Northern Continent:
Ao Shen returned to the demon tribe and began to establish how they would deal with the upcoming changes in the world. Their approach was not much different from the Emperor Enlightened Academy, with a few changes.
The demon race does not have many talented geniuses, so they hoped to recruit from outside- specifically, from other World Communities. The need for more talent provided Ao Shen with an opportunity he's been waiting for.
For a while now, he wanted to increase the status of the "beast" race, who are demons with weak bloodlines since they were animals who gained wisdom and began to cultivate.
He recently realized these demon race members had a higher average understanding than the demon race as a whole. This was a trait they had to develop since they could not rely too much on their bloodline. As such, Ao Shen believed they were the perfect talent pool to cultivate professions.
