The Definition of Humanity and the Timing of Spiritual Qi Recovery
Liu Yi was surprised after hearing Yue Ji's story.
It's unbelievable that the Human Race in High Antiquity times was so powerful, far surpassing the combined strength of all the Hundred Races of High Antiquity. No wonder they were able to ascend to the position of the protagonist of heaven and earth.
But then a lingering worry arose in his mind:
The Immortal King of the other races did not necessarily all perish in the High Antiquity war.
If any survivors remain, they will surely reappear in the world when the spiritual energy of the Azure Billows Realm Spiritual Qi Revival and the seals and restrictions that shroud the heavens and earth dissipate.
At that time, the Human Race, who are now the protagonists of heaven and earth, will inevitably bear the brunt.
Occupying vast territories, if one's own strength is insufficient, the ultimate fate is self-evident.
Those Non-Self kind will surely have different hearts.
This is not an empty statement.
All sentient beings distinguish between close and distant relationships; even within the same race, there is mutual slaughter, let alone between different races.
Racial conflict is not about right or wrong, but only about differing perspectives.
That is why he only allows Human Race to bind to the Fairness System, and not other races to bind to the system indiscriminately.
As the master of the system, how could he allow the Fairness System to strengthen the alien races and then suppress his own?
Furthermore, if a large number of other races are mixed into the Fairness System, it will inevitably breed all sorts of conflicts and chaos, which is simply asking for trouble.
Therefore, although the Fairness System does not explicitly prohibit binding between different races, currently, apart from Little Yellow, who was specially permitted by him, no other race has been able to successfully bind.
The reason is actually quite simple.
The threshold for joining the Fairness System seems extremely low; one only needs to be a vicious and inhumane person.
But this threshold was originally set up for Human Race.
Only Human Race possess humanity; how can other races claim to have humanity?
Naturally, it cannot be bound.
This reason is irrefutable and enough to convince people of other races that the bondage failed because of a lack of humanity.
Even if they suspect the Fairness System is biased, there's nothing they can do.
However, Liu Yi has also opened up a small number of slots to accept those from other races who genuinely consider themselves members of the Human Race, thereby concealing Little Yellow's special status.
However, he was unsure when the Spiritual Qi Revival would actually arrive.
If the arrival is too hasty, the system host will not have enough time to grow. When the Hundred Races of High Antiquity are born, they will inevitably cause a fierce impact on the Human Race, and conflict and bloodshed will be unavoidable.
As a member of the Human Race, he naturally hoped that the Human Race could sweep away all other races and forever occupy the position of the protagonist of heaven and earth.
If given enough time, he could break through to the Martial King Realm. At that time, even if Hundred Races of High Antiquity came out together, he could suppress them all and prevent them from causing any disturbance.
The most urgent task is to find out the exact time of the Spiritual Qi Revival so that we can be prepared.
As Immortal King, Yue Ji before him might know the time when Spiritual Qi Revival;
Even if she didn't know, he could ask Su Yuxuan. As a reborn person, she should know the timing of this upheaval.
Liu Yi immediately asked, "Fellow Yue Ji Yueji, do you know exactly when the Spiritual Qi Revival will occur?"
Yue Ji gently shook her head. "I cannot determine the exact time of such a cataclysmic change affecting the world."
However, based on the timeline of the Azure Billows Realm, the world will fully recover in a hundred to a thousand years.
She immediately smiled and comforted her gently, "You don't need to worry."
With the current Fairness System in place, coupled with the hundredfold increase in time flow in the Land of Exile, the strength of the Human Race has skyrocketed.
Even if the Hundred Races of High Antiquity were to reappear, they would be no match for the Human Race today.
As for the Immortal King experts, our Human Race's Immortal King stationed in the Azure Billows Realm will handle them.
Moreover, with your talent, you will have already become Immortal King (Martial King) by then, and among those of the same realm, I'm afraid no one can match you."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
Even if we calculate based on the shortest time of a hundred years in the Azure Billows Realm, the time in the Land of Exile would be ten thousand years.
Given such a long period of time, he may have already broken through to the Martial Lord Realm, and may even have reached the Martial Emperor (Immortal Emperor) realm.
When the Hundred Races of High Antiquity emerge, they will not be able to cause any trouble. Even if he does not take action personally, the other system hosts will be able to suppress them.
"The slower the Spiritual Qi Revival in the Azure Billows Realm recovers, the stronger our Human Race will become."
When the Hundred Races of High Antiquity reappear, they will likely face Human Race that is even more powerful than in High Antiquity.
By then, they'll probably be completely stunned!
An amusing scene flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but chuckle.
The same image flashed through Yue Ji's mind, and she immediately covered her mouth and chuckled:
"Those Hundred Races of High Antiquity probably never dreamed that such a heaven-defying artifact as the Fairness System existed in the world, capable of boosting the strength of their entire race in one fell swoop."
Her tone shifted, and her expression suddenly turned serious. "However, the Fairness System did not explicitly state that it was limited to binding with Human Race only."
"If any member of the Hundred Races of High Antiquity were to bind to the system, their cultivation would also advance by leaps and bounds, at which point the pressure on our Human Race would increase significantly."
Liu Yi remained calm and said in a flat tone, "The binding threshold for the Fairness System is that only those who are extremely vicious and inhumane can participate."
"Think about it," he said, "Those Hundred Races of High Antiquity weren't human, how many of them truly possessed humanity?"
"Ah!"
Yue Ji's mouth opened slightly, and a look of sudden realization instantly appeared on her beautiful face. "You're right! How come I didn't think of that?"
Liu Yi smiled slightly, thinking to himself, "You would never guess, after all, the definition of human nature has always been up to me."
"As long as I define its boundaries, the vast majority of alien races will be unable to bind to the system."
Afterwards, he savored the Spirit Cuisine while exchanging cultivation insights with Yue Ji.
At the same time, he opened Microchat and sent a message to Su Yuxuan:
"Fellow Daoist Su, do you know how long it will be before the Spiritual Qi Revival you mentioned in the Blood Devil Secret Realm last time is over?"
As soon as the message was sent, Su Yuxuan replied instantly, "Senior Liu, according to my calculations, it will be about 258 years before the Spiritual Qi Revival."
At that time, the world will undergo dramatic changes, Spiritual Qi will surge, folded spaces will reappear, and the world's territory will expand accordingly.
Of course, the Hundred Races of High Antiquity that have been hidden from the world will also re-emerge, which will lead to conflict with our Human Race.
However, right now, our Human Race has the help of the Fairness System, coupled with the hundredfold time flow of the Land of Exile.
That's equivalent to having 25,800 years to grow, which is enough for our Human Race to make rapid progress.
"Crushing those Hundred Races of High Antiquity will be an easy task."
Liu Yi caught a glimpse of the words "258 years" and his eyes suddenly lit up with a sharp light.
With such a long time, at his current cultivation speed, he could easily cultivate to the Martial Emperor.
But he dared not be careless in the slightest.
After all, his arrival has already brought about earth-shattering changes to the world, and the timeline of the Spiritual Qi Revival may not follow the trajectory before Su Yuxuan's rebirth.
The current Fairness System can also extract void turbulence from the endless void and convert it into energy, which is tantamount to strengthening the Azure Billows Realm;
Furthermore, the ever-increasing strength of the Human Race will also drive the gradual improvement of the Great Dao Principle of the Azure Billows Realm.
With so many variables intertwined, the pace of Spiritual Qi Revival in the Azure Billows Realm is very likely to be accelerated.
Fortunately, even if the Spiritual Qi Revival is ahead of schedule, it will certainly not happen suddenly.
This period of time is enough for him to break through to the Martial King Realm, or even a higher realm.
He was confident that he could suppress anyone who came before him.
Afterwards, while discussing cultivation insights with Yue Ji, he also exchanged views with Su Yuxuan on Microchat about the problems that would arise during the Spiritual Qi Revival in the Azure Billows Realm.
