Chapter 211: The Traces of Gu Nianmo!

As time flowed day by day, along with the passage of time, the entire territory of the Human Race had completely fallen into a state of war.

In lands that should have belonged to the Human Race, more and more of the Demon Race began to appear.

Some of those Demon Race members occupied mountains as kings, tyrannically turning the areas surrounding those peaks into their own spheres of influence.

Powerful Demon Race members even went so far as to directly usurp entire nations; the number of small nations within the Human Race's territory was not small, and even for a small nation, the number of humans within them reached into the hundreds of millions.

These small nations were not without experts to hold them down, but under the pervasive demonic atmosphere, even if there were experts holding down the national borders, the final outcome was nothing more than the nation becoming a playground for the Demon Race.

In a short span of three to five months, ever since the Northern Front was breached, the entire territory of the Human Race had truly and completely changed its appearance.

Even as one Heaven and Earth Enlightenment expert of the Human Race after another walked out of seclusion, and even as one disciple of a major sect after another walked out of their mountain gates, facing this seemingly endless Demon Race, they were still somewhat insufficient for a time.

After all, the base population of the Human Race dictated that it was impossible for every human to embark on the path of cultivation.

The ancient Starfire Technique had long been lost, and the major sects and schools only recruited disciples in the world who possessed natural talent and aptitude.

Even though there were many sects in the world, facing this surging demonic atmosphere, they were still insufficient.

Most importantly, the fall of the seven major cities in the north meant that the Enlightened Deities among the Demon Race also began to emerge from the Northern Border, and after practicing the Swallowing Heaven and Earth Method, the strength of these Demon Race members from the Northern Border had greatly increased.

Under such circumstances, most of the Human Race's Enlightened Deities could only head to the north, subsequently relying on one major human city after another to confront the Enlightened Deities of the Demon Race, while the remaining portion had to go to the Western Lands front to hold the line.

And without such powerful Enlightened Deities sweeping across the world, relying solely on the disciples of the major sects was fundamentally unable to stop the Demon Race of the Northern Border from pouring into the Human Race's territory in an endless stream.

It was also in the fifth month since the start of the Human-Demon War that the Human Race suffered another major defeat.

A seven-person team composed entirely of Human Race Enlightened Deities, while patrolling in the north, encountered an ambush by Demon Race Enlightened Deities; not a single one of those seven Human Race Enlightened Deities managed to escape.

After this news spread from the Northern Front, it once again caused the hearts of all living beings within the Human Race to turn cold.

One must know that this great war between humans and demons had only been going on for a mere five months, and the number of Enlightened Deities—once hailed as those for whom everyone beneath the gods were but ants—who had fallen was already nearing fifty!

Such a loss, looking back at the tens of thousands of years of Human Race history, was also an unimaginably disastrous defeat.

And no one knew that as the slaughter in the north became increasingly tragic, three figures appeared on the desolate northern border of the Great Wilderness beyond the Northern Border.

"Is ascending to become an Immortal really that important?"

Of these three figures, one had the appearance of a youth, one had the appearance of a middle-aged man, and one had the appearance of an old man.

Just by looking at the positioning of these three figures, one could see that these three were vaguely led by the youth.

And if Gu Jiangming were standing here, he would be able to recognize that these three were clearly Ziwu, the old Dragon King, and his eldest son, Gu Nianmo!!! Yes, Gu Nianmo!

"Is it not important?"

"For the sake of ascending to become an Immortal, my father could let my mother, my aunt, my younger brother, and my younger sister lose contact and fall one after another."

"I am merely learning from my father, taking my father's place, to go and see exactly what kind of splendor that Immortal Realm holds!"

"I am merely learning from my father, making some insignificant sacrifices at the time of ascending to become an Immortal!" "For the sake of ascending to become an Immortal, everything can be cast aside; isn't this the final principle my father taught me?"

"At this moment, I am merely putting into practice the final lesson my father taught me!"

As Gu Nianmo listened to the words of the Supreme Ziwu, which carried a hint of lament, a mocking smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

It was unknown what Gu Nianmo had experienced over these years, but when he spoke of Gu Jiangming, his words were clearly filled with infinite resentment!

"But this Human Race, after all, is the Human Race that you, he, and Gu Shengxi built together..."

The Supreme Ziwu looked at the Gu Nianmo before him with a complex expression; clearly, Gu Nianmo was still the same person, but at this moment, Gu Nianmo made the Supreme Ziwu feel so strange.

Regarding the Human Race, the Supreme Ziwu had truly looked after them for seventy thousand years in accordance with his promise.

It was only that at that time, Heaven and Earth were in the End of Dharma, and the Supreme Ziwu had also reached the point where he had to break through; he could only follow the advice of the Supreme Changyu and leave Heaven and Earth together with the Supreme Changyu to head to the Great Wilderness.

The Great Wilderness was desolate, but there were a full nine Immortal Dao Lineages within the Great Wilderness.

The nine Immortal Dao Lineages were connected to each other, and they created small realms one after another in that Great Wilderness land; some of these small realms were merely a mountain cave, with their own universe of sun and moon within the cave.

Others were oases; the oasis was the surface, and inside there was another realm space.

The footsteps of the nine Immortal Dao Lineages were linked to almost the vast majority of the Great Wilderness, forming their own system of rules within that Great Wilderness.

And where there were Immortal Dao Lineages, the Heavenly Human realm was considered the strongest in the Great Wilderness, but they were not truly the strongest.

At the very least, the Heavenly Humans that the Supreme Ziwu had seen over these years were likely no fewer than sixty, most of whom the Supreme Ziwu had seen when Gu Nianmo was taken as a personal disciple by an Immortal.

"That's right, this Human Race was originally forged by me, my father, and Sheng Xi!"

"At this time, I have a need, so what if I let the Human Race suffer for a while?"

"Once I attain the Dao and ascend to become an Immortal, the Human Race will not perish; at that time, within my Heaven and Earth, the Human Race will still be the hegemon of Heaven and Earth."

Gu Nianmo's face still carried a smile, but when the old Dragon King and the Supreme Ziwu looked at the smile on Gu Nianmo's face, the sighs in their hearts only grew deeper.

They also did not know when Gu Nianmo had begun to change, but the Gu Nianmo at this moment was absolutely vastly different from the Gu Nianmo they had known fifteen thousand years ago.

That difference was so great that they almost did not seem like the same person! "Continue to push forward according to the plan!"

"One and a half parts of Heaven and Earth have already entered into deathly silence; when three parts of Heaven and Earth enter into deathly silence, that will be the moment when Heaven and Earth's resistance is at its most intense."

"At that time, I hope to trouble the two of you to look at my master and our past friendship, and feed those Great Medicines to the Heavenly Will to promote the maturation of the Immortal Dao Principle!"

"When I attain the Dao and ascend to become an Immortal, I will certainly not forget the benefits for the two of you."

Gu Nianmo gazed into the scenery within Heaven and Earth with deep eyes; his cultivation had already reached an unimaginable realm, and even across an infinite distance, everything within that Heaven and Earth seemed to be entirely within his view.

As for the Supreme Ziwu and the old Dragon King, although they were unwilling in their hearts, they were constrained by others, and coupled with Gu Nianmo's current strength and their own current status, they could only bow their heads and agree to Gu Nianmo's words.
