Three Human Juniors Pointed At Casually Turn Out to Be the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors!

Li Yuan and Xuandu exchanged a glance, their expressions extremely ugly.

The human race was weak—they had been saying this the entire journey.

They hadn't expected to return to the human race and immediately encounter such a situation.

"It seems the human race is in trouble. We have achieved cultivation, so let us hurry over and lend a hand."

Li Yuan led the group, following the source of the sound as they rushed over.

The Southern Earth Detaching Flame Light Flag had already been summoned by Li Yuan, and just as he was about to strike—

His entire imposing aura suddenly dissipated. He stared at the scene before him, utterly dumbfounded.

Even Xuandu and the few junior brothers following close behind were equally bewildered.

In the end, it was the usually silent Kong Xuan who couldn't help but speak.

"Senior Brother, didn't you say the human race was weak?"

"Then why do I see them chasing after demonic beasts?"

Before them was a massive Tiger Demon, its aura radiating at the early Mystic Immortal stage.

The Tiger Demon's face showed a human-like expression of terror.

Twin plumes of breath shot from its nostrils as it fled in panic.

It kept looking back, as if something terrifying was hunting it.

Behind it, three figures raced forward, wooden spears in hand.

"Don't run, don't run, don't run! Any prey that catches the human race's eye has never escaped!"

Shua! Shua! Shua!

The three wooden spears were crudely forged from Primordial Spiritual Roots.

But in the hands of these three human Mystic Immortals, their killing power against this Tiger Demon was naturally obvious.

Puchi—!!!

The three wooden spears pierced through the Tiger Demon's abdomen in an instant. A tremendous force pinned the Tiger Demon to the ground, blood gushing out.

The three pursuers roared in unison.

"Hold it, slit its throat, go!"

One stepped up to withstand the Tiger Demon's assault, one directly sought its weak point to slit its throat, and one kept watch around them.

The early Mystic Immortal Tiger Demon was hunted this simply.

As it died, the Tiger Demon couldn't help but wail.

"Damn you two-legged beasts, damn you terrifying upright apes!"

Li Yuan watched this scene, utterly stunned.

"Bro, aren't you guys monster hunters?"

Xuandu likewise sucked in a cold breath, his brow deeply furrowed.

The way this story was unfolding didn't seem to match what he had imagined.

Li Yuan scratched his head awkwardly, thinking to himself.

"So all those Primordial Era novels I read in my past life were for nothing?"

"Shouldn't it be the human race being slaughtered by the Demon Race, and us making a cool entrance to save them?"

Their auras were not concealed, and the three humans immediately sensed them.

The burly man at the lead pulled out his spear and barked coldly.

"Who's there, skulking around? Come out if you've got the guts!"

Li Yuan was originally of human descent, so there was no need to hide. He revealed himself directly.

"Daoist friend, This Daoist is Li Yuan of the human race, now a disciple under Taiqing Saint, recently returned to the human race."

"This Daoist is Xuandu, also of human descent, Li Yuan's senior brother."

"..."

After they introduced themselves, the burly man at the lead suddenly lit up with joy. He tossed aside his wooden spear, rushed over excitedly, and shouted with fervor.

"Uncle Yuan, I am Suirenshi! You were the one who gave me my name!"

Li Yuan was a bit bewildered as he looked Suirenshi up and down.

Memories suddenly surged in his mind.

When he had first transmigrated and found himself among the human race, he had casually given names to a few talented younger ones.

He pointed again at the two figures standing dumbly beside the Tiger Demon's corpse.

"So... those over there are Youchaoshi and Ziyi Shi?"

Suirenshi grew even more excited, nodding like a chick pecking at rice.

"That's right, Uncle Yuan. I didn't think you'd still remember us."

Li Yuan's mouth parted slightly, and he sighed with some emotion.

"Truly, 'plant willows by chance, and shade grows unintended.'"

Suirenshi clearly didn't understand, frowning as he asked.

"Plant who? I've got a Wooden Spear here for you, Uncle Yuan."

Li Yuan helplessly rolled his eyes and replied out of habit.

"Get lost."

Suirenshi chuckled again.

"As expected, it's the same old Uncle Yuan. Your words are still so familiar."

"Uncle Yuan, we just caught a Tiger Demon. Let's go back and eat it together—it's been a while."

Li Yuan looked at the thoroughly dead Tiger Demon and nodded.

"Is this the potential of a top-tier race?"

On the way back to the Human Ancestral Land, Li Yuan also learned the reason the three had taken up cultivation.

It was still back when Li Yuan had left, constantly instilling in them the belief of protecting humanity.

Coincidentally, there was the Golden Core Cultivation Method left behind by Laozi, so the three began to cultivate.

Even without a master's guidance, their progress was still rapid.

Now they had all reached the Mystic Immortal mid-stage realm.

Li Yuan's expression grew somewhat complicated. What was this?

"Three junior humans I casually pointed out turned out to be the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors!"

But upon returning to the Human Ancestral Land, the three directly cut off the Tiger Demon's flesh and devoured it with gusto.

This act immediately made Li Yuan furrow his brows, and he thought to himself.

"Their realms have risen, but they still haven't reached full enlightenment?"

"If that's the case, my previous plan can still proceed."

Thinking this, Li Yuan took the initiative to ask about the current state of humanity.

Even with the protection of three Mystic Immortals, they still faced many threats.

Most came from rogue Demon Race cultivators who refused to submit to the Demon Court's rule.

Next were natural disasters—almost unceasing natural disasters.

For ordinary humans without cultivation, this was simply a devastating blow.

Humanity still lived in caves, eating raw meat and drinking blood, with barely any clothing to cover themselves.

Li Yuan and Xuandu exchanged a glance and sighed.

"The task of fully enlightening humanity is a long and arduous road."

The primary goal was to first let the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors comprehend their own Great Dao, while also teaching humanity to be self-sufficient.

After all, sending ordinary humans out to hunt was far too risky.

Even the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors would just be feeding themselves to the enemy when facing true great powers.

If that Tiger Demon had been at the Mystic Immortal peak, they could only have slide-tackled their way into filling its belly.

Li Yuan suddenly spoke words that felt deeply insincere.

"For now, humanity should learn self-sufficiency. Hunting is not a long-term plan."

In his mind, he recalled the wild demeanor of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, feeling somewhat awkward.

Why are these words coming out of my mouth?

Suirenshi chuckled in response.

"Just say the word, Uncle Yuan. Whatever you want us to do, we'll do it."

Li Yuan nodded slightly and gave his orders.

"Senior Brother, you teach Suirenshi. In the future, he can be humanity's chieftain."

"Junior Brother Guangchengzi, you teach Ziyi Shi. He can manage humanity's daily affairs."

"Junior Brothers Duobao and Kong Xuan, you both teach Youchaoshi together. He can be humanity's war general."

Xuandu and Guangchengzi both nodded in agreement.

As for Duobao, he chuckled and said.

"I get it. It's just teaching him how to fight—easy as pie."

Kong Xuan gave a slight nod and spoke softly.

"I have some experience."

Li Yuan pursed his lips helplessly, waving his hand.

"Interpret it however you like. Go on, brother guarantees this won't be for nothing."

[The human race—the future protagonists of heaven and earth. If you help the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the Heavenly Dao's merit will come rolling in on a tide of great fortune.]
