Chapter 1223: 851 Tyrant Jiang Chen_2

In any race, reproduction is the most important aspect. They possess the power to procreate; naturally, their say carries more weight.

Otherwise, if all members of the Human Race were to cease to bear children and fail in their duty to reproduce, where would the strength of the Human Race come from today?

Being able to produce offspring is an advantage!

From the discussions of these Quasi-Saints, it was not difficult to discern their sentiment: they weren’t particularly fond of those so-called descendants.

In reality, this was quite normal. Having lived for such an extended period of time, outside of their direct kin, what difference was there between other descendants and strangers?

Or to put it another way, the entire Human Race was their progeny. Could they possibly take care of everyone? Of course not. Aside from their immediate family, they treated all others impartially.

"Alright, you are all grown up, no more bickering. Let’s just quietly watch," one said.

"From the brief interaction we’ve had, I’ve come to understand that our new Human King has an incredibly dominant personality, not swayed by neither soft nor hard approaches."

"With such a disposition, once he returns to the Ancestral Land, he’s bound to clash with those noble families. I fear in the coming time, our Human Race will be shrouded in bloodshed," another voiced their concern.

Saint Cang Jie scolded the crowd, urging them to be quiet. Yet, his gaze towards the Human Ancestral Land inevitably carried a trace of worry.

He knew full well that Jiang Chen’s visit to the Human Ancestral Land would surely result in a great slaughter. But he could not prevent it, for he understood even more clearly that what Jiang Chen was doing was right.

"It is all my fault!"

Foreseeing this scene made Cang Jie’s heart heavy with discomfort.

As the Great Saint tasked with the moral education of the Human Race, he felt that the mistakes of his kin were due to his failure to instruct them properly. It was his teachings that were flawed, leading to issues within the race, a source of constant guilt within him.

This was Cang Jie’s dilemma, as well as one of the main reasons he was unable to break through and become a Great Divine Transcendent. With an incomplete state of mind, how could one make a breakthrough?

Jiang Chen was unaware of Cang Jie’s quandary; had he known, he would surely have laughed out loud.

Cang Jie was simply overthinking the issue. It was not just the Human Race’s teachings that were at fault, but the teachings throughout the entire Prehistoric World. The root of the problem lay with the Saint of Taiqing.

The Saint of Taiqing was the one responsible for the teachings of the Prehistoric World, and though he was supposed to be impartial, he frequently favored the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign. As the saying goes, "As above, so below." With his bias, how could the morals of the Prehistoric World not be corrupted?

Cang Jie should learn from the Saint of Taiqing. Just look, with the morals of the Prehistoric World so degraded, does the saint responsible feel the slightest remorse? Clearly not.

"Great governance follows great chaos. To restore the glory of the Human Race, how could we do without a great war? Even the Human King did the same. Without the Deer Hunt War of old, how would the prosperous era of the Human Race have followed?"

"For the great rise of the Human Race, let there be slaughter!"

The Quasi-Saints present, or rather, those whose hearts were still with the Human Race, supported Jiang Chen’s actions. They even yearned more strongly than Jiang Chen himself for the Human Race to thrive.

To become Great Divine Transcendents, resources alone were insufficient; one also needed Fate.

Nowadays, with too many masters among the Human Race, there wasn’t enough surplus Fate to enable these masters to break through. Otherwise, the Human Race wouldn’t have only produced a single powerful being like Jiang Chen since ancient times.

The First Emperor doesn’t count; he was the reincarnation of Da Yu!

Where could these Human Quasi-Saints obtain the necessary Fate to break through? Hence, the Human Race must prosper. Only with its flourishing could they gather enough Fate to enable their breakthrough.

Even if it were just for the sake of becoming stronger, their interests aligned with Jiang Chen’s. Therefore, they would surely stand by Jiang Chen, supporting him with all their might.

It was for the Human Race as much as it was for themselves.

"Let’s just wait and see for now!"

Saint Cang Jie shook his head and ceased to speak, merely gazing towards the direction of the Human Ancestral Land.

...

...

With incredible speed, Jiang Chen had traversed from the Light Realm back to the Human Ancestral Land in just a few breaths’ time.

However, after returning to the Ancestral Land, Jiang Chen’s face betrayed no joy. Instead, it was filled with solemn darkness, as the scene before him caused his expression to turn exceedingly grim.

War!

The once sacred and serene Ancestral Land was now engulfed in warfare, its hallowed tranquility shattered by aggressive auras and the violent air of arms.

Some were besieging the Sun God Guards!

Those Innate Dao Sovereigns from within the Sun Temple seemed to have disappeared, and the great army they had brought, the Sun God Guards, were now surrounded by all manners of people who had formed a Pure Yang formation to resist their assault.

With just a glance, Jiang Chen realized that the Sun God Guards were not fighting at full strength, their most powerful techniques were not being employed, and that was why they were being besieged.

As for why they hadn’t used their strongest techniques, Jiang Chen had a clear understanding in his heart.

The most formidable technique of the Sun God Guards was a formation known as the Ten Suns Scorching Heavens Great Formation. Just from the name, it was evident that it was a formation created in reference to the scene in the Great Ancient Era when the Ten Golden Crows brought chaos to the Prehistoric World.

Once this formation was activated, it would instantly resonate with the Sun Star, gaining its empowerment and evolving ten suns to display their immense power of heaven-scorching earth-obliterating might.

This technique was devastatingly powerful, causing severe environmental damage and could turn Heaven and Earth into a wasteland. In any other place, they could just use it, but this was the ancestral land of the Human Race, where every grass and every tree held immense value. How could they allow it to turn to ash?

With such concerns in mind, the Sun God Guards naturally did not dare to unleash their full strength. However, although they were hesitant, their opponents certainly were not.

Indeed, every strike was ferocious, without the slightest hint of restraint. Obviously, they were intent on driving the Sun God Guards to their demise.

"Are you trying to start a rebellion?"

At that moment, Jiang Chen’s anger hit its peak. The Sun God Guards were akin to his personal guard, and these people dared to besiege them. It couldn’t just be described as audaciousness; wasn’t this effectively a rebellion?

This behavior was essentially an actual rebellion.

"The tyrant has arrived!"

"The inept king has returned."

"Go, let’s attack together and capture this inept king, to avenge our fallen kin."

Seeing Jiang Chen return, these people showed no fear. On the contrary, emboldened by their greater numbers, they shouted accusations of ’inept king,’ ’tyrant,’ and charged at him.

"Jiang Chen, you tyrant, you inept king, you are the reincarnation of King Jie of Xia and King Zhou of Shang, yet your cruelty surpasses them."

"How can someone as brutal as you to our kin be worthy to ascend to the throne of the Human King?"

"Today, we will join forces to capture you, impose the ultimate punishment, and appease the spirits of those kinsmen you have slaughtered."

These people had reached the pinnacle of arrogance, placing Jiang Chen in a position even more tyrannical than King Jie of Xia and King Zhou of Shang, which was tantamount to the greatest insult one could bestow upon a king.

Was Jiang Chen really that cruel? It can only be said that throughout history, those who did strike at the noble clans: the successful ones are hailed as the emperors of ages, the sage among sages. The unsuccessful, naturally, become the inept kings among inept kings, comparable to the likes of King Jie and King Zhou.

Now, as Jiang Chen took action against the noble clans, he was naturally seen by them as the inept king amongst inept kings, more tyrannical than King Jie and King Zhou.

After all, even if those two were tyrannical, they never struck at the noble clans, but Jiang Chen had actually done so. Wasn’t that even more cruel?

"Tyrant, die..."

Suddenly, at that moment, everything in Heaven and Earth seemed to hit a pause button; all things came to a standstill, including the people charging towards Jiang Chen. They maintained their charging posture, but they were somehow immobilized.

Originally, Jiang Chen had intended to kill them outright, but after some thought, he felt that simply killing them would let them off too easily.

Therefore, he spared their lives and immobilized them on the spot.

"Summon my men, take them all down, and then identify them. Drag out their entire families, regardless of age or sex."

With a wave of his hand, Jiang Chen ordered the freed Sun God Guards to step forward and seize everyone.
