Chapter 1228: 854 Hou Yi Falls (Request for Monthly Votes)

The strongest imperial and royal families took the lead in leaving, which shows that the Human Emperor really treated everyone equally, without discrimination.

Seeing this, what else could the other powers say? Naturally, they followed them and relocated as well.

Most Ancient clans did the same, but some clans were exceptions, especially some of the very ancient clans, which shamelessly relied on their seniority to stubbornly stay in the Ancestral Land.

The Human Emperor could do nothing, nor was it appropriate to expel them forcibly, leading to the situation where other clans had left the Ancestral Land, but they did not. These clans are now the indigenous people within the Ancestral Land.

Therefore, when Jiang Chen mentioned this old matter, they immediately fell silent.

According to the command of the Human Emperor, as soon as the Nanbuzhan Continent was initially established, they should have left the Ancestral Land. Yet, they delayed their relocation, clinging to the Ancestral Land for hundreds of thousands of years.

Jiang Chen’s order to make them leave now was already extremely generous, otherwise, sending troops to expel them would also have been justified, and even supported by many forces.

Did they really think that the clans who moved away harbored no resentment after so many years?

Of course, they did. It can be said that, aside from not being oppressed in the Ancestral Land, wherever else they went, they were suppressed by all the major clans. Often, the most dangerous tasks were first assigned to the people of the Ancestral Land.

Even so, under the full suppression of the other clans, the Ancestral Land Human Race, thanks to the fertile cultivation environment of the Ancestral Land, not only did their strength not decline, but it grew even stronger.

Occupying the Ancestral Land was the biggest advantage of the Ancestral Land Human Race.

"Your Majesty, now in the Nanbuzhan Continent, all the Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands already have owners. Now that you are asking us to move out of the Ancestral Land, where can we move to?"

"In such a vast Nanbuzhan Continent, is there still a place for us?"

Someone gritted their teeth and asked Jiang Chen.

"This is your own doing, whom can you blame? Back when there were so many Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands to choose from, you were asked to move but you refused, insisting on staying in the Ancestral Land."

"Now that all the good places are taken, whom can you blame? Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands are coveted by others if you don’t want them."

Jiang Chen spoke with an unhappy tone, rebuking them.

They spoke as if Jiang Chen had acted unreasonably, but in reality, the predicaments faced by the Ancestral Land Human Race were brought on by themselves.

When the Nanbuzhan Continent was first born, there were countless Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands; Empress Nuwa even took out her treasures to enhance the Original Source of the Nanbuzhan Continent.

At that time, no one worried about a shortage of Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands, only that there might not be enough clans of the Human Race.

Unfortunately, even with numerous Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands, as the Human Race gradually expanded in power, they weren’t enough anymore. Long ago, the Nanbuzhan Continent ran out of available Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands, let alone now.

It can only be said that the Ancestral Land Human Race missed the best opportunity, and now it is virtually impossible for them to find a new Cave Heaven and Blessed Land; they have to create it themselves.

Of course, if they wait a little longer, with the revival of the Nine States Dragon Veins, new Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands will surely emerge, and that will be the opportunity for the Ancestral Land Human Race.

Although Jiang Chen disliked the Ancestral Land Human Race, he could not deny their contributions; over the years, they indeed made countless merits for the Human Race. It wasn’t too much to move them out of the Ancestral Land, but to make them homeless, exposed to the elements—that would be unjust.

At that time, while the Fire Cloud Cave might not have rebuked Jiang Chen, handing out a few Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands would have been embarrassing enough for him.

"A great change in the Nine States is imminent. You all traveling around might just lead to new discoveries."

Considering their past merits, Jiang Chen added this last remark, giving them a hint as well.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that Jiang Chen had spoken to this extent, the experts of the Ancestral Land Human Race knew his mind was made up, and it could not be changed, leaving them no choice but to accept their fate.

This was such a matter that even if they wanted to take it to court, they would find no place to do so, and no one would take their side. If someone then remarked that others could move out, why couldn’t they, they would indeed be utterly shamed.

"Your Majesty, is there anything else? If not, we shall take our leave. After all, moving out of the Ancestral Land is not a trivial matter; perhaps it needs to be well discussed."

After waiting half a day without Jiang Chen continuing, someone finally couldn’t help but speak.

For ordinary people, moving house takes at most a few days, but for them, although Jiang Chen gave them ten years, it was still too rushed.

Just packing up and moving out of various secret territories would take several years, let alone finding new Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands outside. Such tasks were not possible within ten years; finding one within a hundred years would already be considered lucky.

With bad luck, it could take a thousand years, or even ten thousand.

The time was tight, so it was natural for these people to start acting quickly.

"Do not rush, more people are coming soon, and after everyone arrives, I have a major announcement to make,"

Jiang Chen shook his head and did not allow the Ancestral Land Human Race to leave but asked them to stay and wait.

His visit to the Ancestral Land was intended for the offensive against the Nine Clans, and dealing with those families and relocating the Ancestral Land Human Race were just incidental matters. The attack on the Nine Clans, that was the major issue.
