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

Chapter 59 Secretly Infringing on Power (Vote Requested!)

The imperial edict caused an uproar throughout the land!

To the dragons, who were accustomed to being high above everyone else, the Heavenly Emperor's actions were nothing short of blatant betrayal!

Many dragons privately cursed the flat-haired beast for breaking his promise. The reason the three races joined the Heavenly Court back then was not only because they were no match for the two brothers, Di Jun and Di Jun, but also because it was a result of political compromise.

[At that time, Di Jun, who had just severed one of his corpses, did not want to rashly fight to the death with the old men of the three races. After weighing various interests, he agreed to grant the three races a certain degree of autonomy within their respective territories. In exchange, the three races had to absolutely submit to the Heavenly Court.]

This was established when the Heavenly Court was first founded, and it has continued in this manner for hundreds of years since. The fact that the Dragon Clan oppresses ordinary aquatic creatures has never been a secret; everyone knows it, but everyone tacitly agrees and pretends not to see it.

[Therefore, the dragon race has always had two faces. On one hand, they fawn over the demon race consciousness of the Heavenly Court, proclaiming "Greatness needs no further explanation!", while on the other hand, they bare their teeth at the trembling ordinary aquatic creatures...]

[What? Now that you two brothers, Byd, have reached the peak of Quasi-Saint level, you're going to turn your back on us?!]

Although the dragons have always been timid and never dared to oppose the Heavenly Court, this edict truly struck at their Achilles' heel, hitting the very foundation of their existence. To put it bluntly, the reason the dragons are so noble is precisely because they truly ride roughshod over countless aquatic creatures!

The reason why something is noble is because there must be something lower than it. Apart from humans who are born noble, all other races claim to be noble. In order to be noble, they must oppress others and force them to be lowly...

"If dragons aren't noble, then what kind of dragons are they?"

The various dragon clans harbored deep resentment in private. The cowards of the past had all transformed into iron-blooded tough guys, and with just a few words, it was as if they were going to burn down the Heavenly Court and kill the false emperor...

Of course, in the end it was all just talk; no one dared to actually take action. However, many people went to the Dragon King of the East Sea, clamoring for him to go to the Heavenly Court to demand an explanation.

Faced with these indignant little brothers, the True Dragon King of the East Sea, as the leader of the dragon order, had no choice but to appease them one by one, solemnly stating that the Crystal Palace might close down, but it would never change its nature!

Then, the True Dragon King of the East Sea immediately summoned his distant cousin from the North Sea and, in the name of his elder brother, had him submit a memorial to the emperor offering advice.

[The True Dragon King of the East Sea: Go and advise the Heavenly Emperor! (No room for argument!)]

[North Sea True Dragon King: Huh? Me? (Confused)]

Unable to resist his elder brother's orders, the True Dragon King of the North Sea had no choice but to bite the bullet and petition the Heavenly Court, begging the Heavenly Emperor for mercy...

The outcome was unexpected. The Heavenly Emperor neither agreed nor disagreed, but instead implied to him: This matter only targets ordinary dragons. How could the Heavenly Court possibly punish loyal subjects? Trust me, this has nothing to do with you true dragons of the Four Seas!

[Now, the Four Seas True Dragon, who had been focused on surviving, breathed a sigh of relief and stopped paying attention to the matter.]

[The Heavenly Emperor kept his word, directly removing the Four Seas True Dragons from the list of targets, clearly stating that the Four Seas True Dragons were all his wings... so give me the whole chicken except for the wings!]

Chaos erupted everywhere...

Seeing that the Heavenly Emperor had actually made his move, you secretly praised yourself for your excellent micro-management, hitting the Heavenly Emperor where it hurt. After all, the semi-independent state of the ancient world hadn't been a recent development. As a product of compromises made back then, the Heavenly Emperor had naturally wanted these old guys to rake in gold coins for a long time!

[Your remonstrance acted as a perfect catalyst, prematurely igniting the conflict between the Heavenly Court and the Dragon Clan. Although you were outwardly reprimanded by the Heavenly Court for this, this anti-sealing movement will inevitably end with the complete disintegration of the Dragon Clan's collateral forces.]

Once all the collateral branches are gone, the true dragons will be isolated and helpless, and sooner or later they will have to kneel on the Lingxiao Palace and kowtow like dogs.

[The Crystal Palace appeared to have received a guarantee of immunity, but in reality, they were so desperate for survival that they'd lost their minds. They didn't even consider that if Emperor Jun insisted on opposing feudalism, how could he possibly let these old feudalists get away with it...?]

After a brief moment of reflection on the old guard's excessive surviving, you continued your work on the human race's "vanguard" transformation.

[Now that it has been decided to make the human race the most steadfast anti-sealing vanguard in Di Jun's eyes, then targeting the dragon race is only the first step in the entire undertaking. Many more steps lie ahead.]

[You directly drafted an order to seize power from the various demon tribes, instructing the millions of grassroots humans aiding the demons to obey the Heavenly Emperor's decree, mobilize the demon people of each tribe to denounce their tribal chiefs, resolutely support the Heavenly Emperor, and firmly oppose feudal oppression!]

In the primordial world, the Heavenly Court's power could never fully reach the grassroots level, and the implementation of Heavenly Laws and regulations among various races and tribes was never entirely satisfactory. Therefore, as long as one dared to report something, an investigation would almost always be successful.

[So you mean, after using the Heavenly Laws to rightfully overthrow the tribal chiefs, you then let the grassroots humans, through the prestige they've accumulated by aiding the local areas, legitimately acquire power from the tribes.]

[Your ambition is blatantly obvious. You intend to use humans, who are superior to ordinary demons in every way, to gradually gain power at the grassroots level, and under the banner of the Heavenly Emperor, to carry out your grand plan to seize the throne!]

[Perhaps simply calling it ambition isn't quite right. Your fundamental purpose in pursuing power isn't to act recklessly or indulge in pleasure, but rather that only by seizing power from the Heavenly Court can you truly achieve the long-term coexistence of demons and humans.]

After all, the best way to forcibly equalize a group that is essentially a race of demons with ordinary demons is to exert dual control over them in terms of both thought and power.

Therefore, besides educating humans with the idea of ​​equality, you also need to balance the conflict between demons and humans. Only a truly legitimate Heavenly Emperor who gains the support of both races can mobilize the power of the demon race to curb the expansion of the human race's demon-superior mentality.

If this was the "Human Court Heavenly Emperor" of a previous life, then he was inherently flawed. The "Human Court" was built on a flawed ideological and political foundation, destined to be an illegitimate and short-lived regime.

Therefore, you cannot directly succeed to the Heavenly Emperor simply because you are a "Great Chieftain of the Human Race" or something similarly imbued with patriarchal values; similarly, you cannot assume the position of Heavenly Emperor while bearing the title of "Demon Race."

Race is just a burden to you; what you need is a pure class identity that transcends race...

"I will represent the interests of the vast majority of ordinary people from both the demon and human races, and through overthrowing the old Heavenly Court's oppressive rule, I will allow the most outstanding members of the human race to become officials, legally entering the Lingxiao Palace amidst the cheers of billions of different races, and establishing a new Heavenly Court free from racial conflict."

"Humans are born noble, so I will divide humanity, creating artificial disparities within the innate differences, allowing certain human and demon races to simultaneously rise above ordinary humans and demons in the highest position, thus eliminating and erasing the innate disparities..."

[You silently recited, deciding on your path: "As the Heavenly Emperor, I will always stand with the common people, using the power of the lower classes to limit the unlimited expansion of the upper classes..."]

[Emperor Jun dreamed of becoming the Heavenly Emperor of all races, but he broke down when facing the human race, ultimately embarking on a path of no return—slaughter. You will then use Emperor Jun as a stepping stone to become a more perfect "Emperor Jun"!]

[In the 365th year of the Demon Calendar, the Seventh Cycle and the Fifth Phase, the Heavenly Emperor issued a decree reversing the previous system of investiture, shaking the entire world!]

[As it happened, the Eastern Wilderness human race was the first to respond, reporting and removing over 100,000 lawless minor chieftains of the Eastern Wilderness demon race, and gaining the support of various demon tribes to secretly seize their power.]

[When Emperor Jun heard of this, he praised it.]

[In the next phase, the human race seized one-tenth of the land in the Eastern Wilderness. With Jin Bing's command, both demons and humans respected him, and the matter gradually gained momentum...]
