If Emperor Fuxi were to intervene and protect them, the Human Race would be safe.
Therefore, the appearance of the Imperial Envoy became the Human Race's last sliver of hope.
"Our Human Race is saved!"
For a time, countless roars from the Human Race echoed, filled with immense joy and excitement.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yuan, Bai Ze, Fang Yun, and others all looked towards the envoy sent by Fuxi, their expressions varied.
However.
Just as all the humans rejoiced and hoped, the Imperial Envoy's actions defied everyone's expectations.
He merely glanced indifferently at Bai Ze, Yi Zi, and the others.
Then, his gaze settled on Yi Zi and Fang Yun.
"By Imperial Decree, you shall immediately retreat and cease this conflict!"
Silence!
A deathly silence!
The Human Race stared blankly, unable to believe what they were seeing.
Fuxi's decree was not to order the Demon Race's Bai Ze and the others to retreat.
Instead, it was to order Yi Zi and Fang Yun to stop fighting?
This completely surpassed everyone's imagination.
"Hmph, Fuxi is the Heavenly Emperor, he should be the protector of the Human Race."
"Why is he ordering us to retreat now?"
Fang Yun glared at the Imperial Envoy, questioning him sternly.
Upon hearing this, the Imperial Envoy's expression remained calm and unruffled.
In fact, the so-called Imperial Envoy was also from the Human Race.
Yet, facing the calamity that befell the Human Race, the brutal slaughter by the Demon Race, this hellish scene on earth.
The so-called envoy showed no trace of compassion.
He responded calmly:
"You need not ask further, the Heavenly Emperor has his own considerations!"
His voice paused, and a vast aura suddenly erupted, enveloping Yi Zi and Fang Yun.
"Do you intend to defy the Heavenly Emperor's command?"
These words were incredibly majestic, like a judgment, filled with blatant arrogance.
It was as if Yi Zi and Fang Yun would bear immense sin if they did not retreat.
Seeing the Imperial Envoy's heartless and indifferent attitude—no, perhaps this was Emperor Fuxi's attitude—Fang Yun was utterly enraged!
"Hahaha, the Human Race was born under the mandate of heaven, standing between heaven and earth!"
"Yet now we are treated as food by the Demon Race, our blood and flesh consumed, our souls captured to forge strange and evil weapons!"
"We are merely defending ourselves against an external enemy, what crime have we committed?"
Fang Yun laughed, his laughter filled with bitterness and sorrow.
He roared towards the sky, not so much questioning the Imperial Envoy, but rather questioning the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi, who remained high above and had yet to appear.
"Why should we retreat?!"
The last sentence, though spoken calmly by Fang Yun, boomed like rolling thunder across heaven and earth.
At the same time, countless humans glared with anger, awaiting the Imperial Envoy's reply.
They were confused. The Human Race had never provoked any race in the world, merely living in seclusion.
Why must they endure such a terrifying catastrophe?
And now, finally, there were supreme powerhouses like Yi Zi and Fang Yun standing up for the Human Race.
Yet Emperor Fuxi sought to obstruct them.
Did Fuxi wish for the Human Race to bare their throats for slaughter, allowing the Demon Race to run rampant?
The Human Race was unwilling!
They wanted an explanation!
The Imperial Envoy looked at the grief-stricken Fang Yun, his words still as calm and unruffled as a dry well.
It was as if even the sky collapsing would not shake his composure.
"The crime of the Human Race?"
"It is merely that our Human Race has no Saints, nor any means to contend with Saints!"
"This is the greatest sin of our Human Race!"
Chapter 16: The Supreme Master of the Primordial Limitless Teaching, Zhou Qing!
"It's simply because our Human Race has no Saints, nor any means to contend with them!"
"This is the greatest sin of our Human Race!"
The Imperial Envoy's words fell.
This time, Yi Zi and Fang Yun did not retort.
They had no way to retort.
As for the ordinary members of the Human Race, their faces filled with grief as they fell into silence.
The Imperial Envoy's words pierced the hearts of the Human Race, yet it was a fact that everyone knew and could not reverse.
Every word was a pearl, tearing open wounds and revealing bloody scars!
This was the current state of the Human Race.
And this sentence was like the final blade swung at the Human Race, completely shattering all of their hopes, leaving nothing behind.
"The Human Race has no Saints; this is the greatest sin!"
Someone muttered in a low voice, a hint of despair already appearing in their eyes.
If that was the case, then everything they had done today was merely a futile resistance by those who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth.
In the Primordial World, strength reigns supreme!
Everyone knew that if the true powerhouses of the Demon Race were provoked, the Human Race would have no hope of survival.
At the same time, the Imperial Envoy's words fell upon Zhou Yuan's ears like a sudden enlightenment, awakening him.
That's right, this was a world of high-level Primordial existence, filled with danger.
Those who could become overlords in this world were, without exception, protected by Saintly forces.
Behind the Heavenly Court stood the high and mighty Dao Ancestor!
Western Buddhism had the two Saints Zhunti and Jieyin guarding it.
The Demon Race had the Cosmic Star Array, innate supreme treasures, and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, known as the "number one person below the Saints," whose combat power was extraordinary, and no one could directly confront his might.
As for the Witch Race, they had the Twelve Heavenly God-Demon Array, which could summon the phantom image of the Great God Pangu.
Furthermore, Saint Ping Xin, who now controlled the Six Paths of Reincarnation, was once one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches of the Witch Race.
The Demonic Cult had the Demon Ancestor Luohu, while the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin races had the world's first batch of powerful figures.
In addition, there were the Heavenly Origin Sect and the Intercepting Sect, which went without saying.
And the Human Race?
They had nothing!
Nothing at all!
In the past, Saint Nuwa founded the Human Race and attained Hun Yuan, but then she paid no attention to them, leaving them to fend for themselves.
Although Laozi established the Human Teaching, he merely left behind an ordinary Golden Core Great Dao, which was not enough to make the Human Race strong.
Even among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, whom the Human Race revered the most, there was the existence of Emperor Fuxi, a creature of the Demon Race.
At this point, Zhou Yuan finally understood.
The reason why Fuxi achieved the position of Human Emperor was not for the sake of the Human Race's growth.
What he schemed for was merely the Human Race's destiny and merit.
The reason was simple: the Human Race was the nominal protagonist of heaven and earth.
Therefore, countless forces coveted them from the shadows, wanting a piece of the pie.
They plundered the Human Race's destiny and merit, yet treated them as mere sustenance, arbitrarily seizing it.
This was precisely why the Human Race had survived to this day, not because of the Demon Race or the Saints' mercy.
It was because the Human Race still had some use, and could not be exterminated.
And when they were no longer needed, they could be discarded like worn-out shoes.
