In the past ten or so days, the war had continued, but it had changed from the desperate fighting at the beginning to small-scale battles.

Although these demonic beasts were surrounded by the human army, it wasn’t easy for the human army to destroy them completely.

After all, there were many powerful Demon Kings among these demonic beasts.

!!

The current situation was equivalent to these demonic beasts occupying territory in the human world. The human race could only slowly encircle and suppress them.

As for whether it would succeed, it was still hard to say now.

“Your Excellency, why did you call us here?” Zhang Jiping of the Xuande Grotto-Heaven looked at Zhou Shu, forced a smile, and cupped his hands.

They only knew that the man in front of them was the master of the Treasure Distribution Rock. They knew nothing else.

“We haven’t thanked you yet. If not for you, we would have lost this war,” Zhang Jiping continued without waiting for Zhou Shu to speak. “If that had happened, we humans would have been trapped in the grotto-heavens again.”

Zhou Shu noticed that he used the word ‘again’. Could the human race have suffered defeat in the past?

Zhou Shu’s expression didn’t change as he said, “You’re welcome. I’m also a human. This is what I should do.

“I invited everyone here because I just received a piece of news that I want to share with you.”

Zhou Shu said calmly, “As far as I know, the reason why the demonic beasts of the Demon Realm are so fearless is mainly because of a mysterious Demon King. If we can destroy this Demon King, we might be able to change the situation.”

Zhou Shu didn’t hide anything and told everyone all the information he had obtained from Hu Li.

“So, it’s this news.” Zhang Jiping looked at Zhou Shu in surprise. “We know about this. Demonic beasts are lackeys of Heaven, and they all listen to the orders of heavenly slaves. The Demon King you mentioned should be the first heavenly slave.”

The first heavenly slave? Zhou Shu repeated in his heart, but his expression didn’t change. The leaders of these grotto-heavens indeed knew more than him.

Hu Li thought that he had discovered an impressive secret, but to these forces that had been passed down for more than ten thousand years, what he had found out wasn’t a big secret at all.

“Since you know, why don’t you just kill him?” Zhou Shu asked calmly.

“It’s not that easy.” Zhang Jiping shook his head. “There’s more than one heavenly slave. If we kill the first one, another will appear.

“Aren’t you from the grotto-heavens? You should know that we’ve carried out beheading operations before, but they all ended in failure.”

Zhang Jiping was very puzzled. The man in front of him had unfathomable cultivation, and his forging skills were also top-notch. But why had he never known of the existence of this person before?

Logically speaking, such a person must have come from some grotto-heaven. Furthermore, someone with such strength must have a high status in this grotto-heaven, so he should know about this.

Although he was a little puzzled, Zhang Jiping didn’t suspect Zhou Shu. After all, everything Zhou Shu had done before was for the sake of the human race.

No matter who he was or where he came from, he was definitely one of them.

“I see. I must have thought too simply.” Zhou Shu nodded. He knew that things wouldn’t be that simple. Otherwise, wouldn’t an existence like Wang Xuanyi have directly solved the problem?

“Your Excellency, may I know your name?” Zhang Jiping smiled.

“Nameless. Everyone can just call me Nameless,” he said indifferently.

“So, it’s Brother Nameless.” Zhang Jiping naturally knew that Zhou Shu was rejecting him. He clearly didn’t want to reveal his real name.

But he had the right to do so.

The shocking sword strike on the battlefield previously was enough to prove that his cultivation was on the same level as Zhang Jiping and the others. A person with such cultivation naturally had the right to be willful.

Zhang Jiping, Zheng Chengan, Tang Qianluo, and the others had no intention of questioning Zhou Shu.

Zhang Jiping continued, “Brother Nameless, you distributed many weapons on the battlefield earlier. Our grotto-heavens will reimburse you. You can rest assured about this.”

“It’s fine,” Zhou Shu said with a calm expression. “It doesn’t matter if you reimburse the forging materials—”

“How can that do?” Zhang Jiping raised his voice. “Brother Nameless, it’s not just your responsibility to resist demonic beasts. Our grotto-heavens are all duty-bound as well.

“Brother Nameless, our grotto-heavens will bear all the expenses. This is what we agreed on before. We can’t let you contribute your efforts and wealth alone, right?”

Zhang Jiping looked at everyone.

Everyone nodded. Even Tang Qianluo hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Zhou Shu’s only good impression of the various grotto-heavens came from this. They were indeed very serious about resisting demonic beasts, not sparing any effort regarding manpower and material resources. Although he didn’t know why they were doing this, it didn’t matter what they thought. Regardless of their intentions, what they did was what they did. The benefits to the human race were obvious to him.

After Zhang Jiping finished speaking with Zhou Shu, he suddenly looked at Ji Lutian. “Mr. Ji, how much time do we have?”

Zhou Shu was slightly stunned and puzzled. What does Zhang Jiping mean?

“At the minimum, three days. At the maximum, a month,” Ji Lutian said with a solemn expression.
