"From this day forward, all races of the Demon Court will be officially renamed the Demon Race!"
Whoosh—
All races looked in disbelief at the messenger from the Demon Court who had announced this decree.
Many tribal leaders also flocked into the main hall, seeking an explanation from the Demon King!
Integrating all races into one is a great undertaking that will benefit future generations.
However... for the vast majority of the myriad races, this was undoubtedly a death sentence for them!
"Why! Demon King! Didn't we agree that after the war, our homeland would return to us? But why are you doing this!"
"The Demon King is right. Don't we all want lasting peace? You'd better think before you speak."
"Damn it! All of this benefits you small, insignificant, and well-preserved tribes!"
Have you ever seen the fighting on the front lines? Why should you sit at the same table as us when it comes to rewarding merit?
"Hehe, you have your war, and I have mine."
That's just because the battlefield appeared on your territory; what does that prove?
Gradually, various groups within the Demon Court began to express dissatisfaction with this policy. Of course, there were those who supported it and those who opposed it. Those who supported it were mostly the powerful groups among the myriad races, while those who opposed it were the groups with less territory and fewer people.
Yao Yong watched with a chilling heart as the ideological divisions within the Demon Court intensified.
Why...why did it turn out like this?
Later, some ethnic groups, under the banner of "orthodox faith," began to advocate for peaceful coexistence among all races. However, other ethnic groups, under the banner of "survival of the fittest," began to use their ethnic strength and prestige to gain more influence.
Meanwhile, the former gradually supported the demon warriors who had long since resigned themselves and stayed in their hometowns.
The latter became followers of the Demon King.
Without the threat of the human empire, internal divisions within the demon race are inevitable.
Ultimately, the Demon Court split apart.
Ten years after the victory over the human empire.
Yao Yong ultimately did not emerge from the mountain, but at this time the Demon Court was already in a precarious situation, and this internal purge was not initiated by the pacifist faction advocating equality among all races.
Rather, it was the Demon King and the races that followed him...
To prevent such a tragedy from happening again, Yao Yong came out of the mountains once more and met with the Demon King.
"If those self-proclaimed pacifist demons win, we may achieve equality for a short time, but what about the future?"
This is not the world of our dreams. If I cannot unite everyone as one, the war will continue! Peace will remain a distant dream!
The Demon King's answer was as follows.
"But is what you're doing right? Why can't we remember the history of humanity's oppression of all races?"
Why do you want to become the second human empire?!
The demon warrior looked at the demon king with great sorrow and asked.
"The Demon Court is different from the human empire."
We have no external enemies, nor do we need to oppress other ethnic groups.
Also, please watch your words, you wicked warrior.
Aren't you hiding the last humans in this world?
You should know what crimes are punishable by law for lurking humans in the Demon Court.
I've been watching everything, you understand?
threaten?
Yao Yong stared incredulously at the Demon King. After so many years, the Demon King who had led the demon race to victory over the human race... was actually threatening his own people?
"You've changed, Demon King!"
"No one in this position will remain unchanged."
Boom—!!!
A clap of thunder sounded outside the window, and a torrential downpour began in a very short time, seemingly obscuring the view outside. Only then did the Demon King turn around and look at the incredulous Demon Warrior.
"If you still think about your freedom and equality and want to preserve humanity, then don't get involved in the internal struggle."
This is my advice.
"Also, you should be careful. Now that I know you're secretly protecting humanity, why don't you wonder if those you consider to be egalitarians and pacifists know about it?"
Boom—!!!
Yao Yong left the place dejectedly.
Not long after, the two sides started fighting again because the demon warrior's attempt to mediate failed.
Just as the Demon King clan had previously believed, these smaller clans, though numerous, were diverse and difficult to form an effective fighting force, and were extremely prone to unequal distribution of spoils.
If they act quickly enough, they can easily achieve final victory.
Realizing they were no match for the Demon Court's forces, the peaceful demons thought of Yao Yong and wanted him to come out of seclusion.
However, Yao Yong has never agreed.
Until a demon army appeared in his hometown and wreaked havoc there!
Incredibly, he left his territory, but after he successfully protected it...
Upon returning to his territory, he discovered that all the humans he had been protecting had perished within his lands.
Humanity... was ultimately wiped out!
"Demon King!!!"
The demon warrior has emerged from the mountain.
However, they were still no match for the demon court's forces.
Like the legendary sword and shield of hope of the old hero, it was a special attack against the demon race, not the monster race.
The equipment of the Demon Warrior is also designed to target humans, not its own race.
In the end, the Demon Court used nearly a third of its strength to force Yao Yong to the Demon King.
The Demon King stared at him expressionlessly.
"You have crossed the line after all."
"You crossed the line first!"
"Me? No... Just like I reminded you back then, what reason do I have to hope that a powerful demon warrior will become my opponent?"
