Chapter 9: The Human Race!

Inside the void station.

Seventeen curved-horn scale-armored warriors were all watching the scene displayed in the mirror in midair—the scene of Ji Ning slaying those ten opponents.

"Lord Warden."

Suddenly, Baluo appeared in the mirror in midair. He looked over and said, "Lord Warden, it has been ascertained that this alien's speed and swordsmanship are at the Heaven level, and his strength is at the Earth level. Moreover, he did not use any remarkable explosive techniques."

"Good." The black-caped curved-horn warrior in the station spoke, "Baluo, your mission is complete."

"Everyone." The black-caped curved-horn warrior swept his gaze across, "I will directly report the news of the alien to the Elder Hall. Does anyone have any objections?"

"No."

"No."

One by one, they all spoke.

"Good." The black-caped curved-horn warrior nodded slightly.

...

Within the Broken Horn World, on the continent of the ancient ruins.

Inside a colossal building a hundred thousand zhang high, there was a row of floating thrones arranged in an arc. There were nine thrones in total. At that moment, figures of curved-horn, golden-eyed, scale-armored warriors with golden capes appeared. Their auras were incomparably powerful. When all nine had appeared, a huge mirror coalesced in midair before them, displaying a scene.

"Respected elders, I am Qiwa, warden of station number 1292 in the third void circle." The black-caped curved-horn warrior in the scene spoke with utmost reverence, "We have discovered an alien who has entered the third void circle of our Broken Horn World. Just now, we have had initial contact with him."

Whoosh.

Immediately, the scene of Baluo sending ten subordinates to deal with Ji Ning appeared on the mirror, and even the conversation between Ji Ning and those blood-eye warriors was fully replayed.

"We judge that he possesses strength close to the Heaven level, and it is possible that he has some hidden techniques." The black-caped curved-horn warrior was extremely respectful.

"Oh, an alien?"

"It's been a long time since we've seen an alien from outside the Seven Gods World and the Twisted Intestine World."

"Interesting, he has two arms and two legs? And his body is so tiny?"

"Yellow skin, black eyes..."

The nine elders watched with great interest.

Their status was supremely honored; ordinary matters would not be reported to them. But the 'entry of an alien' was a matter of utmost importance. Even a single alien had to be reported to the Elder Hall, for once an alien arrived, it could mean the outbreak of a world war.

"An alien we've never seen before. His flying speed is average, but since he can advance through the void tides, at least his body is very strong. Or he has a special method to resist the void storms." An elder smiled, "I suggest sending the special action team of the third void circle to capture this alien alive, then dissect and study him thoroughly... An alien we've never seen, so small yet able to resist the void tides, is worth studying."

"I suggest... fully activating the third void circle to ensure the alien cannot escape."

"Full activation? That would consume too much power. This alien's flying speed is only this fast; the warriors we send can definitely catch up. There's no need to fully activate the third void circle."

"But we've never seen this alien before. We can't let him escape."

"Do you think the special action team of the third void circle can't handle him?"

The elders began to argue.

At that moment—

Boom~~~

A terrifying pressure descended.

The nine elders looked up at the same time, seeing a huge phantom in midair—a gigantic golden eye. The phantom of this golden eye alone was ten thousand zhang in size.

"Your Majesty." The nine elders immediately rose and bowed respectfully.

The ten-thousand-zhang golden eye was staring at Ji Ning in the scene, its gaze filled with excitement and fury. At the same time, a rumbling voice sounded: "Yes, that's right, this is the human race! The human race!!!"

"The human race?" The nine elders were all puzzled.

"Your Majesty, what is the human race?"

"He is of the human race?"

Each of them was full of doubt.

"The powerful human race, the terrifying human race." The golden eye stared at Ji Ning, its voice echoing throughout the Elder Hall, "They are the masters of the Three Realms, they are the murderers who once hunted us, they are the common enemy of countless worlds, including the Broken Horn World, the Seven Gods World, and the Twisted Intestine World."

"Masters of the Three Realms?"

"Where are the Three Realms?"

"The common enemy of countless worlds?"

The elders were bewildered.

The golden eye carefully examined Ji Ning and continued, "It was a great war long, long ago, a war that truly tore apart chaos and shattered the void. That great war ultimately formed this chaotic continent and, according to legend, the colorful, stable, and beautiful world of the Three Realms. The Three Realms were occupied by another powerful force! And we losers can only survive in this unstable, broken endless continent."

"What?"

"Our Endless Continent is the land of losers?"

"This, how can this be?"

"Our Broken Horn World is already extremely powerful, and the beings in this Endless Continent are even more numerous. Even 'Holy Ancestors' exist in abundance. How could we be losers?"

The nine elders could not believe it and did not want to believe it. They had always thought they were powerful, and the combined forces of the Endless Continent were even stronger. Yet they were inferior to that so-called 'Three Realms.'

"Holy Ancestors are called Dao Ancestors or True Gods in the Three Realms!" The golden eye continued, "There are many True Gods and Dao Ancestors in the Three Realms, and they even have beings that surpass True Gods and Dao Ancestors... Especially the legendary existence called Nuwa, who is truly terrifying. Even a Holy Ancestor before her would be annihilated in an instant."

"What!" The nine elders were all stunned.

A Holy Ancestor annihilated in an instant?

Nuwa?

Who is Nuwa?

The nine elders deeply engraved the name 'Nuwa' in their minds.

"Some Dao Ancestors in the Three Realms are extremely powerful. With a wave of their hand, they can destroy our Broken Horn World. With a single breath, flames can cover endless void, burning and collapsing the void itself. With a single sword, they can force several Holy Ancestors to flee." The golden eye had a look of recollection as it spoke slowly.

The nine elders knew well that their Emperor was the founder of this world, a being who had survived that infinitely distant war.

What the Emperor said was probably witnessed firsthand.

Too terrifying...

This Three Realms was too terrifying!

"And among the many races in the Three Realms, the strongest is the human race. This human race is also the master of the Three Realms." The golden eye said, "The human race is said to have been created by Nuwa, and she holds them dear. Moreover, the human race possesses terrifying growth potential and reproductive ability. Many powerful beings have been born among them, including many Dao Ancestors. The human race has the greatest strength and the greatest potential, and is recognized as the master of the Three Realms."

"And this invading little fellow... is of the human race!"

The golden eye stared fixedly at Ji Ning.

"The human race?"

The nine elders also stared at Ji Ning. Previously, they had looked down on Ji Ning from a superior position, thinking themselves wise and powerful, not taking this tiny being seriously. But now, hearing that this little fellow, whose height was less than a thousandth of theirs, was actually from the human race—the master of the Three Realms, the common terrifying enemy of the entire Endless Continent!

"So this is the human race?"

The nine elders could not help but feel a sense of awe, because the race behind this alien was too terrifying.

"But there is no need to worry about this little fellow." The Emperor's voice continued, "This is the Endless Continent, not the Three Realms. The so-called Heavenly Daos of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth in the Three Realms are useless here... Only the supreme 'Chaos Dao' is still useful. The Chaos Dao is the highest Dao... Whether it is the Endless Continent or the Three Realms, both were born from chaos. As long as something is born from chaos, the Chaos Dao can be used. But those who can comprehend the Chaos Dao, even if only a part, are top-tier beings in the Three Realms. This little fellow probably isn't that strong yet."

"Mm." The nine elders nodded.

The Chaos Dao...

They had heard of it too. It was indeed the highest Dao, the most powerful Dao. Able to draw upon the endless power of chaos, it could easily slay Dao Ancestors.

"I command." The Emperor's voice grew deeper and more solemn, "Fully activate the third void circle. Under no circumstances allow this human to escape."

"Deploy the entire special action team of the third void circle to capture this human alive."

"Deploy the entire First Army of the border forces to ensure the capture of this human alive."

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Yes."

The nine elders all responded respectfully.

...

"The Mother Emperor has ordered the capture of this alien alive. We are all to deploy." A curved-horn warrior in a purple cape roared.

"For the Mother Emperor." The densely packed thousand-odd black-caped warriors below all shouted.

...

"By order of the Mother Emperor, my First Army is to march out immediately to capture this alien alive." A powerful curved-horn warrior in a golden cape with black patterns at the hem roared.

"For the Mother Emperor."

A group of purple-caped curved-horn warriors below also responded with reverence and fervor.

Then they immediately began mobilizing their respective teams. Soon, the most powerful First Army of the border forces flew out of the Endless Continent, boarding enormous void ships and entering the void, heading toward Ji Ning's direction.

...

In an expanse of endless darkness.

Three powerful wills clashed. One of them was the will of the Mother Emperor who had just given orders.

"Sister, why have you awakened us?"

"It is not yet time for us to awaken." The other two wills each voiced their questions.

The will representing the Mother Emperor said, "A human has been discovered in the void territory of our Broken Horn World."

"A human?"

"What? A human?"

The wills of the other two terrifying beings immediately stirred. They could not forget that terrible war long ago. The power of the human race was deeply etched in their memories, and even after countless eons, they could not forget. It was a true nightmare. That terrifying force had countless experts, and the human race was the strongest among them. Those enormous so-called formations, the towering flames from the sun star, those weapons—long staves, trees, longswords, and so on—had destroyed so many beings they had to respect. To have survived that great war, they felt they were incredibly fortunate.
