Upon hearing Xia Fan's question, Lao Gui first sighed sadly, and then slowly explained.
"The emperor has a noble status, so naturally he doesn't know how difficult it is for little demons like us to survive."
"I think Emperor Zun has been in the ancient demon world for some time. He should know that our demon clan is self-interested and murderous in nature."
Hearing this, Xia Fan couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
Indeed, compared to the competition between the human race, the competition between the demon race is more naked.
They don't have as many complex thoughts as humans, and intrigues are never as straightforward as bloody fights.
Xia Fan had seen with his own eyes that even if the Blood Demon attacked the city, there were still a group of demon cultivators fighting to the death.
The old turtle continued with a sigh on his face.
"A little demon like me with no background or strength can only seek shelter under the guidance of a strong man."
"It's just that the demon clan is inherently ruthless, let alone whether we are relatives or friends, why would the big demon protect me?"
"So a little demon like me can only do some chores that the big demon sect members don't want to do in exchange for shelter."
"The spiritual energy in this lower realm is thin and the avenue is lacking. Generally, people from the real world are not willing to stay in the lower realm for too long, but they cannot lack people to guard it."
"Therefore, little demons like me who have taken refuge can only take care of this world to prevent chaos in this world from affecting the powerful people's deduction of the great road."
Lao Gui said a lot in one breath, and he probably had been holding it in his heart for a long time.
So after saying this, he breathed a long sigh of relief, picked up the tea cup and drank happily.
"Fortunately, my turtle clan has a long lifespan, so it's not a big deal to waste some time."
.....
Xia Fan silently watched the old turtle drink tea without urging him.
Although the two of them had no friendship, since Lao Gui was so cooperative with him, he didn't mind being a quiet listener for a while.
Lao Guihuang Yuanwu also knew that Xia Fan was waiting for him to continue to answer him, so he just sighed for a while, and then looked at Xia Fan gratefully.
"It would be great if we, the strong ones of the demon clan, could be so kind to the weak."
After silently praising Xia Fan in his heart, Huan Yuanwu reorganized his words.
"As for Emperor Zun's second question, let me tell you the truth. The promotion quota for the upper realm is not within the control of a little demon like me."
"Perhaps the emperor is not very clear about the situation in my ghost car demon world. In fact, the status of these people who have been promoted from the lower world is much higher than that of miscellaneous slaves and little demons like me."
"oh?"
Hearing Huan Yuanwu's words, Xia Fan was a little surprised, but also felt that it should be the case.
Seeing that Xia Fan was quite interested in this aspect, Huan Yuanwu also explained it in detail very sensibly.
"Although these promoted people are all born in the lower world and have some inherent deficiencies, the Emperor should also understand that those who can stand out from countless cultivators in a world must have extraordinary talents."
"After these people have experienced the transformation from virtual reality to reality, their biggest shortcomings have been basically made up, so even if they are placed in the upper realm, they can be regarded as number one geniuses."
"Although this kind of genius is not as often attracted by major forces as the local geniuses native to the upper world, major forces also like to recruit them."
"After all, there are so many powerful people in the upper realm. Naturally, they have long figured out how to make up for the inherent deficiencies of these promoted lower realm geniuses. It's just a matter of seeing if it's worth it."
Huan Yuanwu said, smiling bitterly at Xia Fan and spreading his hands.
"You can tell at a glance who is more important between a disciple with a clean background and excellent talent and an inexhaustible miscellaneous slave demon like me."
.....
After communicating with Huang Yuanwu for so long, Xia Fan had a rough understanding of the true demon world.
It was a world hundreds of times more powerful and cruel than the ancient demon world.
It's just that Xia Fan still has some questions that haven't been answered.
"If you go by what you said, the ancient demon world or all the ancient worlds are used by the top powerhouses to deduce the world created by the great road. It also has the function of selecting high-quality disciples."
"Then why does it take tens of billions of years for a quota to appear? What rules are this time set for?"
"You must know that in addition to the original demon gods who have successfully promoted to the upper world, there are actually a few people in their generation who are not much weaker than him. Why not give a few more places?"
Faced with Xia Fan's doubts, Huan Yuanwu showed a true expression.
To be honest, over the years, Xia Fan was not the only one to ask him this question.
"What the Emperor said is indeed reasonable. I thought so too back then."
"It's just that after dozens of battles for quotas, I have roughly guessed part of the reason."
"Of course, this is just the old man's guess. After all, the old man is just a small person, and his guess may not be accurate. Please make your own judgment, Emperor Zun."
Seeing Xia Fan nodded slightly, Huan Yuanwu spoke with emotion on his face.
"For the top experts who can create small worlds, it doesn't really matter whether they are one genius or ten geniuses. If you want to reach their level, it is not just about your talent that is useful."
"Furthermore, the true demon world is ten thousand times more vast than the ancient demon world. The top talents of the ancient demon world may not be able to find an invincible path in the real demon world."
Seeing Xia Fan hesitate to speak, Yuanwu suddenly knew what Xia Fan wanted to ask, and the next sentence solved Xia Fan's question.
"What I said above is just the reason why the real demon world doesn't give more places."
"And the reason why the real demon world has been screening the geniuses in the ancient demon world is also very simple, because it is for luck."
"Luck?"
Xia Fan frowned slightly, obviously aware that the luck in Huanyuanwu's mouth might be different from the luck he understood.
Huan Yuanwu nodded seriously and affirmed.
"That's right, it's luck."
"It's just that this luck is different from ordinary luck."
"oh?"
"what is the difference?"
Xia Fan vaguely felt that this thing was the root cause that influenced him to participate in this battle for quotas.
You must know that before this, Xia Fan had never thought of participating in this so-called competition for quotas.
Even signing an offensive and defensive alliance with leaders of various ethnic groups was a temporary act.
Looking back now, Xia Fan found that he had never had any idea of ​​collecting cultivation resources before.
But at that moment, his powerful spiritual sense seemed to sense some kind of guidance from somewhere, and he had such an idea in his mind.
Just like this moment, everything was unexpected and unexpected.
At this moment, Xia Fan suddenly woke up as if enlightened, and his mind suddenly began to consider many issues that he had never thought about before.
And all this only happens in an instant.
The next moment, Huan Yuanwu's words came slowly, and Xia Fan finally understood what he was sensing.
"Could it be that the Emperor has forgotten why this ancient demon world was born?"
