Chapter 1537: One Thousand One Hundred Eighteen: The Resolve of the Different Ones

In this place, there are more than three hundred Innate Taoist Masters. This does not mean that the total number of Innate Taoist Masters in the entire alliance of different races adds up to only three hundred—there are definitely more.

After all, there’s no rule that a race of different beings can only have one Innate Taoist Master. It’s entirely possible to have two or even three.

And among the nine strongest forces of different races, there are even Quasi-Saint powerhouses in place. It must be said that after separating from the Human Race, many forces of different beings have developed well and have become regional hegemons.

If they were not born in the Prehistoric World but in the Great Thousand Worlds, they would be entirely capable of dominating an area.

"All those who could come have arrived; those who couldn’t, won’t come here no matter what."

Next to the young man as flawless as jade, a brawny middle-aged man spoke in a muffled voice.

This was a Taoist Master from the Barbarian Race, a descendant of the Human Race and the Barbarian Race. The young man, flawless as jade, was a descendant of the Celestial Race and the Human Race.

The nine major powers of different races are mostly related to the ten strongest races among the myriad tribes.

After all, just like the myriad races, the lineages of different beings place great importance on bloodlines. The stronger the bloodline, the higher the potential achievements.

Therefore, those forces of different beings that have risen have exceptionally strong bloodlines.

"Is the Jiuli lineage still unwilling to help?"

"In the past, they were unwilling to cooperate with us, and that was that. But nowadays, the contemporary Human King is so domineering and quite hostile towards us. If things go as expected, he will eventually wage war against us."

"With our current strength, fighting alone, we absolutely cannot contend with him. Only by uniting can we have the qualification to negotiate with him."

"The general trend dictates, united we thrive, divided we die. The Jiuli tribe should be able to see this; so why do they still refuse to cooperate with us?"

The Mystic Human Tribe’s Innate Taoist Master furrowed his brows and asked with confusion.

Xuanzun, the Taoist Master of the Mystic Human Tribe — "Xuan" signifies Tao and using "Xuan" as the clan name reflects the height of their progenitor’s aspirations.

Although most of the nine major powers of different races are related to the ten strongest tribes of the myriad races, ultimately, there are a few that are unrelated.

Take the Mystic Human Tribe, for instance. Their progenitor had a great opportunity in his youth; during the destruction of Heaven and Earth, he accidentally swallowed a wisp of the Original Source of Tao that had fallen from the core of Heaven and Earth. As a result, he underwent a radical transformation and evolved the Mystic Human Tribe.

Being the source of their bloodline themselves, the ancient progenitor of the Mystic Human Tribe, many years ago, grasped the highest truth of Innate essence and metamorphosed into an Innate Divine Demon.

"Obviously, it’s because they look down on us. As subordinates of the Main God Chiyou, the Jiuli tribe is different from us ’traitors.’ They have no shame towards the Human Race and don’t need to worry about being held accountable by the Human Race."

"Moreover, precisely because of this, they, who always consider themselves superior, have little regard for us ’traitors’."

The tallest figure among those present, an Innate Taoist Master born from the Giant Race, spoke sarcastically.

"Hmph!"

"Nothing but a bunch of losers, what’s there to be proud of!"

There seemed to be many in the alliance of different beings who were dissatisfied with the Jiuli tribe. As the Giant Taoist Master’s voice fell, several cold snorts immediately rang out, filled with dissatisfaction in their gazes.

The Jiuli tribe refers to the followers of Chiyou from back in the day, who in the Distant Ancient Era, contended for supremacy of the world alongside Chiyou against Xuanyuan, the Human Emperor. These were the eighty-one brothers of Chiyou mentioned in later legends.

An old saying goes:

Chiyou had eighty-one brothers who had the bodies of beasts and spoke human language, with copper heads and iron foreheads. They ate sand and pebbles and forged weapons and bows, their might shook Heaven and Earth, executing the unjust, lacking kindness and mercy.

From this description, one can tell that they too were preternatural beings, descendants of the Human Race and outside tribes.

Saying they were eighty-one brothers, in fact, meant they were the leaders of eighty-one clans. Together with Chiyou, they formed the strongest tribe of the Human Race back then, the Jiuli Tribe.

When Chiyou was defeated by Xuanyuan, the Human Emperor, and was dismembered and suppressed, among his eighty-one brothers, those who died in the battle had their descendants merge into the Flame Yellow Tribe, no longer distinguishing themselves from each other.

And those brothers who didn’t die in battle, out of dissatisfaction with Xuanyuan, the Human Emperor’s rule, indignantly left the Human Race to settle elsewhere.

The Jiuli tribe mentioned by the alliance of different beings refers to them.

As early as the Distant Ancient Era, Chiyou’s brothers were already at the Dao Venerable Realm and were extremely powerful Great Ancient Dao Sovereigns.

Today, although it is unknown whether they have broken through to the Quasi-Saint realm, they have certainly established themselves at the pinnacle of the Dao Venerable Realm, being some of the rare experts in the Three Realms.

If they could cooperate with them, the strength of the alliance of different beings would undoubtedly climb to another level, thus possessing equal rights to converse with the Human King.

Of course, if they could establish contact through the Jiuli tribe with the Witch Clan standing behind them, that would be even better.

The Jiuli tribe, not only powerful by themselves but also with an incredibly powerful backing, are descendants of the Witch Clan and the Human Race.

The Witch Clan’s lineage can be said to be the strongest branch of the Human Race. Just think about it—if they weren’t strong, how would Chiyou be able to contend with Xuanyuan, the Human Emperor, for the position of Human King?

"What a pity!"

Hearing that the Jiuli tribe refused to cooperate with them, Xuanzun’s face was filled with disappointment.

Insiders know their own affairs; as one of the high-ranking members of the alliance of different beings, he is clearer than anyone about the gap between them and the Human Race—it is like comparing the light of a firefly to the sun and the moon, without any comparability at all.

Therefore, upon sensing that Jiang Chen might take action against them, many forces from the alliance of different beings have panicked, looking for ways to ease their relationship with the Human Race. Some are even contemplating rejoining the Human Race.
