With the Ten Thousand Clans Conference still ten days away, Di Jiu simply set up a protective formation in the place he had circled. The human race was not only those slaves left in the Sacred City of the Ten Thousand Clans, but also some human-inhabited clusters in remote areas. The human cultivators here had been under the oppression of other clans for years and had long lost their spirit of resistance, while the human clans in other places were still there.
After all, the Sacred City of the Ten Thousand Clans is the centre of this universe and the place where the rules are most complete.
Since Haiyi and Meng Ruo Lou had both stepped into the fourth step at the same time, they both wanted to put in some effort and simply followed Di Jiu’s request to build a three-dimensional shopping street in this area of Di Jiu’s circle.
This three-dimensional commercial street was divided into two levels, the ground and the air, with a square at the very centre and a building at the edge of the square, which towered straight up to the clouds and connected the two levels on the ground and in the air.
Above the edifice are four large letters written by Di Jiu, the Hall of the People.
Because the area Di Jiu had circled was so large, the streets built up around the periphery of the Human Hall were not only well connected but also spacious. On both sides of the street were all top-notch commercial buildings, rest houses and all kinds of cultivation places.
In just six days, Di Jiu had finished setting up the protective formation on the periphery of the Human Race, and Haiyi and Meng Ruo Lou had also finished setting up all the buildings and shops according to Di Jiu’s layout.
“Brother Di, if you stay in this place, I’m afraid that in the future, this will be the most prosperous centre of this side of the universe.” Haiyi looked at the beautiful brand new shops and caves and said with emotion.
She also knew how prosperous this place would be in the future, but she also knew in her heart that if Di Jiu had to leave in the future, it would not make any difference whether this place was built or not.
If Di Jiu was here, she would not leave this place, but once Di Jiu left, she would definitely have to leave too. Without Di Jiu, this piece of land would soon be targeted, and whoever is here is looking for death.
Di Jiu pointed to the three words ‘Human Corner’ suspended in the air and said, “I do what I can and feel I should do within my ability, in the future if this place survives or does not survive, it is not something I can predict or interfere with.”
The meaning of Di Jiu’s words was very clear, in the future when strong people from the human race came, they would naturally take this piece of land down, this was to give a reason and cause for those who came after them. If there were no strong people coming from the human race in the future and no one could come to occupy this side of the land, that was likewise not something he could manage to do.
But if he could do it now to take a piece of land for the human race, he would have to come and do it.
……
As Di Jiu thought, the human race on this side of the universe was not just the slaves of the various races in the Holy City of the Ten Thousand Tribes, there were also some independent human races located.
When it comes to independence, most of them are actually dependent on the strongest clans. Since they are dependent, there must be tribute. The area occupied by the human race was already at the edge of the barbaric universe, and the cultivation resources were not particularly abundant. Over the years, the fewer top-level powerhouses emerge.
For example, in the case of the Great Yin Divine Court that Di Jiu had previously come into contact with, the Lord of the Divine Court, Ji Youqiong, was attached to the Red Lin tribe.
There were many human regions such as the Great Yin Divine Court, but it was not as if there were no completely independent human regions.
The Qihuang Human Realm is one such region. It is also close to the edge of the barbaric wilderness, but unlike the Three Cloths Holy City and the Great Yin Divine Court, half of the Qihuang Human Realm is already established in the middle of the barbaric wilderness.
The Qidra Human Realm is a place formed by countless human cultivators who do not want to be attached to other races. The reason for this name is that all the human cultivators here hope that by opening up the barbaric wilderness, the human race can once again flourish and gain a foothold in this universe, instead of being attached to other races or shrinking at the edge of the barbaric wilderness.
Before he established this realm, he was a servant of the Holy City of the Ten Thousand Clans. Unlike others, he was forced to be a slave. Also unlike others, Yin Ding, when he could not stand the oppression, brought two companions to kill the powerful Gods who had enslaved them, then escaped from the Holy City of the Ten Thousand Clans and came to the edge of the barbaric wilderness to establish the Qi Desolate Human Realm.
After millions of years of development, some scattered human cultivators had migrated here, and now the Qihuang Human Realm was already the largest gathering place for the human race in this side of the universe, and Yin Ding, like him, had crossed the fourth step, establishing his words and becoming a saint.
Despite knowing that he had become a saint, Yin Ding knew very well in his heart that the strength of his people would still be as small as an ant in the Holy City of the Ten Thousand Clans.
Even though he knew in his heart that he was not strong enough, Yin Ding understood that he had to go to the Ten Thousand Clans Conference in the Holy City of the Ten Thousand Clans this time. For millions of years, Yin Ding had long been aware that relying on the human race alone to fight alone at the edge of the barbaric wilderness would never be able to stand up.
Therefore, even though most people did not agree with the Qidian Human Realm’s participation in the Ten Thousand Clans Congress at the Sacred City of the Ten Thousand Clans, Yin Ding still gathered all the strongest people in the Qidian Human Realm to discuss the matter.
“Lord Yin, I don’t agree with going to the Sacred City of the Ten Thousand Clans this time. With our strength, we are afraid that if we go to the Sacred City of the Ten Thousand Clans now, we will just be insulted. Besides, the Realm Master killed a shopkeeper of the God Clan back then, in case the God Clan finds out about it, it would be a disaster for our Qihuang Human Realm.”
The one who spoke was Fan Qin Xuan, the other fourth-step Rising Word Sage in the Qihuang Human Realm, apart from Yin Ding. In the entire Qi Desolate Human Realm, there were only two fourth-step Rising Word Saints, Yin Ding and Fan Qinxuan.
“Yes, the Qi Desolate Human Realm has developed carefully over the years, paying countless lives and enduring hardships to get to where it is today. If it were to be targeted by the Gods, I fear that it would end up in danger of being wiped out.” Another person stepped forward to speak.
“Right, we don’t have the strength to participate in the Ten Thousand Clans Conference right now.”
……
None of the people who spoke in the hall agreed with Yin Ding going to the Ten Thousand Clans Holy City to participate in the Ten Thousand Clans Conference.
When the crowd had finished speaking, Yin Ding stood up, and after his gaze swept over the crowd, he slowly said, “Millions have pa*sed since my human race migrated to the Qi Desolate Human Realm. And in these millions of years, I am the only one who has crossed into the fourth step. Brother Qin Xuan is also in the fourth step, but his fourth step has nothing to do with the edge of the barbaric wilderness. It can be said that if we still do not seek change, even if there are billions of miles more, we are just as likely to hide here with our heads shrunken.”
Here Yin Ding paused for a moment and took a deep breath, “Hiding at the edge of this barbaric wilderness is no different from being dependent on another race, or even being a slave of another race? Therefore, we must go to the Sacred City of the Ten Thousand Tribes this time. Even if we get nothing out of it, we must let people know that the human race is qualified to participate in the Ten Thousand Tribes Conference. One day, there will be strong people from the human race who will be qualified to have a say in this conference. If we do not attend today, many years from now, I am afraid that no one will ever know that there is still a human race in the vast universe.”
Hearing Yin Ding’s words, all the people fell silent, and everyone knew very well in their hearts that Yin Ding was right. If they participated, they would get nothing, and they would even get into trouble. But if they did not participate, there would be no human race among the ten thousand tribes, and would the human race still be around even after that?
As for the human race, those who are dependent on other races are not qualified to participate in the Ten Thousand Clans Conference. As a dependent, even if one were to participate in the Ten Thousand Clans Conference, one would still be participating on behalf of the race to which one is dependent.
Fan Qinxuan stood up, “What Realm Master Yin said is right, so I will bring my people to attend this a*sembly of Ten Thousand Races. The Realm Master stays in the Qihuang Human Realm, in case anything happens, I still have the Realm Master in the Qihuang Human Realm.”
Yin Ding shook his head, “No, I am the Realm Master, I must go there. Qin Xuan, you stay here, if anything happens to me, the human race of the Qihuang Human Realm will be led by you.”
Fan Qinxuan laughed, “In that case, Realm Master, we will just go together. As you said before, if we look ahead, how can our human race gain a foothold?”
Yin Ding likewise laughed, “Good, then let’s go over together.”
……
The Holy City of the Ten Thousand Clans.
All the teleportation arrays were transmitting almost every moment, and the Sacred City of the Ten Thousand Clans looked a thousand times more prosperous than when Di Jiu had first arrived.
The Ten Thousand Clans Congress in the Sacred City of the Ten Thousand Clans had not yet been abandoned by any of the races. It was a matter of the future development of each race, so who dared not come?
The teleportation array at the edge of the Sacred City of the Ten Thousand Tribes lit up, and this time eight people were teleported over. Two fourth-step Rising Word Saints, and six more were all third-step cultivators.
“Huh, it’s a human race …… it’s from the Qi Desolate Human Realm ……,” as soon as Yin Ding and the others stepped out of the teleportation formation, someone recognized where they came from.
“Wait, look at the one at the head, isn’t he the one who killed the shopkeeper in the Feather Ring House back then ……” A three-eyed cultivator recognized Yin Ding at first glance.
Before this cultivator could finish a sentence, he was dragged away by someone directly covering his mouth, “Hurry up and report it to the God Clan, now that they know about it, won’t they let them get away with it?”
