As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xun lowered his gaze slightly. The breeze by the river seemed to pause. With one hand behind his back, he calmly looked toward the river's surface. "Third Sister, regarding what happened back then—the knot left after the Celestial River War—I already resolved it before Senior Brother Ji and the Human King."
"Big Brother..."
"The Baili Clan in our Domain are Human Race. The disciples of the Five Aggregates Sect are Human Race. Over the years, even quite a few spirit beasts in our Eternal Ancient Immortal Territory who took human form have become Human Race. Your big brother may be narrow-minded, but I would not carry that hatred onto our own people."
Chen Xun's smile was like a spring breeze sweeping across rivers and mountains. "Eternal Ancient Human Race... that name is rather good. They are all ancestors of our Domain, and likewise descendants of the Ancient Human Race. Even if our Eternal Ancient Immortal Territory gives them no special treatment, they should still be treated equally."
A brilliant glimmer rose in He Ling's eyes. All along, she had wanted to heal the shadow left in Big Brother's heart by the Human Race of the Three Thousand Great Worlds standing idly by. Yet she knew very little about Ji Kun, the Human King, and Big Brother's affairs.
"Third Sister, rest assured."
Chen Xun nodded. He had always known what everyone in the Eternal Ancient Immortal Territory was wary of. They only dared to speak of it, never truly think of it. The Eternal Ancient Immortal Territory only had Human Race cultivators, but not the collective designation of Human Race.
Now, only the Longevity Yu Clan dared to secretly touch upon that taboo—and they had even needed to notify He Ling first.
Human Race...
