Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Chapter 1777: Chapter 1745: Human Race Powerhouses

This is a grey, misty space.

There is neither heaven nor earth, no up or down, resembling the scene when the world first opened, or the place close to the legendary Immortal Realm above the Nine Heavens.

Jiang Ding instinctively wandered within, heading in one direction.

After an unknown period, an ancient and austere stone tablet appeared before him, engraved with various scenes of twelve different Human Emperors being crowned. Even older histories existed but were vague and blurred, unable to pierce the veils of history.

The invisible yet terrifying power of the Heavenly Dao Oath resided in this ancient stone tablet.

”Heavenly Dao Oath...”

Jiang Ding’s expression changed slightly, feeling a tinge of retreat.

From his view, the power of this Heavenly Dao Oath had no upper limit; it could bind even the Supreme, and even a True God might not easily break free.

If handled properly, even making a Supreme a servant was possible!

If that were true, he would rather not engage with it.

The Human Race is powerful, its heritage incredibly strong, but internally, it is also extremely cold and cruel; those misled by the warmth of kin do not even know how they died.

However, the expected Heavenly Dao Cause and Effect restraint did not arrive.

”Human?”

The ancient stone tablet sent out a thought, hoping Jiang Ding would repeat it in his mind.

Are you human?

Nothing else was asked, no demand for submission, allegiance, nor even loyalty to the Human Race; even if you were a spy for an Alien Race, it didn’t matter.

It simply asked,

Are you human?

Existence is everything.

Everything is existence.

Betraying the Human Race is fine, as long as you live, the Human Race exists; after all, the Human Race has been subjugated countless times throughout history, not inherently powerful, and there’s no shame in surviving.

Ancestors once served others like dogs; what’s wrong with this young generation doing the same?

Who doesn’t have a past?

Just be strong enough, and betrayal will do.

Strong enough and not betray?

Impossible, if you are human, then you cannot be so honest.

Such a simple requirement left Jiang Ding slightly stunned.

The Human Race sages seemed to have a strong ’decentralization’ thought, believing a unified authoritative Human Race is not ideal.

Except when a Human Emperor suppresses everything, the Human Race is naturally divided and mutually destructive, which is vital, providing life force and the future for the race.

One of the Human Race’s supreme sanctuaries, the Ten Thousand Laws Celestial Pivot, is like this, not attempting to construct a tightly organized Human Race.

Theoretically, it can be done.

Even without a Human Emperor in the world, through strict laws, Heavenly Dao Oaths, and numerous supreme Human artifacts, a tightly organized Human system can be constructed.

If such a vast and terrifying organization existed, the lives of the Endless Starry Sky Human Race would be much better.

Though, not necessarily.

But at least, the days for the strong among them would improve significantly.

Unfortunately, the Human Race sages were too lazy to do so.

Without a Human Emperor who can suppress all, such an organization is merely a coalition of the weak, utterly meaningless, and this meaningless Human organization might even hinder the birth of a Human Emperor, producing adverse effects instead.

The Human Race sages understood it this way.

Indeed, in past histories, some other Human Race sages attempted alternative paths, establishing an everlasting Human Divine Dynasty, but ultimately it collapsed.

The Human Race has deeply ingrained rebelliousness, never having an inherent sense of loyalty to a particular bloodline.

In the Divine Dynasty, a prince or royal descendant, if losing power, would lose life as well.

”Human?”

The ancient stone tablet, not receiving a response for a long time, sent out another thought.

The surrounding grey misty space began to show signs of transparency; if the ancient stone tablet didn’t receive a response, it would disappear from here, rejecting this being’s entry.

Of course, this is only one step of multiple verifications.

If not for detecting in advance that the being in front is a qualified adult Human Race with political rights, the Ten Thousand Laws Celestial Pivot would not have opened initially.

Indeed.

For the Endless Starry Sky Dominator Human Clan, the Four Steps Limit Sword Soul counts as adulthood, having political rights and duties of warring.

Actually, even among the Supreme who haven’t unified the Great Thousand World, it exists, but due to the personal preference of the previous Human Emperor, only beings with the Four Steps Limit regulation fine-tuned and those who unified the Great Thousand World are eligible to engage in Human Race governance; in the era of the previous Human Divine Dynasty, various commands were issued to these beings, and then executed.

”Human.”

”I am human.”

Jiang Ding spoke solemnly.

It requires no hesitation, much less a binding; he is a human, born as a human, inherently standing on the position and interests of Human Dao.

”You are human.”

The ancient and austere stone tablet repeated once and slowly disappeared.

The hazy chaotic space before him started to transform and boil again; countless Grey Fog appeared and submerged, with things before him gradually becoming clear.

This was a pitch-black and tranquil starry sky.

Around intertwining star tracks, stars rose and disappeared one by one; each star rising from the star track is a terrifying strongman, and now these strongmen gathered together.

Here, the stars are relatively sparse, only numbering in the hundreds.

Jiang Ding’s breath hitched.

Hundreds.

This meant there existed hundreds of Human Race Supreme and Human Race Four Steps Limit Taoist disciples here!

”Underestimated the people of the world.”

”Heroes worldwide, really like the carp crossing rivers, talents emerge in every generation...”

Jiang Ding sighed, the pride and complacency rising in his heart dissipated.

He knew, this wasn’t all the strongmen of the Human Race.

In an era lacking a Human Emperor, no being can gather all Human Race strongmen at the Ten Thousand Laws Celestial Pivot; there are always various matters to attend to, cultivate in seclusion, and engage in battles, not remaining in the Ten Thousand Laws Celestial Pivot year-round.

Jiang Ding continued to gaze towards the center.

The center surrounded by numerous star tracks and stars was a Crystal Divine Throne shrouded in Chaos Qi.

This throne was constructed with a seven-layered inverted crystal pyramid, each layer inscribed with Ancient Star Patterns corresponding to the Beidou Seven Stars, its base a shattered nebula vortex with an internal Chaos Star Map composed of three hundred sixty Magic Stars, exuding a suffocating pressure that could curse to death a Supreme from leagues away with a star’s emergence.

During the era of the Human Divine Dynasty, the Human Emperor’s God Army, armed with Magic Stars bestowed by the Human Emperor, crossed the Endless Starry Sky, suppressing internal rebellions and slaughtering rioting Alien Races, unbeatable.

At the Human Emperor’s Throne to the east lay the Sui Dragon, to the west resided the Cangjie Bird, on the southern stairs swam the River Map Turtle, and to the north, in the shadow, lay the Xuanyuan Sword Shadow, the Four Spirits guarding the Human Emperor.

At this moment, beneath Jiang Ding, a star track lit up, supporting him, transforming into a star, flying towards numerous star tracks.

This star spiraled around the star track several times, then approached the Xuanyuan Sword Shadow, gradually stabilizing and fixing on the Xuanyuan Sword Shadow Star Track, renowned for fighting and killing for the Human Emperor.

This was a new star, emitting an entirely different aura.

Many strongmen of the Human Race cast their gaze here.
