Chapter 24: God is cruel?

Can humans and demons coexist harmoniously?
If this question were asked to be answered by a disciple of the Shushan School in any fairy-tale setting, he would definitely not be able to answer it. Not only that, he would even yell "evil heretic!" and then chop the person who asked the question with a sword.

It should be said that in almost all myths, legends, and novel settings related to monsters, monsters are born bad species, eating human flesh, drinking human blood, wearing human skin, sucking yang energy and essence, and cheating on people's feelings. Anyway, it seems that the purpose of these things' existence is to confront and sabotage humans.

When we talk about the demon clan, we are talking about a blood feud.

The second thing about the demon race is the racial war.

Third, when it comes to the demon clan, it’s either you or me.

But in fact, if you think about it carefully, you will find a problem:
How come tigers, leopards, jackals, sheep, rabbits, fish, birds, and even flowers, plants, and trees, all these completely different species, are actually counted as monsters?

On what basis is this ethnic group divided?

In other words, why are all creatures other than humans considered "demons"? Why do "demons" have to be enemies of humans?

Why is it that everyone except me is driving against the flow on the highway? (Confused)
After ruling out the possibility that a certain deus ex machina intervened and forced all races to put aside the conflict between predators and prey and collectively confront the human race, there can only be one answer:

Is there a possibility, I mean possible... that everyone has formed such an unprecedented united front against the human race not because everyone has eaten too much and is feeling bloated, but because the human race really has huge problems and has therefore incurred public anger?
Of course, this is just a possibility, not absolute...

After all, the universal exemption formula:

The more the enemy opposes me, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing, because I have hit him where it hurts!
The more my friend opposes me, the more it shows that I am right, because this friend is a fake friend!
Tatakai! Tatakai! Keep touching Tatakai! Those who oppose me are my enemies. It must be their fault. They don’t understand me. It’s definitely not my problem!

Because demons are born evil, we can rob their cubs to use as mounts without any psychological burden, so killing demons to make elixirs is natural, and the natural treasures guarded by demons are obtained by chance for us human cultivators.

What? You dare to resist? Use your sharp teeth, claws and venom to hurt others?

You are born evil! You didn't just give me your treasure and then use your life to gain experience for me, and you dared to fight back?!
Do you know what destiny means? You are just a group of NPCs, yet you dare to go against destiny...

In fact, most of the conflicts between monsters and humans come from this. There is no hatred without reason, especially when everyone in the world hates me except me, then I am probably not innocent.

If you think carefully about the common settings in fairy tales, when monks capture monster cubs, it can actually be understood as child trafficking, and they often rob the cubs by killing the entire family.

When a monk goes to a dungeon to kill monsters and steal treasures, it can actually be understood as breaking into a house and killing people.

The monks formed a group to rob the natural treasures guarded by the monsters, which can actually be understood as a gangster robbing a house...

Thinking about it this way, it would be strange if the demons did not target humans after they acquired human consciousness.

Zhao Si had no doubt at all that if the prehistoric human race really ascended to the dominant position as the protagonist of heaven and earth, the above things would definitely happen!

After all, when you are the protagonist recognized by heaven, other species become NPCs. Is there really a protagonist who would treat NPCs as human beings?

Even if it does happen, it is only an individual behavior. The entire protagonist race will exist as a large ruling class. There are only individuals who betray the class, but no class that betrays the class.

Class is synonymous with oppression and exploitation...

As the representative of the current ruling class in the prehistoric world, it is naturally impossible to expect Di Jun to be willing to eliminate classes, after all, there are real conflicts of interest.

But as a great leader with a broad mind, he himself has no racial consciousness. This can be seen from the fact that the name of the heaven he established is not "Golden Crow Heaven" or "Bird Heaven", but "Demon Heaven". At least in his definition, no matter which race, they are all within the concept of "demon". He is doing something that can fundamentally change the climate of the prehistoric world. He is trying to erase the different racial consciousnesses since ancient times and try to create a more abstract and broader "common collective consciousness of the demon race" to replace the conservative consciousness of small tribes such as the "tiger tribe" and the "dragon tribe".

Di Jun only hopes that there will be class distinctions in the prehistoric world, but not racial distinctions!

But ideals are full and reality is very skinny, because the objective difference between tigers, wolves and lambs exists in the prehistoric times, and dragons and phoenixes would never think that they are of the same clan as snakes and birds, not to mention innate creatures like Guangchengzi who claim to be superior to demons.

They mocked Emperor Jun, and they were right:

According to your theory, Nuwa is also a demon, the Three Pure Ones are also demons, Hongjun is also a demon, and even Pangu has become a demon...

There is a reason why Di Jun was ridiculed. The collective consciousness of "demon race" has not been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

In fact, even Di Jun himself admitted that the effect of implementing this system was not good.

However, the emergence of the human race is something that Emperor Jun cannot tolerate!
Because the human race is the protagonist of the world, it has truly trampled on the concept of "racial equality":

What racial equality? I am the protagonist personally certified by the Heavenly Dao. Don’t I understand my position?

I have been promoting "equality among the demon race" and "love and solidarity as a family" for my whole life, but now a "celestial dragon" has really appeared, and you want me to calm down? ! !
[Di Jun, who firmly believed in your Zixiao Palace background, finally confessed his pain and resentment to you. ]

[“The inequality between innate divine beings and acquired beings actually stems from their cultivation. As long as their cultivation is strong enough, there is no inequality at all. All gaps can be made up with strength.”]

[However, the human race, which has been stamped by the Heavenly Dao, is truly "above all demons"! This is a true essential inequality that cannot be made up for by cultivation.]

[Species equality? How ridiculous, your protagonist even showed up! ]

[Emperor Jun's resentment was deeper and wider than the East China Sea. He could not understand what this "protagonist of destiny" was, nor could he understand why the Heaven had gone crazy and actually created a hierarchy based on species differences.]

[“Tai Qing once said that Heaven’s Way is unkind and treats all things as straw dogs. This means that Heaven’s Way is impartial and does not show special kindness or preference to any person or thing. But why has Heaven’s Way changed now?”]

[“Is it that the Way of Heaven has changed, or has it always been like this?” Di Jun muttered to himself. It was obvious that his Dao heart was unstable…]

[“Did the teacher do something?” Di Jun seemed to be asking you, but also seemed to be asking himself. ]

[You just pulled the skin of Zixiao Palace, and now you are sweating profusely...]

[Fortunately, Di Jun didn’t really intend to ask you anything. After telling you the reason for the massacre that you were curious about, Di Jun threw the question back to you.]

[“If you were the Emperor of Heaven, facing the issue of the human race and the demon race, what would you choose?” Di Jun asked, with expectation in his tone.]

【your choice:(?)】

[A: Slide down on your knees. Heaven's will cannot be violated. Being a dog of the human race is a beautiful thing! B: Start slaughtering. Heaven's will cannot be violated? Celestial Dragons, die! Eliminate all human beings without leaving a single one alive! C: Go against Heaven. Heaven is unkind and treats all things as straw dogs. If Heaven has any preference, then Heaven is wrong! ]
