Simulating the primordial era? That's way too extreme.

Chapter 113 Demon Ancestor Rahu

You rejected Hongjun's invitation to join his group, and instead spend your days idly loafing around on the border of the Dragon and Phoenix Eastern Wilderness.

[Fighting a war is impossible; all we can do is stall and create chaos. Let's start stalling! Just stall and be done with it!]

[As time went on, both the Dragon Clan and the Qilin Clan came to know that you were a notorious slacker general...]

But this is actually a good thing.

As we all know, people are driven by self-interest. While faith can play a role in getting everyone to willingly go to the battlefield and fight to the death, self-interest is ultimately the fundamental factor.

For example, when Qin conquered the six states, were the Qin generals and soldiers truly only eager to conquer cities and seize territories because they wanted to help His Majesty the King of Qin achieve the great feat of unifying the six states?

Of course not. They did this because fighting in wars brought military merit, which could lead to promotions and wealth. Otherwise, only a fool would risk their life for the King of Qin. So when Qin Shi Huang and Qin Er Shi could no longer afford to bestow titles, they quickly moved to Qin. (The text then abruptly shifts to a seemingly unrelated anecdote: "The old Qin, welcoming Liu Bang...")

The reason the three races are currently fighting is entirely due to these three warmongers, the Three Ancestors. Winning or losing makes little difference to the ordinary slaves; they're still slaves anyway, so the benefits are negligible.

Therefore, the reason that kept the vast majority of ordinary slaves fighting, besides the spiritual motivation derived from their respective creation myths, was simply the desire for revenge!

However, just because ordinary slaves might fight to the death for these two vague reasons doesn't mean that second-generation generals of your caliber would be equally willing to go to war...

The second-generation generals on the front lines, though nominally slaves of the three ancestors, are in reality local tyrants with fiefdoms and power. They have already satisfied all their desires, so they have no desire to wage such a frenzied war!

[Or rather, it's not because desires have been satisfied, but because greater desires cannot be satisfied, thus forcing one to accept the status quo.]

Is there still room for them to grow?

[It's obvious that they can't, because the Three Ancestors are boss-level beings that they cannot surpass. Whether it's replacing their own ancestor or eliminating the ancestors of the opposing two families to seize territory, it's simply impossible.]

No matter how great one's achievements, can one replace one's ancestor?

No matter how many enemies you kill, can you truly defeat them?

If nothing else works, why fight so desperately?

[For the second generation, war brings no benefit whatsoever; on the contrary, it results in losses. The realization of their ancestors' dreams remains a distant prospect, while the slaves and resources of their own territories are being steadily depleted...]

Therefore, they are actually the most clear-headed group; they don't want to fight at all, but they are caught in the middle, between their ancestors above and their slaves below, and they have no choice but to fight.

Now that you've set up an ambush on the battlefield, the enemy's first reaction isn't to rush in and expand their gains, but rather to want to set up an ambush with you...

Thus, on the eastern front of the Dragon and Phoenix Battlefield, where the fighting was initially most intense, a strange tacit understanding gradually emerged.

Today you let the game go and suffered a small loss, tomorrow I'll let the game go and suffered a small loss too, and the day after tomorrow you'll let the game go again...

A strange atmosphere replaced the previous life-or-death war atmosphere.

Wow, the atmosphere spread so quickly!

[The Eastern Wilderness Front is underway.]

[The Western Wilderness front is now open.]

【Southern Wilderness…】

[Let's get started! Just start setting up!]

[You single-handedly managed to sway the atmosphere of the three-race war...]

【…】

However, this ultimately cannot change the fact that the three races suffered countless casualties in the war. You only dare to put on a show, acting as performers on the battlefield, but the war still exists, and the deaths and injuries still occur.

The war seems endless, as if the primordial world will forever be embroiled in ceaseless conflict...

Therefore, faced with this tragic future, history has made its choice.

[In a certain era, a powerful figure calling himself "Luo Hou" appeared on the battlefield of the Western Wilderness.]

At first, he was just killing slaves, and the higher-ups of the three races didn't pay much attention to him. They just thought he was a naturally born saint living in seclusion in the Western Wilderness, and that he only took action because the great battle had disturbed him.

[In the primordial world, naturally born saints were few, but they weren't the only three ancestors, so no one paid them much attention.]

But instead of stopping as everyone expected, he went on to fight his way through the Western Wilderness, the Southern Wilderness, the Northern Wilderness, the Eastern Wilderness, and the Central Plains—wherever there was a battlefield, he was there!

[The beings he killed weren't just from the Phoenix Clan, but from all three races, advocating for the equality of all living beings...]

Finally, a second-generation Phoenix Clan member couldn't stand it any longer and tried to reason with him using force!

But Rahu showed no fear and instead took the initiative to fight.

In this battle, this second-generation phoenix was easily killed by Luo Hou with a single spear thrust!

[A second-generation phoenix, comparable in rank to a Taiyi Golden Immortal, has never seen such a powerful figure perish since the start of the war between the three races. This battle immediately shocked the prehistoric world.]

This even alarmed the Ancestral Phoenix, who had been hiding in the giant volcano. The Ancestral Phoenix came personally and fought a fierce battle with Rahu. The fire and demonic energy impacted the Western Wilderness, causing countless damages...

[But what's even more shocking is that this guy who called himself Luo Hou didn't get burned to death by the Ancestral Phoenix. Instead, he escaped with his life and continued his slaughter of the slave army on the battlefield of the three races!]

Faced with such a ruthless and powerful being, after the Ancestral Phoenix, the Ancestral Dragon and the Ancestral Qilin also attempted to kill him, but ultimately failed. In fact, this strange Rahu was growing stronger and stronger. When he fought the Ancestral Phoenix, he could only run for his life, but when he fought the Ancestral Qilin, he was able to fight the Ancestral Qilin to a draw...

After he withstood three attacks from the patriarchs, he was deemed worthy to be ranked alongside them, and thus proclaimed himself "Demon Ancestor"!

[The Demon Ancestor Rahu has officially arrived!]

……

Eastern Wilderness.

Jiao Ming, who was enjoying his slacking off, suddenly widened his eyes:

"What?! Rahu has come to the Eastern Wilderness?!"

The Vermilion Bird, also a second-generation phoenix, nodded repeatedly:

"Hurry! The last battlefield attacked by Rahu isn't far from here. You'd better run with me!"

Zhuque, a good brother, was also stationed in the Eastern Wilderness. The news that Luo Hou had appeared nearby terrified him. He originally wanted to run away, but then he remembered that his good brother Jiao Ming was still here, so he specially came to drag him away with him.

Jiao Ming was shocked. In recent days, Luo Hou's reputation had been spreading like wildfire. This born saint was probably out of his mind. He killed anyone he could catch, not even dragons, phoenixes, or unicorns!

The key point is that he is unreasonable. He kills those who resist and those who surrender. Although he is called "Ancestor" like the Three Ancestors, he has no intention of taking on any followers. They all have to die.

Because of his extreme cruelty, the three races gradually became terrified of him. Whenever they heard that he was nearby, they would immediately find a place to hide...

Faced with such a formidable threat, some advised the Third Ancestor that a truce with the other two tribes should be temporarily established.

Based on Rahu's criminal experience, although he is a chaotic and evil terrorist, he usually only appears on the battlefield. In that case, shall we stop fighting for the time being?

This advice is perfectly valid; everyone can see that this person only slaughters on the battlefield, not among the common people. So…

Unexpectedly, even though the reasoning was laid bare, the three clan ancestors showed no intention of stopping the war. Instead, they ordered each battlefield to fight even more fiercely, which had a flavor of "pacifying the internal before resisting the external."

What grudge or hatred could there be?

Frustrated by the ineffective attempts to dissuade them, the fighting continued. But as soon as Rahu appeared nearby, the second-generation offspring of each family immediately became fertile...

"Let's get going!"

Jiao Ming didn't dare to linger and quickly grabbed his good brother Zhu Que and ran away, fearing that he would be attacked by Rahu.

The two second-generation phoenixes, both at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, were determined to escape, so their speed was undoubtedly extremely fast, and they were far away from the battlefield in no time.

"Hopefully, that dragon on the other side can escape too..."

As Jiao Ming fled, he whispered his wishes for good luck to the enemy dragon. After all, they had been exchanging blows for so long, and although they hadn't had much actual interaction, they had developed some feelings and tacit understanding.

Zhuque chuckled:

"Don't worry, that old golden dragon has already run away. When I came to find you just now, I saw it flying towards the East Sea at a glance, even faster than I could fly..."

Uh……

Jiao Ming's lips twitched. He had to admire the other side's reaction speed and information sensitivity. As for himself... if it weren't for his good brother coming to tell him, he would probably have died on the battlefield without knowing anything.

"Rahu..."

After escaping, Jiao Ming looked back at his camp from afar, and his pupils contracted in surprise:

Suddenly, a massive cloud of black mist, resembling a lotus flower, enveloped the entire battlefield. The dense black light emanated an ominous aura, as if the resentment of countless beings roared within it…

"Those slaves should all be dead..."

Suzaku also witnessed this scene and couldn't help but sigh softly:

Although it didn't dare to confront the Ancestral Phoenix directly like Jiao Ming did in its anti-war stance, it was still quite sympathetic towards all living beings. So after Jiao Ming started the attack, it also started the attack, trying its best not to cause any casualties.

The dragon and phoenix slaves across the entire battlefield have all been killed by Rahu, and it is deeply saddened by this...

Jiao Ming was heartbroken. He had already tried his best to avoid casualties, but he still couldn't save their lives.

So he felt a surge of anger towards that Rahu, but then he thought about it again and became somewhat confused:

How come such a powerful and evil creature has no reputation whatsoever in the timeline before I restarted it?
