There are too many flaws, making Zhao Si wear a strange expression.

First, it is the plan to exterminate humanity that Di Jun and the protagonist devised by hitting it off.

Di Jun's chosen method is not simply crudely dispatching a few Daluo or quasi-sages to cleanse the land, but rather utilizing the Demon Race's collective spontaneous consciousness to achieve the aim of excluding humans.

After all, the protagonist's Heaven's Mandate identity is genuine; anyone or any organization carrying out destructive measures against humanity will directly incur feedback at the Heavenly Dao level, and slaughtering humans is no less than, before the Heavenly Dao, killing its beloved son—a crime no one can bear, and even if a sage takes part, they will be stripped of their sagehood!

Nowadays, killing a person equals defying Heaven, and it is literally defying Heaven.

Therefore Di Jun dares not intervene directly, nor even indirectly assign assassins; he can only rely on the great momentum of the entire primordial wilderness Demon Race to act, and even if the Heavenly Dao is furious, it cannot possibly exterminate the entire primordial wilderness for humanity's sake.

Zhao Si racks his brains but can't figure it out; other things are easy to explain, but how to explain this?

"First, marriage isn't breeding; it's inherently a matter of mutual consent. If you don't like it, just don't marry—what's the problem? Why exaggerate the consequences, making it seem as if humanity is forcing all demons to breed with them?"

Secondly, it is the protagonist's cooperation.

This is the only method Di Jun can think of to kill the Heaven's Mandate protagonist!

As long as we eliminate the 'demon above demon,' then in the Heavenly Dao's eyes everyone remains equal, and other problems are not problems.

Upon careful thought, it seems not only the ancient version of Legend of the White Snake has this setting, but also The New Legend of Madame White Snake has it, and even in Zhao Wenzhuo's version of Green Snake, the child born to Madame White is human rather than a half-demon, leaving Fahai stunned……

"One can tell just by thinking: without mutual consent or forced mechanical divine matching, large-scale interbreeding is impossible; and if it is consensual, there's nothing to blame—surely one can't say free love is wrong?"

Legend of the White Snake?

That seems right; the setting of primordial wilderness fiction indeed draws partly from Legend of the White Snake, and many such works directly splice Legend of the White Snake into the primordial wilderness plot, applying its setting to the primordial wilderness—this is indeed not problematic.

"Not right!"

【Many commoners of the Human Race openly declared their separation from the Demon Race, from now on the Human Race shall become a racial concept on par with the Demon Race!】

Zhao Si quickly shook his head, freeing himself from extremist thought, for although this statement sounds reasonable at first glance, it is actually a deliberate exaggeration of the facts!

Humans raised in such an educational environment, what need is there to worry that they cannot regard myriad demons as mere weeds?

Human supremacism arose spontaneously, and with the Mandate of Heaven indeed belonging to them, it naturally gives birth to extreme racial consciousness:

Zhao Si couldn't help but ask about the phone.

【First came small-scale verbal clashes, then large-scale shouting matches filled with negative emotions; when things heated up, the Demon Race collectively expelled the Human Race from their demon registry, and since Humans originally felt little belonging to the vague collective consciousness of the Demon Race, when the argument reached a boiling point, they simply accepted it.】

Answer, he needs no other means; he only needs to deliberately report on the Human Race's conduct and image according to his pre-set direction, guiding it until opposing racial ideologies form:

One side extreme human supremacism!

One side extreme opposition to humanity!

Precisely because of this, there emerged those rumors and news with an extremely obvious bias:

For example, when a demon and a human intermarry, the result is a pure human offspring!

Another example, humans specifically toy with pure-hearted demon maidens, sweet-talking them before the act and pulling up their pants and leaving afterward, because they actually never regard demon women as their kind, and even treat mixed-blood offspring as aliens.

Below me, no one has rights; they can be disposed of at will, everything puts the Human Race first, because the Heavenly Dao certifies it—what could be more orthodox than this?

Over time, a race with an extreme craving for power, land, and status emerged, perfectly matching the stereotype……

"It must be that Di Jun has some other scheme! How can these demon masses fail to see it?"

【Ding! The setting of intermarriage between humans and demons in this version of the Wasteland originates from the orthodox ancient xianxia mythic love story 《The Legend of the White Snake》, in which the son of Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian, "Xu Shilin," is a pure human—a classic setting with no problem.】

Zhao Si: ……

If the human bloodline setting in this version of the Wasteland is like this, then the bloodline is indeed a bit overbearing—even Bai Suzhen, a thousand-year-old snake demon, cannot surpass mortal Xu Xian in bloodline!

In that case, it seems Di Jun's rumors are not wrong; if this continues, the demon race of the Wasteland indeed faces the possibility of annihilation and replacement……

This caused pure-hearted maidens to become pregnant out of wedlock and give birth to pure human children, thereafter being pointed at by their families, unable to show their faces in public……

The Human Race lacks its own language, writing, and culture? Then let's create one!

If the Human Race lacks the overbearing arrogance, then from childhood we will specially guide and cultivate them, telling them they are nobler and superior to demons, even the Heavenly Dao stamps its approval.

"So, why is the offspring of a human and a demon a pure human?"

To cooperate with Di Jun's promotion, Jin Bing needs to make the Human Race arrogant and strong, matching the stereotype Di Jun stamped upon them:

"Humans look down from above, despise lowly demons, and can even completely replace other demons……"

【But the Human Race, how can you just say you're leaving and leave?!】

If my expectation is not wrong, the tragic scene of mixed warfare and slaughter between the two races that Di Jun hopes for will soon be staged in the Wasteland:

【I don't know where it started, nor which side moved first; in any case, the dispute has begun……】

"What version of the Wasteland setting is this exactly?!"

Zhao Si finally broke free from Di Jun's logical trap and continued to examine the developments.

"And if it is a case of forced interracial breeding, shouldn't we first unite to resist the force that compels both sides to breed? What can internal slaughter solve?"

To that end, what underhanded measures does Di Jun need to employ?

After confirming the slaughter of humans, the protagonist Jin Bing will serve as the Heavenly Court's top mole among the Human Race, with the chieftain himself personally acting as the mole!

"If one side deceives or toys with the other's body and emotions, that ought to be an individual civil case, bound by the Heavenly Court's laws; why should unrelated parties jump in to extremistly oppose one side's race? Unless the heavenly law fails, but that is also a matter for the celestial judicial deity, unrelated to others."

【Upon the declaration's release, the Wasteland erupted in an uproar! After all, although the Demon Race's collective consciousness does not deeply penetrate every race's heart, they have nonetheless lived in peace under the Heavenly Court's advocacy for many eons, so they do retain some feelings; moreover, with the Heavenly Court's strong hand overhead, at most people mutter in private, but openly they dare not renounce the demon race.】

【Thus, the Human Race became the target, and all myriad demons united to condemn humanity—this was an unexpected delight for Di Jun; facing the Human Race as an open enemy, the myriad demons actually moved toward unity, which further strengthened Di Jun's resolve to slaughter humans……】
