Chapter 155 The Crown Prince Inspects the Heavens to Determine the Timing
"Humans are an extraordinary race..." Chang Hao's heart tightened; he couldn't let Di Jun harbor prejudice against humans.
The future world will definitely be dominated by the human race. How many demons are there? At most, there are no more than 400,000. The vast prehistoric world is sparsely populated, and the human race will surely be present everywhere in the future.
“Of course it’s extraordinary,” Di Jun said, his anger rising at the mention of the human race. “There’s something really strange: female demons and humans can’t naturally have offspring. It’s only possible if the demon conceives the offspring and expends their cultivation. Moreover, their cultivation level drops afterward, making cultivation difficult, and it’s clear that they have no hope of becoming a Great Luo.”
"Human women who give birth to demon offspring are basically in mortal danger, and regardless of gender, the offspring all have the appearance of humans. Are they demons?"
This is clearly a human with demon blood, who has been artificially boosting the human race's fortune and causing the demon race's fortune to decline. I have already decreed that demons are forbidden from intermarrying with humans; those who disobey will be executed without mercy.
This was an inside story that Chang Hao was unaware of, but knowing this gave him an idea.
"The human race under Nuwa's rule is extraordinary. After their union, there is no definitive answer as to whether they are witches or human witches. If the witch race continues like this, there will surely be no witches left in the prehistoric world in the future." Chang Hao wanted to promote the human race to naturally replace the witch race through natural evolution and become the second largest race in the prehistoric world.
Humans are easier to lead than witches; at least they are intelligent, adept at assessing situations, and less destructive.
Seeing the state of the Wu tribe, Chang Hao thought it would be better to eliminate the human race. The prehistoric world was vast and rich in resources, and the number of demons was not even enough to fill a tooth.
Will the entire Witch Clan become human? Di Jun was tempted for a moment, but then he thought of the incredible physique and cultivation progress that would result from the union of humans and Witches, "How long would that take? If the Witch Clan were to multiply rapidly, I would be in big trouble."
However, it is possible to control the number of hybrids between the witch and human races, and then slowly and quietly slaughter the pure witch race, leaving human-witch hybrids to continue generation after generation... He did not want to exterminate them all, and this matter has great potential.
Chang Hao looked at Di Jun with a half-smile. Who didn't start out as an emperor? He was clearly tempted, but he was just being hypocritical.
Chang Hao didn't even need to agonize over the choice between the Death Witch Clan and the Death Emperor Jun, Taiyi, and Xihe. It was a struggle for destiny, a struggle for dominance, and there was no room for reason.
It's completely hopeless. Di Jun was in a state of utter confusion. He felt that Chang Hao, this prodigy, had seen right through him, and that no one could hide his thoughts from him.
Seeing the two of them come out chatting and laughing amicably, Taiyi visibly breathed a sigh of relief. "Chang Hao, you came and went in a hurry last time. Would you like to stay at my Donghuang Palace for a while?" He wondered if Chang Hao had resolved the troubles he had last time.
“I have already prepared a palace, right next to Di Jun, very close to Tai Yi’s Eastern Palace.” Xi He had already taken into account everything from sitting and lying down to walking, clothing, food, and shelter.
Meeting Xihe's expectant gaze, Chang Hao couldn't bring himself to refuse, so he acquiesced.
Xihe's expression softened. "Let's go, I'll show you around. If there's anything you don't like, I'll change it right away."
“Xihe…” Di Jun hesitated, the Taiwei Palace next to him was the future crown prince’s palace of the demon court, which was well known among the high-ranking members of the demon race. Its status was second only to his Lingxiao Palace. It seemed too inappropriate to let Chang Hao live there.
Xihe glanced coldly at the scene. What was wrong with the Crown Prince living in the Crown Prince's palace?
"Whatever... whatever makes you happy. I'm busy with official duties, so I won't go see it." Di Jun didn't care anymore. Anyway, his subordinates wouldn't be so clueless. The palace is the palace, and the crown prince is the crown prince. The two should not be confused.
"I'll bring the little golden crows to meet their uncle, so that we don't all be strangers." Taiyi felt that today was a day for family reunion.
Xihe's smile froze. "Xiao Shi and the others are too noisy. Let's wait and see, lest we scare Chang Hao away."
Who knows what might happen if Xiao Shi and Chang Hao stay together all the time? If the Heavenly Dao finds out, things will get really bad.
“That’s true.” Taiyi’s eyelid twitched, clearly remembering the behavior of his little darlings. Once they arrived at the Demon Court, those energetic little guys wouldn’t stop until they caused chaos.
"Chang Hao, this way," Taiyi led Chang Hao toward Taiwei Palace.
Seeing Chang Hao looking up at the plaque, Taiyi explained, "Actually, Taiwei Palace was originally called Taiwei Yuqing Palace, but the name was changed to avoid the taboo of Yuanshi Tianzun, so the name Yuqing was omitted."
"Taiyi, why didn't you choose this place before?" Chang Hao looked at the scale of this place, which far surpassed Taiyi's Eastern Palace.
"The Eastern Emperor Palace was originally named the Sun Palace, and it is filled with the essence of the Sun Star. If you prefer the Eastern Emperor Palace, I can exchange it with you." It's just a palace, and Chang Hao deserves the best. Taiyi believes that Xihe thinks the same way, which is why she chose to renovate the Taiwei Palace.
"No need, Taiwei is already very good." Chang Hao looked at the location of Taiwei Palace, knowing that Di Jun would feel frustrated again.
…………………………
Di Jun felt silently heartbroken for a while, until Fu Xi asked to see him, at which point he regained his incomparably majestic aura.
"Your Majesty..." Fuxi bowed slightly with his hands clasped.
“Fuxi, how many times have I told you? There’s no one around. Even if you want to maintain the dignity of the Demon Emperor, there’s no need to do this. You are my trusted confidant, and you are different from others.” Di Jun said with a helpless expression.
Fuxi was in a dilemma, thinking about Nuwa's request, and wondered if His Majesty would be willing.
Di Jun: "Fuxi, what's wrong? You can speak frankly if you have something to say."
"Your Majesty, Nuwa said that recently the human race has been praying to Heaven, and everyone says that the high temperature and scorching heat are unbearable, and the sun is no longer enough for the prehistoric human race." Fuxi was speechless. Such a fragile race. What was Nuwa thinking back then?
Di Jun suspected he couldn't understand human language, "What do you mean by unbearable heat and scorching sun? It's always been like this on the Sun Star, it's not like I'm targeting them."
"Humanity has multiplied to this point, and newborns have no cultivation whatsoever..." Fuxi looked ashamed, suspecting that Nuwa had cut corners in the original work.
"So, what does Nuwa want?" Di Jun really wanted to shut Nuwa up, but looking at Fuxi, who was loyal to him, he decided to listen to what Nuwa had to say.
"Nuwa wants Your Majesty to hide the sun star..."
“This is impossible,” Di Jun was not crazy yet. “The demon race needs the essence of the sun and moon to cultivate. If the sun is hidden, how will the demon race survive? The primordial land will lose its light, and I will directly become the enemy of the primordial world.”
"Your Majesty, Fuxi has devised a brilliant plan for this matter. If it succeeds, it will further demonstrate your authority as the Heavenly Emperor." Fuxi was also caught in a dilemma, torn between his sister's path to sainthood and the demon race.
"Tell me about it." Di Jun patiently concealed the Sun Star, which of course highlighted his authority. Unfortunately, it was not the path that a virtuous person should follow. He was the Heavenly Emperor, but his virtue was not commensurate with his position, which would lead to endless troubles.
"The alternation of the sun and moon in the primordial world is without any regularity. Why not take this opportunity to stabilize the distinction between day and night by having the sun rise and the moon hide, and the moon rise and the sun set?"
"The matter of the moon's disappearance is easy to explain, but the sun's disappearance..." Di Jun's lips twitched. "Nuwa said that the human race cannot withstand high temperatures. Are you sure they can withstand suddenly being plunged into a world of ice and snow?" Don't let them freeze to death and then come to settle scores with him.
Fuxi: "Therefore, Fuxi has come up with a win-win solution. If Your Majesty agrees, not only will the reputation of the demon race rise, but the Golden Crow race will also gain the recognition of Heaven and Earth, and the young princes will also be rewarded with merit."
Di Jun's eyes lit up, and he leaned forward, "Fu Xi, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me quickly."
Is there really such a good thing in the world?
Fuxi solemnly said, "The Crown Prince will tour the heavens to determine the seasons..."
