Northern Black Tortoise Continent, in a Secret Location, all the Chiefs of powerful Demon Race Tribes were having a secret meeting. If anyone were to be aware of such a meeting, then they would be quite shocked.

For once, all the Chiefs attending were the leaders of Demon Tribes with Imperial Bloodline, meaning that they had cultivated Great Emperors throughout their history.

Of course this was not the real reason that other people would be surprised; the real reason being that all of these different tribes can actually exist peacefully with each other.

The image that the Demon Race Tribes projected to the outside world was the fact that they were constantly infighting between one another. As such, the idea that all Demon Tribes have deep and irreconcilable differences have been ingrained in the mind of all the other races of the Myriad Emperor World.

However, it seemed that things were not as simple as seen on the surface. The infighting was nothing but a facade that the Demon Race used in order to reduce their level of threat to the human race.

Back to the meeting; the reason that this meeting took place was because the upper echelons of the Demon Race received news of what happened in the True Dragon Inn.

After receiving the news, none of these Chiefs of different tribes acted out of anger or impetuousness. Unlike the young Demon Race cultivators, the upper echelons knew perfectly well the situation that the Demon Race was facing.

"Well, things went even worse than we expected," said the Chief of the Golden Roc Tribe.

"I did not expect that humans would react so intensely after such a little probe," replied the Chief of the Battle Ape Saint Tribe.

"In just one day, we lost more than five Saints," added the Chief of the Power Ant Tribe.

"The most sad thing is the fact that we cannot openly retaliate, otherwise the consequences would be even more dire," said the Chief of the Peacock Tribe, who was among the few women in this room.

"There is no need to complain to one another," suddenly said the Chief of the Black Tiger Tribe. "We have learned from our ancestors that the situation of our Demon Race will not change until we cultivate an Eternal Emperor of our own. And now, this generation, we finally have a chance."

"Yes, Project Innate Atavism has finally come to fruition after countless years of studying the secrets of bloodline," responded the Chief of the Golden Lion Tribe. She was a beautiful woman with black hair and golden eyes, but had a scar on her left eye.

Her tribe, along with the Black Tiger, Golden Roc, and Battle Ape Saint Tribes are the ones with the most power among all the Demon Tribes. They each cultivated three Great Emperors.

Unfortunately for these Demon Tribes, many of their Emperors were either killed or exiled by the [Human Preservation Array] after they tried to challenge the status quo of humans in the world.

As result of this, many of the backgrounds of the Demon Race have been missing. Whether it was Emperor Scriptures, Emperor Artifacts or Arrays, many of them were either destroyed by humans in an attempt to keep the Demon Race weak, or these Great Emperors never had the chance to leave these things behind.

The truth of the matter is that the lives of the Demon Race are actually quite dire. Although the Human Emperor did not want to exterminate them, unfortunately, the same thing could not be said for other Great Emperors that came after him.

Especially when it comes to sects like the Herd Raising Valley. All they want is to enslave all the Demon Race and raise them in captivity, or exterminate them completely. As a result of this, many Great Emperors of the human race, or even the Spirit Race have tried to eliminate all the Demon Tribes.

There are two reasons that the Demon Race can continue to exist through this day, albeit a bit miserable.

The first being that they have followed in human's footstep and created a [Demon Preservation Array] in the Northern Continent using the entire Qi Luck or destiny of the Demon Race. Every Great Emperors cultivated by the Demon Race would further strengthen this array--just like humans did for their own preservation array.

Another reason is that many Great Emperors of the Demon Race will attack the [Human Preservation Arra] after proving the Dao in an attempt to weaken the power of humans over the entire Myriad Emperor World. Unfortunately, they would either be killed by that array, or were exiled and prevented from ever returning back to the Myriad Emperor World.

What made things even worse for the Demon Race was the fact that due to the fact that humans hold 90% of Qi Luck of the entire Myriad Emperor World, Heavenly Dao has acknowledged them as the master of the world and is on their side when it comes to any dispute between other races.

"Now, all we have to do is to ensure that 'he' is not discovered by the humans until the time that the Heaven Will Battle arrives," added the Golden Lion Chieftess after taking a brief pause to reminisce about the current situation of their races.

"The only reason that humans can truly dominate the world is because they have cultivated Eternal Emperors like Emperor Qiyuan, the Sword Empress, the Absolute Beginning Emperor, and Empress Wu," said one of the Chief.

"As long as 'he' becomes an Eternal Emperor, then there is hope for our Demon Race. Hope to create an entire Era that belongs solely to us."

The room became quiet as all of the Chiefs started to imagine the bright
