Chapter 258: Awakening Zeal, Solemn Oath

“Colossal Dragons!”

“Those are Colossal Dragons!”

“Such gigantic Colossal Dragons!”

“Oh Great God Meng Lei above! Where did all these Colossal Dragons come from? Didn’t the evil Dragons get decimated by the Great God Meng Lei?”

“Perhaps the Dragons rose from the ashes and came here to stir trouble?”

The sight of the ten Colossal Dragons in the sky caused a great stir among commoners and followers—they would never forget the sufferings they had under the Dragons’ reign.

“All half-deity Colossal Dragons!”

“Where did they come from?”

The Fairy Empire envoy, the Beast People Empire envoy, and the Titan Empire envoy were all puzzled. “Were the rumors false? Meng Lei did not annihilate the half-deities of Dragon Island?”

Just as the people were wondering, the ten Colossal Dragons halted and hovered over Mount Dragon God. Only then the crowd discovered—there weren’t just ten Colossal Dragons pulling the carriage; ten other figures were surrounding the carriage like guards.

It might not seem important to ordinary folks, but all Saint Domains, half-deities, and envoys immediately changed their expressions with thunderstorms rumbling in their hearts.

“Half-deities!”

“These were all half-deities!”

“Gosh! How can there be so many half-deities here? Just how?”

“1, 2, 3... 11 of them! 11 half-deities! Including those 10 half-deities Colossal Dragons, it would be 21 half-deities!”

“21!!”

“Unbelievable!”

The Fairy Empire envoy...

“Your Majesty, isn’t that Dark Fairy Empress Nagaros? Why would such evil heretic submit under Meng Lei?”

“I don’t know.”

The Fairy Empress raised her eyebrow slightly. The Dark Fairies were originally part of the Fairies, but they had lost their way in search of power. They had eventually degenerated into an evil race, breaking off completely from the Fairies, and they even became archnemesis.

The Fairy Empress was there to assist Meng Lei, yet she did not expect Meng Lei to collaborate with the Dark Fairies, which made her displeased.

“The Dark Fairies had always been lurking underground and lingered around. It will get trickier to deal with them now that they are under Meng Lei’s command!”

The Beast People Empire envoy...

“21 half-deities...”

A Beast Person among the envoy watched the 21 figures in the sky, squinting with a flickering gaze.

“How powerful is this guy that could subdue so many half-deities?”

“This is too scary. I just hope Horace would kill him. Or else there will be trouble!”

The Titan Empire envoy...

“Hmph! So what if there were 21 half-deities?”

The Thunder Titan Emperor looked coldly with his eyes full of jealousy. “To Lord Horace, they’re just a bunch of useless good-for-nothings that he could destroy with ease! Knave, you’ll only feel this triumphant now, you’ll know pain later!”

...

“Welcome, Master!”

Just as everyone was buzzing, the 11 escorts bowed respectfully to the dragon carriage, with their mighty voices in unison.

“Mmm.”

Bubbles hurriedly swiped open the curtain, and Meng Lei, in golden dragon robes and wearing a crown, walked out.

“It’s Great God Meng Lei!”

“It’s our Great God Meng Lei!”

“Great God Meng Lei!”

“Great God Meng Lei!”

“Great God Meng Lei!”

Upon Meng Lei’s sight, cheers erupted among the crowd as commoners and followers were in an uproar.

“That’s Meng Lei!”

The Saint Domains, half-deities, and each nations’ envoys shot their eyes on Meng Lei inexplicably.

For these past few years, Meng Lei had been the most infamous being in the Heaven’s Vault Continent.

16 years old!

Broke through to a half-deity!

Slain the Dragon God Empire’s Emperor, annihilated all half-deities of Dragon Island, eventually annexing the Dragon God Empire!

Single-handedly fought with 16 half-deities of the Titan Empire and left behind 16 corpses!

Mightily savage!

Surpassed every great from past and present!

Splendid battle record!

Unprecedented!

Who would relax at the sight of such a person?

Especially the Beast Emperor and the Fairy Emperor, who stared down Meng Lei with penetrating looks.

“Get down!”

Meng Lei swept a look across everyone and flew toward the peak of Mount Dragon God, Bubbles, and the 10 half-deities quickly followed.

These half-deities were: Puhaman, Thaniel, Bubbles, Nadja, Seisia, the Spider Goddess Rose, Dark Fairy Empress Nagaros, Giant Squid Mervyn, Alchemy Creature Pursuer, Swirling Snow Sword Saint Galen Bonaparte.

Other than Klaus, who was overseeing the Golden Archipelago, every half-deity Meng Lei had subdued was here; even the proud and defiant Spider Goddess was there without exception.

There was an altar built in front of Meng Lei’s 100,000-feet statue, and a golden throne was placed on top—that was Meng Lei’s exclusive throne.

Meng Lei sat on his throne and set his gaze upon the audience.

At the same time, everyone was looking at Meng Lei. Everyone would like to know what Meng Lei had to say at this holy moment.

With all eyes on him, Meng Lei spoke.

“A million years ago, an ordinary race was born. They were as weak as ants, living the life of savages... yet, they were ever unyielding and enterprising! Fending off beasts, overcoming extreme weathers, contesting with the sky, battling on the earth, procreating, and rising step by step to become the only master of Heaven’s Vault Continent eventually!

“This ordinary race was the humans!

“A million years ago, the Heaven’s Vault Continent was the homeland of the humans, the habitat where humans lived independently. Humans were the true masters of Heaven’s Vault Continent!

“However, fortunes are as unpredictable as the weather!

“Extraterrestrial evil deities came!

“They brought along Fairies, Titans, Beast People, Dragons. These evil deities brought their minions to the Heaven’s Vault Continent!

“They took away our lands, enslaved our ancestors, used shackles and discrimination to chain us, used a class system to reduce us to slaves... We were heavily oppressed, exploited, abused!

“They were like bloodsucking leeches, sucking away like no tomorrow. They enslaved our souls and exploited our bodies for generations!

“Until a million years later today, we were still stuck on a poor lonely island in an ocean abundant with resources!

“Until a million years later today, we were still barely surviving in the corners of this vast Heaven’s Vault Continent!

“Until a million years later today, we were still being enslaved and exploited by Fairies, Beast People, Dragons!

“Without equal treatment by the law!

“Without equal treatment on cultivation!

“Without equal treatment with resources!

“We made up 70% of the entire population of the continent, yet we had less than 1% of resources available!

“We worked our socks off, created riches with our hard labor, yet we could never get the wealth we deserved!

“Those lofty Fairies, Dragons, Beast People, and Titans didn’t need to do anything, yet they could take everything from us naturally!

“Why?

“Why should we humans be enslaved forever?

“Why should we humans stay at the bottom of the continent forever?

“Why should Titans, Dragons, Beast People, and Fairies be allowed to trample all over us humans?”

Meng Lei’s voice thundered across the sky as it resounded on the horizon and resounded deep in the hearts of everyone at the scene. The eyes of humans were red, while the envoys of each empire were dumbfounded.

“What is the exact reason for all these unequal treatments?”

Meng Lei seemed to be talking to himself and answering his own questions. He continued. “I think all of you have the answer in your minds!

“You all must be thinking about weakness! Since we humans are weak!

“We don’t have the powerful strength of the Titans!

“We don’t have the terrifying dragon breath of the Colossal Dragons!

“We don’t have the supreme magic talent of the Fairies!

“We also don’t have the superior combat abilities of the Beast People!

“Therefore, we were enslaved!

“Therefore, we were oppressed!

“Therefore, we were exploited!

“But was that the whole truth? No! Definitely not!”

Meng Lei’s voice became high-pitched suddenly as if a mighty eagle opened up its wings. “Us humans were never any worse than those four races, even stronger than them!

“We have delicate minds that are far superior to the Titans!

“We have reproductivity that is far superior to Dragons!

“We have the grit that is far superior to Fairies!

“We also have our intelligence far superior to the Beast People!

“In my opinion, the reason we were enslaved was that we did not realize the power we possess, the fact that we have never actually stood up for ourselves!

“Humans are never weak!

“We have never lacked stunning geniuses!

“We have never lacked heroes who could battle heaven and earth!

“We have never lacked enterprising pioneers!

“Hence, as long as we can recognize the power we possess, we will surely rise!

“We will surely straighten up our spines!

“We will surely overthrow any mountains that try to enslave us!

“I believe that once we humans truly stand up, Dragons and Titans are nothing to worry about, Beast People and Fairies will become our slaves!

“I believe that once we can straighten our spines, we will become masters of the Heaven’s Vault Continent once more, reclaiming the homeland that rightfully belonged to us!

“I believe that once we humans get the same amount of education, the emergence of countless Saint Domains, half-deities, and experts will be inevitable!

“I believe...”

“Stand up!!”

“Stand up!!”

“Stand up!!”

Every human in the audience had bloodshot eyes as they swung their arms and roared with all their might in unison.

The thundering noises combined for a huge uproar that went straight to the horizon. Each envoy felt chills coursing down their spines, their expressions horrified.

They knew what Meng Lei wanted to do. It was not just a simple enthronement. He wanted to awaken the zeal within humans and ignite their fighting spirit!

The human race!

If humans were allowed to rise, what kind of future beheld? No one dared to imagine!

Meng Lei raised and pressed down his hand, and the uproar stopped as if it was practiced beforehand.

“Therefore, how we stand up is the question we humans need to address urgently. What I believe is that we should first set the right mindset!

“We, humans, were never slaves of any other race!

“We, humans, were never inferior to any other race!

“We, humans, were never servants for any other races!”

“He’s right!”

“We humans were never slaves!”

“We humans were never inferior to anyone!”

“What gives them the right to enslave us?”

“We will advance dauntlessly and battle the mountains that oppressed us till the very end!”

“We will take back control of our lives and take back our wealth!”

“We will return to the Titan Plateau, to the Fairies’ Forest, to the Far Northern Wastelands, back to where our ancestors used to live!”

“We will return to the top of Heaven’s Vault Continent. We will reclaim our dominance over the continent, we will take back everything that belonged to us!”

“Return to the top of Heaven’s Vault Continent!”

“Reclaim dominance over the continent!!”

“Take back whatever was ours!!”

The people were in a frenzy as they cheered wildly with all their might, sending thundering noises across the mountain.
