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

Chapter 6 Overthrow

"good!"

Seeing the text change on the screen, Zhao Si couldn't help but feel excited.

Although it's not very clear why this game insists on making me exert all my efforts on the demon race's extermination order, from the extreme of being a demon traitor to humans, to the even more extreme of frenzied slaughter, and now to submitting memorials to the government.

But since it made this arrangement, it must be to allow Zhao Si to save the human race from being slaughtered.

Now that the Heavenly Court has adopted his advice, it means things are moving in a positive direction. With the Heavenly Court backing down, humanity will surely be able to…

"Um?!"

Seeing the newly refreshed message, Zhao Si, who had just relaxed, suddenly became anxious again. She even increased the pressure on the hand that was stroking the fat cat's head, which displeased the cat.

Is that how the matter is resolved?

As the edict was implemented, more and more humans were forcibly drawn into schools by the celestial officials. At the same time, this young species, less than a thousand years old, finally made its first appearance before the demon race.

[Most demons had never actually seen humans. After all, their numbers were small, and they had only heard rumors that humans were barbaric and backward, but had never actually seen them for themselves. It was only when humans started enrolling in schools in large numbers that they realized the rumors were far too conservative...]

[Writing does not exist, language does not exist, and morality has completely vanished.]

[Whenever there are humans in the classroom, the quality of instruction is extremely poor. They play and fool around, ignoring teachers and classmates. Occasionally, they even start fighting. What humans see as exchanging feelings is seen as disobedience by everyone else.]

Urinating in class, having sex in public, fighting... these things happen every day. Out of desperation, the demon teachers had no choice but to tighten control and use their iron fists and canes to gradually calm the accustomed human students down. But this was clearly not enough...

Finally, the demon students couldn't take it anymore. They rallied their families to complain to the Heavenly Official, requesting that humans be grouped together in a separate class so that their regular schooling wouldn't be disrupted. Time is money, and they didn't want their studies to be delayed by the humans.

[As time went on, resentment towards humans spread throughout the primordial world, and a consensus of rejection towards humans gradually formed among the vast majority of demons... And this was exactly what Emperor Jun had hoped for...]

"This is bad!"

Upon seeing the last paragraph, Zhao Si became extremely anxious. Even a fool could see that Di Jun had never intended to abandon the massacre of the human race from beginning to end.

But now, as the demons' negative impression of humans deepens, collective rejection is inevitable. If Emperor Jun were to issue another decree to slaughter people, the entire prehistoric world would probably applaud it, with no more pity or hesitation than before...

At this moment, everyone unanimously wanted to find a scapegoat to take the blame for the affairs of the human race. In this critical juncture, the "Little Dragon of the East Sea," who had been publicly praised by the demon master for his work on behalf of the human race, naturally became the target. People kept talking about how much benefit the little dragon had received from the human race...

You keenly sensed that something was amiss, so in this situation, you chose (?)

[A: Conforming to the will of the people, he proactively petitioned the Heavenly Court to admit his previous mistakes and openly rebelled, advocating for a massacre. B: Stubbornly clinging to his own opinion, he declared that humanity was the destined protagonist, and that those who did not understand Heaven's will were truly courting their own destruction!]

Zhao Si: ...

These are two extreme options again, and if I'm not mistaken, both should lead to a dead end.

"So, can you skip this process and just give me the option to hide the top and let me write my own strategy?"

Zhao Si said helplessly into her phone.

The phone remained silent, as if it deliberately wanted to see him die twice.

There's nothing we can do about it...

"Choose A first, let's look at the diagram."

Zhao Si gritted her teeth and closed her eyes, but couldn't help opening them a crack to look:

[You choose (A: Follow the will of the people, proactively submit a petition to the Heavenly Court admitting your previous mistakes, openly defecting, and advocating for slaughter!)]

[You submitted another letter, but the wording was different from before. The Demon Master read it and couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.]

The decree for the massacre was not issued immediately; the Heavenly Court remained unexpectedly calm.

Weird.

Zhao Si, who had been fully prepared to reopen, couldn't help but feel suspicious:

"I've already slid down to my knees, shouldn't the Heavenly Court have backed down? Do they really intend to give humanity another chance?"

Opportunity? The answer is naturally no.

[The Heavenly Court certainly wouldn't take the initiative to express its opinion, after all, it was its own order to be lenient; to show leniency one minute and then immediately open the map the next would be to contradict itself. It was simply waiting.]

Not long after, millions of demon students finally erupted, not only spontaneously boycotting the human race, but also emulating the "Little Dragon of the East Sea" of yesteryear, petitioning the Heavenly Court.

Despite such public opinion, the Heavenly Court remained unmoved...

At this time, however, a piece of news somehow spread: the Supreme Sage Taiqing had accepted a disciple, bestowing upon him the Dharma name "Xuandu," and this person was of human origin!

The news caused an uproar throughout the primordial world. After all, everyone had just condemned the human race for its low character, and now the supreme sage had taken a human as a disciple. Wasn't this tantamount to the sage personally slapping everyone in the face?! The sage would rather take a human as a disciple than a demon?!

The demons discussed this amongst themselves, but the Supreme Sage was always indifferent to fame and fortune and didn't care about the criticism. Besides, no one dared to accuse the Sage of being blind.

[The Heavenly Emperor issued an edict congratulating the Sage on accepting a fine disciple, bestowing upon him a large number of gifts, and also gifting the Sage's disciple a primordial spiritual treasure for his service, declaring, "If any of my subjects were to become a disciple personally taught by the Sage, I would bestow such favor upon them."]

[A Primordial Spiritual Treasure?! To be accepted as a disciple by a sage and receive such treatment? All the demons were itching for it, and the six sage dojos were immediately packed with demons, with countless people from all races trying to become disciples every day.]

[However, to everyone's disappointment, after Xuandu, the Taiqing Sage stopped accepting disciples. The Shangqing Sage accepted all comers, but had very few personal disciples. The same was true for the two Western Sages; they accepted all registered disciples, but had very few personal disciples. The Nuwa Sage, on the other hand, did not accept any disciples at all.]

[The most outrageous one is the Jade Purity Saint. On one hand, he openly declares that he will not accept demons with scales and horns, or those born from eggs in the wet, yet on the other hand, he has accepted several human disciples... Does the Saint not consider humans demons?]

[No one dared to refute the Sage, but the human race suffered a great misfortune. Countless demons who had failed to become disciples began to target the human race. Everyone was already dissatisfied with the human race's barbarity, and now they were openly discriminated against by the Jade Purity Sage. It was a good opportunity to settle both old and new grudges!]

[Unprovoked killing is a crime punishable by the laws of Heaven, but discrimination against a group often doesn't require bloodshed. What humans eat, demons steal; what humans drink, demons steal; when humans need rest, there are demons in their monstrous forms wandering around causing landslides and earthquakes… Eventually, humans couldn't take it anymore. They felt that in this vast world, why was everyone targeting them?]

[It is impossible to verify exactly who struck first, but there is no doubt that after the Heavenly Court officially issued the decree for the massacre, given the vast difference in strength between the two sides, the human race was no match for them. Under the spontaneous collective rejection, the human race quickly fell into a situation where everyone wanted to kill them. The seeds of revenge began to be planted in their hearts and took root and sprouted...]

The sages sheltered the remaining humans, and just as you remember them, they worked hard, gradually building up their strength. Although they faced hardship under the rejection of the entire prehistoric world, they grew stronger and stronger, with more and more powerful individuals emerging.

As expected, the Wu tribe rose up in rebellion. The demon tribe's rejection of humans had also left a mark on the Wu tribe. It turned out that the demon tribe could indeed reject an innocent human simply because they disliked a group. Barbaric and backward, wasn't the Wu tribe the same? The Wu tribe didn't believe humans had committed any fatal crimes; they were simply being targeted.

The war between the Lich King and the Lich King is about to begin...

History ultimately followed the same path of endless vendettas between the demon and human races. You seemed to have changed something, yet you also seemed to have changed nothing. The chaotic aura emanating from the Taiji Diagram annihilated your entire Golden Dragon clan, simply because after the human race conquered the Heavenly Court, they perused the documents and found your memorial suggesting the massacre of humans within that vast expanse.

[You died. Your wrong choices led to a wrong ending. You never truly found the fundamental conflict between the demon race and the human race. Everything you did was in vain...]

Is it possible to turn back time and go back to the choices we made in life?

For a moment, Zhao Si fell silent.
