Chapter 54: Planning the Human Race, initial clues appear

After everyone left, Di Jun rubbed his temples. To be honest, if Fuxi hadn't reminded him just now, he would have really agreed to Taiyi's plan and directly led the army to encircle and suppress them.

Fortunately, Fuxi reminded him at the last moment; otherwise, what they would be facing now would probably be Lady Nüwa's anger.

"Should I go and ask Lady Nüwa about her attitude?" Di Jun muttered to himself.

After all, Lady Nüwa had never cared about them since she became a Saint. They had always been mixed with the Wu Clan, and Lady Nüwa was the Saint of the Demon Race. She should stand on their side, right?

In fact, Di Jun couldn't grasp Lady Nüwa's meaning, because since Lady Nüwa became a Saint, she had never cared about the Human Race and had gradually distanced herself from the Demon Race. If Fuxi hadn't been in the Demon Court, she probably wouldn't have looked at the Demon Race more than once.

"Regardless, I'll go find Lady Nüwa to probe her tone. What if she doesn't care?" Di Jun said to himself.

"By the way, I also have to go and tell the Taiqing Saint to see what kind of suggestion the Taiqing Saint can give."

Just as Di Jun was thinking, Yue Chan and Yue Tu walked over from the back hall of Yaochi. Their abdomens were bulging, clearly pregnant. It's just that I don't know how many little Golden Crows they can give birth to.

"Husband!"

"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to rest well?" Di Jun walked over and supported them after seeing Yue Chan and Yue Tu.

"We just heard about the Human Race, and we thought Husband must be having a hard time making a decision, so we wanted to come and see Husband." Yue Tu said with a smile.

"Just leave this matter to this Emperor to handle. You don't need to worry about it." Di Jun said with a smile.

"Husband, the concubine has a plan. This plan will not make the Saint suspicious, but it is estimated that it can only be used once." Yue Chan looked at Di Jun and said.

"Yue Chan, what plan do you have?" Di Jun asked curiously.

"Poison!"

"Poison?"

"Yes, we can use poison. Of course, we can't use that kind of poison that kills on contact with blood. We can use what the Human Race calls an epidemic. After all, such things have happened in the Human Race. We can artificially create large-scale epidemics and then harvest the corpses and souls of the Human Race." Yue Chan said her plan.

"The success rate of this plan should be very high." Di Jun thought about it and said.

"Besides epidemics, we can also secretly create extreme environments, floods, droughts, etc.! Don't these difficulties face the Human Race in the Primordial World? We are just adding a little fire." Yue Chan said with a smile.

"Hahaha, worthy of being this Emperor's virtuous helper!" Di Jun was enlightened after hearing this.

Yes, we can make a fuss about the difficulties the Human Race is currently facing. In this way, it will be unknown to anyone.

After chatting with Yue Chan and Yue Tu for a while, he finally couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and after telling them, he arrived at the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

"Taiyi, call everyone over. I have thought of a way." Di Jun said to Taiyi.

"Really?" Taiyi asked in surprise.

"Go, call everyone over." Di Jun nodded.

"Good!" Taiyi nodded.

Soon, everyone gathered together again.

"Demon Emperor! You already have a plan?" Fuxi asked, looking at the Demon Emperor.

"That's right! This Emperor already has a plan to hunt and kill the Human Race!" Di Jun nodded.

Subsequently, Di Jun told everyone the plan Yue Chan had mentioned.

"Good! This plan is good!" Taiyi clapped his hands repeatedly after hearing it.

If they implemented it according to Di Jun's plan, they would be able to gather the flesh and souls needed to refine the Witch-Slaughtering Sword in at most a thousand years.

"Not appropriate!" Baize shook his head after thinking about it.

"Why?" Di Jun frowned.

"This method still has some loopholes." Baize looked at everyone and said.

"This method is already perfect. What loopholes are there?" Taiyi was a bit puzzled.

"Demon Emperor, Lord, is this method only aimed at the Human Race?" Baize asked.

"Indeed!"

"May I ask Demon Emperor, what is the strength of the Human Race now?" Baize asked.

"Compared to my Demon Race, it is naturally vulnerable." Di Jun looked disdainful.

"Demon Emperor, the strength of the Human Race is indeed vulnerable, but races weaker than the Human Race still exist in the Primordial World, and they exist within the sphere of influence of the Human Race. If this epidemic is only aimed at the Human Race, it will be easily discovered." Baize analyzed, looking at everyone.

"But this will cause a lot of killing karma, and my Demon Race will bear karma for this!" Fuxi said with worry.

"Is there no killing karma in what we are planning now?" Baize said, looking at Fuxi.

Fuxi opened his mouth, but didn't say a word in the end. Yes! What they were planning now was killing karma itself. Since that's the case, what's the difference?

"By the way, I feel that this matter should still be told to Lady Nüwa; otherwise, it might be very troublesome later." Di Jun thought about it and said again.

"Big Brother, what if Lady Nüwa doesn't agree?" Taiyi asked anxiously after hearing that Di Jun was going to tell Lady Nüwa.

"This Emperor will also tell the Taiqing Saint. If Lady Nüwa doesn't agree, the Taiqing Saint should help us stop Lady Nüwa. After all, if our Demon Race's strength becomes stronger, the Taiqing Saint is also a vested interest."

"If that's the case, we can tell Lady Nüwa. Although this will have the suspicion of offending Lady Nüwa, as long as we don't exterminate the Human Race, and even after we destroy the Wu Clan, we can also go to the Human Race to make friends and intermarry. By then, the Human Race will still be able to develop, after all, the Human Race Saint Mother is also our Demon Race Saint." Baize said after thinking about it.

This matter would definitely not be hidden in the end, so telling Lady Nüwa in advance is also good. Even if she stops it now, she will understand the Demon Race in the future, because after the Demon Race becomes the hegemon of the Primordial World, the Human Race will become the first major race under the Demon Race.

"Good, then let's act separately. Emperor of Xi, Baize, you two gather the races in the Demon Race that are good at creating epidemics and let them start researching how to spread epidemics. Taiyi, you and this Emperor go to Tanggu first, and then go to the Wa Palace." Di Jun began to distribute the work.

As for Kunpeng, he should honestly be the Demon Master of the Demon Race. Since the matter of encircling and suppressing Hongyun ended, the relationship between the Demon Master and the Demon Race had had cracks. If it weren't for his primordial spirit origin still being on the Demon-Summoning Banner, Kunpeng would have probably rebelled against the Demon Court long ago.

"We have come to pay respects to the Taiqing Saint! Please report it." Arriving in front of the Eight Views Palace in Tanggu, Di Jun said to the boy guarding the gate.

"Lord Demon Emperor, my Master is still refining pills. You probably have to wait a few days. This furnace of pills will be out in these two days." The boy guarding the gate looked at Di Jun apologetically.

"Is it the Nine-Turn Golden Pill?" Taiyi asked hurriedly.

"Exactly! My Master has already refined the ninth furnace of pills. My Master explained before refining the pills that this is the last furnace and no one is allowed to disturb him." The boy said again.

"Good, then this Emperor will wait here for a few days." Di Jun nodded, and Taiyi also looked obedient.

The reason they were like this was because Laozi had said before that when the Demon Race and the Wu Clan went to war, he would refine a furnace of Nine-Turn Golden Pills to increase a few Da Luo Golden Immortals for the Demon Race. It seems this is not a few, but hundreds or even thousands of Da Luo Golden Immortals.

Now, let alone letting Di Jun wait for a few days, even if it were a few hundred years, he would wait. After all, that's a thousand Da Luo Golden Immortals. A thousand Da Luo Golden Immortals, even in the Demon Race, are a force that cannot be underestimated.

Three days later, Laozi finished refining the pills, and Di Jun and Taiyi finally saw Laozi.

"Taiqing Saint, this Emperor has something to discuss with the Taiqing Saint." Di Jun said.

"What is it?"

"About the Human Race."

Subsequently, Di Jun told Laozi everything about how the flesh and blood of the Human Race could improve the strength of the Demon Race, how the flesh and blood souls of the Human Race could refine weapons, and how the weapons refined could break the physical defense of the Wu Clan.

"Is this true?" Laozi's brow furrowed slightly after hearing this.

"True! We have already verified it." Taiyi nodded.

"You come to this poor Daoist, do you want this poor Daoist to help you stop Junior Sister Nüwa?" Laozi asked.

"There is such an intention, but this Emperor will go to discuss it with Lady Nüwa personally. If Lady Nüwa doesn't agree, then we might need the Taiqing Saint to help." Di Jun bowed to Laozi.

"No problem." Laozi nodded.

"Saint, do you feel there are any loopholes in this plan of ours? Why don't you help perfect it?" Taiyi suddenly said.

Di Jun looked at Taiyi in surprise. Is this still my silly brother? He has opened up! He can actually say such things.

"This poor Daoist will only say one thing: the Human Race should not be destroyed, and you had better not go too far; otherwise, this poor Daoist cannot stop Junior Sister Nüwa." Laozi did not give them any advice, just said this sentence.

"Many thanks for the Saint's reminder." Di Jun bowed to Laozi, and then took Taiyi and left.

"Sigh!" After Di Jun and Taiyi left, Laozi sighed, a hint of relief in his eyes, but at the same time, more helplessness.

Arriving at the Wa Palace, under the guidance of Ling Zhuzi, Di Jun and Taiyi saw Lady Nüwa.

When they told her about the plan to hunt and kill the Human Race, Lady Nüwa's first reaction was anger, but soon she stopped her anger.

After Lady Nüwa became a Saint, she had a conversation with Pan Huang, who mentioned the four words "Protagonist of Heaven and Earth." Nüwa also deduced it. The Human Race can indeed become the protagonist of heaven and earth, but they need to experience various hardships. Without experiencing hardships, the Human Race will not grow. If the Human Race does not grow, they will not become the protagonist of heaven and earth.

Thinking of this, combined with what Di Jun and Taiyi said, she thought this might be a hardship on the way for the Human Race to become the protagonist of heaven and earth. If the Human Race survives, the subsequent development should be very fast.

"Don't go too far!" Finally, Lady Nüwa said this coldly.

After getting Lady Nüwa's affirmation, Di Jun and Taiyi were overjoyed. It seems that Lady Nüwa is still towards the Demon Race; otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed.

As for what the Lady said about not going too far, it was automatically understood by Di Jun and Taiyi as not letting them exterminate the race. As for the concept of not exterminating the race, how many are left depends on the hearts of Di Jun and Taiyi.

"I hope you can understand what I said; otherwise, Senior Brother Laozi cannot save you." Looking at the backs of Di Jun and Taiyi leaving, Nüwa muttered to herself.

Afterward, a hint of helplessness appeared on Nüwa's face, and at the same time, a hint of guilt. This was guilt for the sentence just now, and guilt for the Human Race. But Nüwa had to do this, because only in this way could the Human Race grow into the protagonist of heaven and earth in the future.

Demon Court, after Di Jun returned, he immediately called Baize, Fuxi, and others together.

"No need to be so troublesome, Lady Nüwa has agreed to let us hunt and kill the Human Race." Di Jun had an excited smile on his face.

"What? Agreed?" Fuxi was surprised. He never thought Nüwa would agree to this matter.

"Yes, Lady Nüwa said don't go too far. My understanding is actually the same as what Baize said before. What the Lady said about not going too far should mean don't exterminate the Human Race. After all, this is the race created by the Lady when she became a Saint. We can leave some old, weak, sick, and disabled at will, and hunt and kill the rest." Taiyi said with a smile.

"Is 'don't go too far' really what it means?" Kunpeng looked at Taiyi's excited look, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he slandered in his heart, but he wouldn't say it.

"Baize, you go and gather the Demon soldiers, prepare to descend to the world to hunt and kill the Human Race. Taiyi, you go too. Emperor of Xi, Demon Master, you two stay in the Demon Court with this Emperor, build

"Right, in the early stages, we can be a bit more covert. Don't let the Wu Clan discover us; that way, we can have a bit more peace and stability for a while. Let's stick with the plague for now; it can buy us the opportunity to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword." After thinking it over, Di Jun decided to pursue both strategies simultaneously.

Once the human race or the Wu Clan discovers it, they will then launch a full-scale hunt. In this way, even with the Wu Clan's interference, they will still be able to slaughter enough human flesh and blood to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword.

"Yes!" Everyone stood up and nodded.

At Mount Shouyang, Pan Huang suddenly felt a palpitation for no reason, which immediately made him knit his brows.

He immediately began to calculate, but the Heavenly Dao was completely blurred; he simply could not calculate anything.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Pan Huang knitting his brows, Chang Xi asked.

"Nothing, just a feeling that something is about to happen recently!" Pan Huang shook his head.

As the leader of the Ren Sect, Pan Huang would normally sense it when someone acted against the human race. However, long before Di Jun left Tanggu, Taishang Laojun had already disrupted the Heavenly Dao, so Pan Huang could not calculate anything at all.

"Pan Huang, I want to go out for a stroll. Shall we go and see the human tribes?" Seeing that Pan Huang was in a bad mood, Chang Xi said with a smile.

"That works too!" Pan Huang thought for a moment and nodded; it had been a long time since he had walked through the human tribes.

Chang Xi and Xi He had recovered their origins a long time ago; the power of creation from Nüwa was indeed very powerful. However, after they recovered, they did not mention returning to the Lunar Star, and Pan Huang felt embarrassed to drive them away, so they had been living in the Sheng Huang Palace all along.
