I was naturally happy to bring some benefits to Nam, Village Chief, and the others, but the problem was that I wouldn't be staying in the Demon Region for too long. Sooner or later, I would have to leave. Even after I leave, the Demon Region still wouldn't be able to see through my identity. By then, the Dog-Headed Men would be enjoying the treatment of the Demon Thearch's clansmen without the protection of the Demon Thearch. I'm afraid it wouldn't be a good thing as it would attract a calamity sooner or later.
Thinking like this, I hurriedly wanted to refuse again, but Pryor extended his hand to stop me. He continued, "Although there aren't any fiefs on the scale of the four great provinces, between the Northern Province and King's City, there are still three ownerless cities. Next, there are two cities each from the Northern Province and the Western Province.
Even though the scale of the seven cities can't be compared to the other provinces, it can barely be considered as a province. What do you think about using these seven cities as your fiefs? "
The fiefs of the Monster Domain weren't like the feudal kingdoms in the human world that were under the jurisdiction of the central government. They were truly independent kingdoms. The four great provinces only had around ten cities, but Pryor had given me seven cities in one go. This was truly a generous gesture.
I was extremely puzzled. From a certain perspective, my current Monster Thearch cultivation was given to me by Pryor. If he didn't agree, my marriage with Wei Weian wouldn't have been so simple.
He single-handedly raised me to the Monster Thearch realm and now wanted to give me fiefs. What was he planning?
Also, Wu Jiuzhui, everything that I currently had originally belonged to his son, Wu Huan. However, from his current expression, he didn't seem to be unwilling at all. What was going on?
I couldn't tell what their motive was, but since Pryor had already said it, I obviously wouldn't be able to reject him. I could only temporarily suppress my suspicions and nodded, accepting this huge gift. I then continued to ask, "If that's the case, what should I do next?"
Since I couldn't understand their motive, I might as well ask directly.
"There will naturally be people who will handle the matters of the fiefs. After everything has been arranged, you can just send your clansmen to the various cities to assume the positions of City Lords.
These aren't problems. What you need to do now is to stabilize your cultivation and prepare for the upcoming war. "
"War?" I frowned and continued to ask. "Human Domain?"
"That's right!" Pryor nodded. "The war with the human world!"
As expected, the war was about to begin!
I already had a faint guess in my heart, but after Pryor confirmed it, I still had many questions.
"According to what I know, the human world's door has already been opened for many years. Why did the war only start now?"
Pryor didn't reply, but Wu Jiuzhui continued the conversation.
"The situation in the human world is different from the Monster region. The spiritual power there is thin and there is almost no ancient energy.
When the people from the Monster region go to the human world, even if we are the Monster Emperor, our cultivation will drop by a level. We can only use the power of the Monster God realm. This is the reason why we haven't taken action against the human world yet! "
After listening to his explanation, I was instantly enlightened.
No wonder the Monster region didn't take action against the human world even when they had the overwhelming advantage.
No wonder when I met Wu Jiuzhui in the human world, his power was on par with the sacrificial evil spirit and he only had half a step into the Xiaji realm.
I thought that he had advanced to the Monster Emperor later, but I didn't think that there was such a hidden reason.
My expression didn't change, but I was overjoyed in my heart.
Originally, the Monster region had the overwhelming advantage over the human world, but under such circumstances, the Monster region's advantage was non-existent. If they were to hastily invade the human world, they would only be met with a crushing defeat.
Of course, this joy was fleeting. Since Pu Laer decided to start a war, he must have considered this problem. I steadied my mind and continued to ask, "If there is such a reason, then why are you attacking now? Could it be that you have already found a solution?"
Wu Jiuzhui nodded. "These years, I have entered the human world many times and lured large amounts of ferocious beasts over. Using these ferocious beasts as a medium, I have transported a lot of ancient energy to the human world.
Of course, this is just the beginning. The most important thing is that the four great ferocious beasts are about to awaken. When the time comes, we only need to place the four great ferocious beasts in the four corners of the human world to form the Monster Emperor Formation. Then, we will be able to guide half of the ancient energy from the Monster region over!
In this way, the human world will no longer be able to suppress our cultivation. They will not be a match for us at all! "
After listening to his words, my heart was filled with shock.
All these years, I have always guessed that the Monster region was preparing to invade the human world. It was only now that I completely understood their plan.
When the gate to the Mountain and Sea Realm first opened, there was no invasion from the Monster race. Only a large number of Monster beasts came out. I originally thought that they had accidentally barged in, but I never thought that it was all part of the Monster race's plan.
Compared to the Monster race's meticulous plan, the alliance that I had established in the human world was only a small one. The influence it had on the overall situation was almost negligible.
Fortunately, by accident, the Monster race's plan was completely entrusted to the four great ferocious beasts, and I could control the four great ferocious beasts!
In this way, when the Monster race invaded, I only needed to control the four great ferocious beasts and destroy the Monster Emperor Formation. Then, I would be able to reverse the situation in one fell swoop!
At this moment, I could barely conceal the joy in my heart. I immediately cupped my fists towards Pryor and said, "This is my Monster region's thousand year plan. Duo Ji will naturally not hesitate to contribute his strength!"
Pryor thought that my joy was because I was standing on the side of the Monster region, so he didn't suspect anything. Instead, he smiled and nodded. In a clear voice, he said, "This time, your fief only has seven cities. When we conquer the human world in the future, you can have as many cities as you want!
Come, let's drink another cup to celebrate my Monster region's thousand year plan! "
The heavy mood that had been weighing on me for the entire day was completely released at this moment. I poured a cup of wine from my heart, raised my head, and swallowed it.
The atmosphere of the banquet reached its peak. After another round of toasting, I stood up to bid farewell. Pryor once again refused me, saying that he had already prepared a residence for me in the palace. Furthermore, he had already arranged for people to bring over the entire Dog Head Race. I would be staying in the palace for the time being.
