Chapter 295: Demon God Envoy, 'Indulgent Love' Kills

The human race had just been born when it fell into a mire.

Nüwa's strong publicity is both an unprecedented boon for the human race—this listed company—and likewise being roasted over a fire.

A slight mistake will draw concentrated fire from competitors, suppressing its share price.

In response, the Wu Clan immediately activated its countermeasure.

The wisest batch of great witches sprang into action, personally taking the field!

To let human civilization develop, it must not be contaminated as soon as it is born, still a blank slate.

Of course.

Their plan was not to simply dispatch personnel from the Wu Clan headquarters to provide various manpower and technical assistance—whether considering cultivating the human race's independent development and indomitable spirit, or avoiding the Wu Clan's clamor of 'interfering in other civilizations'—none of it was appropriate.

But who made them beings of Great Luo caliber?

Blasting the trumpet……that's standard procedure!

Stay calm.

We must stay calm.

Thus, in the shortest time, a host of outstanding talents naturally emerged among the human race, relying on persuasive linguistic arts to mobilize manpower, combined with outstanding management and planning abilities; the human race's first hundred-year plan was formulated, beginning with a steady, low-key agricultural development path.

The newborn human race, overall, is simple and unsophisticated.

But those leading big brothers are no longer simple and honest; each is very astute, issuing various easy-to-understand orders and regulations, expounding the proper path of yin and yang of heaven and earth, forging the most primitive spiritual core of the tribe, and centripetal force.

Regarding civilization development, the technical problems of cultivation are actually easy to solve; they are not a major issue for the human race.

Relying on time to gradually accumulate, results will always be produced.

On the contrary, the spiritual domain must not be underestimated.

If not handled properly, even if one day the human race's overall strength reaches the pinnacle of heaven and earth, it will be merely a body without a soul, fundamentally unable to unite.

In name a united tribe, in fact a divided faction.

"We want the people to take pride in being human… as they grow, they can hold fast to their original aspirations through their own culture and civilization, not be dazzled by the flashy world."

"Believing that through one's own effort, splendid achievements can be attained, becoming a great spirit… rather than being spiritually dim and despondent, when facing other temporarily leading races, the knees go weak, thinking of kneeling down."

"Spiritual defense is of utmost importance."

"From now on we must cultivate correct values; that is the foundation of a strong tribe."

"As long as the foundation remains, even if the Wu Clan fails in this great calamity, our human race's future is not without a chance to turn things around."

"After all, with Nüwa's protection, no matter how tragic, the human race will have some bloodline continue, and someday debts of blood will be repaid!"

"But if our human race's performance is too poor, so weak that even Nüwa cannot bring it along, that cannot be blamed on her… cough, cough, she decided to cultivate the trumpet, letting the second child go online!"

In a mountain cave, the first-generation human race's Wise Man, Sage, and Cat are together.

Yunxiao, Youchao, Lilian, Haoying, Imperial Elder Brother, Lilu, Kuwei…

Besides considering livelihood, they proposed spiritual construction, to forge a strong and great tribe capable of withstanding all hardships and shining with the most splendid spiritual radiance.

Just that.

Their meeting hasn't even ended, they haven't yet decided how to build the human race's spiritual domain in accordance with local conditions and the times… but the test has already arrived.

Not those extraterrestrial heavenly demons that begin to guard and prepare, intending to suppress with home advantage, trying to open their bloody maws to profit.

But it is the envoy of the Heavenly Court!

The envoy, representing the Demon Race, comes to convey the will of the Demon Emperor.

There are two envoys.

One is called Wei, the other Erfu.

They say they come with goodwill and sincerity to help the human race's civilization develop.

The leaders of the human race exchanged glances, all feeling the portent of an approaching storm.

"Has an envoy from the Demon Race come?"

"Those who come are not kind, and the kind do not come—surely there is no good intent!"

"But we also cannot simply refuse to meet… after all, the envoy's banner is most righteous and proper, and moreover they are a truly venerable Great Luo."

"Moreover, Erfu's divine form closely resembles Nüwa's true appearance—human face, serpent body—one can tell at a glance that they once served her."

"Regardless, we still have to meet."

The human race's Wise Men consulted each other and finally confirmed the result.

Meet!

Although the two Demon Gods came side by side, likely harboring ulterior motives… but the human race's leaders are not timid.

After all, heaven knows, those who can sit here have behind them what kind of big shots, giants?

Personal safety is never a concern.

The only worry is whether the human race's development will be affected, influenced by the entirely new variable the Demon Race has shoved in.

Fact proved they guessed correctly.

The two Demon Gods—those who come are not kind.

Naturally, on the surface their tone from beginning to end is very courteous, without a hint of hostility.

But that, on the contrary, makes people feel even worse.

……

"Is this the human race?"

"Demon God Wei" sighed to several of the human race's Sages: "This environment for survival… is just too awful!"

"How can this be acceptable?"

"How can it be worthy of the human race's identity?"

From the moment they stepped through the gate of the human race, this Demon God has been sighing continually.

It made several human Sages so indignant they wanted to rip his mouth off.

But there was nothing they could do; they could never find a reason to act.

After all, this Demon God 'Wei' who oversees the Twenty-Eight Mansions has never blamed the human race for any fault or shortcoming.

Even, he actively sought to draw closer.

As everyone knows, Nüwa is the sovereign of the Heavenly Court, one of the four supreme sovereigns in the hearts of countless demons.

And the human race was also created by Nüwa.

If we pull relations, we are one family!

Holding this chip, the two envoys began their performance.

Human race, created by our Heavenly Court's Empress Nüwa……

The Demon God Fu Fu said to the human Sage Yun Xiao: 'Even strictly speaking, all postnatal beings in heaven and earth are related to Lady Nüwa and come from her hand.'

But the human race is the one Lady Nüwa poured the most heart and effort into…… You don't deny that, do you?

The Sages led by Yun Xiao all remained silent.

Since the Lady has put her heart into this…… and I have also roughly observed, the human race indeed has unique strengths.

The Demon God Fu Fu smacked his lips, 'When combined, they ought to be a high-ranking member of our demon race.'

They can be compared to the Golden Crow royal clan, should have exalted status, and be revered by all races.

They ought to enjoy the worship of countless demons…… rather than survive in such a crude environment.

It's truly a shame for their status!

How can demon royalty and nobility fall to the countryside, struggling to survive?

They don't even have a bit of refined spiritual enjoyment……

So then?" the human Sage Xi stood up, smiling and counter-asked, "Demon envoys…… what do you intend to convey?"

No other meaning…… just want to lead the human race to stride into a new civilizational era." Demon God Wei smiled faintly, "Considering the affinity between humans and demons, our Heavenly Court's supreme sovereign, Lord Di Jun, deeply pities the human race's helpless state at birth, and regrets that all human civilizational development must start from zero.

Thus, it was decided to provide humans with abundant cultivation-technical aid, sending personnel to help humans quickly raise their civilizational level……

So that humans can, in the shortest time, match the status of royalty and enjoy preferential treatment and reverence.

The purpose of the two Heavenly Court envoys, in short, is to help humans develop civilization.

Nüwa helping humans with advertising and promotion— isn't that exactly what they're scheming?

All the human Sages present felt the strongest resistance to the demons' 'good intentions'.

We cannot agree to them!" Xi expressed strong opposition in private.

This intention is too malicious…… it aims to destroy our human race!" You Chao, Da Ting, Li Lu, etc., also fumed.

The Heavenly Court, using the pretext of Lady Nüwa's affinity, comes to help us develop civilization…… I believe they will implement this civilizational development, but likewise will also transmit their demon race's values over!

If our human race had already developed and achieved some results in mental and ideological construction, that would be fine…… but now?

They absolutely cannot endure such torment!

This is to assimilate our human race in thought!

They lament that the demons' bloodless killing, sugar-coated bullet method is used too smoothly.

Without using weapons, without physically exterminating humans…… is there nothing we can do against humans?

They directly raised the banner 'All sentient beings of Honghuang are one family,' indicating they want to use advanced civilization to drive the development of backward races.

Furthermore, using the affinity originating from Empress Nüwa, they promised to let the vast human populace, in the shortest time, enjoy the good treatment that only top-tier powerful races can obtain.

That Heavenly Court will surely fulfill these promises.

They already have the Golden Crow race, Dragon race, Phoenix race…… adding one more human race is not much, lacking one human race is not little.

Moreover, the human race itself already has sufficient potential.

Even if we factor in saving face for Empress Nüwa, giving humans a little extra preference…… to the demon race's highest decision-makers, it's not a big deal.

Especially since this can be used to dismantle the foundation of the Wu Clan, dealing them a massive blow!

When the human race lacks sufficient capacity, they suddenly receive extremely high treatment, and even the Heavenly Court of the demon race will harbor ill intent, granting whatever material and spiritual enjoyment they desire, thereby wearing down their ambition and fighting spirit……

If they need do nothing to live well…… then what's the point of working? What's the point of striving?

In this way, their spirit will relax.

To destroy a person, or a group, the subtle yet quite effective method is to guide them down the path of pursuing desire and pleasure, and in the early stage grant their every wish. Then, when the later stage arrives, let them go completely astray, and then simply let go——

Then it can lead them onto the path of self-destruction.

Even if they do not self-destruct, the road ahead is cut off, and various calamitous roots entwine the marrow, making them hard to eradicate.

Using excessive 'indulgence' to harm is an invisible yet sharp blade.

'We absolutely cannot agree to…' Yun Xiao transmitted softly, 'If we agree now, the human race will truly be ruined.'

The suddenly elevated environment no longer cultivates the strongest fighting spirit in the harshest conditions…

When the flashy world confuses the eyes and soul, how much enduring spirit remains to strive down-to-earth?

Yes!

Other wise men nodded slightly in agreement.

If we merely sought a dominant status for humanity, agreeing would be fine… but we want everything, to become the sole supreme race!

This cannot be obtained through charity; it must be fought for!

The human race's wise men unified their thoughts.

When a race is just born, it needs food like speculative capital—there is investment but no system, capable of delicate chewing and slow swallowing for vigorous development.

Rather than the Demon Race's harmful conveyance, stuffed forcibly into the human body.

They rejected the will of the Heavenly Court conveyed by the Demon Race's emissaries.

Nothing to discuss?

Er Fu Demon God sighed regretfully, 'You don't even ask your own people before answering like this… isn't that a bit hasty?'

This is a very overbearing way of ruling!

As a member of the Demon Race… I feel sorrow for your people.

Oh? Hao Ying snorted, "Then we should praise your compassion?"

Er Fu chuckled, noncommittal, merely saying to himself, 'I personally believe that the people of the human race should be freer, more open, able to comprehend the world more fully… only then can they live up to Nüwa's creation and match their own status.'

Saying this, that demon god became enthusiastic, 'How about we, the Heavenly Court, help you connect the internet… the network designed by the Giant Fish-Bird Great Sage is quite good.'

Moreover, there are all kinds of games in it, which can greatly satisfy the spiritual needs of humanity, allowing relaxation after work.

This… forget it." Li Lu interjected softly, "I've heard a little about the games of the Little Fish Great Sage… 'With the wind, all seas are brothers; against the wind, in the wilds, hunt horses.'"

Considering that our human race venerates Lady Nüwa as the Holy Mother… considering her, it's really not appropriate to touch this.

……

Humans and demons, wise men and emissaries, you come and go, words turn into weapons, attacking each other.

The Demon Race wants to assimilate humanity.

Humanity wants independent development.

Both sides engage in covert struggle without cease.

Fortunately, the human race's wise men excel in defense, impeccable.

In the end, the Demon Race side could no longer tolerate it, criticizing humanity for being too closed off.

Humanity, in turn, strongly condemned the act of, despite being a different race, attempting to interfere in another's internal governance, which is truly an immoral behavior.

In response, the two demon god emissaries spoke, impassioned.

We do this because we respect every life…… Humans are born free, with the right to choose their own lives!

How can you block our spreading the light of freedom!

I now doubt whether you attained the leadership of humanity through unsavory means.

Our Demon Race will pay close attention to this!
