Chapter 1538: One Thousand One Hundred Eighteen: The Resolve of the Different Ones_2

Knowing full well that they were no match for their opponents, how could they dare to antagonize the Human Race? Previously, they were indifferent towards the Human Race because they knew that the Human Race would not truly harm them.

But now, from Jiang Chen’s actions, one could discern his attitude towards the different lineage.

Before even becoming the Human King, he had annihilated the Divine Race.

After becoming Human King, he had completely severed the interactions between the Human Race and the different lineage, canceling all the preferential policies that had been set up in the Ancestral Land before.

Afterward, Jiang Chen specifically targeted the different lineage, not concealing his disgust at all, showing a stance of relentless extinction until satisfaction was met.

Based on Jiang Chen’s attitude, after peace was restored in the Nine States, the leaders of the different lineage predicted that Jiang Chen’s next move would be to wipe out their lineage. To recapture the scattered Fate of the Human Race that once was.

After realizing that the Human Race was going to strike, the different lineage was thrown into complete panic.

In the current situation of the Prehistoric World, with countless races being suppressed by the Human Race, survival itself was uncertain, let alone caring for them.

The Human Race was too powerful, and the different lineage was far from being able to contend; even seeking protection from others was unattainable.

Those mighty beings they could turn to wouldn’t dare to offend the Human Race. Those who dared to do so, they couldn’t establish any relations with.

Seeing their situation becoming increasingly desperate, some of the different lineage’s masters really thought of a way out, which was to rejoin the Human Race.

As long as they returned to the Human Race and became part of it again, naturally, they wouldn’t have to worry about the Human King’s oppression.

Coincidentally, the Ancestral Land had once tested them, offering many favorable conditions to have them rejoin the Human Race.

But at that time, the different lineage was playing hard to get; they didn’t refuse, nor did they agree, just stringing along the Ancestral Land to reap benefits from them.

But that wasn’t feasible anymore. If they continued to string along, Jiang Chen would eliminate them first.

To survive, the different lineage could no longer afford to play hard to get and rushed to contact the Ancestral Land, wanting to confirm if the offer they made before about them rejoining the Human Race was still valid.

However, by the time they tried to contact the Ancestral Land, they found that the Ancestral Land had already been purged by Jiang Chen, and the people who had communicated with them were nowhere to be found.

Rejoining the Human Race was the only way for the different lineage to survive, and seeing this only path almost cut off, they couldn’t afford to hold their pride anymore.

They hastily convened a meeting in the Hall of Gods, inviting all members of the different lineage to discuss rejoining the Human Race.

Indeed, don’t look at the arrogance of each Taoist Master in the hall, but the purpose of their meeting here was to earnestly plead with the Human Race to let them return.

"Forget about the Jiuli clan, they are indeed different from us. Just considering the relationship between the Jiang Family and the Jiuli clan, the Human King might not even make a move against them."

Xuan Sovereign shook his head and spoke about the important matter:

"Everyone is aware of the current situation, the Human King regards us as a malignancy, always wanting to eliminate us, previously he did not act as he lacked the energy.

"And now, it won’t be long before he can spare the effort to target us. That will be our doom."

"Being enemies with the Human King, we certainly have no chance of winning, even the incarnations of Saints have perished at his hands; tying all of us together would still not be enough to face a single blow from the Human King."

"Therefore, the only solution now is, before the Human King becomes the Human Emperor and fully controls the Human Race, to rejoin the Human Race and establish this as a fact. This way, even if the Human King is dissatisfied with us, it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to make a move against us."

"At most, he would suppress us, but that’s still better than being exterminated."

At this point, there was nothing to hide anymore. Xuan Sovereign said everything he had to say, clearly analyzing the situation for everyone.

"Xuan Sovereign, we understand all that you’ve said. But the problem now is not whether we are unwilling to return to the Human Race; rather, it is whether the Human Race is willing to accept us."

The Heavenly Human Taoist Master let out a long sigh, fully aware of the situation described by Xuan Zun.

But, even if they knew, what could be done? Now, the choice was not in their hands, but rather in the hands of the other party; their lives and deaths were at the mercy of the other party’s whims.

Sigh...

Thinking of this, the Heavenly Human Taoist Master sighed deeply once again. Hundreds of years ago, the situation was not like this. It was the Human Race who begged them to return, offering various tempting conditions.

But now, just a few centuries later, the situation had completely reversed. Had they known earlier, they would have agreed when the Human Race promised numerous benefits, and they wouldn’t have faced their current predicament.

Sadly, it’s too late for regrets now.

"This is the purpose of our meeting this time; if one clan returns, the Human King might not be moved, but what if all of us present decide to return together?"

"When all our races unite, we will have five or six hundred Innate Taoist Masters. What a formidable force this is; I do not believe the Human King could remain indifferent."

"Moreover, after tens of millions of years of development, our fate, compared to when we left the Human Race, has strengthened more than tenfold. Combined, we are even more powerful than the strongest of the myriad races."

"Such a powerful fate, if integrated into the Human Race, could create yet another Greater Divine Transcendent and multiple Quasi-Saints."

"I do not believe that facing such significant benefits, the Human King could restrain himself from being moved."

The Giant Taoist Master said excitedly, their greater numbers gave them confidence.

Just the Giant Clan alone, in front of the Human King, indeed has little influence. But when all the different non-human races unite, even the Human Emperor must take them seriously.

These non-human forces, having parted from the Human Race due to having a common enemy, have been united over the long years. Especially when facing the Human Race, their unity is indistinguishable from a single race.

Because they know better than anyone that only by tightly sticking together will they be taken seriously by the Human Race; otherwise, as a mere non-human force, why would the Human Race care about them?

It’s just like the Divine Race, where the Human Race didn’t even need to deploy an Innate Dao Sovereign to eradicate them.

"Yes, united, even though we may not match the Human Race, Dragon Clan, Witch Clan, and those other top-tier clans, we are still the strongest among the next tier."

"Even if only for the grand scheme of things, the Human King cannot afford to overlook us; he must negotiate with us."

Perhaps the presence of many gave them courage, upon arriving at the Hall of Gods and seeing more and more peers around, the fear of Jiang Chen in these non-human Taoist Masters’ hearts subsided and was replaced by a tremendous confidence.

Now, they were so powerful that even the Five Elements Clan, known as the strongest of all races, could not compare to them.

Such a formidable force deciding to return to the Human Race, what reason would the Human King have to refuse?

Such an achievement could make him a prominent figure in the history of the Human Race and allow him to take a significant step toward the position of Human Emperor.

Not for anything else, but just for this enormous achievement, the Human King has no reason to refuse!

Thinking this way, their confidence grew even more, and then they heard Barbarian Sovereign say loudly:

"Unable to contact the people from the original Ancestral Land is not a problem; we can directly contact the Human King ourselves. It doesn’t matter if we lower our stance, or rather, the lower our stance, the more it flatters the Human King’s prestige, the more it will highlight his authority."

Not seeking intermediaries at this time instead shows sincerity, implying that the non-human lineage is completely out of fear of the Human King, thus compelled to surrender, fully displaying his supreme majesty that suppresses both heaven and earth.

"At such a moment, we shouldn’t care about losing face anymore. As much as possible, we should flatter the Human King and show a submissive posture, so he may grant us a way to live."

Xuan Zun also spoke up.

They were truly frightened by Jiang Chen, even more than they had ever been in the face of a Human Emperor.
