After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

Zhou Yan's claws were itchy, but he didn't dare to move or resist. He could only weakly ask.

"Goddess Nuwa, this place... could it not have been completely cleansed?"

Nuwa's Daoist temple is not in this secret realm. Nuwa is still here. Zhou Yan can only suspect that the guy who caused the fall of the Eastern Peak Emperor and made Nuwa sacrifice so many demon and human Qi cultivators is still alive.

It requires a deity of Nuwa's caliber to watch over it daily.

Nuwa used her fingers to pry open Zhou Yan's lips, staring intently at his teeth.

Children are definitely the cutest.

With such a pair of young teeth, even Nuwa wanted to take Zhou Yan home.

No, that's not it.

Nuwa released her hand from Zhou Yan's lips and began to touch his smoother abdomen with her other hand.

"There are no monsters here..."

Zhou Yan tilted his head in confusion.

"No, a monster? Then what are you doing here, Goddess Nuwa?"

Nuwa's expression darkened slightly.

Zhou Yan turned his head to look at the mountain of bones made up of the corpses of ten thousand demons that he had seen before.

When Zhou Yan saw the ten thousand demons entering the city, he thought that the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak would suffer a terrible fate, and Nuwa would have to clean up the mess. Now, if Nuwa isn't here to clean up the mess...

What's the meaning of all those demon corpses outside?

How did they die?

Why did that mountain bully dig out his heart?

Nuwa gave a soft sigh at this moment, and Zhou Yan could hear the complexity in her tone.

The white-haired beast turned its head and its gaze met Nuwa's, who was looking down at it.

"...My mother came here under the guise of the divine authority of the Eastern Peak Emperor, and she mingled with the demons."

Zhou Yan opened his mouth slightly in surprise.

"Transgender people...collaborating?"

　Swoosh, #Swoosh】←：Four Yi‰§Ling Qi‰<Lin The meaning and amount of information in these words are frighteningly high.

Nuwa said sadly.

"The conflict between humans and demons has been going on for a long time. A thousand years ago, it had already developed to the point where it was either you die or I die. I am a human mother and also a demon queen."

"If I help the human race, the demons I raise will resent me; if I help the demon race, my human children will run to my temple and kneel outside the door crying."

"Xiaobai, tell me, in those situations, who should I help?"

Zhou Yan: "..."

Near Zhou Yan's home, there was a family with an elderly father and two children. One of them was smart from a young age and, after graduating from high school, found a good job with his quick wit. In just a few years, he bought a house and a car.

The other one is rather dull-witted. After graduating from high school, he's now just a taxi driver, so poor he doesn't even dare to have children.

Both children are quite filial to their father, but due to income differences, the wealthier son definitely gives more in terms of material support.

Then, when the old man was about to die and was making his will, he wanted to discuss it with his wealthy son, saying that his poor son was not suitable. He suggested that the wealthy son should receive three parts of the property and the poor son seven parts.

The wealthy son was immediately dissatisfied. He was the one who was more filial to his own father, taking him to the hospital and finding doctors when things went wrong. Why should the other one get more?

The poor son, including his father, thought that the rich son had money, so what was wrong with giving him more?

Then they started arguing. The father was in poor health, and after a few words, he died of anger. The two sons went to court over the division of the property.

自那个时8候，周5衍就7清楚了，6一个6家庭想一3碗水端平是4不可能的4，家家2都有本难念的经，清官都难断家务事。

Even a great goddess like Nuwa found herself caught in the dilemma of her children vying for power and profit.

Nuwa leaned back on the throne behind her with a sorrowful expression, then pressed Zhou Yan against her chest, gently stroking the fur on his back.

"For a long time, I chose not to take sides and let my two children fight it out themselves. It didn't matter who won."

Nuwa shook her head again.

"But those little mud splatters seem to be more ambitious than I imagined; they're going to wipe out all the demons."

Zhou Yan, whose chest was being pressed, said in a muffled voice.

"And then, Goddess Nuwa, you saved the demon?"

Nuwa shook her head.

"I want to save them, but what's the point? I can save them once, but can I save them forever?"

"later……"

Nuwa pinched Zhou Yan's cheek.

"I've got an idea."

Zhou Yan shuddered.

"An idea? What?"

Nuwa smiled gently.

"It's about humans and demons merging. The demon race has already lost, so let's lose completely. My little mud splatters are fine as they are, let them live their lives. But as the victors, let's not be too ruthless and leave some incense for the losers."

Zhou Yan was struck dumb.

The young man exclaimed.

"The Awakened Ones were actually your doing, Goddess Nuwa?"

Nuwa sprinkles rain +. Han:]i∠◇six℃↓shirt private{～temple two heads.

"The vast majority are demigods; true gods are not someone I can deal with."

"After the fall of the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak, I brought the last remaining demons who were willing and bound by the rules to the Taishan Secret Realm. I used the divine authority of the Great Emperor of Taishan to transfer the flesh and spirit of these demons into the Six Paths of Reincarnation. From then on, all mortals had the opportunity to become demons. As long as the human race exists, the demon race will never perish."

Zhou Yan was dumbfounded.

Nuwa lowered her head and kissed Zhou Yan again.

"Xiao Bai, have you ever thought about it? In fact, the demon race has already been wiped out in terms of its ideology and culture."

Zhou Yan pursed his lips, then nodded.

Zhou Yan was just thinking that Nuwa mixed the flesh and blood of the demon race into the cycle of reincarnation, giving people the opportunity to transform into demons. Wasn't this actively forcing humans to divide themselves into groups and then fight among themselves?

In the end, won't it just lead to a repeat of the conflict between humans and demons?

But in reality, this is impossible.

Because awakened beings have very poor reproductive ability, and the offspring they produce are not necessarily of their own bloodline.

The descendants of Chi You and Ying Zhao are of the Chaos Bloodline, and even demigods like the Five-Colored Ox can produce Ghost-level Awakeners.

Simply put, Awakened Ones can no longer form a race with the same bloodline. Even if Awakened Ones are inhuman, even if Awakened Ones possess power that normal humans cannot achieve, they must still live and be rooted in human groups.

The legitimacy and continuity of the demon race have completely disappeared due to the inability to guarantee offspring and their extremely small numbers.

The Filthy Demon Clan has become a vassal of humanity, or rather, a mutant among humans. They can only survive within the human social and cultural spheres. Zhou Yan has never seen an awakened being who does not enjoy human cultural entertainment.

Of course, in this rather tragic situation, Nuwa also gave these awakened demons some compensation: any mortal who awakens becomes a superior being.

Even the lowest-level demon-level awakened beings can earn more than normal people by exerting themselves, and they are less likely to get sick and have a longer lifespan.

These awakened demons can live more comfortably and easily than humans in human society.

Samarium "Wait a minute..."

Zhou Yan thought of something.

"Goddess Nuwa, is the Buddhist and Taoist lineage in the human world... you..."

Two years ago, when Little Yama met Lü Chunyang, he asked why the lineage of cultivators in the human world had declined to the point that they couldn't even find one who could defeat a demon-level awakened being.

It should be noted that Dao Ancestors like Lü Chunyang still exist, and even if the lineage is severed, it should be able to be passed down again.

Nuwa was very satisfied.

"You little rascal, you're still as clever as ever. Yes, I did reduce the cultivation talent of humans, but not for what you think. The main reason was to protect mortals."

Zhou Yan murmured, "Protect mortals?"

Speaking of tradition, the Donghai Kingdom, a country that split off from the Dongxia civilization, actually had a complete lineage of the Imperial Observatory, but the descendants of the Imperial Observatory were getting worse with each generation.

There's also the Shenxiao Dao lineage, which is one of the lineages of the Antarctic Longevity Emperor. Although its lineage is clearly complete, it now only has a few members, which is far from enough.

In retrospect, did Nuwa diminish humanity's talent for cultivation?

However, the reason for reducing talents is not to decrease the conflict between humans and awakened demons, but to protect mortals.

why?

Why can reducing a human's cultivation talent protect mortals?

Nuwa didn't continue explaining this issue, as Zhou Yan was still too weak to hear such secrets. Instead, she changed the subject.

"When you first heard about this plan, Xiaobai, you also said it was very interesting and that you were willing to integrate into the human race. You've essentially become a protected species."

Zhou Yan: "..."

……ANIMAL CROSSING?

Also...

In today's world, humanity is indeed the dominant force, and the absolute main force in technological development, cultural entertainment, and ideology.

As for the Awakened, who make up less than one in fifty thousand of the human population, they are truly protected animals who can enjoy privileges from birth compared to humans.

"That..."

Zhou Yan wanted to ask what would happen if some powerful awakened demons became warlords or high-ranking officials, causing a significant impact?

As soon as the question was asked, Zhou Yan shut his mouth again. Dad

As an auspicious beast, Bai Ze is dedicated to bringing good fortune to humankind. It is feared that the awakened demons are causing too much trouble among humans, so Nuwa will send subordinates like herself to suppress them.

Those who want to protect animals must be aware of the importance of protecting animals.

In addition, there are also human gods like Little Yama among humans...

It's important to understand that a hundred years ago, before the social environment deteriorated to the point of complete collapse, awakened individuals were forcefully suppressed by the government and were not allowed to appear in front of ordinary people.

Chapter Twenty-One: Dawn

Zhou Yan patted his head, and the young man couldn't help but laugh to himself.

Zhou Yan had previously heard Ying Zhao mention that, in order to solve the problem of awakened beings possessing bodies, Lu Wu had prayed to the Heavenly Emperor using his Destiny Plate.

The Heavenly Emperor was in the wrong.

Zhou Yan didn't understand before, but he does now.

The actions of those who awaken might affect Nuwa's plan to merge humans and demons, which would then damage their relationship with Nuwa.

Lu Wu foolishly provoked Nuwa, but the Heavenly Emperor wouldn't. So, regarding Lu Wu's request, neither Gouchen Shangdi nor Ziwei Dadi could do anything but pretend they didn't see it.

"so……"

Zhou Yan inquired.

"This Mount Tai Secret Realm really doesn't have any weird or strange things. Goddess Nuwa, you came here just to borrow the divine authority of the fallen Emperor of the Eastern Peak?"

"Um……"

Nuwa pinched Zhou Yan's nose.

“How many people in this world could kill the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak and still swagger around in his temple? The Mount Tai Secret Realm is just empty of people, but there are no evil spirits or dangers.”

Zhou Yan said happily.

"Then, is the Heavenly Pillar of Mount Tai... also safe?"

Nuwa slowly shook her head. 2. △澌四弎伍～． *°中ˉ√转◇○：。

"When the North Heavenly Gate was still standing, the Heavenly Pillar could hold on. After the North Heavenly Gate collapsed, the Heavenly Pillar was already teetering on the brink of collapse. What if the West Heavenly Gate were to collapse as well..."

Zhou Yan: "Σ(°△°|||)"
