Chapter 37: Golden Elixir Great Rice? Merely an Inferior Great Rice

Just as the gods were discussing how to treat the Human Race.

The Human Ancestors had already reached a conclusion on their end.

When the three Ancestors arrived at the God Race gathering place again, Cangtian Laozu asked first: "The three of you, what have you decided?"

"Hmm, after our discussion, we have decided not to join the Divine Court!" Suirenshi said calmly.

Hearing this choice, the gods could not help but feel greatly surprised.

After all, their God Race had been magnanimous enough to pay a huge price to communicate with the Human Race, yet in the end, they still chose to be enemies with the God Race!

Consequently, the gods could not help but feel a surge of anger, and boundless Divine Will began to permeate the air.

"However!"

Suirenshi looked at them calmly and continued: "We do not mind if some humans join any faction, nor do we mind if some humans go anywhere in Honghuang, or even to other worlds!"

Once these words were spoken, the gods were instantly rendered speechless.

"Your Human Race wants to hedge your bets? To act as shameful fence-sitters?" Samuyi raised an eyebrow and said playfully.

This remark made the three Ancestors unhappy, and they glared coldly at Samuyi one after another.

"Hmph, my Human Race has never joined any faction; we haven't in the past, we cannot now, and we certainly won't in the future! Let alone being those fence-sitters!" Youchao snorted coldly.

"If that is the case, then how do you explain the Wu Clan?" Kaluo's Divine Will surged, and he looked at Youchao indifferently.

The three Ancestors smiled instantly.

"What we, the Human Race, uphold is to let things take their natural course! If the God Race can make any one of our humans, or any one of our tribes, willingly submit to you, we at the Human Ancestral Land will have no objections."

Ziyi smiled.

"This seat understands what you mean."

At this moment, Cangtian Laozu spoke again: "Since that is the case, then how will you choose between our God Race and that Taishang Laozi?"

"Today, this seat can tell you clearly: if our Divine Court Princess cannot be found, then there will be an irreparable rift between our two races!"

"His Majesty will not tolerate any murderer and their accomplice going unpunished!"

The three Ancestors looked at each other, and they all saw worry in each other's eyes.

At this time, Xingchen Laozu, who had been watching quietly from the side, stepped out and said.

"The three of you, our Divine Court can confirm that Taishang Laozi is the murderer who caused the Princess to go missing! Are you certain you want to become his accomplices?"

"How can we discern the truth?"

"Withdraw, and stop the preaching! Should you suffer any losses, our Divine Court will compensate you!"

The Human Ancestors were silent.

"Well?" Xingchen Laozu pressed.

"Sigh!" Suirenshi sighed, "Our Human Race does not wish to be ungrateful wretches. The old master has bestowed great kindness upon our Human Race by teaching us the Great Rice and the path of the cultivator; we do not wish to make any choice in this matter!"

"Hahaha, you humans are indeed selfish and self-interested!" Samuyi mocked mercilessly.

"To avoid suffering from your own conscience, you are actually willing to act as accomplices to a tiger!"

The three Ancestors did not refute this, only responding with silence.

"Heh!"

Cangtian Laozu's sudden laughter drew everyone's attention.

He said: "If it is because of this, you need not be like this."

Seeing the confusion on the faces of the three Ancestors, Cangtian Laozu smiled faintly: "This seat has also been listening to the Golden Elixir Great Rice preached by that Taishang Laozi for some time."

Then he mocked, "Golden Elixir Great Rice? Haha, your Human Race actually treats a Great Rice that can only reach the level of a Golden Immortal at its peak as a treasure!"

"What??!"

Once these words were spoken, the Human Ancestors exclaimed in disbelief, and even the gods were stunned for a moment.

"Is this true!?" Youchao asked suspiciously!

"Hmph, this seat has ascended to the peak of Hunyuan; why would I need to deceive you with such an inferior Great Rice!" Cangtian Laozu sneered.

"I just deduced this Golden Elixir Great Rice and discovered a shackle hidden within that is difficult to break. Those who practice this path, no matter how gifted, will be stuck in place for their entire lives and unable to break through! Let alone achieving the Proof of Rice!"

The observant Huangtian Laozu also dealt a blow at this moment: "You don't really think this Taishang Laozi is helping the Human Race step onto the Great Rice, do you? Are you sure he isn't limiting the development of the Human Race?"

Hearing this, the three Ancestors felt a sense of mental turmoil.

"Ah!! You are all presumptuous!!!"

Just at this moment, a deafening and extremely aggrieved roar of anger from Taishang Laozi suddenly came from outside.

……

It turned out.

When Cangtian Laozu exposed his Golden Elixir Great Rice, he realized that the Human Luck that had been rising was dropping like water at this very moment.

He, who was about to use Human Luck to achieve the Proof of Rice, was suddenly about to return to how he was before.

Terrified, he immediately stopped his preaching and, after deducing the Tianji,

he discovered that the source of his plummeting Human Luck was coming from the God Race gathering place below.

He immediately released his Divine Sense, and then he heard the final remarks of Cangtian Laozu.

Consequently, in extreme rage, he immediately interrupted his own preaching, and with the majestic momentum of a Quasi-Saint Peak, he roared and pressed down toward the God Race gathering place.

To cut off one's path of Rice is like killing one's kin and destroying one's ancestors—an irreconcilable enmity!

……

Taishang Laozi's roar made the Human Ancestors, who still had doubts, immediately believe Cangtian's words by eight or nine parts.

Their faces suddenly turned somewhat pale.

At this moment, Suirenshi recalled this period of time.

No wonder that after his cultivation reached the Golden Immortal level, even with the blessing of massive merit, he simply could not break through to the Quasi-Saint level.

Now, the truth has finally come to light!

He had originally thought that his own aptitude was poor, or that his comprehension was insufficient.

For quite some time, he had even felt anxious because of this!

Now, damn it, it turns out this was all a scam!

What is he trying to do?!!

This was the thought shared by the three of them at this moment.

With matters having reached this point, what they wanted to know now was, what was the purpose of Taishang Laozi doing this?

Thinking of this, Youchao immediately braced himself against the aura of Taishang Laozi and said resentfully: "Everyone, our Human Race will no longer be involved in this!"

Having said this, Youchao nodded to Suirenshi and Ziyi.

They immediately flashed into the sky together, confronted the approaching Taishang Laozi for a moment, and then shouted to the bewildered crowd below.

"All members of the Human Race, listen! Taishang Laozi harbors evil intentions toward our Human Race; the Golden Elixir Great Rice he passed down is a conspiracy he has laid out. I order all members of the Human Race to evacuate immediately!"

"What?"

"What is going on?"

"Hiss! Looking at the appearance of the ancestors, it seems they are serious!"

Just as all the members of the Human Race were discussing this, Shaohao, who had always managed the affairs of the Human Race, immediately flew up as well.

"Everyone, follow the orders of the Three Ancestors and evacuate!"

Seeing this, all the members of the Human Race in the Immortal Realm flew into the sky one after another, scattering in all directions.

Taishang Laozi did not stop them at all, watching coldly from the side.

It was simply because there was no need to.

His reputation among the Human Race and the Human Luck he possessed had already been severed at the waist, becoming a dead end.

Stopping them now would not be able to recover the losses.

Just at this moment, the forty-five Supreme Gods of the Divine Court appeared together, all erupting with powerful auras.

Led by Cangtian Laozu, dozens of Supreme Gods surrounded Taishang Laozi in the center.

Among them, there was no lack of Cangtian Laozu at the peak of the Supreme God realm, along with over a dozen late-stage Supreme Gods and over a dozen mid-stage Supreme Gods.

This move not only stunned the Witch and Demon Clans, but also left some Great Supernatural Beings who were observing from the shadows taken aback.
