"Hope the Heavenly Demon clone succeeds!"
As the Heavenly Demon Weasel entered a state of meditation for advancement, Yu Zhibo vaguely sensed something, his eyes flickered, and he murmured softly in his heart.
Originally, the Demon Queen had a high tolerance for the Heavenly Demon Weasel, as the four nations of Demons, Devils, Ghosts, and Dragon Country maintained a delicate balance, giving her ample time to strategize.
It was precisely for this reason that the Demon Queen had let the Heavenly Demon Weasel go the previous two times it failed to enter the Demon Abyss to seize the Heart Demon's source.
But everything changed with Yu Zhibo's return.
Currently, in Dragon Country, besides the Dao Saint who could not act for the time being, there were two terrifying 99 Divine Tier powerhouses: Wang Shouyi and Yu Zhibo.
Wang Shouyi was a given, but Yu Zhibo, since his emergence, had always suppressed his peers, defeating them with overwhelming force. Now that he had reached level 99, even the Demon Queen was not confident she could defeat him.
Therefore, her desire to escape Earth became even more urgent. She had genuinely decided that if the Heavenly Demon Weasel failed to retrieve the Heart Demon Source this time, she would resort to possession, even at the cost of severely damaging her demonic foundation.
Thus, when communicating with the Heavenly Demon Weasel via encrypted call, Yu Zhibo instructed it to stop holding back and bring back the Heart Demon energy.
The purpose was for the Heavenly Demon Weasel and the Demon Queen to leave Earth together as Heart Demons, which would significantly reduce the pressure on Dragon Country.
This was a unanimous decision made after discussions between Wang Shouyi, Yu Zhibo, and many high-ranking officials of Dragon Country.
It was known that the kings of the Demon, Devil, and Ghost countries were all 99 Divine Tier powerhouses. Even if they were not stronger than him and Wang Shouyi, fighting them while also protecting Earth from destruction meant that he and Wang Shouyi could at most suppress two of them. The remaining one would undoubtedly be a huge variable, and in a mutually destructive fight, it could very well lead to Earth's destruction.
At this point, readers who have followed this book to this point might wonder: Aren't you going to ascend with the entire nation? What does Earth's destruction have to do with you? Why not transfer the population first and then kill all the kings of the Demon, Devil, and Ghost countries? Who cares if Earth is destroyed?
There is actually a reason.
Although there was a backup plan using the space created by Dao Saint Wang Taixu to bring all of Dragon Country's people to the Qingchu Continent, the Qingchu Continent was not entirely safe. The Liberation Sect was merely a corner of the Qingchu Continent, and its strength was limited. Abruptly transferring a large population there might attract the covetous eyes of upper-realm demons, potentially leading to the complete annihilation of all Dragon Country's people.
After all, the flesh and blood of over a billion humans would be a huge attraction to upper-realm demons.
Therefore, the nation's decision from the very beginning was to prioritize saving Earth and making it the cradle for nurturing talents for the Liberation Sect. Ascending with the entire nation was a plan to be activated only as a last resort.
As for the second reason for letting the Demon Queen go, it was to allow the Heavenly Demon Weasel clone and the Demon Queen to go to the upper realm in advance, giving the Heavenly Demon Weasel an opportunity to infiltrate the Demon race as a hidden hand. With him by the Demon Queen's side, he could settle accounts with her at any time, and if luck was on his side, he could even infiltrate the Demon race's inner circle, which might prove to be of great use in the future.
Currently, Dragon Country was enjoying peace and prosperity, but this was only a temporary peace. To achieve complete stability, the surrounding Demon, Devil, and Ghost countries had to be dealt with.
And now, they were waiting for the Heavenly Demon Weasel to retrieve the Heart Demon Source and leave Earth with the Demon Queen.
After some time, when Earth's spatial stability further improved, Wang Shouyi and Yu Zhibo would seize the opportunity to strike directly, heading to the Ghost Country and Demon Country to eliminate the Ghost King and Demon King.
That would be the true resolution of internal threats, and then they would focus on defending against the invasion of various demonic beasts from the Eternal Night World.
This would not be difficult for Dragon Country, with its surging number of awakened individuals.
"I wonder how the ninjas of the Dawn organization are doing..."
Yu Zhibo thought of the ninjas at the Dawn base. The clone sent to investigate had not yet returned, so it would be better for him to observe firsthand.
Just as he was about to use his sub-system's abilities to share vision with Uchiha Obito.
Abruptly, a stream of information flooded into his mind, causing his expression to falter slightly.
It was the clone sent to the Boundary Meridian Land that had dissipated and brought back the information.
After processing the news, Yu Zhibo wore a wry smile.
"I didn't expect the Golden Crow to leave the Boundary Meridian Land as well. Ten years from now... by then, Dragon Country's problems should have been long solved."
"And they even want to take me with them? Tsk tsk... the little fellow is quite loyal, but once we go to the Sun Star, who knows what the attitude of those Golden Crows will be towards humans? If I really agree, won't my life and death be in their hands? It seems I can only refuse."
Facing the little Golden Crow's suggestion to ascend together, Yu Zhibo pondered for a moment before directly refusing. Then, he sent out a clone to convey his decision to the little Golden Crow.
After that, he shared Uchiha Obito's perspective.
"Eight years have passed. I wonder if Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin have achieved their happily ever after?"
Thinking with some curiosity, the vision belonging to Uchiha Obito lit up in his mind.
What entered his ears was Obito's slightly nervous and shy voice:
"Rin... I'm going to take off my clothes... are you ready?"
"Mhm..."
"Hehe..."
"Obito..."
"Rin..."
"Mua~"
Yu Zhibo: "..."
Good heavens, a live broadcast?
Yu Zhibo was stunned, hesitating whether to watch.
After all, what man wouldn't be curious about the "hehe" moments of familiar anime characters?
But peeking like this felt too perverted.
"Bobo, what are you thinking? Why are you smiling like that?"
Beside him, Bai Chanyi's gentle voice entered his ears.
Yu Zhibo's heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to open his eyes, he suddenly found the vision in his mind covered by a radiant holy light, Obito's perspective replaced by a dazzling brilliance.
[Detected host pervertedly peeking at sub-system host's 'hehehe', activating holy light shield!]
[Friendly reminder: You are a married man, please do not fail your deeply loving wife.]
Yu Zhibo: "..."
Well, this system seems to be becoming more and more humanized.
Yu Zhibo controlled his thoughts, sweeping away all distractions, his eyes clear.
"It's nothing, I just saw some interesting scenes," Yu Zhibo said with a smile.
Steady, reliable, and as pleasant as a spring breeze.
He was instantly a different person.
"I have a feeling Bobo is thinking about something bad!" Bai Chanyi frowned and looked at him, then, as if thinking of something, her pretty face blushed.
Why are you blushing!
Yu Zhibo's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "I haven't paid attention to the Dawn organization's situation in a long time. Wife, please rest for a while, let me sense it."
Saying that, he closed his eyes again.
This time, he switched to Minato Namikaze's perspective.
As everyone knows, Minato Namikaze was a perfect man: strong, handsome, reliable, and gentle.
Hopefully, there wouldn't be any inappropriate scenes this time.
