If it could be said that the rampages of the ferocious beast Taotie on the Western Continent were ignored by other innate races because they were none of their business, then with the emergence of the other three ferocious beasts, they could no longer afford to be indifferent.
After all, the other three ferocious beasts had already impacted their stable interests, and even the lives and deaths of their kin.
The process of releasing these three ferocious beasts was very sudden. The sealing locations of two of them were within the gathering places of a large number of medium-sized innate races.
Therefore, as soon as they emerged, they caused immense casualties. Not to mention the destruction caused by their subsequent retaliation and siege, which further enraged them. Some unfortunate innate races, particularly those situated near the emergence sites of the ferocious beasts, were even completely annihilated, which was not an unusual occurrence.
Such heavy losses could not be overlooked even by the patriarchs of the three most powerful races at present. To describe it, the originally tense situation between the three races had eased somewhat due to the rampages of these three ferocious beasts.
The Phoenix race focused on besieging the Taowu on the Southern Continent and had to resettle their affiliated races that had suffered disasters.
The Qilin race, while accepting their kin who had fled to the Central Continent, dealt with the Chaos raging on the Eastern Continent.
As for the fierce beast Qiongqi on the Northern Continent, it immediately clashed with the vassal races of the Dragon race. Before long, it ventured deep into the ocean and formally began to collide with the Dragon race, engaging in widespread slaughter. Therefore, naturally, the Dragon race was the one besieging the fierce beast Qiongqi.
In comparison, the Taotie on the Western Continent was currently the most at ease. The Xuanwu clan in the water veins of the Western Continent hid as much as possible, while the White Tiger Ancestor was worried about his two offspring in the Creation Holy Land. The God of Destruction would not possibly deal with his own creations.
Therefore, the Taotie was now rampaging across the entire Western Continent, eating wherever it went. Knowing that several offspring of the White Tiger clan had already died, the innate races there dared not confront the Taotie head-on. Anyway, the ferocious beast's main energy was focused on eating, and it was easy to escape if one wanted to. Thus, the innate races on the Western Continent generally fled as soon as they saw the Taotie from afar.
If you can't afford to provoke it, you hide, right? What else could you do?
You couldn't possibly charge forward to your death, could you?
They were not top-tier races like the Dragons, Phoenixes, and Qilins who valued their reputation so much. They were simply inferior and weak, and there was no need to feel ashamed about fleeing in advance.
At this time, the ancestors of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin races were all in seclusion. To be precise, they were all trying to break through by borrowing the destiny of their respective races. They believed that if they could break through before others, they would gain a significant advantage and quickly suppress the other two innate races, seizing a large portion of the world's destiny.
Then, they would use destiny to prove their Dao.
Although the innate gods and demons were almost wiped out, the method of proving Dao with destiny had been preserved. Combined with the Daoization of the Yin-Yang God and Demon, no one could guarantee that there was a problem with the method of proving Dao with destiny. Who knew if it was because he was severely injured in his previous battle with many gods and demons and rashly attempted to prove his Dao before recovering, thus failing to break through?
Most importantly, the ancestors of innate races like the Dragons, Phoenixes, and Qilins indeed felt that the destiny of their races provided them with a certain degree of improvement and assistance. The greater the amount, the greater the help. Whether this method of proving Dao with destiny could ultimately help them successfully prove their Dao was uncertain, but they were certain that it helped them at this time.
If everyone knew of this method and did not use it, falling behind in cultivation would be courting death.
Therefore, at this time, the ancestors of the three races were practicing the method of proving Dao with destiny, using the destiny of their races to cultivate and improve. Besides the fact that this was a method they clearly knew could lead to proving Dao.
To avoid falling behind and becoming vassal races.
Having to follow this path was also an important reason.
With the future uncertain and internal strife within the three races, they simply did not have enough time to forge a path to proving Dao independent of the method of proving Dao with destiny. They also did not dare to gamble on whether their own deduced new method of proving Dao was correct.
What if it was wrong?
It could very well lead to the annihilation of their entire race, or failure in the competition for world dominance, becoming vassals of other races.
In short, in practice, the path chosen by the ancestors of the three races at this time was less of their own volition and more of a choice made out of various compulsions, though they might not be aware of it.
Of course, these were digressions. At this time, the ancestors of the three races were all in seclusion, and it was a deep level of seclusion.
Therefore, it was very difficult for any race to encircle and suppress ferocious beasts whose strength was not inferior to that of the three ancestors. Furthermore, although the three ferocious beasts lacked intelligence, it did not mean they were foolish. When encountering encirclement that could endanger their lives, they would generally choose to escape decisively. Thus, after much effort, none of the three ferocious beasts died, while the major innate races suffered heavy losses.
While the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin races were not disgraced by this, they did lose face. In the end, some elders of the three races secretly contacted each other and decided to temporarily put aside their grievances and join forces to encircle and suppress the ferocious beasts.
Sometimes, things are like this. When there are no external threats, internal power struggles, and even bloody conflicts, it is quite normal. However, once an external threat appears, the three races, being all innate beings and whose conflicts were not yet irreconcilable, could faintly rekindle the alliance friendship from thousands of epochs ago.
They had joined forces to kill innate gods and demons in the past.
Now, with their respective patriarchs in seclusion, a temporary alliance to kill ferocious beasts was not a problem.
And this suited the God of Destruction's intentions.
After all, only when the three races joined forces would the direct bloodlines of the three races occasionally intermingle, making it convenient for some demons lurking within the three races to communicate, plant demonic seeds, and carry out sabotage and other schemes.
The more personnel there were, the stronger the overall strength.
However, the more personnel there were, the easier it was to fish in troubled waters and create seemingly minor conflicts.
These minor conflicts could easily be obscured by the four ferocious beasts they would later face together. But after a while, if one party to many conflicts died, and their races were different, the outcome would be hard to say.
Of course, these were just minor tactics.
There were many other methods.
...
Meanwhile, in the Creation Holy Land.
The more than a dozen Daoists who received the communication from the Daoist of Creation and were born similarly to him, meaning they were all beings who had reborn their spiritual intelligence and emerged from the residual bodies of dead innate gods and demons, soon rushed over, asking what major event had occurred.
Then, the Daoist of Creation first had the White Tiger Ancestor explain the relevant situation. After the White Tiger Ancestor finished, he then recounted the situation he had observed, including his own findings of impropriety and strangeness, to all the Daoists present.
He asked if any of the Daoists had any thoughts.
