The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Chapter 646 Everyone is Like a Dragon (x), Everyone is Like a Golden Crow

Di Ting sighed deeply, and finally uttered a word: "The Emperor only ordered me to continue monitoring all time and space; he gave me no other decree."

"And they didn't blame you either?"

"What wrong have I done? Why blame me?" Di Ting shook his head.

"If... the Heavenly Court collapses, what will you do?" Luo Zu also uttered such treasonous words.

Di Ting still lowered his head and shook his head: "I don't know."

He exuded a sense of bewilderment.

For many years, He has worked tirelessly for the Heavenly Court, serving like a dog or horse, but the demons and gods cannot see or understand Him. Instead, they blame Him for their oversight, which naturally displeases Him.

And now, amidst the vast sea of ​​beliefs of the demon race, He heard extraordinary voices. Though few in number, their very existence was enough. He had observed countless civilizations, from their birth to their peak and then to their decline. While there may have been differences, they all shared similarities, the most important of which lay in the individual's disappointment with the collective.

Such disappointment accumulates little by little. At first, it is very little, but as time goes by and as various events unfold, the disappointment of each individual accumulates into a flood that directly destroys a civilization.

He could see these things, and now he saw that the same situation existed within the demon race, which caused him great concern.

However, after reporting this matter to the Heavenly Emperor, the Heavenly Emperor did not give him any answer, nor did he explain what his response would be. He was told to go back first and continue to monitor all living beings. He did not understand at the time, but unfortunately, he could not hear the Heavenly Emperor's thoughts.

However, after that, the Heavenly Emperor set up the Thirty-Three Heavens, Thirty-Three Tribulations, and Thirty-Three Realms, which rekindled His heart, but that was all.

Because the number of demons who are disappointed with the demon race has not decreased, but rather has increased.

Seeing this, Di Ting felt even more distressed. After all, He directly heard the thoughts of the demon race and knew what they wanted and what they desired. These desires were incredibly diverse, and simply establishing a Thirty-Three Heavens could not lessen their disappointment with the demon race.

He pondered the reasons for this for days and finally came to a conclusion: it was a problem with the demon race itself.

The demon race is a collective race that has mixed together thousands of races. This is a concept, not a race in terms of physical form or materiality. The various races within the group are inherently full of contradictions, and some even kill each other. It is common for one race to regard another as food, and there are many deep-seated hatreds between races.

This deep-seated hatred was accumulated over countless years of bloody feuds, yet such a race was forcibly classified as a demon race, becoming a race that "helps and loves each other".

Although the Heavenly Emperor and other powerful figures suppressed it, the hatred could not be eliminated. On the contrary, it deepened with each friction during their time working together.

So initially, it might not have been disappointment with the demon race as a whole, but rather disappointment with a particular individual within it. However, this disappointment gradually accumulated and eventually became disappointment with the entire demon race.

Is there a solution to this problem? Di Ting couldn't think of one, nor could he learn from it, because from the long history of the primordial world, the demon race was unique, and no other race could be seen in that long period of time.

It can be said that the demon race is terrifying. They can now suppress the once evenly matched witch race. However, the demon race is also fragile. If they are not careful, they will disintegrate. If it weren't for the two quasi-saints of the Primordial Chaos suppressing them, those great supernatural beings would have already gathered a group of people and established their own sects.

But they were also the ones who started all of this...

Di Ting had no other thoughts about them except reverence and worship.

These Di Tings did not speak to Luo Zu. They only secretly observed Luo Zu, but they did not expect Luo Zu to come to them on his own. That is why they said these words.

When He regretted saying those words, Lozu was already reflecting on them.

In Luo Zu's eyes, the demon race was indeed flourishing and prosperous, though there might be undercurrents beneath the surface. But with the Eastern Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor present, who could cause trouble? Who could overthrow the demon race?

Their only danger seems to be the Witch Clan, and those Great Luo Wuji beings outside of the Witch Demons.

Even Luo Zu felt that the threat posed by the Styx Ancestor, who was huddled in the sea of ​​blood, and the many races he created was greater than that of the demon race itself.

But Di Ting actually felt that the Heavenly Court itself might collapse, which was quite alarming.

The phrase "the hearts of the people are with you" is not a good one.

If Luo Zu knew about the current predicament of the demon race, he would surely have come up with a clever way for them, which would be to translate the demon race from a concept into physical resources.

The demon race can refine their appearance, internal structure, and even the most minute organization into the same type.

Of course, Luo Zu highly recommends the method of human transformation. The demon race can all transform into human form, and then they can call themselves human or demon.

However, this method will inevitably face considerable resistance. Just consider whether the Eastern Emperor himself would agree to it. Would so many Great Luo Immortals agree to it? Would Taiyi Immortals agree to it? Even the demon race below the Golden Immortal level would not agree to it.

Of course, Luo Zu also had a bad idea that went on to come: if he couldn't transform into a human, he could transform into a golden crow, which would be different from the granularity of the Eastern Emperor.

From then on, the demon race was united and there were no other distinctions. However, the Golden Crow was originally created from the essence of the Great Sun and was born sacred. To this day, there are only twelve Golden Crows. If all the trillions and trillions of demons were to turn into Golden Crows, I'm afraid... the primordial world would be drained dry first.

This isn't about everyone being a dragon; it's about everyone being a golden crow.

The good days of the primordial world are coming to an end; even the Great Dao doesn't have enough Golden Crows to go around.

As for refining only the physical form, why bother transforming into the shape of a golden crow? One could simply find a simpler species to transform into.

However, Luo Zu didn't have the chance to come up with bad ideas. He didn't want the Eastern Emperor to really notice him, otherwise the existence of "humanity" might not be able to be hidden at that time.

"Fellow Daoist, please." Di Ting had no intention of continuing to discuss this matter with Luo Zu, so he sent Luo Zu's wisp of thought away.

When Luo Zu saw that He was about to see the guest off, he naturally did not want to stay any longer. His thoughts immediately dispersed and turned into the omnipresent Great Dao, and finally returned to Luo Zu sitting in the cave at the same moment.

"The demon race, the witch race, the human race, and all races, the principles of the Great Dao are intertwined, forming a net that envelops the primordial world." After withdrawing this thought, Luo Zu understood the information within it. He did not sigh much, only saying that the world is impermanent. At present, the witch and demon races are just taking the lead. In the future, the witch and demon races will also... perish.

He then immersed himself in his own cultivation. The cultivation of the fifth step of the Golden Immortal was too profound to be explained in writing, so there were no techniques, secrets, or formulas.

Of course, once one reaches the Golden Immortal realm, one must learn from the Dao, which follows the natural way. The secrets and techniques lie in understanding all things in nature and all living beings in the world.

The same applies to immortal arts. Descended from the Daoist teachings, they are the essence of the Great Dao, capable of boundless creation and unparalleled killing power.
