Chapter 2611: The People's Heart Backlash

The Tai Shang Da Ri Tian Shu blazed with radiant glory, descending from the Ninth Heaven and crashing toward the Sun Domain!

This ancient and venerable human race relic holds many mysteries.

Politically, it is the symbol of humanity's supreme authority; the one who wields the Tian Shu is naturally the human race's highest sovereign, and such a wielder naturally draws the allegiance of countless human powerhouses and ancient emperors.

In the Dao of Immortality, this relic has been continuously refined by generations of human emperors, its power immense, containing the inheritances of successive human emperors, enabling perpetual blood production and vast quantities of heavenly treasures, and allowing communication and connection between realms, swift mobilization of armies, precise observation of human fortune and territorial production activities—countless powers, profoundly mysterious.

This is a race relic capable of raising the upper limit of immortal productivity!

For the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang, who regards immortal productivity as the ultimate pursuit and the swiftest path to ascension, the Tian Shu is absolutely indispensable!

"Race relics belong to the virtuous!"

"This is not for private gain, but for the benefit of all humanity, for the welfare and future of all human beings; race relics must not be entrusted to non-humans!"

"The human heavenly way is ultimately lifeless, unable to precisely seek the being most beneficial to humanity."

"It is wrong."

Jiang Dingleng said coldly: "If, due to a little affection, one allows the race relic to be entrusted to non-humans, is this really valuing sentiment? Is this really morality and correctness?"

"No! Absolutely not!" "This is knowing minor personal etiquette while forgetting the great etiquette of the race! If this is truly the case, this sovereign feels shame before humanity, shame before all under heaven!"

Each word, each pause, was carved into the Great Dao like a nail.

Fusang and Yueyin Gu Huang and others took up their brushes, recording swiftly.

These will be among future propaganda materials, aiding in stabilizing internal human unity.

……

Sun Domain.

Boom—

Boom—boom—

The Boundless Starry Void trembled; above the Nine Heavens, it rose and fell, a terrifying boundless radiant palace unfolded space, parting the star sea as it descended from heaven, the Solar Dao as the guiding rope, directing this first race relic of the Boundless Starry Void to slowly descend from the Nine Heavens to the human realm, stirring up a mighty commotion.

First Race Relic of the Boundless Starry Void!

Yes, this is the Boundless Starry Void's strongest treasure, refined in relay by generations of human ancient emperors, surpassing the foundation relics of the True Dragon Immortal Race, Phoenix Immortal Race, and Golden Crow Immortal Race; taken alone, these races cannot compare to the entirety of humanity.

As for the Qingniu Immortal Race, Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, and Other Shore Flower clans and other minor races, they do not even qualify to be mentioned alongside the major ones. Though these races have strong individuals—the Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor, Qingniu Ancient Emperor, and other forbidden-zone ancient emperors whose brilliance illuminates the long river of time, with no peers born for long ages, they are miracles of the universe—but their races are too weak to sustain generational refinement of the race relic.

Now, this terrifying and fearsome First Race Relic of the Boundless Starry Void has descended!

This should not be.

Theoretically, it should not be so.

The Tian Shu has only ever descended when an absolute human hegemon appears in the Boundless Starry Void; now, humanity's powers stand in parallel, with no dominant force, no true emperor.

Yet now it defies reason, descending in the present age!

The descent of this race relic will greatly strengthen humanity's foundation, allowing humanity to lead all races in the Golden Age!

At this moment, many forbidden-zone ancient emperors stare fixedly at the slowly descending Tian Shu.

Watching it descend bit by bit, bit by bit, into the Sun Domain, about to be received by the Sun Jin Yu Zhi immortal formation, merged into it, becoming part of the Sun Jin Yu Zhi foundation.

At this moment, in many places of the Boundless Starry Void, a faint killing intent is transmitted.

Finally,

"Break!" came a vast, low murmur from the Huangyan Dragon Domain.

Boom—

Then came the tremendous shock of Stone Breaking Heaven!

Like an ancient divine mountain collapsing, like the mythological Pangu's primordial vast continent where the earth dragon turned over, triggering an earthquake affecting half of that primordial land, the earth sank and then bulged high, causing countless beings to die, countless beings buried underground, enabling those skilled in altering rivers, sun, moon, and stars.

This tremendous shock is the roar of the Earth Dao, one of the five foundations of the world!

"Solar Dao Friend!"

"This is not something that can manifest in the present age—put it down!"

The Huangyan Gu Huang shouted low.

In the heaven-overturning, earth-shaking Boundless Void Starry Expanse, a colossal true dragon, impossible to imagine or describe, its body covered in moss and weathering marks, broke through space; its claws were as vast as five ancient divine peaks, containing between them the terrifying power of a black hole, and wherever it passed, the Dao, laws, causality, even time itself were crushed.

Huangyan Dragon Emperor!

The Eight-Character Immortal Scripture Ancient Emperor of the True Dragon Immortal Race, Huangyan Dragon Emperor, has acted!

Many powerhouses of the Boundless Starry Void were shaken in their hearts; many did not understand.

Why?

Why does the Huangyan Dragon Emperor dare to act?

Does he not fear obstruction and encirclement by the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang?

Does he dare to actively step into the Sun Jin Yu Zhi immortal formation, and if then faced with encirclement by two human Eight-Character Immortal Scripture Ancient Emperors, even one of them a Sword Emperor superior to him, does he not fear total demise here?

Many are deeply puzzled.

However, in the next moment, many suddenly understood.

Because, the Huangyan Dragon Emperor's action was not obstructed by anyone; in the Tai Shang Da Ri Domain, all was calm, no ripples, even eerily silent.

"Sword Master, why is this so?"

Many human Sword Emperors felt some disappointment in their hearts.

These Sword Emperors are almost all extreme human supremacists, who greatly admired the Solar Ancient Emperor, even received his opportunity, and now feel dissatisfied with the current human forbidden-zone Sword Emperor's disregard for the entire human race's interests.

"To bear the title of human Sword Emperor in vain!" "Our humanity, can we truly not unite as one?"

"You are a Sword Emperor……"

At this moment, countless powerhouses in the Boundless Starry Void shouted in anger.

Many were so angry they forgot hierarchy, daring to rebuke a forbidden-zone Sword Emperor—truly the utmost in rudeness and boldness, having lost reason.

These people are not insignificant weaklings; they are not humble commoners.

At this time, the cultivators capable of observing the Solar Domain battlefield were at least Supreme and Emperor Realm cultivators, each commanding untold trillions of human beings and vast human territories; they were the true 'scholars' and 'people,' the genuine backbone of the immortal dynasty, and their thoughts determined the dynasty's stability.

This is what is called the people's hearts.

The Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang's indifferent observation caused him to lose political standing, no longer enjoying the near-total reliance of the entire human race as before; many human powerhouses held the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang in extreme reverence and fervent worship, regarding him as the sole true sovereign of humanity.

Now, he has lost such a transcendent political position.

These Emperor Realm cultivators and Supremes are old cultivators who have lived through many years, having endured too many schemes and deceits; many things can be seen through at a glance.

Such a boiling of the people's hearts, the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang turned a blind eye.

The people's hearts, when useful, are used; when not useful, are left alone, never allowing the people's hearts to completely hijack one's will—there is no such possibility. Boom!

Boom—boom...

In an instant, the Desolate Rock Dragon Emperor and the Solar Ancient Emperor engaged in a life-and-death battle within the Solar Domain, each move destroying vast expanses of starry sky; the Solar Dao and the Earthly Dao clashed fiercely, cutting off the great momentum of the Heavenly Pivot's descent toward Shen Zhou, and the Solar Domain battlefield plunged into a terrifying apocalypse.
