Chapter 1106

One month, two months, three months...

Five months, six months, seven months...

Time flowed by, the human race argued, Ji Bai Jie slapped the table on Nüwa Island, Wu Tie's army, like autumn wind sweeping leaves, scoured the human race's territory, exterminating everything related to gods, whether human or non-human.

Demons were constantly slain, and the demon minions hidden within the human race were constantly dug out; then, according to the severity of their crimes, either the entire clan was executed or they were beheaded publicly.

Wu Tie rarely sat in command at Wu Capital, and for a long time he did not go out wandering aimlessly.

Every ten days, the envoy stationed by Wuguo on Nüwa Island would relay the island's latest situation back to Wu Capital.

The elite of the commoners argued, arguing over how to dispose of Gong Sun Jun's family.

Some advocated a direct approach, to exterminate Gong Sun Jun's family root and branch.

But more advocated following Gong Sun Jun's family's leads, digging deeper, and thus sweeping clean the interior of the human race.

Those who insisted on the second approach aimed directly at the Nüwa Clan, wanting to strike at the Nüwa Clan's influence within the human race by following Qing Ning's connections within the Nüwa Clan.

Each side had its arguments, and neither could convince the other.

Furthermore, other elite of the human race had even more ideas.

Nüwa Island fell, Xi Valley fell; over countless years, the two great powers that could be called the leaders of the human race vanished completely, the human race lacked a central pillar, and a new leading force must arise.

Where this new leading force would come from is a serious question.

Because of Qing Ning, the Nüwa Clan basically had no hope.

The Xi Huang lineage's elite in Xi Valley suffered near-total loss, and its authority collapsed severely.

The old fogies of the ancient clans—Divine Farmer Clan, Fire-Man Clan, Zhuanyu Clan, and others—came forth one after another, citing scriptures, touting their contributions to all of humanity in human history, promoting their certain geniuses and outstanding individuals as having kingly bearing, claiming they should be the human sovereign, and so on.

Ji Bai Jie also jumped about, striving to gain his own rights.

He announced the number of subjects under his command now, announced the strength and number of the elite troops of his Heavenly Court, and at the same time made public the core secrets of the Heavenly Court.

The elite of the human race had once commanded armies and fought the Heavenly Court, and they more or less knew that the Heavenly Court's soldiers seemed to be immortal bodies.

But the ordinary commoners of the human race were hearing this for the first time.

For a time, the Heavenly Court's prestige soared; they attacked the great clans' holy temples, looted fragments of supreme treasures, and their infamous reputation among the common folk also spread, shaking all directions.

The Heavenly Court was evidently a newly risen force within the human race, formally appearing before everyone's eyes.

Compared to the Heavenly Court's extravagant arrogance, constantly provoking the great clans, the various units of the Hidden Dragon Army were extraordinarily low-key and restrained. They were stationed on Nüwa Island, constantly watching Gong Sun Jun's family, seeking only justice!

Amidst such turmoil, time flowed swiftly.

Wu Tie's Wuguo army used the spatial gates and teleportation arrays set up by Nüwa Island on Mu Dalu, together with the God-Slaying Vessel's own supernatural ability to tear through space and shift, rapidly spreading across Mu Dalu's hunting grounds, battlefields, and fate fields.

They leisurely swept away piece after piece of human-inhabited land, clearing everything harmful to the human race.

As the Wuguo army advanced, each day a tide-like flow of merit power poured down from heaven, constantly pouring into Wu Tie and the many civil and military officials of Wuguo, as well as the expeditionary soldiers.

As the lord of Wuguo, Wu Tie undoubtedly received the lion's share of the merit power.

Behind Wu Tie, the Merit Golden Wheel, due to the excessively thick and vast merit power, was undergoing strange changes internally.

Through the secret urging of some Wuguo officials, the Wuguo army saved countless human civilians deep in fire and water, and Wu Tie's name, thanks to the army's promotion, was deeply engraved in the hearts of those rescued human civilians.

On the land masses of Mu Dalu, countless humans who had escaped death and gained life erected spirit tablets, inscribed Wu Tie's name, and moreover, the portrait of Wu Tie painted by Wuguo's Master Painter was hung high above.

Each day, an incalculable amount of incense-faith power, together with heavenly-earth merit, continuously poured into the Merit Golden Wheel behind Wu Tie.

The amount of incense-faith power Wu Tie receives each day even rivals the harvest of several years from Nüwa Island's Ancestral Spirit Space.

Indeed, the incense-faith power within Nüwa Island's Ancestral Spirit Space comes entirely from the large-scale sacrificial ceremonies held by the scattered Nüwa Clan tribes across various places, and these tribes hold such ceremonies only once a year, or even once every several years, at fixed times.

The sacrificial ceremonies held by these Nüwa Clan tribes are mostly linked to the Nüwa Clan's activities of selecting in-laws, and the number of participants is just a few cats and dogs, three or five.

Where could there be more faith power than that gathered day and night by countless human civilians burning incense, praying, and feeling grateful?

In short, time passed like that for three years.

The number of Wuguo's army also snowballed over three years, increasing by a hundredfold or more compared to the total of three years ago.

Wuguo's army has already scoured countless human-inhabited land masses, and has scoured all land masses bearing any trace of human activity known to the present.

On this very day, the various army corps dispatched by Wuguo to fight all sent back messages to Wu Capital and Nüwa Island.

——Our army, no battles.

This has been three consecutive months of battle‑free reports sent back by the Wuguo army corps.

The Wuguo army corps strove to spread outward in all directions, but in three months' time they encountered no enemy whatsoever.

Unbelievably, the Wuguo army truly cleared the human race's present territory of all demons, all gods' minions, and cleaned up nearly all external threats within the human race.

On Nüwa Island, in the main hall of Wahuang Miao, Ji Bai Jie slapped the table in angry embarrassment.

"Don't compare your bunch of little brats with me…… Human Sovereign? Them? Hahaha, you make this old man laugh!"

Come, come, come, whether it's a mule or a horse, bring it out for a walk.

Don't say I, Ji Bai Jie, am bullying you; whoever can command the troops and knock this venerable one's Heavenly Court elite flat, this venerable one will acknowledge them as the true leader of humanity! If not, just obediently go home and nurse!

Ji Bai Jie's eyes turned green as he hissed and roared.

Now he has troops and commanders, countless commoners seized from plundering, and furthermore countless divine weapons forged from fragments of supreme treasures at his side; the Heavenly Court's combat power has surged by an unknown multiple, he fundamentally looks down on these 'clinging to remnants, guarding deficiencies', 'stupid and incompetent' human civilian elite before him.

He is Xiao, he provokes, he stirs up wind and waves, tossing about for over three years; he simply wants to achieve his grand ambitions.

He wants to step on all these lofty human elite with one foot.

Just as when he was young, being stepped on in the mud and insulted by those noble sons of his clan, he will step on these old fogies and their descendants with one foot.

Suddenly, Xue Jiu's voice echoed in Ji Bai Jie's mind.

Then Ji Bai Jie's body suddenly stiffened, and involuntarily he transformed into a long rainbow that shot out of Wahuang Miao.

All the troops of the Heavenly Court forcibly stationed on Wa Island turned into rainbows and flew out, rushing into the God-Slaying Ship moored at the edge of Wa Island; then the enormous God-Slaying Ship directly tore through space and relocated, vanishing without a trace.

Above Wa Island, only Ji Bai Jie's unwilling roar remained.
