Chapter 738: Chapter 396: Slaying the Serpent, Return to the Divine Land (Part 4)
For now, there isn’t any Chaos Origin; the current stock is running low.
However, a strand of Chaos Origin can be condensed every ten years, and after a thousand years, there will be excess to distribute.
Six months later, Su Yu left Qingchan to nurture her pregnancy at home and set off alone from Zhongyuan Mountain towards the northeast of the Divine Land, planning to meet his parents at his elder brother’s place.
This time, he didn’t make a grand return but went home quietly, calling only his elder brother’s family and his sixth brother, Su Ling’s family.
He stayed home for a month to understand the current situation of the family.
His elder brother did not establish his own guild but adopted a family model, joining a large local guild, while his children apprenticed in a major local sect.
Over the years, with the occasional support from the second brother’s side, resources have been abundant.
His parents, elder brother, and sister-in-law are still at Foundation Establishment Cultivation, with levels quite high at around 180 but are nearly impossible to reach Core Formation due to aptitude constraints.
His sixth brother is better off, having already reached Core Formation, and married the granddaughter of a direct descendant of a Celestial Immortal elder from his sect, living quite prosperously.
Su Yu also left them some destiny-altering treasures, similar to what he gave to Qingchan’s parents, lacking Chaos Origin but enough to ensure their ascendance to immortality.
After becoming immortals, there’s nothing more to say; as long as there are no accidents, they can be elevated to Profound Immortals by accumulation alone.
Whether they can progress further is uncertain; a strand of Chaos Origin guarantees becoming a Profound Immortal, but reaching Golden Immortal depends on the lineage, as well as one’s ability and fortune.
But being a Profound Immortal is already quite commendable; what more could one ask for if they could win effortlessly?
After staying home for a month, Su Yu began to handle official matters, directly communicating with Marshal Li Yan stationed at the Human Race headquarters:
"Mr. Li, I have an important matter concerning the development of our race that requires convening a Supreme Expanded Meeting. I ask for your help in gathering all the experts in the military to attend."
Li Yan didn’t agree immediately, but instead asked:
"The Supreme Expanded Meeting has a very high priority, and all strong individuals in the military must attend if they can, which will affect many people. Can you tell me exactly what’s going on, and I’ll decide whether to convene it or not."
Su Yu didn’t answer, but instead asked:
"Where are you, Mr. Li? I’ll come to discuss it in detail with you."
"I’m at Three Emperors Mountain."
"I’ll be there shortly."
Three Emperors Mountain is where the Human Supreme Council headquarters is located, representing the ancient Three Emperors of humanity: Celestial Emperor Fuxi, Earth Emperor Shennong, and Human Emperor Xuanyuan.
It is said that there is a Daluo Golden Immortal backing each race, such as the Wood Race’s creator is the Aoki Venerable.
The Half-Spirit People are backed by the Daluo Tianling Patriarch.
The Snake-man are backed by what seems to be the Lamp-Burning Ancient Buddha.
In fact, humanity also has mighty beings backing them, namely the ancient Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns.
However, the Human Race is too powerful and deeply rooted, naturally being targeted by the grand figures behind other races working together. Su Yu learned from his senior brothers and sisters that since the start of the era of calamity, the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns have been blocked by the great figures of various races at Fire Cloud Palace, unable to come out.
But on the other hand, it seems the Three Sages are being blocked inside, but perhaps the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns are actually restraining all the powerful beings of the other races at Fire Cloud Palace.
Located in the very center of the Divine Land, Three Emperors Mountain is an unremarkable peak, less than ten thousand meters high, lacking Spirit Vein at its base, and is inconspicuous among the surrounding mountains.
The reason it became a sacred land for the Human Race is that when human civilization first crossed to the other side, this was the birthplace of the first human.
Infused with the Human Dao destiny, if other races enter this area, they will be suppressed by the collective Human Dao power of the entire Human Race. Those below the Celestial Immortal level can hardly move, Celestial Immortals are weakened to the point of being unable to defeat even an ordinary Golden Core, and other ranks typically experience a downgrade of one major realm.
If civilization were to decline and all territories were occupied by foreign races, leading to most companions perishing in battle, the Human Dao suppression would be significantly weakened.
Hence, the reason why different races do not directly target and destroy the cores of each race but instead meticulously eliminate populations and territories step by step is mainly due to this reason.
Upon reaching the Three Emperors Mountain area, Su Yu immediately sensed the presence of the Human Dao, as well as a natural affinity towards it.
