Chapter 70 Humans Refuse to Join the Demon Race
Chapter 70 Humans Refuse to Join the Demon Race
"Our Supreme Purity Morality establishes the teachings of humanity here!"
With the aim of tranquility, non-action, and following the natural way, we teach all living beings to act in accordance with Heaven!
The voice of Shangqing rang out from Buzhou Mountain and gradually spread throughout the entire prehistoric world.
After hearing the voice of Shangqing Daode, the concept of morality naturally arose in the minds of all the human races.
It can also be called: benevolence.
Then another voice rang out.
"I am Yuqing Yuanshi! I now establish the Chan Sect."
The essential principles are to respect Heaven, follow the Way, and elucidate the ultimate truth.
"Only by following the will of Heaven and cultivating deep roots can one attain the Great Way."
Yu Qing's voice carried the composure of a superior, and when his voice reached the minds of the human race, a longing welled up in everyone's hearts.
The desire for power, the desire for desire, the desire to control everything—this is a kind of desire.
It is also the driving force for human progress.
Next is Shangqing.
"I am Shangqing Tongtian! I now establish the Jie Sect."
The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Dao is forty-nine, and man escapes one of them, seizing the secrets of Heaven, and teaching without discrimination.
"Anyone who aspires to the Way may enter my gate of interception!"
What Yuqing gives to the human race is desire and the supremacy of the individual.
What Shangqing bestows upon humanity is selflessness, education for all, and the establishment of a world of great harmony.
Among humans, many people share this idea.
This is a seed, and this seed will take root and sprout in the future.
The three established their respective lineages in order of seniority, and then merits were bestowed upon them by heaven.
Under the baptism of merit, they each used their innate treasures to sever their own benevolent corpses.
Seeing this, everyone around became anxious.
The most urgent are Cundi and Jieyin.
"Senior brother, it seems that the method to become a saint still needs to be verified on the establishment of a religion. Now that the Three Pure Ones have already established a religion, we can't wait any longer."
Zhunti hurriedly advised, and Jieyin, seeing this, nodded and said, "Good, junior brother, we should establish a sect together."
Then the two put their hands together and said in unison:
"Heaven is above, I am the guide of the West, Zhunti, and hereby establish the Western Religion."
Feeling that all sentient beings are drowning in the sea of suffering, drifting aimlessly, I have established the Western religion, with the name Amitabha Buddha.
He made forty-eight great vows to universally save countless sentient beings from the cycle of rebirth in the six realms and to be reborn in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
The Buddha's teachings liberate all beings from suffering; may all beings be free from all afflictions!
The Buddha's light, representing wisdom, was also received by the human race.
People should do good and be compassionate.
Kindness was a quality that originated in the earliest humans.
However, for Jieyin and Zhunti, the Buddhist practice they follow requires them to suppress their evil thoughts.
However, their Buddhist cultivation is profound, and those evil thoughts are things that they can easily suppress with one hand.
However, for humans, once good and evil are sown, the seven emotions and six desires also arise.
The three Pure Ones simultaneously turned their gazes toward Jieyin and Zhunti.
At that moment, golden light descended from the sky, and the two of them successfully used this power of merit to sever their good corpses.
Then they felt the gaze of the Three Pure Ones, which was a struggle over the orthodox lineage.
Both of them wore wry smiles. Well, now that's it, they couldn't defeat the Three Pure Ones.
The core idea of the Three Pure Ones is still based on benevolence.
The two Western saints are based on good and evil desires.
For humans, they must always choose one ideology to become their own.
The Styx Ancestor couldn't wait any longer, so he quickly spoke up.
"I, Styx, here establish the Asura realm!"
He entered the path of Tao through killing, cutting away all falsehood.
Karma proves the path to enlightenment; Asuras reign supreme!
Another golden light descended from the sky, and Styx's face was filled with ecstatic joy.
However, Styx soon showed an embarrassed expression, because he found that the merits he accumulated did not allow him to break through to the Quasi-Saint realm.
"Why don't I have enough merit?"
The Styx Ancestor looked at the human race before him, but for a moment he couldn't figure out why.
The idea of entering the Dao through slaughter has also entered the minds of these billions of humans.
It is not enough to have benevolence and virtue alone, nor is it enough to have good and evil alone; one must also retaliate with blood and teeth.
Seeing this, Donghuang Taiyi and Dijun no longer hesitated.
As time went on, they felt they had less and less merit, so they wanted to immediately establish their own lineage.
"I, Emperor Jun, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, hereby command the demon race, and all spirits of heaven and earth shall submit to the demon race!"
From this moment forward, establish the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race, set the moral order of the primordial world, delineate the celestial positions, and quell the chaos in the world.
From this day forward, all demons will return to order, the heavens will be governed by rules, and we, acting as shepherds of the people, will hold the reins of destiny!
Their words almost implied that they wanted to take control of the entire prehistoric world.
Many people wanted to refute this, but when Donghuang Taiyi revealed the Chaos Bell, everyone fell silent.
Golden light fell from the sky once more, this time comparable to the golden light that Nuwa used when she created humankind.
The immense merit instantly elevated both of them to the ranks of quasi-saints, and they displayed their benevolent corpses.
After their strength increased dramatically, the two burst into laughter.
Then, Donghuang Taiyi turned to look at the billions of humans and asked in an incomparably domineering imperial voice, "Can you humans be incorporated into the demon race and thus placed under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court?"
This question arose in the minds of every human being, and then all of them answered in unison.
"We are human beings, we will not join the demon race!"
Billions of humans spoke simultaneously, their enormous voices resonating and spreading throughout the entire primordial world from Mount Buzhou.
Donghuang Taiyi's face immediately darkened, and even Dijun frowned.
"All living beings under heaven are of the demon race, yet the human race actually refuses to be a demon. How laughable!"
Donghuang Taiyi just asked a question, using his supernatural powers to ask everyone.
They wanted to use an overbearing attitude to make them willingly submit, but deep down, all of humanity refused.
The Three Pure Ones spoke up, with Dao De stroking his beard and saying, "The Human Religion is the Human Religion of the human race, not the Human Religion of the demon race."
Yuan Shi said coldly, "What an arrogant fellow! Born and raised by nature, you are a demon?"
The demon race is nothing more than a group of creatures with fur and horns; the true manifestations of heaven and earth are spiritual beings and spirit beasts.
Tongtian laughed and said, "Whether you are a demon or a spirit beast or a human, you can all become my disciples. However, Fellow Daoist Donghuang, humans cannot be merged into demons."
Immediately afterwards, the Tai Chi diagram unfolded, the Pangu Banner rose, and the Zhuxian Sword Formation flickered in the sky.
Upon seeing this, Donghuang Taiyi's expression turned even uglier.
Di Jun cupped his hands to the crowd and said, "Since that's the case, then the human race will no longer be under the jurisdiction of my Heavenly Court."
One year later, my Heavenly Court will hold the Peach Banquet, and I cordially invite you all to attend.
The two golden crows flew away, and then the Three Pure Ones, sensing something, began to deduce the truth.
After a moment, the three Pure Ones showed a hint of surprise on their faces, and then looked at the human race in front of them with some pity in their eyes.
Seeing this, Nuwa also tried to make deductions. When they reached the level of Quasi-Saint, they were able to communicate with the Heavenly Dao.
They can view the script as long as Heaven is willing, provided, of course, that they are willing.
In Nuwa's eyes, she saw some of the future.
It was a battlefield, where strong demons wore armor and wielded steel swords, while weak humans lay dead everywhere.
