silence
The Heavenly Palace of Ten Thousand Demons was deathly silent. Humans and other races voiced their grievances and demanded to break away and become independent.
Kunpeng stopped clapping, ignoring the admonitory looks from the Heavenly Emperor and Empress.
Snapped
The Demon Emperor Changxi slammed her hand on the table, and the empress with waist-length black hair roared, "Hmph, why can't you all understand the difficulties the Heavenly Court faces?"
Taotie Emperor complained: "Difficulties? What difficulties do you have? We bear the hard work and the costs, while you Golden Crow Clan and Jade Rabbit Clan are high and mighty."
Empress Xihe roared in fury, "The demon race is not afraid of hardship; the Golden Crow and the Dragon race simply have different roles."
Suirenshi did not argue with the Demon Emperor, but instead asked earnestly, "When you joined the demon race years ago, you promised that you could leave freely. Does the demon race now honor that promise?"
Di Jun said in a deep voice, "They're just some pieces of waste paper; they have no practical significance."
The Heavenly Emperor and Empress do not agree to the separation of humans and others from the demon race.
The demon race is composed of many elements, and if humans and other races were to leave, it would inevitably affect the strength of the demon race.
The demon race, the Heavenly Court, and power are closely related.
Suiren remained silent, knowing that the Heavenly Court was unreasonable, but he hadn't expected it to be completely unreasonable.
Before joining the demon race, everything was agreed upon, but now they don't acknowledge it anymore.
suddenly
Fuxi said in a deep voice, "Now, let's vote by raising our hands. Those who agree to the human race's withdrawal, please raise your hands."
The Demon Kings will vote by raising their hands. Thirty percent will agree to the human race separating from the demon race, thirty percent will oppose the human race separating from the demon race, and the remaining kings will abstain.
The Demon Emperor will vote by raising his hand. Unlike the Taiyi Golden Immortal Demon King, the Daluo Golden Immortal Demon Emperor is more independent.
Half of the demon emperors agreed to the human race's separation, while the other half opposed it.
The key lies in the vote of the Demon Emperor Council.
Opposing side: Heavenly Emperor Di Jun, Heavenly Empress Xi He, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, Demon Emperor Chang Xi.
Those who agree: Nuwa, Fuxi, Kunpeng, Ziwei.
The vote was a tie, and Suirenshi was sweating profusely; it was a barely acceptable result.
When the vote results were announced, the opposing side was shocked.
Empress Xihe immediately changed her tune: "Suirenshi, as long as you continue to choose to stay in the demon race, the treatment of humans will be doubled."
Fuxi said in a deep voice, "Suirenshi, make your decision now: will you leave or stay?"
Suirenshi was under immense pressure and finally responded with difficulty: "From this day forward, the human race will separate itself from the demon race."
Emperor Jun said sternly, "Very well, since the human race has chosen to break away from the demon race, the Heavenly Court will not stop them. But Suiren, you must remember one thing: you are not allowed to join forces with the witch race."
"I, Suirenshi, swear today that if I ever join the Wu tribe or unite with them to attack the Heavenly Court, I will suffer a terrible death!"
After speaking
Heaven bears witness to the oath. Suirenshi left the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons, his body completely soaked.
As the leader of the demon dragon clan, Taotie also chose to leave the demon clan and regain its independent status.
The four divine beasts and the four ferocious beasts successfully escaped.
The Heavenly Emperor's power was greatly reduced, and the Heavenly Empress's power was weakened.
One powerful race after another broke away from the Heavenly Court, and Kong Xuan, as the representative of the Phoenix Clan, also chose to break away from the Demon Clan.
Di Jun, Xi He, and others looked pale and their breaths were steadily weakening.
The Kunpeng's aura slowly increased, nourishing the Great Dao of Freedom and Unfettered Spirit, and the path to becoming a Primordial Golden Immortal appeared.
Seeing this, Nuwa sighed softly, "All living beings have a desire for freedom, but it is difficult for them to take action, and true freedom is even more rare."
Kunpeng said calmly, "It's alright. Once free will spreads, the flame of freedom will be hard to extinguish."
Fuxi hesitated and said, "To pave the path to becoming a Primordial Golden Immortal with the free will and carefree spirit of all living beings is a slim hope, because we are always in shackles."
"Hehehe, Fuxi, how can you appreciate the value of freedom without being bound by shackles?"
"Fate, time, space, and death all dislike freedom and ease. Your path is difficult; you are destined to be an enemy of many powerful beings."
"I have no fear. I'm the one walking this path, so let others talk."
in a few days
The news that humans and other races had broken away from the demon race spread throughout the prehistoric world, astonishing all forces, large and small.
The Heavenly Court of the Demon Race was already powerful, but now it is suddenly embroiled in internal strife, and many races have broken away from the Heavenly Court.
The Wu tribe began to win over other tribes, using both coercion and enticement to get them to join them, but no tribe chose to join the Wu tribe.
The twelve ancestral witches did not understand at first, but gradually learned the truth.
"Heh, the Witch Clan's Underworld is not even as good as the Heavenly Court."
"The Wu tribe values bloodlines; those without Wu blood are ultimately outsiders."
"Ghost immortals don't have many choices, which is why they sided with Houtu instead of joining the underworld witch clan."
At the same time
The Pangu Temple of the Wu Clan, the Heart of Pangu has been obtained by Houtu.
As Pangu's heart pounded, Houtu advanced towards becoming a Primordial Golden Immortal, her physical body surging with power.
As time goes by, Houtu will eventually become a Primordial Golden Immortal, able to create a small primordial world within her body.
With Houtu acting as a check on Nuwa, the Wu tribe finally felt secure.
The Great Witch Chi You was being scrutinized by the Witch Clan's higher-ups because the Witch-Slaying Sword originated from the Witch-Human Clan, which became the Witch Clan's weakness.
"Chi You, do you also intend to leave the underworld and lead the Wuren race back to the human race?"
Upon hearing this, Chi You smiled bitterly and said, "Ancestral Witch, I am utterly loyal to the Witch Clan and have never considered betraying them!"
"We believe in you, Chi You, but the entire Wuren tribe may not want to continue being a Wuren tribe. In recent years, the Wuren tribe has suffered a lot of discrimination from pure-blooded Wuren tribes."
The Wu tribe values pure bloodlines, and the twelve Wu tribes are directly under the jurisdiction of the twelve ancestral Wu.
The Witch Clan and the Witch Dragon Clan are both side branches.
Human hearts are made of flesh and blood, and even the Ancestral Witches have some biases, so the pure-blooded witch clan is treated better than the half-witch clan.
Injustice exists, contradictions exist, and it is even more extreme than the Heavenly Court.
In the past, the Ancestral Witches did not care, believing that the Half-Witches had no ulterior motives, but the matter of the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race served as a reminder.
Chi You said helplessly, "I don't know what the Wu tribe wants me to do?"
Ru Shou said in a deep voice, "The Demon Master Kunpeng has spread the doctrine of freedom and unfettered ways. This heresy has taken root in your hearts. You need to deal with some of the Wuren people."
Jumang said solemnly, "You may allow the Wuren people who wish to leave the Wu clan to depart, but you must maintain the purity of the group."
The great shaman Chiyou nodded and personally took charge of the arrangements, inviting Xing Tian, Hou Yi, and others to witness them.
The underworld also suffered a significant reduction in strength after eliminating the half-wits.
For a time, the idea of freedom and carefree living filled people's hearts.
The Free and Unfettered Sect has no rules; it only pursues freedom and unbridled living, and is rapidly expanding among various forces.
Pangu Temple Ancestral Witches Meeting
"Nuwa could become a true saint at any time, only Houtu could keep her in check."
"When Donghuang Taiyi refines a supreme treasure, it cannot be dealt with by a single Ancestral Witch; it requires the combined efforts of several."
"Among the other demon emperors in Heaven, the greatest threat is the Kunpeng Demon Master. His philosophy of carefree freedom will undermine the cohesion of the Witch Clan."
Internal investigation by the People's Education Bureau
Chanjiao Internal Investigation
Intercepting the sect's internal investigation
The lineages of Earth Immortals, Divine Immortals, Human Immortals, and Ghost Immortals are all within the Inner Investigation Sect.
Shortly after
Demon Master Kunpeng felt pressure from all sides, with major forces tacitly suppressing the development of the Free and Unfettered Sect.
An individual's pursuit of freedom and ease is a betrayal of the collective.
To surrender everything to the collective is to betray oneself.
The Heavenly Court began to smear the Free and Unfettered Sect, while the Underworld spread rumors about it.
The Heavenly Dao True Saints fueled this, as they too disliked carefree freedom and believed the Heavenly Dao True Saints should control everything.
Time flies
Human Fire Cloud Cave
The three great ancestors of humanity did not receive any retaliation from the Heavenly Court, and assumed that the Demon Emperors were being magnanimous, and even began to relax their guard.
A clone of Kunpeng arrived at the Fiery Cloud Cave, his expression grave. "Humanity is facing imminent calamity, yet you remain here in bewilderment!"
