Chapter 28 Abdication
[The aura of disaster is everywhere, hostility is born, and the struggle is getting more and more intense. 】

[If a demon kills one person, humans will kill ten demons in return! Even if the ten demons have no grudges against him, he will kill them anyway, in order to shock the demons into killing. After all, humans are superior to demons, so even if one life is worth ten lives, humans will still feel at a disadvantage.]

[But unprovoked violence cannot solve this problem, it will only lead to more extreme violence in return! ]

[In the 370th year of the Demonic Calendar, a tiger demon attacked a village in the Eastern Wasteland. A celestial-level tiger demon rushed into the human village, wantonly attacking civilians and successfully destroying the village.]

[In the 370th year of the Demon Calendar, the 11th year of the 6th year, a demon-killing operation broke out in the Northern Wasteland. Thousands of humans attacked a wolf demon settlement. All adult and half-adult wolf demons were slaughtered, and only a few young wolves with immature intelligence were captured as slaves.]

[In the 370th year of the Demonic Calendar, the 12th year of the Demonic Calendar, the Southern Wild Feathered Tribe attacked the human race’s city. Two Golden Immortals fought each other, and the aftermath destroyed the city. More than 100,000 people died from both tribes.]

[In the 372nd year of the Demon Calendar, the demons of the Western Wasteland formed an alliance and jointly swept through all the human villages and cities in the Western Wasteland. In order to express their contempt and discrimination towards the human race, they even openly ate humans, denying the human race's human rights and only considering them as food.]

[Demon calendar...]

The situation is getting worse and worse, and the contradiction is gradually escalating!

"So, where is Di Jun? Where is Tian Ting? Where is the protagonist Jin Bing?"

Zhao Si keenly discovered the blind spot from the information about the two tribes killing each other:
From the beginning to the end, the leaders of both sides never left the scene, and the conflicts and massacres were limited to the middle and lower classes.

Where is the Heavenly Law? Where is the God of Justice?
This is a massive massacre, the order of the prehistoric world has been shattered, and you don't care?!

So what are they doing?
The answer is:
[In contrast to the slaughter and wailing in the prehistoric world, a small banquet was being held in the Heavenly Palace Xinjing on Shouyang Mountain. The participants included Emperor Dijun, Emperor Taiyi, Sun Yu Xihe, Wangshu Changxi, Heavenly Concubine Yinglong, Demon Master Kunpeng, as well as Demon Saints such as Ji Meng and Fei Lian and the Star Lords of the Heavens.]

【And... the human chieftain, you. 】

[Among them, the one who laughed the happiest was neither Di Jun nor Tai Yi, but your master, Sun Star Lord! ]

[The Sun Star Lord laughed loudly, saying that he had not made a mistake in judging you. You are truly a pillar of the demon race. Thanks to you for encouraging the human race to actively participate in the war and not allowing anyone to fear death and hide, otherwise the saints would have protected the human race long ago, and it would not be possible for them to fight so smoothly now.]

[When the human race is defeated by the demon race, your contribution will be greater than the sky. In the future, he is even willing to give you the position of Sun Star Lord so that he can live a quiet life! ]

[When you heard this good news, you didn’t show any joy as if you had finally made progress. Instead, you just felt absent-minded and had a sad look on your face…]

“What on earth have I done?”

[You have been tortured by your own heart countless times. As soon as you close your eyes, you can hear the cries and pleas of countless humans and demons... You did it all. You did all of this...]

[Emperor Jun saw that you were haunted by inner demons, but he didn't have any good solutions. After all, planning was one thing, and causing the consequences of massacres with your own hands was another... But he still comforted you and told you not to think too much. With the merits you have accumulated in the human race, as long as you don't think about it, no inner demons can affect you! ]

[But, is it really possible not to think about it? Merit is magical, but it is not omnipotent...]

[In order to dispel your inner demons, Emperor Jun pondered for a long time, and then issued an edict in front of all the important figures in the Heavenly Court. ]

[“I feel that I have failed to live up to the Way of Heaven, and I wish to abdicate the throne of Heavenly Emperor to Jin Bing of the Dragon Clan. I now appoint Jin Bing as the Crown Prince. After all the humans have been slaughtered, you can help the new emperor ascend the throne!”]

[As soon as the imperial edict was issued, everyone was shocked. Taiyi and Kunpeng kept saying no, and the Sun Star Lord even cried loudly and knelt down to ask His Majesty to revoke the order! ]

[But Emperor Jun was very determined. He ignored everyone's dissuasion and insisted on writing a decree to pass on the throne to you.]

[You were stunned by this sudden surprise, looking at the imperial edict, you didn't know what to do, your hands and feet were not flexible.]

[Faced with the imperial edict of succession, what will you choose (?)]

[A: Rejected.]

Zhao Si:?

"Wait a minute... I didn't skip the plot. I haven't even been a proper celestial official. How come I'm suddenly going to ascend the throne and become an emperor?!"

Zhao Si was stunned. One reason was that he couldn't understand the development trend of the plot, and the other was the options given by the game:

"Weren't there always two or more options before? Why is there only one this time? What should I choose?!"

In desperation, Zhao Si had to click on the only option: [Faced with the edict of succession, you choose option A, refuse.]

[You immediately knelt down and said that you had no merit or virtue, and dared not covet the throne, and asked His Majesty to withdraw the order. ]

[Emperor Jun remains unmoved and continues to hand you the imperial edict. What do you choose (?)]

[A: Rejected.]

"There is still only one option..."

Zhao Si had no choice but to refuse again.

[Faced with the edict of succession, you choose option A and refuse. ]

[You continue to argue that the Emperor of Heaven is the respected position that all people look up to. How can the Emperor of Heaven bear to abandon all people? ]

[Emperor Jun remains unmoved and continues to hand it to you. What do you choose?]

[A: Rejected.]

Zhao Si: …

OK, I’ll order!

[Faced with the edict of succession, you choose option A and refuse. ]

[You sobbed and knelt on the ground, saying that the ten Golden Crow princes were born not long ago, and even if the Emperor of Heaven wanted to abdicate, the princes should succeed him. You are willing to serve the new emperor wholeheartedly and would never dare to have any unreasonable thoughts! ]

[When mentioning his own sons, Emperor Jun snorted coldly and finally spoke, saying that the ten little ones were too naughty and unruly to be of any use. Without their father's supervision, who knows how much trouble they would cause, and they must not be allowed to succeed to the throne.]

[No longer under the supervision of his father? ]

[You looked at the Emperor of Heaven with a bewildered look on your face, not knowing why he said that. Unexpectedly, Di Jun smiled and said that he would soon attain the status of a saint, and would then go to the Primal Chaos to open up a Taoist temple, so it would naturally be inconvenient for him to continue to serve as the Emperor of Heaven. When you become the Emperor of Heaven in the future, you must help him take care of his sons.]

[As he spoke, Emperor Jun handed over the imperial edict again. What do you choose?]

[A: I thought to myself, "I have completed the three-rejection and three-decline process. I will not be polite now. I will definitely treat the son of the late emperor well in the future!" On the surface, I took the imperial edict carefully. ]

Wow, it turns out they are following the process!

Zhao Si couldn't bear to look at it. No wonder there was only one option for the three options. After all this time, it turned out to be a "three times of giving up and three times of resigning" abdication process...

"So, you really want me to be the Emperor of Heaven?"

Zhao Si still couldn't quite understand the logic behind this. Logically, even if Di Jun wanted to abdicate, he would give priority to his younger brother Donghuang Taiyi, or at worst the demon master Kunpeng would do. There were so many powerful people in heaven who could inherit the throne of the Emperor of Heaven, why did it have to fall on me?
Zhao's thoughts don't make sense.

Secondly, Di Jun said that he was about to become a saint. Isn’t this nonsense? !

Anyone who has read prehistoric literature knows that to become a saint in prehistoric times one must have the "Hongmeng Purple Qi", which was only bestowed by Daozu Hongjun during the three lectures in Zixiao Palace.

The Six Saints were six direct disciples, and each of them had a ray of purple energy. After they became saints, they used it up and there was no more.

Could it be that Di Jun found Hongjun, a wholesaler, and got new purple energy from him?
This shouldn't be possible...

"unless……"

Zhao Si was suddenly shocked. Has he been forgetting someone?
Someone who has a weak sense of existence, but has heard the Zixiao Palace preaching, and even received an extra primordial purple energy, but is the number one enemy in the prehistoric world who has not become a saint...

"Red Cloud?!"
