Outside Of Time

516 Sovereigns of the Human Race! (2)

“There’s one more thing I have to remind you about the Quasi-Immortals. The immortal puppets of the Quasi-Immortals are stronger than their clansmen. They are killing machines that were created for battle.”

“Every immortal puppet is at least in the Nascent Soul realm. I don’t know the details of the production process, but I know that it was refined using live Quasi-Immortals. You can imagine how cruel the process is. The goal is to stimulate their resentment and madness, and then combine it with some special anomalous substances to produce an ability similar to invading all things.”

With that, the old man put away the Quasi-Immortal cultivator and took another large gulp of wine.

“It’s a pity that I can’t dismember this Quasi-Immortal in front of you. The three races have an alliance. One of them stipulates that if the criminals of the three races are caught committing crimes in the territory of another race, they can only be imprisoned for ten years at most before they have to be transferred back to their own race.”

“It’s the same for the Holy Demon Race, the Quasi-Immortal Race, and our human race.”

The old man shook his head and no longer bothered everyone as he walked out.

Xu Qing also returned to his chair and sat down.

At that moment, it was already afternoon outside, and the sun was already setting on the horizon, casting a golden glow over the sky.

As the sunset deepened, a figure walked into the Sword Holding Palace.

He was an old man clothed in a green robe. His hair was white and his eyes sparkled. The scholarly aura coming from him was unmistakable even from a distance.

As he walked over, all the Sword Holders who saw him greeted him respectfully.

“Greetings, Deputy Governor.”

The Palace Masters of the three palaces were second only to the County Governor in terms of authority. Below this level was the Deputy Governor.

The Deputy Governor had a smile on his face as he walked toward the Knowledge Hall. On the way, he looked at the surrounding halls and smiled as he spoke to the Sword Holder beside him.

“Thinking about it, the last time I came here was ten years ago. Yesterday, I heard from the county governor that the new Sword Holders are impressive. I can take this opportunity to take a look at the elites of our human race.”

The Deputy Governor was accompanied by the leader of the four deacons of the Sword Holding Palace, who broke into a smile upon hearing this.

“These brats still have much to learn. The Deputy Governor is very knowledgeable. If you could give them some pointers, it would be their great fortune.”

The Deputy Governor nodded happily and followed the deacon to the Knowledge Hall.

The moment they entered, everyone in the hall saw the deacon escorting someone and stood up to greet him. Xu Qing was the same and looked at the two people walking over.

“This is the Deputy Governor of my Fenghai County. He will explain to you about the history of the human race and how to save yourself through plants and vegetation when you are in danger.”

The deacon spoke solemnly.

“The Deputy Governor is a paragon of virtue and benevolence. Six years ago, he improved the white pills and developed the plain pills. The effect of this pill on dissipating anomalous substances has more than doubled. This great feat has alleviated the sufferings of the people in the county, sparing them from the torment of the anomalous substances.”

At this point, the deacon cupped his fists and bowed to the Deputy Governor.

The Deputy Governor returned the greeting and sighed with emotion.

“I cannot accept the praise of immeasurable virtue. It takes time to nurture the herbs for the plain pills. Right now, they can only be provided to the commoners in the county capital. If it can be popularized in the entire 13 provinces of the county and even the entire human race, it can then be considered a virtue.”

“Lord is humble.” The deacon spoke respectfully before bidding farewell and leaving. It was only when he walked out of the Knowledge Hall that the Deputy Governor, who was the focus of Xu Qing and the others, smiled and walked to the chair. After taking his seat, he spoke warmly.

“Everyone, sit down. Your deacon overpraised me. I’m just a scholar.”

Everyone bowed respectfully before sitting down. They then looked at the Deputy Governor in front of them.

Xu Qing looked at the other party and sensed an aura similar to Grandmaster Bai and the Great Elder of the Sword Holding Court. This made him instinctively have a good impression of him.

This was especially so when he heard about the plain pills earlier. It aroused his interest and he prepared to buy one to study later.

The Deputy Governor’s lesson was also very interesting. He explained the history of the human race. From the glory of the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether to the worship of the myriad races in the Wanggu Continent until the god’s fragmented-face arrived and the Wanggu faced its calamity.

After that, the focus was on the successive human emperors of the human race in the era after the god’s fragmented-face.

Some of them were muddle-headed, some were wise. Some were trying to revive the human race, while some were content with the status quo.

“In the year 37938 of the Eastern Triumph Calendar, the Human Sovereign Eastern Triumph was eager for military glory. He ignored the dissuasion and mobilized the entire race to start a war with the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race. This battle ended in a huge defeat, with tens of thousands of years of accumulation of our human race gone to waste, and countless young men buried in the foreign soil. After that, our strength declined sharply, and it became a turning point for our human race. History calls it the Mystic Heaven Incident.”

“In the year 21435 of the Holy Sky Calendar, the series of consequences of the Mystic Heaven Incident erupted cumulatively. Our human race lost 39 regions that had been ours for tens of thousands of years. Billions of our people became refugees, enslaved by the nonhuman races and scattered throughout Wanggu.”

“Those commoners who are scattered in the nonhuman races’ territories, generations after generations, live without knowledge of their race and die without knowing where their homes are. Some of the better off can form small countries but they are also facing enslavement and destruction at all times.”

“It was only during the Mirror Cloud Era, several years later, that our human race had a chance to rise again. The Human Sovereign Mirror Cloud was wise and virtuous. There was also a small country in the Purple Green Region that was able to rise against the heavens and occupied the region.”

“This country’s name was Purple Green. Its king was ordinary, but its crown prince was peerlessly shocking and is known as the number one outstanding talent of the human race after the god’s fragmented-face arrived. He was born with the luck of the human race. The moment he was born, wails rang out from all the forbidden regions in the Wanggu Continent. Strange blood flowed and spread outside the various forbidden regions.”

“Later generations researched and believed that he was the savior created by the vast world of the Wanggu Continent with the power of the world. He was given the mission of unifying the Wanggu Continent.”

“This Crown Prince Purple Green, who could suppress an era, and the Human Sovereign Mirror Cloud suppressed two opposite directions. Under the joint efforts of the two of them, our human race finally stabilized the situation of constantly losing our territories.”

“At that time, the human race still had three regions and 27 counties, with the large region of Purple Green under our feet, which is now the Holy Wave Large Region!”

“This peerless heaven’s chosen fell.”

“He died on the soil of the Purple Green Kingdom. Those who participated in the killing were all terrifying individuals, including the sleeping god of the earth who also took action. The Human Sovereign Mirror Cloud was unable to reinforce him in time. From then on… there was no longer Purple Green in this world. That peerless heaven’s chosen finally died in an overseas continent far away from here.”

“On the day he died, the Wanggu’s mountain ranges quaked as though they were shouting. The billions of rivers flowed against the current as though they were crying. The fragmented-face of the god in the sky also opened its eyes because of this.”

“Years later, as the Purple Green disappeared and the Grand Duke Holy Wave was appointed as the region lord, in the year 1257 of the Dao World Calendar, even though the Human Sovereign Dao World was wise and virtuous, everything still changed. The Black Heaven Race rose and invaded our human race!”

“The human sovereign personally led the expedition and the entire race resisted. We could have successfully repelled the Black Heaven Race but at the critical moment, the Grand Duke Holy Wave rebelled and handed a region to Black Heaven. He even mixed his blood with theirs and turned against his own race!”

“After this battle, the human race lost two regions and 20 counties… This incident is known as the Rebellion of the Holy Wave.”

“From that moment on, the name of the large region of Purple Green was changed to Holy Wave.”

As the Deputy Governor spoke, his voice seemed to lead everyone on a journey through time, allowing them to witness the history of the human race. The story was poignant and emotional, filled with moments of excitement as well as sorrow.

“Just like that, the territory of our human race went from covering the entire Wanggu Continent to only one region and seven counties. Now, it’s year 2931 of the Mystic War Calendar. I hope that our Human Sovereign Mystic War will bring back the holy light.”

The Deputy Governor sighed softly.

“The future depends on you. I hope you can inherit the ancient style and become Sword Holders who can truly protect the human race and not just look for your own benefits!”

Everyone fell silent.

Xu Qing lowered his head. His hands had clenched tightly at some point in time. They were clenched so tightly that they turned white.
