Chapter 135 An Unexpected Joy!
"It's entirely up to Your Majesty!"
Seeing how efficient Nuwa was, Zhao Gongming was overjoyed and even eager to get started.
It should be noted that cultivating the twelve-petaled Golden Lotus of Merit consumed a considerable amount of his merit.
If we can gather the primordial demon race, we can start the 2.0 version of the primordial infrastructure construction.
It probably won't be long before the lost merits and fortunes are recovered, and it's not impossible that they can even make further progress.
"Um!"
After Nuwa finished speaking, she took out a golden gourd. She opened the gourd's stopper, and a long green banner appeared with a rustling sound.
This is the famous Demon-Summoning Banner, which is said to be able to summon and command all the demons of the primordial world when activated.
Soon, not long after the Demon-Summoning Banner was unleashed, hundreds of demon figures appeared in Nuwa's Palace.
Don't underestimate the significance of a hundred.
This is the chaotic starry sky, where only a Great Luo Golden Immortal can cross to reach the Nuwa Palace.
In other words, among these hundreds of demons, even the weakest one was at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
The aura emanating from the three leading demons had already surpassed the limit of the Great Luo Golden Immortal and reached the Quasi-Saint level.
As Zhao Gongming looked at them, the three quasi-saints and demon saints also looked at Zhao Gongming, nodding slightly to him and actively showing goodwill.
As an ancient overlord race, the demon race's foundation is naturally not limited to this. At its peak, there were as many as a thousand Great Luo Golden Immortal Demon Kings!
The Demon Saint possesses the number twelve perfect perfections.
Only a small portion has arrived so far.
However, since the Sage Nuwa had already explained the reasons, their arrival naturally signifies that they have already made their choice.
After these demons paid homage to the sage Nuwa, the leading demon looked at Zhao Gongming and said, "Your Majesty, the sage has explained the reason to us!"
Repairing the ley lines is a great opportunity for us, and it's no big deal to ask for advice!
However, we have a request: we hope that Your Majesty will allow us to follow you and serve under your command!
Looking at the person who spoke, Zhao Gongming asked, "Who are you?"
"I forgot to introduce myself. I am Bai Ze, and I wish to follow Your Majesty and serve you!"
Upon hearing this person's name, Zhao Gongming's heart stirred.
This person is very famous. He is the leader of the Ten Great Demon Saints and is known as the strategist of the demon race. I never expected that Goddess Nuwa would give me such a pleasant surprise.
They even summoned this ancient demon god.
However, Zhao Gongming remained calm and said indifferently, "Have you thought it through?"
If you follow me, things will never be the same as before.
From now on, I shall be the master of all matters!
Moreover, there are already no more divine positions to be bestowed under my command!
Upon hearing this, Bai Ze replied without hesitation, "If the Emperor will take me in, I will swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao that I will obey the Emperor's commands in the future, and if I disobey, may Heaven and Earth annihilate me!"
Rumble!
Just as Bai Ze finished speaking, the Heavenly Dao sensed it, and thunder resounded in the void. Clearly, Bai Ze's vow had taken effect.
The Heavenly Dao is supreme in the primordial world, and vows are not made lightly.
If one violates this rule, one's cultivation will not advance even an inch, which is the lightest consequence. In the worst case, one could perish on the spot and one's cultivation would be completely extinguished.
Now it was Zhao Gongming's turn to be surprised. Although he, Old Zhao, was also a handsome young man on Jin'ao Island back then, his charm had not reached this level, had it?
The demon saint Bai Ze standing before him was the leader of the ten ancient demon saints, and his primordial spirit cultivation was the same as his own, both at the late stage of quasi-saint level.
Even in the entire Immortal Realm, this is a top-tier expert.
Such a being, who would bow down upon meeting you and be intimidated by your domineering aura, seems almost impossible just to imagine.
But soon, Zhao Gongming seemed to realize something, and looking at Bai Ze in front of him, a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.
He immediately stepped forward to help Bai Ze up, and said with a smile, "Bai Ze, the Demon Saint, it is truly Ziwei's good fortune to have your help. Please rise!"
How could we forget that this Bai Ze Demon Saint possesses the ability to understand all things!
This was the first time he had met Bai Ze, but the demon saint in front of him probably already knew about his actions in the Three Realms.
Therefore, it is perfectly reasonable for him to want to join the Ziwei Huan.
Of course, Zhao Gongming was also sincere. After all, he now had a powerful expert at the late stage of Quasi-Saint under his command, so he wouldn't have to personally handle everything in the future.
"Bai Ze, now that you are under the command of Emperor Ziwei, you are no longer bound by the Demon-Summoning Banner!"
The sage Nuwa was pleased with this outcome. These demon saints and demon kings, though seemingly powerful, were actually burdened by karma, and their cultivation had not progressed at all for millions of years.
If one can follow Zhao Gongming and accumulate merit, it will not be difficult. By doing so, one can offset one's own karma and one day improve one's cultivation.
And just as she finished speaking, Nuwa took out a wisp of her primordial spirit from the Demon-Summoning Banner and returned it to Bai Ze.
This scene stirred the great demons on the field, making them tempted as well.
Bai Ze, the Demon Saint, was a strategist of the demon race. Back when the Heavenly Court still existed, even the two supreme demon emperors valued him highly.
Even such beings are willing to follow this Emperor Ziwei, so what are they hesitating for?
Although they will lose their freedom, they will have to obey the orders of this Ziwei Emperor in the future.
However, compared to being burdened by karma and unable to make progress in cultivation, these are naturally nothing.
If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening!
Those who are not cultivators simply cannot comprehend the despair of having one's path to enlightenment severed!
Soon, the remaining two demon saints also stepped forward and bowed, saying, "This humble Taoist, Ji Meng (Gui Che), is willing to follow the Emperor and obey his commands!"
Zhao Gongming was overjoyed upon seeing this.
Bai Ze, the Demon Saint, is considered the pinnacle of intelligence among Demon Saints, while Ji Meng and Gui Che in front of him are probably the pinnacle of combat power among Demon Saints.
These two, the former is an ancient general of the Dragon Palace, an ancient great supernatural being who experienced the Dragon-Han War. Not only is his cultivation amazing, but his physical body is also extremely strong.
It is a primordial, exotic species, its true form being a nine-headed bird, which is also extremely ferocious.
At the same time, seeing that the three demon saints had already taken the initiative to follow Emperor Ziwei, the remaining many Great Luo Demon Kings naturally did not hesitate any longer and immediately bowed down.
Zhao Gongming was overjoyed. A full hundred powerful cultivators—this force, if not overwhelming in the Earthly Immortal Realm, was probably the strongest force outside of the great sects of the sages. Even the Heavenly Court, the nominal ruler of the Three Realms, probably couldn't muster such power. Moreover, he also possessed the Zhou Tian Star Array, a top-tier primordial array. If these hundred powerful demon cultivators were to set it up, the power they could unleash would be unimaginable, likely enough to rival a sage with three corpses.
His original intention was simply to gather the primordial demon race, repair the primordial earth vein nodes, and gain a large amount of merit.
Who would have thought that such an unexpected joy would occur?
