Chapter 6

"Good!"

"Seeing the text on the screen change, Zhao Si couldn't help but feel excited."

"Although it wasn't clear why the game insisted on making him exert himself in various ways on the demon race's order to slaughter humans—from the extreme of serving humans as a demon collaborator, to the more extreme of frenzied slaughter, to now memorializing the throne with advice—"

"But since it arranged things this way, it must intend for Zhao Si to save the humans' fate from being slaughtered."

"Now that the Heavenly Court has adopted his advice, it also signifies that things are developing in a good direction; with the Heavenly Court's retreat, the human race will surely……"

"Huh?!"

"Seeing the newly popped-up message, Zhao Si, who had originally relaxed, suddenly tensed up again, even unconsciously adding a bit more force to the hand stroking the fat cat's head, making the cat's head displeased."

"【In class, urinating, public copulation, fighting and brawling… really happen every day; helpless, the demon race teachers could only tighten control, wielding the iron rod and whip's might, which gradually made the unrestrained human students behave, but this is clearly not enough……】"

"【The Heavenly Court certainly won't openly state its position, after all the order to tolerate humans was issued by itself; to tolerate first and then draw up plans— isn't that slapping its own face? It's merely waiting.】"

"Zhao Si said helplessly to the phone."

"【Finally, the demon race students couldn't take it anymore; they urged their families to complain to the Heavenly Official, requesting that humans be gathered together for separate classes, so as not to disturb their normal studies— an inch of time is an inch of gold, an inch of gold cannot buy an inch of time; everyone didn't want their study time wasted by humans.】"

"【The myriad demons discussed this heatedly, but the Grand Purity Sage has always been indifferent to fame and profit, not caring about criticism; moreover, no one would dare to accuse the sage of being blind.】"

"【A: Go with the people's will, proactively memorialize the Heavenly Court admitting one's past mistakes, publicly defect, and advocate slaughter. B: Stick to one's views, claiming humans are the heaven's chosen protagonists, you lot don't know the heavenly numbers, truly courting destruction!】"

"【You chose (A: Go with the people's will, proactively memorialize the Heavenly Court admitting one's past mistakes, publicly defect, and advocate slaughter!)】"

"【You memorialized again, but the wording was contrary to before; the demon instructor looked it over and couldn't help shaking his head with a light laugh.】"

"【The Wu-Demon War is about to break out……】"

"【History ultimately still entered that road of endless mutual slaughter between the demon and human races; you seemed to have changed something, yet also seemed to have changed nothing; the chaotic aura from the Taiji Diagram wore away your entire Golden Flood Dragon clan, simply because after humans occupied the Heavenly Court and perused the documents, they found your memorial advocating the slaughter of humans in that vastness.】"

"【The Wu Clan rose in revolt as expected; the demon race's aversion to humans likewise left a mark in the Wu Clan's heart— it turns out the demon race can indeed ostracize an innocent human group just because they dislike them, being barbaric and backward, just as the Wu Clan is; the Wu Clan doesn't think humans have any fatal fault, they merely feel targeted.】"

"【Not long after, hundreds of millions of demon race students finally erupted, not only spontaneously boycotting humans but also collectively emulating the former 'East Sea Little Dragon', memorializing the Heavenly Court with a petition.】"

"【Exactly who struck first is now unverifiable, but there's no doubt that after the Heavenly Court formally ordered the slaughter, given the huge disparity in strength between the two sides, humans were no match; under spontaneous collective ostracism, humans quickly fell into the state of being shouted at by demons, and the seeds of vengeance began to take root in their hearts and sprout……】"

"But now, as the demon populace's bad impression of humans deepens, collective ostracism has become inevitable; if Di Jun issues another slaughter order this time, probably the whole Wasteland will applaud it, with no prior pity or hesitation……"

"Zhao Si gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, yet couldn't help but open a slit to look:"

"【When the news came out, the Wasteland erupted in uproar; after all, everyone had just disparaged humans' poor conduct, then turned around to see the highest sage accepting a human as a disciple— isn't that equivalent to everyone being personally slapped by the sage?! The sage would rather take a human as a disciple than a demon.】"

"【After all this, the Wasteland is filled with complaints about humans; a consensus of ostracizing humans gradually forms among the vast demon populace…… and this is exactly what Di Jun expects……】"

"【The sages protected the surviving humans, just as you recall; they strove to strengthen themselves, their foundations accumulating bit by bit; although life was difficult under the Wasteland's ostracism, they grew ever stronger, with more and more powerful individuals.】"

"Zhao Si: ……"

"【But even with public opinion like this, the Heavenly Court still remains unmoved……】"

"【As the edict was carried out, more and more humans were forcibly dragged into school education by the Heavenly Officials; at the same time, the human race, a young species less than a thousand years old, finally appeared for the first time before the demon masses.】"

"【Regarding humans, most demon folks actually never saw them at all— after all, humans are few, everyone merely heard they were barbaric and backward, never having truly witnessed them; but when humans really enrolled en masse, everyone discovered that the rumors were still too conservative……】"

"【Under heavenly law, no demon dares to kill without cause, but discriminating against a group often needs no bloodshed. Humans' food, demons want to seize; humans' drink, demons want to seize; when humans want to rest, there are even monster demons who have revealed their true beast forms strolling nearby, causing landslides and earth splits…… In this way, humans also couldn't bear it, feeling that in the vast Wasteland, everywhere seems to target them.】"

"Zhao Si, who had prepared to restart, couldn't help but be doubtful:"

"\"I've already kowtowed; logically, the Heavenly Court should just let me off the hook— are they still planning to give humans another chance? \""

"【On the contrary, the Heavenly Emperor issued an edict congratulating the sage on gaining an excellent disciple, sent a large batch of gifts, and also sent an innate spiritual treasure as a convenience to that sage's disciple for his duties, and happily said: 'If any subjects are the sage's personally transmitted disciple, I will treat them thus with grace.'】"

"The phone remained still, as if it deliberately wanted to watch him die twice."

"【You keenly sensed that something was off in this situation; thus, in this circumstance, you chose (?) 】"

"【The slaughter edict was not issued immediately; the Heavenly Court was unexpectedly tranquil.】"

"Strange."

"【An innate spiritual treasure?! Just by being taken as a disciple by a sage, one gets such treatment? Myriad demons are itching; the six sages' sanctuaries were immediately packed with a sea of demons, as various clans trying to become disciples came in an endless stream.】"

"【Whether time reverses, returning to life's choice?】"

"【Is the matter settled just like this?】"

"Chance? The answer is naturally negative."

"【You died; the wrong choice led to a bad ending, and you never truly found the fundamental contradiction between demons and humans— everything was just in vain……】"

"【The worst is the Jade Purity Sage, who openly declares that he won't accept demon folk with scales and horns, wet‑born egg‑laying, yet on the other hand he has taken in several human personally transmitted disciples…… Could it be that, in the sage's eyes, humans are not demons?】"

"Oh no!"

"Seeing the last passage, Zhao Si panicked— now even a fool could see that Di Jun never intended to give up the great slaughter of humans from start to finish."

"\"Let's first choose A, then see. \""

"【There is no text, no language, morality is completely gone.】"

"There's nothing to be done……"

"【And at this time, a piece of news somehow spread: the Grand Purity Sage accepted one disciple, bestowing the dharma name 'Xuandu', this person being of human origin!】"

"【Wherever humans are present, classroom quality is extremely poor; they horseplay and brawl in class, treating teachers and classmates as non‑entities, messing around until they occasionally start fighting— to humans this is emotional communication, but to everyone else it shows a lack of discipline.】"

"【Refuting the sage, naturally no one dares, but humans have suffered greatly; countless demons who failed to find a master began targeting humans, everyone already dissatisfied with humans' barbarism, and now the Jade Purity Sage openly discriminates against them— perfect for settling old and new grudges together!】"

"\"So can we skip this process and directly unlock the hidden top option, letting me write the strategy myself? \""

"Again two extreme options; if I'm not mistaken, both are dead ends."

"【But disappointing everyone, after Xuandu the Grand Purity Sage stopped taking disciples; the Upper Purity Sage accepts all comers, yet personally transmitted disciples are few and far between; the Two Western Sages are the same— nominal disciples are accepted freely, but personally transmitted ones are rare; the Nüwa Sage simply takes no disciples at all.】"

At this moment, everyone simultaneously thought of finding a scapegoat to vent, to take the blame for the human race's affairs; at this critical juncture, the "East Sea Little Dragon" who had been publicly praised by the demon master for the human race's affairs naturally became the target, with people constantly discussing how much benefit this little dragon had taken from the human race...

For a moment, Zhao Si fell silent.
