Chapter 493: Demon Transformation Ceremony

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the Demon Conference called by the Demon Alliance Headquarters, many significant figures were gathered.

They were not puppets, they had their own thoughts, and had their own perceptions on different matters…

Currently, the internal of Demon Alliance was clearly divided into three which was just right for each of the three executive committees to be assigned to one each.

On the stage, military affairs executive member Cang Lang and the logistics executive member, the ancestor of greater rats, were having an intense confrontation.

As for the human resource executive, the volcanic rat demon that was known as both the Western Devil Rats’ Demon King and “Infernal Flame”, seemed to have equal authority, he was sitting with a dignified look.

However, those with sharp eyes could tell that he was completely indifferent towards the heated argument that was happening in front of him.

Not only that, this human resource executive even seemed to be restless, as if he were not an executive member in a high position, but rather an employee hoping to be dismissed early…

All of a sudden, their quarrel progressed to a new phase.

“Brother Cang Lang, since you know so much about the Qing Dynasty, you should know how it was established. One of their secret to success is that they controlled the core of the military forces by themselves, they widely coordinated the Hans as their assistants, and defeated the Hans using the Hans… One should benefit from past experiences by learning from mistakes.” In a collected manner, Elder Ancestor Bai countered.

At this moment, when the outstanding figures among the demons heard what he said, they instantly came to a sudden realization and nodded one after another.

While human culture developed, of course, they did not isolate themselves but had long studied human history in depth. Ultimately, they were all powerhouses with considerable strengths, thus they could easily have extraordinary memories.

Their understanding of human history was so pronounced that they were far better than more than 90 percent of ordinary humans.

The recent land displacement that occurred in China was in fact caused by the Qing Dynasty.

No matter how the later generation tried to find excuses for it, the truth was they had achieved what was called a successful ruling to the Hans, by using a small group of people. Ever since they were enslaved, hundred of years had passed, until this very day, many people still knelt down to them.

Upon hearing that, Cang Lang froze as he could not challenge what Elder Ancestor Bai had said, for facts spoke the loudest.

He lowered his head a little to mask the killing intent shown through his eyes. He did not realize that the elder ancestor had such an insightful understanding of human history, and could even make use of it. In comparison, he had descended too late so his understanding of humans was far from his.

“Elder ancestor, you’re right, as long as we get hold of the gun barrel, those feeble humans will have to bow down to us. They’ll come in very handy as they’ll have to do as we say, it’ll be way easier than nurturing those illiterate little demons again.” A demon blurted out and agreed,

“Yes, you’re very wise, elder ancestor.”

The advantages of roping in human talent was evident to these demons from the upper management, at the end of the day, who would not like to own more servants?

The treatment given by them would be totally insignificant when compared with the value they carried.

Relatively speaking, the period of time required would be too long if they were to establish a school anew to educate little demons that had just transformed into humans.

Presently in some demon schools, the teaching materials were just imitations of human education where China’s scripts were used.

After all, it was comparatively easier, as it would take at least ten years to prepare those materials from scratch, which would only be possible in the future. For the time being, they were following the footsteps of China’s neighboring countries, by which Chinese was used first, and then they would progress into development of their own characters.

As for why they chose not to continue using characters from the upper realm, the answer spoke for itself. They wanted to gain acceptance of the Heavenly Axiom from this realm, hence the best way would be to employ local scripts.

Elder Ancestor Bai managed to suppress Cang Lang by using the Qing Dynasty as an example, causing him to be at a loss for words.

When he looked around, he saw that most of the demons and even some wolf demons were expressing agreement to what the ancestor had said.

Cang Lang pondered, ‘Hmph, a bunch of short-sighted fellows, soon enough you’ll be assimilated by humans. When the upper realm takes in humans as demons, they must go through a ceremony for demon transformation…’

Once he thought about that, he immediately composed himself and uttered in a hypocritical manner, “If that’s the case, you’re truly the one with great foresight, elder ancestor. I was being too slow-witted, please forgive me if I’ve offended you in any way with my speech.”

“Hehe, you’re being kind, Brother Lang. You’re doing it for the public and for Demon Alliance anyway, I’m not a narrow-minded man, how can I be offended? You must not be like this, you must not be like this.” Elder Ancestor Bai replied generously.

Right away, compliments were thrown around.

Now that there were two points of view, the prime demon figures would naturally support the one who would benefit them the most, this was the main trend.

Even Cang Lang who was extremely strong could not sail against the wave of approval.

That being said, he was still a cunning demon, soon after he gave in, he added, “Elder ancestor, no doubt the talent-seeking poster was a great move, but there’s a flaw to it. Know that good and bad are mixed up together, those humans who come might not necessarily be of one mind with us as most of them only treat this place as their shelter. Once everything is over, they’ll return. Everyone, do you think we should provide them with their own set of benefits?”

“No!” Very quickly, somebody subconsciously acted in concert, which caused more people to respond together.

“What should we do then?” Somebody raised the question.

Elder Ancestor Bai furrowed his brows, he had been advertising the idea of “freedom of movement, freedom of choice”, which allowed him to attract those from the modern era, and resulted in the arrival of virtuous ones.

From the perspective of modernists, freedom of choice had become an ingrained idea.

He looked at his contender with deep, meaningful looks.

“We should have a Demon Transformation Ceremony for all naturalized humans!” Cang Lang grinned. “This way, it’ll be impossible for them to return to where they came from! Elder ancestor, your example of the Qing Dynasty reminded me. One of the key reason they were able to enslave the Hans is the act of ‘shaving heads and changing clothes’! 1 The Hans then lost their mental pillar and treated themselves as slaves.”

“Tss… Executive Cang Lang’s suggestion is wonderful!” Instantly, somebody clapped.

“That’s right, when humans in the upper realm enter demon clan, each of them had to go through Demon Transformation Ceremony in order to distinguish them from their human forms, we ought to do it too.”

“What’s a Demon Transformation Ceremony?” Some local heroic figures were clueless about this, hence they looked like they were yearning for an answer as if it was desperately serious.

“Oh, it’s actually very simple. Humans who undergo the Demon Transformation Ceremony will either grow tails or long fur on their bodies or have a chin that sticks out and a face like a monkey…” Some of the demons with ill intentions let out shrieks of laughter.

“That’s exactly it. From then, we won’t have to worry about them turning the Demon Alliance into Human-Demon Alliance. Elder ancestor, what do you think?” Cang Lang declared proudly.

He successfully put him on the spot, such that he turned his tricks against him and played him at his own game.

Elder Ancestor Bai no longer put on a friendly smile, he immediately looked stern as he knew very well the uproar it would cause once this order was made.

At the very least, it would adversely affect the flow of talents that was currently going on in full swing. “Demon transformation” was not an easy matter, humans were humans, if they were to transform into demons, they would lose many things and would experience a certain change in their characters too.

In a way, the loss outweighed the gain. Just like what Vigilante A said, demons were also humans under transformation. When demons undergo transformations, those that become more like humans and were more superior, with greater cultivation potentials.

On the other hand, the Demon Transformation Ceremony did the exact opposite; fully transformed humans would degenerate into demons.

Just like some of those anti-religious behaviors, when one worshipped something that lagged behind and treated it as something of importance, it was a grave mistake unbeknownst to that person.

This wolf was right, this was just like the ‘shaving heads and changing clothes’ incident, the Demon Transformation Ceremony was civilization bowing down to savagery.

“I think we can still make this a voluntary thing, the talent-seeking poster has just been announced and there are new clues of the crisis, humans are not hopeless yet, it’s best that we refrain from being too pushy.” Elder Ancestor Bai reflected over and over again, he was unwilling to back off.

Nobody knew that his wild ambitions were constantly growing, and nobody knew how ambitious he was at the moment.

Just like how Zhu Yuanzhang only wanted to have baked sesame-seed coated cakes for his meals. 2
