Upon hearing this, the Emperor's expression slightly changed.
The people present, upon hearing this, also showed worried expressions.
If it were the first few years of the Demon Race invading the Fengwu Continent, when the Human Race's vitality was strong, boasting a vast territory and a wealth of resources, and with elites emerging in great numbers, perhaps they would have taken a defiant stance, saying, "Let's fight, who's afraid?"
But after two to three hundred years of war's ravaging, the Human Race was on the verge of collapse, unable to bear the burden.
At this time, if there was a chance to stop the war and recuperate with the Demon Race, it would be a blessing for the entire Human Race, and no one could refuse.
The desire for peace among the people surpassed any period, even if it was only temporary peace.
Even some thought that if they could stop the war, it wouldn't be unacceptable to give some compensation to the Demon Race.
