<h4>Chapter 445: Alliance Strategy</h4>
For humanity to rise in the future, standing in opposition to all the demon and nymph races was impossible. Humans were too weak, and most importantly, theycked their own inheritance, relying on the Demonic God Transformation to gain some abilities. Trying to rise among many powerful races and gain their own space was a foolish dream. But if others, especially strong ones, supported them, it would be much easier.
This was indeed a path forward! In fact, it aligned with what the Redemption Society had always wanted to do, precisely the n that led to Mei Gongzi seeking to inherit the throne of the Peacock Demons. Undoubtedly, Mei Gongzi''s bid to be the n leader of the Peacock Demon n was tough. Although she had gained the recognition of the Peacock Great Demon King, she would still face numerous challenges in gaining eptance from the entire n and the Ancestral Court.
But the Lion-Tiger n was different! The Lion-Tiger n was rted to both the lion and the tiger races. Although they faced rejection from both races, the fact that neither the lion nor the tiger races had exterminated them showed that blood was thicker than water. If the Lion-Tiger n could prove that their "halfblood" people were superior to lions and tigers, they might be able to turn things around. This would be something the Ancestral Court would not reject. It might even be easier than Mei Gongzi''s efforts with the Peacock Demon n. After all, the Lion-Tiger Sword Saint was a pureblood demon, and he was incredibly strong at that.
Seeing his master clearly entertaining the idea, Tang San quickly said, "Let''s take it one step at a time and adapt as we go. The best-case scenario is what we''ve imagined, but even if it doesn''t work out, we''ll still have the friendship of the Lion-Tiger n."
Tang San didn''t worry at all about whether the future friendship with the Lion-Tiger n wouldst. Without him, the Lion-Tiger n wouldn''t be able to resolve their bloodline conflict within even a few centuries, much less a few weeks. The bloodline conflict would naturally fade as they reproduced and the mingling bloodlines reached stability, but that was many generations in the future. If they wanted to do it now and ensure their survival, they needed Tang San''s help. This kind of rtionship was rooted in the deepest biological need—the need to survive, and if anyone wanted to harm Tang San, the Lion-Tiger n would absolutely stand in his defense at all costs.
Zhang Haoxuan nodded and said, "So that’s what you had in mind when you bid for the God-ying Sword. Beautiful, I have to say! If this seeds, I''ll report your achievements to the organization. Tang San, I''m really starting to see hope in you."
Tang San said, "Don''t say that. As humans, it''s our duty. These are things we should and must do. We''re just working in this direction. And speaking of that, there''s another n that we might possibly win over."
"Oh?" Zhang Haoxuan perked up. "Another one? Which n? Even if it''s a small n, we should try. Every little bit helps."
Tang San nodded. "It''s a small n; they are almost on the brink of extinction, which in fact is also our opportunity. This n is rted to the eldest senior brother."
"Rted to me?" Wu Bingji pointed at himself, looking puzzled.
Tang San nodded to him and then turned back to Zhang Haoxuan. "Master, do you remember the Throne of Frost at the end of the rare items auction? Later, the Ice Maiden n leader canceled the auction and left with the Throne of Frost."
Zhang Haoxuan nodded. "Of course, I remember."
Tang San said, "Well, the Ice Maiden n leader''s name is Huang Bingbing, and she''s waiting in my room right now."
He then briefly recounted his conversation with the Ice Maiden n leader, detailing the plight faced by the Ice Maiden n.
The fact that he originated from the Ice Maiden n was something Wu Bingji himself was not aware of. He knew that he had inherited his bloodline from a nymph with the ice attribute, but he actually had no idea about his own parents. Hearing Tang San''s exnation, he realized that it wasn''t his father who was a nymph as per usual, but his mother who was an Ice Maiden.
This revtion made his expression turn strange. All along, he had harbored hatred for the demons and nymphs, like other humans, because of themon issue of their mothers being vited. But now, it seemed that his case wasn''t that tragic.
When the Redemption Society found Wu Bingji, he was an orphan who had naturally awakened control of the ice element. He was an outstanding talent among the younger generation. He waster sent to Redemption Academy in Kali City, where he grew up under the care of the teachers and became a disciple of Guan Longjiang. He never delved deeply into his background, just like everyone else, because they were all orphans and mostly tragic figures.
But after hearing Tang San''s story today, Wu Bingji realized that he was in factpletely different from the others. This was a shocking revtion and gave him a strong urge to uncover the mystery of his origins.
Sensing his senior brother''s rapid breathing, Tang San said, "n Leader Huang Bingbing is still waiting in my room, hoping to see if you really have inherited the Ice Maiden bloodline. And if you want to advance your cultivation further in the future, it will depend on the Ice Maiden n. If we can get the Ice Maiden n to agree to intermarry with humans to produce offspring, this n will undoubtedly stand with us. n Leader Huang Bingbing mentioned that although the Ice Maiden n is weak, they still have over twenty members at or above the tenth order. This is a formidable force."
Tang San exined his thoughts clearly. Wu Bingji''s expression wasplex, but Zhang Haoxuan''s excitement grew. Upon hearing that there were over twenty god-level Ice Maidens, he clenched his fists in exhration. If humans could assimte such a n, it would immensely benefit humanity.
This was different from the Lion-Tiger n. Even if the Lion-Tiger n recognized humans as allies, intermarriage with humans would be impossible. Humans might gain their support, but not much else. However, the Ice Maiden n was another matter altogether. If they agreed to intermarry with humans, it would mean that humans could legitimately inherit the Ice Maiden n''s bloodline and possess the Ice Nymph Transformation.
In other words, women did not have to sacrifice themselves and procreate with other races to produce offspring with a Demonic God Transformation. This was a game-changing development! In Zhang Haoxuan''s mind, winning over the Ice Maidens that had a simr physical structure to humans was even more important than the Lion-Tiger n.
"Hurry, hurry, don''t keep the n leader waiting. If you need me to participate, I can join as well," Zhang Haoxuan said eagerly.
"You can''t go!" a somewhat anxious voice suddenly called out. Everyone turned in surprise to see Cheng Zicheng standing up quickly, grabbing Wu Bingji''s arm.
Feeling everyone''s curious gazes, Cheng Zicheng''s face turned bright red. But she still looked at Wu Bingji and said, "You can''t go, eldest brother. I won''t let you go!"
Tang San, ever perceptive, immediately understood what Cheng Zicheng was worried about. He felt a pang of regret for overlooking his senior sister''s feelings. He quickly exined, "Don''t worry, senior sister. I''m asking senior brother Wu to go because he has to prove to the Ice Maiden n leader that the offspring of humans and the Ice Maiden n can inherit the bloodline and be very powerful. It''s not to arrange a marriage. Rest assured, if the Ice Maiden n wants to intermarry in the future, the Redemption Society has plenty of candidates. It won''t be the eldest senior brother."
Cheng Zicheng turned her head away and said, "Marriage alliances have nothing to do with me!"
