Primordial Era: Something's Wrong with This Generation of Witch Clan

Chapter 54: The First Signs of a Plot Against Humanity

After everyone left, Di Jun rubbed his temples. To be honest, if Fu Xi hadn't reminded him, he would have agreed to Tai Yi's plan and led his troops to encircle and annihilate them. ☟♣ ➅➈Şн𝕦𝔁.C๏𝐦 ☹☆

Fortunately, Fuxi gave a reminder at the last moment; otherwise, they would probably be facing the wrath of the goddess Nuwa now.

"Or should we go and ask the Goddess Nuwa for her opinion?" Di Jun muttered to himself.

After all, Nuwa has never cared about them since she became a saint. They have always been mixed up with the witch clan. Nuwa is a saint of the demon clan, so she should be on their side, right?

In fact, Di Jun was a little unsure about Nuwa's intentions, because after Nuwa became a saint, she neither cared for the human race nor gradually distanced herself from the demon race. If Fuxi hadn't been in the demon court, she probably wouldn't have given the demon race a second glance.

"No matter what, let's go and sound out Nuwa. What if she doesn't care?" Di Jun muttered to himself.

"Oh right, I should also go and talk to the Sage Taiqing and see what kind of advice he can give."

As Di Jun was pondering this, Yue Chan and Yue Tu walked over from the back hall of Yaochi. Their bellies were swollen, clearly indicating that they were pregnant. It was just unknown how many little golden crows they could give birth to.

"My husband!"

"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to rest?" Upon seeing Yuechan and Yuetu, Dijun quickly went over to help them up.

"We just heard about the human race, and we thought it must be hard for you to make a decision, so we wanted to come and see you," the Moon Rabbit said with a smile.

"Leave this matter to me, you don't need to worry about it," Di Jun said with a smile.

"My lord, I do have a plan. This plan will not arouse the emperor's suspicion, but I estimate it can only be used once," Yuechan said to Dijun.

"Moon Toad, what's your plan?" Di Jun asked, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"poison!"

"poison?"

"Yes, we can use poison. Of course, we can't use the kind that kills instantly. We can use what humans call plagues. After all, such things have happened to humans before. We can artificially create large-scale plagues and then harvest the corpses and souls of humans," Moon Toad said, revealing his plan.

"This plan should have a high success rate," Di Jun said after thinking for a moment.

"Besides epidemics, we can also secretly create extreme environments, floods, droughts, and so on! Aren't these the very difficulties that humanity faced in the primordial era? We've only added a little fuel to the fire," Yuechan said with a smile.

"Hahaha, she truly is my wise and capable wife!" Upon hearing this, Di Jun suddenly understood.

Yes, we can make a fuss about the difficulties that humanity is currently facing, and that way we can do it without anyone noticing.

He chatted with the Moon Toad and the Moon Rabbit for a while longer, and finally, unable to contain his excitement, he told them what he had learned and then went to the Lingxiao Palace.

"Taiyi, call everyone over. I've come up with a plan," Dijun said to Taiyi.

"Really?" Taiichi asked in surprise.

"Go and call everyone over." Di Jun nodded.

"Okay!" Tai nodded.

Soon, everyone gathered together again.

"Demon Emperor! You already have a plan?" Fuxi asked the Demon Emperor.

"That's right! I already have a plan to hunt down humans!" Di Jun nodded.

Then Dijun told everyone about the plan that Yuechan had mentioned.

"Great! This plan is excellent!" Taiichi clapped his hands repeatedly upon hearing this.

If Di Jun's plan is implemented, they will be able to gather the flesh and soul needed to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword in a maximum of a thousand years.

"That's not appropriate!" Bai Ze thought for a moment and then shook his head.

"Why?" Di Jun frowned.

"This method still has some flaws," Bai Ze said, looking at everyone.

"This method is already perfect, what flaws could there be?" Taiyi asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Demon Emperor, my lord, is this method only applicable to humans?" Bai Ze asked.

"Indeed!"

"May I ask, Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, what is the current strength of the human race?" Bai Ze asked again.

"Compared to my demon race, they are naturally no match for me." Di Jun said with a look of disdain.

"Your Majesty, the human race is indeed weak, but there are still races weaker than humans in the primordial world, and they exist within the human race's sphere of influence. If this plague only targets humans, it will be easily discovered." Bai Ze analyzed for everyone.

"But this will cause a lot of killing, and my demon race will bear the karma for it!" Fuxi said with a worried expression.

"Won't our current plans involve any bloodshed?" Bai Ze asked, looking at Fu Xi.

Fuxi opened his mouth, but didn't say a word. Yes! The things he was planning were inherently creating bloodshed, so what difference did it make how many?

"By the way, I feel I should tell Goddess Nuwa about this, otherwise things might get complicated later," Di Jun said after thinking for a moment.

"Brother, what if Goddess Nuwa is unwilling?" Taiyi asked anxiously when he heard that Dijun was going to tell Goddess Nuwa.

"I will also tell the Sage Taiqing that if Nuwa disagrees, the Sage Taiqing should help us stop her. After all, our demon race is becoming stronger, and the Sage Taiqing is also a beneficiary."

"If that's the case, we can talk to Goddess Nuwa about it. Although this might offend Goddess Nuwa, as long as we don't exterminate the human race, we can even befriend the human race and intermarry after we destroy the witch race. At that time, the human race will still be able to develop. After all, the Holy Mother of the Human Race is also a saint of our demon race," Bai Ze said after thinking for a while.

This matter will inevitably come to light eventually, so it's better to tell Goddess Nuwa in advance. Even if she tries to stop it now, she will understand the demon race in the future, because once the demon race becomes the overlord of the prehistoric world, the human race will become the largest race after the demon race.

"Alright, let's split up then. Xi Huang, Bai Ze, you two gather the demon races that are good at creating plagues and have them start researching how to spread them. Tai Yi, you and I will go to Tang Valley first, and then to Nuwa Palace." Di Jun began to assign tasks.

As for Kunpeng, he should just stick to being a demon master for the demon race. Ever since the incident of besieging Hongyun ended, there has been a rift between demon masters and the demon race. If it weren't for the fact that his primordial spirit was still on the demon-summoning banner, Kunpeng would probably have rebelled against the demon court long ago.

……

"We have come to pay our respects to the Sage Taiqing! Please announce our arrival." Upon arriving at the Eight Views Palace in Tanggu, Dijun said to the gatekeeper.

"Your Majesty, my master is still refining pills. It will probably take a couple more days. This batch of pills should be ready in the next couple of days." The gatekeeper looked at Di Jun apologetically.

"Is it the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir?" Taiyi hurriedly asked.

"That's right! This is the ninth batch of pills that Master has made. Before refining the pills, Master instructed that this is the last batch and no one is allowed to disturb him," the boy added.

"Alright, then I'll wait here for a few days." Di Jun nodded, and Tai Yi also looked obedient.

The reason they did this is because Lao Tzu once said that when the demon race and the witch race went to war, he would refine a batch of Nine-Turn Golden Pills to add several Great Luo Golden Immortals to the demon race. It seems that this is not just a few, but hundreds or even thousands of Great Luo Golden Immortals.

Now, let alone making Di Jun wait a few days, even if it takes hundreds of years, he will wait. After all, those are thousands of Great Luo Golden Immortals. Thousands of Great Luo Golden Immortals are a force to be reckoned with, even among the demon race.

Three days later, Laozi finished refining the elixir, and Dijun and Taiyi finally met Laozi.

"Sage Taiqing, I have something I would like to discuss with you," said Dijun.

"What is it?"

"About the human race."

Di Jun then told Laozi everything about how human flesh and blood could enhance the strength of the demon race, how human flesh and blood could be used to forge weapons, and how the weapons forged could even break through the physical defenses of the witch race.

"Is this true?" Lao Tzu frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"It's true! We've already verified it." Tai nodded.

"You've come to me hoping I can help you stop your junior sister Nuwa?" Laozi asked.

"That is the intention, but I will personally go to discuss it with Goddess Nuwa. If Goddess Nuwa disagrees, then we may need the help of the Sage Taiqing." Di Jun cupped his hands to Laozi.

"It's alright." Lao Tzu nodded.

"Sage, do you feel there are any flaws in our plan? Why don't you help us improve it?" Taiyi suddenly said.

Di Jun looked at Tai Yi in surprise. Was this still his silly little brother? He'd finally come to his senses! He could actually say something like that.

"I'll just say one thing: the human race should not be destroyed, and you'd better not go too far, or I won't be able to stop my junior sister Nuwa." Laozi didn't offer them any advice, he just said this one sentence.

"Thank you for your guidance, Sage." Di Jun cupped his hands to Laozi, and then left with Taiyi.

"Sigh!" After Di Jun and Tai Yi left, Lao Tzu sighed, a hint of relief in his eyes, but more so a sense of helplessness.

Upon arriving at Nuwa Palace, under the guidance of Lingzhuzi, Dijun and Taiyi met the Goddess Nuwa.

When they revealed their plan to hunt down the human race, Nuwa's first reaction was anger, but she quickly suppressed her anger.

After Nuwa became a saint, she had a conversation with Panhuang. Panhuang mentioned the words "protagonist of heaven and earth." Nuwa also deduced that the human race could indeed become the protagonist of heaven and earth, but it would need to go through all kinds of hardships. Without going through hardships, the human race would not grow, and if the human race did not grow, it would not become the protagonist of heaven and earth.

Thinking about this, and combining it with what Di Jun and Tai Yi had said, she believed that this might be a trial on the road for the human race to become the protagonist of the world. If the human race could overcome it, the subsequent development should be very fast.

"Don't go too far!" Nuwa said coldly at the end.

After receiving Nuwa's approval, Dijun and Taiyi were overjoyed. It seemed that Nuwa was still on the side of the demon race, otherwise she would not have agreed.

As for what the Empress said about not going too far, Di Jun and Tai Yi automatically interpreted it as just not wanting their clan to be wiped out. As for how many clans would be left to avoid being wiped out, that depended on Di Jun and Tai Yi's intentions.

"I hope you can understand what I'm saying, otherwise even my senior brother Laozi can't save you." Nuwa murmured to herself as she watched Dijun and Taiyi leave.

Then, a look of helplessness and guilt appeared on Nuwa's face. This guilt was for what she had just said, and for the human race. But Nuwa had to do this, because only in this way could the human race grow into the protagonist of heaven and earth in the future.

After returning to the Demon Court, Di Jun immediately summoned Bai Ze, Fu Xi, and the others together.

"No need for that trouble, Goddess Nuwa has agreed to let us hunt down humans." Di Jun had an excited smile on his face.

"What? She agreed?" Fuxi was astonished; he never expected Nuwa to agree to this.

"Yes, Goddess Nuwa said we shouldn't go too far. My understanding is the same as what Bai Ze said before. What the Goddess meant by going too far is not to exterminate the human race. After all, this is a race created by the Goddess when she became a saint. We can leave some old, weak, sick and disabled people, and hunt down the rest." Taiyi said with a smile.

"Does 'Don't go too far' really mean that?" Kunpeng smiled as he looked at Taiyi's excited expression, thinking to himself, but he didn't say it aloud.

"Bai Ze, go and gather the demon soldiers to prepare to descend to the mortal realm to capture and kill humans. Tai Yi, you go too. Xi Huang, Demon Master, you two stay with me to guard the Demon Court, build the forging furnace, and prepare to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword." Di Jun began assigning tasks.

"By the way, we can be a little more discreet in the early stages, so that the Witch Clan doesn't find us. That way, we can stay safe for a while longer. Let's use the plague first, so that we can buy ourselves the opportunity to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword." After thinking for a while, Di Jun decided to take a two-pronged approach.

Once the humans or witches discover this, they will launch a large-scale hunt. In this way, even if the witches try to stop them, they will be able to hunt enough human flesh and blood to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword.

"Yes!" Everyone stood up and nodded.

At Shouyang Mountain, Pan Huang suddenly felt a pang of unease for no apparent reason, which immediately caused him to furrow his brow.

He immediately began to calculate, but the secrets of heaven were completely obscure, and he couldn't figure anything out at all.

"What's wrong?" Chang Xi asked when she saw Pan Huang's brows furrow.

"It's nothing, it's just that I have a feeling something's about to happen!" Pan Huang shook his head.

As the leader of the Human Cult, Pan Huang would be able to sense when someone is detrimental to the human race. However, as early as when Di Jun left Tang Valley, Laozi had already disrupted the heavenly secrets, so Pan Huang couldn't foresee anything at all.

"Panhuang, I want to go out for a stroll. Shall we go visit the human tribe?" Changxi said with a smile, seeing that Panhuang was in a bad mood.

"Okay!" Pan Huang thought for a moment and then nodded. It had been a long time since he had visited a human tribe.

Changxi and Xihe had already recovered their original forms long ago. Nuwa's power of creation was still very strong. However, after they recovered, they did not mention returning to Taiyin Star. Panhuang was too embarrassed to send them away, so they continued to live in the Shenghuang Palace.

The National Day holiday is over and I've already gone back to work, so updates will likely be in the evenings from now on. Thank you for reading! I will try my best to keep updating!
