The Three Human Race Juniors I Casually Guided Turned Out to Be the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors!

Li Yuan and Xuandu exchanged a glance, both wearing extremely grim expressions.

They had talked all along the way about how weak the Human Race was.

They had not expected to encounter something like this the moment they returned to the Human Race.

"It seems the Human Race is in trouble. Now that our cultivation has achieved success, let us hurry over and lend them a hand."

Li Yuan took the lead, bringing the others toward the source of the sounds.

Li Yuan had already brought out the Southern Earth Detaching Flame Light Flag and was just about to make his move.

Then the imposing aura around him suddenly dissipated. He stared at the scene before him, utterly dumbfounded.

Even Xuandu and the junior brothers following close behind him looked completely bewildered.

In the end, it was the usually silent Kong Xuan who could not help speaking.

"Senior Brother, didn't you say the Human Race was weak?"

"Then why do I see them chasing a demon beast?"

Before them was a massive tiger demon, radiating the aura of an early-stage Mystic Immortal.

A humanlike expression of terror appeared on the tiger demon's face.

Two streams of breath blasted from his nostrils as he fled frantically.

He kept looking back, as though something terrifying were hunting him down.

Behind him, three figures raced over at incredible speed, Wooden Spears in hand.

"Run, run, run! No rations targeted by our Human Race have ever escaped!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The three Wooden Spears had merely been crudely refined from Primordial Spiritual Roots.

But they were wielded by three Human Race Mystic Immortals.

The damage they could inflict upon this tiger demon was naturally imaginable.

Pfft—!!!

The three Wooden Spears instantly pierced through the tiger demon's abdomen. A tremendous force nailed him directly to the ground as blood gushed out.

The three men who had chased after him roared.

"Hold him down, slit his throat, go!"

One stepped forward to withstand the tiger demon's attacks, one immediately sought out its weak point and slit its throat, while the last stood guard over the surroundings.

An early-stage Mystic Immortal tiger demon was hunted with such ease.

As the tiger demon died, he could not help letting out a miserable howl.

"Damn two-legged beasts! Damn terrifying upright apes!"

The sight left Li Yuan utterly dumbfounded.

"Bro, are you monster hunters or something?"

Xuandu also sucked in a cold breath, his brows tightly furrowed.

This was unfolding completely differently from what he had imagined.

Li Yuan awkwardly scratched his head and thought to himself.

So all those Primordial World novels from my previous life were for nothing?

Shouldn't the Human Race be suffering a massacre by the demon race, followed by our dashing arrival to save them?

The group had not concealed their auras, and the three Human Race members noticed them instantly.

The sturdy man in the lead pulled out his spear and shouted coldly.

"Who's there? Sneaking around like that—come out if you've got the guts!"

Li Yuan had originally come from the Human Race, so there was no need for him to hide. He revealed himself directly.

"Fellow Daoist, this Daoist is Li Yuan of the Human Race. I have now entered under Taiqing Saint's tutelage and have just returned to the Human Race."

"I am Xuandu, also born of the Human Race and Li Yuan's senior brother."

"..."

After everyone introduced themselves, the sturdy man in the lead suddenly revealed a delighted expression and tossed aside his wooden spear.

He rushed over excitedly, shouting with emotion.

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

Li Yuan looked Suirenshi up and down in confusion.

Then memories suddenly surged into his mind.

After he had transmigrated here and realized he was among the Human Race.

He had casually given names to several juniors with decent talent.

He then pointed blankly at the other two standing beside the tiger demon's corpse in the distance.

"So... those two are Youchaoshi and Ziyi Shi?"

Suirenshi became even more excited, nodding like a chicken pecking at grain.

"That's right, Uncle Yuan! I never expected you to still remember us."

Li Yuan's mouth hung slightly open as he sighed with emotion.

"Looks like a willow planted without intent still grew into a shady tree."

Suirenshi clearly did not understand. He frowned and asked.

"Plant who? I have a wooden spear here for you, Uncle Yuan."

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

"Get lost."

Suirenshi grinned again.

"It really is the Uncle Yuan I remember. You still talk exactly the same way."

"Uncle Yuan, we just caught this tiger demon. Let's go back and eat it together. It's been so long since we last met."

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 why the three of them had begun cultivating.

It was because, when Li Yuan had left back then, he had constantly instilled in them the conviction that they must protect the Human Race.

By chance, Laozi had left behind the Golden Core Cultivation Method, so the three of them began cultivating it.

Even without a master's guidance, their progress had been remarkably swift.

They had now all reached the mid-stage Mystic Immortal realm.

Li Yuan's expression was somewhat complicated. What was this supposed to mean?

The three Human Race juniors I casually guided turned out to be the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors!

Yet when they returned to the Human Ancestral Land, the three of them directly carved up the tiger demon's flesh and feasted on it.

This immediately made Li Yuan frown deeply as he thought to himself.

Their realms have risen, but they still haven't become fully civilized?

In that case, the previous plan can still proceed.

With that thought, Li Yuan took the initiative to ask about the Human Race's current circumstances.

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

Most came from rogue demon cultivators who refused to submit to the Demon Court's control.

Next were natural disasters, disasters that seemed to never cease.

For Human Race members without cultivation, they were simply devastating.

The Human Race still lived in caves, ate raw meat and drank blood, and wore barely enough clothing to cover themselves.

Li Yuan and Xuandu looked at each other and sighed.

"The task of civilizing the entire Human Race has a long way to go."

The foremost objective was to help the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors comprehend their own Great Dao, while also teaching the Human Race to become self-sufficient.

After all, sending ordinary Human Race members out to hunt was simply too dangerous.

Even the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors would merely be delivering themselves up to die against truly powerful experts.

If that tiger demon had been at the peak of the Mystic Immortal realm, they could only have slid under it and let it fill its belly.

Li Yuan suddenly said something that went very much against his heart.

"The Human Race should first learn to be self-sufficient. Hunting is not a long-term plan."

Thinking back to the wild bearing of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, he felt a little awkward.

Why are words like this coming out of my mouth?

Suirenshi replied with a grin.

"Just tell us what to do, Uncle Yuan. Whatever you want us to do, we'll do."

Li Yuan nodded slightly and began giving instructions.

"Senior Brother, you will teach Suirenshi. In the future, he may become the Human Race's chief."

"Junior Brother Guangchengzi, you will teach Ziyi Shi. He may manage the Human Race's daily affairs."

"Junior Brothers Duobao and Kong Xuan, you will teach Youchaoshi together. He may become a battle general for the Human Race."

Xuandu and Guangchengzi both nodded and agreed.

Duobao, on the other hand, said cheerfully.

"I get it. Isn't it just teaching him how to fight? Easy."

Kong Xuan also nodded slightly and said softly.

"I have some experience."

Li Yuan pursed his lips helplessly and waved a hand.

"Interpret it however you like. Go on. As your senior brother, I guarantee this won't be effort wasted for nothing."

Human Race, future protagonists of heaven and earth—if you helped the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the heavenly merits would have to be hauled away by the cartload.
