Chapter 288 Humanity's Pursuit of Freedom
When various ethnic groups declared independence
A furious roar echoed from the Lingxiao Palace in the Nine Heavens, signifying the loss of the Heavenly Emperor's majesty and the severe damage to his power.
The Heavenly Court was founded on the consensus of the demon race, but now that consensus has been shaken and some groups have broken away to become independent.
Demon Master Palace
Kunpeng, in his lazy cultivation, self-destructed his Quasi-Saint Dao Fruit, thus abandoning the method of severing the Three Corpses.
The Great Dao of Severing Corpses originated from the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, so no one understands it as deeply as this True Saint.
At crucial moments, the Dao Ancestor can influence the Three Corpses.
It is extremely difficult for a Great Luo Golden Immortal to break through to the Primordial Chaos Realm. Dao Ancestor Hongjun provided a method, but this required paying a price.
Reforge the Demon Refining Pot to draw upon the luck and resources of the demon race.
Kong Xuan approached with a complex expression, his five-colored feather robes fluttering. The Phoenix Clan prince laughed and said, "Master, something has happened, something very serious."
Seeing this, Kunpeng laughed and scolded, "Don't gloat, or you'll be in trouble if the Heavenly Emperor suspects us of plotting behind the scenes."
"Master, you are overthinking it! We are already under suspicion because the human race uses many pretexts, one of which is freedom."
Human independence
Humans yearn for freedom and do not wish to be bound by the Heavenly Court.
The concept of freedom has taken root in the hearts of all the powerful races. When they raise the banner of independence, freedom is one of their slogans.
Kunpeng remained silent. There were threads of cause and effect on the Demon Refining Pot, so he naturally knew the choice of the human race.
When humans are weak, they yearn to rely on strong races.
After becoming stronger, the human race hoped to achieve independence.
If humanity is strong enough, then we hope to establish a Heavenly Court.
Humanity initially had no lofty ideals; it was merely a matter of survival. However, as circumstances changed, humanity developed higher goals, ultimately aiming to unify the primordial world.
Kong Xuan said in a low voice, "The Heavenly Emperor cultivates the Great Dao of Power; he cannot stand by and watch the demon race fall apart."
Kunpeng said calmly, "The demon race was formed because of oppression, and it will naturally disband when the pressure disappears. Since it was founded, it will also perish."
Kong Xuan hesitated and said, "Master, you are one of the founders of the demon race. Can you bear to watch the demon race decline and perish?"
"Alas, when the demon race was founded, we could place many ideals and ideals upon it. But now, the demon race has established a Heavenly Court for many years, and the concept of the demon race has become rigid, making it impossible to persuade many beings to join!"
"Yes, the demon race now has a hierarchy, and many of its rules are similar to those of the gods."
Ding ding ding
The bell tolled sharply; it was the Chaos Bell, which was only rung when the demon race was in crisis.
Demon Emperors Assemble
Demon Emperors Assemble
Demon King attends the meeting
shhhhhh
The powerful demons went to the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons, which was the highest institution of the demon race.
Demon Emperor's Gathering, Demon King's Gathering, Demon King's Gathering...
The powerful demons arrived by teleportation, cloud-riding, and sword-flying.
Powerful figures from various clans, including the Golden Crow Clan, Jade Rabbit Clan, Jade Toad Clan, Teng Snake Clan, and Dragon Clan, arrived.
The demon race is a concept, an imagined community, which is now filled with small groups.
A demon emperor represents a large mountain, a demon lord represents a medium-sized mountain, and a demon king represents a small mountain.
Eight imperial thrones are placed above, surrounded by the throne of the emperor, with the position of the demon king on the outermost perimeter.
The Demon Emperor's throne is ten zhang tall, the Demon King's throne is nine zhang tall, and the Demon King's throne is eight zhang, seven zhang, and so on, with varying heights.
The Heavenly Emperor Di Jun is majestic and powerful. He is one of the Demon Emperors and the ruler of the Heavenly Court.
The arrival of Kunpeng signifies the start of the highest-level meeting of the demon race, a meeting to discuss the future of the demon race.
Nuwa closed her eyes and sat in meditation, while Fuxi bowed his head and adjusted the corner of his clothes.
Empress Xihe rose to her feet, utterly enraged, and declared, "Since the founding of the demon race, for countless ages, we have been constantly expanding, assimilating all races into the demon race. We have abandoned racial prejudices and established a unique demon race."
"Now that humans and others have become independent, they do so without warning or reporting it."
"This is a betrayal of the demon race and a disregard for the Heavenly Court; we must take decisive action."
The Empress was furious that the path to power had been cut, as it concerned her spiritual cultivation.
To achieve the Great Golden Immortal realm of the Heavenly Empress and attain ultimate power, she needs all living beings in the primordial world to relinquish a portion of their power; this is the foundation of her path to power. (Read thousands of excellent books, including "The Carefree Kunpeng of the Primordial World.")
Without the right to relinquish the power to all living beings below, the Queen Mother will lose her authority and be unable to attain the status of a Primordial Golden Immortal.
Laws and regulations
Power and political maneuvering are the foundation of the Empress's great path.
To withdraw from the demon race and refuse to acknowledge the rule of the Heavenly Court is to signify the loss of power.
Upon hearing this, the Azure Emperor Fuxi smiled and said, "When the demon race was founded, there was an agreement that all races could freely withdraw from the demon race and the Heavenly Court."
Empress Xihe angrily said, "Hmph, all races that withdraw from the demon race and the Heavenly Court must go through the approval process."
Fuxi retorted angrily, "What do you need to approve when all the tribes are happy to see this?"
"Fuxi, do you intend to watch the demon race collapse and be forever oppressed by the witch race?"
"Xihe, stop talking about the demon race. Although you are the Empress, you cannot represent the demon race."
Fuxi and Xihe were arguing.
The demon emperors fell silent, and the demon kings all bowed their heads, not daring to respond.
To mediate the conflicts among the Demon Emperors, one must at least be a Demon Emperor.
The Purple Star Demon Emperor comforted Fuxi, and Changxi persuaded Xihe, thus temporarily ending the dispute.
The Eastern Emperor's throne does not have Taiyi, but only the Eastern Emperor Bell, a treasure acquired later in life, which is riddled with cracks.
Di Jun asked solemnly, "Demon Master, what do you think?"
Kunpeng said leisurely, "There's not much point in us arguing. Why don't we let the independent races come up and express their grievances and complaints? If we can't reach an agreement, then we can make other plans."
half an hour later
Suirenshi, Taotie, Qiongqi and others arrived at the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons.
They were once members of the Demon Emperor's Society and generals of the Heavenly Court, but now they have chosen to betray the demon race and leave the Heavenly Court.
Now that they have successfully severed their corpses, they have become powerful Primordial Golden Immortals, surpassing the strength of the Ten Great Demon Generals of the Demon Race.
Gouchen, Baihu, Xuanwu, and others remained silent.
The Demon Master said in a calm tone, "Tell me, why do you want to leave the demon race and the Heavenly Court?"
Upon hearing this, Taotie sincerely asked, "May I ask the Heavenly Court, why do you keep eating dragon liver? I have repeatedly emphasized that we should not eat dragons to prolong our lives, but no one cares about the opinions of the dragons."
Qiongqi roared, "I've repeatedly reported this to the authorities, urging them not to consume phoenix marrow for longevity, but you simply don't care!"
The End of Dharma Era
The path to immortality is fraught with three calamities and nine difficulties.
Immortals and demons need to prolong their lives, and dragon liver and phoenix marrow are the most common treasures for this purpose, and are among the delicacies of the Heavenly Court.
If they don't eat dragon liver and phoenix marrow, many demons and immortals will die.
If one were to consume dragon liver and phoenix marrow, both the dragon and phoenix clans would object.
Since the end of the Dharma era, both the dragon and phoenix clans have opposed the consumption of dragon liver and phoenix marrow, but their opposition has always been ignored.
Emperor Gouchen spoke up: "The Qilin clan is unwilling to be mounts. Even if some of them volunteer to be mounts, that is not a reason for all Qilin to be mounts of the Heavenly Court."
"The Golden Crow Clan monopolizes 80% of the sunlight, while the Jade Rabbit Clan enjoys 90% of the moonlight. Our clan's access to the power of the sun, moon, and stars has been drastically reduced for many years. With such unfair distribution, what kind of demon clan are we?"
Empress Xihe retorted angrily, "Hmph, my demon race is not afraid of hardship. What's a little hardship compared to defeating the witch race?"
"Empress, you don't have to suffer, and neither does your Jade Rabbit Clan. We're the only ones suffering; what kind of fairness is that?"
"The actions of the Heavenly Emperor and Empress do not require explanation to you."
in a few days
The Palace of Ten Thousand Demons was silent.
The conflict between the demon race was made public
The demon emperors remained silent, the demon kings coughed, and the demon kings trembled with fear!
The demon race is a pyramid, with the top level controlling 70% of the resources, and it continues to expand.
Suiren finally spoke: "The demon race is innocent, but the Heavenly Court wants to exterminate them, which is unfair. The human race accepted the demon race, but the Heavenly Court blocked human resources, leaving the human race with no choice but to become independent."
The diva angrily retorted, "Does the human race also want to be wiped out?"
Suirenshi laughed and said, "Resources are precious, but life is even more valuable. However, for the sake of freedom, both can be given up."
Kunpeng clapped alone.
