Chapter 959: The Human Race Gatekeeper

At the same time.

Evil Realm.

The Xia Lord, having recovered from their injuries, left the Human Race and headed toward the endless starry sky.

Thus, six thousand years of the Human Race.

Seeing this scene.

Chen Yan's pupils trembled.

The Xia Lord's true self had long since left the Human Race.

Then who is the Xia Lord currently inside the Evil Realm?

Without pondering these things, the memories of Bai E continued to flicker.

Time passed slowly.

Another two thousand years.

Yu Prefecture announced a policy of closing the country, no longer interacting with the outside world.

And Chen Prefecture, due to the failure of Chen Fazheng, declined day by day.

Just when everyone thought Chen Prefecture was gradually withdrawing from the Five Clans and becoming an appendage of Great Xia.

Chen Yuan was born.

Thus, eight thousand years of the Human Race!

The moment Chen Yuan was born, it was earth-shattering.

At ten, he entered the Origin Realm; at seventeen, he entered the Creation Realm.

At twenty-five, he became the youngest Tier 8 in the history of the Human Race.

At twenty-seven, Chen Yuan became the Eighth Elder of Chen Prefecture.

At thirty-five, Chen Yuan became the Great Elder of Chen Prefecture.

His progress was too rapid, attracting the attention of the Lord of True Intent and Great Xia.

By the age of forty, Chen Yuan had already been selected as the next Chen Lord, accepting the recognition of the Blood Brand.

The Lord of True Intent ruled the Human Race for three thousand five hundred years, truly worthy of being called a king.

Yet, he never coveted the Xia imperial throne.

He even consistently supported the development of Great Xia and the Five Clans.

Human martial arts ushered in their most prosperous development during the era of the Lord of True Intent.

The Xia imperial clan revered the Lord of True Intent as the Imperial Teacher.

Even if the Lord of True Intent were to replace them one day, the ruler of Great Xia would have been happy to see it happen.

But the Lord of True Intent never did so.

He always possessed the heart of a subject, guarding the national gates for the Son of Heaven.

People were convinced that under the leadership of the Lord of True Intent, the Human Race could one day defeat the Ancient Gods.

Meanwhile, Chen Fazheng in the Evil Realm was biding his time.

The Dao Children under his command had each grown into supreme Tier 8s.

At that time, the Lord of True Intent had already set his sights on Chen Yuan.

Great Xia had even made preparations to have Chen Yuan enter the Xia clan and become a Gatekeeper of the Xia.

Once he became a Gatekeeper of the Xia, Chen Yuan was destined to serve the Xia clan for his entire life and accept the Xia clan's control.

It was also this year that Chen Yuan went into seclusion.

Three years later, he came down from the mountain.

A powerhouse of the Xia clan challenged Chen Yuan to a duel.

Chen Yuan was soundly defeated.

The Xia clan's gaze upon Chen Yuan diminished.

But the Lord of True Intent's gaze upon Chen Yuan never decreased.

He sent people to test Chen Yuan many times.

Until one day.

Chen Yuan went out with the Second Elder of Chen Prefecture and encountered a supreme Ancient God Beast.

Chen Yuan was severely injured, and the Second Elder died a miserable death.

After this incident.

Everyone thought Chen Yuan would definitely be unable to revive Chen Prefecture.

It was impossible for another Chen Fazheng to appear in Chen Prefecture.

But it was also in that year.

The Lord of True Intent betrothed his daughter to Chen Yuan, with the requirement that Chen Yuan must marry into his family.

The Lord of True Intent still did not decrease his gaze upon Chen Yuan.

Just when everyone thought the matter was settled.

The Lord of True Intent encountered the strongest Ancient God Beast, Zhuohe Umeng.

Subsequently, news of the Lord of True Intent's death was sent back to the Human Race.

Countless people lamented.

The contemporary ruler of Great Xia even wept uncontrollably.

Chen Yuan was forgotten by everyone.

Even the matter of Chen Yuan being elected as Chen Lord did not attract much attention from anyone.

But Chen Yan saw it very clearly in Bai E's memories.

It was after Chen Yuan and his wife left the human realm that they brought back the corpse of the Turbid Core Wumeng.

Afterward, Chen Yuan's wife seized the body of the Turbid Core Wumeng, entered the Evil Realm, and met Chen Fazheng.

After conspiring with Chen Fazheng.

It was again Chen Yuan's wife who lured the Master of True Intent into the depths of the universe.

Bai E did not see the events within the universe very clearly.

But Chen Yan could guess most of it.

It was Chen Yuan who orchestrated the death of the Master of True Intent.

Perhaps, even now, the Master of Arrays does not know that Chen Yuan had been interfering in this matter all along.

If Chen Yuan could kill the Turbid Core Wumeng back then, it means Chen Yuan might have reached the Ninth Rank after killing the Turbid Core Wumeng.

How old was Chen Yuan at that time?

Just a little over fifty.

He was even more monstrous than Lu Xunyang.

To begin plotting against the Master of Martial Dao at fifty; Chen Yuan's heart was deep to the extreme.

But the human race had no idea of Chen Yuan's conspiracy.

Nor did they know what happened within the Evil Realm.

Chen Fazheng seized the soul of the Master of True Intent and forcibly merged it into the body of Xuan Yi.

Causing Xuan Yi to slumber for a hundred years.

When Xuan Yi awoke, the memories of the Master of True Intent began to gradually emerge.

After Chen Yuan took office, he could be called a restorer of the realm.

Although Chen Yuan himself did not display overly strong combat power.

Under Chen Yuan's rule, the precarious Chen Prefecture began to flourish.

Thus, another thousand years passed.

Chen Prefecture became one of the top two among the five clans.

Chen Yuan's life was conventional, yet he was skilled at governance.

But Chen Yan saw in Bai E's memories.

Chen Yuan had created the second greatest divine technique in the world, 【Dao Slash】.

Furthermore, he had always been analyzing the mysteries of the Ancient God's aura.

And...

Two Chen Yuans.

Chen Yuan had created a clone.

A powerful clone.

Up to this point, nine thousand years of the human race had passed.

Chen Yuan was about to step down and become the Prefecture Luminary of Chen Prefecture.

His son, Chen Cheng, would take office and become the tenth Chen Master.

Then.

The incident at Myriad Forms Island erupted!

Everything was exactly as Chen Yan had anticipated.

Chen Yuan used his own daughter, Chen Yi, and the infant in Chen Yi's womb as bait.

He caused the death of the Great Xia Divine General of that era, the Master of Myriad Forms Island, Xia Weimin.

He also entrapped the millions of lives on Myriad Forms Island, along with his own son, Chen Cheng.

Thus, he deceived the world.

Chen Yuan transformed into Chen Cheng and became the tenth Chen Master of Chen Prefecture.

That day, millions wailed.

That day, half of Xia Weimin's soul became the Prefecture Luminary.

That day.

Another of Chen Yuan's clones entered the Evil Realm.

Incarnating as Lord Wuchen.

Chen Yan's eyes flashed instantly.

Seeing this scene, the clusters of unknown fog in his mind suddenly dissipated.

Everything seemed to be explained clearly at this moment.

Why.

On the day Chen Yan ascended, all the Dao Children were thinking of how to kill Chen Yan.

Only Lord Wuchen took action.

Why did Lord Wuchen appear suddenly ten thousand years ago in the Evil Realm and a thousand years ago in the outside world?

Why did Lord Wuchen know 【Calamity Bone Thousand Shadow Kill】?

There were only three people in the entire human realm who knew Calamity Bone Thousand Shadow Kill.

Chen Yan, Xia Weimin, and the Chen Master!

Doesn't all of this prove that Lord Wuchen had actually always been a clone of the Chen Master?

And.

Since Lord Chen is the gatekeeper of the human race.

The places he must guard naturally cannot just be the outside world; they must certainly include the Evil Realm.

Then, how does he intend to guard the Evil Realm?

That is, by directly shattering all of Chen Fazheng's conspiracies!

Chen Fazheng wants Xuan Yi to become the strongest Dao Child, to absorb everyone's martial arts memories and cultivation.

Then Lord Chen will make Wuhen Jun the strongest Dao Child.

In this way, all the opportunities belonging to the Dao Child will be Wuhen Jun's, and will also be Lord Chen's.

Like this.

Even if the Lord Chen of the outside world is currently in a slump.

As long as Wuhen Jun in the Evil Realm is victorious, Lord Chen's strength will greatly increase.

By then, Lord Chen will surely become the number one person of the human race in the true sense!

So that's it!

Actually, Chen Yan should have thought of this long ago.

Because.

The former Second Dao Child was not the current Wuhen Jun at all.

It was Zhu Ming.

According to Ruan Qingwu.

A thousand years ago, Zhu Ming stole the Vermilion Fruit, was then hunted by the Master of Arrays, and ushered in a great battle between the supreme ancient divine beast and Chen Fazheng.

But later on, Zhu Ming became the supreme ancient divine beast.

That Emperor Fruit was hung by him on his tail fin.

The Emperor Fruit is the most important link in Chen Fazheng's plan.

If Lord Chen wants to ruin Chen Fazheng's plan, the easiest way is naturally to destroy the Emperor Fruit.

Then, the one who instigated Zhu Ming to steal the Emperor Fruit could only be Wuhen Jun.

Then why would Zhu Ming listen to Wuhen Jun?

【Dao Slash】!

Right!

That day.

Chen Yan found the world's second greatest divine technique, 【Dao Slash】, inside Zhu Ming's body.

But the problem is, 【Dao Slash】 was created by Lord Chen, and outsiders simply do not know it.

Why would Zhu Ming have 【Dao Slash】?

Doesn't this clearly show that it was Lord Chen's avatar, Wuhen Jun, who gave 【Dao Slash】 to Zhu Ming?

At that time, Zhu Ming was the Second Dao Child.

Zhu Ming knew that Chen Fazheng only valued the First Dao Child, Xuan Yi.

And no matter how strong he was, he was no match for Xuan Yi.

The only thing that could allow Zhu Ming to defeat Xuan Yi was 【Dao Slash】!

All the clues connected at this moment.

All of Lord Chen's conspiracies were completely grasped by Chen Yan.

Sure enough, in Bai E's memories.

Wuhen Jun found the then-Second Dao Child, Zhu Ming.

After Zhu Ming stole the Emperor Fruit.

Wuhen Jun used his methods to make Chen Fazheng react.

Following that was Chen Fazheng's pursuit.

Wuhen Jun then ordered the Turbid Core Wumeng to incite three supreme ancient divine beasts to intercept Chen Fazheng.

When Zhu Ming thought he had victory in his grasp.

Wuhen Jun arrived in person and gave 【Dao Slash】 to Zhu Ming.

But Zhu Ming played a trick.

When he went to see Wuhen Jun, he did not bring the real Emperor Fruit.

Instead, he placed the Emperor Fruit somewhere in the Evil Realm.

When Wuhen Jun revealed his ambition, Zhu Ming fled immediately, but encountered the intercepting Turbid Core Wumeng.

And then, it was the most painful thing in Zhu Ming's life.

He was forcibly transformed into an ancient divine beast by the Turbid Core Wumeng.

Seeing this.

Chen Yan frowned.

From beginning to end.

His enemy remained Chen Yuan.

And Chen Yuan remained the gatekeeper of the human race.
