Chapter 1758: Who Does Brother Want to Kill?
"Can the alien races also give birth to Sovereigns?"
Jiang Ding asked softly.
"Naturally."
The Joy-Alliance Holy Maiden sighed and said, "Throughout history, they too have given birth to Sovereigns. How many exactly, and what their names were, even the Joy-Alliance Holy Land does not know — and not just the Joy-Alliance Holy Land; the vast majority of sects that have produced Supreme beings probably do not know either."
"The human race has undergone several great extinctions throughout history."
"These alien races are deeply wary of us; whenever they get the chance, they take things to the extreme."
She blinked her pretty big eyes at the Great Sun Sword Child, looking quite frightened.
"However,"
"These alien races cannot completely exterminate the human race."
The Fusang Holy Maiden said softly, "The human race is different from immortal races like dragons and phoenixes. We only need a small handful of people to reproduce nearly endlessly. There's no need for imperial blood or sacred blood — any person will do. Once the numbers rise to a certain level, prodigies will keep being born from among the masses."
"In the endless cosmic starry sky, as long as within the Human Sovereign Secret Realms of past generations — some remote corner, some meteorite — as long as one man and one woman are left, in a stable environment, after several hundred or thousand years of reproduction, it becomes a large group."
"The human race cannot be completely exterminated."
"Once an alien Sovereign passes away, and the endless cosmic starry sky falls into turmoil and chaos, the strong of the human race will recover through the Six Paths of Reincarnation, blood dao, divine soul transmigration, and other means — these alien races cannot stop us."
"Many seniors' inheritances that are extremely powerful in terms of survival were probably born and risen from such dark eras."
"The human race will never perish!"
The Fusang Holy Maiden said proudly.
"It should be just so…"
A look of longing appeared on Jiang Ding's face.
At this moment, he thought of the Six Paths of Reincarnation — the Ancient God Ancestral Master rose precisely through the Six Paths of Reincarnation from the alien race's domain, recreating the glory of the human race.
Then, what kind of hopeless darkness did the senior who created the Six Paths of Reincarnation rise from?
Who could exterminate such an existence?
"Fusang, may I ask you some other intelligence?"
Jiang Ding looked toward the Fusang Holy Maiden, gazing at her intently.
Whoosh!
In an instant, the Fusang Holy Maiden vanished.
This time it was not a matter of moving away, but a complete disappearance — she was no longer here.
Very obviously, she had keenly sensed something; this question was entirely different from any previous question, faintly carrying the scent of blood.
"Sigh,"
"Is it that obvious?"
Jiang Ding sighed.
These fourth-step extreme Dao Children, or even stronger Dao Children — how their minds grew, no one knew. Even "the cicada senses before the autumn wind stirs" could not describe a ten-thousandth of it; it was simply like the law of cause and effect.
—
Fighting such an enemy, only time and space can be used to conceal and trusted; once a strike is launched, it must be a killing blow — there will not be another chance.
"Who does Brother Master Tushan want to kill?"
The Joy-Alliance Holy Maiden did not leave, and said with a smile.
"This sovereign does not know,"
"Sister Joy-Alliance."
Jiang Ding smiled, waved his hand to display several dozen names of factions, looked at the beauty before him, and said, "I am merely curious about these factions. This sovereign comes from a rural place, with shallow knowledge and experience. Sister Joy-Alliance must not laugh at this sovereign, or else this sovereign will have nowhere to hide his shame."
"This sovereign is an introverted and shy person."
"Brother Master Tushan is guarding against me!"
The Joy-Alliance Holy Maiden said, displeased.
Though she said so, she still looked through them seriously.
Qingfeng Qingfeng Beidou Holy Land, Cangxu Holy Land, Seven Kill Divine Dynasty, Dao-Destroying Immortal Sect, Gods-and-Buddhas Great Thousand World… one after another, from all sorts of places, some famous, some unknown — clearly thrown together at random.
Among them, there must be one that the person before her needed.
"The Qingfeng Qingfeng Beidou Holy Land's inheritance traces back to antiquity; legend has it that it is the human race's inheritance from the Big Dipper's seven stars, born in one of the most ancient domains of the human race, with deep foundations…"
"The Seven Kill Divine Dynasty is similar to the Fortune Earth Immortal Dao, yet also similar to the Immortal Dao — it is a path between the two…"
"The Cangxu Holy Land…"
The Joy-Alliance Holy Maiden did not try to find out what the youth truly needed. She leaned slightly toward his chest, carefully introducing these several dozen factions to him — from history to current state, the characteristics of their paths, contemporary Supremes — leaving nothing out, and from time to time she would look up to listen to the youth's doubts.
She even thoughtfully made a jade slip for the Great Sun Sword Child to consult.
"Is there anything else you don't understand?"
"Is there anything else you want to know?"
The Joy-Alliance Holy Maiden raised her head and asked openly.
"Nothing more."
"Thank you."
Jiang Ding bowed in salute, expressing his gratitude.
This favor, neither big nor small, would surely be repaid in the future.
The Joy-Alliance Holy Maiden was delighted.
After a long while.
"Puchi!"
She broke into a radiant smile and left.
Jiang Ding silently comprehended the information provided by the Holy Maiden of Zhenjun He Huan.
He would certainly not trust it completely; he must verify it from multiple sources, and only then treat it as a reference, and even so, he would not trust anyone here.
"Um,"
"Could you let me take a look at her jade slip?"
After an unknown length of time, a small voice once again appeared in Jiang Ding's ear.
Jiang Ding raised his head and saw, in an extremely distant place, almost
at the other end of the Myriad Dharma Celestial Hub, the Holy Maiden of Fusang hiding with all her might, asking cautiously.
"Of course."
Jiang Ding smiled faintly and transmitted the information from the jade slip over.
The Holy Maiden of Fusang breathed a sigh of relief, examined it carefully from beginning to end, and said in shock: "She actually didn't fabricate anything? Is this really her?"
"What went wrong?!"
"Miss Zhenjun He Huan is a good girl."
Jiang Ding said with a smile.
"A good girl…"
The Holy Maiden of Fusang was speechless.
She truly could not say anything, only saying: "You be careful yourself. Sword cultivators have always been extreme. Many times the feelings are indeed real, the love is also real, everything is real… only, death is also real."
This path of contention is perilous and terrifying; since ancient times, countless prodigies of various realms have died on it.
There were sword cultivators who bled out, perished among the stars, and became walking corpses.
There were Zhenjun He Huan female cultivators who gave their true feelings, blossoming with incomparably moving beauty, only to be cast aside like a worn shoe, carelessly discarded in the mud, their true feelings treated as whetstones for a sword.
Every kind of past has appeared; the roles of hunter and prey constantly shift.
"Qingfeng Qingfeng Beidou, is the current situation not very good?"
Jiang Ding changed the subject and asked softly.
"It's more than just not good."
"The star domain has lost more than half of its territory and is on the verge of destruction."
The Holy Maiden of Fusang sighed and said: "The Great Sun Divine Lord has allied with many divine Dao Supreme Beings to besiege the Qingfeng Beidou Holy Land. If the Qingfeng Beidou Star Domain were not an ancient human territory with profound heritage of formation arrays, it would have already been breached."
"A Supreme-level battle is taking place there, capable of destroying heaven and earth. The Qingfeng Beidou Holy Land could be annihilated at any moment."
"This is one of the nine most ancient star domains of the human race!"
She wore an utterly helpless expression.
"Are there no reinforcements?"
Jiang Ding asked.
"None."
"Many sects have not yet felt the danger of life-and-death survival. It probably will take the destruction of more holy lands before many powerful human cultivators develop a sense of crisis, but by then, it may already be too late."
"Perhaps, pinning hope on the entire human race uniting as one was always a mistake."
The Holy Maiden of Fusang said indignantly: "Many old predecessors regard this so-called unity of all as weakness, as the wailing of the weak. They believe the true orthodox path lies in hastening the birth of a Human Emperor. Once a Human Emperor appears, the human race will become a race united as one, because any powerful cultivators with disloyal hearts will be executed by the Human Emperor."
"This chaotic and dangerous era is precisely the hotbed for the birth of a Human Emperor."
"The tragedy is,"
"this line of thought has the approval of many powerful cultivators."
She said with great helplessness.
Almost all ambitious
Supreme Beings believe they have a slim chance of achieving the Human Emperor. What they need is simply to keep strengthening themselves, not to ally with anyone. It takes the cold slap of harsh reality to wake them up.
"So that's how it is."
Jiang Ding gave a soft "oh."
There was one sentence he felt too embarrassed to say.
Wanting powerful human cultivators to unite and join forces against the enemy is pure fantasy.
For example, asking him to join forces with the Sword Son of Tianjian?
Asking him to unite with the Dao Son of the Seven Kill Divine Dynasty?
Forget it, better to just beat them to death.
That is their greatest value.
Being enemies with these dogs is a blessing; being allies with these dogs is many times more dangerous—at the very least, one must devote half one's strength to guarding against their backstabbing.
Jiang Ding discussed the Dao with many Dao Sons, talked about the situation of the endless cosmic starry sky, and even met with the Qingfeng Beidou Dao Son for a period of time.
In the end, he confirmed a piece of news.
Multiple Supreme Beings from the Divine Buddha Great Thousand World's Heaven Punishment Dao Court and the Great Sun Tathagata Future Buddha have joined the Qingfeng Beidou Star Domain battlefield.
Their hinterland is relatively empty!
