Human Race Divine General

"How many days have they been running?"

Di Xin lay on a reclining chair made of warm jade, yawning boredly.

"Great King, five days. My foolish son led the way, and every one of them drank three full bowls. Sigh!"

E Lai looked at his son, who was happily running around with a stone on his back, and wished he could cover his face with both hands.

"But, Great King, you haven't gone to court for five days. Is that really all right?"

"Chaoge is still here, isn't it? What's there to panic about? Besides, how could the court possibly be more interesting than these little fellows?"

Di Xin casually tossed three stones weighing about twenty pounds each. They flew into the baskets on the backs of Yin Hong, Yin Jiao, and Mo Xuan.

"Keep going. This is the price of gluttony and indulgence."

"You little fellows, have some too."

E Lai chuckled. With deft force, he tossed several stones weighing about ten pounds each into the baskets of the remaining little fellows. Naturally, his daughter Fang got one weighing twenty pounds.

It wasn't that E Lai was harsher on other people's sons. The other little fellows simply had much poorer foundations. Although the Phoenix Soup had nourished and strengthened them, they still couldn't withstand a sudden increase of too much pressure.

"The Crown Prince and Second Prince have extraordinary talents and perfectly inherited your bloodline, Great King. Among everyone, they absorb the power in the soup the fastest! As for the other little fellows, my foolish son still has the worst bone structure."

Fang had begun undergoing the brutal training I arranged when she was three. In terms of foundation, she had the most solid one among all the little ones, and her strength had originally been the greatest as well.

But now, not only had the Crown Prince and Second Prince caught up with Fang's physical qualities—even surpassing her—but the other little fellows were also rapidly closing the distance.

As for Mo Xuan, despite being born a slave, he possessed such astonishing talent. Although he still lagged somewhat behind everyone else, his body was frantically absorbing nourishment, as if—as if he had been starving for more than a decade and had never eaten anything!

"Your child is simply the most hardworking."

Di Xin sat up and looked at the group of little fellows before him.

"You've almost finished digesting it. Come over."

"Father King!"

"Master!"

The little ones stood in a row, panting heavily. Although they had not rested for five days, their eyes still shone brightly, without the slightest trace of fatigue.

"I'm going to teach you the cultivation method I newly created. However, this method is somewhat special, because it's still only theoretical. No one has ever cultivated it before."

Di Xin pushed himself to his feet. There was no longer any hesitation in his eyes.

"Using Human Race Destiny as the foundation, faith as nourishment, standing upon Human Race territory, backed by the hearts of the people, gathering the strength of countless people to transform a region of space into a Divine Domain that protects the Human Race—this is known as a Human Race Divine General!

"Remember these words. Etch them firmly into your hearts. This is the only mission you have for being born among the Human Race, for being born into this world.

"Next, I'll plant Human Race Destiny within your bodies and let you take your first steps onto this path.

"Mo Xuan, you first."

"Yes, Master."

Mo Xuan set down his basket and walked before Di Xin, lowering his head slightly.

"Are you ready?"

The corners of Di Xin's mouth curved upward slightly, and his originally upright and righteous aura abruptly became much darker. At the same time, the Kongtong Seal quietly appeared in his hand. Within its nine interlocking dragons, a thread of bright light slowly emerged—dazzling yet warm, as if it could return one to the womb.

This thread of bright light was the seed of destiny, as well as the medium that would completely bind Mo Xuan's destiny to Human Race Destiny.

Di Xin pinched with his left hand. The bright light flew out of the Kongtong Seal and transformed into the exquisite character "Human," which he held between his fingers.

"It'll be fine. It'll be over soon."

Di Xin narrowed his eyes and pressed his left hand against Mo Xuan's brow. The character "Human" completely sank into his brow, directly engraving itself upon his soul.

The next second, starlight burst from Mo Xuan's body. A dense ray of starlight descended from the sky, striking the top of Mo Xuan's head and plunging straight into his soul, scouring the character "Human" engraved upon it.

"Heh heh, too late!"

Di Xin gave an insidious laugh. The Kongtong Seal shone with boundless light, and a golden dragon spiraled upward, transforming into a beam of golden light that enveloped the entire city of Chaoge. No matter how the starlight washed over it, it remained completely unmoved!

"Whoever you are, I still have to thank you for sending me such an excellent disciple, Di Xin."

"Hmph!"

The starlight suddenly vanished, and the sky became clear once more. Mo Xuan opened his eyes in confusion. Had he just... fallen asleep?

"Master, what happened to me?"

"It's nothing. The next stage of cultivation won't take place here. Are you prepared to suffer?"

Di Xin reached out and knocked on Mo Xuan's little head. Not bad. As expected of a head tempered by starlight—the sound was crisp and clear, and the feel was excellent!

"Master, to me, those things are merely ordinary life."

Mo Xuan covered his head and smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. Specks of starlight dotted his teeth, while the character "Human" appeared between his brows.

"Next, Hong'er, little Jin Zha, little Mu Zha, and Tianlu—you four come together."

After shielding Mo Xuan behind him, Di Xin pressed down with his left hand. Four characters reading "Human" floated above his palm.

"Coming, coming!"

"That's so cool! It must be really powerful!"

"Mm!"

After witnessing the phenomena surrounding Mo Xuan, the four little fellows had already become filled with excitement. Now that they heard Di Xin call for them, they naturally ran out cheering.

"Great King, be careful!"

A fierce wind suddenly appeared from nowhere, sweeping up the four little ones and trying to carry them away, but a layer of hidden golden light blocked it.

"What kind of monster dares snatch children in broad daylight, right in front of me!"

Di Xin let out an angry roar. A huge Black Bird appeared above Chaoge City, its golden eyes scanning the entire city. It instantly discovered where the disturbance was!

"Kongtong Seal, go!"

"Human King, why go to such lengths? The few of us have no ill intentions. Fan Tian Seal!"

--Boom!

The two great seals collided in midair. Splendid auspicious radiance and countless rays of light flew in every direction, creating a breathtaking sight. Though silent and soundless, this was the most powerful killing art in the world beneath the Saints!

The next moment, a Green Willow suddenly appeared in midair. Its crystalline branches swayed in the breeze. With a gentle sweep, it separated the two seals and sent the Kongtong Seal flying back into Di Xin's hand.

"Several Daoists, instead of enjoying your tranquility in the mountains, why have you come to my mortal world to snatch children?"

Di Xin grinned. The destiny Black Bird swooped down, caught the Kongtong Seal in its beak, and stopped behind Di Xin.

"I am Guang Chengzi. Greetings, current Human King."

Four Daoists with different expressions emerged from the void. With every step, lotuses bloomed beneath their feet, and their bearing was extraordinary.

"I am Chi Jingzi."

"I am Manjushri!"

"I am Ci Hang. These children under the Human King's command share a destined connection with us senior and junior brothers. We ask the Human King to show us some consideration and fulfill this connection for me. It would make a fine tale as well."

"Oh? What if I refuse?"

Di Xin took a step forward, his expression suddenly turning cold.

"This is Chaoge!"
