Return to the Human Race, Divine Artifacts Show Their Might

Hu Shu took a deep breath, turned to look at the equally exhausted but determined Human Race warriors beside him, and said, "We're returning to Shouyang Mountain. The road ahead will be tougher, but as long as our Human Race is united, we will overcome this hardship." The crowd responded in unison, then quickened their pace towards Shouyang Mountain. However, Hu Shu knew in his heart that a greater storm awaited them, and he had to quickly devise a plan for how the Human Race would survive and thrive in this storm.

They traveled at full speed, and the familiar silhouette of Shouyang Mountain finally appeared before them. From afar, wisps of smoke rose from the Human Race settlement on Shouyang Mountain, yet Hu Shu keenly sensed a tense atmosphere permeating the air.

As Hu Shu and his group entered the settlement, the previously quiet atmosphere was instantly shattered. The Human Race people gathered around, their eyes filled with both surprise and worry. Surprise that Hu Shu and his group had returned safely, and worry for the injuries they had sustained, more or less.

"Clan Leader, you're finally back!" an elder of the Human Race hurried forward, his eyes reddening.

Hu Shu nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, and he announced loudly, "Everyone, rest assured, we have not only returned, but we've also brought back a Divine Artifact!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted. People whispered amongst themselves, their eyes full of curiosity and anticipation. Hu Shu carefully took out the Divine Artifact. It was radiant yet restrained, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura. The moment he touched the Divine Artifact, Hu Shu felt a warm energy spread throughout his body from his arm, instantly alleviating some of his fatigue.

Carrying the Divine Artifact, Hu Shu, surrounded by the crowd, arrived at the sacred land of the Human Race. The sacred land was located in a hidden valley on Shouyang Mountain, surrounded by ancient trees, serene and peaceful. In the center of the valley stood a massive stone platform, the designated place for the Divine Artifact.

The instant the Divine Artifact touched the stone platform, its light burst forth like a rising sun. The light first gently enveloped the entire valley, then spread outwards at an incredibly fast pace. Hu Shu's vision brightened, and immediately, a dense, almost tangible wave of Spiritual Energy washed over him like a tide. He took a deep breath, and the Spiritual Energy flowed into his body through his nose and mouth, coursing joyfully through his meridians. The meridians, damaged from battle, were visibly repairing themselves at an astonishing rate.

The people of the Human Race were also immersed in this rich Spiritual Energy. A young Human Race boy, who had been stuck in the Qi Condensation Stage for a long time, felt his Spiritual Energy boiling like hot water, constantly pushing against his bottleneck. With a "boom," the boy successfully broke through, his aura becoming more stable. He looked at Hu Shu excitedly, his eyes filled with gratitude.

"This Divine Artifact is incredible!"

"Yes, with it, our Human Race will surely develop rapidly!"

Cheers erupted from the crowd, greatly boosting their morale. Seeing this, Hu Shu felt a sense of relief. He could feel that the Divine Artifact had not only improved the Spiritual Energy environment but also united the hearts of the Human Race.

However, amidst this joyous atmosphere, a shadow of unease lingered in Hu Shu's heart. He knew that the Heavenly Origin Sect and the Demon Race would not stand idly by while the Human Race grew stronger because of the Divine Artifact. At this moment, he felt as if countless eyes were watching the Human Race from the shadows, ready to launch a fatal strike at any moment.

Hu Shu frowned, gazing into the distance. The cheerful laughter of the Human Race people echoed in his ears, but his thoughts had already drifted far away. He pondered how to quickly enhance the strength of the Human Race during this brief period of development. Should he strengthen the teaching of cultivation techniques, organize practical combat drills for the Human Race, or perhaps use the power of the Divine Artifact to forge an elite force?

As Hu Shu was deep in thought, the elder approached him and said softly, "Clan Leader, I know what you're worried about. But for now, we should let our people enjoy this rare joy. At the same time, we must also quickly discuss countermeasures."

Hu Shu nodded slightly, his gaze firm. "You are right, we cannot panic. But time is of the essence, we must race against it."

At this moment, sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled light on Hu Shu. Looking at the hopeful faces of the Human Race people before him, he secretly vowed to lead the Human Race towards a brighter future, no matter the hardships and obstacles ahead.
