Chapter 3326: Gathering of the Ten Thousand Races
The moment the Space Time Forbidden Ground opened, a spatial node appeared in the various regions that could allow Dao Hegemony realm experts to enter.
The spatial node in the Southwest Region was near Mount Xuan Pin.
In the past few days, many Dao Supremacy, Major Supremacy and even Paramount Supremacy experts of the 36 Grotto-heavens and 72 Blessed Grounds had gathered here with a huge commotion.
There were hundreds of Paramount Supremacy experts of the human race alone.
Through this spatial node, the scene in the Space Time Forbidden Ground could be reflected nearby. Therefore, many Dao Supremacy and Major Supremacy experts ran over as well, prepared to witness the moment a human synthesized with the Dao to become a Saint.
After all, this was a rare opportunity for them and would be a most precious experience.
However, due to the Mountain Chief’s obstruction, the Paramount Supremacies of the human race did not enter for a long time even after the Space Time Forbidden Ground was opened up.
“This time round, the Space Time Sanctuary released the news that the forbidden ground is open to the ten thousand races. That naturally includes the human race too. Why does the Mountain Chief want us to give up?”
“That’s right. That Space Time Forbidden Ground is the Life Sanctuary of the human race to begin with. Why can’t we humans head there?”
“What is the Mountain Chief worried about?”
The Mountain Chief stayed at Mount Xuan Pin all year round and was carefree, secluded and aloof.
However, most of the human experts of the 36 Grotto-heavens and 72 Blessed Grounds had received the teachings of the Mountain Chief and were extremely respectful to him.
Only, now that the opportunity to become a Saint was right in front of them, the human experts were truly unwilling to give up and could not understand the Mountain Chief’s intentions.
The Mountain Chief sighed gently. “The opening of the forbidden ground by the Space Time Sanctuary this time round attracted the Paramount Supremacies of the ten thousand races. At that time, there might be hundreds of thousands of Paramount Supremacies in the Life Sanctuary!”
After entering the Dao Hegemony realm, one’s lifespan was 10 billion years.
In this long period of time, even the weakest races would give birth to paragons and monster incarnates who would eventually become Paramount Supremacies.
For some powerful races, there might be dozens or even hundreds of Paramount Supremacies.
This was a gathering of the Paramount Supremacies of the ten thousand races. The Mountain Chief was not exaggerating when he said that there would be hundreds of thousands of them!
The Mountain Chief said, “The hundreds of thousands of Paramount Supremacy experts are all overlords of various places. With so many of them gathered, there will be too many variables and there’s a high chance that things will go out of control.”
“You have to know that there’s a limit to the number of Great Dao Saint Positions left. Among the hundreds of thousands of Paramount Supremacies, many of them will cultivate the same Great Dao and there’s a high chance that conflicts will break out between them.”
Once someone became the Saint of a Great Dao, all other cultivators who cultivate the same Great Dao would no longer stand a chance.
Therefore, Paramount Supremacies who cultivated the same Great Dao would be hostile to one another.
If it was in the major chiliocosm and they merely reigned over their respective territories, there might not be fights given the many restrictions.
However, the possibility of a conflict would increase greatly with so many Paramount Supremacies gathered in a forbidden ground!
A Paramount Supremacy of the human race said, “Apart from the various Sanctuaries, the number of Paramount Supremacies of the human race can definitely be ranked first among the ten thousand races.”
“Even if a huge battle breaks out, we humans won’t lose to them!”
“That’s right! The reason why the status of the human race hasn’t been high all these years is because we don’t have any Saints. However, below the Saint realm, the human race is not inferior to any race!”
“In a fair fight for the Great Dao Saint Positions, I believe that we humans will definitely have a better chance in the Life Sanctuary!”
The Life Sanctuary was once a Sanctuary of the human race after all.
In this Sanctuary, the human race would definitely be augmented by various providences and it would be easier for them to break through to the Saint realm.
The Mountain Chief gave a bitter smile. “That’s precisely the reason why it’s easier for you guys to be targeted by everyone in the Life Sanctuary.”
Instantly, the hearts of the human Paramount Supremacies skipped a beat as they understood the reason.
In the Life Sanctuary, it was easier for humans to become Saints. This also meant that the chances of other races becoming Saints were even lower.
That way, it was easy to arouse the hostility of other races!
The commotion in the crowd gradually disappeared.
The human experts present had lived for more than a billion or even billions of years and could naturally understand the danger.
After a long silence, the atmosphere was a little oppressive.
Finally, someone said, “Are we going to give up just like that?”
“The path of cultivation is long. After enduring for so many years, this has been the only opportunity. Not only is there a vacancy for a Great Dao Saint Position, I can even head to the Sanctuary of the human race. I don’t want to give up!”
“Although that’s a Sanctuary of the human race, we’ve never stepped foot in it.”
“Why should we retreat in the face of the Sanctuary of the human race? They should be the ones avoiding us!”
“Even if it’s extremely dangerous, I want to give it a try!”
“If a human can become a Saint, I can rest in peace even if I disintegrate into the Dao and die. As long as a Saint is born in the human race, we will have hope and a future!”
The tones of the human Paramount Supremacies were impassioned and their eyes shone with determination.
The Mountain Chief shook his head and sighed deeply.
There were 36 Grotto-heavens and 72 Blessed Grounds. To be precise, almost none of the humans in the southwest had experienced the turmoil of the past.
Furthermore, they had never witnessed the tragic sight of Saints being slain like weed being mowed!
More than six billion years ago, there were 3,000 Saints of the human race and they were the leader of the ten thousand races. However, so what?
But, when the Mountain Chief saw the gazes of the Paramount Supremacies of the human race, he knew that it was useless no matter how he persuaded them.
The fighting spirit and grit emitted by these humans moved him as well and he was filled with emotions.
Compared to them, he was like a stoic old man on the verge of death.
“Everyone, farewell!”
Hundreds of Paramount Supremacies looked at the large group of humans near Mount Xuan Pin and waved gently. Thereafter, they bowed deeply to the Mountain Chief and charged towards the spatial node without turning back.
Looking at the departing figures of the Paramount Supremacies, the Mountain Chief sighed once more.
Right now, it was supposed to be time for his afternoon nap.
However, at that moment, the Mountain Chief had no intention of leaving. Instead, he stood here and looked at the scene of the Space Time Forbidden Ground reflected in the void with many human experts.
The fisherman, woodcutter, farmer and cook who were originally doing their chores also came to the Mountain Chief’s side.
More than six billion years ago, they had already followed the Mountain Chief. Over the years, they had long put down their weapons and only enjoyed the joy of the natural countryside.
The four of them had no intention of entering the Space Time Forbidden Ground this time round.
When he saw the Mountain Chief’s worried expression, the fisherman said, “Mountain Chief, don’t worry. As long as the hundreds of human Paramount Supremacies are gathered, not many races can go against them.”
“It won’t be easy for the ten thousand races to join forces with one another. Unless…”
The woodcutter was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly paused.
The burly cook guessed the concerns of the woodcutter. “Even if people from the Sanctuaries interfere, the people of the Four Paths won’t sit back and do nothing, right?”
The Mountain Chief shook his head. “Once Paramount Supremacies of the Four Paths leave the 33 Heavens and enter the Life Sanctuary, the Paramount Supremacies of the Saint race from the five Sanctuaries will definitely lead the ten thousand races to surround and kill them.”
“The Fiend Lord and Evil Lady can naturally tell as well. They definitely won’t let Paramount Supremacies of the Four Paths participate.”
The fisherman seemed to be in deep thought. “If the Four Paths sit by idly, they can only watch as Saints are born from the ten thousand races. These Saints will join the five Sanctuaries and turn against the Four Paths.”
“This can be considered an open scheme of the five Sanctuaries.”
The farmer looked at the many figures in the Space Time Forbidden Ground and murmured, “I hope they can return safely.”
