“Since ancient times, every calamity of slaughter will only end when a certain number of people have died. Even if you can stop a calamity, it will only stop it temporarily. The karmic consequences in the world will not disappear, but will only accumulate, waiting for an even greater calamity. I believe you all know that this calamity is unprecedented, affecting almost the entire world. You can avoid it for a while, but do you intend to hide forever?” Seeing that these demons were still hesitant, Wang Han added fuel to the fire. “The calamity of slaughter thirty years ago, and this calamity, were both caused by human greed. The demons should not have to pay the price. Starting a war and letting the humans here make up the numbers is the best way to deal with this calamity.”
“Even if we were to wage war against humans, the number of our demon race alone wouldn’t be enough! Humans are the mainstream of this world. This calamity, like it was thirty years ago, is caused by humans. We are hiding deep in the mountains, so the calamity might not necessarily affect us demons!” a demon said. After all, it was a matter of life and death, and he didn’t want to get involved in this huge calamity. However, due to Wang Han’s strength, he didn’t dare to say it directly, otherwise today would be his day of death.
"Who said it's just us! There's another calamity." Wang Han said with a smile, "Yes, this calamity and the last calamity were indeed caused by human greed, but the demon race is not innocent either. The demon race has also harmed many humans. Moreover, humans are developing rapidly now, and it won't be long before they can rival us. They will definitely enter the demon's territory to fight for their interests, such as resources and living space. There is already a huge karmic connection between the demon race and humans. In this calamity, the karmic connection between humans and demons is already set. The hatred between humans and demons that has always existed will also be brought to a head sooner or later. Rather than waiting for humans to become strong and crush us, we might as well strike first."
"Moreover, although our numbers are far fewer than those of humans, blindly rushing into battle is something only a reckless person would do. We must use our strength and wisdom."
There was one more thing Wang Han didn't mention: human warfare technology had advanced too quickly, otherwise the demon race wouldn't be so few in the future, eventually becoming even rarer than rare protected animals.
"That makes sense."
"I never expected this person to be from the Huaxia Jie organization."
"He must be a leader."
"No wonder so many demons joined the calamity, now I understand. I believe it now."
"It seems that we really can't avoid this calamity."
As Wang Han spoke and Jie's reputation grew, the gathered demons began to discuss the matter. Upon reflection, many began to believe Wang Han's words. After all, Jie's great reputation and the large number of demons within his organization were not without reason; no one wanted their centuries of cultivation to be reduced to ashes. They had also witnessed the rapid progress of humanity in the last hundred years—it had indeed developed quickly and expanded into many territories, encroaching on much of their living space. However, in the past, the demon race lacked unity and operated independently.
"Friend of the demon race, how should we address you, and what should we do? Also, humans are the protagonists of the world, can we really succeed? Will we face retaliation later?" a demon asked Wang Han, voicing his biggest concern. Small-scale skirmishes were possible, but to truly replace humans as the protagonists of the world was simply impossible; neither the gods nor the Heavenly Dao would allow it.
"Wang Han." Seeing that these demons were beginning to believe his words, Wang Han smiled and said, "The calamity of slaughter has come because of human greed. Humans will inevitably fight each other first. What we need to do is to give them a reason to fight each other and to give them a chance to defeat each other. We will do this under the guise of helping them, keeping them at a stalemate, just like in the Investiture of the Gods. If humans become powerful in the future, the demons will also be allies who help humans. This is my plan. No matter what the outcome, the biggest beneficiaries will be the demons."
"Strategies are too complicated. Just tell us what we should do!" a tiger spirit asked.
"Tch...!" Several hisses rang out as the tiger spirit spoke, but after the tiger spirit glared at them, they all avoided his gaze, and very few dared to meet his eyes.
“You don’t need to do anything too complicated.” Wang Han looked at the tiger spirit and said with a smile, “Aren’t those Indians enslaved by some white people? Then you should become their gods, eliminate the demons that enslave them, and rescue them from their suffering. Then incite their hatred, ignite their anger, and make them fight those white people to the death.”
After hearing Wang Han's words, the surrounding demons immediately began to discuss among themselves.
"Not only can we make them die for us and fill the bloodbath, but we can also make them grateful. We can squeeze every last drop out of them, and maybe we can even replace those guys in the heavens. What a brilliant plan!" said a python demon, having seen through Wang Han's scheme.
“That’s right.” Wang Han nodded and said, “But that’s not all. Don’t forget there’s another group of guys in the sky. They won’t let too many of these Indians die, nor will they sit idly by and watch us take their place. Otherwise, no one will worship them. Those are our biggest enemies. Now, what I want is to drive these Indians completely mad, whether it’s out of hatred or for profit, to make them dance with us willingly. Our goal is to turn them into reckless madmen. Our goal is simply to make them die in a frenzy, to fill the gap of slaughter, to weaken humanity, and to weaken the position of those gods in the hearts of humanity.”
"Since you said those guys in the sky won't just sit idly by, then how should we deal with them? They are much stronger than us, and there's also the Heavenly Dao. How should we deal with them?" the python spirit asked.
“With human hands,” Wang Han said with a sneer. “Human warfare has become increasingly powerful, and in this calamity, human warfare capabilities will only become more terrifying. However, humans are also the dominant race in this world. Killing too many humans will create enormous karma. Using human hands to deal with those guys in the sky, to deal with the Heavenly Dao, as I said, our goal is to drive those Indians mad.”
"I understand!" Upon hearing this, the python spirit nodded, understanding Wang Han's meaning. Heaven's will not destroy humanity, nor can the gods; Heaven's will not allow humanity to perish. However, humanity's thoughts are not bound by Heaven's will or by the gods, nor do they drive them to madness, to kill, to die, or to defy the gods.
"Now that you understand, let's get moving and rescue these Indians! Let them go mad with hatred, passion, and desire!" Wang Han shouted, spreading his arms wide like a charlatan.
"Roar...!" Following Wang Han's words, the monsters gathered here immediately rushed excitedly out of the forest.
'Hmph! You really think it's that easy? Even with the best plan, you can't defy the Heavenly Dao! In your ideals, just obediently pave the way for China!' Wang Han sneered inwardly as he watched the monsters excitedly rushing out of the forest. In this world, besides the Heavenly Dao itself, no one understood it better than Wang Han. The Heavenly Dao had many tricks up its sleeve!
