Not Enough Manpower? Support the Human Race!

[Faced with your domineering rules, someone raised their voice, and a large crowd responded.]

["We're not leaving! We'll fight him to the death! The Flying Feather Sect hasn't fallen yet. We'll all pledge our allegiance to the Flying Feather Sect. We refuse to believe we can't defeat this domineering dictator!!"]

[You clapped your hands with joy.]

["Good, good, very spirited, I like it! Don't say I'm bullying you. Now I'll give you some time to leave Star Harbor, and then we'll have a fair fight. Come on, get ready..."]

"Give us a few days?!"

["three..."]

"Three days, humph, that's enough!"

["two..."]

["!!!"]

[Thirtieth year, age fifty-six.]

The unification war waged by the Heavenly Sha Sect is raging on.

On the map of Blaze Star, the banner of the Heavenly Sha Sect grows ever larger, while other forces are merely clinging to life.

[As the territory expanded, problems arose one after another.]

Even with the addition of the Heavenly Sha Sect, which consists of its direct subordinates, the Heavenly Sha Alliance Sect is severely understaffed.

[Now that we've captured the territory, we should at least leave some people to guard it and maintain order.]

[But the Heavenly Sha Alliance has suffered many casualties in the years of fighting, and they still need to constantly increase their manpower.]

[Most Alien Race have such a pitiful reproductive rate, producing only one offspring every few centuries, that they simply cannot keep up with the intensity of war.]

[We don't have enough people, what should we do?]

[The promise of global unification—are we just going to leave the conquered cities to fend for themselves?]

Of course not.

Those uncultured Alien Race thought that once they conquered a territory, they could just plunder it and be done with it, without needing to govern it properly.

[But since you, as the Sect Master, are far-sighted and think it won't work, they have no choice but to agree.]

"But Sect Master, we really can't spare anyone to guard the city, unless we transfer people from the front lines."

But now the Flying Feather Sect has formed a ' Resistance Alliance ' and is fighting us to the death. All the forces on Blaze Star have willingly revealed their trump cards.

The situation at the front is critical, and we're suffering many defeats...

[ In the Heavenly Sha Sect Sect's King's Hall, you and the alliance's high-ranking members are discussing the next strategic move.]

"If we had known this would happen, we should have gathered more allies before starting the war. Even if we turned our backs on them afterward, it would have been better than pushing them all to the other side now."

"Yes, the territory is bigger now, but the battle lines are also stretched infinitely long. We have to fight in almost every region of the world; the intensity is too high."

"It's more than that. We also have to defend the city and its population, while the other side is going all out. They just come out to cause some damage, kill a few people, and run away. Their war costs are too low, while our costs are too high."

[Faced with a shortage of manpower, you calmly said...]

"Who says we don't have enough manpower? Who says we don't have any allies?"

"Sect Master, do you need another brilliant plan?"

"Human Race!"

"Human Race?"

"They have plenty of people!"

"But the Human Race is too weak; they're not even qualified to be cannon fodder on the front lines!"

"Shouldn't you be able to handle logistics, maintain order, and defend the city from the rear?"

"It's barely acceptable, but still too weak. There are too many mortals and too few Cultivator, and even among the Cultivator, there are no high-level Cultivator."

"If there are no Cultivator, then cultivate them! Distribute Cultivation Method and resources so that Human Race can practice!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall immediately reacted with alarm.

[Great Elder Yadada of the Heavenly Sha Sect was the first to step forward.]

"Sect Master, please reconsider! Supporting the Human Race is like raising a tiger to cause future trouble! It was one thing for them to cultivate by scavenging scraps before, we don't have the energy to manage them all! But now, if we give them proper, systematic training, the Human Race will rise rapidly!"

[You're acting like a Alien Race ruler, looking down on Human Race slaves.]

"Bullshit! What, are all Human Race born with First-Grade Immortal Root?"

"No, that's not it..."

"Then why are you so afraid!"

["This is... an ancestral precept... that Human Race can only be bullied, never helped!"]

"What kind of bullshit ancestral precepts are these! We agreed on unifying the world! Our brothers have fought for so long, so many have died, are you going to let this end in vain?! Complete the unification first, and then you can talk to me about ancestral precepts!"

[You heard some of their inner thoughts:]

['Wow! The Sect Master is so domineering, I love it~']

['That's right, that's right. We, the mighty Dragon Person Race, and the Heavenly Sha Sect who control global resources, what are we afraid of from the Human Race?']

['We're about to witness history! We're about to witness history! Blaze Star is about to be unified! It's about to be unified...']

[This shows that while guarding against Human Race is an ancestral precept for many Alien Race, not everyone regards it as gospel, and some do not take it seriously.]

[It's not that they weren't vigilant enough, but rather that the Human Race on Blaze Star, on the surface, truly posed no threat whatsoever.]

[Besides the Kindling Society.]

However, a power on a Second-Class Star would not consider eradicating the Kindling Society its top priority.

[The Kindling Society spread throughout the entire universe; it's not a problem that the Alien Race on just Blaze Star will face.]

Therefore, Alien Race forces on a particular planet generally do not consider the Kindling Society their mortal enemy and would not expend a great deal of energy and time to eliminate it.

[They will only try to eliminate any trace of the Kindling Society when they discover it; if they cannot, they will report it to a more powerful force.]

[The Kindling Society try to keep a low profile. If they can't see the Alien Race on other planets, they'll pretend they don't exist and ignore them; if they see them, they'll kill them. This has become an unspoken rule.]

[Only a top-tier organization like the Holy Dragon Society, operating within this galaxy, would relentlessly pursue the Kindling Society.]

[On the issue of supporting the Human Race as allies, the Heavenly Sha Alliance is divided into conservatives and radicals.]

[The conservatives believe that ancestral precepts should be upheld, and other methods should be sought to address the current manpower shortage.]

[The radicals believe that unification is a higher priority than suppressing the Human Race; unification should be achieved first, and then the Human Race can be suppressed.]

Ultimately, the radicals triumphed over the conservatives.

[Your policy of supporting Human Race cultivation is beginning to be implemented.]

[Thirty-first year, age fifty-seven.]

[You've gone into seclusion to cultivate, citing an imminent breakthrough in your cultivation, and are no longer making any moves.]

[Let the Flying Feather Sect and their "Resistance Alliance" put some pressure on the Heavenly Sha Alliance.]

[This led everyone in the Heavenly Sha Alliance to believe that they should support the Human Race, otherwise they would be unable to defeat them!]

[Actually, your cultivation level is about to break through.]

[Under the guise of seclusion, you disappeared from the Heavenly Sha Sect for a period of time.]

[Now you've returned to your original form.]

Maintaining the "Guangzhi Save Me" transformation state for an extended period will consume double your lifespan, so it's best to avoid changing your state if possible.

You have arrived at the village school where Mr. Xun teaches.

[After the passing of Xu Keqing and others, Mr. Xun is now the president of the Blaze Star Kindling Society.]

Shen Yifeng was also promoted to staff officer.

[Upon seeing you this time, Mr. Xun immediately knelt down in greeting.]

"I, Xun, have met Mr. Chen!"
