Chapter 667: The Ten-Thousand-Year War

The voice responding from the tianzhu sword was very dejected.

Xiao Fan nodded, lost in thought; the implications of this matter were too great.

He had not expected that even the Heavenly Dao of the Jiuzhou Continent had been tampered with…

"So that's how it is…" Xiao Fan muttered to himself. He finally understood why he had been struck by lightning!

He had pondered countless times before why he had attracted such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation when he advanced to the Yuanhun Realm!

Why was he an existence that the Heavens could not tolerate?

As it turned out… now that he saw it clearly, it was the Heavenly Dao that feared him.

The Heavenly Dao wanted to suppress the growth of the Geniuses and Prodigies of Jiuzhou.

"Your Majesty, the Human Emperor… this is the truth about the war from tens of thousands of years ago… After that great war, the high-level Cultivation Techniques and Heaven And Earth Treasure on Jiuzhou were all looted by those two clans… The once-fertile land became broken and desolate… It took countless years to barely recover… But ever since then, every ten thousand years, these two clans send their young Geniuses and Prodigies to enter the Jiuzhou lands to slaughter and train. They treat Jiuzhou as their Trial Grounds!"

"They view us as uncivilized natives and treat the lives of us people of Jiuzhou like ants. They scrape clean the newly appeared Heaven And Earth Treasure on Jiuzhou and slaughter our strongest experts… After destroying Jiuzhou until it is in a sorry state… they flick their sleeves and leave!"

"With the rules of the Heavenly Dao on Jiuzhou tampered with, and under the various tribulations such as the Heavenly Tribulation, it has become difficult for our Jiuzhou Continent to give birth to experts capable of resisting them…"

Speaking up to this point, Hou Wanli's expression was complex…

"What do you mean by that?" Xiao Fan was taken aback. He was not clear about the cultivation system beyond that.

He only knew that after the Yuding Realm came the Jiesheng Realm, but he was unclear about what came after that.

"After the Yuding Realm is the Jiesheng Realm, and after the Jiesheng Realm is the Shie Realm… But on Jiuzhou, reaching the Shie Realm is currently the limit… Because the Heavenly Dao is flawed, it is difficult to further increase one's strength!"

"As for the people outside of Jiuzhou, they have abundant spiritual energy, infinite Heaven And Earth Treasure, and a complete Dao, so they can enter higher Realms… The young Prodigies of the Weiyang Clan and the Witch God Clan who come in every ten thousand years to slaughter the living beings of our Jiuzhou, the weakest among them are at the Shie Realm… and there are even experts at the Zhanming Realm, which is beyond the Shie Realm!!"

"Shie Realm… Zhanming Realm…" Xiao Fan muttered to himself. This was the first time he had heard about the Realms after the Jiesheng Realm.

He had originally thought that the Jiesheng Realm was already very strong, but after hearing Hou Wanli's words, he felt that he had been naive before.

The young people from the other two clans who come in to train include those at the Shie Realm, and even experts at the Zhanming Realm, who can slaughter the absolute strongest experts on Jiuzhou… There is simply no comparison.

"The young Prodigies sent in by the Witch God Clan and the Weiyang Clan possess terrifying Cultivation Techniques… far exceeding those of our Jiuzhou Continent. Among the same rank, even the older generation of experts from our Jiuzhou are far from being their match."

Xiao Fan nodded. His heart could not calm down for a long time; hearing such news shocked him.

"Your Majesty, the Human Emperor… now that you have returned to the Human Emperor's throne and gained the recognition of the Jiuzhou Continent, the mission of protecting the Human Race depends on you!" Hou Wanli was extremely excited!

Xiao Fan had just been unsettled, but Hou Wanli's words left him stunned…

Leave it to him?

He was only at the Yuanhun Realm right now…

If it were the Xiao Fan from before, he would surely have refused outright. But sitting on the golden jade Dragon throne at this moment, he seemed to feel the anger radiating from the Dragon throne… resonating with him.

Coupled with the scenes of the war from countless years ago that he had seen in his mind earlier… it left him with a lingering sense of indignation.

Now that he had been recognized by the heavens and earth of Jiuzhou and had become the new Human Emperor, he unconsciously developed a sense of belonging to this land.

"How much time is left until the next ten-thousand-year mark?" Xiao Fan hesitated for a moment before asking in a deep voice.

Xiao Fan, on the Dragon throne, was the new Human Emperor!

Protecting Jiuzhou had unconsciously become his responsibility!

At the same time, Xiao Fan also understood one thing: once the ten-thousand-year period arrived, when the young Prodigies of the Witch God Clan and the Weiyang Clan entered, he would find it difficult to avoid them and would have to face them in battle.

"There is less than 300 years left," Hou Wanli said.

"300 years…" Xiao Fan muttered to himself, feeling that there was still enough time.

"Your Majesty, the Human Emperor, in 300 years, the war will begin… Please seize the time to improve your cultivation."

Xiao Fan hesitated for a moment, nodded, and asked: "Why did the immeasurable divine pearl also react to that Chu Feng earlier?"

Xiao Fan was puzzled; when Chu Feng touched the immeasurable divine pearl earlier, the pearl's reaction had also been significant.

Therefore, Xiao Fan was curious if Chu Feng would have become the Human Emperor if not for him.

"Replying to Your Majesty… My Temple has existed for countless years and has always been secretly cultivating experts. Anyone selected by the immeasurable divine pearl is qualified to become a Divine General of my Temple. We will bestow upon them supreme Opportunity to help them become stronger… so as to resist the great calamity countless years from now…"

Hou Wanli explained…

Over these countless years, in this Secret Realm, the top ten Prodigies who finally entered the Temple all had the Opportunity to touch the immeasurable divine pearl.

Anyone recognized by the divine pearl was qualified to become a Divine General.

Thereby receiving the Cultivation Technique bestowed by the Temple, improving their strength, and preparing for the ten-thousand-year war.

"So that's how it is…" Xiao Fan nodded.

He had previously thought that if he were to deal with the Witch God Clan and the Weiyang Clan, he would have to rely solely on himself!

As it turned out, there were other backups in place.
