My brother is so cunning

Chapter 1066 Falsifying History

Zhao Mingcheng's expression changed drastically. After all, his lifespan was still short, and his shrewdness was far inferior to that of an old man like Yun Zhongzi who had lived for thousands of years. In addition, he was honest and upright, and could not hide his thoughts at all. His joy and anger were written all over his face, and he was seen through in an instant.

"I... I don't understand what you're saying at all..."

Zhao Mingcheng said somewhat stiffly, "The New Insect Race is a new race of demons that lives underground. Since ancient times, they have been trapped in an underground secret realm due to the subsidence of the earth, and have been isolated from the world ever since."

"You are lying!"

Yun Zhongzi said sternly, "I thought you were of decent character, which is why I spoke to you kindly and did not want to use my soul-searching magic on you and ruin your foundation. I never expected that you would be so unaware of this and so stubbornly unrepentant!"

"The so-called new insectoid race is the blood sea demon mosquito that was transformed. The Creator God used his divine power to erase its demonic mark, transforming it into human form. He also mixed them into the mortal world to seduce human men!"

"The purpose of the Creator is to pollute the bloodline of the human race. In time, there will be no pure-blooded humans left in the Three Realms, only a group of demons and monsters, which will completely destroy the natural order and ethics of the heavens."

"Yet you acted as an accomplice to evil, teaching these 'insect demons' new knowledge of the Jie Sect in the underground secret realm, instructing them to imitate the speech and behavior of humans."

Zhao Mingcheng was sweating, but he still stubbornly said, "All I know is that the new insect race is a new, uncivilized demon race that the Demon Alliance discovered in recent decades. It is precisely because they are isolated from the world that this race has never had contact with humans or any other races on the surface of the mortal world, which is why they appear so innocent and pure."

This set of statements was clearly prepared by the authorities in advance to deceive people.

When Zhao Mingcheng participated in the teaching support program, he was told this, and the higher-ups required every teacher to use this official line of reasoning as the standard, and to respond in this way no matter who asked.

Even the demon insect girls were taught the same thing about their race's origins and origins, and their teacher was none other than Zhao Mingcheng.

"What makes you so sure I'm lying to you? Is it some kind of calculation?"

Although Zhao Mingcheng's expression was somewhat unnatural, he still stubbornly insisted: "Those are not Blood Sea Demon Mosquitoes, but 'Earth Spirit Insect Clan,' which have been isolated underground for tens of thousands of years and evolved by absorbing the energy of the earth's spiritual veins."

He straightened his back and began to explain clearly: "In ancient times, when the Kunlun Mountains sank, some of the insect race were trapped in underground caves. Although there was no sun or moon there, there were spiritual springs that never dried up and crystal minerals everywhere."

"Initially, they were just ordinary insects, surviving by feeding on crystal minerals and underground ferns and fungi. Later, nourished by the spiritual spring, they gradually developed intelligence and, after thousands of generations of evolution, gained the ability to transform into human form. This is a complete evolutionary lineage. I have seen their tribal history inscriptions in the secret realm, from insect eggs to adults, from mindless to sentient, every step can be traced."

Wen Rui has always adhered to the principle of making the whole show. If you're going to lie, you have to make the lie convincing. Anyway, you can hand it over to Jarvis to command the AI ​​think tank cluster to slowly fabricate history. The pyramids can be made of concrete, so creating some fake ancient ruins deep underground is just a month's work for the engineering Ultron robot.

Regardless of whether Wen Rui's fake antiques and fake relics can withstand the excavation of professional archaeological teams, few of the gods and Buddhas in the world have professional archaeological capabilities and cannot produce scientific appraisal reports to disprove them.

They judged truth and falsehood either by divination or by their own judgment, but Wen Rui only aimed to muddy the waters. This was also a way to leave himself a way out, so that if he were to be exposed in the future, he could at least have a chance to defend himself when arguing in front of the sages and the Dao Ancestor.

The AI ​​fabricated a logical origin story for the new insectoid race, complete with forged relics as evidence. It even compiled the evolutionary history of the new insectoids into a book, which was used by volunteer teachers as a history lesson for the demon insectoid race. This completely distorted the demon insectoid girls' values, making them truly believe that they were native demons from the mortal world.

Yun Zhongzi was taken aback upon hearing this. At first, he could sense that Zhao Mingcheng was somewhat guilty, but when he began to explain the origin of the new Zerg in great detail, his flustered state of mind calmed down immediately, and he became more and more confident as he spoke.

But the astute Yun Zhongzi quickly spotted the blind spot, his brow furrowing slightly: "Didn't you say they've been isolated from the world since ancient times? But why do their human forms resemble human women so closely? Even their speech and behavior are almost identical to mortals. Why are they so fond of human men?"

"The transformation of demons into human form is similar to that of humans, and this is not a unique characteristic of the new insectoid race. Which demon race in the world, after undergoing a high-level transformation, doesn't resemble humans? It's not that demons are copying the image of humans, but rather that the image of humans was originally shaped by the ancient gods in their own image."

Zhao Mingcheng argued emphatically, "In your metaphysical terms, it's called the Great Way is simple, and all paths lead to the same destination. In the biology of the new knowledge system of the Jie Sect, this is called convergent evolution."

"Convergent evolution?"

Yun Zhongzi had only been out of seclusion for a short time and hadn't yet had the time to carefully study the "New Knowledge of the Jie Sect" series spread by Wen Rui. Now he was suffering from his lack of education and was stunned by Zhao Mingcheng's words. His originally firm belief began to waver.

Zhao Mingcheng immediately chimed in, his tone like that of a patient and encouraging teacher: "Although underground caves isolate the outside world, they can sense human activities on the surface through the cracks in the rocks—they hear human language, see human forms, and discover that this 'bipedal, cooperative' form is more conducive to survival, so they actively move closer to the human form in the course of evolution."

"Using the same metaphysical theory, the form of the ancient gods was close to that of a perfect living being. As living beings evolve and improve their life level, the closer they are to this form, the better they can adapt to the environment, and the better they can adapt to the environment, the more likely they are to survive."

"It's like fish and dolphins in the water. Although they are not the same kind, they have both evolved streamlined bodies. Birds and bats in the air have both grown wing-like structures. One is for swimming better, and the other is for flying better. The demon race has also transformed into human-like forms in order to make the race prosperous and strong."

"That makes some sense... wait, you almost fooled me!"

Yun Zhongzi pondered for a moment, then immediately became alert and said, "According to my observation, the so-called 'new insect race' consists entirely of young girls. As the saying goes, yin cannot last long. What race can reproduce and continue its lineage with only females?"

"Taoist Master, are you a 'nine-year-old fish' (a person who is easily fooled)? If you had even a little bit of basic biology knowledge, you wouldn't have said such stupid things."

Zhao Mingcheng cast a disdainful look at him: "The new insectoid race does have males, but the number of males is extremely small, and they are female-looking, with appearances very similar to females. This is very common among social insects such as ants, bees, and termites."

"The insectoid older sister you see in the Demon Alliance city who is noticeably taller and has a fuller, more curvaceous figure than the average new insectoid girl may actually be a male of the new insectoid race."
