"Earth doesn't belong to humans, ultimately, humans only transformed from wild beasts, they were just ahead in gaining sapience so they have the upper hand!" The wolf demon speaking on the platform suddenly raised its voice.
"It's because they had it better that they've ruled over the earth for a hundred thousand years, wherever they go, wild beasts that are more powerful than them will be exterminated!
"Our ancestors were driven into barren mountains, plains, dense forests. We gave away the sweetest lakes and the generative rivers, yet they're still not letting us go!"
Right after the wolf demon said that, it reached its hand out and a picture appeared behind it, displayed on the electronic screen on the platform.
"Bam...!"
"Bam!"
"Hahaha!"
A bright colored vigorous tiger fell onto the grass without strength, further from where it was, two humans with hunting guns laughed elatedly.
"Woof, woof, woof."
A group of hunting dogs surrounded a wild pig in the middle and tore it apart...
Elephants were seen falling down one after another as their ivories were taken down by humans, causing frightening wounds to be seen on their heads...
"Look, they're unquenchable and unrestrained. Even though they're well fed, they still hunt our ancestors for pleasure!
"Our sad ancestors had no sapience so when they were being hunted or exterminated, it's their natural instinct to migrate or escape, they only knew to stay far away from humans!
"But is that useful? Can you tell me?"
The pale white head of the wolf demon currently looked extra ferocious.
"It's useless! They can go up to the sky, dive into oceans, or go on land, but escaping is useless!"
Right then, an unknown little demon below the platform responded vaguely, "Nowadays humans are much more civilized, they've come up with quite a number of animal conservation regulations..."
"Hahaha!" After all, the wolf demon was a Pond-level powerhouse, it clearly heard what was said, hence it sneered.
"Animal conservation regulations? Do you think they've done that to protect us? Do you know why they introduced these regulations?
"It's because they want to protect themselves!
"They're only worried that animals will extinct, which will ruin the ecological balance, then they'll die out eventually!
"Just like us from the wolf clan, we used to be their victims! Tens of years ago, we were still their hunting targets! It was only when they realized that those of our kind to hunt weaker wild beasts to maintain the ecological balance that they included us in the conservation list!
"Humans are the most selfish, most wicked, most vicious creatures on earth. They're the beast among beasts and devils from hell!
"Today, the light of their civilization blossoms, but they owe it all to the skeleton tower accumulated from countless of our ancestors' dead bodies!"
While the wolf demon gave its speech, a crowd of demons sat below the platform. Most of them came from different clans, some were even born enemies, thus there was some natural distances between them.
However, at this very moment, these distances completely vanished, what replaced them the same vengeful look in their eyes.
At this instant, they understood that they had the same foe from ancient times, which was the humans!
"Now that we have sapience and wisdom, do you think that humans will get along with us in harmony?
"Wrong, they'll only pick up their hunting guns again and aim them at us!
"The Divine List that has just passed clearly tells us that!
"There are limited amounts of cultivation resources on earth, do you think their next step will be evolving the idea of obtaining resources around us?" The wolf demon uttered coldly.
Instantly, the other demons felt chills behind their backs, they were ready to respond with the same answer!
Of course they would!
After humans were born, they obtained resources from animals and plants to survive and to strengthen themselves!
When the era of vitality arrived, they would definitely employ this method out of habit.
All of a sudden, there was a disagreement coming from below the platform.
"But I heard the humans publicizing that those who can speak can't be eaten. They probably won't kill us demons who can speak human language, at most, they'll continue hunting those foolish animals without sapience." A demon raised its opinion.
The wolf demon shook its head slowly."I forgot to mention the most important adjective that describes humans best, which is - they're still the most hypocritical beings on earth! They're best at using beautiful words to weave a beautiful scarf to mark their bloody and dirty nature!
"The reason they came up with this saying is because they're still making arrangements among themselves, this slogan is used to numb us! They want us to have illusions of getting along harmoniously so to buy them more time to prepar. By the time they're done preparing for war, clans like us who compete with them for resources will be totally exterminated!
"There are no exceptions!"
As the wolf demon said that, it waved its hand again.
Subsequently, new images appeared, but this time they were all of the humans' history.
Two teams of humans sat around a negotiating table as they signed a peace agreement in smiling faces...
"Boom..."
"Tak, tak, tak..."
It was the sound of tanks and cannons moving into their enemy's land.
The image changed again, it was a scene of the signing of an agreement.
One party made solemn promises to the other party.
"Clang, clang..." Innumerable bombs landed on one of the party.
"Now you see!"
The wolf demon yelled with all its might, it stood up and wielded its fists!
"The humans are so ingenuine and cunning even to their own kind! Do you think their slogan of 'those who can speak can't be eaten' is believable?! Yes, they say that they won't eat you, but they didn't say that they won't kill you or enslave you just like those cows and donkeys!
"Should we not establish the alliance today and fight together in unity? In the future, they'll kill us with their guns and points at our skeletons with their fingers. They'll say, look, this is a slave!"
"All hail the Demon Alliance!"
"Fight with the humans till the very end!"
Swiftly, a demon in the great hall called out these slogans. Followed by that, emotions burst out everywhere and the demons roared at the same time!
Numerous demons had their faces flushed red, here and now, they found the true meaning of establishing the Demon Alliance!
It was not to hold each other for warmth, it was not to find shade under a huge tree, and it was not to look for an umbrella to protect them. It was for them to unite and to fight for the living space that belonged to the demons!
They wanted their younger generations to not end up like their ancestors who were hunted, enslaved, and tamed by humans!
It was in hope that they would not go so far as being pointed at and being called slaves after being killed by humans!
...
Fang Ning hid in the System Space as he witnessed everything, he was stunned.
He only felt his body tremble, he felt an unparalleled strength emerging from these newborn demons!
"Is this the roar of those being oppressed?!" He mumbled.
"I didn't get you, what do you mean oppressed, isn't this the law of nature? The weak ones will be killed, isn't this a very simple thing?" Sir System said in confusion.
"Alright, it looks like the wind is rising." Fang Ning shook his head, a layer of mist enveloped his heart.
He continued to watch.
...
Accompanied by the uprising emotions of the demons, the Demon Alliance Conference progressed very quickly. Things like rules and regulations and appointments were done all at once during this conference.
The alliance elected the executive members as the alliance's governing body, and the wolf demon called this "learning from the humans to gain command of them". Afterward, three big executive members were elected to be the staff of the executive committee.
These three big members were all distinguished - Elder Ancestor Bai, the first executive member, in charge of logistics and intelligence.
The second executive member, Lie Huo the volcanic rat, in charge of public relations.
The third executive member, Cang Lang the wolf demon, in charge of military matters.
There were 12 standing members under the jurisdiction of the executives, who were in charge of their specific matters. The standing members were appointed by the executive members themselves.
Through it all, Fang Ning watched the establishment of the demon alliance, his heart felt heavier and heavier.
Presently, he was at a daze, should he let Sir hinder this Demon Alliance, or should he just leave them?
If he went the the former, would it be a righteous act?
If he just left them, clearly he would be deviating from a human's standpoints, from China's standpoint.
One could imagine that if these hot-tempered demons were to plot a revenge plan against humans, it would certainly be a catastrophe. Even if Sir was fast, it did not have three heads or six arms, though it had ten threads, it only had two arms, thus it could only attend to one thing and lose another.
