Chapter 256: Aftermath (III)

While Lin Fan was happily hugging his beautiful wife and being intimate with her to the jealousy or envy of the other in the room, she was secretly thinking to herself: 'Now that he thinks that this is his idea, if he something goes wrong, he won't blame me for it.

'Compared with Wang Wei's calm and calculated demeanor, this Lin Fan is far beyond. But with his Absolute Chaos Physique, his potential is truly unheard of, so he still has a lot of room to grow.'

Thinking about Wang Wei and her meeting with him, Xi Shi internally gritted her teeth: 'You think that I'm a worthless vase? I'll show you whose a vase. Someday, you will regret saying these words to me.'

…

Northern Black Tortoise Continent, a secret meeting of the Demon Council:

"Is this meeting about the recent invention of school?" asked one of the demon tribe chiefs.

"That's correct," replied the Golden Lion Chieftess. As one of the four Main Chiefs, she was in charge of many of the meetings.

"So, are we going to create 'demon school' to receive Merit and Qi Luck from Heavenly Dao? Although the amount we would receive would be quite pitiful compared to the humans, it is still better than nothing!"

"Unfortunately, we cannot," replied the Black Tiger Chief with a desolate look on his face; his whole temperament screamed defeated.

"Why not?"

"Because the humans have already warned us not to do so; they do not want us to take a piece of their benefit. Many of them wanted to come to the north to set up the school themselves and even sent human teachers to teach."

"What?"

"How audacious these humans are!"

"So, did you accept?"

Of course, not," replied the Battle Saint Ape Chief. "Although our demon clan is weakened and constantly suppressed, nevertheless, it is not to the point that humans can arbitrarily intervene in the Northern Continent."

"If what you said is true, then why do we have to listen to these humans' warning about setting up the school?"

"That's because many of the Emperor Lineages warned us at the same time, so we have to take their words seriously."

"You all should know that the majority of the time, the humans are fighting and competing against one another, so they usually ignore us. However, when it comes to their benefit, they will not hesitate to ally together to crusade against us." said the Peacock Chief.

The room then became silent for a moment, with deep sighed riveting throughout. Finally, someone asked: "What do we do then?"

"We can still open school throughout our territories, but we just cannot get the approval of Heavenly Dao."

"Doesn't that mean we will not have any merit or Qi Luck?."

"So, basically, we will do the same thing our ancestors did when Emperor Kong invented the concept of 'Academy'?"

The room once again became quiet, this time lasting even longer. All these chiefs lamented that after so many years, after two Eras and so many generations, the conditions of their demon race have not improved even the slightest.

"There is something that I'm wondering," asked one of the chiefs. "What's the point of creating this school? I understand establishing the Academy and spreading knowledge to all our tribes that can cultivate? So, who's this school for, these demonic beasts?

"With their low intelligence, they cannot learn anything no matter what we do?"

"You are correct," replied the Golden Lion Chieftess. "However our demon school will not teach these beasts how to read and write like the humans, but we will preach the Dao to them to increase their odds of opening their wisdom and become Demons."

A lot of people had ugly looked on their faces after hearing this. In the Myriad Emperor World, there is only one way for a beast to be classified as a Demon: After being baptized by spiritual qi for many years or after having a fortunate encounter, an ordinary animal will open their wisdom and activate its bloodline powers and instinctively can absorb spiritual qi from Heaven and Earth to further evolve.

Technically speaking, these animals are considered the Demon Race. Unfortunately, the concept of bloodline superiority has been ingrained in the Demon Race for countless Eras, so they looked down on these Demon Races and called them demonic beasts.

Then, after a demonic beast opens his wisdom and started cultivating, once it reached the Supernatural Realm, it can go through Heavenly Tribulation to turn into human form. By then, they will officially be accepted as Demon Race instead of demonic beasts.

Unfortunately, these types of Demon Race faced heavy discrimination among their Race. They are often treating as slaves or servants to a more powerful Demon race with better bloodlines. They received less few resources, do the dirtiest of jobs; in general, they are treated worse than excrement.

Even in the Academies opened by the Demon Race whose purpose was to share knowledge, they were not treated equally.

"I know how many of you feel about the demonic beasts, but given the current situation, this is not the time to be picky. With this method, the number of demon races can increase greatly, thus granting us the chance to compete with the humans--at least in terms of population, we will not be completely outnumbered."

"I disagree. All we need is to have our own Eternal Emperor then our situation will change for the better."

"We are only doing this as a backup. Just in case things don't go as we planned," said the Golden Roc Chief.

"So, what you are saying is that you guys do not have faith in 'him' to become an Eternal Emperor?"

"You know that this is not what we meant?" he replied back.

"How do I know what you mean?"

The Golden Lion Chieftess couched lightly, rendering the room silent. "The simple truth is that an Eternal Emperor is not absolute. Didn't the humans have one that turned his back on? What happened to him? He was exiled and never seen before. How do we know that the same thing won't happen to 'him' after he proves the Dao? 

"So, we need a backup plan in case things goes wrong. After all, the fate of our entire race depends on how decisions."

Although these demon chiefs knew that her words were reasonable, unfortunately, their entire culture and civilization were built on the concept of bloodline supremacy; wanting them to change their views on these demonic beasts so easily was not that simple.

While these chiefs were still hesitating on their choices, a suddenly melodious voice ringed throughout  Heaven and Earth; the voice was beautiful and contained a mysterious power that could charm everyone and everything between Heaven and Earth.

"Heavenly Dao above, the demon race is weak and savage, causing countless calamities across the world and gaining negative karma. This is all because they do not know better.

"So, I would like to open the demon school to preach to them and open their wisdom. Guide them to live in harmony with humans for the better of our world."

After these words echoed throughout the world, Heavenly Dao Eye did not appear this time. But, countless golden merits still manifested from the sky and headed for that voice. However, this time, the merit was not divided.

Following this, a pure white Qi Luck Dragon also appeared, cut a very small part of Luck from the Emperor Enlightening Academy, before heading in the same direction as his predecessor.

"Damn it," screamed the four main chiefs at the same time. Meanwhile, a few of the demon chiefs also had ugly looks on their faces.

"Isn't that the voice of Su Xiang, the Matriarch of the Fox Demon Tribe?"

"You mean the traitor!"

"What is going? Can someone explains?"

"The people of the Dao Opening Sect used the traitor Su Xiang to create the 'demon school', that way, they can completely control both the merit and Qi Luck associated with 'school' in the entire Myriad Emperor World. Didn't you see that the new Qi Luck Dragon also fused with their sect's Qi Luck Dragon, and all the merits fell on their hands," replied the Peacock Chieftess with gritted teeth.

The faces of these chiefs became ugly after hearing this. Although they could not do so because the humans warned them, it does not mean that they wanted other people to do it as well--especially their enemy, the human race.

"In that case, we should not create our own school in our territories. Otherwise, all the merits and Qi Luck of our actions will go to the Dao Opening Sect, while we get absolutely nothing," said one of the chiefs.

"On the contrary, we must do it, and as soon as possible," said the Golden Lion Chieftess.

"Why?"

"Because, with this move, the human race can dramatically increase the number of Demon Race in their territory."

"Isn't that a good thing for us?"

"Stupid. These Demon races will be either brainwashed or forcefully controlled to serve the human race. They will not recognize us and even attacked us. I can see a few generations from now, the Northern Black Continent is full of these Demon Races that treat humans as their master.

"Then, these new demons race can start fighting with us in order to replace us, leading to a massive war. With the support of the human race, they might win the war and completely replace us.

"That way, the human race can completely control the Myriad Emperor World without even losing much.

"Whoever came up with this plan is truly a terrifying person."
