The System Arrives: Leading My Clan to Become the Strongest

65: Chapter 65 Cangxuan”Xie Wuchen, what have you come here for?”

Sitting upon a simple yet profound seat, Cang Xuan narrowed his eyes at the approaching Xie Wuchen and spoke.

Xie Wuchen did not answer directly; only the rhythmic ”clack, clack, clack” of his footsteps echoed through the vast, empty hall.

For a moment, the entire hall became oppressive and hollow due to the silent confrontation between the two.

”Clack.”

As his final step landed, Xie Wuchen looked directly at Cang Xuan, who was seated at the head of the hall.

”Cang Xuan, you should be well aware of my purpose here. Why bother with this?”

Xie Wuchen’s aged face remained as calm as a still well as he watched the silently seated Cang Xuan.

”Heh, your purpose? How would I know? Ever since you sealed yourself away at Star Cliff, the Human Race has endured years of wind and rain, yet you never spared a single glance. You still have the gall to come to the Human Race, to my Ancestral Court.”

Cang Xuan looked at Xie Wuchen with disdain, his voice shifting from a soft whisper to a sharp interrogation.

”I have never abandoned the Human Race.”

Xie Wuchen sighed and spoke slowly, his eyes reflecting endless thoughts.

”Heh.”

Cang Xuan merely chuckled twice, clearly unconvinced.

”I didn’t come here to argue about this. It is about to wake up. You should know that it’s nearly awake, and you should be very clear about the consequences when that happens.”

Xie Wuchen ignored Cang Xuan’s scoff and stated his purpose directly.

”Heh, so what? The Human Race will naturally handle its own affairs. There’s no need for you to trouble yourself.”

Cang Xuan spoke dismissively, as if Xie Wuchen were utterly worthless in his eyes.

”Cang Xuan, I am serious. If you keep speaking in such a sarcastic Yin and Yang manner, do you think you’ve become capable enough?”

Hearing Cang Xuan disregard the bigger picture like this, even someone as good-tempered as him could no longer hold back his anger.

”That’s right, I am capable. What can you do about it? Just crawl back to your Star Cliff; the Human Race doesn’t need your concern.”

Cang Xuan shouted back in rage, as if Xie Wuchen owed him a debt of immense proportions.

”Hmph, it seems we must settle this with a fight.”

Seeing that Cang Xuan was being stubborn, Xie Wuchen’s terrifying Aura erupted. In an instant, under this horrifying Aura, even the Ancestral Court trembled slightly as if in fear.

”You’re looking for death!”

Seeing Xie Wuchen prepare to strike, Cang Xuan could no longer restrain himself, and a similarly terrifying pressure erupted from him.

For a time, their Auras clashed, neither gaining the upper hand.

However, the commotion quickly alerted the guards outside the Ancestral Court. Seeing this scene, they immediately knew something major was happening inside.

None of them dared to hesitate as they charged inside with swords in hand.

”Wait.”

Just as they were about to move, a terrifying pressure descended, instantly trapping them as if they were in a quagmire, unable to move an inch.

”This is none of your business. Go back to what you were doing.”

The voice rang out again as an old man in green robes appeared, standing in mid-air. His eyes were fixed on the interior of the Ancestral Court, where he could clearly see the two men facing off.

”Greetings, Grand Elder.”

”Greetings, Grand Elder.”

...All the guards bowed upon seeing the old man, their expressions filled with respect.

Soon, they each returned to their posts, turning a blind eye to everything happening within the Ancestral Court.

They had been worried before, but now that the Grand Elder had spoken, they had nothing left to fear.

As the Grand Elder of the Human Ancestral Court, his strength was as unfathomable as that of the Lord of the Ancestral Court.

Since the Grand Elder said it was fine, then it was fine. Besides, with their Golden Core strength, they wouldn’t be able to help anyway if there were a real problem.

Inside the Ancestral Court, the two figures shifted and crossed positions as bursts of terrifying Spiritual Power erupted continuously.

However, both deliberately avoided damaging the structure of the Ancestral Court. Otherwise, given their strength, they would have leveled the place long ago.

Time passed slowly until finally, the two exchanged a palm strike.

”Boom!”

”Clack, clack, clack...”

Both were forced back by the impact of the strike.

”Hmph.”

At this point, Cang Xuan knew the fight could not continue. His black hair fluttered in the wind, and his young, handsome face looked at Xie Wuchen with extreme sharpness.

”Human Lord, Star Lord Wuchen.”

At that moment, the Grand Elder appeared in the hall and bowed to the two of them.

Seeing that they had no intention of continuing the fight, he knew it was his turn to step in. Without hesitation, he walked directly into the Ancestral Court.

”Grand Elder, you’ve come.”

Seeing the Grand Elder’s arrival, Cang Xuan spoke as he walked to the head seat and sat down.

”Grand Elder.”

Xie Wuchen also greeted the Grand Elder.

This Grand Elder of the Human Ancestral Court, Great Elder, was well-versed in Formations from ancient to modern times and had single-handedly maintained the Human Race’s protective barrier.

The origins of all current Formations within the Human Race could be traced back to this Grand Elder, Great Elder.

Another reason was that this Grand Elder was a figure from the same era as him, and they knew each other. However, since he had sequestered himself at Star Cliff, they hadn’t met. Now seeing each other again, they were little more than familiar strangers.

”Star Lord Wuchen, you’ve come to my Ancestral Court because it is about to wake up, isn’t that right?”

The Grand Elder looked at Xie Wuchen, his tone absolutely certain.

”Yes, it is about to wake up. When that time comes, it will be another disaster for our Human Race.”

Xie Wuchen spoke with a heavy expression.

Cang Xuan just watched the two talk below without saying a word.

He was merely annoyed with Xie Wuchen, but actually killing him was clearly impossible.

This couldn’t help but make him think of things from a long time ago.

Back then, the Human Race didn’t live in this small corner, but in another place entirely.

At that time, the Human Race was countless. With their reproductive capacity, the population could multiply several times over in just a few generations.

But that time, it woke up, and the disaster of the Human Race arrived.

As it awakened, Desolate Beasts outnumbering the Human Race appeared in their settlements.

That battle turned the sky and earth dark, obscured the sun and moon, and turned blood into oceans.

In that battle, the Human Race suffered heavy losses, leaving only women, children, and the elderly.

In that battle, the top experts of the Human Race were completely wiped out, and their former glory was never restored.

Yet even under the assault of the Human Race’s supreme experts, it remained unscathed. Seeing this, everyone’s expressions changed.

It wasn’t until later, at the final moment, that these supreme experts of the Human Race sacrificed their lives to forcibly Seal it.

But those who survived in the end were already broken and battered.

These final survivors were brought here by the Grand Elder, Xie Wuchen, and the other remaining Human Race powerhouses to carve out a place for the race to live.

However, after these remaining humans began living on this land, even with the protection of experts like the Grand Elder, they couldn’t be watched over at all times.

And in the midst of such a survival crisis for the Human Race, Xie Wuchen—one of the few remaining powerhouses—actually left the Human Race and vanished without a trace.

Without a powerhouse to watch over them, the survival of the Human Race became even more difficult.

As generations passed and the human population grew, their settlements expanded, and they began to fight the Desolate Beasts for living space.

The Human Race suffered countless losses to expand their territory. Fortunately, they reproduced quickly, and eventually, their numbers grew until people began to establish nations.

Later, more and more human experts emerged, carving out territories and establishing nations or domains.

To this day, the number of nations established by the Human Race is unknown, and the number of Families is even more countless.
