Chapter 829 The Path To Saving The Human Race (2)

Actually, to Zhou Shu, Ji Lutian's method was not the only way to resolve the danger of the human race.

If Heaven wanted to deal with the human race through demonic beasts, wouldn't this danger be resolved as long as the demonic beasts weren't enemies with the human race?

Now that the demonic beasts were attacking the humans crazily because they had all fallen into a state of madness, if they all regained their rationality, this matter could be discussed.

After all, demonic beasts were not wild beasts. Under normal circumstances, there was room for discussion.

Of course, there was another way—simply kill Heaven. This was the drastic solution.

But it wouldn't be easy. Zhou Shu didn't even know what condition Heaven was in. How could he kill it?

Suddenly, Zhou Shu's gaze landed on the Heavenly Dragon Slayer on Hu Li's back.

Hu Li was a flashy fellow. Even when he wasn't in combat, his Heavenly Dragon Slayer was still floating behind him, forming a pair of mighty and domineering wings, flapping up and down.

Could it be…

A thought appeared in Zhou Shu's mind. The difference between Hu Li, Demon King Ao, and Tiangou was definitely not their cultivation. In terms of cultivation, Demon King Ao and Tiangou were stronger than Hu Li. In theory, they should be the ones unaffected.

Apart from their cultivation, there was another difference. Hu Li had an intrinsic divine weapon!

Could it be because Hu Li has an intrinsic divine weapon that he isn't affected by heavenly slaves and can maintain his rationality?

Zhou Shu pondered. If this was the case, Yao Buqi also had an intrinsic divine weapon. His intrinsic divine weapon was the Two Region Mountain. The power of the Two Region Mountain was not inferior to the Heavenly Dragon Slayer.

If intrinsic divine weapons could really prevent demonic beasts from losing their minds, then Yao Buqi shouldn't be afraid of the influence of heavenly slaves.

How could this be explained?

"Shi Changsheng, what are you thinking? Are you a man? Why don't you cooperate with me?" Hu Li said impatiently when he saw Zhou Shu in a daze.

"No," Zhou Shu said straightforwardly. "Hu Li, don't waste your effort. You're becoming stronger, and so are they. If you go now, not only will you not be able to kill that Demon King, but you'll even get yourself into trouble.

"Don't you just want the demonic beasts to regain their consciousness? I might have a way to do it."

Zhou Shu pondered. "Say, if I can make demonic beasts regain their consciousness, do you have a way to recruit a group of demonic beasts and make them no longer enemies of the human race?"

"Aren't you stating the obvious? Who would fight the human race for no reason? If I have the final say, everyone will be free and unfettered. What is the Demon Realm lacking? What's the point of attacking the human world? There's already more than enough in the Demon Realm." Hu Li said. He was not interested in attacking the human world to begin with.

At the end of the day, the Demon Realm always wanted to attack the Ten Nations Continent because of the coercion of Demon King Ao and the other Demon Kings. It didn't matter to the middle and lower-level demonic beasts. Whether they attacked the human race or not didn't make much of a difference to them.

Zhou Shu nodded. This was also one of the reasons why he felt that humans and demonic beasts could coexist peacefully.

Humans could win over the middle and lower-level demonic beasts.

But whether this would work depended on whether his idea was right.

"Shi Changsheng, if we don't kill that Demon King, what other way do you have?" Hu Li asked.

"Hu Li, help me catch a demonic beast first. We still have to try if it works," Zhou Shu said.

"Alright, wait." Hu Li had a straightforward personality to begin with. He didn't think too much about it and flew up.

Seeing Hu Li fly out of the Two Region Mountain and toward the Demon Realm army, Yao Buqi appeared out of nowhere.

He looked around and whispered, "King Zhou, is Demon King Hu Li courting death?"

"What are you talking about? How is he courting death?" Zhou Shu said angrily. "I asked him to capture a demonic beast alive."

"Capture a demonic beast?" Yao Buqi was puzzled.

"That's right. I need a demonic beast to cooperate with me for an experiment. If he doesn't go catch a demonic beast, then you're the only one here. Why don't I try it on you?" Zhou Shu said.

"No!" Yao Buqi immediately shook his head and shrank back. "Demon King Hu Li is strong and will do a good job catching a demonic beast. He'll capture one soon!"

Zhou Shu's gaze sized him up, making Yao Buqi's hair stand on end.

An experiment didn't sound like a good thing.

"Look at how timid you are." Zhou Shu rolled his eyes at him. Yao Buqi's weakness was that he was timid. His strength was also that he was timid.

Speaking of which, if Yao Buqi wasn't timid, he wouldn't have chosen to take refuge with the human race so early.

Hu Li was very fast. A moment later, he returned covered in blood.

Behind him were several human Grotto-Heaven realm experts.

Zhou Shu was stunned for a moment before understanding. It was indeed impressive that Hu Li hadn't been killed when he came to human territory.

"Everyone, please show mercy," Zhou Shu said. "We're on the same side."

"Same side?" The pursuers were dumbfounded. They knew that the expert on this mountain was on their side, but a Demon King?

"What do you mean, Your Excellency?" A Grotto-Heaven realm expert took a step forward and frowned.

"Demon King Hu Li helped the human race kill enemies previously," Zhou Shu said. "I'll explain this to Zhang Jiping, Tang Qianluo, and the others. You should return."

He stood in front of Hu Li and looked straight at the human experts.

The human experts hesitated for a moment before finally cupping their hands to Zhou Shu and retreating to the front line.

Hu Li spat out a mouthful of blood and laughed. "Pfft, do they think they can stop me with just them? Do they think I'm a pushover?"

Zhou Shu looked at the disheveled Hu Li. There were many more wounds on his body, some so deep that his bones were visible.

Zhang Jiping, Zheng Chengan, and Tang Qianluo were not at the front line. Otherwise, there would be nothing left of Hu Li.

"Did you catch a demonic beast?"

Seeing Hu Li throw a demonic beast to the ground, Zhou Shu didn't care about Hu Li's injuries. In any case, his skin was thick, and as long as he didn't die, it didn't matter if he was injured.

"Of course." Hu Li didn't care much about his injuries. He said proudly, "Is one enough? If not, how about I catch a few more? But Shi Changsheng, let me tell you. Although I don't care if one or two demonic beasts die, you can't casually harm us demonic beasts."

"Don't worry," Zhou Shu said. Hu Li didn't show any mercy when killing demonic beasts, but he actually told him this.

His gaze landed on the demonic beast that Hu Li had captured. Although the demonic beast had been subdued by Hu Li, his eyes were red, and he kept roaring like a beast, twisting crazily, and wanting to bite him.

Demonic beasts were completely different from wild beasts. They were called demonic beasts because they had the intelligence of humans.

Especially humanoid demonic beasts, in a sense, they were no different from humans.

But the demonic beast in front of him was no different from a wild beast.

"Hu Li, how did they become like this?" Zhou Shu asked casually,

"Didn't I tell you? They're controlled by that bastard Demon King. As long as we kill that Demon King, they'll regain consciousness," Hu Li said confidently.

"Come with me to kill that Demon King. When they regain their consciousness, I'll tell them not to cause trouble for you humans. What's this called… Right, cooperation is beneficial to both parties!"

"I said it's useless to kill that Demon King." Zhou Shu shook his head. "Watch me. After I make him regain his consciousness, if he dares to be hostile to the human race again, I'll definitely kill him. Whether you can save his life will depend on your ability."

Zhou Shu reached out and pressed his hand on the demonic beast's head. A flame enveloped the demonic beast.
