Chapter 23 Who Are You Helping?
"Give an order? Give a hammer order!"

Looking at the first option, Zhao Si almost laughed out of anger:

What strength do you have? You're rebelling.

What is the level of the human race now? There are only a few Xuanxians, and you, Jin Bing and other small bastards, are the chiefs here. Can you surpass the Heavenly Palace?

"B!"

[If you choose option B, you will fall to your knees at lightning speed, feel helpless, and personally go to heaven to apologize and investigate the whole matter.]

[You bid farewell to the panicked Runren of the Jie and Chan sects, and rejected Erbaiwu's suggestion to take the blame and escape. After comforting the people of the human race and saying that you would go to heaven to plead for the people, you resolutely went to heaven alone.]

[The first thing you should do when you arrive in Heaven is to immediately find your master, the Sun Star Lord, and ask him to help you solve your doubts.]

[Unexpectedly, the Sun Star Lord didn't care about your personal safety at all. He only praised you for your talent, understanding and opportunity, and said that you were an excellent seedling for the immortal path. He really didn't make a mistake in you. In just eight years, you became a golden immortal and your bloodline was upgraded to become an orthodox Azure Dragon! ]

[However, you have no intention of listening to his useless nonsense. You are anxious to know why the Emperor of Heaven wants to slaughter innocent humans.]

[“Look at you, you’re anxious again!” Sun Star Lord nonchalantly scolded you, then smiled and comforted you, saying that this matter had nothing to do with you, you don’t have to worry about anything, just wait for promotion, he has already made arrangements with the Emperor of Heaven, Taibai Star Lord is still short of a second-in-command, you will be transferred to take up the post in a few days, and after a few more years, you can become a regular star god on a remote star! ]

[The benefits he promised are very tempting, but they are obviously not as good as the merits of the human race. As you have already decided to tie yourself to the human race, you don't care about promotion within the heavenly system at all.]

[However, you also keenly heard the hidden meaning in the master's words: "This matter only targets the human race, you will be fine.", "Don't panic, I have found a new employer for you", "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask." To be fair, although the Sun Star Lord is a sycophant, he is a really good master. ]

[You know the master is keeping you in the dark on purpose. He does this to protect you, but this is not what you are seeking when you come to heaven.]

[So you bid farewell to the Sun Star Lord and continue to ask people for the reason.]

[My former classmates shook their heads and said they didn’t know.]

[The familiar celestial officials dared not speak.]

[You have no other choice but to plead guilty to Emperor Jun directly...]

[You humbly kneel before the Emperor of Heaven and ask him to withdraw his decree.]

[The Emperor looked at you for a while, his eyes full of thought, and then asked you a question for no apparent reason: "Who is behind you?"]

[You are sweating profusely...]

[Faced with the Emperor's question, you feel very uneasy. What do you choose?]

[A: I am a nimble dog from Kunlun Mountain! B: I am a pure dragon from the Eight Divisions that broke into the Heavenly Palace from the Western Religion, and I received fifty innate spiritual treasures from the Saint Zhunti! C: Since you all know this, I won’t act anymore! That’s right, I am the famous lackey of Nuwa! D: Why can’t it be the mysterious force Zixiao Palace outside the prehistoric world? E: There is no two suns in the sky, and in my heart there is only one sun, the Emperor of Heaven! ]

First of all, Di Jun’s straightforward statement caught Zhao Si off guard. He had originally been thinking of buying time for development, but now he was in trouble!

People have asked me in person, you can't just laugh it off and brush it off, right?
The second is the black mass of options:

"Five options? This is a first."

Zhao Si was shocked when he saw five options. In the past, he only had two options. If he rejected both, he could come up with his own strategy. Now there were five options, which meant that he might die five times in a row...

"Among the five answers, the first one points to the Three Pure Ones, the second one points to the Two Saints of the West, the third one is Nuwa, the fourth one is Hongjun, and the fifth one is Emperor Jun himself... Which one do you choose?"

After hesitating for a while, Zhao Si considered the safest option:
"E! Slide down on your knees when you are undecided."

[You choose option E. There is no two suns in the sky. In my heart, there is only one sun, the Emperor of Heaven!] [Faced with your kneeling surrender, Emperor Jun frowned: "You are not loyal."]

[Thinking that you were trying to fool him, Emperor Jun threw you directly into the Heavenly Prison... Soon after, the massacre went on as planned. Amid the blood and tears of the human race, you were put on the demon-slaying platform and sentenced to death by the God of Justice for "disloyalty."]

[You died. The wrong choice led to the wrong ending...]

"Really? They'll kill you even if you surrender?"

Zhao Sima is paralyzed and cannot surrender. Doesn't that mean he must find a saint to back him up?

The point is that I haven't gotten close to any saint! What do you want me to say?
"No, I need to analyze it..."

Zhao Si, who didn't want to die five times in a row, began to analyze seriously:
It was obvious that Di Jun had determined that he was not one of his people. It seemed that his behavior among the human race had exceeded his tolerance limit.

And this time the edict to massacre people was most likely caused by the disciples of Jiechan. After all, these idiots who are so eager to get their noses in the air came all the way to the human race to do voluntary labor, which is problematic just to think about it.

Considering the recent movements of the saints, it is hard for Emperor Jun not to discover the uniqueness of the human race and start a massacre.

Therefore, in the eyes of Di Jun, the protagonist Jin Bing is no longer loyal. Instead, he is most likely a spy supported by some saint!
At this juncture, it would be best if Zhao Si could really put on the saint's skin, so that perhaps Di Jun would be cautious and save his life.

The most taboo thing is the sliding kneeling behavior just now. When the Emperor of Heaven suspects that there is a big shot standing behind you, you'd better admit it. If you don't admit it and continue to blindly offer your loyalty, he will think you are trying to evade him and simply chop him off with a knife...

"Row!"

Zhao Si, who had figured it out, looked at the options pointing to different saints, and suddenly realized:
"In fact, I can survive no matter which one I choose, but different choices will determine the attitude of the Emperor of Heaven towards me..."

If you choose the Three Pure Ones, you can basically get out, because the Heavenly Court was originally attracted by the firepower of the disciples of Jie and Chan this time. If it is confirmed that they are colluding with the Three Pure Ones, the best outcome can only be to be exiled to their hometown and trapped to death.

Choosing the two saints from the West is not much better, and they are even more incompatible with the Heavenly Court!
Choosing Nuwa is equivalent to directly declaring that you are on the side of the human race...

So... Hongjun?
Zhao Si tried to click:
[You chose option D, why can't it be the mysterious force Zixiao Palace outside the prehistoric world? ]

[Faced with Di Jun's question, you raised your hand and pointed upwards, and then stopped talking, because too much talk would lead to mistakes, so you didn't dare to say too much. Of course, it was definitely not because you were afraid of the Purple Sky Divine Thunder...]

【Emperor Jun: ……】

[Di Jun looked at your gesture in surprise, and then his whole body was shocked... When he looked at you again, the suspicion in his eyes disappeared, replaced by relief.]

[You don't know why he dared to believe this outrageous answer, but Di Jun believed it without a doubt. Then he slowly asked you a question: "If the human race and the demon race are destined to be hostile, and you are the ruler of the heaven, what would you do?"]

【you:……】

[You fell into deep thought, not only because of the Emperor's question, but also because this question really touched your heart.]

[“Who should I choose to help?”]

[A big question arises in your mind, and this question has been planted for a long time. 】

[Human? Monster?]

[Quietly, the answer you have always wanted to know is revealed. The slaughter of the human race was not a sudden brainwave by Emperor Jun, nor was it because the human race was incompetent or barbaric and backward. It was simply a strategic decision made by Emperor Jun based on the overall interests, because in his eyes, monsters and humans cannot coexist harmoniously! ]
