After many years, Jiang Yuan returned to the Human Race, and naturally had many mundane matters to attend to.
Therefore, he couldn't worry about Baize and Heavenly Fox for the time being. He took the two of them to the Holy Mother Temple to worship the Lady Nuwa, and then let them do their own thing.
As for Jiang Yuan, he remained in the Sacred Temple to discuss the future of the Human Race with the Third Ancestor.
Human Race has truly reached a point where change is inevitable. And all of this is related to Jiang Yuan.
Well, after many years of development, the Human Race has become increasingly prosperous. Correspondingly, the number of people in the race has also increased, and although the East Sea Coast is large, it is gradually becoming insufficient.
Therefore, some members of the tribe wanted to go out and expand their territory, creating new habitats for the Human Race.
This is a very normal situation; it's a reality that all races must face once they reach a certain scale of development.
Limited territory means limited resources. If we don't venture out now, as the number of people in our tribe increases and our expenses grow, internal strife will inevitably break out sooner or later.
At the same time, if they don't expand outwards when they should, how can they increase their influence and enhance their group's strength?
You can't become a ruler of the world if you stay in one small place and never venture out. Therefore, you must expand when the time is right.
This marked the beginning of the path to dominance, a choice the tribe had to make to continue its development.
"Although I had anticipated this day, it still came too quickly."
Ancestor Sui sighed. He had long anticipated this day, but in his mind, it was something to consider at least a million years after the birth of the Human Race.
However, as a result, the Human Race has been around for less than 100,000 years and is already having to consider moving to the East Sea Coast, which is more than ten times shorter than he had anticipated.
This shows that the Human Race's development speed far exceeded his expectations. And the reason why the Human Race has developed so quickly is all thanks to Jiang Yuan.
It was his plan that Human Race from many detours, Human Race to develop at a speed far exceeding the established historical pace, and its strength to expand rapidly, forcing it to embark on the path of expansion ahead of schedule.
This is both a good thing and a bad thing.
The good thing is that Human Race has become stronger. The bad thing is that Human Race has expanded too quickly, so quickly that many things were not prepared for.
Putting aside other issues, how can the safety of the clansmen who leave be guaranteed?
This was exactly what the Ancestor Sui was worried about. As the patriarch of the Human Race, he certainly didn't want his people to encounter any accidents. Therefore, he didn't want his people to go out and face the cruelty of the Primordial World so early.
At the very least, it's not too late for him to go out after he has cultivated to the level of Daluo Golden Immortal and gained a certain degree of influence in the surrounding area.
After he cultivates to become Daluo Golden Immortal, he may not be able to completely guarantee the safety of people from other tribes, but having more deterrent power will reduce some danger and allow them to live a better life.
"Brother, you're just too soft-hearted. Children have to go through some trials and tribulations to truly mature."
"Besides, they all have their own ideas now and want to see the wider world. You can't control them. Why not grant their wishes and let them go out and explore?"
"Once they suffer the consequences, they'll naturally realize who's right."
Ancestor Chao's attitude was completely opposite to Ancestor Sui's; he supported his people leaving. If they didn't leave, how would they manage to house so many people on the East Sea Coast?
Furthermore, with people's hearts restless and clansmen insisting on leaving, if you stop them from going, it might not be a problem in the short term, but what if something bad happens in the long run?
"It's better to guide than to block. If they want to go out, let them go. However, not all clansmen can go out; some restrictions still need to be set."
"Only those who have cultivated to the level of Heavenly Immortal are qualified to lead their families away from the East Sea Coast and establish a new home elsewhere."
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yuan said.
Judging from what Ancestor Chao said, compared to not being able to live on the East Sea Coast, it was clear that the clansmen had a stronger desire to move out.
That makes things easier; ordinary people can use their limited experience and inability to make their own decisions as an excuse to refuse their move.
But Heavenly Immortal are different; they are equivalent to adults in later generations, and they are already qualified to take charge of their own lives.
Therefore, Jiang Yuan meant that they should respect their choice. If they wanted to leave, they should be allowed to leave.
If they succeed, they will be heroes who have expanded the territory of Human Race. If they fail, it doesn't matter; they will simply gain experience for their people.
Learning from their mistakes should help future members of the tribe who wish to venture out to make progress.
"It's inevitable for Human Race to venture out; the reason we're letting them leave voluntarily now is because Human Race is still too weak."
"When the Human Race becomes stronger and the number of Heavenly Immortal increases, they will no longer leave voluntarily, but will be forced to leave. Only Primordial Unity Golden Immortal will be able to remain in the Ancestral City."
Seeing that Ancestor Sui was about to say something more, Jiang Yuan interrupted him, saying, "Letting our clansmen at the Heavenly Immortal Realm leave is a good thing for Human Race now and in the future."
First of all, Heavenly Immortal are now considered to be in the middle to upper ranks of the Human Race. Most of the resources that the Human Race earns are used on them.
If they leave, the resources saved can undoubtedly be used to cultivate more outstanding members of the clan.
Secondly, if the Human Race wants to become stronger, it is inevitable that they will expand outwards. So let them go out and explore first, so as to lay a solid foundation for the Human Race to go out on a large scale in the future.
Based on this, whether viewed from a long-term or short-term perspective, it's a good thing for the Heavenly Immortal Realm to leave. So why prevent them from leaving?
As for whether doing this was cruel to them, not at all, because they left voluntarily; no one forced them.
" Di Yuan is right, that makes sense. It's better to let them go out on their own now than to have us force them to go out later."
Ancestor Chao fully supported Jiang Yuan's decision.
In fact, Ancestor Sui also supported it. But as the patriarch, he always felt that the children hadn't grown up yet and was worried about letting them take on responsibilities independently.
"It's good that they go out; it saves them from staying in the tribe and fighting for resources."
Finally, Zu Yichui made the final statement: the three words "seize resources" revealed the true reason why the clansmen wanted to leave.
As the number of Heavenly Immortal increased, the resources allocated to them by the clan began to decrease. At this point, to obtain more resources, they had to resort to robbery.
If you don't want to rob, or can't compete, the best option is to leave the Human Race and fight on your own. That way, all the resources you acquire are yours, no one will steal them, and you won't have to depend on others.
"I have no objection to letting the people of the Heavenly Immortal Realm leave. But it's not easy to go out and make a living; it wouldn't be good to let them leave empty-handed, would it?"
Faced with the inevitable trend, even the Ancestor Sui had no choice but to fight for the interests of the departing clansmen.
"That's for sure, but we can't give them too much, otherwise we're not taking care of them, we're harming them."
On this point, Jiang Yuan and the others did not object. However, when it came to deciding what to give, the four of them disagreed.
