Chapter 448: Chapter 352 Threshold with Credentials_2

In the past, some humans also worshipped the Supreme Demon, but this group was not too large; most people were quite ordinary, not believing in this Supreme Demon nor that one. It was something that the many predecessors of the human race had fought for with their lives, even at the cost of calamities befalling their descendants.

But alien demons influenced by the Supreme Demon were different...

Therefore, for alien demons, Lin Yaoyao could create situations similar to that of Shao Heng; thus alien demons could retain most of the notions belonging to their human precursors. Without being completely in tune with humans, at least they could retain enough of the human ideas when facing the Supreme Demon, unlike other alien demons that held newly born ideas.

Humans, alien demons, Supreme Demon servants... beings that could be called part of the demonic tribe, as well as the top-tier Supreme Demons—actually, there are not a few races in this world.

On the way to her residence, Lin Yaoyao gently scratched her cheek, "You know, since the Diviners consider us to be the Daughter of Heaven’s Mandate, does what I’m about to do count as following Heaven’s Mandate?"

"You really believe what those Diviners said?" Liu Hongzhao said coldly, her face expressionless. She didn’t have a high opinion of Diviners, and she scoffed at their talk of the Daughter of Heaven’s Mandate. If anything, it brought her nothing but trouble.

Sometimes when she left the Dusk Territory, she would be harassed by some bold ’flies’ and others who had yet to understand the significance of ’face’ tried to morally kidnap her.

"Sigh, I just find it quite coincidental, forget it, since things have come to this, I’ll just continue with my research," Lin Yaoyao waved it off. Initially, her research was for her parents.

But after the dream of the water’s moon shattered, her original direction changed, the distant end goal now seemed within reach, and the extreme thoughts and actions she had once needed to continue with were no longer necessary. All that was left was making some adjustments based on what she already had.

In the dungeon, the alien demon Shao Heng put down the book he was holding when he saw Zheng Yichen arrive. When he saw Liu Hongzhao, a look of realization flashed in his eyes; the dangerous aura he had initially sensed belonged to Liu Hongzhao.

"How did my outcome turn out?"

Zheng Yichen asked, "Pretty good, but I have a question for you. The possibility of war between alien demons and the human race in the future is very high. What will you do then?"

Shao Heng fell silent for a while; he had been asked this question by Qi Xiangyun and Lin Yaoyao before. He said, "Since ancient times, there are countless examples of strife and killing among humans. As long as intelligent beings exist, conflicts will not disappear. Even if wars among humans continue, in the end, it is the humans who prevail, and their foundational heritage remains unchanged."

"I can’t decide how wars will unfold, but in terms of preserving heritage, I believe that of the human race is superior. If the war arises from alien demons seeking to survive, I would choose neutrality and try to preserve some alien demons."

"However, if the war is for alien demons to exterminate the human race and its heritage, I would stand with the human race."

Zheng Yichen was quite amazed by Shao Heng’s words, "The Imperial Examination Scholar from the former dynasty saw quite far ahead."

Shao Heng shook his head, "It’s not farsightedness, but inevitability. The precursor of alien demons was human, and alien demons arose from the catastrophe brought by the Demon Flower. Foundations? Heritage? There’s none to speak of. Even knowledge, martial arts, and spells all originate from the heritage of the human race."

"If alien demons wage war not for racial survival but to erase the human race and claim its foundational heritage for themselves, that’s plagiarism!"

"Moreover, the depth of alien demons’ foundations won’t be profound, making them more susceptible to the influence of Supreme Demons. If war does happen, it’s less likely it would be waged by alien demons fighting for space to survive; the second scenario is more probable."

In his previous memories, the Demon Flower’s pollen had already spread across the land. How much of humanity could remain now? Could the human race, possibly reduced by ninety percent, have the strength to launch a war to fight for survival rights?

The situation is more likely to be the second scenario, and with the addition of the Supreme Demons... Considering the ancient struggle between the human race and Supreme Demons and so on, facing the gradually awakening intelligent alien demons, how could Supreme Demons stay peaceful? Neophyte alien demons are easier to ’guide’ compared to humans."

"Were teachers from the former dynasty all this impressive?" Zheng Yichen smacked his lips. After undergoing Lin Yaoyao’s research, Shao Heng had not left the dungeon and was virtually ignorant of the outside world, yet he still made so many insightful analyses, seeing some issues so clearly... Could an average alien demon do this?

Of course, what Shao Heng did not know was that the situation for the Supreme Demons was also not very favorable, and as for alien demons actively waging war to try to wipe out the human race and claim humanity’s foundational heritage for themselves, thinking about it, the possibility of that happening was not low.

"It’s an Imperial Examination Scholar with credentials," Shao Heng stressed, although his predecessor’s credentials had long been lost somewhere.

Zheng Yichen looked at Qi Xiangyun, "What difference does that make?"

"Well... anyone who can recognize all the characters can become a teacher, but a teacher with credentials should at least start from being a metropolitan examination scholar, I guess," Qi Xiangyun thought for a moment and said. There were many scholars in the dynasty, but beyond the metropolitan examination level, their numbers dwindled significantly, not to mention Imperial Examination Scholars and second highest scholars like readers.

An ordinary teacher faced the general populace, while a credentialed teacher, when venturing beyond Capital City, would be welcomed by the local authorities as long as such a teacher didn’t meddle in local affairs and just focused on teaching.
