Eat, eat, eat in the primordial world

What the demons did was indeed quite outrageous. But from their perspective, they didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Since the demon race ascended to the heavens, the races left on earth, if not all of them, are close enough to be enemies of the demon race.

In this situation, since the demon race has the means, they must intercept the starlight. Otherwise, can they continue to let it flow to the earth and aid their enemies?

This isn't a question of right or wrong, but rather a matter of perspective. If other races were in the demon race's shoes, they would certainly have done the same, so the demon race doesn't feel they've done anything wrong.

That's true, but the myriad races on Earth, as victims, certainly won't empathize with the demon race, the beneficiaries. Therefore, they won't understand the demon race; they'll only grow to hate them more.

But the demon race is far away in the heavens, and no matter how much they hate them, there's nothing they can do; they can't possibly fight their way up there.

As a result, the demons who remained on the ground were doomed. Not only did the witches see them as a thorn in their side, but all the other races wanted to grind them to dust. They were truly enemies of the whole world.

In this situation, it was extremely rare to still see demons on the ground, which made Jiang Yuan very curious.

"Hmm, the Ancestor of Fire?"

After watching for a while, Jiang Yuan was even more surprised, because he discovered that the person receiving these demons was actually Sui Zu. Judging from their expressions, they were clearly acquaintances, not strangers.

This piqued Jiang Yuan's curiosity: how could the Ancestor of Fire be acquainted with the demon race?

At this time, there was still a long time before the demon race massacred humans. Although humans and demons were not yet irreconcilable enemies, they were practically strangers and should not have any interaction.

Of course, curiosity aside, since Sui Zu hadn't summoned him, Jiang Yuan wouldn't be foolish enough to ask directly. Instead, he waited until Sui Zu had made arrangements for the demons before secretly going to inquire about the reason.

"You mean those demons from earlier? I met them ten thousand years ago, when humans had only recently arrived at the shores of the East Sea. They were being hunted down by the witch clan and accidentally escaped here."

"As you know, although the Holy Mother has left the demon race, she was once the Demon Queen. So when this group of demons used the Holy Mother's name to ask the human race for protection, I simply couldn't refuse."

When Jiang Yuan came to inquire about the origins of those demons, Sui Zu told him the truth. This was a group of demons who had received favors from the human race. Sui Zu had met them and become friends with them during that time.

"They've already escaped a calamity, why would they come back? The ground is still too dangerous for the demon race."

Jiang Yuan asked subconsciously, still suffering from preconceived notions, which made him instinctively target all demon races.

"Naturally, it's about repaying the debt of gratitude. The human race saved their lives, so they naturally have to show their appreciation. Otherwise, they won't be able to repay the karmic debt of being saved, and their cultivation will be affected, making it difficult for them to make any further progress."

Sui Zu sensed Jiang Yuan's hostility towards the demon race. Although he was puzzled as to where this hostility came from, he still explained.

"Would the demon race be so kind?"

"I think there's something wrong with this. Based on what I know about the demon race, they prefer to kill their benefactors rather than repay their debts of gratitude."

"In this way, the benefactor is gone, and the karmic debt of saving one's life naturally does not need to be repaid."

Influenced by preconceived notions, Jiang Yuan continued to make a guilty verdict.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You've never even seen a demon race before, how much could you possibly know about them? Besides, although the Holy Mother has left the demon race, Emperor Xi is still here."

"These demons have gone mad! How dare they attack my human race? Aren't they afraid of being punished by Emperor Xi and having their entire race wiped out?"

Sui Zu chuckled, feeling that Jiang Yuan's unfounded hostility towards the demon race had affected his normal judgment.

Is it possible for demons to kill their benefactors? Certainly. But such a thing could never happen to humans. Because humans have powerful connections within the demon race, connections that reach to the highest levels.

The demon race has three emperors, and the human race's background is that of Xi Huang, one of the three emperors, whose status is second only to the demon emperor Di Jun, and who is revered along with the Eastern Emperor.

To put it bluntly, humans are the royal relatives of the demon race. The lower-level demons wouldn't dare to lay a hand on humans; they don't have the guts.

"What is their purpose in coming here?"

At this moment, Jiang Yuan realized that he had lost his composure because he was too influenced by his memories of his past life. So he changed the subject.

"Select exceptional talents to cultivate in the Celestial Realm."

When it came to serious matters, Sui Zu said solemnly.

"Um……"

Jiang Yuan fell silent. He instinctively wanted to stop it, but found that he couldn't.

For many humans today, the dream is to travel to the celestial realm for cultivation. If he dares to obstruct it, he will be drowned in the spittle of his own people.

The Celestial Realm, bathed in the light of the stars and where the fortunes of all things converge, is truly the foremost sacred place for cultivation in the primordial world.

The demon race is the true overlord of heaven and earth, possessing the most resources in the primordial world, and also mastering three hundred and sixty kinds of methods to return to the ancestral divine sacredness, making them the most powerful in the primordial world.

Don't be fooled by the fact that all the races are cursing the demon race; those are just the older generation's curses. As the demon race grows stronger, it gradually secures its position as the overlord of heaven and earth.

The new generation of young people may not say it, but they deeply admire the demon race.

If given the chance to join the demon race, they would do anything, even betray the race that gave them life, without hesitation.

If all races that have a grudge against the demon race are like this, how much more so the human race, which not only has no grudge against the demon race but is actually related to it?

If it weren't for the instructions from the ancestor of the Sui clan that forbids clansmen from leaving the shores of the East Sea without permission, many clansmen would probably have already gone to join the demon clan.

It was under these circumstances that the demon race actively recruited humans, wanting to select human prodigies to cultivate in the celestial realm. Who would dare to stop them? Weren't they afraid of their own people rebelling?

"After our clansmen went to the demon realm, were they willing to return? And if they did return, could they guarantee their loyalty?"

After a long silence, Jiang Yuan asked the core question.

In this era, the allure of the demon race remains immense; aside from the witch race, no one doesn't yearn for them. Therefore, attempts to stop them are futile; they cannot be stopped.

Since we can't stop them, we need to consider the consequences. Will those who left be able to return? And if they do return, have their hearts changed?

"Those who go voluntarily basically don't come back. On the contrary, those I send out have a good chance of returning to develop the human race after they have achieved success in their cultivation."

"As for whether they will miss the human race or the demon race after they return, we can only try to figure that out gradually."

Sui Zu also fell silent. The question Jiang Yuan asked was exactly what he was worried about. Compared to the human race, the demon race was more than ten thousand times stronger. Having lived there for a long time, who would want to come back to live a hard life?

If they don't come back, and humanity loses these geniuses, what future can it have?

"Are they really coming back to repay a debt of gratitude, or to seek revenge?"

Jiang Yuan laughed in anger. His previous suspicions were indeed correct. Even though the demon race had not yet committed massacres, they were still no good.

The evil in one's bones cannot be hidden.
