Chapter 591: About to Resurrect

“Internal conflict? What internal conflict? Come, tell me in detail.”

Lin Xun smiled and tossed a bone to the dog.

Goudan barked and jumped up, catching the bone in mid-air.

Holding the braised bone, Goudan gave it two licks before slowly speaking while clutching it:

“Back then, your Myriad Races were indeed formidable; you blocked us for a very, very long time.

However, based on the strength of your Myriad Races back then, it was absolutely insufficient to wipe us out.

But at that time, a problem arose.

Back then, our Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan split into two factions. One faction wanted to conquer this world and turn the Myriad Races into slaves! We would be the high and mighty nobles.

The other faction, however, wanted to use the Myriad Races as nourishment.”

“Nourishment?”

“Exactly, nourishment. That faction of Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan wanted to use the Myriad Races as fuel to strengthen themselves, step into a higher Realm, and turn the entire world into a purgatory.

In other words, they wanted to become gods.

At the very least, they wanted to become god-like existences.”

“Interesting.”

Lin Xun said with a smile.

“Then you shouldn’t have had any conflicts, right?

Enslaving the Myriad Races versus using them as nourishment—to me, it seems about the same.”

“No, no, no, Lin Xun, you’re wrong. The difference between the two is far too great.”

The dog shook its head while holding the bone.

“We Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan wanted to rule the Myriad Races. In other words, we wanted the Myriad Races to serve us. The core essence was still coexistence, just with us having a higher status.

But the other faction was different; their goal was to exterminate all races, leaving only the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan in this world!”

“Alright, that is indeed different. But why would that cause an internal conflict? Did the other faction damage your interests?”

“Of course!”

Goudan nodded while clutching the bone.

“If all the other races in the world go extinct, what’s the point anymore?!

With no one to serve us, we’d lose that feeling of being superior.

What meaning would this world have?

Let me ask you, would you want to be the only person left in this world?”

“No,” Lin Xun answered instantly.

“Exactly. For intelligent races—and even non-intelligent ones—the meaning of living in this world is, to a large extent, built upon others.

Looking at those high above, you’ll think about becoming an existence like them.

And looking at those races weaker than you, you’ll feel a strange sense of superiority.

Furthermore, that group of guys wanted to establish a barren world! A world where only desolation remains!

Who could stand that?”

“And so, you betrayed them?” Lin Xun asked.

“What do you mean, betrayed?” Goudan waved his paw. “This dog didn’t betray them; it’s called cutting one’s losses. If we’re talking about betrayal, it was you people who betrayed us!”

“How so?” Lin Xun asked doubtfully.

“Hmph!”

Goudan seemed quite displeased in his heart.

“You bunch of stinking things! We agreed that after fighting the other Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan together, we would coexist peacefully, and our status would even be more transcendent!

But look what happened!

How are you any different from those freeloaders at a brothel?

You pull up your pants and stop recognizing people immediately.

After we helped you Seal the Demon Lord, you actually turned around and bit the hand that fed you, sealing us as well.

Hmph!

Back then, we felt it would have been better to just kill all you wretches.”

“Then why didn’t you choose to take revenge?” Lin Xun inquired.

“Revenge? Why take revenge?”

Goudan took another lick of the bone.

“This current era is extremely fun; it’s not boring like the ancient times.

Just the delicacies of this era alone are countless times more than in the ancient period.

This dog wants to live well in this world, eat all the delicacies, and play with all the fun things in existence.

Moreover, this dog believes that the creativity of the Myriad Races is infinite!

You will definitely continue to develop!

This dog’s lifespan is endless, and I believe you will surely create more fun things to please me.”

“So? How do you plan to help me?”

Lin Xun rested his chin on his hand and asked the dog, who was still licking the bone.

“Heh heh heh…”

The dog stood up proudly.

“It’s simple. You and I just need to sign an agreement.”

“An agreement? What kind of agreement?”

“A cooperation agreement.

As long as we sign it, my faction of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan will help you with all our might!

But! We must also share the fruits of the final victory!

We want to become legal citizens of your Myriad Law Kingdom and receive your protection!”

“It’s the Myriad Law Alliance,” Lin Xun corrected.

“It’s all the same.”

Goudan waved his dog paw.

“In any case, your Myriad Law Alliance will eventually become the Myriad Law Kingdom.

Regardless, we want to exist legally in this world!

No one is allowed to exterminate us without cause! How about it?”

“Deal.”

Lin Xun nodded, agreeing to the other party’s request.

“But the problem is, how will you persuade your faction to join us?

Not to mention your faction was once betrayed; they should have deep-seated hatred for the Myriad Races.”

“Heh heh heh, you don’t need to worry about that.”

Goudan said smugly.

“Don’t look at me like this; I’m actually the leader of my faction.

Although my faction hates your Myriad Races and basically lacks any trust…

I trust you, and I have the confidence to persuade the other Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan in my faction.

I believe that between trusting me and waiting for the Demon Lord’s resurrection, they will definitely lean toward my side.”

“In that case, let it be as you say.” Lin Xun nodded. “However, I have one more question.”

“Speak.”

“You’re only answering me now; I imagine it’s not as simple as you suddenly having a change of heart, right? What exactly is the other reason?”

“This… alright…”

The dog spread its paws.

“Actually, the Demon Lord is about to be resurrected.”
