Flame Demons had originally evolved from human-like Demonic Beasts. They had no cultivation and had never come into contact with humans. Flame Demons that grew up in the wild were Demonic Beasts. They did not know any ethics, and would never think of marrying people of the same surname. Many Flame Demons did not even have names.
They had lived in the Xuantian Continent for many years and came into contact with human intelligence. Only then did they gradually develop humanity. However, in terms of intermarriage, they could never be like humans. Demons were demons. When they saw someone they liked, they wanted to express it in the most direct way, regardless of whether the other party was their own sister or someone else.
After listening to Supremacy's words, Ye Zhen was speechless for a long time.
"Don't you have a Demon King? Why don't you set some restrictions? Do you know the consequences of intermarriage? "Ye Zhen could not help but be angry. The Flame Demons had forced themselves into a dead end.
Supremacy's eyes flashed with doubt. "We are demons, not like humans."
"That's why your willfulness caused so many innocent children to fall ill," Ye Zhen said coldly.
"You mean, intermarriage caused the children's skin color …" Supremacy's brows furrowed tightly. "Don't humans also have cousins who get married?"
Ye Zhen sighed. "They are not biological siblings, nor do they have the same surname."
"I didn't expect it to be like this." Supremacy fell into deep thought.
"Let's take a look at the children first." Just as he said, demons were hard to change. It would take a long time to stop Flame Demons from marrying people of the same surname.
Supremacy brought Ye Zhen into the house. The ten children were sitting on stools obediently. When they saw them enter, they stood up in a panic.
"Greetings, Demon King, High Priest."
Perhaps someone had taught them, but when they saw Ye Zhen and Supremacy, they immediately knelt down to pay their respects.
Ming Xi, who was standing beside Ye Zhen, looked at them curiously.
Ye Zhen could not be bothered to explain that she was not a Flame Demon King.
She walked over to the child and said gently, "Get up, all of you."
"What's your name?" She looked at the child and asked.
The child said softly, "My name is Mu Tong."
"You were twitching on the ground yesterday. Did you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice. She held the child's hand. Yesterday, she was in a hurry and didn't have time to feel his pulse.
The heartbeat and pulse of a demon was different from that of a human. Ye Zhen had learned this from a medical book, but this child's pulse was the same as that of a human's.
She took out a silver needle and gently pricked it between Mouton's thumb and forefinger. A drop of blood appeared.
The color of the blood droplets was light, different from normal blood.
She watched Mouton's eyes carefully.
Mouton's pupils were different from a normal person's. They were not black or amber, but a pale pink. Even his eyebrows, hair, and body hair were white. This illness was called albinism, and was more common in people who married close relatives.
It seemed that her judgment was correct.
"Fortunately, there is no sunlight here. Otherwise, these albinos would have a worse time." Ye Zhen said coldly.
"What do you mean?" the Supreme asked in surprise.
"They are albinos. They cannot be exposed to the light." Ye Zhen sighed. "Do you remember when this illness started?"
The Supreme said in a low voice, "Before I reincarnated, there were already people like this. It was already … two hundred years ago. There were only one or two, so I didn't take it to heart."
"You have no qualms about intermarrying. As long as one of you has this illness, or the existence of this illness, it will spread. In addition, you are all close relatives, and even siblings have no qualms about it. The chances of you getting sick are even greater." Ye Zhen shook her head. "I'm afraid I can't cure this illness. Unless I can help them be reborn, no one in this world can help them."
"What if it can't be cured?" The Supreme looked at these children. Thinking of the thousands of people out there suffering from this illness, his expression turned solemn. Did the heavens really want the Flame Demons to go down the path of extinction?
Ye Zhen touched Mouton's hair. He was not even ten years old, but now he had a head of white hair.
In such an environment, without any medical treatment, how long could these children live? Ye Zhen closed her eyes. "Only fifteen."
"Is there no other way?" The Supreme's calm finally broke. "Their parents can live for a long time."
"Let's go out and talk," Ye Zhen said. She glanced at the children and walked out of the room with the Supreme.
"Yao Yao, the lifespan of the Flame Demons is long …" The Supreme said.
Ye Zhen said in a low voice, "I know what you mean, but this child already had an illness yesterday. Did their parents also have an illness? They're no longer just albinos — all the problems of inbreeding have erupted in them. Their parents may live longer, but that doesn't mean they're fine. I believe you should've noticed that it's rare for young balrogs to succeed in their studies, and those who can cultivate are those who aren't affected by inbreeding. There's also those like you who have lived for centuries … "
"What should we do? Are the Flame Demons really going to die? "The Supreme's voice was pained.
"I don't know. My medical skills can't cure them. Even if we have the spiritual spring, it's useless. They have no other way but to be reborn." Ye Zhen waved her hand. She wanted to help them, but … she couldn't.
The Supreme looked down at her with burning eyes and clasped his hands on her shoulders. "You have it! Yao Yao, only you have a way to cure them. "
It was the first time Ye Zhen had seen such an excited Supreme. She frowned and pushed his hands away.
But his hands were like an iron wall, unable to be pushed away. "Supreme!"
"You have the Devil Core. You can practice the highest cultivation method of the Demon King. There is no one else but you. Only if you practice the Rebirth Cultivation Method can you reborn them." The Supreme said excitedly, "Yao Yao, this is why God chose you. You are here to save us Flame Demons."
"I don't know what you are talking about!" Ye Zhen frowned and cried, "Let me go!"
Only then did he realize that he was too excited. He let go of Ye Zhen's shoulder, and his tone was still a little anxious. "Yao Yao, we Flame Devils have another set of cultivation methods called the Rebirth Cultivation Method. Only the Flame Devil King who has obtained the magic core can cultivate to the last level. Although I have also cultivated it, I can only reach the eighth level. Only you can cultivate to the ninth level, then you can help those children be reborn, and even help others rebuild their Qi Sea."
Ye Zhen shook her head. "Impossible!"
"It's possible!" The Supreme said, "Yao Yao, you said that you are a doctor, a great doctor in the world. Do you have the heart to watch them die? If you don't save them, all of them will die, and the Flame Demons will perish."
"I may not be able to practice to the ninth level," Ye Zhen said in a low voice. "Supreme, I am not a Flame Demon."
"There will be no one else but you," the Supreme said.
There were extremely few Flame Devil Kings who were able to do it, but he believed that Ye Zhen would definitely be able to cultivate to the ninth level.
"Let me think about it."
