Chapter 81

Seeing Guang Chengzi shout in surprise, Yuanshi Tianzun did not care.

"Those who intervened in the shadows are merely looking to invest. You may go; it will not be long before someone intervenes on Chiyou's side as well. After all, it is impossible for all the myriad races of the Primordial World to favor Xuanyuan; there will always be those who favor Chiyou," Yuanshi Tianzun said with a smile.

"Master, then does this disciple not need to do anything?" Guang Chengzi asked cautiously.

Yuanshi Tianzun did not speak; he merely glanced at Guang Chengzi indifferently, then closed his eyes to feign sleep.

Seeing this look from Yuanshi Tianzun, Guang Chengzi immediately understood something. He bowed respectfully and then exited the Yuxu Palace.

After exiting the Yuxu Palace, Guang Chengzi found the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect. After explaining the reasons to them, the Twelve Golden Immortals went down the mountain with Guang Chengzi.

In this lifetime, the Twelve Golden Immortals did not include Perfected Jade Tripod, so Yuanshi Tianzun added the Antarctic Immortal to the ranks of the Twelve Golden Immortals.

After returning to the Chiyou Tribe, Guang Chengzi did not let Chiyou meet with others, because now, apart from the humans on the surface, everyone else was in the shadows. If exposed, they might become targets for all forces.

After the arrival of the Twelve Golden Immortals, in the following days, cultivators arrived at the Chiyou Tribe one after another. Seeing this, a smile appeared on Guang Chengzi's face.

Master was indeed right; not everyone favored Xuanyuan.

People from other races also discovered the Twelve Golden Immortals, but they did not expose them. At the same time, they were full of confidence in Chiyou; after all, Chiyou was Guang Chengzi's disciple, and Guang Chengzi was under a Saint.

Although Xuanyuan's side was under the Ren Sect, the leader of the Ren Sect was, after all, not a Saint.

In fact, Chiyou had already discovered the external forces when they entered the tribe, but he did not say anything.

The fate of these forces could better stimulate those humans who had ulterior motives, so he would not need to specifically screen them himself.

On Xuanyuan's side, because he did not know the reason for the great war with Chiyou and Shaodian had died, his side was being operated by Ruyi.

With the myriad races of the Primordial World entering the fray, the atmosphere within the human race began to become subtle.

"Tsk tsk tsk! The predecessor to the Investiture of the Gods calamity! This scene is truly similar!" Inside the Sheng Huang Hall, Pan Huang said with a smile as he saw the current situation of the human race.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and ten years went by. In these ten years, the human race had gradually recovered through rest and recuperation.

During these ten years, under the deliberate operations of Ruyi and the others, all those who had ulterior motives toward the human race had become members of Xuanyuan's and Chiyou's troops.

"The second great war can begin. Since you want to play, then let us play a big one. This time, we go all in!" Pan Huang said indifferently.

When Ruyi and the others received Pan Huang's order, they began to act immediately, and subsequently, Chiyou also received the news.

"Is it starting already?" Chiyou muttered to himself, looking toward the direction of the Xuanyuan Tribe.

After saying this, he began to assemble his troops, preparing for the decisive battle with Xuanyuan.

Xuanyuan's side soon received news of Chiyou assembling his troops. He knew that the decisive battle with Chiyou was coming. After ten years of development, both tribes had recovered their vitality.

When Chiyou assembled his troops, the myriad races of the Primordial World also began to prepare. This time, they were determined to get a share of the pie from the human race.

After the troops were assembled, Chiyou launched his forces first. The location for their decisive battle was finally set at Zhuolu. When the two met again, Xuanyuan did not say the words he had said before.

"In this battle, either you die or I live," Chiyou said indifferently, looking at Xuanyuan.

To be honest, Xuanyuan had the temperament of a leader. Over these ten years, Xuanyuan had matured significantly, and there was already a faint aura of a superior about him.

"I will bury you with the highest honors," Xuanyuan said indifferently.

"Good!" Chiyou nodded.

Having reached this point, neither of them held any grudge against the other; it was just that the general environment was such, and the situation forced their hands.

"My boys, charge with me!" This time, it was Xuanyuan who launched the charge first.

After Xuanyuan launched the charge, those races among the myriad races of the Primordial World that supported Xuanyuan began to exert their strength in secret. Seeing this, a sneer appeared on Chiyou's face. The ultimate winner of this battle would only be the human race; all other participants would be stepping stones for the rise of the human race.

As Chiyou also charged, the myriad races of the Primordial World helping Chiyou's side also exerted their strength. When the two sides clashed, it was effectively a struggle between the myriad races of the Primordial World.

The Twelve Golden Immortals also changed their appearances and mingled on Chiyou's side. They had to make Chiyou win; otherwise, the Chan Sect would gain nothing and would become a laughingstock among the myriad races of the Primordial World.

After all, the Human Emperor supported by the Chan Sect failing to seize the position of co-lord would be enough for the myriad races of the Primordial World to laugh at them for a long time.

"Let us begin our actions as well," Ruyi said with a smile.

The scale of the Battle of Zhuolu was immense; Xuanyuan and Chiyou had basically emptied their nests. This battle, coupled with the intervention of the myriad races of the Primordial World, was fought so fiercely that it darkened the sky and earth, leaving the forces watching the spectacle with their jaws dropped.

After several charges, Chiyou's side gradually gained the upper hand, which brought a smile of victory to Guang Chengzi's face. Besides Guang Chengzi, the races helping Chiyou also had smiles of victory on their faces.

However, their smiles did not last long before they vanished, because the battlefield presented the same scene as the previous Battle of Banquan: Chiyou's side inexplicably began to collapse, which left everyone unable to react.

"Hahaha, the will of heaven is with me! Charge with me!" Xuanyuan laughed loudly and actually led his troops to charge over personally.

"Well come!" Seeing Xuanyuan charging over, Chiyou knew his task was about to be completed. He shouted loudly and also charged at the very front.

When the two collided, Chiyou felt Xuanyuan's strength. Xuanyuan's strength had a certain gap compared to his, so he held back some of his force.

"Sigh! I don't know why Ancestral Witch Lord would do this, but my task is about to be completed. Ancestral Witch Lord must have his reasons for doing so," a question suddenly appeared in Chiyou's heart.

But in the next second, this question was dismissed by himself, because Pan Huang was an Ancestral Witch of the Wu Clan; what he did could never be harmful to the Wu Clan, nor could it be harmful to the Jiuli Tribe.

Just as Chiyou was distracted, Xuanyuan slashed over with his sword, directly severing Chiyou's right arm. Looking at the Witch-Slaying Sword in Xuanyuan's hand—no, it should be called the Xuanyuan Sword now.

Looking at the Xuanyuan Sword in Xuanyuan's hand, a smile appeared on Chiyou's face. When Xuanyuan's second sword slashed over, Chiyou abandoned all resistance and even actively met Xuanyuan's sword.

Pfft—

With a soft sound, the Xuanyuan Sword pierced through Chiyou's chest. Xuanyuan stared blankly at the sword in his hand and the Chiyou before him.

"Xuanyuan, you won. The position of the human co-lord is yours," Chiyou said with a smile.

"Why?" A complex look appeared on Xuanyuan's face; he did not know why Chiyou had abandoned resistance at the final moment.

"After you attain the Dao, you will understand everything. What you need to do now is to manage the human race well and complete the great unification of the human race," Chiyou said with a smile.

After saying this, he shattered his own heart pulse and then slowly lowered his head.

"Chiyou is dead! Chiyou is dead!" After Chiyou died, Bai Jian, who was by Xuanyuan's side, shouted loudly.

After Bai Jian's voice rang out, Chiyou's side immediately fell into chaos. At this moment, Xuanyuan was still in a daze, so Bai Jian personally led the main force to launch an attack on the Chiyou Tribe.

Because Chiyou's death caused the Chiyou Tribe's morale to collapse, they were basically wiped out after two waves of charging by Bai Jian.

Looking at the battlefield where only his own people remained, a smile appeared on Bai Jian's face. He seemed to have already seen the scene of himself becoming a person above others.

Pfft—

In the next second, a sharp blade pierced through his chest. Bai Jian looked down at the blade piercing his chest, a trace of disbelief flashing in his eyes, along with a trace of unwillingness. In the next second, he completely lost consciousness.

"Damn it! We didn't get any benefits, and you won't either! If the worst comes to the worst, we'll go down together!" The races of the Primordial World supporting Chiyou's side became furious after seeing Chiyou's death.

Because their hope was shattered, since they could not get any benefits, they would not let the other side have it easy either.

After Chiyou died, Zhao Gongming and the others were ready. Once the internal part of the human race was cleaned up, they would take action.

"Stop!" Just as the human "parasites" on Xuanyuan's side were cleaned up, Zhao Gongming and the others happened to appear on the battlefield.

"Do you want to go against the heavens?" Zhao Gongming looked at the people of the myriad races of the Primordial World with a gloomy face.

Upon seeing Zhao Gongming, the myriad races of the Primordial World knew they had no chance. They looked coldly at Xuanyuan and then vanished from the spot.

The races of the Primordial World supporting Xuanyuan's side showed fawning smiles after seeing Zhao Gongming, because they had helped Xuanyuan achieve victory; surely they would get a portion of the merit next, right?

But Zhao Gongming ignored them entirely. Seeing that Xuanyuan was not in danger, Zhao Gongming and the others vanished from the spot.

Guang Chengzi and the Twelve Golden Immortals looked at Chiyou's corpse and were stunned for a moment. The others were better off; their original intention was just to sponge some merit, and it didn't matter if they didn't get any.

But Guang Chengzi did not think so. As Chiyou's master, now that Chiyou was dead, everything he had paid was meaningless, which gave him a feeling of losing both his person and his wealth.

No, this was not a feeling; he had indeed lost both his person and his wealth now.

"Damn Pan Huang! This deity will definitely not let you off." In the Yuxu Palace on Mount Kunlun, Yuanshi Tianzun released his killing intent after seeing this scene.

In Mount Kunlun, all living beings knelt on the ground after sensing Yuanshi Tianzun's killing intent.

Even West Kunlun was affected by Yuanshi Tianzun's killing intent. Seeing this, the Queen Mother of the West merely shook her head helplessly and then fell back into cultivation.

The East Sea and the Western Sect laughed out loud after seeing this. The Human Emperor's teacher, whom Yuanshi Tianzun had exchanged for with a Wind-Thunder Immortal Apricot, ended up with such a result; this made Jieyin and Zhunti feel extremely comfortable.

Not to mention Yuanshi Tianzun's side, on the Zhuolu battlefield, while cleaning up the battlefield, Xuanyuan fulfilled his promise and buried Chiyou here with thick honors.

Afterward, he took his men to the Chiyou Tribe. He thought receiving the Chiyou Tribe would be very difficult, but to Xuanyuan's surprise, the receiving process was surprisingly smooth; the entire Chiyou Tribe did not have the slightest bit of resistance.

Seeing this scene, Xuanyuan could not help but think of what Chiyou had said to him before he died.

"It seems I need to investigate after I go back," Xuanyuan muttered to himself.

In fact, even if Chiyou had not said those last few sentences, Xuanyuan would have had people investigate after returning, because the fact that other forces of the Primordial World had participated in the Battle of Zhuolu made Xuanyuan immediately realize that the war between him and Chiyou was not that simple.

After returning to the tribe, Xuanyuan immediately had his confidants investigate the truth of the great war between him and Chiyou.

When the truth of the matter was laid before him, Xuanyuan's eyes widened; he simply could not believe that the truth of this matter was like this.

"So that's how it is, so that's how it is!" Xuanyuan muttered to himself.

Taking several deep breaths, Xuanyuan finally calmed his agitated mood. After his mood calmed down, a cold glint appeared in Xuanyuan's eyes.

"If you want to use my human race to rise, you have to see if my human race is willing," Xuanyuan said again afterward.

After receiving the Chiyou Tribe, Xuanyuan logically became the co-lord of the human race, but he knew that the great unification had not been completed, because there were still many "parasites" within the human race.

After becoming the co-lord of the human race, Xuanyuan immediately screened all the spies planted by other races in the human race and the tribesmen who had betrayed the human race.

After screening them clearly, the rest was easy to handle. Since they had turned away from the human race, then clean up the house.

Just as Xuanyuan was cleaning up the house, a person no less than the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors was born. This person was Cangjie.

It was precisely because Cangjie created characters that the human race had its inheritance. It could be said that Cangjie's contribution to the human race was even higher than that of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

But when Pan Huang learned of the tribe where Cangjie was born, he was stunned; Cangjie was actually born in the Jiuli Tribe.

"Is Cangjie a member of the Jiuli Tribe? He shouldn't be, right? It didn't seem to be mentioned in my previous life." After learning that Cangjie was born in the Jiuli Tribe, Pan Huang rubbed his chin and muttered to himself.

"It doesn't matter. The Jiuli Tribe is also part of the human race. It just so happens that Chiyou was defeated, and the Three Sovereigns were all pure humans; it seems the Jiuli Tribe didn't have any outstanding people at all. Since Cangjie was born in the Jiuli Tribe, then it is only right that this Jiuli Tribe should shine this time, which can further deepen the bond between the Jiuli Tribe and the human race," Pan Huang said with a smile.

Afterward, he called Yun Zhongzi to his side.

"You go to the Jiu Feng Tribe, find a person named Cangjie, and take him as your disciple. You don't need to teach him anything; you just need to teach him to observe—observe everything in the Primordial World," Pan Huang said to Yun Zhongzi.

Yun Zhongzi was a bit puzzled by Pan Huang's words but did not refute them. Every decision of his master had an extremely profound meaning; he just needed to execute it.

"Yes, Master!" Yun Zhongzi nodded.

"Next, only the Three Xiao sisters remain. Let Dayu be given to the Three Xiao sisters," Pan Huang said after Yun Zhongzi left.

Over here, Yun Zhongzi arrived at the Jiuli Tribe and soon found Cangjie. When he heard of Cangjie's deeds, Yun Zhongzi subconsciously thought that this Cangjie was absolutely extraordinary.

Because this Cangjie had actually been gestated for eighteen years, and when Cangjie was born, a very profound symbol had appeared in the tribe.

After hearing this, Yun Zhongzi immediately put Cangjie on par with the Three Sovereigns; Cangjie's future achievements would definitely surpass the Three Sovereigns.
