"It is precisely because he holds the righteous cause that the Ancient Demon Emperor Di Tian has a reason to ignite the anger in the hearts of the powerful of the Demon Clan, and thereby unify the Demon Clan of the Million Mountains. Under his call, countless strong individuals rallied around him, serving his command. Even exceptionally powerful beings like the Wolf Lord Ao Kuang, who once contended with the Ancient Demon Emperor Di Tian, could not go against him."

"These are the benefits brought by the banner of righteousness!"

"And the result is obvious. Out of the Thirty-six Domains, as many as fifteen domains have fallen. Even the twenty-one domains at the rear have suffered heavy losses. Fenghua Palace was breached, Seven Cave Mountain was destroyed, Dieyun Sect was brought low, and even a strong sect like Tiandu Sect visibly declined."

"These are just what we've seen with our own eyes. Other places might be even more tragic. Void Emperor Sect, Taishan Sect, Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, Hundred Beasts Sect, Mu Residence..."

"If you liken this war to a chess game..."

At this point, Luo Chen inexplicably thought of the Tianyuan Daoist Sect.

But it was just a fleeting thought.

He shook his head and continued eloquently.

"We, the myriad beings, are merely chess pieces, while the Divine Transformation beings of the Eastern Wilderness' Human and Demon Clans are the players."

"The outcomes of the matches between the pieces determine the victory or defeat of this war."

"However, if a player disregards the rules and takes action to eliminate some pieces, it will topple the board, and the other side naturally won't abide by the rules anymore."

"Do you think the Ancient Demon Emperor Di Tian could stand alone against the three ancestors of the Dark Abyss Sect?"

Fenghua Fairy furrowed her brows, "It's rumored that the Eastern Wasteland Demon Clan also has the Three Ancient Demons. They may not necessarily fear the three ancestors of the Dark Abyss Sect."

Luo Chen chuckled.

He had heard of the Three Ancient Demons of the Eastern Wasteland.

The most renowned among them is undoubtedly Ping Mountain Monarch Emperor Tian.

As for the other two, they are Qi Xia Emperor, the master of Cangwu Mountain, and a mysterious existence named Qinghe Immortal.

With the support of these two, alongside favorable timing and geography, Emperor Tian dared to initiate the war.

But as it stands, one of them seems to have fallen short in their support.

Qi Xia Emperor!

Thinking of this Great Power whose name he had heard countless times, Luo Chen's smile was somewhat forced.

Yet the heavy feeling in his heart did not affect his judgment of the situation.

"Eight out of the Nine Great Commanders have taken action."

"Only the Qing Shuang Demon Emperor representing the lineage of Cangwu Mountain, apart from saving the Thunder Prison Divine Roc originally, hasn't taken any substantive action."

"Is she truly fully supporting the Ancient Demon Emperor Di Tian?"

Faced with these rhetorical questions, Fenghua Fairy hesitated.

"Are you suggesting that the internal unity of the Demon Clan is not as solid as it appears?"

Luo Chen continued speaking persuasively, "At least for now, the support from Qi Xia Emperor's side for this war is lacking. Otherwise, once her subordinate Qing Shuang Demon Emperor joins the war, who can stop her? Is it the renowned Lei Daozi, or Tian Douzi, who wields the Twelve Duterrestrial God Evil Flag, or perhaps those dedicated cultivators within the Dark Abyss Sect?"

"As for Qinghe Immortal, having cultivated alone for thousands of years in the Million Mountains, he's not necessarily enthusiastic about vying for territory."

"So, in my view, Di Tian has been playing with the banner of righteousness all along, conducting a risky venture with the millennia-long accumulated legacy of the Million Mountains. Once he loses patience and acts personally, it signifies the beginning of the end of this war."

If the player puts themself into the game, they either achieve half-divine success or perish on the board.

Luo Chen is not optimistic about Di Tian, just as he has never been optimistic about this Human-Demon War.

The victors won't be those small sects like them, nor will it be the Demon Beast Clans, but only the Mingyuan Sacred Land!

The only unexpected factor might be Qi Xia Emperor, who could be the mastermind behind the destruction of the North Sea Primordial Demon.

After listening to Luo Chen's analysis, Fenghua Fairy stood there in a daze.

After a while, she looked at Luo Chen's profile with a complex expression, her tone wistful.

"What the future holds, I don't know, but Brother Luo, your high-level insights are not something an ordinary person could conclude."

"I have learned much from you today, Fenghua!"

The way one addresses another often reveals their attitude towards them.

Initially, she addressed Luo Chen as Friend Luo, out of politeness.

Later, she referred to him as a member of the Alchemy Sect, to respect his abilities in the Dao of Alchemy and to curry favor.

Now, she calls him "Brother Luo," akin to Jiuling Yuanjun and others, indicating a proactive closeness and an attempt to bridge the gap.

This transformation of their relationship had been ongoing for a long time, and it was only today, after Luo Chen's words, that he truly won her over.

Luo Chen smiled, feeling quite pleased.

In reality, it's not that Fenghua Fairy and her ilk are "foolish," but rather they were embroiled in the situation from the start, with their thinking constrained.

Luo Chen was also inside the situation then, but at the very beginning, he was outside!

Especially his travels through the North Sea and Zhongzhou allowed him to gain a comprehensive consideration of this largest-scale war in the Eastern Wilderness since ancient times, enabling him to draw so many conclusions.

But he is also acutely aware that he is not a Divine Transformation Great Power and cannot truly stand at that height to see the entire picture.

His thoughts may contain errors.

"Great Palace Master, you flatter me!"

Fenghua Fairy smoothed her messy hair, disheveled from days of rushing, her tone melancholy.

"My junior sister has died, leaving me as the only Nascent Soul True Master in Fenghua Palace. There is no longer any distinction of Great Palace Master or Second Palace Master. Just as you did earlier, Brother Luo, please call me Feng Hua."

Luo Chen opened his mouth, seeing the expression on her face that was so similar to his own from a few days ago.

He had no choice but to comfort her as he had comforted Tian Douzi before: "The foundation of Fenghua Palace still exists, and with promising talents like Feng Yue and Xia Lan, properly cultivated, it's not difficult for one or two more Nascent Soul True Masters to emerge."
