Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard”
Chapter 244: Lord of the Human Race
A new Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal had been born.
This was a Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal!
There were less than a hundred such beings across the Three Realms.
Youhe Demon Venerable recalled that the last time a Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal emerged was 300 million Yuan Assemblies ago. Yet, within the most recent century, two had appeared consecutively, and both were from the Seven Stars Sect!
It was true that a significant amount of Fundamental Law Energy related to the stars had emerged some time ago, but that energy was merely a ticket to proving one's Dao. Actually nurturing a true Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal required a vast amount of time, with a high probability of failure, like drawing water with a sieve.
The emergence of two new Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortals was an exceptionally rare event across the Three Realms!
Now, the strength and influence of the Seven Stars Sect had grown immensely and would significantly impact the situation within the Three Realms.
Youhe Demon Venerable decided it was necessary to ease tensions with the Immortal Realm somewhat while secretly trying to win over the Seven Stars Sect. The future landscape was no longer clear.
Su Yuan spoke with gratification, "Congratulations on proving your Dao and attaining the Primordial Great Luo realm, stepping into the ranks of the mighty experts from now on."
Tuoba Zisheng stepped forward and patted Taishi Bei on the shoulder, "Well done!"
Taishi Bei was also of the Human race. With this, the Human race had gained another mighty expert.
The Golden Fur King felt a heavy weight in his heart;
the number of mighty experts among the Human race was now double that of the Demon race.
Su Yuan cupped his hands towards the crowd, "One Yuan Assembly from now, the Seven Stars Sect will host a celebration ceremony. Fellow Daoists, please attend as our guests!"
Yuan Shui Heavenly Venerable looked deeply at Su Yuan and said, "The Celestial Court will attend!"
Youhe Demon Venerable also indicated he would participate, then bid farewell and departed;
he needed to continue his secluded cultivation to comprehend the laws.
The others all agreed one by one, and then they all left.
Only the members of the Seven Stars Sect remained, returning inside the sect.
Su Yuan handed fourteen specially made tokens to the fourteen Grand Elders.
"These are the Grand Elder tokens of the Seven Stars Sect. I have solidified a world teleportation function within them. You can use these tokens to teleport freely to and from the Immortal, Netherworld, and Demon Realms!"
"Grand Elders of the Seven Stars Sect don't have any specific duties. You may arrange your time as you wish. If I have a need, I will summon you," Su Yuan said to everyone.
Xiahou Chuanqi understood, "I need to make a trip to the Human ancestral homeland."
"Go ahead," Su Yuan nodded.
After bidding farewell to Su Yuan, Xiahou Chuanqi used the Grand Elder token to perform a world teleportation.
When he reappeared, he was already in the Immortal Realm, having arrived directly at the Human race's ancestral homeland.
Xiahou Chuanqi's holy sense swept out, and the entire situation within the ancestral homeland entered his view. Then, an expression of anger appeared on his face.
"It has truly fallen into such a weakened state!" Xiahou Chuanqi sighed.
He shook his head and entered the Human Sacred Mountain.
He had originally been a member of the Sacred Mountain, so its restrictions offered no defense against him.
After he took control of the Sacred Mountain, he used his Primordial means to resurrect the remains of the Human sages resting within it.
A vast number of cultivators awoke and returned from their endless slumber. The strength of the Human race increased by a significant margin out of thin air.
The Human race was rising!
Su Yuan silently observed this scene. Initially, he wasn't particularly surprised;
with the return of the Human mighty experts, the rise of the Human race was inevitable.
But suddenly, he discovered that another type of luck was beginning to gather upon him.
Su Yuan looked up in astonishment. Beside the twelve-petaled purple lotus, a golden lotus had appeared at some unknown time.
"Human race luck?"
Su Yuan exclaimed in surprise.
Under his gaze, the Human race luck above his head gathered more and more, gradually rising to the level of a ten-petaled golden lotus, and it was still slowly increasing.
Countless voices rang in Su Yuan's ears;
he seemed to see countless scenes of the Human race.
"The mighty experts of the Human race have returned! Hahaha, finally, finally the Human race is rising! Ten mighty experts! It seems they were all brought back by the Seven Stars Dao Sovereign! Thank you, Seven Stars Dao Sovereign!"
"Is the Seven Stars Dao Sovereign the leader of the Human race now? The nine mighty experts are all under his command!"
"The Seven Stars Sect is too impressive! I met people from the Seven Stars Sect before;
they even invited me to join. I actually refused! Is it too late to join now?"
"O great Seven Stars Dao Sovereign, please bless my wife to give birth to a child with spiritual root talent!"
Innumerable thoughts were being transmitted towards him, and immense amounts of luck were converging upon him.
Within his luck, a status representing the position of the Human Dao between Heaven and Earth was gradually condensing.
[Common Lord of the Human Race]!
Su Yuan was struck dumb, never expecting that through a series of coincidences, he had become the Common Lord of the Human Race across the Three Realms!
Thinking about it carefully, it really was the case.
Currently, the Human race was weak. Its strongest forces were the ten Primordial mighty experts, followed by tens of thousands of Great Luo Golden Immortals.
Among the over 60,000 Great Luo Golden Immortals he had brought out, more than 50,000 were Human.
And all these forces were now within the Seven Stars Sect, all under his command!
Thus, eighty to ninety percent of the entire Human race's strength revered him as their leader. With a bit of external promotion, his status as the Common Lord of the Human Race was a natural and logical outcome!
The identity of [Common Lord of the Human Race] granted Su Yuan a certain degree of control over the Human race;
he could influence their destiny now!
Su Yuan raised an eyebrow and looked towards the Big Dipper!
With a single thought, he made a decision.
[Decree]: The Big Dipper is hereby designated as the natal stars of the Human race. Upon birth, Humans shall receive the blessings of the Seven Stars!
The Big Dipper suddenly erupted with astonishing radiance, countless starlights showering the Three Realms with endless brilliance.
Streaks of starlight tore through space, descending upon every member of the Human race.
"My leg! My leg has grown back!"
"Haha, I broke through!"
"I can hear sounds!"
One after another, members of the Human race looked up in astonishment, then immediately knelt and bowed towards the Big Dipper in the sky.
"We kowtow and thank the supreme Seven Stars Dao Sovereign!"
Mysteriously, all the blessed Human beings knew where the blessing came from—it was a boon from the Human mighty expert, the [Seven Stars Dao Sovereign]!
Countless Humans were overjoyed, and their recognition of the Seven Stars Dao Sovereign rose to an extremely high level.
A woman was giving birth;
just as the child was born, all the family members saw the Yao Guang star within the Big Dipper in the sky descend a ray of starlight, bestowing a blessing upon the child.
The entire family was ecstatic, kneeling together towards the Big Dipper in the sky.
Su Yuan felt that the newly condensed [Common Lord of the Human Race] status instantly solidified many times over!
The original ten-petaled golden lotus also leaped directly to the level of an eleven-petaled golden lotus!
With the Human Dao luck reinforcing himself, Su Yuan felt his path of cultivation had become much smoother, and his comprehension of the laws had also become much easier.
"I never expected such an unexpected gain. It's difficult for a Common Lord of the Human Race to emerge because the core forces of the Human race are usually divided into numerous factions, each ruling their own territory."
Su Yuan shook his head with a wry smile, "But now, the external Human race is weak. Those factions in the Human ancestral homeland are utterly insignificant compared to the batch of Human great supernatural power users and mighty experts I brought out wholesale. It's equivalent to directly parachuting in a super-sized faction."
"Thus, him occupying the position of Common Lord of the Human Race was practically a matter of course!"
Su Yuan's eyes flickered. He suddenly remembered what Xuanyuan Bu'er had said before: not a single person had obtained the inheritance of the Human race's [Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors]. Could it be because those who previously entered the inheritance site were not the [Common Lord of the Human Race]?
That might very well be the case. To obtain the inheritance, one must be the [Common Lord of the Human Race]. But under normal circumstances, a [Common Lord of the Human Race] would not enter the Primordial Isle to battle. Thus, it was basically impossible for anyone to obtain the inheritance of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors!
Thinking of this, Su Yuan's mind immediately became active.
Inside the Primordial Isle.
Xuanyuan Bu'er was still staring blankly at the world that had become much emptier, sighing leisurely, "From now on, it'll just be me alone!"
"That might not necessarily be the case!" Su Yuan's voice sounded out of thin air.
Xuanyuan Bu'er was startled and immediately turned to look.
He saw Su Yuan, who had left not long ago, had reappeared!
"How did you get back in!" Xuanyuan Bu'er exclaimed in shock.
"Since I can teleport out, naturally I can teleport back in?" Su Yuan said very matter-of-factly.
"Then can you bring people in too?" Xuanyuan Bu'er asked again.
"Of course!" Su Yuan nodded.
The corner of Xuanyuan Bu'er's mouth twitched, "Why didn't you say so earlier? Then what was the point of me staying behind here!"
Hearing this, Su Yuan exclaimed in surprise, "I thought you didn't want to leave the Primordial Isle! I was even moved by your spirit of perseverance!"
"I..." Xuanyuan Bu'er wanted to curse, but at that moment, he felt a certain power influencing him, preventing the foul language from leaving his mouth.
Xuanyuan Bu'er's pupils constricted. He suddenly saw a golden phantom of a Human race great seal above Su Yuan's head, radiating supreme majesty, forcing his words to choke in his throat.
"This is the [Common Lord of the Human Race]!" Xuanyuan Bu'er said, dumbfounded.
Su Yuan also nodded, "That's right. It was an accident;
I didn't expect to gain this identity."
Xuanyuan Bu'er looked deeply at Su Yuan. Only then did he understand why Su Yuan's conditions had seemed so simple;
his true aim was the authority of the [Common Lord of the Human Race].
Thinking about it carefully made it clear. If what Su Yuan said was accurate, and the external Human race was currently weak, then the force Su Yuan brought out would instantly occupy the dominant position within the Human race. Since they became Su Yuan's subordinates, didn't that mean Su Yuan became the [Common Lord of the Human Race]?
Xuanyuan Bu'er said solemnly, "Xuanyuan Bu'er pays his respects to the Common Lord of the Human Race!"
Su Yuan waved his hand, "No need for formalities. Do you want to leave now? I can give you a Seven Stars Sect Grand Elder token. It has a world teleportation function, including coordinates for inside the Primordial Isle. You can teleport back anytime!"
The corner of Xuanyuan Bu'er's mouth twitched again. He had made such a righteous and solemn stand to stay, even speaking many words to Xiahou Chuanqi as if entrusting his final wishes. Now, to turn around and leave the Primordial Isle immediately... how utterly awkward would that be?
Xiahou Chuanqi would probably laugh at him for the rest of his life!
"What? You don't want to? Then I'll..."
"I do! I do! I do! Now, send me away immediately! Since you've already become the Common Lord of the Human Race! There's no need for me to guard this place anymore! You can arrange for it!" Xuanyuan Bu'er said immediately.
