Chapter 558: Human Race

Everyone knows that after that great war.

If you compare my mother to that continent, then my mother’s life is definitely worth much, much more than that continent.

After all, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan Royal Family was already declining; their destiny was exhausted.

Everyone knew this.

Not just me.

My Imperial Father, or perhaps the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan of the Ten Thousand Demon Country at the time, understood this even better.

Therefore, at that time, the Royal Family of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan dared to dispatch troops to completely conquer that place.

They did not believe it was a trap.

Because they did not believe the Heavenly Frost White Snake Clan would abandon her life.

Her life was far more important!

At the time, She Qiqi thought this way, and even many generals and ministers believed the same.

However, what they didn’t expect was this.

My Imperial Father actually completely gave up on my mother.

Ultimately, this led to the death of my Imperial Mother.

This scene should have been impossible, but it happened in the end, which makes it unbelievable.

If there were no greater benefits or other reasons behind this.

Then, he absolutely would not have believed it.

“The truth behind it?”

The Demon Emperor seemed to recall something extremely distant.

The Demon Emperor took another sip of wine and looked up at the sky.

In his gaze, there was a hint of melancholy and special memories.

“Yes, Qiqi. That’s right, I abandoned your Imperial Mother not just because of that simple continent.

Behind this, there must be a deeper meaning.

However, this was not a transaction.

It was simply because of your mother’s ideology.

Your mother possesses the Bloodline of the Human Race and the Heavenly Frost White Snake Clan.

Your mother had a natural affinity for the Human Race.

Your mother deeply understood the suffering of humans.

If your mother merely wanted to fight for some benefits for the Human Race, then I would not have said anything.

But your mother wanted to gain status for the Human Race—a status equal to the Yao Race!

Your mother already had extremely high merit, even overshadowing me.

This resulted in your mother having an extremely high status in the military and within the Heavenly Frost White Snake Clan.

If, at that time, I had allowed your mother to live.

Your mother would certainly have initiated a transformation that would shock the entire Ten Thousand Demon Country!

At that time, the status of the Human Race would undergo a massive change.

Furthermore, by that time, the Human Race would not be satisfied with their current status; they would choose to rely on your mother, and then another upheaval would occur in the Ten Thousand Demon Country.

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan Royal Family is utterly corrupt. If I were to acquire the Ten Thousand Demon Country, and then your mother led another violent upheaval.

Then, at that time, the Giant Country and other nations, even those vassal states, would continuously flock over like they smelled fresh meat, trying to get a piece of the action.

They would even want to carve a piece of meat from our Ten Thousand Demon Country.

At that time, the entire Yao Race would likely fall into endless catastrophe.

The replacement of Dynasties is an extremely normal matter: what is divided must unite, and what is united must divide.

Qiqi, you must know that almost no Dynasty can exist forever.

The replacement of a Dynasty only involves certain factions, or the selfish desires of certain individuals or tribes.

However, all of this is so insignificant in the face of a race’s survival.

Therefore, if, because of your mother, the Heavenly Frost White Snake Clan, and even the entire Yao Race, were dragged into endless suffering, then I absolutely would not agree.”

“I believe Mother must have considered these points.”

Listening to the Demon Emperor’s words, She Qiqi frowned slightly and spoke.

“Of course.”

The Demon Emperor finished the last sip of wine in the wine jar.

“In some respects, your mother was actually much smarter than me.

Things I could consider, your mother naturally could consider as well.

But even if she considered them, what good would that do?

Qiqi, in this world, no one can calculate everything.

No one can completely stabilize all situations.

Including you.

And when your mother decided to act that way, a seed was already planted.

No one knows what kind of great tree that seed would eventually grow into.

Even if your mother guided the growth and trajectory of this great tree, can you guarantee that everything would be completely fine?

Qiqi, human desire has no limits.

Although we of the Yao Race were bloodthirsty at first.

Compared to humans, however, we are simply too insignificant.

Humans are much more cunning.

If they gain one, they want to gain two.

If they gain two, they want to gain three.

If they gain three, they want to gain everything.

I did discuss these matters with your mother, but she didn’t listen.

In my opinion, the only correct course of action is to completely conquer the Myriad Laws World, establish the Yao Race as the dominant power, and then slowly raise the status of the Human Race.

Otherwise, the Myriad Laws World is still eyeing us covetously over there.

And yet, on our side, the Human Race and the Yao Race stir up a transformation.

If the Myriad Laws World interferes at that point, wouldn’t the Ten Thousand Demon Country be destroyed?

Therefore, this is why I refused to save your mother back then.

From the perspective of the Heavenly Frost White Snake Clan, and for the sake of the Yao Race, your mother had to die.

Of course, for the Human Race, your mother had to live.”

Listening to the Demon Emperor’s words, She Qiqi sighed and shook her head.

“In my opinion, that is not the case.

Indeed.

To raise the status of the Human Race, the Yao Race would have to concede some status.

But the Human Race population accounts for more than thirty percent of the Ten Thousand Demon Country.

How can this thirty percent of the population be ignored?

Furthermore, the Ten Thousand Demon Country is currently oppressing the Human Race so severely.

If the Myriad Laws World and the Demon Race World go to war, can Imperial Father guarantee that thirty percent of the Human Race won’t take action?

Being oppressed, they will only resist more fiercely, perhaps even turning the Ten Thousand Demon Country upside down.

Although Mother’s actions reduced some of the Yao Race’s authority.

It gave the Human Race a chance to breathe.

Moreover, if we had successfully placated the Human Race in the Ten Thousand Demon Country.

Then, when the two Worlds went to war, it would have been easier for us to incite rebellion among the people in the Myriad Laws World. Yet, Mother died just like that.”
