Chapter 593 Jiang Shi escapes
As soon as the grand gathering of all races ended, the ancestor of mankind suffered a terrible attack.
Powerful enemies came to hunt us down, setting up a tight net and blocking us at every level with extremely ruthless means.
Ren Zu had anticipated this and had been quietly setting up the formation since the moment he left the Haotian Secret Realm.
He forcefully killed two powerful beings who were chasing him, but this only made the enemies more determined to kill him.
Ren Zu was too tenacious and too resolute, as if he never gave up. Even when he was in great trouble, he always fought hard to break free. Many enemies could understand his persistence, after all, he was carrying the fate of an entire tribe.
But precisely because of this, they want to strangle the human race at its weakest moment.
Just one human ancestor is enough to make many races feel fearful. With the base number of the human race, if a few more strong people stand out, wouldn’t the human race become another strong race in the chaos?
Resources are limited and no one can give them up easily.
No matter whether it is the ancestor of mankind or those enemies, they are all seeking benefits for the races behind them, and no one can retreat.
It is ten years after the end of the Grand Gathering of All Races.
Ren Zu was surrounded and attacked by nearly a hundred powerful figures, his blood was shed all over the sky, and he was seriously injured and his whereabouts were unknown.
But those enemies did not give him a chance to catch his breath and recover.
After the whereabouts of the ancestor of humanity were unknown, they immediately slaughtered the human race on each life star. The creation of the Three Realms requires countless stars as a foundation. They dare not destroy the stars at will and offend the Emperor of Heaven, but they will not be soft-hearted towards the human beings on earth.
In just a few years, legends about "extraterrestrial demons" have appeared among the human race on the major life planets.
In the bloody legends filled with death and sorrow, those powerful beings who suddenly descended and slaughtered indiscriminately were described as demons with ferocious faces and hideous expressions.
Over the course of several years, tens of millions of humans died in the entire chaos, and even their bodies were used in some kind of sacrificial ceremonies.
The human population has dropped by nearly half, with heavy casualties. If things get any more extreme, the race will be on the verge of extinction.
However, there is no benefit in exterminating a race, and this does not meet the goal of the enemies. They still covet the fat meat of the human race, and what they do is just to force the ancestor of mankind to show up.
The tragic deaths of tens of millions of human beings and the overwhelming resentment really made the human ancestors furious.
He went crazy and took revenge on the enemy's race with such cruelty that all the enemies were terrified.
However, no one backed down. This was a moment that concerned the fate of the clan. A thousand years was not a long time for them. If they did not seize the opportunity, there would probably be no such good opportunity again in the future.
One hundred years after the end of the Grand Gathering of All Races.
Then, after a blood sacrifice of tens of millions of human corpses, the enemies discovered the traces of the ancestor of mankind.
The two sides once again engaged in a terrible battle. Although they took the Emperor of Heaven's order into consideration and did not cause too much damage to the environment, the fighting was still very fierce.
The deaths of tens of millions of clansmen caused the ancestor of mankind to become extremely murderous. He burned his essence and at the cost of never making any further progress in his realm in this life, he forcibly killed several executioners during the siege.
The enemies were also crazy, and they didn't care about anything and vowed to kill the ancestor of mankind.
In this siege battle, all the Chaos races chose to watch from the sidelines. They all saw the madness of both sides, and no one wanted to be involved in such a feud.
No matter which side you help, you will offend the "madman" on the other side.
Some powerful Chaos races are not afraid of challenges, but they will not bring trouble to their own race for no reason.
During this siege, when the Human Ancestor was pushed to the extreme, there was a being that rushed over in anger, but for some unknown reason, it eventually hid itself and never showed up.
It was as if Ren Zu had forced him to leave and didn't want him to show up now.
At the end of the battle, Ren Zu was nearly dead and had one arm cut off. He barely escaped with the power of the Three Evil Swords.
But even more terrifying things are yet to come.
The Buddha God Emperor, who was famous for his bloodthirstiness, also took part and sent out powerful men under his command to participate in this massive hunt.
The situation of Ren Zu became increasingly dangerous. Every time he was blocked, it was a life-and-death battle, and he could be destroyed at any time.
However, thanks to the Dingque Sword's incredible soul-nourishing properties, the Human Ancestor managed to persist for more than two hundred years and never fell into the siege.
Li Yuan, who was in the palace of the Heavenly Emperor, was arranged to be an inconspicuous guard. Every time he learned about the recent situation of the Ancestor of Man from the strong men of the Heavenly Emperor's lineage, he was worried.
However, he was ordered by the Emperor of Heaven to not leave the palace and appear in the outside world, so as not to cause greater chaos.
While Li Yuan was worried, he could only secretly comfort himself that he had met the old Renzu before, which meant that even if the Renzu encountered danger, there would definitely be a chance for recovery...
But before he could relax for long, another piece of news made him uneasy again.
Jiang Shi's consciousness became blurred again, and he fell into an extreme bloodthirsty killing. He attacked a boy under Laojun's seat, escaped from the Haotian Secret Realm, and disappeared.
A large and bloodthirsty monster would be a huge threat to the outside world.
After learning about this, Li Yuan visited Laojun and asked the Emperor of Heaven, but the answer he got was: "Its fate has come."
It is even possible that Jiang Shi was able to escape successfully because Laojun turned a blind eye and allowed him to do so.
The boy who was killed seemed to have committed a serious mistake, so he was deliberately arranged to guard Jiang Shi.
Li Yuan did not understand the meaning of their answers.
It was not until a strong man from the lineage of the Emperor of Heaven reported that the boy attacked by Jiang Shi had undergone a terrible transformation, as if he had turned into some strange new creature.
The thing that Li Yuan was most worried about finally happened.
Jiang Shi may have sensed that his "destiny" was approaching, and he suddenly developed the ability to infect. All creatures attacked by him, whether alive or dead, might undergo horrific changes.
The mutated boy inherited some of Jiang Shi's characteristics and was still afraid of the sunlight.
But the Emperor of Heaven told Li Yuan that Jiang Shi had never been afraid of the sun. It just didn't like it, not that it was afraid of it.
When Li Yuan buried the mutated Jiang Shi, he used the sun totem to forcibly carve a weakness into Jiang Shi's body. For Jiang Shi, it was more like some kind of psychological hypnosis.
Jiang Shi's inner consciousness tells him that he is afraid of sunlight and will be burned by it. This so-called weakness is also inherited by the monsters infected by him.
After the mutated boy fell into bloodthirsty madness, he tried to escape from the Haotian Secret Realm.
There were too many strong people here, which frightened it and it instinctively wanted to escape. But when it came into contact with the sun, it seemed to be afraid of this power from the bottom of its heart. Once exposed to the sun, its skin would immediately burn and soon cause serious damage.
As the ancestor of weirdness, Jiang Shi's fear of itself also becomes the fear of the creatures infected by it.
This fear, which was clearly caused by psychological suggestion, acted on the body of the strange creature and caused real harm.
The Emperor of Heaven deliberately raised this point, as if he was reminding Li Yuan of something.
"The weird thing... has some idealistic qualities?"
Li Yuan recalled the changes that Jiang Shi had undergone along the way. Whenever Jiang Shi needed any ability, it would always evolve on its own.
Thirsting for life essence, it grew fangs and sharp claws for attack; when single-target attacks were not satisfactory, it evolved the ability to suck blood from a distance.
It couldn't fly, so it grew wings, but when it found the wings inconvenient, it forcibly retracted them and instead used a strange power to fly...
As the ancestor of the weird, Jiang Shi seems to be extremely unique. He has the right to choose everything, and all the changes on his body can be done at will.
Li Yuan thought about it carefully, and then thought of the point of 'self-suggestion fear', and it seemed as if a light bulb had flashed on his head.
Idealism is a terrifyingly powerful ability, but...it is also a kind of breakthrough.
At this moment, Li Yuan seemed to have thought of a solution to the strange creatures of later generations. Although it was just a hint, it seemed that he had a direction.
Looking at the deep-thinking Li Yuan, there was a sigh of unknown meaning on the Emperor's indifferent face.
Finding the Qilin bloodline is Li Yuan's purpose of traveling through time and space.
However, the biggest gain of this trip was accompanying the emergence and growth of the ancestor of weirdness, and suddenly discovering some weaknesses of the weirdness.
But...what brave people gain may not necessarily be good luck, but death.
This is especially true for those who are righteous.
