As everyone felt a chill run down their spines, the hall fell into an eerie silence.
Only the heavy breathing that rose and fell revealed the fear in everyone's hearts.
After a long while, the chief of the Poplar Clan slowly stood up.
His face was ashen, his gaze fixed on the soaring sunset outside the hall.
His hands unconsciously gripped the handrails tightly, his knuckles turning white.
His voice was deep, yet it carried a tremor that was difficult to conceal:
"Don't panic. Quickly send the clan's elite scouts to the old Black Tree Clan territory."
We must thoroughly investigate this upheaval among the Human Race; not a single detail should be overlooked.
The scouts sped away like arrows released from a bow.
The people inside the hall remained uneasy.
They whispered and discussed it endlessly.
Within the territory of the Pine and Cypress Clan, there was also an uproar.
The elders of the clan gathered together, each with a furrowed brow.
His face was full of worry.
An elderly man with white hair but vigorous spirit slammed his hand on the table.
He shouted angrily, "That Human Race brat actually has such abilities!"
Overthrowing the Black Tree Clan wasn't the end of it.
And yet, such an earth-shattering commotion has erupted once again!
The foundation built by our clan over many years
We must not let things be ruined in an instant; we must plan ahead.
Whether to fight or make peace, a decision must be made as soon as possible!
Everyone nodded, but then looked at each other in bewilderment.
They couldn't come up with a foolproof plan.
The tranquil valley where the Willow Tree Clan resided was now shrouded in panic.
The clan's holy maiden Liu Yirou, stood by the stream, gazing at the distant glow of the sunset.
She gently bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, her delicate brows furrowed, and murmured to herself:
"In the past, I had only heard that the Human Race was on the rise, but I never expected it to be so rapid..."
Our clan has always been peaceful and content with the world, but now, given the current situation...
It seems unlikely that he can remain unscathed.
A glint of determination flashed in her eyes.
It seemed that she already had a plan in mind.
In the flower sea secret realm of the Ten Flowers Clan, blooming flowers sway in the breeze.
But the leisurely pace of the past was gone.
The ten flower masters formed a circle, their spiritual energy fluctuating chaotically.
Clearly, their emotions are not at peace. This unusual movement by the Human Race...
It must have been that mysterious little girl who stirred up this storm.
She single-handedly turned the tide of the battle; if left unchecked...
Our peoples are in grave danger!
The leader of the Red Flower Clan was impatient and took the initiative to attack, his words filled with anxiety.
The pink-flowered master gently waved her folding fan and pondered, "The most urgent matter at hand..."
They must either unite with other races to fight against Human Race, or preemptively offer their sincere desire for peace.
But striking the right balance is truly difficult...
Meanwhile, on the Human Race, Ye Changge watched as the army's momentum transformed into an unstoppable force.
Although he was pleased, he also knew that trouble was coming.
He turned to look at Ye Xiaoxiao, who was nestled beside him.
He said softly, " Xiaoxiao, there are probably still tough battles ahead."
"Are you scared?" Ye Xiaoxiao raised her small face, her eyes clear and firm.
A crisp voice replied, "Wherever brother is, Xiaoxiao will be there."
I'm not afraid of those guys!
Meanwhile, the Black Tree Clan's great ancestor, who had gone into hiding and fled,
He was currently lying in wait in a dark and secluded place, his aura weak and feeble.
Yet, a murderous intent surged within him. " Human Race brat, how dare you destroy my entire race!"
If I don't avenge this, I will be unworthy of being the Black Tree Ancestor! Once I find my former allies...
Once I've gathered all these treasures, I'll tear you to pieces!
Having said that, he suppressed his injuries and summoned a communication talisman.
With a flickering light, the message was sent to an unknown land.
The news reported by the scouts was like a boulder thrown into water, causing a huge uproar among all the tribes.
The fact that the Human Race army has grown significantly stronger is now confirmed, and all races are living in constant fear.
Poplar Clan sighed deeply, "The outcome of the war is uncertain."
The lives of the clansmen were in grave danger; they fled, abandoning their long-standing roots and becoming refugees.
Enough, enough. Let's send someone ahead to probe and sue for peace.
If the Human Race make things difficult, then we'll prepare for a desperate last stand.
"Other ethnic groups, upon hearing this, followed suit, and in a short time..."
Messengers from various races, seeking peace, flocked to the Human Race camp like a swarm of locusts crossing a river.
Before the Human Race camp, the envoys stood trembling with fear.
They presented treasures and rare artifacts from various ethnic groups, using flattering words.
Ye Changge sat high in the command tent, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.
He declared loudly, "Seek peace? In the past, my Human Race was weak..."
You showed me no pity, but now you see my strength.
They come wagging their tails and begging for mercy, what do they take me for, Human Race? However...
I am not a bloodthirsty person; if you truly submit,
"By offering up our territory and paying tribute annually, we can ensure the peace and tranquility of your people."
The envoys looked at each other, inwardly groaning in despair.
But he dared not disobey, and could only slink back to report.
The various ethnic groups debated this issue endlessly and weighed the pros and cons repeatedly.
Most chose to submit in humiliation, while only a few hardliners secretly plotted a united resistance.
Amidst this undercurrent of tension, the mysterious aid contacted by the Black Tree Clan's Great Ancestor quietly appeared.
"Kill"
Before the Human Race could react, a terrifying attack swept in from all directions.
For a time, the Human Race was thrown into chaos.
"Who is it? Don't they want to live? This is Human Race territory!"
Xiang Yu was cultivating when he suddenly sensed a powerful aura, so he stopped cultivating and soared into the sky.
But the next moment, he was sent flying by an attack.
"How dare you! My Human Race is not a place where you can act so recklessly!"
Shoot Shoot
As the voice faded, powerful auras surged into the sky.
They all turned their attacks on the person who made the move.
The attack was quick, but the return flight was even faster.
Pfft
Pfft
"Damn it, the newcomers are too strong; we're no match for them."
Xue Rengui coughed up a mouthful of blood.
He said with a solemn expression.
Ye Changge appeared at this moment.
His gaze was fixed on the darkness.
"You remnants of the Black Tree Clan, do you really think our Human Race is so easy to bully?"
As he spoke, he leaped into the air and unleashed Shadow Flying Dagger.
A soul-searching attack, impossible to defend against.
A scream rang out, and a figure was sent flying backward from the darkness.
" Human Race, you're courting death."
"Everyone, make your move!"
As they spoke, eight more powerful figures emerged from the darkness.
They immediately surrounded Ye Changge.
" Origin God Fifth Layer, is this the confidence you have to attack my Human Race?"
Ye Changge was full of disdain.
The Shadow Flying Dagger unleashed a barrage of attacks.
In an instant, screams of agony rang out.
They then crashed down.
" Human Race, you're good. This won't end like this."
As he spoke, the other party directly exposed himself.
In an instant, terrifying fireworks erupted throughout the Black Tree Forest.
"To think you can make a name for yourself by just showing up as a clerk is just asking for trouble."
Ye Changge angrily.
"You scum of Myriad Races, since you are so reckless, then tomorrow we will send out our troops to sweep through the Tree Clan World. You may all return to your cultivation."
Ye Changge was filled with murderous intent.
To him, this was a provocation against Human Race.
If that's the case, then the Tree Clan, this great race, has no reason to exist.
Ye Changge's harsh words,
The Human Race camp was immediately filled with fervor.
The soldiers were all eager to fight, their eyes gleaming with burning battle intent.
It was a burning desire for victory and a furious Flame born from being provoked.
The crowd roared in agreement and retreated swiftly like a tide.
They each returned to their tents to cultivate in seclusion, preparing for the upcoming great battle.
For a moment, the camp was so quiet that only the faint hum of surging spiritual energy could be heard.
However, the Tree Clan World seemed to be completely shrouded in dark clouds at this moment.
Upon hearing Ye Changge's declaration to sweep away the Tree Clan, the Poplar, Pine, Willow, and Ten-Flower clans...
They immediately sensed impending doom, and internal strife instantly intensified.
The peacemakers were furious, cursing the Black Tree Clan's patriarch for bringing trouble upon himself.
Implicates various ethnic groups; the hardliners, though apprehensive,
But they gritted their teeth and prepared for war, trying to win over allies everywhere.
They were even willing to offer hefty sums and huge profits, just to find a sliver of hope for survival under the iron heel of the Human Race.
The Black Tree Clan's Great Ancestor remained hidden deep within the secret realm, his face so somber it could drip water.
The flickering light and shadow before him were illusionary projections of the angry accusations from the other tribal chiefs.
"Hmph, what's the use of blaming me now?"
If we do not unite to resist the enemy, the calamity that befell our people today will be...
That will be your fate tomorrow! That Human Race brat is arrogant and unrestrained.
"If we don't nip it in the bud, how will our various races survive in the future?"
The Great Ancestor roared, spittle flying everywhere.
The tribal chiefs exchanged wry smiles, left with no other choice.
They had no choice but to temporarily set aside their grievances and assemble a coalition army.
Composed of elites from various ethnic groups, they trained day and night.
They attempted to build a defensive line to withstand the onslaught of the Human Race.
