Chapter 1445: 964 Despair and Hope_2

Unfortunately, though they could have chosen to survive, they willingly embraced death to save more of their tribesmen, offering their precious lives for the Human Race.

As for their choice, their descendants have no right to judge but can only hold the utmost respect for them in their hearts because without their sacrifice, there would be no descendants today.

The descendants of today owe their existence to these heroes who died defending their tribe. Without their sacrifice, where would the descendants come from? Because of them, naturally, there is no right to judge them.

"Some trouble now."

"If this Ancient Human Race really resurrects, then the Human Race ascending to rival the Witch and Demon Clans will no longer be wishful thinking, but rather a very likely reality."

In this era, many Grand Divine Transcendents are frowning.

The essence of the Ancient Human Race died in battle, the blow to the Human Race goes without saying—it nearly left them devastated, almost severing their lineage.

It was their untimely fall that made the Grand Divine Transcendents between Heaven and Earth underestimate the Human Race, convinced that although the Human Race might surpass other races, it could never evolve into a power comparable to that of the Witch and Demon Clans.

How could a race, deprived of its essence, reach the pinnacle? Hence, although the Human Race appears strong, the Grand Divine Transcendents of the Chaos World still believe they can handle the Human Race.

But at this moment, the possibility of revival for the lost essence of the Human Race makes the situation uncontrollable.

If they all revive, the Human Race will certainly produce a mass of Innate Dao Venerables in the next ten thousand years.

This is no joke; the essence of the Human Race from the Ancient Era, each one exceptional among the prodigies and practiced in Ancient Martial Arts, possessing strength to compete with Innate Dao Monarchs and even Innate Dao Venerables from a young age.

Had they not died, not all, but at least one-third of them would have achieved enlightenment, stepping into the realm of the Innate Dao Venerable.

Now, in an era when the Human Race is at its zenith, this proportion could even increase astoundingly to one-half.

Innate Dao Venerables, cultivated through Ancient Martial Arts, have always been at the apex in terms of combat power within their realm, just like the Cycle Demon Gods among the Demon Clan and the Innate Great Witches among the Witch Clan, each possessing terrifying combat strength to fight against many.

Currently, the Human Race has one hundred and eight Ancient Dao Venerables, who are the backbone of the Human Race, the strongest among the Dao Venerables, whose presence alone makes many Quasi-Saints feel incredibly troubled.

If the essence of the Ancient Human Race revives and becomes Innate Dao Venerables, they would wield supreme power against those of the same level.

Just think about it; if the Human Race suddenly had thousands more Ancient Dao Venerables, saying that the Human Race could rival the Witch and Demon Clans wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

Thus, the concerns of these Grand Divine Transcendents are not without reason. In fact, if Mount Buzhou were still here, they’d be even more worried.

The strongest Ancient Dao Venerables are those who succeeded in climbing to the top of Mount Buzhou and attained enlightenment under the pressure of the Pangu Great God.

Such Ancient Dao Venerables have strength comparable to top-level Great Witches like Xing Tian and Da Yi, or the ten great demon gods of the Demon Clan.

Among the Human Race, such Ancient Dao Venerables are few, and besides Human Ancestor, there are only three others.

And these three have not perished; they are no longer merely Innate Dao Venerables but now possess the complete cultivation of Quasi-Saints, forming the foundation and backbone of the Human Race.

If Mount Buzhou still existed and the Human Race had a few more such Ancient Dao Venerables, those Grand Divine Transcendents bearing enmity against the Human Race would indeed be terrified and would try everything to prevent the revival of the essence of the Ancient Human Race.

...

"What a mistake, after this ordeal, it looks like it will be ever harder to compete with the rise of the Human Race."

"People all say Jiang Chen is formidable, but in my view, Jiang Chen is still no match for Human Ancestor. Just the opening of the Ancient Martial Arts alone is enough to elevate Human Ancestor to a status comparable to that of a Taoist Ancestor."

"The essence of the ancient Human Race is not frightening, but what is terrifying is the Ancient Martial Arts. Without the Ancient Martial Arts, even if their talents were excellent, it would take them one million years to rise."

"However, because of the existence of the Ancient Martial Arts, their rise was hastened by a hundredfold, a thousandfold, from one million years to tens of thousands of years, and even to just thousands of years."

"If the Human Race could rise, it all depended on the Ancient Martial Arts. Without this path, how could the Human Race rise in such a short time?"

"Ancestor of Humanity! The more one observes, the more one realizes how severely he was underestimated. His talent was extraordinarily against the heaven, even surpassing Taiyi. If he had enough time to grow, he could even surpass Di Jun Taiyi in the future."

"No wonder Di Jun, with his status at the time, had to personally take action against the Ancestor of Humanity. It seems he saw the threat the Ancestor posed, which is why he took matters into his own hands to nip the danger in the bud."

"Alas, I am still not as discerning as Di Jun. What he saw back then, I have only just come to understand now."

From beyond the heavens, amidst the Chaos, observing the changes Between Heaven and Earth, Jieyin Saint repeatedly sighed. Others only saw Jiang Chen’s defiance of heaven in actually altering the past, but he saw the terror in the Ancestor of Humanity.

Without the Ancient Martial Arts, how could the Human Race have grown to where they are today?

Genius only suggests that a person has the potential to become a powerful figure in the future; it does not guarantee it. Even the most talented geniuses need time to grow, and without growth, a genius is nothing.

Typically, it takes at least one million years for a genius to grow. Thus, those high beings rarely take notice of geniuses, as the time for growth is too long and too variable.

Throughout history, countless prodigies have emerged, but how many have truly grown?

However, the emergence of the Ancient Martial Arts changed everything. It shortened the time required for prodigies to grow, which is the most terrifying aspect.

If a person strives for a few thousand years, he could surpass the efforts of others over tens of thousands of years. Isn’t that exaggerated enough, terrifying enough?"

"Fortunately, the Ancestor was gravely injured by Di Jun, missing out on the golden phase of his life, only recovering in recent years. Otherwise, had he continued to grow from the Ancient Era, today he would at least be at a level comparable to ours."

Jieyin Saint silently thought that the human race failed to develop not because the Saints intentionally suppressed it, but because the Ancestor was seriously injured by Di Jun and had to fall into a deep slumber.

If he had been awake and personally experienced the Far Ancient and Ancient Times, then given the zenith of the Ancient Martial Arts and the Human Race at the time, it would have been easy to elevate him to the realm of Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial.

Moreover, was the decline of the Ancient Martial Arts really as simple as rumored?

Martial practitioners long for eternal life, which led to the decline of the once flourishing Ancient Era, not to prevent the prosperity of the Ancient Martial Arts from nurturing the Ancestor and enabling his premature revival.

The Ancestor, though an ancestor, does not completely belong to the human race, but the Ancient Martial Arts is different; it is a system he created. If it had been overly prosperous, it would have brought him immeasurable benefits.

Who can guarantee that the decline of the Ancient Martial Arts back then wasn’t caused by some Saints deliberately suppressing the Ancestor on purpose?

The talent of the Ancestor felt so threatening to Di Jun that he personally took action to kill him. Similarly, the Saints, feeling threatened by the Ancestor, secretly suppressing him isn’t hard to understand.

...

...

The fallen ancient Human Race resurrected from the silence, and those strong beings coming from the future traveled through vast time and space, successfully arriving at the beginning of Heaven and Earth.

The Chaos World had just formed, the Pangu Great God had fallen, his body transforming into all things in Heaven and Earth, and they arrived in this era.

They wanted to change their own destiny, occupy the Original Sources corresponding to themselves, transform their followings into inherently born sanctity, thereby making their future selves stronger, also occupying a greater weight Between Heaven and Earth.
