Primordial Era: The Way of the Three Lights and Stars

Chapter 34: A Difficult Choice

Demon Court.

Emperor Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, Fuxi and other high-ranking members of the Demon Court, after suffering heavy losses in the last battle with the Witch Clan, have finally recovered from their injuries after a long period of recuperation and are now gathered together once again.

"Gentlemen, the conflict between my Demon Court and the Witch Clan is irreconcilable. Let's discuss what to do next."

Although Di Jun was arrogant, he had to admit that the Wu Clan was really tough. Even if he could defeat the Wu Clan with the Zhou Tian Star Formation alone, the Demon Court would probably not fare much better.

Upon hearing this, all the demons fell silent, even the most arrogant Donghuang Taiyi had nothing to say at this moment.

Although Donghuang Taiyi acted arrogantly, he was not stupid. He knew that with the current strength of the Demon Court, it was impossible to ensure the Demon Court's survival after defeating the Witch Clan.

Di Jun's gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Bai Ze.

He noticed that although Bai Ze remained silent, there was a strange look in his eyes, as if he already had a plan in mind but was struggling with whether or not to speak up.

As the strategist and advisor of the Demon Court, Di Jun had great faith in his wisdom.

"Does the strategist have a plan?"

Di Jun's words immediately drew everyone's attention to Bai Ze, and they all looked at him with anticipation, as it seemed that they could only rely on Bai Ze now.

Bai Ze's gaze swept over everyone, and he said helplessly, "I do have a plan, but..."

Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed, seemingly oblivious to the struggle in Bai Ze's eyes. They eagerly asked him what the best solution was.

Seeing this, Bai Ze knew that he could no longer hide it.

"The strength of the Witch Clan lies in their physique. Even at the same level, we would need two, three, or even more to match them. It is said that human blood can counteract the Witch Clan's physique, but humans..."

At this point, Bai Ze couldn't help but look at Fu Xi.

Everyone immediately understood what Bai Ze was thinking.

The human race, no matter what, is a race created by Nuwa, and it is related to her attainment of enlightenment. Even if Nuwa didn't interfere much, anyone who wants to deal with the human race has to consider Nuwa's feelings.

Especially given the unpredictable relationship between the Demon Court and Nuwa, it's something we need to consider even more.

Upon hearing this, Fuxi frowned.

He never expected that Bai Ze's so-called good plan would actually be related to the human race.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Fuxi did some calculations and learned that the human population had now exceeded 10 billion, but the quality was not very good.

He then looked at Bai Ze and asked, "Approximately how much do you need?"

Bai Ze pondered for a moment: "First of all, we need to forge a special weapon for the Ancestral Witches and the true form of Pangu. This cannot be done with ordinary blood."

"I estimate that at least one billion human blood samples would be needed for purification to achieve the desired result."

"Secondly, we need more blood to be given to the members of each department. Only in this way can our Demon Court have enough living strength to survive after the victory."

"I estimate that at least five billion is needed here."

"According to you, wouldn't that mean we can only leave a seed for the human race?" Upon hearing Bai Ze's words, Fuxi's brows furrowed with anger.

If it were only a billion or two, he could still shamelessly talk to his younger sister.

But six or seven billion...

That's the majority of the human race's current population. If the human race encounters any further calamities, they could be wiped out in the blink of an eye.

The human race is related to Xiaomei's attainment of enlightenment. If the human race is destroyed, will Xiaomei be affected?

In short, Fuxi was too ashamed to bring it up.

Helping the Demon Court is fine, but if it comes at the cost of my little sister, then Fuxi certainly cannot agree to it.

Seeing this, Bai Ze smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything more. He knew that this matter was a bit excessive, otherwise, why would he have hesitated for so long and not dared to speak?

Di Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, and the others also fell silent.

Although Nuwa was also the Demon Queen of their Demon Court, it was ultimately related to the cause of enlightenment, so no one could guarantee what Nuwa's attitude towards the human race was.

Affection is worthless in the face of the path of life.

After pondering for a long time, Di Jun looked at everyone and said, "How about this, Bai Ze and I will go and seek the opinion of Goddess Nuwa. The rest of you, please wait here."

In terms of wisdom, Di Jun may not be as good as Bai Ze, but he is not stupid.

Fuxi absolutely must not be taken on this mission.

It wasn't that they were afraid Fuxi would cause trouble, but rather that they were afraid Nuwa would think they wanted to force her to abdicate, which would only backfire.

This kind of thing requires a calm and focused mind.

"Yes."

After everyone responded, Di Jun and Bai Ze left the Demon Court and headed towards the Chaos Nuwa Palace.

Although Nuwa's palace was far from the Demon Court, Di Jun and his companion were quasi-saints, and they arrived at the palace in no time. Nuwa's attendant, Caiyi, had been waiting at the entrance for a long time.

Upon seeing the two arrive, Caiyi said, "Her Majesty said that she already knows the purpose of your visit."

Upon hearing this, Di Jun and his companion felt a chill run down their spines.

Judging from this, Nuwa clearly had no intention of meeting them. Does that mean that the human race cannot be touched?

At this moment, Caiyi added, "Her Majesty also said that the human race should be self-reliant, and she would not interfere unless there was a threat of extinction. However, if the Demon Court intends to attack the human race, then Her Majesty will have no further dealings with the Demon Court."

Di Jun and his companion were initially delighted, but after hearing the second half of what he said, their hearts sank to the bottom again.

Nuwa's meaning is already very clear.

Although I will not interfere with the development of the human race, if you want to harm the human race, then from now on, don't come to me for anything.

Was Nuwa important to the Demon Court?

Of course it matters.

That was a saint.

Saints are the supreme beings in the primordial world. Even if they defeat the Witch Clan, what good is it if they don't have the support of a Saint? For other Saints, destroying the Demon Court is as easy as lifting a finger.

Unless absolutely necessary, the Demon Court must never split from Nuwa.

So here's the question: Nuwa once said that she couldn't interfere in the struggle between the Demon Court and the Witch Clan, otherwise other saints would inevitably get involved as well.

At that time, the Demon Court will only be destroyed even faster.

Without the help of the human race, the Demon Court cannot defeat the Witch Clan. Even if they do, they will likely have to retreat in disgrace like the three ancient races. On the contrary, they will offend Nuwa.

This……

It seems like no matter what we choose, it won't work. Is the Demon Court destined to follow in the footsteps of the three ancient races?

Despite their displeasure, Di Jun and his companion could only patiently bow to Nuwa Palace before tearing through space to return to the Demon Court.

"Big brother, how is it?" Donghuang Taiyi asked first.

Although the others didn't ask any questions, their eyes said it all; they were all staring intently at the two of them.

Di Jun ignored it and instead immersed himself in his own thoughts, constantly weighing the gains and losses in his mind. In the end, it was Bai Ze who told everyone what had happened.

Immediately, everyone fell silent.

Those who have cultivated to their level, even if they are impulsive, would never be simple-minded. How could they not have figured out the key point?

That's why everyone felt it was a tricky situation; it seemed like no matter which option they chose, it wouldn't work.
