Chapter 165: A Human Race That Cannot Be Lifted? Gu Jiangming's Second Son!

Gu Jiangming is in secluded cultivation, but at this time, the world is already a scene of clamor.

Following the end of that battle involving Gu Jiangming, it was almost clearly visible that the influence of the Human Race was growing increasingly vast, especially with the spread of the Starfire Technique; within the entire Human Race, the number of practitioners alone was likely in the hundreds of millions.

Even though not everyone among these hundreds of millions possessed the aptitude to climb to the peak, the advantage of numbers caused heaven-gifted powerhouses to emerge continuously within the Human Race.

For those humans who had mastered the cultivation methods, they could not forget the oppression from the Demon Race that had occurred only a short time ago.

Yet, the powerhouses within the Human Race still had their own calculations; not only did they not continue to scatter the Human Race, but they instead began to build new cities, gathering a Human Race settlement on this land.

The power of practitioners is sufficient to move mountains and fill seas, and especially with hundreds of millions of practitioners gathered, the entire Human Race very easily occupied a piece of fertile land between Heaven and Earth.

The area of this piece of land is not large; seventy thousand li from east to west can only be considered a very small territory for this world.

Hundreds of millions of humans began to gather on this land, and one great cultivation sect after another began to congregate here.

Regardless of what thoughts these great Human Race sects had in the past, after the Dao-enlightened powerhouses of the Human Race issued their orders, gathering in one place to form a Human Territory had become the most important matter for the Human Race today.

For other races between Heaven and Earth, no matter what thoughts they harbored in their hearts, merely seeing the sight of the Human Race gathering in one place to form a territory was enough to make those Demon Race who previously held doubts reluctantly withdraw their gazes.

After all, according to the current actions of the Human Race, it was no different from the path taken by other great races between Heaven and Earth when they rose to power.

If one had to say there was any difference, it was probably just that the number of Human Race practitioners was truly a bit too high.

Yet, this point alone was not enough to make the vast majority of Demon Race tribes go to great lengths to harass the Human Race, which was already ranked among the top great races.

Time flowed slowly, and in just one year, most of the Human Race in the world had already gathered in the so-called Human Territory.

Although Niankong Villa still existed in the world, along with various Human Race sects that were unwilling to relocate, the concept of the Human Territory had slowly taken root in the hearts of both the Demon Race and the Human Race.

For the vast majority of humans, they were naturally unwilling to give up the settlements where they had once lived.

There were even those within the Human Race who questioned the decisions of the Dao-enlightened powerhouses; they did not understand why, after the Human Race had achieved a huge advantage, the Human Race had instead begun to retreat to one place.

"Showing weakness is for a better explosion later!"

"The revenge of the Human Race is not in this decade, nor in the next decade, but in sixty years, or even a hundred years later."

"Only when the hundreds of millions of practitioners within the Human Race have grown up will that be the time for the Human Race to truly bare its fangs at the Demon Race!"

In Niankong Villa, Liu Moxuan looked at Gu Nianmo, who was asking her questions in confusion, and after a soft sigh, she spoke slowly.

If Liu Moxuan were the leader of the Human Race, then Liu Moxuan would absolutely not have abandoned the territory the Human Race had already occupied.

Liu Moxuan was even clear on another point: within the Human Race, as their situation improved, some Dao-enlightened powerhouses had begun to feel that there was nothing wrong with the Human Race standing between Heaven and Earth as a new great race just like this.

As for the voices of those weak ones, those few Dao-enlightened powerhouses who wanted to integrate into the original order were not unaware; they just felt that the current situation was already excellent, and there was no need for the Human Race to stir up trouble again.

Regarding all of this, Liu Moxuan could not change it.

Although she was also a Dao-enlightened powerhouse, she did not have much interaction with the other Dao-enlightened powerhouses of the Human Race, and because Niankong Villa had once been coveted by the Human Race, Liu Moxuan did not have any good feelings toward those Human Race powerhouses.

Especially the practice of gathering the Human Race into a territory; in Liu Moxuan's view, it was simply a terrible move.

Liu Moxuan's personality destined her to be someone unwilling to submit; compared to integrating into the old order, she was more willing to create a new era.

"Mother's words—you probably don't really believe them yourself, right?"

"If people take one step back, they will think that taking another step back should also be fine!"

"Sixty years, a hundred years later, how many people will still remember the hatred of the past?"

"After getting used to peaceful days, I imagine more and more people will covet peace."

"What's more, there are all sorts of contradictions within the Human Race; a hundred years later, even if the Human Race has the strength, I fear they will no longer have the heart to change the world..."

Gu Nianmo was now a youth of fourteen or fifteen, and he looked at his mother, earnestly explaining his thoughts.

On the other side, Liu Moxuan listened to her son's words, but for a moment, she was only silent.

"Mother feels this is not Father's original intention, and I also feel this is not Father's original intention!"

"If Mother wants to do something, then go and do it!"

"Child has always been protected by Mother in Niankong Villa; although I have never stepped out into the world, Mother has always taught me, and I can still feel that Mother has her own ideals and her own ambitions in her heart!"

Gu Nianmo said this to Liu Moxuan, who had stood up to look at him; no one knows a son better than his mother, and no one knows a mother better than her son.

Gu Nianmo could feel that Liu Moxuan was unreconciled with the various measures of the current Human Race, and even wanted to change the Human Race.

If it were in the past, Gu Nianmo's strength would not have been enough, and coupled with his identity being watched by countless forces, he would not have dared to stray too far from Liu Moxuan.

But after so many years, Gu Nianmo had also grown up.

His Nascent Soul Stage strength was not considered that of a powerhouse in the world, but it was not weak either; at least in Gu Nianmo's view, he already had the initial strength to walk the world and even protect himself.

Under these circumstances, he did not want his mother to give up her ambitions because of him.

He had been protected for so many years; if possible, he also wanted to fight side by side with his mother and his father.

Furthermore, Gu Nianmo's cultivation had always been quite smooth, but in the past two years or so, Gu Nianmo had instead felt that his cultivation progress was becoming slower and slower.

His heart could no longer be contained by Niankong Villa.

He also wanted to go out, take a walk, take a look, and use his own vision to see this world as it was today.

"Wait a little longer..."

"Wait another two years before talking about other things!"

Liu Moxuan rubbed her son's head and stood at the entrance of Niankong Villa, looking at the distant horizon. These days, that thought in Liu Moxuan's heart was becoming increasingly restless; she wanted to build the Heavenly Dao Organization once again, and she wanted to lead those humans whose blood had not yet gone cold to completely remove the mountain of the Demon Race from above the heads of the Human Race.

However, the time was not yet ripe.

Although there were still countless humans on this land who were unwilling to move to the Human Territory, Liu Moxuan could not yet see clearly how many of these people were willing to risk their lives for the goal of Great Harmony for the Human Race.

Most importantly, Liu Moxuan was waiting for Gu Jiangming's return.

In the original world, it was Gu Jiangming who had founded the Heavenly Dao Organization; if possible, Liu Moxuan did not want to occupy Gu Jiangming's achievements, and she wanted to wait for Gu Jiangming to come and found the Heavenly Dao Organization that belonged to him in the first place.

On the land, the relocation of the Human Race was still continuing.

In the so-called Human Territory, the number of humans living there had now reached over a billion.

As time passed, some began to gradually forget the life of being food; they let go of the sorrow in their hearts and the hatred in their hearts, wanting only to find their new lives in this Human territory.

But there were even more people who, after tasting a little bit of peace, walked out of the Human Territory without hesitation.

They opened up former settlements in the wild mountains and great marshes, bringing fellow clansmen who were also unwilling to give up their hatred to cultivate in their own settlements, and even hunted those Demon Race.

There were also some people who, after living in the so-called Human Territory, discovered that not much had changed at all.

The strong continued to oppress the weak; even in this era where everyone mastered cultivation methods, those in power still began to oppress the weak due to resources and their high positions.

In the eyes of these humans, nothing had changed in the slightest.

They were deeply disappointed in the so-called Human Territory, so they walked out of the so-called Human Territory and began to establish new human settlements in the wild mountains and great marshes.

Yet on this vast land, while the Demon Race dared not covet the Human Territory, they were full of malice toward those humans who took the initiative to establish settlements outside the Human Territory.

To the ordinary Demon Race, it was truly difficult to find food of such quantity and quality as the humans.

Even though those demons knew that the human race was actually ranked as a major race, they still harbored the same old malice when facing humans outside the Human Territory.

Everything seemed to be developing in a good direction, yet everything also seemed to have undergone no change at all.

Those in the Human Territory at best only needed to worry no longer about becoming food in their sleep, but the oppression from those in power grew increasingly heavy, so heavy that it made one dazed: is the human race truly a major race? As for those human settlements outside the Human Territory, whether they were slaughtered or simply disappeared, the strong within the so-called Human Territory never once showed much of a reaction.

It was as if the strong in the Human Territory were using this method to tell the Demon Race that those who left the Human Territory were no longer under the protection of the humans? Seeing the humans in this state, the demons, who had previously been fighting each other until their brains were almost spilled, were suddenly in no rush.

After all, it was truly difficult to find such good sustenance as the humans anywhere in the world.

Since the strong humans outside the Human Territory did not care, did it mean that they could still keep humans as livestock?

In fact, the Human Territory was not of one mind either.

There were human experts who had arrived full of enthusiasm, but after seeing the development of the Human Territory, they had left one after another; they disdained to associate with those oppressors, but they could not change anything and could only depart in dejection.

In just three years, the whole world seemed to have changed, yet it also seemed to have undergone no change at all?

The Human Territory was growing stronger; the Human Territory could likely gather hundreds of thousands of people who were merely at the Golden Core Stage.

Yet outside the Human Territory, humans were still being kept as livestock, still being used as sustenance; it was merely that compared to the openness of the past, it had now become something done in the shadows.

"Heh, I was previously regretting not having formed an alliance with the humans."

"Looking at it now, it is fortunate that I did not form an alliance with the humans!"

"For a race like this, if not for the fact that they have experts who have attained the Dao among them, and if not for the fact that the Demon Race was willing to take a step back by chance, how could such a race be a major race?"

In the Dragon Palace, the old Dragon King was also watching the development of the human race.

But facing the current development of the human race, the corner of the old Dragon King's mouth could not help but carry a trace of a mocking smile.

The total number of human experts who had attained the Dao was less than the number of fingers on two hands, and among them, Liu Moxuan was at Niankong Villa and had never once paid any attention to the so-called Human Territory.

Gu Jiangming had never shown his face, making people even doubt whether he was alive or dead.

As for the remaining human experts who had attained the Dao, Old Man Taicang had only stayed in the Human Territory for half a month before leaving, and with the two other human experts who had attained the Dao leaving later, the number of experts who had attained the Dao in the so-called Human Territory was merely four.

Four experts who had attained the Dao; even some stronger middle-tier races had this many experts.

With the human race like this, the old Dragon King naturally looked down upon them immensely.

"Hum..."

The changes in the human race were noticed by more and more people, especially as the number of experts who had attained the Dao in the Human Territory was confirmed; those middle-tier demons who had once been anxious returned to their former attitude toward the humans.

They had originally thought that the human race was an unshakable mountain, but time told them that they had thought too much.

A human race with a number of experts who had attained the Dao equal to the fingers on two hands was naturally one of the few major races between Heaven and Earth, and naturally, it would not tolerate provocation from ordinary small races, but if the human race was only a middle-tier race...

Sorry, but after thinking it over, the Demon Race still felt that since your human race had been sustenance for so many years, you might as well continue to be food for the Demon Race!

This entire sequence of events took only three years.

In three years, the people in the Human Territory were no longer safe; great demons, unable to restrain their gluttony, had already taken the initiative to devour human towns that gathered millions of people! Among them, those three great demons who had fled before were the most active.

They had not forgotten the fear Gu Jiangming had brought them; if they could not take revenge on Gu Jiangming, could they not take revenge on the current humans? But on this day, in the eastern region of the entire Heaven and Earth, no one knew what kind of change had occurred; heavenly flowers fell from the firmament, golden lotuses bloomed from the earth, and Spirit Qi transformed into divine dragons, heavenly phoenixes, and qilin, forming auspicious omens.

In a place where no one could see, even more immense human destiny gathered in that eastern land!

Following those changes, one could suddenly hear the sound of a baby crying in this Heaven and Earth.

When this baby cried, the sound moved in all eight directions, drawing the attention of countless living beings between Heaven and Earth!
