Absolute control over the start, I will develop my own immortality

Resource issues are only one of them.

The second problem is the character of the demons.

Demons generally have violent personalities, and often become enemies of many forces in the entire spiritual world because of their own fault.

When facing the crazy harassment from the Four Armies Alliance, the demons, with their violent temper, were able to suppress their anger and instead set up a defensive line.

Although having a bad temper does not mean being brainless, it is a little abnormal to suppress one's temper and anger for the sake of some resources that are very important to humans but not particularly important to demons.

It’s like if you work for someone else, earning $100,000 a month, working hard and never complaining, and even if your boss insults you, you won’t have too many complaints.

But if your monthly salary is 3,000 yuan, and your boss scolds you, you will definitely retort!

Although for the strong ones at the Return to Void level, all resources can be directly decomposed into vital energy for absorption.

But that is for returning to the void.

No one below the Return to Void stage has this ability.

The Yuanling Sect had already transported a large portion of high-level resources to the Four Army Alliance long before, and the rest were naturally of lower level.

Plus there is a mismatch of resources.

For the demons, it is really no different from a monthly salary of three thousand.

Moreover, the demons are very clear about the situation in Beijie City. No matter what, Beijie City has already regarded Tianheng City as a piece of fat meat on its chopping board.

Even though it was a little late because of the competition, Tianheng City would eventually fall into the hands of the forces in Beijie City.

After all, the demons are too far away from here.

Therefore, what they should do most is to make a lot of money, even if it means exhausting all the resources.

Even if it is a chicken that lays golden eggs, it will be killed and eaten at this time, instead of pursuing the golden eggs it will lay in the future.

Because they don't have that future.

But the demons now want to protect those industries.

It looks like it's going to be a long-term business.

It's really strange.

Zhou Ming was eager to know the reason why the demons did this in order to speculate on how events would develop next and avoid a situation like before where he had made a plan but a huge turn of events occurred, forcing him to create a clone to pretend to be a demon and attack his cleaning team.

However, the demon clan’s plan this time was extremely covert, unlike the previous Hufenglin plan.

The Hufenglin Project must cultivate enough parasitic magic insects in a short period of time and spread them throughout the Hufenglin.

In that vast area, there live countless monsters.

It is not easy to keep the parasitic insects from all of them.

Therefore, a lot of manpower and material resources are required.

Therefore, the people arranged by Zhou Ming were able to smoothly enter the corresponding teams and participate in this plan.

There is no other reason, it’s just because the demons don’t have enough manpower.

But this time, the demon clan's plan was extremely secretive and limited in scope.

Perhaps only those Demons who have returned to the Void and were brought here by the Demon Lord himself know the secret.

"I wonder if he understands the secret..."

Zhou Ming thought of another spy he had planted among the demons besides the Moming Palace.

In Tianheng City.

The long defense line divides the entire city into two halves, north and south. Every stronghold on the line is guarded by a demon clan's Return to Void cultivator.

But in fact, not all the returning to the void under the command of the current Demon Lord are demons.

Before, the demons made many conditions in order to recruit soldiers.

One of the conditions is to help some cultivators at the peak of the Spiritualization Realm to break through to the Return to Void Realm.

With these conditions, they attracted many peak-level Jindan monks in Tianheng City and its surrounding areas to join the demon clan.

Although later with the establishment of the Four Army Alliance, the Four Army Alliance offered better conditions.

But before that, there were still many cultivators at the peak of the Jindan realm who joined the demon clan.

Over the years, the demons have not broken their promise, but have actually used their resources to help them break through and return to the void.

After all, the demons are few in number, and adding a Return to Void cultivator means they have a higher chance of winning.

But how difficult is it to break through and return to the void?

What's more, since these people have defected to the demon clan, they naturally want to practice the demon clan's methods.

Not only are the demon methods unsuitable for humans, they also tend to take unconventional approaches, so the success rate of breakthroughs is much lower than normal breakthrough methods.

Therefore, most of the peak-level cultivators who defected to the demon clan failed to break through.

However, there was indeed a lucky person among them who, with the help of the demons, actually broke through to the Return to Void Realm.

This person is the Ghost Demon Ancestor of the Ghost Demon Sect who came from the Skyfire Rift Valley.

He is also the third most important person in the mysterious organization, codenamed Shanren!

Prior to this, Zhou Ming had already taken control of the mysterious organization and brainwashed and controlled several of its most important figures, including the Ghost Demon Ancestor.

The reason why the Ghost Demon Ancestor surrendered to the Demon Clan was not only because the method he practiced was to absorb the evil energy between heaven and earth, which was similar to that of the Demon Clan, so his compatibility with the Demon Clan's methods was relatively high.

At the same time, it was also because Zhou Ming was secretly controlling and influencing everything.

In addition to him, several other people in the mysterious organization were also influenced by Zhou Ming and defected to the Four Army Alliance and the Demon Clan respectively.

However, mysterious organizations have always maintained their basic principles of mystery, so members do not know each other's identities, and naturally do not know that they are actually members of the same organization.

As one of the first people to surrender, Guisha Patriarch received the best treatment from the demon clan.

But to be honest, the probability of breaking through and returning to the void is really too low.

The chances of temporarily changing one's practice like them are even lower.

Even though the technique that the Ghost Demon Ancestor originally practiced was to absorb the evil energy and match the demon clan, it was not the true method of the demon clan after all.

Among so many people, he was able to break through successfully, and Zhou Ming also contributed a lot to this.

Therefore, this Ghost Demon Ancestor is actually another spy that Zhou Ming has planted among the demons besides the Moming Palace.

And he is the highest-ranking spy!

However, humans are intelligent living beings, not dead objects.

Not to mention that Zhou Ming just brainwashed him and then let him go outside.

Even those top forces, who have trained and brainwashed their warriors since childhood, may be able to display their own unique will when encountering certain things, thus getting rid of the influence of brainwashing.

The longer the Ghost Demon Ancestor is left outside, the less effect the brainwashing will have on him.

Especially after he successfully broke through to the Return to Void Realm.

The Ghost Demon Ancestor... no, the Ghost Demon Venerable, is actually no longer obedient to orders.

If we ask him for information this time, there is a high probability... no, it should be said that there is a 100% chance that he will not obey us like before.

However, Zhou Ming didn't care about this.

Even if he achieved Return to the Void, he was only in the early stage of Return to the Void.

With Zhou Ming's ability, he can easily suppress it, and then directly extract the memory and brainwash it again.
