"Benefits?" Li Wanji raised her eyebrows. "We just want to live a peaceful life, but the human race has repeatedly invaded. If we don't teach them a lesson today, there's no guarantee they won't come back tomorrow."
Old man Tianji was silent for a moment. He naturally knew that what Li Wanji said was true.
Human beings' ambition and greed, hunting, enslaving and oppressing other races are facts that cannot be avoided.
However, as a wise man in the fairy world, he has devoted his life to maintaining peace and coexistence between humans and demons, and he cannot watch the hatred between the two races continue to deepen.
"Patriarch Li, I understand your concerns."
"But killing is not the best way to solve the problem. Today, if you trust me, please give me a favor and let them go. I promise that I will do my best to restrain the human race and stop invading the demon race."
Li Wanji looked at the sincere eyes of old man Tianji and couldn't help feeling a little shaken.
She knew that Old Man Tianji had a high status in the fairy world, so his promise naturally carried a certain weight.
However, how could she easily believe the promises of the human race?
"Old man Tianji, I will naturally give you face." Li Wanji took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "But empty words are not enough. I need you to give me a definite guarantee."
"What do you want?" asked old man Tianji.
"I want you to sign an alliance with my demon race." Li Wanji said firmly, "In your name, I guarantee that the human race will no longer invade my demon race's territory. If we violate this, we will be punished by heaven."
Hearing this, Old Man Tianji frowned. He knew that once this covenant was signed, it would mean that he would take on the responsibility of restraining the human race.
But he had to do it! Because it was the only way to calm the situation.
"Okay." Elder Tianji finally nodded, "I am willing to sign this covenant with you."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and shook hands with Li Wanji as a sign of alliance.
As the two men's palms collided, a golden light flashed and the covenant was officially established.
There was a faint rumble of thunder in the sky, as if witnessing the conclusion of this covenant.
Li Wanji felt a slight vibration coming from her palm, and it was as if a huge stone fell from her heart.
With this covenant, the future of the demon race is at least more secure.
Elder Tianji put away his palm and looked at Li Wanji deeply: "Patriarch Li, I hope you can keep your promise and stop provoking trouble."
"As long as the human race does not invade us, we will naturally not take the initiative to attack."
Elder Tianji nodded, then turned to Shanyue Tianzun and the others and said, "Let's go."
Shanyue Tianzun no longer had the arrogance he had before, and left in shame with old man Tianji.
The battered warships slowly sailed away from the waters of Xianling Island. Li Wanji, Jiuluo Nanxing and others stood on the shore and watched them go away.
"Wan Ji, do you really believe in the promise of old man Tianji?" Jiuluo Nanxing couldn't help but ask.
Li Wanji was silent for a moment: "I don't completely believe it, but at least this is a start. With this covenant, we have a platform for equal dialogue with the human race."
She turned and looked at all her companions: "See, justice is only within the scope of overwhelming strength. From now on, we must work harder to practice and improve our strength. Only in this way can we truly protect ourselves and our home."
After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Li Wanji's words were like a shot of adrenaline, injected into everyone's heart.
Everything returned to calm, and for a long time afterwards, the Fairyland was immersed in peace and harmony.
After all the spirit gathering arrays on the continent were set up, Baili Changge and Bai Lingxue returned with the Xirang they found from Huaxu.
At this point, a full ten years had passed since they left.
Both looked weather-beaten.
Their faces were sallow, their hair had no luster, and their limbs had obvious scars. It was obvious that they had experienced a lot of hardships in searching for Xirang over the past ten years.
"Wan Ji, fortunately we have fulfilled our mission. Ling Xue and I have finally found Xi Ran!"
Baili Changge spread out his palms. A piece of black soil emitting a warm luster lay quietly in his palms, with a faint spiritual energy flowing around it.
This is exactly the Xirang left by the goddess Nuwa!
It can grow on its own and is endless. It is a treasure that transforms the land and nourishes all things.
Seeing this, Li Wanji's eyes became slightly moist. She took a step forward, gently took the Xirang, and felt a strong vitality pouring into her palm.
"Great! With this fertile soil, our land will surely become fertile and produce more spiritual plants!"
Bai Lingxue smiled in relief: "Yes, in the past ten years we have traveled to every corner of Huaxu, and even went deep into those legendary forbidden areas, and finally found this precious Xirang."
Li Wanji looked at their haggard appearance and felt very sad: "Changge, Lingxue, you have worked hard. Next, just have a good rest, and leave the rest to us."
She turned around and handed the Xirang to Jiuluo Nanxing: "Nanxing, you are good at farming, so I will give this Xirang to you to cultivate in the cultivation garden first, and cultivate more Xirang seeds as soon as possible."
"Okay, Wanji."
"Cang Yuan, you have finished setting up the spirit gathering array, so follow Nan Xing to cultivate the Xirang!"
Cang Yuan nodded, and took the Chaos Spirit Pearl and Jiuluo Nanxing to the Xirang Cultivation Garden which had already been built.
Jiuluo Nanxing was once the young master of the flower world and was well versed in farming techniques, while Cangyuan was able to circulate the Chaos Spirit Pearl to absorb spiritual energy and provide a constant supply of spiritual power for the growth of the soil.
If the two of them work together, the Xirang will surely multiply rapidly until it covers the entire Fairyland.
Under the careful cultivation of Jiuluonanxing and Cangyuan, the black soil continued to expand and reproduce at an astonishing speed.
Whenever night falls, Cang Yuan will activate the Chaos Spirit Pearl to gather the surrounding spiritual energy and infuse it into the cultivation garden.
With the nourishment of spiritual energy, Xiran grew rapidly like bamboo shoots after spring rain, constantly splitting into new soil.
Jiuluo Nanxing carefully transplanted these new fertile soils to other lands, allowing them to take root and grow there.
After about a year's work, the land of the Fairy Continent underwent earth-shaking changes.
You will no longer see the desolate land full of sand and no grass. Instead, there are patches of fertile black soil, exuding vitality.
The lands that were first reclaimed had already been planted with corresponding varieties of spiritual plants according to the original plan.
Right now, those places are already covered with emerald green spiritual fields, lush spiritual plants, and spiritual fruits hanging from the branches, creating a prosperous scene.
One day, when the fairies were working in the fields, they suddenly discovered something vibrating underground.
Immediately afterwards, a giant beast emerged from the ground, letting out a deafening roar.
The demons and fairies were horrified and took up their weapons to be on guard.
"Senior Yunyouzi?!"
Li Wanji recognized the giant beast at once. It was the only living creature they encountered when they first arrived on the mainland many years ago - the giant beast Diyong Kui.
More than four hundred years ago, when she and Cang Yuan first set foot on the Fairyland, this wandering man gave them guidance, then drilled into the ground and never appeared again.
Now, his sudden appearance made Li Wanji feel both surprised and cordial.
"Senior Yunyouzi, why are you here?" Li Wanji walked forward and asked curiously.
