"Master, is there no way for all living beings to coexist peacefully?" Monkey King asked anxiously.
Chen Ang smiled and asked, "Can you make tigers not eat rabbits, wolves not offend sheep, humans not slaughter beasts, and all living beings not kill each other? Even if all the demons in the world learn from those monks and become vegetarians, wouldn't plants and trees be resentful? All living beings in the world kill each other, the strong prey on the weak, survival of the fittest. This is the Heavenly Dao... how can we escape? "
Monkey King kowtowed, "Master, I have no regrets!"
"Wukong isn't a demon. He's just a tiny stone monkey in the Eastern Sea. He mingled with a group of monkeys and was nurtured by the heavens and the earth. Fortunately, he was bestowed by the heavens and gained intelligence. He entered the tutelage of a teacher and learned the Dao. Only then did he gradually gain intelligence and understand the Great Dao. This path of leading demons, killing each other, slaughtering the human race, and gathering all living beings to become demons, Wukong is absolutely unwilling to take it. "
"Today, as the Demon King, I only wish for all living beings in the world to be enlightened and gain wisdom. Teach the Demon Race to transcend the nature of beasts, to transcend the human race. I hope that Teacher can guide all the Demons and Demons in the world to a path of transcendence! "
"There is another path." Chen Ang said calmly, "That is to say, among the myriad of creatures in the world, those who are enlightened with spiritual wisdom will be able to transcend their own race, wash away their herd nature, and become one. In other words, the tigers, leopards, wolves, bears, apes, monkeys, oxen, and horses formed their own clan. They no longer saw their own clansmen as their own kind. The tiger demon ate the tiger, and the ox demon ate the ox. From then on, they formed their own clan. They only saw their original bodies as the reincarnation of their previous lives. "
"From now on, demons and beasts will be worlds apart. It is best to wash away their original body and change their scales. This is the Dao of Unification."
Monkey King was shocked, "How can they do this? After gaining wisdom and learning skills, they will no longer see their own kind and see themselves as higher beings. This... How are they different from beasts? Even those ferocious Demon Kings and Demon Kings would look up to their own kind. After attaining the Dao, they will see their own kind as ants. How can there be such a logic in the world? "
"I don't think that you will take this path... It is not that there is no such logic in the world. It is a necessary process for a civilization to succeed. But this path has already been taken by someone. The Heaven Court is the same. However, the Heaven Court is more magnanimous than I said. Among the celestials, how many are humans and how many are demons? There are also all kinds of living beings with strange origins. Do you think they are humans or demons? No... they will only think they are gods or immortals. This was the transcendent race, the foundation of civilization's recognition. You've lost the initiative. If you imitate a cat and draw a tiger, your future won't be good. "
Chen Ang said calmly, "The Jade Emperor ruled over the Three Realms. There were thousands of species in the world, each belonging to their own. There were humans and demons, and they loved and killed each other. It was ten thousand times more complicated than the demon race that you want to unify. The conflict between humans and demons, the conflict between humans and celestials, was a hundred times more complicated than you. If you can't even adjust the ideology of a demon, you can forget about overthrowing the Heaven Court and establishing the Dao of Gods! "
"I am also impressed by the Jade Emperor's actions. In ancient times, humans and gods lived together. The great mediums of each race, gods and immortals, all recognized their own race. Thus, the races fought and karma involved the ancient gods, causing wars. The war between Zhurong and Gonggong, the war between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou were all like this. The ancient gods fought and killed each other for their own race. The laws of heaven and earth were in chaos."
"Later on, the Jade Emperor was born and built the 33 Heavens. He summoned the great mediums of each race to be officials in the Heaven Court. They separated themselves from the race and established order. They were restrained by the laws of heaven and could not participate in the war in the lower realm. Then, he attacked the disobedient gods of the three realms and suppressed the remaining ancient gods. Goumang, Xuanming, Candle Dragon, Queen Mother of the West and Ju Ju were all killed. Later, the Jade Emperor cleaned up the Heaven Court and slowly pushed out the remaining ancient gods who surrendered to the Heaven Court. Gods like Count of Wind, Master of Rain, and Arbiter of Fate did not appear in the Heaven Court."
"When those who achieved Dao were promoted by the Jade Emperor, they separated themselves from the race and did not have much affection for the race. They only recognized themselves as immortals and mortals in the lower realm. They obeyed the laws of heaven and forgot about their kinship. How could they still treat themselves as mortals of the same race? How vicious is it to fabricate a celestial god civilization? "
"Such a cruel tribulation lasted for hundreds of thousands of years. It was unbelievably long. With great patience, the Jade Emperor eliminated the huge power of the ancient immortals bit by bit. There were political struggles and even direct confrontations. Many soul-stirring stories happened. The ancient god Xingtian fought with the Jade Emperor and was beheaded. When Yu the Great was controlling the flood, a demon god Wu Zhiqi appeared. The Jade Emperor killed Gun, the father of Emperor Yu. The secrets and entanglements lasted for many thousands of years! "
"This tribulation had a name. It was called the Forbidden Heavenly Passage. It was named after the most symbolic event in this tribulation: Emperor is Zhong Li, the Forbidden Heavenly Passage, and the Forbidden Heavenly Passage. "
"The immortals in this world were born from all kinds of beings. They achieved great power and became one with the gods. Gradually, the sky was high and the earth was high. When the Jade Emperor became enlightened, he would be able to reach the Forbidden Heavenly Passage. From then on, the immortals would no longer be humans or demons. They would be immortals who would rule the world forever!"
"Therefore, the first taboo in the Law of Heaven is the illicit relationship between immortals and mortals. In the past, Goddess Yaoji had an illicit relationship with mortals and gave birth to the Three Saintesses and God Erlang. She was imprisoned on the Peach Mountain to respect the Law of Heaven. The Jade Emperor even punished his own sister.
It was dangerous. "Chen Ang told him about the ancient events. The bloodlust and murderous aura in his words shocked the Monkey King.
"I refuse!" Wukong raised his head and said, "Master, I'm definitely not willing to learn from the Great Heavenly Venerate and create a demon race. I'm fighting for the position of the Demon Emperor to open up a way out for all the living beings in the world who are not accepted by the Heavenly Courts so that they don't have to bear the name of demons and be killed by the Heavenly Courts. They don't have to live in a daze and die in the morning.
"I want freedom for all the beings in the world. What I fight for is civilization. I don't want them to fight against the human race or to create a noble among demons who don't see their own kind as demons!"
Chen Ang sighed and said, "Nationalism is the easiest way to be invaded by other races. If there is no 'him', there is no 'me'. If there is no exclusion, it will be difficult to be with me. The division of the upper class, the departure of humans and gods, and the Forbidden Heavenly Passage all originate from the difference in levels. In the end, the levels are solidified. Firstly, you don't want to emphasize the levels. Secondly, you don't want to exclude the outsiders and start a war with the human race. You want to combine the complicated species of demons that kill each other and feed on each other into one and give birth to a civilization! "
