Chapter 1966: Chapter 1236: So Many Heroes

In the New Era, Ancient Martial Arts emerged, producing a great number of strong individuals. Though their lifespans were short, each possessed astonishing combat power, dominating the world.

It was through their efforts that the Human Race rose in the New Era, becoming the protagonist of heaven and earth, the strongest race in the Prehistoric World in the shortest time.

Their might even surpassed that of the Witch and demon two clans of the past, and even the newly resurgent primordial three tribes dared not challenge the Human Race.

After all, the time required for practicing Ancient Martial Arts was too short. While others might not achieve immortality even in a thousand years, Ancient Martial Artists had already reached the levels of Dao Monarch or even Taoist Master.

“The changes in the Prehistoric World are truly great.”

Retracting his gaze from the Human Race, Jiang Chen looked towards the Four Extremes, where the long-declined primordial three tribes showed signs of resurgence.

The primordial three tribes had indeed become stronger, as with the reshaping of heaven and earth, the Five Elements Holy Beasts finally freed themselves from their binds, regaining their freedom.

With the Five Elements Holy Beasts holding the fort, the strength of the primordial three tribes naturally underwent earth-shattering changes, once again becoming a dominant force in the Prehistoric World.

However, due to the presence of Ancient Martial Arts among the Human Race, the resurgent primordial three tribes were not the greatest threat to them.

Besides the primordial three tribes, there were many dominant forces in the Prehistoric World, like the Witch Clan dominating the Netherworld, the primordial species traversing the North Sea, and the Buddhist door rooted in the West.

The Witch Clan and Buddhist door were old forces in the Prehistoric World, nothing much to say about them. But the heavenly and earthly species dominating the North Sea were a power that suddenly rose in the New Era.

It could not be said they suddenly rose, it was more like the Kunpeng elder had stirred things up again.

Seeing that there was no longer any possibility for the ancient demon clan to rise again, the Kunpeng elder was not overly attached, directly starting anew, uniting the heavenly and earthly species of the North Sea, declaring to heaven and earth the founding of the heterogeneous lineage.

The heavenly and earthly species were anomalies formed from the mixing of the primordial source of the Prehistoric World and the demon god’s essence blood.

Born powerful, their bodies were comparable to fierce beasts, their wisdom comparable to the Innate Divine Demons, each of them extremely formidable. It could even be said they were fierce beasts with intelligence.

The heavenly and earthly species were indeed extraordinary, but precisely because of their extraordinary nature, they were under a prohibition from the Heavenly Dao. Despite having strong physiques and high talent, their probability of transforming was exceedingly slim.

Only the outstanding among them, like the Kunpeng elder, figures of influence and protagonists of the era, had the qualification to transform.

In the Prehistoric World, whether or not one could transform was two completely different concepts. Only by transforming could one possess an Innate Dao body, thus accelerating one’s cultivation speed.

If they could not transform, then no matter how high their talent, burdened by their original forms, their cultivation speed would become extremely slow.

This is why, despite the Fusang Tree and Laurel Tree being top-notch Innate Spirit Roots, their strength could not compare to Di Jun Taiyi and the others, though their foundations were not inferior.

Because without transformation, they might not achieve in a thousand years what the Innate Saints could in a year. This disparity of over a thousand times was enough to widen the gap between them.

In the Old Era, limited by heaven and earth, the heavenly and earthly species were unable to transform, thus despite being inherently powerful, they could not become a great force, and hence were not well-known.

But in the New Era, as the heavenly limitations were heightened, these heavenly and earthly species finally gained the possibility of transformation.

With this opportunity, their potential could be unleashed, and coupled with the leadership of a strong figure like the Kunpeng elder, they naturally rose rapidly, becoming a dominant force in the Prehistoric World.

“The Prehistoric World is getting more interesting, with the rise of the heavenly and earthly species, the hope for the revival of the ancient demon clan seems even more remote.”

Jiang Chen understood that since the Kunpeng elder chose to abandon the demon clan and establish the heterogeneous lineage.

His bond with the ancient demon clan was entirely severed; even if they did not fight upon meeting, it could only be considered restraint on both sides.

The demon clan would inevitably see the Kunpeng elder as a traitor, and clearly, the Kunpeng elder had no intention of returning to the demon clan or being subservient to others. Even if he wanted to, his followers would not allow it.

Therefore, the future opposition between the heterogeneous lineage and the ancient demon clan was foreseeable.

“In the Old Era, the heavenly and earthly species, due to being covered in treasures, were constantly hunted by cultivators. Now that they have the chance to transform and become a dominant force of heaven and earth, they will surely settle past debts in the days to come.”

“It seems the future of the Prehistoric World is bound to see a long period of bloodshed and wars.”

Jiang Chen’s gaze turned to the North Sea, silently watching the newly established heterogeneous lineage.

With his current cultivation, even without deliberately using his divine abilities, just a glance towards the North Sea revealed the futures of these heterogeneous species to Jiang Chen.

He saw infinite blood rain, and endless wars and slaughter. This war would last for a prolonged period, causing countless living beings to die tragically, their blood would dye most of the North Sea red.

This was the vengeance of the heavenly and earthly species, repaying with endless slaughter and immortal energy for the cultivators who had slaughtered them for countless years.

This action could not be described in terms of justice or otherwise; it was simply the cycle of reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao. The cause of the past, the result of today, what the heavenly and earthly species did was not unreasonable.

Therefore, even though Jiang Chen saw such a future, he had no intention to stop it.

The killings and disputes in the world cannot be forbidden, not even by the Heavenly Dao.
