Unlike Lin Zhan's excitement, the two fearless Iron Eater Beast Emperors, Tie Lao Si and Tie Mo, were so terrified by the imposing aura that their legs went limp and they immediately prostrated themselves on the ground:
"Holy crap, Brother Qi is too awesome! He's directly threatening the old monsters of the Ten Thousand Races, and even dares to come out and roam under the Heavenly Punishment of Fortune. This is too manly."
William and Lancelot had never witnessed such a scene. One froze with a vacant stare, kneeling on the ground, while the other closed his eyes and fainted from sheer bliss.
Zi Qi's actions once again astonished everyone. They watched as the black lightning seeped into Xuan Niao Mountain.
Zi Qi clenched his hand, and a giant star burning with flames appeared above Xuan Niao Mountain, blocking all the lightning. Even the dense black clouds in the sky were dispersed a bit:
"It's about time. If the old immortals of the God Clan dared to plot against my descendants and sneak into Huaxia, then what I'm doing now isn't against the rules."
"How about this: let my Great Shang descendants offer 10 billion members of the Ten Thousand Races to humanity's Fortune to compensate for my consumption today. What do you say?"
As soon as Zi Qi finished speaking, the black lightning vanished without a trace, and the heavy black clouds in the sky dispersed completely. Bright sunshine once again bathed the Human King's Court.
Lin Zhan stared at the changes before him, dumbfounded: "Holy crap, so humanity's Fortune can also be bribed."
Zi Qi played with the light sphere in his hand and said to Lin Zhan:
"Grandson, shall we keep all of this, or just a portion of it, and give some back to those two little blonde guys?"
Lin Zhan glanced at William, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said to Zi Qi:
"Boss... no, Ancestor, those of us who walk the Jianghu value righteousness. William has acknowledged me as his big brother, so I can't just wipe him out. Let's return that small secret realm to them."
Zi Qi flicked his finger, and a small light sphere detached itself and merged into William's body:
"Foreign brat, since my grandson has spoken, this small secret realm will be returned to you. I have integrated it into your body, and only you will be able to enter it in the future. Upon your death, it will be passed down through your bloodline."
Zi Qi then turned to Lin Zhan again and said:
"Among these four great secret realms, two are resources. The quantity of resources in each great secret realm is ten times that of the small secret realm, and they contain even higher-level resources. These can even be used by those at the Emperor level. I'll keep these for now. After I sort them out, I'll send them to you, and I'll also check if there are any dangers."
"As for the remaining two, one contains nearly 100,000 sleeping members of the God Clan, including five God Clan Great Emperors and over twenty Emperor-level figures. The other is filled with the God Clan's standard weapons and equipment, as well as cultivated spiritual herbs and fruits."
"Our Great Shang's Emperor level has not yet recovered, and the external world cannot withstand our appearance. I will entrust these to the elders in the Classic of Mountains and Seas to handle."
Lin Zhan nodded and said, "It's all up to you, Ancestor. But with so many hidden Emperor-level figures among the God Clan, will the ancestors in the Classic of Mountains and Seas be in danger?"
"Haha, you underestimate us Huaxia too much, my child. My father, Emperor Ku, my brother, Emperor Yao, and Emperor Shun – three of the Five Emperors of ancient Huaxia are in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. There are also old figures like Kuafu and Zhu Jiuyin. Even if the God Clan's old fellows doubled their numbers, they would merely be nourishment for Huaxia's Fortune."
Lin Zhan smiled with relief, "Then there's no problem. Oh, Ancestor, let's keep a portion of those spiritual herbs and such. After all, spoils like these are rare and hard to come by."
Zi Qi heard this and laughed heartily:
"You little brat, stop scheming. Besides, my father and brother are the ones in charge in the end. They are your grandfather's spoils, how could they possibly embezzle? If I and these juniors could act, we wouldn't even need them to kill anyone."
"Moreover, I never intended to hand over these resources. But we must have half of these God Clan Emperor Crystals."
"By the way, you have now awakened the Imperial Blood of Great Shang, meaning you are an Imperial Son of Great Shang. You must be careful from now on."
He then shouted into the darkness: "Xuan Shang, from now on, you will be solely responsible for protecting the Imperial Son. You don't need to concern yourself with those of the same generation; that is the Imperial Son's trial. If any unruly old fellows make a move, you kill them for me."
"Yes," a burly man in black heavy armor bowed to Zi Qi.
"Grandson, Xuan Shang is a Xuan Niao Guard personally trained by your冥 Ancestor. His foundation is at the Human Sovereign pinnacle level, and his strength is not much weaker than Zi Tang's. There are not many like him in Great Shang. From now on, he will specifically protect you."
"Right, when you go to war with the Ten Thousand Races, kill more of them for me. I promised to offer 10 billion members of the Ten Thousand Races to Fortune."
Lin Zhan bowed deeply to Zi Qi, "Rest assured, Ancestor. Zhan'er will not shame the prestige of our Great Shang."
Then Zi Qi spoke to Tie Lao Si and Tie Mo:
"I say you two useless scoundrels, you have such high racial talent and pure bloodlines, even ancestral bloodlines, possessing everything you need, yet you can't cultivate properly? After all these years, you haven't even reached the Emperor level and are still lingering at the Emperor level pinnacle. It's truly shameless."
Tie Lao Si glanced at Zi Qi and retorted softly, "Brother Qi, haven't my brother and I killed Emperor-level fierce beasts?"
"You dare to say that! If it weren't for your old panda refining his shed claws into exclusive weapons for your Iron Eater Beast clan, none of you youngsters would be able to defeat Emperor-level fierce beasts, other than your eldest, second, and third brothers. You would have long become Emperor-level fierce beasts' excrement. Ultimately, it's your own lack of progress."
Zi Qi rebuked Tie Lao Si and Tie Wu, filled with disappointment.
"Enough. Since you disappointing brats have all come out, follow this young master to the battlefield of the Ten Thousand Races and fight. Strive to reach the Emperor level as soon as possible, don't be...
Even under such circumstances, the old ancestors of the Human Race, relying on their powerful strength and fearless spirit, directly crippled the entire Ten Thousand Races Alliance.
There were even many tasty members of the Ten Thousand Races that were directly eaten by our formidable ancestors.
After the final battle, the elder generations of both the Human Race and the Ten Thousand Races were all seriously injured and fell into slumber, leaving only some at the Emperor and King levels to hold the fort.
If it weren't for a traitor appearing in the Human Race, leading to Emperor Xin's great defeat and the decline of humanity's Fortune, perhaps the turmoil of the Ten Thousand Races would have ended in ancient times.
