Upon careful counting, humanity's path to rising certainly could not have been achieved without the efforts of humanity's own immortals and deities.
But its heavy reliance on external forces was also one of humanity's problems.
Back when the myriad races competed for supremacy, if humanity had faced the demon race in a fair one-on-one contest, humanity would definitely have lost.
As a result, whenever humanity's immortals and deities tried to solve problems, their first thought was to borrow strength from the outside world.
In Yan Tianyu's view, this was the wrong path of dependence.
It was true that Teacher Saint Huode was humanity's backer, and it was also true that Saint Nuwa was one of humanity's creators.
But humanity was not an existence they were obligated to protect.
Seeing how seriously Yan Tianyu put it, Jiang Zi and You Chao Shi also became solemn.
"His Majesty the Human Emperor is right. If we humans want to truly stand tall in the Primordial Wilderness, we still have to rely on ourselves."
You Chao Shi stood firmly on Yan Tianyu's side.
"Since we have to rely on ourselves to solve the problem of faith, we can't lump all the faith deities together and deal with them in one stroke.
"Win some over while striking at others—that is the proper path."
After changing his way of thinking, Jiang Zi no longer set his sights too high by demanding the expulsion of all faith religions.
"Compared with orthodox religions, which only collect Incense Fire, heretical religions pose a greater threat to Acquired Beings.
"We have no other choice. We can only stand on the side of orthodox religions."
Yan Tianyu concluded.
Humanity seemed to have a choice, but in truth, it had none.
The Dao, Buddhist, and Luo Cults all had Primordial Chaos Saints
