The Human King’s Sacred Seal acknowledges its master!
Ye Xuan was caught off guard by the sudden recognition of the Human Race’s Sacred Seal!
Upon seeing the seal acknowledge its master, a meaningful smile appeared on the old man’s face.
When Ye Xuan looked at him, the old man’s expression quickly returned to normal. “Young friend, how does it feel?”
Ye Xuan remained silent.
How did it feel?
His instincts told him he’d been tricked!
Ye Xuan gave a faint smile. “Senior, you just said that becoming the Human King allows me to command a mysterious force?”
The old man nodded. “Yes!”
Ye Xuan stared at him. “How do I command it?”
The old man smiled. “Let’s keep walking, and you’ll find out!”
Ye Xuan stayed silent.
The old man looked into the distance and smiled. “Young friend, I’ll give you another benefit!”
As he spoke, he opened his palm, and the Human Spirit floated into his hand.
Looking at the Human Spirit, a trace of complexity flashed in the old man’s eyes. He said softly, “Young friend, this Human Spirit is immensely powerful but pure in nature. Treat it well!”
With that, he looked at Ye Xuan, and the Human Spirit turned into a beam of white light, merging into Ye Xuan’s brow.
Boom!
Ye Xuan’s eyes widened, and two beams of white light shot out from his pupils, causing the heavens and earth to tremble!
At that moment, countless beasts in this mysterious world turned their heads toward Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan’s face contorted as countless images flashed through his mind like lightning!
These were scenes from the era of the Ten Thousand Races!
In these images, he saw races other than the Human Race, though the scenes were fragmented.
After a long time, Ye Xuan’s expression gradually returned to normal. He looked at the old man. “The Human Race!”
The old man nodded. “That was a tragic era!”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
From those images, he knew the old man before him had died in battle, along with all the Human Race’s sages.
Besides the Human Race, there were other races.
Ye Xuan said gravely, “What calamity did you face back then?”
The old man was silent for a moment, then shook his head, saying nothing.
Ye Xuan was speechless.
The old man suddenly stopped and looked into the distance, where twelve towering statues stood deep in the mountains, each ten thousand feet tall, holding long spears and gazing proudly at the heavens.
The old man said softly, “The Twelve War Saints! These twelve were warriors of our Human Race! Originally, there were one hundred sixty-seven, but now only twelve remain. To continue protecting the Human Race, they sealed themselves in these statues, awaiting the call of the new Human King!”
Ye Xuan looked at the statues. “I can awaken them now, right?”
The old man nodded. “You can, but I don’t recommend doing so now!”
Ye Xuan turned to him. “Why not?”
The old man smiled. “They can serve as your trump card!”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
At that moment, the old man opened his palm, and a storage ring floated slowly to Ye Xuan. “This ring contains the Human Race’s treasure trove from that time. I now entrust it to you to handle as you see fit!”
Ye Xuan glanced at the ring and quickly took it, saying, “Senior, rest assured, I will definitely carry the Human Race’s banner. As a human, it’s my duty!”
The old man laughed heartily, his laughter echoing through the skies.
Gradually, his body began to fade.
Ye Xuan said gravely, “Senior, you’re about to disappear completely! Can you tell me why you chose me?”
After a moment’s silence, the old man said, “We were defeated back then, and this time, we still have no chance of winning! So, I chose to find external help!”
Ye Xuan was puzzled. “External help?”
The old man looked at Ye Xuan and smiled. “Yes! You are the external help for our Human Race.”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “I’m not that strong!”
The old man grinned like an old fox. “You’re not strong, but those behind you are. As the Human King, with them backing you, the Human Race will rise once more!”
Ye Xuan was silent.
As he suspected, they chose him for the people and forces behind him!
As if recalling something, Ye Xuan said gravely, “Did the master of the Great Dao Pen not help you?”
The old man shook his head. “He transcends everything!”
Ye Xuan wanted to say more, but the old man added, “Young friend, the Human Race is in your hands!”
With that, he grew fainter.
Ye Xuan bowed slightly after a moment’s silence. “Senior, you…”
The old man smiled. “Feeling reluctant to see me go? No need for reluctance; all banquets must end…”
Ye Xuan suddenly interrupted, “I meant, do you have anything else to leave me?”
The old man’s expression froze, and the next moment, he glared at Ye Xuan. “Nothing!”
With that, he vanished completely.
Ye Xuan: “…”
At that moment, the Great Dao Pen’s voice rang in Ye Xuan’s mind. “Congratulations!”
Ye Xuan snapped out of his thoughts and glanced around. “Little Pen, do you know about this Human Race era?”
The Great Dao Pen replied, “I know a bit!”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “What happened to them back then?”
The Great Dao Pen fell silent.
Ye Xuan frowned, but the Great Dao Pen quickly said, “I only know the general outline of that era, not the specifics. I only know that after that battle, my master intervened!”
Ye Xuan frowned. “Your master intervened?”
The Great Dao Pen said gravely, “Yes. If not for my master’s intervention, let me tell you, all beings in the existing and boundless universes would have perished.”
Ye Xuan said, “Tell me more!”
The Great Dao Pen sighed softly. “It’s not that I won’t tell you, but I truly don’t know much. I only know that the Ten Thousand Races suffered a catastrophic defeat, and the enemy nearly wiped out the existing and boundless universes…”
Little Tower suddenly said, “Wait, that’s not right! Broken Pen, from what I know, your master is the source of all causes and effects, controlling everything that exists and doesn’t exist…”
The Great Dao Pen interrupted, “Who told you that!”
Little Tower replied, “No one told me. I just know!”
The Great Dao Pen snapped, “Tell the truth!”
Little Tower was silent for a moment before saying, “I overheard Sister Destiny say it once!”
The Great Dao Pen sighed softly after a long silence.
Ye Xuan suddenly said, “The source of all causes and effects? Little Pen, can you elaborate?”
The Great Dao Pen said gravely, “When you reach Senior Destiny’s level, you’ll understand what kind of existence my master is! You wouldn’t comprehend it now. As for the Ten Thousand Races era, I can only tell you that when something spirals out of control, there’s only one explanation: a supremely terrifying heaven-defying figure appeared, like your sister. Only someone of that caliber could render my master powerless.”
Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed. “You’re saying there’s someone on par with the Three Swords?”
The Great Dao Pen said, “I don’t know. Often, some special individuals may not be particularly strong, but their status is so unique that even my master can’t touch them!”
Ye Xuan asked, “Like who?”
The Great Dao Pen said, “Like you! Your strength is weak as a chicken, but my master can’t do anything to you!”
Ye Xuan’s expression froze.
The Great Dao Pen continued, “Regardless, anyone who can render my master helpless is undoubtedly terrifying! They’re either as special as you or overwhelmingly powerful! Now that you’ve taken up the Human Race’s banner, your fates are intertwined. As for the future… I don’t know! I can’t see your future.”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Little Tower suddenly said, “Young Master, don’t worry. Sister Destiny is forever the goddess!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
After a moment, Ye Xuan regained his focus. He opened his palm, and the storage ring the old man gave him appeared. Inside were nearly thirty billion cosmic veins and one hundred million special spirit veins, their purity far surpassing the cosmic veins.
Ye Xuan was curious. “Little Pen, what are these spirit veins?”
The Great Dao Pen said, “Cosmic Origin Veins, a very rare type of spirit vein essential for later-stage cultivators. They’re extremely valuable, so keep them!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly, a smile tugging at his lips. He was no longer poor! He wondered if his wealth could now rival Qin Guan’s. Next time they met, he’d compare!
The ring also contained twelve thousand sets of battle armor. Ye Xuan examined them closely. They were crimson-gold and incredibly tough.
Testing them with the Qingxuan Sword, he found it could pierce the armor, but regular sword energy couldn’t scratch it!
These armors weren’t as good as Er Ya’s, but among the treasure armors he’d seen, they were second only to hers. Even powerhouses above Upper God level would struggle to damage them.
Besides the armors, there were hundreds of thousands of talismans and tens of millions of ancient texts, chronicling the Human Race’s most brilliant civilization from the Ten Thousand Races era.
These texts were the true treasure!
They contained countless cultivation methods, far superior to the martial arts civilization he currently knew.
Additionally, there were tens of thousands of special divine artifacts. Though not as powerful as Little Tower or the Qingxuan Sword, any one of them would be top-tier outside.
Looking at the storage ring, Ye Xuan felt like he was dreaming!
After coming to this place, he had somehow become the Human King and inherited such a vast Human Race legacy!
Life!
Every day could bring surprises!
As if recalling something, Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Little Pen, aren’t there Ten Thousand Races? Can you tell me about the inheritance sites of the other races? I could visit them! I feel like, with my strength, just carrying the Human Race’s banner is a bit beneath me. I want to carry the banner for all the Ten Thousand Races!”
Great Dao Pen: “…”
