Chapter 83: Maintain Observation

"Ha ha, I told you, as long as I wish to create the Human Race, I can do it." Her laughter echoed throughout the palace.

"These Human Race members have been infused with special substances; if they cultivate earnestly, they will far surpass the existing Human Race. When this destiny reaches its peak, I will command them to utterly eliminate you, Zhou Yi," she added.

The blue bird serving nearby heard all this, hurried forward, deftly swapped the Human Race's wine on the table, and presented an exquisite new dessert.

However, Nüwa halted the action: "Why replace the wine?"

A hint of displeasure rang in Nüwa's voice; the blue bird's body trembled slightly, having thought it fully grasped Nüwa's intention.

In that situation, no one would likely continue tasting the Human Race's fine wine.

Yet it never expected that its action would run counter to Nüwa's will.

"Put down that Human Race's wine; trying it wouldn't hurt."

A trace of amusement colored Nüwa's words: "Perhaps soon, Zhou Yi will bid farewell to this world. Then such a unique wine will never be found again."

As the new Human Race grew stronger, the war of the necromancers became a thing of the past, and the Human Race began to emerge, gradually becoming the protagonist on history's stage.

Nüwa believed that with a little guidance, Zhou Yi would vanish in this torrent. At this moment, she already regarded herself as the victor.

The blue bird, helpless, had to restore the wine. Nüwa only sensed a shift in the Human Race's destiny, without probing the new Human Race's actual development, which gave the Jiuselu clan more room to act.

They enjoyed the process of "cultivating" the new Human Race, observing each step of its growth, watching the numbers continually rise.

When the new Human Race reaches a certain scale, the blade in the Jiuselu's hand will be raised for a ruthless harvest.

Every Jiuselu clan member eagerly awaited that moment.

As the leader and patriarch of the Jiuselu clan, the Demon Race commander Jiuselu repeatedly examined his rough sword blank, scheming future plans in his mind, awaiting the optimal moment.

Beneath this seemingly calm situation, an uninvited beast, under the instruction of Sui Huang the Ancestor, came to investigate the new Human Race's condition.

Although Zhou Yi was indifferent toward the new Human Race, the Sui Huang clan sensed a huge threat, so they dispatched the beast to uncover the truth.

"Is this the new Human Race?" the beast frowned upon appearing, showing disgust: "How vulgar, not even wearing clothes."

As he struggled to accept the new Human Race's primitive, amoral lifestyle, his divine sense suddenly detected a hidden Jiuselu nearby.

In the next instant, a long staff materialized in the beast's hand, spun rapidly, then struck the Jiuselu with force; with a huge crash, the ground was gouged into a big pit, dust billowing.

The Jiuselu reacted swiftly, its form flickering as it dodged instantly.

This sudden chaos caused the Demon Race commander Jiuselu's mood to plunge.

He immediately cast a spell; a flash of light surged, isolating this area from the new Human Race, temporarily easing the tension.

"What on earth happened?" the Jiuselu whispered, shouting.

After speaking, his figure flashed, dashing toward the turmoil.

At this moment, the beast and another Jiuselu were locked in an indecisive fight.

That Jiuselu was a Golden Immortal-level strongman, while the beast possessed no spiritual power, relying only on a robust physique and rich blood Qi to contend.

A faint blood mist swirled around the staff; each strike purely displayed the essence of force, without any glimmer of spiritual power or rule fluctuations, merely releasing inner strength.

This power seemed faintly linked to some profound the Great Dao, prompting the observing Jiuselu to marvel silently. He had never seen such a unique fighting style, finding it unusually tricky.

The beast seemed to enter a berserk state, strange red light flashing in its eyes, its whole body enveloped by a wild force, each movement embodying near‑perfect beast instincts, sending chills down one's spine.

The Jiuselu who arrived afterward witnessed the scene and was equally shocked.

Yet as the clan's head, he quickly steadied himself and stepped in to help.

He reached out to seize the staff, but the blood Qi within it seeped like countless tiny insects, infiltrating his wrist.

The Jiuselu's gaze darkened, he cursed inwardly, and hurriedly mobilized magical power to expel the blood mist.

Seeing the opponent's neat attire and fearless eyes, the Jiuselu confirmed the person must belong to the Human Race line of Zhou Yi.

"Stop!" As the Jiuselu's aura suddenly contracted, leaving only a barely perceptible pressure, the beast froze on the spot. He could clearly feel that this Jiuselu's strength far exceeded his expectations.

"We only came to observe the new Human Race's situation, with no intention of opposing your line. Moreover, their attitude toward you is not friendly."

"You should just leave."

"This will prevent any unnecessary misunderstandings between us."

The Jiuselu tried his best to make his voice sound gentler.

The beast was also sensible, realizing it could not profit today.

So he slowly retracted his staff, then suddenly leapt up and vanished in an instant, a thousand miles away.

He needed to quickly report the situation back.

"Clan leader, this is all my mistake. I couldn't even handle a single Human Race," the Jiuselu who had previously fought the beast said, his face full of shame.

The Jiuselu merely waved his hand, offering no further rebuke.

"The aura of that person just now was very strange, seeming to have mastered a new technique."

"It seems Zhou Yi's branch is far more complex than we imagined," the Jiuselu's eyes revealed a hint of seriousness.

After speaking, the Jiuselu glanced at the shocked clan members around, signaling them to continue monitoring the newly emerged Human Race group, as that was the most important task at present.

The beast raced on, reaching Huang Guo within three months, directly finding the Sui Huang clan and recounting the events to them in detail.

Upon hearing this, the Sui Huang clan's expression changed abruptly, and they immediately decided to report the matter to Zhou Yi. At that moment, Zhou Yi happened to appear.

"I already know, no need to mention it further. The Demon Race may have already noticed the new Human Race's existence."

"As for this new Human Race, I think they won't significantly affect us; let's keep observation for now."

"If problems arise later, we can deal with them then; it's not too late," Zhou Yi said calmly.

Though the Sui Huang clan felt deep resentment, they could only sigh helplessly, bury their worries deep within, and silently go about their own affairs.

Time flew, and for the Vast Wilderness World, time is the least valuable thing. Once one attains a certain cultivation, living a thousand years is as easy as a snap of the fingers.

The Jiuselu clan guarded this land for one hundred fifty years, during which the Human Race's numbers surged like bamboo after rain, exceeding the originally designated limits.
