Li Wu, standing beside him, could not help but glance at Li Tan, uncertain whether the latter was referring to Xuanyuan or Lieshan who was currently giving instructions to Emperor Kui.

Guang Chengzi was also present, and he had the intention of having Lieshan directly cede the position of co-ruler of the Human Race to Xuanyuan, whom he had devotedly taught over the years... However, the present Xuanyuan lacked any significant achievements and his influence on the Human Race still couldn’t compare with Emperor Kui, the son of Lieshan!

Therefore, he had no choice but to give up!

And as for Li Tan, he also suppressed the eagerness in his heart. Over the years, Emperor Kui, assisting Lieshan in governing the Human Race, had made contributions evident to all... With his current prestige, he was still inferior to Emperor Kui!

He planned to wait until the "Blood Refining Technique" and the "Martial Arts" system were perfected, then gather a great momentum and snatch the position of co-ruler of the Human Race from him!

As time passed day by day, the prestige of Li Tan was growing ever higher, while Xuanyuan still had no notable accomplishments, causing Guang Chengzi and Mysterious Fairy of the Nine Heavens to grow anxious.

Meanwhile, after reaching the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal thousands of years later, Emperor Kui also chose to abdicate, with his son Emperor Cheng as his successor.

Seeing that the position of co-ruler of the Human Race had once again fallen into the hands of a descendant of Lieshan’s lineage, and that it showed a trend of being passed down for dozens of generations like the lineage of Fu Xi, both Xuanyuan and Li Tan could not help but express their opposition.

"The matter of prestige is best addressed through the expansion of territory; the Heavenly Emperor opened the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, while the Earth Emperor, following the path of Shennong, transformed barren lands into blessed places suitable for the survival of the Human Race!"

"To swiftly raise Xuanyuan’s prestige, the expansion of territory might well be a wise choice!"

Guang Chengzi spoke slowly.

Mysterious Fairy of the Nine Heavens also nodded in agreement.

Although the two often had disagreements, they were in complete accord on this matter, and both turned their gaze towards the Demon Clan, who bore enmity with the Human Race.

Even after dozens of great eons had passed, the memory of the Demon Clan’s armies mercilessly slaughtering the Human Race and casting the Sorcerer Slayer Sword with the essence blood and souls of humans was still etched in the hearts of all in the Human Race.

Furthermore, during the time of the Earth Emperor, Emperor Yan, his daughter Jingwei also perished due to the scheming of a minor Golden Crow.

Between the Human and Demon Clans, there was a deep-seated hatred as vast as the Blood Sea, naturally making them the most suitable targets for action.

Thus, under the leadership of Xuanyuan, Guang Chengzi, and Mysterious Fairy of the Nine Heavens, the Youchao Tribe began a major campaign against the numerous Demon Countries in the Primordial World.

Relying solely on the strength of the Youchao Tribe was obviously insufficient, but once the support of Yuanshi Tianzun for Xuanyuan was heard, the Phoenix Clan’s Mysterious Bird immediately dispatched Cultivators.

The great battle was on the verge of breaking out!

With the help of Guang Chengzi, Mysterious Fairy of the Nine Heavens, and the Cultivators of the Phoenix Clan, Xuanyuan emerged victorious in every battle, his prestige rapidly surging among the tribes of the Human Race in the All Heavens.

Upon hearing this, Li Tan was not to be outdone, leading the Jiuli Tribe to campaigns east and west, annihilating several Demon Countries, and even developing the "Blood Refining Technique" for crafting Magic Artifacts with the physical bodies and Primordial Spirits of the Demon Clan, his prestige soaring to new heights—surpassing that of Xuanyuan!

Observing the situation, Emperor Cheng also began campaigns against the Demon Clan, clearly recognizing that Xuanyuan and Li Tan’s objective was to become the new co-ruler of the Human Race.

As a descendant of Shennong, he naturally did not want to lose the position of co-ruler of the Human Race.

However, Emperor Cheng’s strength paled in comparison to Xuanyuan and Li Tan, even with the mobilization of the Human Clan Tribe, he dared not attack those powerful Demon Countries.

Moreover, due to constant warmongering, the power of the Lieshan Tribe was diminishing year by year.

After Emperor Cheng’s abdication, Emperor Ming succeeded him; Emperor Ming was succeeded by Emperor Zhi; Emperor Zhi by Emperor Mao; Emperor Mao by Emperor Ai; Emperor Ai by Emperor Ke; and Emperor Ke by Emperor Yuwang.

Compared to the Fuxi Clan, which had been inherited through eighty-six generations, the Lie Shan Clan was undoubtedly somewhat lackluster. In just tens of thousands of years, with only nine generations of Emperors Yan, they already showed signs of decline and a lack of strong successors.

There was no helping it!

Their opponents were Xuanyuan and Li Tan— to not be driven out of the position of common ruler of the Human Race by these two, they had to do the same thing as them... that was to slay demons and expand territories for the Human Race!

The foundation of the Lie Shan Clan was depleted generation after generation, eventually becoming a mere foil to Xuanyuan and Li Tan.

By the time of Emperor Yuwang, the ninth Emperor Yan, Li Tan finally made his move and openly declared to the entire Human Race his intention to lay his hands on the position of common ruler.

Emperor Yuwang naturally refused to accept this, dispatching forces to subdue Li Tan, only to face a crushing defeat.

Then, Li Tan moved from east to west, leading the elite forces of the Jiuli Tribe, sweeping through the tribes that were affiliated with Emperor Yuwang. Everyone witnessed his fierceness.

Seeing Li Tan strike first, Xuanyuan couldn’t sit still either. Leading the Youxiong Clan, he swiftly brought hundreds of tribes near the Yellow River Basin under his control.

What was initially the great war against the Demon Clan suddenly morphed into a trend of civil war among the Human Race.

"Whether it’s a blessing or a disaster, one cannot hide from it!"

Both Fuxi and Shennong noticed this great war, but neither of them stopped it, knowing it was an inevitable event.

On Xuanyuan’s side, with the assistance of Guang Chengzi and the Mysterious Fairy from the Nine Heavens, as well as the troops dispatched from the Heavenly Court and the elite forces of the Phoenix Clan sent by the Mysterious Bird, by all rights, he should have had a huge advantage.

However, upon the first clash, Xuanyuan was soundly defeated. In front of Li Tan’s battle formation, Xuanyuan’s helpers were simply no match.

A complete rout!

If it hadn’t been for Guang Chengzi and the Mysterious Fairy using their "Mountain Moving" Divine Skills to block the Jiuli Tribe’s army, Xuanyuan might not have had the chance to escape.

However, although Xuanyuan was defeated miserably, he still had several capable people under his command, such as the Wind Queen who inherited the bloodline of the Fuxi Clan, Cang Jie with his innate double pupils, and Li Mu who possessed the bloodline of the Dragon Clan...

Xuanqing also paid attention to this great battle.

But what attracted him the most was Xuanyuan’s daughter, the Lady of Dryness, as well as Ying Gou and Hou Qing under his command, three out of the four great Zombie Ancestors.

Moreover, the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book that he acquired from You Wen also showed some unusual activity. After obtaining this Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, he had carefully deduced that it was related to the Curse Demon God.

He did not intend to get involved in the struggle between Xuanyuan and Li Tan, but he worried that the grand battle under their command would become a medium for the Curse Demon God’s return.

"Coincidence, or someone’s guidance?"

If the three Zombie Ancestors — Lady of Dryness, Ying Gou, and Hou Qing — were to awaken the power of the Zombie Ancestor on the battlefield, they could easily create tens of millions of Jiang Clan members.

Xuanqing felt that it was definitely unusual for the three Zombie Ancestors to be reincarnated simultaneously under Xuanyuan’s command, and perhaps there was someone secretly scheming behind the scenes.

"Moreover, where did that fellow Jiang Chen go?"

Three out of the four great Zombie Ancestors had appeared, with one still missing... Thus, he always felt that the Curse Demon God was behind this, stirring things up.

A centipede dies but never falls. Even though previously, Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Sect Master had personally taken action, he did not believe the opponent had been completely annihilated!
