Demonic Dao Supreme Sage Withdraws from the Battle
The power of language is immense.
A single post not only instigated millions of lawful Demon Race to rebel on the spot, but also shattered the heart of Divine Mountain Cang Dao, almost causing him to rebel on the spot as well.
He couldn't help but wonder, could the war between humans and demons really not be a racial war, but rather a war against exploitation and oppression?
After thinking about it carefully, it seems to be true.
Wolves have been eating sheep for hundreds of thousands of years. Don't the sheep ever think about fighting back?
The reason we didn't resist before was simply because we lacked the ability to resist.
But now, sheep can choose to transform into human form, unite with other races bullied by monsters, and then take revenge together.
The immortal realm certainly supports revenge; revenge is a central theme of cultivation, and even the Azure Heaven cannot say that such behavior is wrong.
However, your act of revenge has been exploited and become a tool of calamity!
Cang was filled with sorrow, but couldn't think of a good way to deal with it. After thinking for a long time, he decided to browse posts.
If there's Theory of Human Race's Inevitable Victory, is there also a theory that the Demon Race will inevitably win?
"Is there any chance that the demon race can win this great calamity's Human-Demon War and Demon Race?" Cang found such a post, which was very popular, with 1.4 billion views and more than 800,000 replies.
However, it's worth noting that even in discussions about the inevitable victory of the Demon Race, the majority of participants are still humans, as if humans naturally enjoy browsing forums while the Demon Race doesn't.
Cang looked at the top-rated answer.
"Many people believe that humanity will inevitably win, and even define this war as a war against exploitation and oppression, which I disagree with!"
Yeah, that's right, I don't agree either!
"I believe this is simply a war between two races over territory, no different from previous wars between races over water sources, orchards, and Spirit Vein. The only difference is that this war has a clearer subject. Excessive embellishment of the war is merely a sign of some people's lack of confidence!"
Yes, that's right. All that rambling is definitely because you lack confidence!
"Since it's a war, the outcome will naturally depend on the strength, combat skills, experience, and will of both sides. And in these parameters, the Demon Race completely overwhelms the human race!"
"In terms of strength, although nearly 1.5 billion Demon Race defect to the human race every day (data from the Divine Ability Download Ranking, daily downloads of [Innate Dao Body]), the Myriad Spirits of the Immortal Dao have multiplied in the Immortal Realm for nearly 300,000 years, and their numbers still far surpass those of the human race. Moreover, looking at the top experts like the Supreme Sage and Great Luo Immortals, not a single one is human! Whether it's the number of experts, the core strength, or the number of those at the bottom, the Demon Race completely overwhelms the human race!"
Cang remained silent upon seeing this.
He knew perfectly well that many Great Luo Immortals had already joined the human race. Although there was no human among the Saints, the Hun Tian Sect Master, apart from having an extra pair of wings, looked no different from a human.
If the evidence is flawed, how can the argument stand?
Keep reading.
"In terms of combat skill, combat experience, and fighting spirit, the Demon Race also far surpasses the human race. You must know that our vast Demon Race lives in the wild year-round, experiencing all kinds of battles every day. How can those lawful demons living in the city compare?"
If Cang Huan had only read the post, he would have believed it. But he only needed to scan the battlefields with his Divine Sense to find out that the whole thing was pure nonsense.
In terms of combat experience, the Demon Race may overwhelm the human race, but in terms of fighting spirit, the human race is a hundred levels above the Demon Race!
In fact, this was already evident when both sides were still Demon Race.
When wolves hunt, they will temporarily abandon the hunt if their own casualties are too high, in order to prevent the group from suffering too many losses and attracting other wolf packs or hunters.
However, older or younger sheep in the flock will voluntarily sacrifice themselves to let the older sheep go first.
When faced with a life-or-death decision, carnivorous Demon Race perform far worse than herbivorous Demon Race.
Of course, you could argue that older or younger sheep are inherently slow runners, but this spirit of sacrifice for others and for the collective is indeed ingrained in the human race's genes.
Therefore, if a group of humans faces a group of Demon Race, the human group might be killed out of 80 or 90 percent, but they might still retain their fighting spirit.
But the Demon Race, after losing three or five of their members, started thinking about a strategic retreat.
Fighting spirit? What kind of thing is that among Demon Race!
With two arguments refuted in a row, there's no need to read any further of this highly-rated answer.
What followed was a wavering of will.
Perhaps the Demon Race is truly no match for the human race, which is why posts advocating for the Demon Race seem so unconvincing?
Thinking about it carefully, I don't actually need to stand on the side of the Demon Race. Although I cultivate the Demonic Dao, it's not something I chose to do. It's just that I had the advantage of being there first, and then the path naturally gravitated towards the demon race.
My dream has always been to find a secluded place with my brothers, and quietly relax and bask in the sun.
After the human race takes over the world, will they stop me from sunbathing?
My Supreme Sage cultivation level is no joke!
Thinking of these things, Shenshan's heart was filled with light.
He wasn't a combative person to begin with, otherwise he wouldn't have refused to take on any disciples or establish any sects.
The beech tree shares the same personality. The two became friends because they were born together; they are the only two species on this mountain to have developed intelligence. In addition, they share similar interests.
Inserting into the war between humans and demons, having just woken up, and then getting involved in such a massive event as the Great Calamity, left him momentarily confused.
Now that things have calmed down, Shenshan realized that getting involved in this matter was completely pointless.
Even if the Demon Race is defeated, his Supreme Sage cultivation will not decline, because the Demon Race he was when he attained enlightenment was not the same as the Demon Race he is now.
His increased cultivation due to the change in the concept of the Demon Race was like money he found on the street.
Some people might think that losing something is a loss, but Shenshan is of a tranquil nature and does not have such strange thoughts. On the contrary, he feels that these things never belonged to him in the first place, and were simply returned after the defeat.
Even if he is defeated, he will not lose anything; he will still be that towering, majestic, sun-drenched sacred mountain.
Even if he wins, he won't gain anything except a slight increase in cultivation. But when the Demon Race rules this land, he, as Demonic Dao saint, might develop unwarranted desires, needlessly ruining his State of Mind.
For him, the Tao was an unexpected joy, not something he deliberately pursued. A simple and natural life was his true nature!
Therefore, in this Human-Demon War, I, Cang, will not participate!
In the blink of an eye, the Demonic Dao Supreme Sage withdrew.
He discovered something even more fun: the [Heavenly Dao Space Forum].
The netizens here are all talented and have such pleasant conversations; I love being here!
There are also anime, novels, movies, comics, and games.
Isn't this more fun than losing your hair from being so busy with war?
From then on, Cang, the biggest supporter of the Demon Race and a homebody by nature, and his good brother Qing Mang embraced the internet.
As a Supreme Sage of the Demonic Dao, Cang was too embarrassed to transform into human form, but this wasn't an issue in the online world.
Cang directly cultivated the [Innate Dao Body] in the [Heavenly Dao Space], and even dragged his brothers along with him.
The two of them thoroughly enjoyed themselves, using various entertainment facilities and methods designed for human beings.
Now, he felt even less nostalgic for his days as the Supreme Sage of the Demon Race.
