The potential of the Human Race is terrifying. In most worlds, humans start as fragile beings, but their potential is limitless. Except for a few worlds where the Heavenly Dao suppresses them, the Human Race almost always reigns supreme. Their floor is low, but their ceiling is high.
The Human Race in the Tales of Herding Gods world was precisely like this.
[Shi Jian: "In Qin Mu's world, there's a race called the Ancient God Race. Even their newborns possess terrifying talent. They can learn any Divine Ability and their realm can ascend to profound levels. However, they are restricted by their inherent Dao and cannot grow beyond a certain point. The Human Race is different. Their lower limit is inferior, but their upper limit is higher. Because of this, they have been suppressed by the Ancient God Race."]
[Shi Jian: "They cut off parts of the cultivation system to restrict humans from breaking through to higher realms. The Human Race rebelled many times but failed. Qin Mu became the Human Emperor under such circumstances and finally led the Human Race to rise!"]
Shi Jian briefly explained the world's situation.
[Xiao Yan: "God Race? How dare they suppress our Human Race?"]
[Meng Qi: "It's slightly better than the world of After Ascension. So, this Qin Mu is a Human Emperor?"]
[Shi Jian: "He is in the later stages. Qin Mu is also a cheat user, like Xiao Yan and Fang Han, but he's even more formidable."]
[Shi Jian: "Qin Mu grew up in a small mountain village where almost everyone was a peerless expert of the Human Race. Their strength was unparalleled."]
[Shi Jian: "Xiao Yan only had one Yao Lao, and Fang Han only had one Yan. But Qin Mu is different. Everyone in that village was his master. Among them was a peerless Swordsman who glimpsed the essence of the world, a fated physician whose medical and poison skills were at the peak, a demonic Dao enchantress, a Buddhist apostate, and the previous generation's Human Emperor."]
[Shi Jian: "His starting point is much higher than ours. With so many teachers and his own exceptional talent, Qin Mu is almost omnipotent."]
[Shi Jian: "Medicine, poison, swords, calligraphy, painting, boxing... he is proficient in almost everything. Ahem, he even had a master teach him how to flirt. And he's not just a jack of all trades; he's a master of each."]
After Shi Jian finished his introduction, the chat group fell silent for a while.
[Xiao Yan: "6, so he gets all the good stuff, huh?"]
[Fang Han: "He's not even pretending anymore..."]
[Yang Qi: "It's indeed a bit balanced..."]
Yang Qi had always considered himself a hexagonal warrior, but this Qin Mu's mechanics were heaven-defying.
[Li Changshou: "Actually, I've read Tales of Herding Gods, but I didn't finish it. It's indeed a bit of a cheat. In his world, zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting are all considered Daos. Splashing ink to paint can create a miniature world. What Qin Mu knows is not simple at all."]
Li Changshou, another transmigrator, had also heard of the famous 'novice village' in that book.
[Shi Jian: "That's pretty much it! Since he became the Human Emperor, Qin Mu's character is up to par. Oh, and he's not a transmigrator!"]
[Xiao Yan: "This world and this person sound good. We can consider inviting him!"]
[Meng Qi: "Indeed, but we need to understand the others first."]
[Fang Han: "Besides Tang San and Qin Mu, what's the situation with Yun Che and Lin Feng?"]
The group had a good impression of Qin Mu, but they needed to check the other candidates.
[Shi Jian: "Regarding Lin Feng, I remember a few protagonists with this name. The most famous one should be from a novel called Peerless Martial God. I'm not sure if it's him, though."]
[Shi Jian: "The cultivation system in Peerless Martial God is interesting. It has some connection to Tang San's world because it also has Martial Souls!"]
The group was a bit confused. Martial Soul? After hearing about the Xuanhuan floor tile, what good could that be?
[Li Changshou: "Actually, many worlds have Martial Soul settings. I haven't read Peerless Martial God, but I've read Divine Soul Supreme, which also has them. Don't look down on Martial Souls because of Blue Silver Grass; in other worlds, they are quite strong!"]
[Shi Jian: "Ahem, indeed. Different Martial Souls grant different abilities. Fire-element Martial Souls can create towering flames, Berserk Martial Souls enhance strength. It's like having an extra growth-oriented Magic Treasure!"]
[Li Changshou: "The protagonist's Martial Soul in Divine Soul Supreme is very powerful, similar to Xiao Yan's Yao Lao. It can guide training and possess the body."]
[Xiao Yan: "Why the personal attacks... Yao Lao is crying himself to sleep..."]
Xiao Yan was speechless. They were always using Yao Lao as an example and stepping on him.
[Li Changshou: "Ahem, it's because Yao Lao is too classic."]
[Fang Han: "Haha, this Martial Soul sounds pretty good. After Tang San, I thought they were useless."]
[Yang Qi: "If this Martial Soul can continuously grow, it's indeed miraculous."]
[Shi Jian: "Indeed. Martial Souls are a unique talent. Everyone awakens one. There are Natural Martial Souls (flame, ice), Weapon Martial Souls (saber, sword), Beast Martial Souls (White Tiger, Azure Dragon), and others. They grant miraculous abilities, equivalent to an Innate Divine Ability."]
[Shi Jian: "If the whole world has them, then whoever's Martial Soul is more formidable is the stronger person."]
[Shi Jian: "The world level is also very high. Lin Feng is a fellow Earthling. As such, his Comprehension Ability is heaven-defying, and he possesses a top-tier Martial Soul."]
[Shi Jian: "Lin Feng possesses the Heavenly Book Martial Soul. His Martial Soul is a book. Each time a page is opened, he gains terrifying abilities. The first page is extraordinary Comprehension Ability and the Heavenly Eye. The second page is the War God Sword. Each page is equivalent to an additional Martial Soul!"]
[Shi Jian: "Oh, and he's a Sword Cultivator!"]
[Xiao Yan: "So he's a fellow Earthling? No wonder his Martial Soul is so heaven-defying. For an Earthling, that's just normal performance!"]
[Lin Dong: "No, are you Earthlings not even pretending anymore?"]
[Fang Han: "Give us natives some space..."]
[Xiao Yan: "We Earthlings are clearly saving the myriad heavens, okay? (Witty emoji)"]
[Li Changshou: "Indeed, let Earthlings be great again!"]
[Shi Jian: "It's let the Huaxia people be great again!"]
The chat group's style veered off.
[Yang Qi: "The Martial Souls in this world are interesting. I just don't know if we can awaken them if we go there?"]
Yang Qi pulled the topic back.
[Li Changshou: "The value of Martial Souls is high. If we can awaken them, there are many benefits. Watch my Blue Silver Grass Entanglement!"]
[Shi Jian: "What Blue Silver Grass Entanglement? That's just shit. Watch my Golden Saint Dragon Martial Soul..."]
[Li Changshou: "There are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters, right?"]
[Shi Jian: "Hehe!"]
Yang Qi was speechless again.
[Shi Jian: "The world of Peerless Martial God is good, mainly because of the Martial Souls. If we can awaken them, the world's value is very high. If not, it's average. More importantly, I'm not sure if this is the Lin Feng from that novel."]
[Li Changshou: "I've read a book called Sovereign of the Myriad Worlds where the protagonist is also named Lin Feng and has Martial Souls. He awakened a Sword Martial Soul, was backstabbed by his first love who took it. In his world, Martial Souls can be plundered and transplanted..."]
[Xiao Yan: "Damn, such a cliché plot..."]
[Fang Han: "So the name Lin Feng is bound to Martial Souls?"]
[Yang Qi: "The latter world sounds easier to manipulate if one can plunder Martial Souls..."]
[Meng Qi: "Let's keep Lin Feng as a backup. What about the last one, Yun Che?"]
[Li Changshou: "Ahem, I have some understanding of this world... I only know that the colors are a bit deep!"]
[Shi Jian: "What are you talking about? It's just having a harem..."]
[Xiao Yan: "?"]
[Yang Qi: "?"]
[Shi Jian: "Ahem, if I'm not mistaken, this Yun Che should be from Against the Gods. This world cultivates Profound Energy. The world structure is large but has only three major realms: Mortal, God, and True God. The span between each small rank is terrifying."]
[Shi Jian: "Yun Che is not a transmigrator, but he is a reincarnated strong person. It's like Xiao Yan becoming a top expert, obtaining a Supreme Magic Treasure, being hunted down, dying, and then being reborn in Lin Dong's world as a 'waste,' but with his Supreme Magic Treasure still with him. He's his own Golden Finger."]
[Xiao Yan: "The example is vivid, but why always me..."]
[Fang Han: "Because you're classic enough!"]
[Li Changshou: "Haha, Fang Han can even answer questions now."]
[Shi Jian: "This Yun Che has the script of a strong person's rebirth, then revenge and rise. His character is also quite acceptable!"]
[Li Changshou: "None of that is important. The truly best thing about the Against the Gods world is only... shivers"]
