After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

“Young sir, I know what you’re thinking. The Four Divine Beasts are very strong, but the government is not weak and can be bullied. Young master, let me ask you, you’ve seen many awakened demons and monsters, but have you ever seen an awakened being that belongs exclusively to the human god?”

Zhou Yan touched his chin.

"For example, Little Yama?"

Zhongdou Xingjun applauded.

"Yes, Little Yama is the God of Humanity. When Little Yama fell, he left behind his own team in the government. This team is extraordinary, with three demigod-level City Gods and two true gods, namely Wenquxing and Wuquxing."

"wrong."

Zhou Yan suddenly remembered Bai Rusu's words.

"I still believe in the City God, but why are these two true gods of civil and military affairs so silent in this world?"

If Wenquxing and Wuquxing are both on the side of the government and hostile to the other awakened ones, why is it that even someone like Bai Rusu doesn't know about the existence of these two great gods?

Zhongdou Xingjun sighed.

"Because sixty years ago, Wenquxing and Wuquxing went to Kunlun Heavenly Palace. When they returned, only the severely injured heads of Wenquxing and Wuquxing remained. For decades, Wenquxing has been suffering from a chronic illness and no one has shown their face. However, the three City Gods are all members of the Senate. They often band together to withstand the pressure from the Four Divine Beasts and help the government maintain its last dignity."

Kunlun Heavenly Palace is one of the forbidden zones for humans. Zhou Yan had heard before that this place was very dangerous, but now he knows just how dangerous it is.

With the passing of the two true gods, Wenquxing and Wuquxing, one dead and the other seriously injured, the team left behind by Little Yama has been reduced to ninety percent.

"However, the sacrifice of the Wenwu Quxing was not in vain."

Zhongdou Xingjun said with a sigh.

"They have found a way to resurrect the Little Yama King."

Chapter Thirty-Four: Eating

"Sir, your food has arrived."

The door to the private room that Zhongdou Xingjun had booked opened, and a waiter carrying a bowl of spicy blood curd and two other stir-fries came in. He then placed the spicy blood curd, shredded pork with green peppers, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes in front of Zhou Yan and Zhongdou Xingjun.

"I'll go get the food for you two."

The waiter smiled and left.

Zhongdou Xingjun picked up the chopsticks on the table, pierced the plastic seal of the cup and bowl with the chopsticks, took out the cup and bowl, and said to Zhou Yan.

"Try it! The soup base of this restaurant's Maoxuewang is made with beef tallow hot pot base. It's very fragrant. The old man fell in love with it as soon as he tasted it."

Zhou Yan also unwrapped the plastic seal on the bowls and chopsticks, then picked up a piece of duck blood with the chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

The taste was indeed rich, with the aroma of butter. The little fox, held in Zhou Yan's arms, clung to him with its two paws. Zhou Yan also picked up a piece of duck blood and put it into the little fox's mouth (the chopsticks did not touch its mouth).

The little fox chewed a few times, then coughed violently, spitting the duck blood foam from its mouth onto the ground.

Zhou Yan chuckled and patted the fox's head, then looked up at Zhong Dou Xingjun.

"So, you want to resurrect Little Yama and then suppress the awakened group led by the Four Divine Beasts?"

Zhongdou Xingjun asked in surprise.

"The Awakened Ones are one thing, but why suppress the Four Divine Beasts?"

Zhou Yan asked, puzzled.

"Isn't it the Four Divine Beasts that are backing up the Awakened Ones, leading to their lawlessness?"

Zhongdou Xingjun is pleased with this.

"You must have said those words to that bastard Yingzhao and that young master, right?"

Zhou Yan sensed something was off about what Zhongdou Xingjun was saying.

"What do you mean, sir?"

"What I mean is, that bastard Yingzhao has never been involved in politics or even bothered to understand how government works, so how dare he spout such nonsense about policies?"

Zhong Dou Xingjun stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a piece of duck blood, chewed it slowly, and then spoke.

"Young master, since you've been studying at the Vermilion Bird Academy for so long, you must have seen plenty of the ugly side of the Awakened, right? Don't you think the Awakened community in this world is too vile, too terrifying, practically a cancer on humanity?"

Zhou Yan nodded without saying a word.

Zhongdou Xingjun shook his head.

“Young sir, you are mistaken. The affairs of those low-level awakened beings are trivial matters. It’s too much trouble to even glance at them.”

Zhou Yan countered with a question.

"A disease as insignificant as a speck of dust?! The group that commits murder is a disease as insignificant as a speck of dust?"

Zhongdou Xingjun said matter-of-factly.

"Let me give you some data: the proportion of antisocial personality disorder in the Eastern Xia United States is 1%."

Here's some data: the prevalence of antisocial personality disorder in developed Western countries is 4.3-9.4%.

According to the latest psychological committee survey, the percentage of antisocial personality disorder in the Eastern Xia United States is only 1%, which is outstanding and morally exemplary among developed countries in the world. The reason for this may not be understood by many people. In the hammer and sickle nation of the other world, the moral cultivation and political ideology are that collective interests outweigh individual interests.

In democratic Western societies, the prevailing worldview prioritizes individual interests over collective interests, and sacrificing collective interests for personal gain is considered standard practice.

Zhongdou Xingjun picked up another piece of shredded green pepper and pork, put it in his mouth, and mumbled something indistinctly.

"And the number of awakened individuals is less than one in fifty thousand in our society, young master, do you understand? Instead of worrying about those awakened individuals, who are less than one in fifty thousand, committing crimes, you should be worried that there might be one or two antisocial classmates in your class of thirty who are planning to stab you."

Zhou Yan hesitated.

"Well, you can't say that. The power of awakened beings far surpasses that of humans. If they were to harm people..."

Zhongdou Xingjun interrupted.

“I participated in a meeting in the national security department, where the National Intelligence Agency gave me some data that said the average crime rate of awakened individuals was lower than that of antisocial criminals among ordinary people. In other words, compared to awakened individuals, antisocial criminals among humans are actually more malicious towards their own kind.”

Zhou Yan: "..."

Zhongdou Xingjun added another sentence.

"However, awakened individuals are generally granted bail and released without charge after committing crimes."

Zhou Yan wanted to argue back, but the thought quickly faded away.

Zhou Yan asked.

"How do you intend to explain this statement?"

Zhongdou Xingjun is pleased with this.

"My explanation is simple: the law is not meant to guarantee fairness, but to maintain order. And whose order is this?"

Zhongdou Xingjun pointed to the top of his head.

"It belongs to those members of Congress, and to those financial oligarchs who monopolize resources."

“Young sir, you may not understand, but in fact, the Four Divine Beasts are the pillars that support our country’s stability and prosperity, and the golden beams that span the sea.”

Zhou Yan reached out his hand.

"Appreciate further details."

The door to the private room opened at that moment, and a waiter walked in carrying a large wooden bucket.

"Sir, if there isn't enough food here, you can get more."

The waiter brought the food bucket to Zhou Yan's side.

Zhou Yan nodded to the waiter.

The waiter left the private room.

Zhongdou Xingjun pushed up his sunglasses, which had slipped down, and asked.

"Young sir, what do you think is the prerequisite for a country's stability?"

Chapter Thirty-Seven: A Wasted Life

Zhou Yan came out of the stir-fry shop, then took Su Xiaowan and rode the bicycles outside the shop back to Zhuque Academy.

There was supposed to be a close combat class in the afternoon, but Zhou Yan had completely severed ties with Wang Yang and the others, so there was no way he could attend the close combat class. There was no point in studying in a single classroom, so after returning to school, Zhou Yan could only go to his dormitory.

Once in his bedroom, after putting the little fox Su Xiaowan aside, Zhou Yan couldn't help but sigh.

To Zhou Yan's surprise, after listening to Zhongdou Xingjun's words, Zhou Yan thought he would be indignant and very angry, but he has remained quite calm all the way so far.

There was a knock on the door, followed by Lin Anru's voice.

"Junior Zhou, are you there?"

Zhou Yan stood up.

"They're here, wait a minute."

Zhou Yan walked to the dormitory door, opened it, and stood Lin Anru, dressed in a black suit and with a straight posture.

The little girl tilted her head to the side, crossed her arms over her chest, and held a small, cylindrical, completely transparent box in one hand, inside which was a pair of teeth.

Zhou Yan looked at Lin Anru and opened the girl's attribute panel.

Name: Lin Anru.

Age: 18.

Height: 170 cm.

Weight: 87 kg.

Blood type: O.

Ok?

Lin'an's attributes haven't changed, and its taming level...

"I do have a great figure."

Lin'an tossed her hair triumphantly.

Zhou Yan looked up and met Lin Anru's confident gaze.

"Anyway, I didn't show any skin, so you can look if you want, no need to cover up."

What Lin Anru couldn't understand most in her life were those women who covered everything except their necks, hands, and heads, as if they were afraid of being looked at too closely.

Zhou Yan: "..."

Zhou Yan shook his head.

"Let's put that aside for now. What do you want from me?"

Lin Anru uncrossed her arms and handed the completely transparent cylindrical box to Zhou Yan.

"These are the teeth of those two bastards, you can keep them."

Zhou Yan immediately thought of what Lin Anru had mentioned on her phone earlier—the two criminal men.

Zhou Yan took the cylindrical box and hesitated.

"died?"
