Chapter 772 - The Situation!
Chapter 772: The Situation!
Ye Chen treated the High Priest’s injuries.
At this moment, Ye Chen looked at the High Priest and said, “High Priest, in other words, you were the one who survived back then. What exactly happened back then?
“Why did we, the mighty figures of the human race, leave the Upper Realm? Where did they go?”
Ye Chen asked all his questions in one breath.
If the mighty figures of the human race had not left the Upper Realm back then, the human race would never have ended up like today.
Therefore, the mighty figures of the human race definitely had a special reason for leaving the Upper Realm.
At this moment, the High Priest shook his head and said, “Actually, I don’t know the secret behind this either.
“Back then, I was just a child. At that time, the mighty figures of the human race suddenly disappeared from the Upper Realm. They seemed to have gone to a higher place.
“Later on, we, the human race, had a war with the various races in the Upper Realm.
“Because we, the mighty figures of the human race, had all left, we were unable to resist the powers of the other races in the Upper Realm. Later on, we, the human race, lost the war.
“Later on, the races led by the Deity Race decided to exile all the humans in the Upper Realm into the sinful realm.
“At that time, my parents could be considered as the powerful figures of the human race. They were all at the True Self Realm. Therefore, they led our race to hide in the Upper Realm.
“Later on, we hid in the Upper Realm. After 100,000 years, the human race of the Upper Realm could only hide in this mountain.”
Ye Chen nodded.
It seemed that the matter of the human race leaving the Upper Realm back then was already a secret.
It seemed that there was no way to investigate this matter.
However, no matter where they went, Ye Chen did not believe that among so many humans, there was not a single one who did not care about the human race of the Upper Realm.
Therefore, they must have left the Upper Realm for some reason and could not return.
Ye Chen did not ask any further and nodded.
At this moment, the High Priest stood up and looked at the human slaves who had been rescued. He said, “You are all humans, just like us. From now on, you are no longer slaves, but humans.
“Moreover, most of you are experts who have lit divine flames. You can live here. However, there is one requirement, which is that you must fight for us humans.
“If you are willing, you can stay here. If you are not willing, we will not stop you from going anywhere you want!”
At this moment, the human experts looked at each other in dismay.
Immediately, all of them knelt on the ground and said, “We are willing to fight for the human race!”
“That’s right, we are all humans, and we are willing to fight for the human race!”
“We were slaves in the past, and we thought that we would live like this for the rest of our lives. We never thought that we would see the light of day again, but we never thought that we would be able to stand here now.
“Therefore, instead of dying as slaves, we might as well fight for the human race and die for us!”
“That’s right, die for the human race!”
Everyone said sternly.
The High Priest nodded. Then, he looked at Jing Shan and said, “Alright, Jing Shan, take them down to settle them down!”
The refined middle-aged man, Jing Shan, nodded and led everyone out.
At this moment, Ye Chen also wanted to follow them out.
The High Priest hurriedly said, “Young friend, please wait!”
Ye Chen turned his head and looked at the High Priest.
After everyone had left, the High Priest looked at Ye Chen and said, “Young friend, you already know about my situation. I might not be able to live for long.”
Ye Chen nodded and did not say anything else.
He could not do anything about this situation.
The High Priest’s aging was not ordinary aging.
His physical body had already fused with the aura of the Great Dao. In other words, the Great Dao was accelerating his aging.
Even if he used any medicine, it would not work.
Even if his soul changed into another body, his other body would quickly age.
Therefore, even Ye Chen, there is no way.
He became a third-level cultivator and lived for 100,000 years, a very long time.
“So, my friend, I have a favor to ask of you,” said the High Priest.
Ye Chen hurriedly said, “High Priest please tell me!”
“Little friend, although I don’t know if you are the person in the prophecy, I know one thing very well. Your talent is very good, and your strength is very strong. If I die, I want to ask you to help me protect the humans here.”
Ye Chen looked at the High Priest and nodded. “Okay, I promise you!”
Ye Chen was the Human Emperor. Even if he was the Human Emperor of the Lower Realm, he was still the Human Emperor that tens of thousands of humans respected.
Therefore, he had to protect his people.
“Lin ‘er, take Chen to the world and familiarize yourself with the environment here!” The High Priest said with a smile.
“Yes, Grandpa High Priest!” Xian Lin ‘er immediately said.
Ye Chen followed Xian Lin ‘er and left the main hall.
After leaving the main hall, Xian Lin ‘er brought Ye Chen outside.
There were fertile fields everywhere outside, and many people were working hard.
“You’re from the Lower Realm. There must be a lot of humans in the Lower Realm, right?” Xian Lin ‘er asked Ye Chen.
Ye Chen nodded and said, “Back then, our Lower Realm’s human territory had 48 continents, and it was indeed much bigger than here.”
After hearing this, Xian Lin ‘er said, “There aren’t many humans here. I heard from the High Priest grandfather that at the beginning, our tribe only had a few dozen people. Later on, we gradually developed and now have more than 10,000 people.
“However, these more than 10,000 people can be considered as battle strength. There are only a few hundred people who can ignite the divine fire.
“Therefore, if we were to fight with others, I’m afraid we wouldn’t be able to withstand it at all.”
Ye Chen nodded and said, “The target of your rescue this time is too big. I reckon that the Spirit Clan has already paid attention to you. Therefore, I’m afraid that this place is only temporarily safe.”
Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Xian Lin ‘er nodded and said, “But now, the High Priest grandfather is also about to die. If the High Priest grandfather is lost, we won’t be able to resist at all.”
“In our tribe, there are three experts of the Escape One Realm. One of them is Uncle Jing Shan, the other is Auntie Linghua, and the other is Grandpa Heavenly Star. Other than these four experts of the Escape One Realm, there are only ten experts of the True Self Realm. The ten experts of the True Self Realm form ten small teams and go out to carry out missions.”
“Now, we are able to stay here so safely because we have the protection of the High Priest grandfather. However, in those large clans, every large clan has more than one expert of the Dao Fusing Realm.”
Xian Lin ‘er continued.
“More than one?” Ye Chen looked at Xian Lin ‘er with great surprise and hurriedly asked, “What about the Deity Race?”
“The Deity Race is the number one large clan. I heard that the Deity Race seems to have an ancestor who is in a deep sleep. Those ancestors seem to have already surpassed the Dao Fusing Realm and are experts at the Divine Tribulation Realm,” said Xian Lin ‘er.
