Chapter 1367: Chapter 1367: What Is the Human Clan

"I see extraordinary potential in the three of you, worthy of my tutelage, which is why I have summoned you!"

Qin Jun looked at Guo Jia and the others with a smile, and with a wave of his right hand, three orbs of light flew out from his sleeve.

They were three Chaos spiritual treasures!

The one given to Emperor Gouchen was a sword, while the defensive garments were for Guo Jia and Guan Zhong.

The trio joyfully received the treasures and hastily knelt in thanks, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

They didn’t feign modesty, for they knew that the Heavenly Emperor had countless treasures; a show of false humility would only place them at a disadvantage.

At the same time, their hearts were filled with gratitude. Having just sworn fealty to Qin Jun, receiving such recognition indicated that Qin Jun truly acknowledged their potential.

"Rise. In the days to come, Guo Jia and Guan Zhong will follow Baili Shouyue to acquaint themselves with the Heavenly Emperor’s temple, while Gouchen should focus on cultivating diligently. I hope that you will attain sainthood soon, and I shall provide all the resources you need as much as possible."

Qin Jun said with a light laugh, deftly charting out a development path for each of them, exactly the paths they had hoped for.

Guo Jia and Guan Zhong didn’t place their highest value on personal power, unlike Emperor Gouchen; how could a martial god of Taoism not care about his own cultivation.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The trio exclaimed again, even the ever-composed Guan Zhong could not help but be excited.

For strategists, no luck is greater than finding a ruler who trusts them.

Having just arrived, Qin Jun entrusted him to learn about the Heavenly Emperor’s temple with Baili Shouyue, which was an utmost expression of trust.

Who doesn’t know that Baili Shouyue is deeply favored by the Heavenly Emperor, akin to the steward of the Heavenly Emperor’s temple.

"All right, you may leave. Do not let me down."

Qin Jun said with a smile; his temperament was now steady and regally commanding, every word and deed making one tense.

Thinking back, he had to find ways to please the God and Demon; now, it was they who sought his favor in every possible way. The contrast between then and now even made him feel a sense of surreal change.

Watching the three leave, he murmured, "I hope that eons from now, you will still uphold me as your Emperor."

After a while, he called softly, "Shouyue."

At the sound of his voice, Baili Shouyue hurriedly ran into the hall from the entrance.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Baili Shouyue knelt reverently before Qin Jun, his forehead touching the ground.

Even with his status now far surpassing his past, he remained as respectfully submissive to Qin Jun.

"How goes the investigation regarding the City of Fate?"

Qin Jun inquired, having asked about the City of Fate on the first day of his return.

Since he battled fate beyond the heavens, the City of Fate mysteriously vanished; as the present Chaos realm split because of it, no creatures dared approach, hence none knew the whereabouts of the City of Fate.

Upon hearing the question, Baili Shouyue awkwardly replied, "It’s still unclear, but I did hear about the Demon Clan appearing recently. The so-called Demon Clan is a gathering of birds and beasts into one race, rumored to be under a Demon Emperor with a city surpassing even the Chaos spiritual treasures, perhaps that is the City of Fate."

The Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan?

Qin Jun’s expression grew focused; it seemed Su Emperor was stirring again.

After the last great battle, Extreme Emperor retreated to the depths of the universe, and Su Emperor vanished without a trace; it appears this fellow went to cultivate. Emerging from seclusion, he began establishing the Demon Clan.

A new protagonist of the Dao has emerged, meaning that Qin Jun’s return draws even nearer.

"Hm, you may depart. Keep a close watch on the Demon Clan, and do not make things difficult for them."

Qin Jun waved him off, as his greatest task besides setting plans in motion was to cultivate.

As for competing for the title of cosmic overlord, he had no interest in it.

Because in the end, there are multitudes of universes; to contend for the moment might lead his followers to their demise among them.

Once he departs, will the God and Demon be able to withstand the Dao?

The key lies in the heart!

Over the long eons, his followers won’t always assist each other harmoniously; he has too many factors to consider. Staying away from disputes is the best choice.

"Yes!"

Baili Shouyue stood and left, not daring to disturb Qin Jun’s cultivation.

...

Demon Clan’s great world.

This is the original great world of the Demon Clan, dominated by creatures of the Demon Clan. The Devil Clan shall not enter, nor can other chaotic beings of different races trespass arbitrarily.

In a valley, the Su Emperor, dressed in white, sits on a tree trunk, fiddling with a purple crystal that emits strands of purple energy.

Many huge beasts lie prostrate in the valley, fierce and terrifying, their snoring while asleep sounds like thunderous roars.

"Your Majesty, the Devil Clan has sent a great army to invade again!"

A giant python emerged from the top of the valley, with eyes as big as houses and a body covered in black scales, looking imposing and fierce.

Hearing this, Su Emperor’s eyes flashed with a cold gleam, and he snorted, "The Devil Clan really seeks death, it seems I must eradicate them!"

After the battle with Qin Jun, he went into seclusion for a million years, and only after a breakthrough in cultivation did he come out.

For various reasons, he established the Demon Clan and proclaimed himself the Demon Emperor.

"It looks like I need to personally visit the Devil Clan!"

Su Emperor slowly stood up, and a terrifyingly unparalleled aura leaked out, startling all the slumbering giant beasts in the valley awake.

With the advent of the Demon Emperor, the winds and clouds of the universe stir anew!

...

Three days later, Qin Jun happenstance used his Divine Consciousness to scan the city and discovered that Guo Jia had made a friend named Xuandang.

When he heard Guo Jia repeatedly calling Xuandang, Qin Jun was stunned for a good while.

He didn’t expect Xuandang to emerge so soon.

"Wait... this is perhaps an opportunity..."

Qin Jun suddenly thought of something, and a sly smile appeared on his face.

He, after all, knew the future.

The Devil Clan would soon fall, and the Demon Clan, which would be the protagonists of the great Dao next, would be replaced by the Human Clan created by Xuandang.

If Guo Jia could connect with the Human Clan, the chances of survival were even greater.

With that in mind, his figure flickered, and he arrived at Guo Jia’s courtyard.

At this moment, Guo Jia and Xuandang were drinking and chatting beside a small lake, discussing the various rumors within the universe.

"The Devil Clan is too cruel and will eventually be replaced by other races!"

"I think so too, but the Heavenly Emperor has no intention to vie for supremacy so far. Who do you think will dominate the universe?"

"Maybe the Extreme Flame Demon God Clan or Confucianism."

"That’s not necessarily the case."

The two laughed and chatted, completely unaware of Qin Jun standing behind them.

Qin Jun smiled and said, "I think the universe will eventually be dominated by the Human Clan in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Guo Jia and Xuandang leapt to their feet.

"Your Majesty!"

Guo Jia quickly knelt down, Xuandang lowered his head, daring not to meet Qin Jun’s gaze.

They completely did not expect Qin Jun to appear.

"Dispense with formalities and continue the conversation just now!" Qin Jun said with a light laugh, not expecting the progenitor of the future Human Clan to be so naïve.

Compared to Xuandang’s split body, Xuandang’s true self seemed more lively.

Continue the earlier conversation?

Guo Jia stood up and exchanged a glance with Xuandang.

"What is the Human Clan?" Xuandang asked in confusion, the word for ’human’ sounded strange to him but inexplicably stirred excitement within him.

Guo Jia, having ancestral memory, thus knew of humans.

He suddenly realized there were no humans in this world yet, apart from him and Guan Zhong, there was no third person.

"Human, the innate Dao body, is the race most suited for cultivation under the great Dao."

Qin Jun said with a smile, his gaze intently on Xuandang, hoping Xuandang would think of something.

Currently, Xuandang was only at the beginning of Daluo’s cultivation level, and it would probably take a long time before he could create the Human Clan.
