The purpose of the Witch Clan's attack on Falling Petal Mountain was clear: to annoy the demon race. What could be more satisfying than causing a disruption at the Birthday Banquet of the demon race's Little Prince? Just imagining the furious expression on Demon Emperor Di Jun's proud face filled the Twelve Ancestor Witches with unparalleled excitement as they eagerly led their followers to Falling Petal Mountain to create chaos for the demons.
Far away in the Thirty-Three Heavens, Demon Emperor Di Jun twisted his face in response to his subordinates' reports, just as the Witch Clan desired. He quickly put on a calm facade and discreetly signaled Eastern Emperor Taiyi. Always adept at understanding his brother's thoughts, Eastern Emperor Taiyi immediately grasped the situation and quietly left the banquet, leading a team of elite soldiers from the demon race toward Falling Petal Mountain.
This scene left Ye Chuanze feeling emotional; since becoming Demon Emperor, Di Jun had become increasingly skilled at maintaining composure, showing no signs of anger or joy. To put it bluntly, he had become quite adept at putting on a show.
The Birthday of the Demon Prince was a significant festive occasion, with guests arriving from all directions to celebrate at the Heavenly Palace in the Thirty-Three Heavens. As a result, many capable and influential figures from the demon race were attending the banquet, leaving their stronghold in the human realm vulnerable with only minor soldiers remaining. This provided a perfect opportunity for the Witch Clan to attack Falling Petal Mountain.
With little difficulty, they conquered Falling Petal Mountain. The Witch Clan celebrated their success in humiliating Demon Emperor Di Jun, believing that this disgrace would linger in his memory for a century. The thought that their actions today would repeatedly irritate him for years brought them immense satisfaction.
Having taken over the demon race's stronghold and lair, the Witch Clan was quite pleased with themselves. However, they remained aware of their objective: to annoy the demon race! The more discomfort they caused, the more pleasure they derived! Thus, when Eastern Emperor Taiyi arrived with his forces, the Witch Clan offered only token resistance before retreating effortlessly.
Seeing this situation unfold, even Eastern Emperor Taiyi, who usually had a good temper, could not help but change his expression. It was clear what was happening—the Witch Clan's intentions were obvious; their goal was not merely Falling Petal Mountain but to deliberately disrupt and humiliate them during this joyous occasion!
Eastern Emperor Taiyi felt deep resentment; today's humiliation must be avenged!
Essentially, Eastern Emperor Taiyi's thoughts mirrored those of Demon Emperor Di Jun. Di Jun was more imposing and ruthless than Taiyi and cared more about face. The Witch Clan had slapped him in the face; if Taiyi was angry, Di Jun was even angrier! After the banquet ended, Demon Emperor Di Jun entered his study with a grim expression to plot revenge against the Witch Clan with his powerful subordinates.
Thus began the formal period of the Lich War. Under their ruler Di Jun's leadership, the demon race launched a series of vengeful activities, vowing to teach a lesson to those detestable Witch Clan members who had dared to humiliate them! Their audacity needed to be punished!
Facing these aggressive little demons, the Witch Clan felt no pressure at all; fighting was their specialty! Residing on Earth amidst beautiful yet perilous nature, they were accustomed to battling fierce beasts and driving away venomous snakes and insects. From birth, they faced countless battles against nature and all dangerous foes; fighting was in their nature!
The ferocious Witch Clan declared boldly: "Come on! Little demons, bring it on! Unless we make you cry like babies, you won't know who’s boss!"
The demon race responded with just two words: "Heh heh!"
The Lich War Instance officially begins!
On the Primeval Continent, the flames of war spread, with battles raging every day. Aside from the Lich Clans, who fought like they were on a blood frenzy, other powerful immortals remained holed up in their caves to avoid being caught in the crossfire. Of course, there were also some opportunists, like those two from the West.
In this critical moment, the Demon God known as Ye Chuanze, who held the reputation of a war god among the demon race, faced a significant choice in his life. In this Lich War Instance, should he fight or not?
The Lich Clans have never been short of conflicts. Initially, they fought over territory and resources. After a highly orchestrated plan by Demon Emperor Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and with close execution by Demon God Ye Chuanze and Fuxi, along with the cooperation of others from the demon race, the first Lich War led to a basic division of power among the Lich Clans. The Witch Clan occupied vast and fertile lands but had a sparse population, so they were indifferent about giving up some land that was unnecessary for them.
The struggle between the demon race and the Witch Clan was fundamentally about land ownership. Now they had successfully bitten off a piece of flesh from the Witch Clan, which left them quite satisfied. The demon race was powerful, and while the Witch Clan was not weak either, they were not arrogant enough to believe they could completely usurp the Witch Clan's dominance over the land. Taking even a small piece of land from the Witch Clan's claws was no easy feat.
Regarding the outcome of the first Lich War, both sides expressed that although the process was somewhat arduous and unsatisfactory, the result was acceptable. Thus, under mutual satisfaction and joy, the first Lich War came to an end.
Unlike the first war that stemmed from the demon race's dense population and lack of resources leading to territorial disputes for survival, the second Lich conflict was much more complex.
On the surface, this second Lich conflict arose because the demon race was dissatisfied with the Witch Clan attacking Falling Petal Mountain during Demon Prince's Christmas banquet, which embarrassed them. They fought to regain their honor. The Witch Clan actively responded, and both sides engaged in fierce battles.
However, this was merely a facade; both Demon Emperor Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi were seasoned adults known for their cunning strategies. It would be foolish to believe that such trivial matters could spark a full-scale war between two races! Anyone who thought so must have serious intelligence issues! Ye Chuanze considered himself intelligent enough not to buy into such an obviously absurd excuse.
Ultimately, conflicts among liches boiled down to struggles for interests. Demon Emperor Di Jun was ambitious; Ye Chuanze recognized this when he first met him. He had established Heavenly Palace and claimed dominion over the skies while setting his sights on ruling the earth—a desire he had harbored for quite some time. Meanwhile, the Witch Clan had settled on earth since primordial times and cultivated wastelands; they were kings of the land. One sought dominion over earth while the other defended their throne. The contradictions were stark, and battle was imminent. The so-called provocation by the Witch Clan against the demon race was merely a trigger!
In the first Lich War, both sides were testing each other. The demon race probed into the Witch Clan's bottom line by attacking some remote territories that belonged to them while continuously challenging their dominion over land to gauge their attitude—whether they were inclined towards war or peace. The Witch Clan was also testing the strength of the demon race; their growing power posed a threat to this ruler of earth.
After the first Lich War concluded, both sides ended their probing and had their own calculations in mind. What followed was another round of confrontation: The demon race aimed to acquire more territory and benefits while the Witch Clan sought to defend their rule as kings of earth while teaching a lesson to those who dared challenge their authority. The second great war of the demon race unfolded under careful planning by the Lich Clans.
Ye Chuanze watched the Lich Clans fighting fiercely, battling to the point of exhaustion, and couldn't help but think to himself, fighting against heaven, earth, and each other, it seems endless! Even if they continue to fight, the dominion of this land will not belong to either of them; this should be the territory of humanity! Ye Chuanze couldn't help but wonder, if thousands of years later, when humanity becomes the main character of heaven and earth and occupies the dominion of the land, would these two clans, who are currently fighting to the death for control, be so furious that they would spit blood? They would have worked hard for nothing, only to end up with nothing.
Although Ye Chuanze was illiterate in his past life and had only a vague understanding of ancient myths and legends, he had common sense! In his previous life as a human, those celestial beings and demons had long been submerged in history, becoming legends that seemed real yet were not. Humanity occupied and ruled the land. Fairies had become evil beings; everyone shouted against them. What was the Witch Clan? Most people didn't even know what that was!
From this simple deduction based on available information, it was clear that the outcome for the Lich Clans would ultimately be tragic, paving the way for humanity's rise. The Lich Clans were far stronger than humanity; humanity was insignificant in comparison. If the Lich Clans hadn't ultimately fallen, there would be no way for humanity to occupy this land. Currently, humanity only held a small piece of land due to the favor of Nüwa and Ye Chuanze, surviving and reproducing in the cracks left by the Lich Clans.
Ye Chuanze speculated that according to historical patterns, it was likely that the Lich Clans fought each other until both sides were severely weakened, allowing humanity to take advantage. History often repeats itself; tens of thousands of years ago, the Lich Clans struggled for survival in the cracks between the Dragon and Phoenix clans. Eventually, when the Dragon and Phoenix clans fought each other to exhaustion, it benefited the Lich Clans. Now, tens of thousands of years later, the powerful and prosperous Lich clans were following in the footsteps of the Dragon and Phoenix clans' conflicts. At this moment, only humanity remained on Primordial Land, making them the ultimate winners without any fourth party present, thus avoiding a repeat of history.
Ye Chuanze felt he had uncovered some truth.
Wait a minute! A sudden flash of insight struck Ye Chuanze; he seemed to have discovered something significant. The Dragon and Phoenix were fighting while the Lich thrived; Nüwa created humans while the Lich battled. If everything unfolded as he deduced, then it was all too coincidental—almost as if it were deliberate. It felt like someone was manipulating everything behind the scenes; it was as intricate as a carefully laid plan.
In an instant, a chill ran through Ye Chuanze's heart; he couldn't help but shiver. If this were true, it would be terrifying! Who was orchestrating all this from behind? He felt as though he had stepped into a play from the very beginning, acting out a script as desired by someone hidden behind the scenes—every move he made was part of that person's meticulously crafted narrative.
Ye Chuanze's face turned pale; this was simply too frightening. Was there really someone capable of planning all this? Such an intricate scheme that controlled everyone's actions within it—even their thoughts and emotions? Ye Chuanze believed this was just his absurd speculation, yet an unsettling feeling lingered in his heart. Perhaps it was because he always held onto an outsider's perspective, thinking himself awake while others were drunk—watching everything from above as an outsider allowed him to notice things others overlooked, which only heightened his unease.
