Primordial Ancient Serpent-Chapter 274: The Race With Backers Is the Strongest

"Boss, are we really seeking refuge with the Wood Race? Are you kidding me? Who doesn't know that the Wood Race is the weakest of the five major races and has no chance of becoming the overlord? So, we're actually planning to seek refuge with them?!"

A Chaos Demon God said in shock, unable to believe that his boss would want to join the Wood Race after previously defeating it.

"Yes, boss, you've completely lost it."

The Chaos Demon God next to him shook his head. "The Wood Race lacks strength and speed. They are completely stagnant, unable to move forward. The most crucial thing is that none of them are aggressive; they have no interest in being the overlord. They simply like to occupy a small piece of land, with no ambitions to become a dominant race."

The other Chaos Demon Gods couldn't help but nod in agreement. It was precisely for these reasons that most Chaos Demon Gods had no plans to seek refuge with the Wood Race. They had instead joined the Phoenix, Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise Clans.

On the other hand, no one had taken refuge with the Wood Race, and now, they foolishly decided to walk into this "fire pit." Didn't their boss want to get the Hongmeng Purple Qi?

"Stupid, there are too many Chaos Demon Gods who are already aligned with the Dragon, Phoenix, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise tribes. Even if we joined them, how much benefit could we really gain?"

The purple Chaos Demon God sneered.

"Even so, there's no need for us to seek refuge with the Wood Race. Isn't that just a safe bet?"

Many of the Chaos Demon Gods said helplessly.

"Heh, you guys don't understand anything. There's no absolute certainty. Do you think I'm just going to join any race?" The purple Chaos Demon God chuckled.

"Boss, what do you mean? Don't you have any backup plan?"

The curious Chaos Demon Gods asked. They knew their boss was someone who always planned ahead, and if he wasn't sure about something, he wouldn't act rashly.

"Of course I have a backup plan. If I didn't, would I dare to make such a plan?" The purple Chaos Demon God smiled slightly. "I'm sure you all know that there's a group of plant-type Demon Gods by the Lord of Chaos City's side."

"Yes, we know. The plant-type Demon Gods were originally weaker, but they were fortunate enough to gain favor with the city lord and rise rapidly."

Some Chaos Demon Gods felt both envy and frustration. "It's said that each of them is a Dao Demon God and has mastered at least a dozen Dao laws, making them incredibly powerful. Especially Chen Xi, the leader of the plant-type Demon Gods, whose body is the World Tree and who has mastered the 108 Dao."

At this moment, countless plant-type Demon Gods gathered around them. They had seized the opportunity to occupy many large worlds and gathered a great deal of Hongmeng Purple Qi.

"If they didn't only want plant-type Demon Gods, so many Chaos Demon Gods would have joined them by now."

The Demon Gods sighed in admiration.

"Imagine if we had joined that group; we would've already obtained the Hongmeng Purple Qi, and we wouldn't have had to waste so much time and effort calculating every little thing. This is the advantage of having a backer – it's like a shortcut to the top."

"But boss, why are you mentioning this?" A Chaos Demon God next to him asked.

"This matter involves the Lord World Tree. It's said to be known as the ancestor of all plants, possessing earth-shattering power, with branches that span the sky, and a great affection for plant creatures," the purple Chaos Demon God smiled slightly. "Think about it. If the Lord World Tree knew that the Wood Race in the Prehistoric World was being beaten severely by other races, do you think it would help?"

"This!" A group of Chaos Demon Gods' eyes lit up upon hearing this.

"But boss, didn't you say that gods aren't allowed to enter the Prehistoric World? Although the Lord World Tree is powerful, it can't defy the City Lord of Chaos' orders."

One of the Chaos Demon Gods questioned.

"Stupid! Just because they can't enter the Prehistoric World doesn't mean they have no other means. For someone at that level, if they want to help a race, they don't need to intervene directly themselves."

The purple Chaos Demon God sneered.

"That's right, our vision has been too narrow. We don't even understand how terrifying someone with such great power can be."

"But boss, what if the Lord World Tree doesn't know what happened to the Wood Race?"

"That's true. The Prehistoric World has been sealed by the City Lord, so it's hard for news to spread."

"And since our identities must remain hidden, if we reveal ourselves, we might face punishment," the Chaos Demon Gods spoke among themselves.

"Heh, I've already thought of everything. I have mastered a sacrificial technique. As long as I offer enough items, I can communicate with the Lord World Tree," the purple Chaos Demon God chuckled. "When the time comes, I will teach this technique to the patriarch of the Wood Race. In a critical moment, they will definitely use it to contact the Lord World Tree. You can imagine what will happen then."

"My God, boss, you're so insidious."

"Even the gods are part of your plans. What terrifying wisdom."

"This is practically cheating. No matter how powerful other races are, they can't compare with the backing of gods."

"It's done, it's done now. The other four major races have no real backers. Even if they have monstrous supernatural powers, they can't match us."

"The Dragon has many, the Black Tortoise has strong defense, the Phoenix has thick blood, and the White Tiger has high attack, but it's all useless. This world still depends on the background. No matter how powerful you are, if your background is weak, you will fall."

Many Chaos Demon Gods laughed excitedly as they quickly set off toward the Wood Race's territory.

Just as they departed, a figure emerged from the void. It was Immortal Yang Mei, and his body was a hollow willow.

"Interesting, these reckless fools are daring to plot against the gods. If the gods find out and get angry, a single thought could turn them to ashes. They'll die even if they obtain the Dao."

Great Immortal Yang Mei shook his head. "But this has nothing to do with me. I can just use their scheming to fish in troubled waters and get the Hongmeng Purple Qi."

"Too bad I can't earn the favor of the Lord World Tree, and thus can't obtain the Hongmeng Purple Qi."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't need to venture into the Prehistoric World."

Though he too was a plant-type Demon God, he was male, and the Lord World Tree didn't care for him. Moreover, he was a hollow willow, skilled in calculating, with many schemes, which made him even less favored by other plant-type Demon Gods.

But this was his nature, and he couldn't change it.

After all, before the City Lord of Chaos appeared, the Chaos World was incredibly dangerous. If the plant-type Demon Gods had no ambitions, they would've been devoured by other Chaos Demon Gods long ago.

Not all plant-type Demon Gods were as lucky as the World Tree, who received the protection of a great supernatural being and could live carefree until now.

To survive, Immortal Yang Mei had to calculate everything, constantly scheming. It had become second nature to him.

"Even if the Lord World Tree doesn't favor me, I still want to gain the Dao. Only by attaining the Dao can I truly control my own life. If I don't become a saint, I'll be nothing more than an ant."

Immortal Yang Mei's eyes gleamed with cold determination.
