Chapter 1202: 840 Human Race divided, started by my hand

"Very well, you dare to inform against me, eh!"

"Issue my royal decree, order the Jiang Family experts to quickly head to the Ancestral Land and take over all power. Moreover, anyone who goes to the Ancestral Land to accuse me, regardless of their reasons, shall be killed without mercy!"

"Should there be any who resist, treat them as rebels, and exterminate their clan!"

"Within the Ancestral Land, if anyone shelters them, or pleads or cries out on their behalf, they shall be deemed equally guilty and shall be killed alongside them."

Jiang Chen did not heed the Temple Master of the Martial Hall or the Temple Master of the Law Hall. Instead, he crossed the vast expanse and directly commanded from the Sun Temple within the Sun Star for the Jiang Family experts to head to the Ancestral Land and temporarily take control.

The Human King is the ruler of the Human Race when the Human Emperor is not present, and who manages the Ancestral Land is at the Human King’s sole discretion. Therefore, Jiang Chen’s appointment was flawless.

"We will heed Your Majesty’s decree!"

In the Sun Temple, there were experts at the level of Innate Dao Sovereigns who, the moment they understood the sequence of events, did not waste words and directly accepted the decree and exited the Sun Temple.

In a moment, under the leadership of an Innate Dao Sovereign, dozens of Innate Dao Monarchs and even hundreds of Great Luo Golden Immortals exited the Sun Temple, marching majestically toward the Ancestral Land.

As for those Jiang Chen ordered to be killed, they did not care in the slightest. In their view, those people who did not submit to the Human King’s discipline were troublemakers, insurgents, and criminals. Killing them was a matter of course, and nothing to regret.

If those troublemakers disrespected the Human King today, who’s to say they wouldn’t disrespect the Human Emperor tomorrow, and what would they aim for the day after? The high experts of the Jiang Family hardly dared to consider the implications.

It can only be said that, due to the environment in which the two parties find themselves, there is a cognitive difference. The high experts of the Jiang Family are figures from the Distant Ancient Era. To them, the Human King ruling the Human Race is a matter of course, for that is how things were in their time.

However, the world’s families of the Human Race nowadays, having not seen a Human King for one million years, had never been ruled over by one. Their understanding of the Human King comes only from legends, thus they lack the requisite reverence and regard him with indifference.

This has led to them covertly disobeying, even outright disregarding Jiang Chen’s orders.

Therefore, these world’s families, feeling wronged, thought to go to the Ancestral Land to accuse Jiang Chen, displaying their lack of reverence for the Human King and their misunderstanding of his authority.

Those who truly understand the power of the Human King would not go to the Ancestral Land to make their accusations against Jiang Chen but to Fire Cloud Cave instead.

What place is the Ancestral Land? It is the domain of the Human King, where in theory, the Human Race resides and rules over all.

To go to the Ancestral Land to accuse Jiang Chen is like going to Jiang Chen to accuse Jiang Chen. Winning such an accusation would be absurd.

...

...

While the Jiang Family experts were en route to the Ancestral Land, in Beijulu Continent, Hou Yi, who was in seclusion, suddenly opened his eyes. His figure flickered, vanished from the spot, and when he reappeared, he was already in the Ancestral Land.

Hou Yi, originally named Jiang Yi and also a member of the Jiang Family, had evidently gone to the Ancestral Land to show support for Jiang Chen.

As for why he, a main proponent of the Human Race’s militarist faction, could ignore the edicts of the Mystic Sect and freely interfere in the affairs of the Human Race, it can only be said that having a strong backing allows for audacity.

What can the Mystic Sect do if they disapprove? Would they dare make a move against Hou Yi?

They surely wouldn’t think that Mother Earth was made of clay, would they? If any of the Mystic Sect’s Great Divine Transcendents dared to lay a hand on Hou Yi, then Mother Earth could ensure that they never see another sunrise.

Hou Yi could be regarded as the most free individual in the Human Race—whatever he wants to do, he does.

...

...

"Jiang Chen, have you gone mad?"

"Do you realize how many people have gone to the Ancestral Land to accuse you?"

"Do you understand the depth of the ties between those accusing you and the various clans of the Ancestral Land? If you were to act against them, the clans would undoubtedly rise up..."

"You truly are mad to want to slaughter them all. Even as the Human King, you cannot do such a thing; you don’t have the authority."

"Tyrant, tyrant!"

"Such brutality is appalling. Jiang Chen, your actions can be described as the most tyrannical in the Human Race since its inception."

When the Temple Master of the Law Hall and the Temple Master of the Martial Hall heard Jiang Chen’s orders, they were also shocked and pointedly accused him loudly.

To tell the truth, neither of them had expected Jiang Chen to be so deranged. According to his intent, wasn’t he planning on wiping out anyone in the Human Race who opposed him?

This was not just arrogance but madness.

Due to Jiang Chen’s extreme youth and ruthless methods, there were too many within the Human Race dissatisfied with him. Should they all be killed, the entire Human Race would tremble, and a dramatic change might even occur.

This was more than audacity—it was reckless and arbitrary!

While the scene unfolding before them was exactly what the Temple Master of the Law Hall and the Temple Master of the Martial Hall hoped to see—after all, the madder Jiang Chen appeared, the more correct they seemed—once they witnessed the extent of Jiang Chen’s madness, they were still taken aback. It was too outrageous, far beyond their expectations.

If Jiang Chen continued like this, they feared that without their doing anything, the Human Race might potentially fracture from within.

Of course, in such a scenario, if they were to add fuel to the fire, the possible split within the Human Race could well become a reality.

"Jiang Chen, you truly are mad. You’ve become so engrossed in your own power and position that you no longer care for the well-being of our clan, and it’s even impacting the overall situation."
