If Fuxi intervened to protect them, the human race would surely be safe.
Therefore, the appearance of the Imperial Envoy had become the human race's last faint hope.
"The human race is saved!"
For a time, countless humans shouted, their voices Resounding Through the heavens as they rejoiced wildly.
At the same time, Zhou Yuan, Bai Ze, Fang Yun, and the others all looked toward the envoy sent by Fuxi, each wearing a different expression.
However.
Amid everyone's delight and hope, the Imperial Envoy's actions exceeded all expectations.
He merely cast an indifferent glance at Bai Ze, Yi Zi, and the others.
Then, his gaze settled on Yi Zi and Fang Yun.
"By the Heavenly Emperor's decree, you are to withdraw at once and cease this conflict!"
Silence!
Deathly silence!
The humans stared blankly at the scene before them, unable to believe it.
Fuxi's decree was not ordering Bai Ze and the other demons to withdraw.
On the contrary, it was ordering Yi Zi and Fang Yun to cease fighting?
This completely surpassed the imagination of all living beings.
"Hmph, since Fuxi is the Heavenly Emperor, he should be the protector of the human race."
"Why is he ordering us to withdraw at such a time?"
Fang Yun glared furiously at the Imperial Envoy and demanded harshly.
Hearing this, the Imperial Envoy's expression remained calm and unruffled.
In truth, the so-called Imperial Envoy had also been born among the human race.
Yet now, faced with the human race's calamity, the demons' savage slaughter, and this hellish scene of misery—
The so-called envoy showed not the slightest trace of compassion.
He replied calmly:
"You need not ask further. The Heavenly Emperor has his own considerations!"
After a brief pause, an immense aura suddenly erupted, enveloping Yi Zi and Fang Yun.
"Do you intend to defy the Heavenly Emperor's order?"
His words were incomparably imposing, like a judgment, carrying an undisguised air of domineering arrogance.
It was as though if Yi Zi and Fang Yun refused to retreat, they would already be burdened with an immense sin.
Seeing the Imperial Envoy's merciless indifference—no, perhaps this was Emperor Fuxi's own attitude—
Fang Yun was completely enraged!
"Haha, the human race was born by Heaven's will and stands between Heaven and Earth!"
"Yet now, the demons treat us as food, devouring our flesh and blood, seizing our souls, and refining them into vile killing weapons!"
"We merely resist foreign enemies. What crime have we committed?"
Fang Yun laughed loudly, his laughter filled with desolation and grief.
He raised his head and roared at the sky. Rather than questioning the Imperial Envoy, he was questioning Emperor Fuxi, who stood high above and had yet to appear.
"Why should we withdraw?!"
Though Fang Yun spoke the final sentence calmly, it rolled like thunder, exploding between Heaven and Earth.
At the same time, countless humans glared in anger, waiting for the Imperial Envoy's answer.
They did not understand. The human race had never provoked any race in the world and had merely lived alone in one corner.
Why did they have to suffer such a terrifying catastrophe?
And now, supreme mighty figures such as Yi Zi and Fang Yun had finally stepped forward for the human race.
Yet Emperor Fuxi sought to stop them.
Could it be that only by stretching out their necks to be slaughtered and allowing the demons to run rampant would they satisfy Fuxi's wishes?
The human race refused to accept this!
They wanted an explanation!
The Imperial Envoy looked at Fang Yun's grief-stricken and indignant face, his voice remaining as still and unruffled as an ancient well.
It was as though even the collapse of Heaven and the splitting of Earth could not shake his state of mind.
"The human race's crime?"
"It is only because our human race has no Saint, nor any means to contend against Saints!"
"This is the human race's greatest crime!"
Supreme Master of the Primordial Limitless Teaching, Zhou Qing Is Here!
"It is only because our human race has no Saint, nor any means to contend against Saints!"
"This is the human race's greatest crime!"
The Imperial Envoy's words fell.
This time, Yi Zi and Fang Yun did not refute him.
Nor could they refute him.
As for the ordinary humans, their faces were filled with sorrow as they fell silent.
The Imperial Envoy's words pierced the human race's hearts. Yet they were a fact known to all and impossible to reverse.
Every word struck like a pearl, tearing open their wounds until blood flowed freely!
This was the human race's current situation.
And those words seemed like the final blade slashing down upon the human race, utterly shattering all their hopes until nothing remained.
"The human race has no Saint. That is our greatest crime!"
Someone murmured softly, and a trace of despair had already appeared in their eyes.
In that case, everything they had done today was merely a futile act of resistance born from not knowing the immensity of Heaven and Earth.
In the Primordial World, strength was supreme!
Everyone knew that if the true powerhouses of the demon race came, the human race would no longer have any hope of survival.
At the same time, the Imperial Envoy's words fell upon Zhou Yuan's ears like an enlightening revelation, awakening him.
That was right. This was a High-end Primordial World, filled with danger.
And every force capable of becoming an overlord in this world was, without exception, protected by a Saint's faction.
Behind the Heavenly Court stood the lofty Dao Ancestor!
Western Buddhism had the two Saints, Zhunti and Jieyin, overseeing it.
The demon race possessed the Cosmic Star Array and Innate Supreme Treasures. It also had Eastern Emperor Taiyi, hailed as the "strongest beneath the Saints," whose combat power was unmatched and whose edge no one could confront head-on.
As for the Witch Race, it possessed the Twelve Heavenly God-Demon Array, capable of summoning the phantom of Great God Pangu.
Furthermore, Ping Xin, the Saint who now controlled the Six Paths of Reincarnation, had once been one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches of the Witch Race.
The Demonic Cult had Demon Ancestor Luohu, while the dragon, phoenix, and qilin clans had the first batch of great mighty figures in the world.
Beyond that, there were the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect, which needed no further mention.
And what did the human race have?
Nothing!
Absolutely nothing!
In the past, Saint Nuwa created the human race and attained the Primordial Dao. After that, she ignored them, leaving them to fend for themselves.
Though Laozi established the Human Sect, he merely left behind an ordinary Golden Core Great Dao, which was utterly insufficient to make the human race powerful.
Even among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, whom the human race revered most, there was Fuxi, a being of the demon race.
By this point, Zhou Yuan understood as well.
The reason Fuxi had attained the position of Heavenly Emperor of the human race was not because he wished for the human race to prosper.
All he sought was the human race's karmic fortune and merit.
The reason was simple: the human race was the nominal protagonist of Heaven and Earth.
Therefore, countless factions secretly coveted them, seeking to claim a share.
They plundered the human race's karmic fortune and merit, yet still treated them as blood food, wantonly harvesting them.
This was precisely why the human race had survived until now. It was not because the demon race and the Saints were merciful.
It was because the human race still had some use and could not yet be exterminated.
But once they were no longer needed, they could be discarded like worn-out shoes.
