Chapter 1218: Heading to the Divine Fall Mountain Range!

Mountains and rivers shattered, sects collapsed, countless lives turned to ashes.

At the moment when all human martial artists were most lost and bewildered, the emergence of the Mystic Gate was like raising a great banner, giving people a direction.

The demon race ran rampant, and there was almost no place left for humans in their own territory.

The demons were too strong!

Not only were they powerful themselves, but they could also turn human martial artists into demon slaves, multiplying like a plague.

"Have you heard? The Lingtian Divine King has founded an organization called the Mystic Gate, specifically to deal with the demons!"

"I'm heading to join the Mystic Gate! Those bastards in the Holy City are nothing but trash! They usually use the Alchemist Guild to amass wealth, but now that humanity is in crisis, they don't even utter a word—utterly disappointing!"

"The Lingtian Divine King is a true hero in chaotic times! I heard that in the battle at the Misty Sect, he single-handedly fought three demon gods, came out unscathed, and even killed one of them—truly formidable!"

"Demon gods were once divine path powerhouses, said to be unkillable! Even the great figures of the divine era could only suppress them. But the Lingtian Divine King actually killed a demon god—his strength is unimaginable!"

After the battle at the Misty Sect, Ye Yuan's reputation quickly spread among human experts.

With the outbreak of the demon calamity, they gradually realized this was a crisis of extinction!

The demons were too aggressive and nearly impossible to eradicate.

After all, few could kill demons directly like Ye Yuan.

In an instant, countless human experts surged toward the demon domain.

At that time, many experts gathered in the Dragon Clan.

"My lord, the Four Symbols families have each opened up some areas to accommodate human martial artists. However, some martial artists in certain places are unruly, and incidents of trouble frequently occur..."

Reporting to Ye Yuan on the settlement of human martial artists was Cao Yunzhi, whose hand Ye Yuan had cut off.

Ye Yuan hadn't expected Cao Yunzhi to be such a capable manager.

He had appointed Cao Yunzhi as an elder, second only to the various Mystic Lords in the Mystic Gate.

This arrangement thrilled Cao Yunzhi.

Cao Yunzhi was a man with a strong desire for fame and fortune, and Ye Yuan had given him great authority, which pleased him immensely. Every day, he worked tirelessly to settle all kinds of troublemakers.

Of course, settlement was only the first step; management was more important.

The Divine Realm had countless billions of martial artists, and although only a small fraction had flooded in, the number was still enormous.

Among them, most were rogue cultivators, even unruly and untamable.

How to keep these people in line was itself a great art.

Cao Yunzhi racked his brains every day, shuttling between these settlement sites, yet he found joy in it.

Hearing Cao Yunzhi's report, Ye Yuan said calmly, "In chaotic times, use severe punishments. Don't be polite with them! Those who cause trouble must be heavily punished! If one person causes trouble, punish that person; if a family causes trouble, expel the family from the demon domain! Do I need to teach you this? By the way, how is the recruitment of the army progressing?"

Cao Yunzhi looked troubled and said, "My lord, following your method of conscripting one in ten, we have already recruited the first batch of troops. These people are now in training and will be ready to fight soon."

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Good, well done! The war has just begun, and there's not much time for training. I don't ask much of them—just that they can defend the demon domain! This war between humans and demons will ultimately hinge on the two great demon gods. If they don't die, the war will never end."

In the world of martial artists, wars are always decided by the top-tier battles.

The rest are merely collateral damage.

The victor between Kano and Ye Yuan would determine the final outcome of this great war.

"Haha, big brother, you fought three demon gods alone—that battle really boosted morale! Now, the White Tiger clan has merged with the Demon Tiger clan into one family. Our demon race has also united as one! Whatever orders you give, my White Tiger clan will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

During Ye Yuan's absence, Bai Guang had grown into a true expert!

He had unified the White Tiger clan almost single-handedly.

Now, Bai Guang's strength rivaled that of the top ten divine kings—truly formidable.

"Ye Yuan, if the Heavenly Secrets Tower were to re-rank now, you would undoubtedly be the number one divine king! Even Zhuge Qingxuan probably can't compare to you!" Teng Yun laughed.

Having witnessed Ye Yuan's monstrous defense that day, Teng Yun was completely convinced.

He knew he could never withstand such an attack himself.

And if he were to launch an attack, although his Nine Suns Burning Heaven was powerful, it couldn't reach the level of the three demon gods.

If he couldn't break Ye Yuan's defense, everything was futile.

Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Zhuge Qingxuan is just a clown; I've never taken him seriously. What truly worries me are Kano and Yueji! Brother Teng, after that battle, the demons should be more restrained. Tomorrow, I plan to set out for the Divine Fall Mountain Range. I'll have to entrust the Mystic Gate to you!"

"This... are you really going?" Teng Yun was taken aback, not expecting Ye Yuan to leave so soon.

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Kano has gone quiet, surely making his final breakthrough. Once he fully recovers his strength comparable to the Return to Void Divine Realm, none of us will be his match! The Divine Realm today has no such great figure as Jue Tian to suppress him for another million years. Therefore, ordinary methods cannot reverse humanity's decline! Training step by step is just waiting for death!"

Teng Yun sighed and said, "The Divine Fall Mountain Range is extremely dangerous, and the Kunwu Divine Tree is no easy opponent. Take good care of yourself on this journey! You are humanity's only hope; for the sake of humanity, you must not fall!"

Ye Yuan laughed heartily and said, "Don't they all call me the Son of Destiny? How could I die so easily? Brother Teng, rest assured—perhaps when I return, I will become the first divine realm expert in the Divine Realm in a hundred thousand years!"

Ye Yuan laughed, but the others couldn't bring themselves to smile.

They were indeed struggling against the demon offensive.

But the danger Ye Yuan faced was a hundred times greater!

Even experts like Ding Tian and Ling Zhe dared not venture too deep into the Divine Fall Mountain Range.

Yet this time, to find the Kunwu Divine Tree, Ye Yuan had to enter the depths of the Divine Fall Mountain Range.

It was said that even divine path experts who entered there would face near-certain death!

This journey—who could tell whether it would bring fortune or disaster?

And even if he did find the Kunwu Divine Tree, could he really break through to the divine realm?

In this age of incomplete heavenly laws, who dared to make such bold claims?

"Big brother, I'll go with you!" Bai Guang said without hesitation.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Haha, good brother!"
