My portable grandfather refreshes every week

Chapter 210 A Doting Mother-in-Law, Luckily, She Has Nothing to Do with Me...

"Do you know that in order to eliminate the hatred between different races, I confiscated all the knowledge and records of those tribes, standardized the world's writing system so that only magical script could be used, and unified the units of measurement for all races..."

"And on this basis, we will confiscate all the magic in the world. This power should not be used for war and killing, but for building roads and bridges, and for agricultural production..."

The old demon king spoke of his great achievements and all the grand plans he wanted to implement.

He wanted to create a thousand-year empire, which he estimated would only require three generations of racial fusion. At that time, there would be no more racial distinctions, and the world would be at peace and in harmony with all people being of mixed blood.

Xue Law: "..."

This move looks familiar.
However, the last person who did this was exposed after his death, but it seems that you were exposed while you were still in office? And you are someone who can single-handedly strengthen the entire world, how could you lose like that?

Why don't you stop calling yourself Demon King and start calling yourself Demon Emperor...?

Xue Dinglu sat up. He wanted to hear what kind of genius this person had done to cause the collapse of society.

Logically speaking, in such a war-mongering world, whoever has the biggest fist is right. And now, if the guy with the biggest fist wants peace, at least it should remain peaceful until he dies.

Although the peace that existed before his death may have collapsed and vanished in an instant, it is impossible to say that if the world's strongest person still wants peace, others can resist.
"But I underestimated people's hearts. Even though I did all that, my empire began to crumble in less than 14 years..."

"It started at the border of the empire, where everyone turned into bizarre half-human, half-insect beings. It took me a great deal of effort to eradicate all the human-insects and that insect egg..."

Upon hearing this, Xue Dinglu couldn't sit still and immediately interrupted:

"Wait, wait a minute... do those bugs and eggs over there look like this?" Xue Dinglu immediately conjured up the image of the Shub insect race and their egg structure from his memory, as if printing it onto a piece of paper with a casual printer.

"Hmm? You've also had an insect plague here? But the insects I saw were slightly different; they had more prominent horns and a thicker exoskeleton," the old demon king added.

Xue Law: "..."

Good heavens, it really is the Shub insectoid race! And you, a ruthless person, were able to resolve the Shub insectoid crisis on your own without relying on external forces. No wonder you're a near-Tier 5.

After the interruption, the old demon king seemed to gather his thoughts again before continuing, "But my investigation revealed that these insects weren't born that way, but rather summoned by the remnants of nobles from other races..."

"Wait...wait a minute...didn't you kill all those mythical kings and nobles from other races?" Xue Dinglu asked, as if he had discovered something.

“My world has already caused too much killing, and I don’t want to create more suffering. Hatred will end after my generation ends,” the old demon king said. “I just abolished their identities and made their descendants come to my side as hostages. This way, I can resolve racial conflicts by cultivating the next generation.”

Xue Law: "..."

Hmm... he could probably guess how that empire fell.

Oh, it's that nagging mother-in-law. Sorry to bother you.

Seeing Xue Dinglu's barely concealed expression, the old devil asked, "Is there something wrong with my plan?"

Yes, that's a big problem! You're completely disregarding the other side. Do you think you can make them obey you just by using protons?
Xue Dinglu hesitated for a moment, then said politely, "Your question is very big... Generally, in this kind of rule, the previous leaders usually have to be wiped out before a period of peaceful rule can be achieved. Otherwise, the power of the remnants of the old regime to restore it will definitely be much greater than you imagine..."

Seeing the old demon king's attitude, Xue Law continued, "Didn't you have similar stories in your previous history?"

"History? Sorry, we only record the history of hatred when we go there. Besides, I was the first in the world to achieve unification, so I have no history to refer to. I can only take it one step at a time." The old demon king said, then asked Xue's Law, "How long can your methods maintain peace? By killing all the nobles?"

"Well, I guess it can last until you die." Xue Law gave a somewhat conservative conclusion, summarizing based on his own historical experience: "It will probably maintain peace until you die, but who knows what will happen after that."

"Then there's no need for that. What I need isn't this fleeting and false peace; what I want is a world of eternal tranquility for everyone. In my original plan, just five generations of this gradual, subtle process would be enough to completely eliminate the barriers between all races..." The Demon King continued, outlining his grand vision.
"I can easily suppress them with my own hands over five generations. And after five generations, when the new generation is used to peace and multi-ethnic coexistence, with countless bloodlines mixed together, how much racial hatred will they still have?"

Xue Dinglu fell silent. He suddenly realized that the old demon king's plan wasn't so bad... no, it should be said that it wasn't a problem given his strength. His strength was enough for him to make such a meticulous plan, a plan that would take several generations to show results.

However, given his strength and lifespan, this plan was not a major problem, at least from his perspective of taking things one step at a time.

However, Xue's Law still disagrees. In such situations, one cannot be so sentimental and fussy. One must act decisively and eliminate the entire aristocratic class. Then, after brainwashing the remaining people for several generations, the problem should be solved.

Xue Law wanted to hear more about what this nagging woman would do next.

As expected, the story unfolded exactly as Xue's prediction had predicted. The remnants of the old regime were dissatisfied with the Demon Emperor's rule, so they caused trouble on the surrounding borders. Then, someone persuaded his youngest son to do something that defied logic.

The Demon King's youngest son, originally a prince, secretly plotted to usurp the throne while his father was dealing with issues at the border, and in an instant, he wiped out the entire group of "intellectuals" that the Demon King had left behind to govern the country...

One point to note is that the leadership team left behind by the old Demon King consists of outliers in this war-crazed world. They are a group of people who don't want to fight but only want to study knowledge and learning, because there are too many war-crazed people in this world, and everyone is a madman who kills other people's entire families.

He felt that if those war-mongers were put in power, the empire would be doomed, so he simply found a small group of cultured people who studied history, politics, astronomy, geography and so on to start governing the country.

Although things went wrong at first, after 14 years, this group of people managed the empire quite well and gradually got it on the right track. In fact, in order to protect these people who didn't have much fighting ability, he specially sent a large number of combat guards to protect them.

But shortly after things seemed to be on the right track, his youngest son usurped the throne, killed all his brothers and sisters, even his mother and stepmother, and then, with the support of those warmongers, wiped out the entire group of intellectuals...

That's not all; he also secretly plotted to release the other hostages who were nobles, promising them fiefdoms and the possibility of becoming vassal states in exchange for their release...

Upon hearing this, Xue Dinglu's vision went black.

Good heavens, really good heavens...

"Where's your teleportation portal?" Xue Dinglu complained.

"My personal guards have all betrayed me and joined my son's side, and those who could still relay messages to me have been killed." The old demon king closed his eyes and said, "This is the third mistake I made. I overestimated my subordinates. I didn't realize that in their minds, it was an insult to be ruled by powerless scholars..."

"So long after this incident, I was unaware of the situation in the capital. The messengers who kept sending me messages told me that everything was normal and the entire empire was thriving. So I delegated the authority to directly suppress the rebellion in another place."

Xue Law: "..."

Steam! Keep steaming! Civil officials managing military generals—this was an idea devised by the old devil with astonishing wisdom. He even sent many war fanatics to protect the civil officials, but who would have thought that they would all turn against him and wipe out the political team he had painstakingly cultivated.

Xue's Law seems to have lost its spark of wits. Isn't this something you can easily figure out by thinking about it? Why don't you look back at history and see what our predecessors did...?

Oh right, he can't change history; he was the first person to unify the country...

Xue Dinglu was speechless. He had found countless problems in these operations, but these problems were not really problems in terms of the old demon king's strength and lifespan. However, it was these small problems that accumulated and caused unimaginable consequences.

“Then, there was my fourth mistake.” The old demon king closed his eyes, and Xue Lude saw vicissitudes and incomprehension in his pupils. “I trusted my youngest son too much. He pretended that nothing had happened, and then he stabbed me with the back of a knife stained with the blood of the Zerg.”

"It's that 'Shabu Insect Clan' blood you mentioned. It's something that I could easily get hurt by if I'm not careful. Because of my trust, I was careless and the toxin had its best effect in a short time."

"Even though I've cleaned the bugs out, for some reason they still have that blood on their hands."

Xue Law: "..."

"What's he after?" Xue asked. He still couldn't understand what his youngest son was after.
Is he after the throne? Because he is the youngest son and has no right to inherit, he might as well kill all the other heirs and become the sole heir? Then he gets scared afterward, so with the help of others, he plans to kill his father?
He couldn't understand it. Xue's Law really couldn't comprehend the behavior of an idiot. At this moment, he felt as if he had seen the end of the universe, and his entire CPU was smoking.
