Chapter 559: The New Ten Thousand Demon Country

“If it were according to Mother’s wishes, then although the Ten Thousand Demon Country would experience some upheaval,

this turmoil is extremely necessary.

Moreover, after this upheaval, many of the old nobles of the Ten Thousand Demon Country would be eliminated.

Thus, no matter who it is, they would be filled with confidence in the present Ten Thousand Demon Country.

After the great cleansing, it would be an immense step forward.

The Ten Thousand Demon Country would enter a period of supreme prosperity.

With the support of that thirty percent of the Human Race, the Ten Thousand Demon Country would become even more powerful.

And this would also serve as an extremely significant example!

We could recruit more Cultivators from the Myriad Laws World.

But the decision Father made back then completely blocked off this path.

Now, the resistance from the Human Race within the Ten Thousand Demon Country is becoming increasingly intense.

In recent years, haven’t the incidents stirred up by the Human Race in the Ten Thousand Demon Country been numerous enough?

Even if we suppress them with violence every time, what good does it do?”

She Qiqi looked at her father, saying everything she needed to say.

“Perhaps so…”

The Demon Emperor raised his head, gazing at the sky.

“Qiqi, what you say indeed makes sense.

But who can truly predict the outcome of such matters?

I do not regret the decision I made back then.

Of course, I also won’t say your judgments are wrong.

In short, you have your reasons, and I have mine, which ultimately led to this outcome.

Alright, Xiao Qi, let’s not speak of those things anymore.

Xiao Qi, if you have finished asking your questions, then you may kill me now.

After killing me, you will become the ruler of this Ten Thousand Demon Country.

As for what changes the Ten Thousand Demon Country will undergo afterwards, that is no longer my concern.

I believe that, as the sovereign of the Ten Thousand Demon Country, you will do better than I did.

As for your mother, if she is still waiting for me beneath the Yellow Springs, she can beat or scold me as she wishes.

I indeed owe your mother a life.

But I can only repay it in the next life.”

The Demon Emperor closed his eyes, as if relinquishing all struggle, surrendering himself to whatever She Qiqi would do.

She Qiqi looked at her father, her eyes blinking gently, her thoughts unknown.

Finally, She Qiqi stood up and walked into the palace.

“Today, in the Ten Thousand Demon Country, the ruler of the Ten Thousand Demon Country has been beheaded by me, She Qiqi.

I, She Qiqi, ascend to the throne today.

Remaining resistance remnants who surrender will be incorporated into the new Ten Thousand Demon Country’s structure.

Others who remain obstinate will all be beheaded.”

She Qiqi’s words spread slowly across the battlefield.

Outside the battlefield, the Demon Emperor’s soldiers all laid down their weapons one after another, abandoning their resistance.

This was originally a civil war between father and daughter.

The soldiers on both sides originally came from the same country; what grudges could there be?

It was only out of loyalty to their respective lords that they fought to the bloody end.

Now, since the Demon Emperor had already given up resistance, there was no need to continue fighting.

The Demon Emperor watched his daughter’s retreating figure until that slender silhouette disappeared into the imperial city, then he let out a deep sigh.

The Demon Emperor felt not the slightest bit of joy at being alive.

He even felt that dying like this might have been a form of release.

He knew that his daughter did not kill him because she wanted him to atone for his sins!

The Demon Emperor slowly stood up and walked in the opposite direction from She Qiqi.

The soldiers on the battlefield stood to the sides, clearing a path for the Demon Emperor.

The Demon Emperor hunched over, as if he had aged many years after this great battle.

No one knew where the Demon Emperor would go.

But they all knew.

The Demon Emperor would not seek to stage a comeback.

And She Qiqi would become the first empress in the history of the Ten Thousand Demon Country!

At the moment She Qiqi ascended the throne,

the curtain rose on the transformation of the Ten Thousand Demon Country.

This transformation spanned a brief period of less than six years.

But in these six years, many events occurred.

Moreover, while it seemed to happen in just these six short years,

in reality, whether it was Chu Yaoyao’s uprising over a decade ago,

or She Qiqi’s various schemes, plans, and laying of groundwork over the past hundred years, all required considerable effort and time.

After this transformation, She Qiqi and Chu Yaoyao jointly took control of the Ten Thousand Demon Country.

Almost everyone thought She Qiqi and Chu Yaoyao would fight each other.

Or directly split the entire Ten Thousand Demon Country.

However, unexpectedly, She Qiqi did not turn her spearhead directly against Chu Yaoyao.

The first thing Chu Yaoyao did was to eliminate all the officials she had long found displeasing.

Then, she placed her own people in the positions she desired.

Furthermore, Chu Yaoyao also…

Observing the stabilized situation in the Ten Thousand Demon Country, Chu Yaoyao did not launch an attack against She Qiqi.

Not only that, Chu Yaoyao also ordered her army to exercise restraint and take no action.

After spending nearly half a year gradually stabilizing the Ten Thousand Demon Country’s situation, She Qiqi then held a conversation with Chu Yaoyao that lasted half a month.

During that conversation, She Qiqi and Chu Yaoyao stayed together in a single room.

Besides them, there was no third person.

Therefore, no one knew the exact content of that conversation.

But what is certain is that Chu Yaoyao became the largest feudal lord in the present Ten Thousand Demon Country, bar none.

Moreover, the authority of Chu Yaoyao’s feudal domain is extremely great, even to the point of being a state within a state.

Everyone was very surprised by the outcome of this conversation.

The reason for the surprise lies in one point: Chu Yaoyao originally came with the aim of restoring the imperial family.

But Chu Yaoyao and She Qiqi did not fight to the death.

And not only did they not fight to the death,

their relationship seems very good, exceptionally close!

As if they were biological sisters, with no distinction between yours and mine.

After She Qiqi and Chu Yaoyao reconciled, Chu Yaoyao had no objections and returned to her own territory.

Chu Yaoyao’s territory is not small; it is an integration of several large provinces.

It can be said that the area Chu Yaoyao currently rules is one-third of the entire Ten Thousand Demon Country—an extremely vast territory!

Many people advised She Qiqi not to do this.

Because doing so is simply nurturing a tiger that will become a threat.

Although Chu Yaoyao is nominally a feudal lord, in reality, the place where Chu Yaoyao now resides is essentially a country.

If in the future, Chu Yaoyao one day suddenly wants to stir up trouble,

then the entire Ten Thousand Demon Country would be thrown into turmoil!

But facing the ministers’ admonitions, She Qiqi merely smiled faintly.

She guarantees that Chu Yaoyao will never do such a thing.
