Chapter 1557: One Thousand and Twenty-Eight Aliens Return

Jiang Chen has too many enemies, with the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign and the Saint of Taiqing being the foremost among the Saints, not to mention the numerous Great Divine Transcendents.

Taking this into account, Zhen Yuanzi couldn’t help feeling that if he were to face Jiang Chen, the chances of victory would be significant.

"Because of his avatar’s fall, the Saint of Taiqing was extremely furious and has already decided to join forces with those Great Divine Transcendents scheming against the Human Race to target Jiang Chen together," said Zhen Yuanzi.

"This is an opportunity for me. It’s the perfect time to ally with them and completely eliminate the threat of Jiang Chen," he thought.

Reflecting on recent events, Zhen Yuanzi mulled over the idea and felt it was time to join forces.

The Human Race was powerful, and the Star Lord was not weak, but it was doubtful whether that group of Great Divine Transcendents could control the Human Race, even with the help of the Saint of Taiqing. If it really came to a fight, it was still uncertain who would emerge victorious.

However, as long as they made a move, and these Great Divine Transcendents involved in the creation of the Immortal World banded together with them against the Human Race, the general situation would essentially be settled.

If the three forces joined hands, they would immediately become the strongest power in the Prehistoric World, and even if the Witch and Demon Clans returned to their peak, they would not be their match.

With such strength, defeating the Human Race and forcing the Star Lord to be confined to the Boundless Starry Sky was all too easy.

Thinking this, Zhen Yuanzi started to take action, beginning to contact friends and discuss allying with the Saint of Taiqing and others to jointly contend with the Human Race.

...

......

While Zhen Yuanzi was in action, the Martial Sovereign was also making moves.

After departing from the Hall of Gods, the Martial Sovereign, leading a group of experts from the alliance of alien races, traveled millions of miles to arrive near Shouyang Mountain.

Here, they would hold a ritual for the return of the lineage of the alien races to the Human Race.

The choice of Shouyang Mountain for this occasion was because this place held extraordinary significance for the Human Race, especially those loyal to the Mystic Sect.

In reality, the Human Race actually has two Ancestral Lands. One is the habitat of the Great Ancient Human Race, which is now the Ancestral Land of the Human Race by the Eastern Sea. The other is the cradle of the ancient Human Race—Shouyang Mountain.

Empress Nuwa created the Human Race by molding clay figures at the base of Mount Buzhou. After the birth of the Human Race, considering the immense dangers of Mount Buzhou, she sent them to the materially abundant shores of the Eastern Sea to thrive and multiply.

Latterly, at the end of the Great Ancient era, the Demon Clan ruthlessly launched a massacre of the humans to forge the Divine Artifact Witch Slaying Sword. At that time, the Human Race was far from being a match for the Demon Clan, and to save themselves, the surviving humans sought protection at the Taoist Fields of the Great Divine Transcendents.

The largest group among them was sheltered by the Saint of Taiqing and resided on Shouyang Mountain. The Human Race of later generations are mostly descendants of these people.

It can be said that the lineage of the humans from Shouyang Mountain accounts for at least eighty percent of the current Human Race population. It’s not unreasonable to call Shouyang Mountain the Ancestral Land of the Human Race.

Of course, that being said, ever since the Human Race fell out with the Saint of Taiqing, they have never recognized Shouyang Mountain as their Ancestral Land.

However, it is one thing for the official stance of the Human Race not to acknowledge it, but for some people who insist on recognizing Shouyang Mountain as their Ancestral Land, that is another matter altogether.

But no matter what, the fact that Shouyang Mountain is the second cradle of the Human Race gives it exceptional significance.

In the current situation, the Human Race Ancestral Land is obviously not welcoming to the Martial Sovereign and the experts of the alien race lineage. Therefore, they naturally opt to hold their return ceremony at Shouyang Mountain.

Setting aside the significance of Shouyang Mountain to the Human Race, merely the fact that it is the Taoist Field of the Saint of Taiqing is sufficient reason in itself.

With the Saint of Taiqing as a witness, the return of the alien race lineage to the Human Race would immensely boost the Fate of the Human Race. Wouldn’t this further highlight the position of the Saint of Taiqing amongst the Human Race?

If the Saint of Taiqing were to then confer the title of Human King, it would be even more remarkable, effectively elevating the Saint of Taiqing’s status among the Human Race to a level comparable to Empress Nuwa and the Primordial Ancestor.

Since the birth of the Human Race, the imperial power has always been granted by Heaven, not by gods, and certainly not by immortals.

Whether it’s the Human King or the Human Emperor, they must first gain the recognition of the Fate of the Human Race, then the approval of the Heavenly Dao, before they can ascend to the throne and wield the great power to command Heaven and Earth.

It’s precisely because the power is bestowed by Heaven that the Human King and Human Emperor hold such supreme status. Even though the Saints are ranked above the Human King and Emperor, what of it? They do not have the authority to command them.

The Human King and Emperor are only accountable to the Human Race and to Heaven and Earth, not to the Saints, because their power stems from the Human Race and Heaven and Earth, not from the Saints.

Respect you, and you are a Saint.

Do not respect you, and you are nothing.

Conversely, if the Human King and Emperor were anointed by a Saint, the situation would be entirely different.

The power would not come from Heaven and Earth but originate from the Saints. Wouldn’t that mean the Human King has submitted to the Saints and must accept their jurisdiction?

Power fought for by oneself is completely one’s own. Power bestowed by others is not entirely yours. If others can give you power, they can also take it back.

Being under someone’s control is exactly that!

Should the Human King submit to a Saint, the implications would be terribly adverse, essentially handing over the highest administrative rights of the Human Race. The governance would shift from self-rule to being ruled by Saints.

In simple terms, in the past, although the Saints held very high status, they lacked the authority to intervene in Human Race affairs, serving as deities enshrined and revered, with symbolic greater than substantive meaning.

However, once the Human King submits to a Saint, the Saint would gain the authority to interfere in Human Race affairs. When the deity descends from the altar, wouldn’t the impact be significant?
