The Human Race's Fangs, Visitors from Chaos

Hongjun's concession caused a huge stir among the Saints.

This meant that the Human Race, once a weak species, had officially stepped onto the political stage of the Primordial Era and gained the qualifications to contend with the Dao Ancestor.

And the ones who granted them this qualification were precisely that mysterious "Technology Fleet," and the mysterious man who emerged from Nuwa's body—Chen Ran.

When the news spread, the entire Primordial Era was shaken.

Countless races and rogue cultivators who had previously disdained the Human Race began to re-examine this emerging power.

Meanwhile, Chen Ran used this precious window period to begin his next plan: "showing off his muscles."

Having high-end combat power alone was not enough; they had to display the Human Race's true fangs to the entire Primordial Era.

In the command center of the flagship "Civilization," Chen Ran stood before a massive star chart, with the Three Sovereigns and high-ranking Human Race generals flanking him.

"Although the Dao Ancestor has temporarily conceded, he will never give up. The 'Investiture of the Gods Calamity' he mentioned is a sword hanging over our heads." Chen Ran's voice reached everyone's ears clearly.

"The Heavenly Court needs three hundred and sixty-five true gods, and this vacancy will eventually be filled. If we don't take the initiative, we will passively become pawns."

The Heavenly Sovereign Suiren Shi stepped forward and asked in a deep voice, "Mister's intention is?"

"Very simple." Chen Ran pointed to a region on the star chart. "Instead of passively waiting to face the calamity, why don't we 'invest'' ourselves?"

The place he pointed to was Northern Jialu Continent, the stronghold of the remnants of the Demon Race.

"After the Witch-Demon Great War, the Demon Heavenly Court shattered, but a dying centipede is still stiff. Although Di Jun and Tai Yi are dead, Demon Generals like Bai Ze and Ying Zhao are still alive. They have gathered the remnants and are entrenched in Northern Jialu Continent, frequently raiding our Human Race's border tribes."

"They are our best source of 'divine positions'."

"I order the Human Race's First, Second, and Third Fleets to depart immediately and launch an expedition to Northern Jialu Continent!"

"Objective: Completely annihilate the remnant forces of the Demon Race and make the resisting Demon Generals the first names on our Human Race's 'Investiture of the Gods List'!"

"This battle must not only be fought, but it must be fought brilliantly, showcasing the might of our Human Race!"

"Let the entire Primordial Era see what happens to those who dare to provoke my Human Race!"

Chen Ran's command was forceful and filled with irrefutable authority.

"Yes! We will obey Mister's orders!" The Three Sovereigns and the generals responded in unison, their eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit. They had waited too long for this day.

Soon, three massive fleets, led by the flagship "Civilization," set off majestically for Northern Jialu Continent. This time, they did not hide their tracks. Instead, they roared across the sky of the Primordial Era in broad daylight. The steel torrent that blotted out the sun made all the creatures on the ground tremble from the depths of their souls.

"What... what is that?"

"It's the Human Race's fleet! Where are they going?"

"Such terrifying killing intent! Are they going to war?"

Northern Jialu Continent, Myriad Demon Hall.

Demon Master Kunpeng, along with Demon Generals Bai Ze and Ying Zhao, were gathered. The atmosphere in the hall was incredibly oppressive.

"The Human Race... has gone too far!" a wolf demon general roared angrily. "Not only did they steal the position of the favored child of heaven and earth that rightfully belonged to us, but now they dare to declare war on us so openly!"

"Hmph, a bunch of ants relying on strange techniques and cunning tricks, do they really think they can contend with our Demon Race?"

"It's good that they've come! It's a good opportunity for us to taste the flesh and blood of these 'favored children of heaven and earth'!"

The hall was filled with righteous indignation and shouts of war. However, Demon Master Kunpeng and the wise Bai Ze, seated at the head, frowned deeply. They both felt an unprecedented threat from that fleet.

"Do not underestimate them." Bai Ze spoke slowly. His ability to divine heavenly secrets was unmatched among the Demon Race. "I have calculated that in this battle, our Demon Race... is in grave danger."

"What?"

"Mister Bai Ze, are you boosting the enemy's morale and crushing our own?"

"A mere Human Race, what is there to fear!"

Bai Ze let out a wry smile and didn't explain further.

Because he knew that his kin, blinded by hatred, wouldn't listen.

He could only place his hope on Demon Master Kunpeng.

Kunpeng, a peak Quasi-Saint who had lived from ancient times to the present, possessed unfathomable strength.

Perhaps only he could withstand the Human Race's offensive.

Kunpeng remained silent. He simply raised his head, his gaze seeming to pierce through the dome of the Myriad Demon Hall and fixate on the approaching steel storm cloud.

In his eyes, a light flickered, a mixture of apprehension and greed.

The battle erupted without warning.

Upon reaching the skies above Northern Jialu Continent, the Human Race's fleet wasted no words.

The flagship "Civilization," its main cannon – the "Human Way Destruction Beam" – began to charge.

Vast energy converged at the muzzle, forming an energy sphere that could make even a Quasi-Saint's heart pound with fear.

"Fire."

Chen Ran stood on the bridge and calmly issued the order.

Boom—!!!

A resplendent beam that pierced heaven and earth descended from the sky, precisely striking the Myriad Demon Hall's protective mountain array.

The demon array, capable of withstanding the combined assault of several Quasi-Saints, violently shook under this single shot, its light instantly dimming by more than half.

All the demons were stunned by this attack.

What... what kind of attack was this?

"All fleets, open fire at will! Target all areas where demon energy is concentrated!"

Following Chen Ran's command.

The secondary cannons of thousands of warships fired simultaneously.

For a time, countless energy beams poured down like a torrential rain, engulfing the entire Northern Jialu Continent in a sea of fire.

"Counterattack! Counterattack quickly!"

The demons finally reacted. They rode their demon clouds, unleashed their divine abilities, and charged towards the fleet in the sky.

However, what greeted them was an even more dense network of firepower.

And... countless "Psionic Mecha" that flew out from the warships.

A "dimensional strike" of "technology" versus "mythology" officially began.

The demons' divine abilities and spells, when striking the mecha's energy shields, could only cause ripples.

But the high-frequency battle sabers and psionic beam guns in the mecha's hands could easily tear through the demons' physical defenses.

From the very beginning, the battle was one-sided.

The Human Race was slaughtering them in a way the demons couldn't comprehend at all.

Just as the demon army was on the verge of collapse.

A furious roar echoed from the depths of the Myriad Demon Hall.

"Insolent brat! How dare you!"

Demon Master Kunpeng finally made his move.

He transformed into his sky-obscuring, continent-covering true form. With a flap of his wings, he stirred up endless gale winds, drawing dozens of mecha into them and tearing them to shreds.

He opened his mouth and inhaled, and endless Netherworld True Water transformed into monstrous waves, surging towards the flagship "Civilization."

The might of a peak Quasi-Saint was fully displayed.

However, Chen Ran had anticipated this.

"Three Sovereigns, it's your turn."

"Yes!"

The Heavenly Sovereign Suiren Shi, the Earthly Sovereign Youchao Shi, and the Human Sovereign Ziyi Shi leaped out from the flagship.

They wore no mecha.

But behind them appeared three colossal "conceptual weapons" formed from Human Way destiny and Civilization Power.

Behind Suiren Shi was a blazing, magnificent sun burning with the Sacred Fire of Civilization.

Behind Youchao Shi was a majestic divine city that suppressed all ages.

Behind Ziyi Shi was a gorgeous heavenly robe woven with the tapestry of myriad civilizations.

The combined might of the Three Sovereigns, their auras merging into one, seemed to faintly surpass the Quasi-Saint realm and touch the threshold of the Saint realm!

"Monster, die!"

The Three Sovereigns faced Kunpeng.

A peak battle, one that would decide the future landscape of the Primordial Era, began.

And just as the Primordial Era was ablaze with conflict.

In the depths of the endless Chaos.

Several figures, equally powerful but incompatible with the Laws of the Primordial Era, were drawn by the residual shockwaves of the battle.

Their gazes pierced through the endless Chaos, landing on the Human Race fleet filled with a "sense of technology."

"Oh? This barren world has actually birthed such an interesting civilization?"

"The prototype of Mechanical Ascension... interesting."

"It seems it can serve as a decent 'testing ground' and 'resource point'."

A deep voice, full of metallic resonance, echoed through the Chaos.

"Transmit my order: dispatch an 'Explorers' fleet to that world."

"Coordinates locked."

"Objective: capture the core technology of this civilization and analyze its potential."

"If there is resistance... then proceed with 'Format' processing."

A greater crisis, from beyond the world of the Primordial Era, was quietly descending.
