Wu Shattered Star River

Half a year had passed, and there weren't any significant changes in the Devil's Cave. Only a few hundred more interfaces had been captured, and quite a few Demon soldiers had died.

The Heavenly Court had already begun to gradually accept the elites of the Demon Race. The Jade Emperor was very generous, allocating dozens of small interfaces for the Demon elites to reside in.

However, the interfaces allocated by the Jade Emperor were quite interesting, located in the central and southern parts of the Heavenly Court, far away from the Demon Race's territory.

These interfaces were in the heart of the Heavenly Court, not far from the Celestial Immortal Court, essentially under the watchful eyes of the Heavenly Court's upper echelons. The Demon Race could only obediently act like dogs, and any actions would be easily crushed.

Currently, nearly a hundred million Demon Race members had been transferred over, and they were all from the younger generation with decent aptitudes. Judging from the Jade Emperor's intentions, he planned to accept several hundred million more Demon Race citizens.

In fact, there was considerable opposition to this matter within the Heavenly Court. The Demon Race and the Human Race were age-old enemies. How many Human Race members had died at the hands of the Demon Race during the War of Establishment and the subsequent major wars?

Now that the Demon Race was facing the danger of extinction, it would be good enough if the Human Race didn't stab them in the back. Not only were they helping the Demon Race, but they were also allocating dozens of Human Race interfaces to them?

This was incomprehensible to many, and many high-ranking officials were actually unhappy about it.

However, some high-ranking officials were very clear that the Jade Emperor was actually fishing. He deliberately accepted so many Demon Race members in order to lure one or two great demons from the Demon Race's side.

These hundreds of millions of Demon Race members were actually bargaining chips. The Jade Emperor wanted to use these hundreds of millions of Demon Race members to hold the Demon Race's upper echelons hostage.

Once the subsequent hundreds of millions of Demon Race members arrived, the Jade Emperor would likely offer a price, allowing one or two great demons from the Demon Race's side to come over so that he could control their souls.

If the Demon Race didn't agree, the Jade Emperor might kill all these hundreds of millions of Demon Race members...

The Jade Emperor felt threatened. The Azure Emperor's faction was now powerful, and he didn't feel safe sitting in that position. Therefore, he needed to unite more forces to ensure his imperial position.

Not to mention the Demon Race, if it could protect his position, the Jade Emperor might even compromise with his father's killer...

The God Race seemed to have similar ideas!

The God Race had recently accepted hundreds of millions of Demon Race citizens, and their purpose was likely also to lure one or two great demons over.

The Demon Race's grand edifice was about to collapse, and everyone wanted to take a bite of such a large piece of meat.

Being able to take down one or two great demons as henchmen was a very worthwhile deal. What was the matter with settling hundreds of millions of Demon Race members? What impact would giving some small interfaces have?

The Demon Race not only sent some citizens to the God Race and the Heavenly Court, but also secretly sent tens of millions of citizens to the Land of Eternal Night.

These citizens were led by several Demon Kings, bringing a large batch of resources to join the Pao Race, becoming the Pao Race's affiliated race.

The Land of Eternal Night was very resistant to the Demon Race, but the Pao Race strongly protected the Demon Race, using the resources provided by the Demon Race to distribute some benefits to various races, bribing some high-ranking officials, so the races barely didn't pursue the matter.

In addition, the Demon Race also sent their clansmen to various dangerous lands and secret realms for decentralized settlement, so the Demon Race was essentially taking root everywhere.

The Demon Race's strategy was to first survive, then slowly plan and gradually develop and grow.

This was also something that couldn't be helped. If the Heavenly Court was destroyed, the Human Race would do the same.

Only by surviving could there be hope for a resurgence. If most of the clansmen's elites were wiped out, there would be no hope for a resurgence forever. They could only become vassals of the great races for generations, like those small races, or even disappear into the river of history forever.

Zhang Xiongji and Zhang Wanning's wedding had been put on the agenda.

The Heavenly Court and the God Race jointly issued a notice, forming an alliance between the two races. Any force that dared to attack one side would be equivalent to declaring war on the other side.

Both sides attached great importance to the alliance, so Zhang Wanning and Zhang Xiongji's wedding was being prepared very grandly.

The Heavenly Court had built a luxurious palace for Zhang Xiongji alone in the thirty-second heaven, and had conferred Zhang Xiongji as a titled prince, named Divine Martial King, with a position equal to that of the Immortal Emperor, and had granted him a first-class Immortal Kingdom as his fief.

The person Zhang Xiongji was marrying was Miss Divine Snow of the God Race, who was also a descendant of the God Lord, a direct descendant.

An old woman of the God Emperor level from the God Race also came along to show their importance.

Zhang Xiongji had recently felt that he was capable again, and began to cultivate diligently every day, striving to restore his realm as soon as possible, and then find a way to break through to the Emperor level.

Zhang Wanning was filled with resentment. Although the Holy Mother of Yaochi had arranged for many people to follow her, the person she was marrying was still Divine Li, the number one young master of the God Race, and she still felt very uncomfortable.

She was the most outstanding young lady of the Human Race, the first of the younger generation to break through to the Emperor level. Why was she the one going to make a marriage alliance?

Why not other princesses?

Why not Fairy Nine Mysteries?

Why not other young ladies from powerful clans?

Most importantly, in the future, the God Race would only marry princesses over, but the Heavenly Court would no longer marry princesses over.

Wasn't it equivalent to sacrificing her alone?

She seriously suspected that Jiang Han was deliberately retaliating against her, but being born into an imperial family, she had no choice.

The Jade Emperor needed a marriage alliance, and the Jade Emperor even more hoped that she would marry over, rather than a young lady from the Azure Emperor's faction or a neutral faction.

She knew that the Jade Emperor needed allies and external aid to stabilize his imperial position. For the sake of the Jade Emperor, for the sake of the Zhang family, she could only marry into the God Race and live a lonely life there forever.

Zhang Wanning hated Jiang Han very much, but she envied Firefly very much.

They were both golden branches and jade leaves, but why were their treatments different? Firefly married the person she loved and gave birth to a lovely son.

Gathering thousands of favors in one body, she could live a comfortable and prosperous life in the Heavenly Court for the rest of her life...

Half a month later, Divine Tianlong led the team over, bringing Divine Li to greet the bride.

After the welcoming procession returned, Luqiu Yu would lead Zhang Xiongji to go together to welcome Divine Snow back.

Jiang Han had just come out of seclusion for half a month, and he spent every day with his wife and children, living a leisurely life. Jiang Henshui sent a message, asking Jiang Han to prepare to go to the Celestial Immortal Court to attend Zhang Wanning's wedding.

"I'm going too?"

Jiang Han touched his nose. Wouldn't Zhang Wanning hate him so much that she would gnash her teeth when she saw him? Jiang Han didn't want to attend such a boring banquet.

He sent a message to Jiang Henshui, asking if he could not go, saying that he was preparing to cultivate the fourth turn of the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique.

However, Jiang Henshui sent a message back, telling him that he must go. The Jade Emperor was marrying his granddaughter, and it was a major alliance event, so this occasion could not be missed.

It had to be justifiable on the surface. If Jiang Han didn't go, it would be too disrespectful to the Jade Emperor. Not only Jiang Han had to go, but Yan Qin, Si Li, and Firefly had to attend.

"Let's go, let's go to the feast!"

Jiang Han helplessly took Yan Qin, Si Li, and Firefly to the Celestial Immortal Court. Jiang Nian had become a big girl, so he took her to play too.

A group of people teleported to the Celestial Immortal Court and stayed in the Eastern Palace. The next day, they went to the Hall of Universal Brightness to attend the ceremony.

"Huh?"

Jiang Han and the others were sitting in the Hall of Universal Brightness. When the God Race's team entered, he discovered someone who surprised him.

Divine Yu actually came!

He thought about it and realized that Divine Yu seemed to be Divine Li's younger sister, so it was normal for her to come along to welcome the bride.

Moreover, this was probably the only chance in her life to enter the Hall of Universal Brightness, so it was good to come and broaden her horizons.

Divine Yu sensed Jiang Han's gaze, glanced over, and made eye contact with Jiang Han. They both nodded slightly and smiled faintly.

"Huh?"

Firefly noticed it, looked at Jiang Han suspiciously, and transmitted her voice: "Husband, do you know this young lady from the God Race? It feels... your relationship seems to be pretty good?"

Jiang Han quickly sat upright, looked straight ahead, and transmitted his voice: "That's not true. The God Race hates me to the bone. How could they have a good relationship with me? It's your illusion."
