Chapter 1111 Catfish Effect
"But the Demon Emperor...will he save Ling'er?" After Qin Yu asked this question, he felt stupid. How could the Demon Emperor, who was not related to him, be willing to save the little witch?
Who would have thought that Mohuang Tianzun actually nodded, but then sighed and said: "There is a way, but it is very difficult"
Qin Yu seemed to have found a life-saving straw and said hurriedly: "Whatever method you want me to use, I will do it no matter what you want me to do."
After thinking for a moment, Mohuang Tianzun said, "The Demon Emperor has not been involved in worldly affairs for many years. Even when the demons fought against other races, he never took action."
"Although he is a black demon, many members of the Black Demon Clan and masters have died in both external wars and internal struggles over the years, but the Demon Emperor has not intervened."
"At most, we can ask the Saints to represent the Imperial Palace to mediate or hold people accountable."
After hearing that the Demon Emperor actually acted in this way, Qin Yu's heart sank. He didn't even care about the affairs of the Black Demon Clan, so how could he possibly take action against Ling'er, who was from the Red Demon Clan?
Then, Devil Desolate Heavenly Venerable changed the subject: "But there is only one thing that can make him pay attention and work hard."
Qin Yu couldn't wait: "What's the matter?"
"The Heavenly Demon Martial Competition!" The voice of Devil Desolate Heavenly Venerable was loud and clear. "As long as you can win the Heavenly Demon Martial Competition, the Demon Emperor will personally meet you and fulfill one of your wishes."
"This is the only way to make him save Ling'er!"
"Demon Martial Competition..." Qin Yu muttered to himself, and then said without hesitation: "Okay, I'll go! I will participate in the Demon Martial Competition and win the championship!"
Seeing Qin Yu's decisive look, Mohuang Tianzun finally nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that Ling'er was right about you, but you don't have to worry too much. We still need to make long-term plans at this time. I will help you."
Hearing that Devil Desolate Heavenly Venerable was willing to help, Qin Yu also breathed a sigh of relief. He was just too excited, but when it came to going to the Imperial Palace to participate in the Heavenly Demon Martial Competition, he was really clueless.
Next, the four of them discussed the matter of the Heavenly Demon Martial Arts Competition.
Among the four, only Devil Desolate Celestial Master knew about this. Even Snow Fairy Celestial Master was not aware of it. The Little Witch, like Qin Yu, was just beginning to hear about it.
"The Demonic Martial Arts Competition is nominally a competition for young talents, but in reality it is for selecting agents for the Imperial Palace."
"Although the Imperial Palace nominally does not interfere in the internal affairs of the demon clan, they actually control every aspect of the demon clan. Every race and every major force basically has their people behind them."
"Even in my Red Demon Clan, it seems that the Devil Desolate Dao is leading the entire clan, but no matter whether it is the other major forces in the Red Demon Clan or even my Devil Desolate Dao, there are people who are close to the Imperial Palace."
"Otherwise, why do you think the demons are so warlike? Are we born not to want to live a peaceful life and to like death and killing?"
"It is these people who are the troublemakers, causing trouble and prompting the outbreak of war."
The words of Devil Desolate Heavenly Venerable shocked everyone present. It turned out that the entire demon clan seemed to be independent, but in fact, it had been infiltrated and controlled by the Imperial Palace.
"But the Imperial Palace clearly has the power to directly control or even unify the entire demon race, so why do they still resort to such means?"
Qin Yu asked the question in his mind. In his opinion, the behavior of the imperial palace was completely unnecessary.
"Have you heard of the catfish effect?" Mohuang Tianzun suddenly asked. Qin Yu was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"After catching sardines, fishermen will put in a few catfish to prevent them from dying from lack of oxygen during transportation."
"In order to survive in a small environment, catfish will continue to chase sardines, which will stimulate the sardines' desire to survive, making them swim more actively and reducing the possibility of hypoxia."
"The catfish effect works by activating the group's competitive nature and mobilizing the enthusiasm and passion of other individuals in the group."
Qin Yu's explanation made Mohuang Tianzun very satisfied. This son-in-law was not only powerful in martial arts, but also very smart.
"Yes, if the Imperial Palace unified the entire demon race, the different demon races would be united into one race, and there would not be the situation today."
Qin Yu still didn't understand what Devil Desolate Heavenly Venerable said, and asked: "What's the situation today? The demons are waging wars abroad, and there are constant internal strife. No matter how you look at it, it's internal and external troubles."
Mohuang Tianzun chuckled and responded, "Yes, this is what the Imperial Palace wants. Use constant war and killing to force the evolution of the demon race as a whole!"
This statement really shocked everyone. Using war to promote the evolution of the race? It was the first time Qin Yu heard such an argument.
It seemed that he saw everyone's surprise. After all, even the expression of Snow Fairy was quite interesting. Demon Desolate Heavenly Master quickly put on a profound look, ready to show off in front of his wife.
"In fact, the Demon Emperor is a very ambitious person. When I broke through to the Heavenly Venerable, I went to the Imperial Palace to meet the Demon Emperor."
“He asked me a question.”
The three of them all pricked up their ears, curious about the Demon Emperor's question.
The gaze of the Devil God seemed to have traveled through the universe, reflecting a chaotic starry sky, where he had met the highest being of the demon race.
“He asked me: What is a demon?”
This question really made everyone stunned. What is a demon?
"Then what is your answer, uncle?" Qin Yu was very curious about how Devil Desolate Heavenly Venerable himself viewed his own race.
"Everyone calls me a devil, so I am the devil"
"They feared me, but could do nothing about it, so they called me a demon."
The words of the Devil's Heavenly Lord were so inspiring that Qin Yu fell into deep thought.
That's right, the so-called humans, demons, monsters and gods are all names given by people themselves. What is the difference in essence? It's nothing more than a different style of behavior.
Everyone is expanding outwards and competing internally for survival. There is no distinction between noble and inferior.
It's just that the demons are more powerful, making other races afraid, so they are given the bad name of "demon".
"I didn't expect my dad is a philosopher." The sudden praise from the little witch made the originally serious atmosphere become much more relaxed. "No wonder my mom likes him. It turns out he has some ink in his belly."
Snow Fairy Heavenly Venerable scratched the little witch's nose and scolded her: "Girl, what do you think your mother is!"
The little witch acted innocent and said, "I thought you were attracted by my father's tall and handsome appearance!"
Snow Fairy Heavenly Venerable curled his lips and whispered: "Of course there are reasons for this..."
Listening to the mother and daughter's teasing, Mohuang Tianzun's tense face relaxed a lot, and a smile appeared on his face.
Qin Yu sighed in his heart: "My mother-in-law is really amazing. She coaxed my father-in-law into a placenta!"
"So, Dad, after you answered, what did the Demon Emperor say?"
Qin Yu immediately pricked up his ears. He was very curious about the Demon Emperor's opinion on this topic.
"The Demon Emperor did not comment on my answer, he just asked me the next question."
"Do you want Jiutian to complete the great unification, so that there will no longer be any distinction between humans, demons, gods, or devils in the world?"
