Li Xiaotian's eyes flickered. Ye Qingmei's words surprised him greatly. The fact that she had broken through to King level from an ordinary person in three days was simply incredible.
The reason for this was that Ye Qingmei's ancestor was a powerful being, so much so that the Tian family harbored both fear and envy.
Since Li Xiaotian came into contact with the Blood Sea, he knew that blood contained power, so he had no doubts about this.
For instance, if he were to have another child with Ye Qingmei now, he was certain that his child would be physically stronger than peers of the same age from birth.
Li Xiaotian was merely curious about how terrifying the strength of Ye Qingmei's ancestor was. Even after so many generations, the power passed down through his blood was still so formidable that it allowed an ordinary person to directly break through to King level!
Heaven level? Li Xiaotian speculated. Or was it a being like the Bronze Ancient Coffin?
He needed to find time to meet the Qin Emperor, Li Xiaotian thought.
Meanwhile, the outside world was already in an uproar. The events at the Dragon Palace Hotel spread globally at an astonishing speed.
Some of the attendees had even secretly filmed videos and uploaded them online.
Instantly, countless people were shocked, including the awakened martial artists. This was, after all, the first incident since the great changes in heaven and earth where contemporary humans had resisted and successfully triumphed over their resurrected forces. This was something they couldn't afford to ignore.
"This era was built by our blood and sweat. Now, it has been usurped, and we, due to our weakness, are powerless to resist. But we are the protagonists of this era. Being weak now does not mean we will always be weak. One day, we will reclaim everything that belongs to us!"
The uploader of the video was clearly a passionate youth, his words openly expressing resentment towards the resurrected forces.
And his brief words undoubtedly exposed the current situation on Earth with stark clarity.
"That's amazing! Is that the Dragon King? He's back! He's roaring on behalf of us new humans! The poster is right, one day, we will reclaim what rightfully belongs to us!"
Someone commented, their tone filled with excitement.
"He instantly killed a peak King and remained composed when surrounded by hundreds. He killed Emperor level cultivators while being a lower rank. Well done! Dragon King is too awesome!"
"The resurrected martial artists deserve to die. They are not human, but beasts. They all deserve to die. Dragon King, you killed them well, you should have killed them all, made them fear!"
Someone's words were filled with anger, suggesting they had experienced painful encounters.
"That's right. They appeared out of nowhere, directly taking our spoils, and even calling themselves our ancestors? Without them, there would be no us. Humph, a bunch of shameless old fogeys! They all deserve to die!"
"Is it really that bad? The resurrected martial artists aren't that terrible, are they? Things have been fine on our side. Besides, weren't the Dragon King's methods a bit too cruel? Killing a few ringleaders would have been enough, why kill everyone?"
Someone spoke up, disagreeing with Li Xiaotian's actions.
"You don't know anything, upstairs! You should be grateful that you met good people. Do you know what the Dragon King's Hall went through? Do you know how many people they lost? You shouldn't make random judgments without understanding the truth. People like you should experience some painful lessons to grow properly."
"Hmph! A bunch of ants. What do you know? This world was originally ours. If it weren't for us, how would you exist? Is it wrong for us to take back our own things?"
Some resurrected martial artists spoke up, adopting a condescending tone.
"Killing an Emperor level while being King level, impressive combat power, but the methods were too cruel. You have many Emperor level cultivators among us. I wonder how many of you Li Xiaotian can kill?"
"Emperor level cannot be provoked. Li Xiaotian, you are seeking your own doom!"
"Everyone, we are all humans. We don't necessarily have to be on opposite sides. The grievances between the Dragon King's Hall and the Tian family are their own business. I hope the humans of this era do not generalize. We who have returned ultimately share the same goal."
Someone spoke up, wishing to avoid excessive confrontation, as they realized the profound hostility that the humans of this era held towards them, the ancient ones.
"Heh, playing the peacemaker? You stole our homeland, and now you say we are all humans and shouldn't be opposed. Don't forget, you crossed the line first!" someone scoffed.
The disputes online escalated, and Li Xiaotian's actions had effectively intensified the conflict between the new humans and the ancient ones.
Conversely, the discussions about Li Xiaotian's combat prowess became increasingly scarce.
The new humans seized this opportunity to furiously insult the ancient ones, and those ancient ones, feeling provoked and offended, naturally retaliated.
Of course, some resurrected forces, since their return, had not committed any excessive acts. They attempted to ease the conflict between the new humans and the ancient ones.
Internal instability was a major taboo!
However, beyond the internet, the various resurrected forces were drawn to something in the video.
That was the Sky Tablet!
Something that, even in their era, had caused major forces to contend for it!
"The Sky Tablet is in Li Xiaotian's hands. Dispatch two Emperor level cultivators to seize the Sky Tablet!"
A certain force issued an order.
"The opportunity for Heaven level! The Sky Tablet must be seized. With it, our breakthrough will be within reach!"
Resurrected forces began to mobilize.
Before long, an unknown number of forces sent people to the capital of Qin overnight. It could be imagined that the capital, which had just experienced a fierce battle, might soon face even more terrifying combat than before.
At the same time, in the Tian family's manor, two figures radiating powerful auras soared into the sky, letting out earth-shattering roars.
The Tian family had lost one Emperor level cultivator and five peak King level cultivators!
How could this not enrage them?
"Li Xiaotian!!!" the Tian family patriarch roared, his eyes bloodshot. The terrifying fluctuations caused everyone within a radius of several miles to feel a suffocating pressure.
This time, the Tian family not only suffered a blow to their strength but also became a laughingstock.
This was because a new human in his twenties, Li Xiaotian, had single-handedly eliminated one Emperor level, five King levels, and hundreds of martial artists from their Tian family.
"Issue my order! Mobilize the army! March on the capital! This time, leave no one alive!" the Tian family patriarch roared. He had to quickly regain his prestige. Only by doing so could he salvage the Tian family's lost face. Moreover, Li Xiaotian's growth rate terrified him. A King level cultivator killing an Emperor level!
If given sufficient time to break through to Emperor level, who in his Tian family could then stop him?
Meanwhile, Li Xiaotian was unaware of everything happening in the outside world, not even knowing about the online discussions.
Everyone in the Dragon King's Hall was busy with the aftermath and had no time to concern themselves with other matters.
"Dragon King! Lord Qin requests your presence!" Late at night, someone from the War Department urgently arrived at the Dragon Palace Hotel. Normally, the Qin Emperor would not be so hasty, but he did not expect things to develop uncontrollably. That was why he contacted Li Xiaotian at this time.
Li Xiaotian walked out of the hotel, a look of confusion on his face. Lord Qin was not usually someone so rash. However, despite his confusion, he headed to the Qin Palace. After all, at this time, the Dragon King's Hall and Great Qin were united.
