Chapter 931: Chapter 698: The Calculations of the Great Divine Transcendents (10,000 words) _5

"Alas, it is not that our Human Race is incompetent, but the cunning stratagems of the Mystic Sect’s Great Divine Transcendents are just too deceitful, the epitome of shamelessness."

Speaking of this matter, even someone as even-tempered as Jiang Xuan couldn’t help but curse out loud, having never seen someone so vicious and ruthless as those Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect.

"Jiang Chen, do you know that during the Ancient Era, when the Demon Clan was slaughtering our human race, many Great Divine Transcendents came forward to protect us?"

After cursing for a while, and once Jiang Xuan had calmed down a bit, instead of telling Jiang Chen what exactly those Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect had done in those days, he brought up a seemingly unrelated event.

Although puzzled as to why Jiang Xuan would suddenly ask about it, Jiang Chen still responded truthfully, "Of course I know. Our Human Race is grateful and seeks to repay our debts. In those dire times, anyone who stood up to the pressure of the Demon Clan and protected our Human Race was remembered by our tribe, each enshrined in temples, worshipped for generations..."

At this point, a surge of unease rose in Jiang Chen’s heart, leading him to sense a bad premonition. Being a clever person, he naturally understood that Jiang Xuan didn’t bring this up out of nowhere. Linking it all together, he seemed to grasp something.

Nevertheless, he was still somewhat hesitant to be certain of his guess. It was too terrifying a conjecture, with far-reaching implications. One misstep, and the greatest benefactor of those days could well turn into the greatest nemesis.

"Could it be that there’s a problem with this group of people from the human clan?" Jiang Chen asked tentatively, with some hesitation.

"Right, it’s exactly this group from the human clan that has a problem. After years of investigation by our human experts, we can almost confirm that the so-called Hideaway Faction is mostly comprised of individuals from this group."

"In other words, while they were under the protection of the Great Divine Transcendents, they were brainwashed, becoming the most loyal disciples of those Great Divine Transcendents, following their orders above all else. As for the interests of our Human Race, ha, what do they have to do with it?"

"They are all successors of the Great Divine Transcendents, legitimate disciples of the Mystic Sect, noble in origin, fundamentally different from us commoners of the Human Race."

Speaking of this, Jiang Xuan’s face turned ugly. Indeed, the human race had been careless, but who could have imagined that when those Great Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect moved to save the human race, they had ulterior motives?

In name, they saved lives, but in reality, they planted spies within the human race. At that time, the Human Race was on the brink of extinction, who could expect the Great Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect to scheme against the Human Race then when no one was on guard?

These Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect, after stepping in to save the Human Race, chose the best among them as disciples and passed down the Mystic Sect’s Great Dao. Once their training was complete, they sent them back into the Human Race to help it develop.

At the time, there was nothing suspicious about these individuals. Everyone belonged to the same race and had survived a calamity together, seeking warmth in unity rather than suspecting each other.

And that’s when the trouble started.

In the Distant Ancient Era, the Human Race was formidable, and they showed no signs of anomaly. But in the Ancient Times, as the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors retired and the great Yu fell, the mountain that had been pressing on their heads disappeared, and they began to make their moves quietly.

After the Ancient Times, when the faction advocating for war fell out of favor completely, they leapt to become the mainstream of the Human Race. With their numerous schemes, they eventually caused the Human Race to fragment, its majesty utterly lost.

Only then did the experts of the Human Race realize something was wrong and recognized that they had been calculated by the Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect.

By the time this was discovered, however, it was already too late. They had become a force to be reckoned with, and rooting them out was not simple.

Not to mention, the Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect were pressuring from the outside. If you moved against their disciples, was it not declaring a rupture with the Mystic Sect?

Due to an oversight at a single moment, the Human Race was completely put on the defensive and could no longer recover the situation. The only breaking strategy that the Human Race could think of was to bring forth a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial. With such, they would have the strength to overturn the table, making the Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect wary, not daring to act too recklessly.

But given the current state of the Human Race, the chance of the Heavenly Emperor achieving the Primordial Daluo Jinxian state had gone from almost certain to a distant dream.

"They’ve gone too far!"

After hearing Jiang Xuan’s narrative, Jiang Chen was truly infuriated. He had thought himself to be quite devious, but now he realized that compared to the Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect, there was still a gap. Even a shameless scoundrel like me thinks you are utterly despicable!

The baseness of the Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect was beyond Jiang Chen’s imagination.

"We of the Human Race were too naive, blindly trusting the traitors. Truly, none of the Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect are simple beings. They’re full of cunning, highly skilled in scheming."

Jiang Chen was truly shocked. Never had he thought that the Great Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect had begun scheming against the Human Race so early on. How could anyone be prepared against that? It was utterly indefensible.

There’s no way to doubt it. At that time, the Human Race was on the Demon Clan’s death list. Few in the Prehistoric World dared to help the Human Race. At such a moment, to doubt the intentions of those who saved you—what does that make you? Heartless? Could you really suspect them?

Now it appears that whenever the Great Divine Transcendents acted, there were schemes at play. The Human Race was far too naive, overestimating the bottom line of certain individuals.

"This incident has truly been a lesson for our Human Race. There is no free lunch in the world; any gift given for no reason comes with its price."

Jiang Xuan’s expression was extremely grim. Can you imagine that feeling? The great benefactors whom we worshiped for countless generations turned out, in the end, to be those who calculated against us the most.
