Chapter 82: Natural Dwellings

Although Mi Xi's combat power is not the strongest in Honghuang, his background is profound, and he is the Demon Race's treasured guardian.

With him, Nüwa and the Demon Race become especially close.

"I dispatch the Jiuselu clan to investigate!" Di Chun decisively decides.

He quickly performs the hand seal, and the Jiuselu clan far away immediately receives the command.

This time, Jiuselu himself leads his family members, turning into beams of light and rushing straight toward Xiajie.

In Xiajie, the newly born Human Race has already fashioned a statue of Nüwa at their dwelling place.

Although the statue is made of clay, it is vivid and reaches a five‑point resemblance.

Everyone gathers around the statue, murmuring words and continuously praying.

At the front stands the clan leader, tall and mighty, a head taller than the other members, with a physique comparable to some large demons of the Demon Race.

After completing the sacrificial rite for the captured demon beasts, the leader suddenly turns, his gaze sternly scanning the tribe below, and loudly declares:

"Everyone listen up, we have already received Mother Goddess's blessing. From now on, I will lead the newcomer tribe; we will grow stronger on this Honghuang land, and let all of Honghuang know our power!"

Hearing this, the Human Race below immediately cheers, everyone's eyes tightly follow the leader, which makes the leader very satisfied.

He waves his hand to signal everyone to quiet down, then continues: "Remember, the original Human Race is our mortal enemy. When we become strong enough, we must utterly eliminate them.

In this Vast Wilderness World, only one race may exist, and that is us. Only we, bathed in Mother Goddess's radiance, can become the sole Human Race in Honghuang!"

It turns out that when creating the newcomer tribe, Nüwa, to guard against any contingency, implanted this notion into their memories, causing all newcomer tribe members to harbor hostility toward the original Human Race, leaving no possibility of reconciliation.

The Jiuselu clan, secretly observing from the side, were stunned speechlessly upon hearing these words.

Seeing the newcomer tribe's overconfident demeanor, they found it both amusing and helpless.

"Clan leader, these newcomer tribe are truly ridiculous; with their trivial Earth Immortal Strength, they dare utter such grandiose words."

Know that now the Human Race does not even dare to lightly provoke the Demon Race.

Due to commercial exchanges, other Demon Race clans can also obtain some information from the Gui Che and Bai Ze clans.

After a period of communication, Jiuselu gradually learns about some circumstances of the newly emerged Human Race.

When hearing these Human Race statements, Jiuselu is greatly surprised. In his view, these words are as absurd as a child claiming to kill an elephant.

Jiuselu stared solemnly at the Human Race speaker and shouted, "How can the Saint's teachings be treated so recklessly?"

Know that this is an instruction issued by the Saint, whose authority must not be underestimated.

No member of the Demon Race dares any disrespect or mockery toward the Saint's command, for it could bring unpredictable severe consequences.

Realizing the seriousness, everyone immediately fell silent.

At this moment, Jiuselu begins to closely observe these Human Race members.

He notes that the overall strength of these Human Race members has reached Earth Immortal Standard, far stronger than the previous Human Race.

However, aside from this, they lag far behind the existing Human Race in other aspects; for example, they still eat raw meat, whereas the current Demon Race has already mastered cooking.

Seeing these Human Race members, many Demon Race members show a hint of disdain in their eyes.

More importantly, some Human Race members have committed unacceptable acts in broad daylight.

"Everyone disperse and eliminate all nearby demon beasts that have reached Earth Immortal Rank," Jiuselu orders, "If you encounter a demon beast that has awakened Spiritual Intelligence, incorporate it into our clan."

Jiuselu continues, "We have two objectives this time: first, to assess the changes in the newcomer tribe; second, to clear obstacles for them. Ensure the mission is completed earnestly."

After confirmation, the Demon Race members act swiftly, carrying out cleanup within a thousand‑mile radius, leaving guards in all directions to prevent the newcomer tribe from wandering and to stop high‑level demon beasts from entering.

Thus, a year passes quietly. The newcomer tribe, originally three thousand strong, has grown to four thousand five hundred, a reproductive rate that astonishes.

A Jiuselu clan member reports to Jiuselu, "Clan leader, it has been confirmed that these newcomer tribe, like the Human Race led by Zhou Yi, possess extremely high reproductive ability.

Moreover, their physical constitution appears stronger, their recovery superior, and they can become pregnant again shortly after giving birth."

Hearing this, Jiuselu nods with satisfaction. He deems these two points crucial, indicating the project's prospects for success.

Thus, he tells his subordinates, "Continue surveillance, do not reveal yourselves; I will return now to report the situation to the Demon Emperor."

Subsequently, Jiuselu hurried back to the Heavenly Court. In the Heavenly Court, Taiyi Shen and Di Chun, who have never felt time drag so long in a year, anxiously await news from Jiuselu.

With Jiuselu's arrival, the two impatiently begin to inquire.

"How is the situation?" they ask.

"Reporting to the two Demon Emperors," Jiuselu replies respectfully, "The newly born Human Race has strong reproductive capacity, and other traits also match our expectations."

Hearing this, Taiyi Shen and Di Chun feel a weight lifted, the heavy stone in their hearts finally set down. They glance at each other and smile, eyes full of joy.

Taiyi Shen exclaims excitedly, "This is wonderful! We'll leave this matter to you. I will dispatch people to promptly send the Witch‑slaying Sword's blank blade to you."

"Give you two hundred years; by then I hope to see a brand‑new Witch‑slaying Sword appear before me!"

"Understood!" the group replies in unison.

The Heavenly Court's efficiency is extremely high; within a single day, the rough sword blank has already been delivered into Jiuselu and others' hands.

The newcomer tribe's life is relatively comfortable, though they lack shelter from wind and rain and have no warm clothing.

They even lack basic skills of fire‑making and cooking, yet under Jiuselu's careful arrangement, their living environment remains unusually stable.

Frequently, lower‑realm demon beasts appear in packs, these self‑offering prey relieve them of any food concerns.

Clear rivers provide ample water, and surrounding caves become natural dwellings.

Harboring the desire to see the newcomer tribe rise on this land, they pursue reproduction with near‑fanatical zeal.

The newcomer tribe's numbers surge rapidly, like spring bamboo after rain, growing exponentially in this favorable environment.

Meanwhile, in the Nüwa Imperial Palace, Nüwa senses a new Heavenly Mandate Power slowly merging into her, instantly breaking through her cultivation once more.
