Wu's Proposal

Human Tribe, council chamber stone.

When Suiren, Youchao, Ziyi Shi, and Xuandu stepped inside, Wu had already been waiting for a long time.

His gaze was calm as it swept over the three Human Clan ancestors in turn, finally lingering a moment longer on Xuandu.

From the moment Xuandu rejected Taiqing, Wu completely let down his guard against him.

What reason do you have not to trust someone who is willing to give up becoming a disciple of Saint for the sake of the Human Clan?

Therefore, he discussed with the Three Ancestors about allowing Xuandu to formally enter the highest decision-making level of the Human Clan and participate in all discussions.

"Wu, you called us all here today, is there something you want to say?"

Suiren spoke first, breaking the silence.

Wu didn't beat around the bush. He glanced at the four Human Clan leaders present and said in a deep voice.

"I'd like to discuss with you the matter of the Human Tribe' migration."

The moment the words left his mouth, the atmosphere inside the stone house froze.

"What?"

Migration?!

As soon as he finished speaking, Suiren, Youchao, Ziyi Shi stood up abruptly, their faces filled with shock and confusion.

Xuandu was also taken aback.

"Wu, you're not kidding, are you?" Youchao frowned deeply.

"Why would they migrate for no reason?"

"That's right!" Ziyi Shi was also anxious. She took a step forward, her tone excited.

"How much blood has our Human Clan shed, how many lives have we lost on this land?"

"We've finally managed to settle down on this land, and our people have only just begun to enjoy a few days of peace!"

"They can just move out whenever they want?"

"Moving to a completely unfamiliar place means starting all over again. How much time will it take for the people to adapt to the new environment?"

"Yes, you know how dangerous the migration route is!"

"Ferocious beasts, poisonous insects, harsh weather, and those Demon Clan who are eyeing us covetously!"

"Who knows how many more of our people will have to sacrifice themselves along the way!"

Suiren's expression was also extremely solemn, and he added in a deep voice.

"Wu, do you know what migration means for our Human Clan?"

"It's not as simple as just moving!"

"Every migration means leaving our homeland and giving up everything we've worked so hard to build!"

"More importantly, the journey is fraught with unknown dangers! Where in this Primordial Land can one find peace?"

"Countless members of our tribe may perish on the migration route, never even seeing their new home!"

"The price is too high!"

Although Xuandu did not speak, the solemn expression on his face revealed his confusion.

Human Clan are too weak.

Every hunt and expansion comes at a bloody price.

What's more, the migration of an entire ethnic group? That would be an enormous and dangerous journey.

The slightest misstep could severely damage the Human Clan, or even... lead to utter annihilation!

Seeing the crowd's intense reaction, Wu was not surprised.

He raised his hand and made a slight gesture, indicating that everyone should remain calm.

"I understand everyone's concerns, and I also understand the risks of migration."

But we have no choice but to leave.

Wu met the gazes of the four people and slowly spoke.

There are three main reasons why I made this decision.

"Firstly, the Dao Field of the Taiqing Saint, Mount Shouyang, is located within the territory of our Human Clan."

"For the sake of the Human Clan, Xuandu refused the Saint's offer to accept him as a disciple."

"Saint's magnanimity might prevent him from venting his anger and making things difficult for us ants."

"But we ourselves must have self-awareness!"

"By constantly hovering under the Saint's nose, aren't you just getting on Saint nerves and reminding him of that unpleasant experience?"

Suiren and the others fell silent.

They understood that Wu was telling the truth.

Saint's magnanimity does not mean they can act recklessly.

For the weak Human Clan, staying away from the Humanity Dao of sages is indeed the safest choice.

But they still felt that the cost of relocating the entire clan was too high, just for this reason.

Wu didn't give them much time to think before continuing.

"Secondly, I have something of paramount importance to the Human Clan to do."

"I feel uneasy doing this here."

"I must relocate the Human Clan to a relatively safe place before I can begin without distractions."

"The third reason, and also the most important reason."

"Our Human Clan may face a Great Calamity in the future."

"Boom!"

The words "Great Calamity" exploded in the minds of the four people like a thunderclap from the heavens!

"Great Calamity?!"

Suiren could no longer sit still. He suddenly stood up and stared intently at Wu.

"Are you telling the truth?!"

"When? What calamity?!"

Seeing their horrified expressions, Wu said in a deep voice.

"Calm down, everyone!"

"I just said, it's only a possibility."

"In this Primordial Wilderness, many things have changed. I don't know if this Great Calamity will come again, or when it will come."

"But!"

"As long as there's a possibility! Even if it's only one in ten thousand, one in a billion!"

"We must prepare for the worst! We must make the most thorough preparations!"

"That's why I want to relocate the Human Clan to a place I believe is safe!"

After a long while, Suiren finally sat down slumped down and spoke in a hoarse voice.

You're right.

"Even if there's only a one in ten thousand or one in ten million chance, we must treat it with utmost care!"

"Otherwise, when the Great Calamity truly arrives, our Human Clan will be completely unprepared, and then we will be utterly finished!"

Youchao and Ziyi Shi nodded emphatically.

"We agree to the relocation!"

Xuandu gave Wu a deep look and said solemnly.

I trust you! I'll do whatever you say!

Compared to the life and death of the entire tribe, what are the hardships and sacrifices during the migration?

But Suiren's next question plunged everyone into silence once again.

"But, martial arts..."

Where can we migrate to?

"In this vast Primordial Wilderness, where... is there a truly safe place?"

This question reflects the sentiments of everyone.

Yes, where is safe?

In this Primordial World, the strong reign supreme, and danger lurks everywhere. Where is Pure Land?

Xuandu, who had been silent all along, finally spoke, his voice steady and powerful.

I believe in martial arts.

"Since he proposed to migrate, he must have a goal in mind."

All eyes were once again focused on Wu.
