Chapter 882: 676 Human King

"Dealing with such people is actually very simple. You just ignore him, focusing on your own matters. As such, he naturally will have no way to deal with you."

"What else can he do? Does he dare to make a move? If he initiates an attack, that’s actually better. Just kill him directly under the accusation of attempting to split the Human Race."

Jiang Chen was dismissive, looking down on the Law Palace’s master and his ilk. These people only knew how to be tyrants within their own cliques. As long as you were more domineering than they were, you could naturally suppress them.

If not for this, they wouldn’t have been suppressed by the faction advocating war for countless years, only daring to emerge and cause trouble after the latter had lost power.

"The Hideaway Faction excels at oppressing others with the general trend, advocating the importance of the overall situation," said the senior member of the Human Race, shaking his head as he continued.

"Bullshit overall situation. If they really valued the overall situation, they wouldn’t have overturned all the strategies set by the faction advocating war back then. In their eyes, there’s only their own overall situation, not that of the Human Race."

"Talking about the overall situation with them means you’ve lost from the start, falling into their trap."

"Treat them as air, as if they don’t exist. As for their words, they’re like farting in the wind. When there’s something to be done, go to Fire Cloud Cave. When there’s nothing, curse at them a bit. That’s the best way to deal with them."

Jiang Chen shook his head, feeling that the faction advocating war had been too merciful back then. If he had been the leader of the faction advocating war, he would certainly have found a way to eliminate the leader of the Hideaway Faction before losing power.

Afterward, during the struggle against the Hideaway Faction, the Human Race’s strong had been far too weak.

This is a world where gods and immortals appear, where individual strength trumps all else. If you’re dissatisfied with them, then don’t listen to them. Do as you please. As long as your strength is sufficient, what can they do to you?

The powerful of the Human Race were just too mindful of rules. If you step outside these rules, there are plenty of ways to deal with them.

"What you say makes sense, but unfortunately, now that the Hideaway Faction controls the Human Race’s power, it’s unlikely that you will be able to borrow strength from the Human Race for your campaign against the Demon Clan."

After some thought, the senior Human Race member felt that Jiang Chen made a lot of sense, yet he also pointed out an extremely realistic problem. Jiang Chen had now offended the ruling faction of the Human Race, fearful that it would be difficult to gain the support of the upper echelons of the Human Race.

"Can the mere Law Palace represent the Human Race? Who do they think they are? The only reason they dare to pose as the rulers of the Human Race is because the Human King has been absent for years, leading the power of the Human Race to fall into other hands, giving them the chance to meddle with the authority of the Human Race."

"With no tiger in the mountains, the monkey is called the king."

"Once the Human King appears, he can immediately take back the power from their hands and beat them back into their original forms. Without the recognition of the will of the Human Race, what kind of rulers of the Human Race are they?"

"In front of the Human King, other than being a little more powerful, they are no different from any ordinary member of the Human Race."

Jiang Chen wasn’t afraid of the Hideaway Faction at all, because he aspired to be the Emperor of Mankind. As long as he became the Human King, he could easily strip them of their powers. If he successfully ascended to the throne and attained the sacred position of the Human Emperor, then he would even have the easy ability to execute them.

In the structure of Human Race’s power, the Human Emperor is the foundation, and when the Human Emperor is absent, the Human King is the foundation.

As for the various palaces of the Human Race, without the banner of waiting for the Human King to govern, they simply have no right to meddle with the power of the Human Race. From the beginning, the power of the palaces of the Human Race was derived from the Human King. As such, the Human King naturally has the right to take back their authority.

"The Human Race hasn’t seen a king rise for too long, so much so that all the races have forgotten the methods of our race. If this is the case, then let me awaken their forgotten memories, reminding them of the terror of the Human Race."

"The upcoming battle for the Beijulu Continent will be my coronation battle. After this battle, I will be the Human King, the sovereign of the Human Race respected by all races, officially embarking on my path to kingship."

With fire burning in his eyes, Jiang Chen declared his intention to fight to prove himself as the Human King, initiating his path to kingship.

"Alas, you..."

The senior Human Race member sighed, truly unwilling for Jiang Chen to walk this path. Becoming the Human King was one thing, but the path to becoming the Human Emperor was a dead end.

Boom!

As Jiang Chen’s voice fell, the fate of the Human Race shook thunderously. The disarrayed fate appeared together, shimmering over the River of Destiny, showing a trend of converging into a single mass.

It was a sign that the Human King was about to emerge. The emergence of the Human King indicated that the Human Race, fragmented among various factions, would see the emergence of a unified government. Nature would gravitate towards the Human King, unifying and reviving the invincible fate of the Human Race from ancient times.

Unfortunately, such a heart-stirring scene, which should have shaken the entire Prehistoric World and caught the attention of countless people, went unnoticed.

Unknown to all, at some point, within the River of Destiny, several mysterious forces suddenly emerged, enveloping the area and concealing all traces, preventing anyone from discovering the changes in the Human Race’s fate.

At that moment, the three emperors of the Human Race within Fire Cloud Cave, Empress Nuwa in her palace, and the Upper Qing Saint from Golden Turtle Island, took action together to obscure the changes occurring in the Human Race’s destiny within the River of Destiny.

There is no need to say more about Empress Nuwa and the Upper Qing Saint, who are truly saints of the highest order. With the three emperors’ combined effort, they equate to a complete sacred position.

Thus, with three saints acting simultaneously, it was natural they could block all news, ensuring that no one would detect the upheaval here. Even fellow saints, without joining forces, would not be able to learn of this situation.

If even the saints could achieve this, there was no need to mention others.

...

...

"Senior, I shall take my leave!"

"The great battle is upon us, and I must make thorough preparations."

Having paid his respects to the senior of the Human Race, Jiang Chen turned and walked into the green mountains.

When the objective changes, plans must naturally evolve.

Previously, Jiang Chen’s goal had been to test the strength of the Demon Clan on the Beijulu Continent, so he had planned to mainly utilize the Gouchen Demon Soldiers.

The purpose was to probe, not to annihilate the enemy, and hence full force was unnecessary — the Gouchen Demon Soldiers would suffice.

But now, Jiang Chen’s objective was to establish sufficient exploits through this battle to secure the position of Human King. To achieve this, he needed to kill many demon gods.

Since the goal was to kill the enemy, relying solely on Gouchen Demon Soldiers was evidently insufficient; he required greater power, and for this, he needed to mobilize the foundation of the Human Race. Naturally, Jiang Chen had his preparations to make.

...

Arriving at the place in the green mountain where the demonic beings were imprisoned, behind Jiang Chen’s head, countless willpower circulated, transforming into a dazzling halo of the Human Path that rolled around him.

Within that halo, the figures of numerous Heavenly Demons and demonic beings manifested, chanting continuously, emitting the most devout prayer.

Swish swish swish...

Cascades of Human Path radiance fell, resplendent beyond compare, filling the void.

The tens of millions of demonic beings imprisoned by the Gouchen Heavenly Soldiers, placed within the Human Path radiance, gradually changed their expression, first becoming peaceful and then showing devoutness, endlessly worshipping Jiang Chen, their voices resonating with grand hymns.

With Jiang Chen’s current strength, fully unleashing the Great Wish Technique meant he could even subdue and suppress an Innate Dao Sovereign, let alone this group of demons, whose strongest were only demon gods from Ancient Da Luo. All together, they weren’t even a match for an Innate Dao Sovereign’s hand.

Naturally, Jiang Chen found the conversion process extremely easy, and in almost no time at all, these tens of millions of demonic beings were converted into his most devout followers.

Hum hum hum...

Above Jiang Chen’s head, the halo of the Human Path vibrated, becoming even more solid and brilliant, an endless luminosity circulating, radiating power that stirred the soul.

To be honest, these tens of millions of demons provided a very limited boost to Jiang Chen, hardly enhancing his power at all.

But Jiang Chen could use their power to shake the willpower in the void that had no master, thereby increasing the might of his own divine abilities.

This was Jiang Chen’s purpose in constantly converting demons, not for their power, but to borrow their energy to disturb the limitless willpower accumulated in the void since the birth of living beings.
