Plan Before You Act, Young Man!

The story of the Golden Crow Race being tricked and the fall of three immortals spread like wildfire. But the truth can't be hidden forever, especially when it comes to the death of immortals.

The fall of a True Immortal is not a rare occurrence in the myriad realms. Although True Immortal are few in number, there are still around ten thousand. Occasionally a few die, but after a thousand or ten thousand years, a few more will rise to the top, so the overall number is not much different.

However, the simultaneous death of three powerful beings is tantamount to wiping out a major clan, which raises some questions, especially considering they were vassal True Immortal under the rule of the powerful Golden Crow clan...

This is a huge problem!

All the immortals who were paying attention to this matter could guess that someone had done it deliberately in order to suppress the Golden Crow Race, but who it was was a matter of much speculation.

After all, who can say for sure about these things?

Logically speaking, when the Golden Crow Race suffers, whoever benefits the most is naturally the most suspicious. The beneficiaries are none other than the great clans of the heavens, or the Grand Yin Hall, which has already submitted to the Endless Land...

But that doesn't make sense. If it were the work of a powerful force, why would they bother killing three insignificant vassal True Immortal? Wouldn't it have been more advantageous to simply kill the two Golden Immortal monsters of the Golden Crow Race?

This matter is highly suspicious.

Ultimately, the matter was dropped, and the Golden Crow Race could only investigate it secretly...

As for the Qin Humans Race, a large clan that had completely opened up the Nebula and cultivated its own development, they had long since settled in a corner of the world.

No one would think too much about them. Now that things are going smoothly, why would they want to cause trouble? Therefore, they are not highly suspected, and the immortals couldn't figure out why he did this.

not to mention--

Now that the Qin Humans Race have united with various tribes in the Vast Spirit Star Domain to form an expeditionary force to explore the vast starry sea, why would they provoke the powerful Golden Crow race at this time...?

It simply doesn't make sense from any angle, so no one doubts it anymore.

5000th year of the Great Qin Dynasty --

Since the last attack on the Golden Crow Race, Qin Lu has once again gone into hiding, avoiding the limelight in preparation for the next ambush...

In these years, the Qin Humans Race have become more low-key and stable. After nearly a thousand years of pioneering, the entire Great Qin Nebula has gradually turned inward to cultivate and survive.

The nebula grew even larger, adding more than ten subsidiary planes, increasing its food supply, and bringing in even more vassal races...

Also in that year.

After Qin Daoyuan became the clan leader, he began to reform the Qin Humans, namely, to integrate and reorganize the direct descendants and collateral branches.

The twenty generational names [Mingxin Xuanying Dao, Mingqi Zhen Qiankun, Xiupei Benyuan Mao, Wanye Guyongnian] have long been used up...

In addition, the lifespan of low-level cultivators differs greatly from that of high-level cultivators, so in just a few thousand years, these generations of cultivators naturally become insufficient.

Some older cultivators, such as those at the Spirit Transformation, have lifespans of up to ten thousand years. In addition, due to the special bloodline of the Qin Humans, their lifespans can reach more than fifteen thousand years. As a result, the generational naming system has gradually become chaotic.

Therefore.

Qin Daoyuan added another twenty characters to the original twenty generation names: [Fu Hong Yu Si Xu, Pi Chang Qi Wei Ben, Qing He Ming Xi Lie, Quan Yao Zhi Jun Yuan].

There are a total of forty generations, and from now on, the generational names will no longer be chosen based on the succession of offspring, but will be limited to a period of one thousand years.

Throughout this millennium, all born members of the Qin Clan belonged to the same generation, regardless of whether they were fathers, sons, grandfathers, or grandsons; however, in private, they each followed their own generational naming conventions.

Currently, we are in the "Yu" generation, and the next generational change will occur in the year 5800 of the Great Qin Dynasty, at which time the "Si" generation will begin...

Secondly, there is the generational order.

After the last generation of the "Yuan" character ends, the generational naming system restarts, beginning with the "Ming" generation and rearranging the order...

Forty generations, one cycle, takes forty thousand years. Except for those who become immortals, it is possible to avoid the ancestors of the same generation in the previous cycle.

This is a change to the generational naming rules of the Qin Humans Clan, in order to clarify the clan genealogy rules.

This is just one aspect.

Secondly, there is the distinction between the direct line and the collateral branches. Now that the Qin Clan family has become a clan of its own, the distinction between the main and collateral branches must be made clearly. The direct line can cultivate the Qin Humans Bloodline Dao, as well as the four core inheritances of soul, yang, water, and thunder.

In addition, collateral relatives are no longer allowed to have generational names; all those with generational names must be from the direct line. Those who are not from the direct line are not allowed to have generational names.

Even the direct descendants are subject to selection.

If a direct descendant has offspring whose aptitude is below the seventh inch of spiritual light, they are all demoted to a collateral branch; only those with the seventh inch of spiritual light are allowed to survive...

This also applies to collateral descendants; those with exceptional intelligence can be directly promoted to direct lineage and given a generational name.

also--

Previously, collateral branches could only gain promotion to the main branch through competitions, but this rule has now been completely changed.

For collateral descendants to advance to the direct lineage, there is only one requirement: to advance to the Spirit Transformation Realm. Those who are not at the Spirit Transformation are not allowed to join the direct lineage of the clan!

The promulgation of this set of clan rules directly divided the clan into two groups.

One is a collateral bloodline with tens of millions of members, and the other is a direct bloodline with fewer than ten thousand members.

Under such rules, every direct descendant is either a chosen one of heaven or a high-level Spirit Transformation stage. With such propagation, the quality of their offspring is further enhanced!

Qin Daoyuan and the other clan elders wanted to increase the probability of producing geniuses and even promote the emergence of those with Innate Spirit Physique through this method.

This direct bloodline was naturally divided into seven branches, inheriting from the seven ancestors of the Qin Clan in the second generation. The competition among the seven direct branches was also fierce.

This concerns who will have the opportunity to receive preferential treatment from their clan's resources, which is the key to becoming an immortal!

Filial Piety Branch had Qin Zhenyu, True Immortal of the Lightning Dao; Martial Branch had Qin Daoran, True Immortal of the Fire Yang Dao; and Governance Branch's ancestor, Qin Zheng, was True Immortal of the Water Dao...

The other four sects, however, have not yet produced any True Immortal, and thus have naturally fallen behind.

As for the enormous Qin Humans's collateral branches, numbering in the tens of millions, the clan naturally wouldn't ignore them, but instead divided them into forty-nine sub-branches.

That is, seven schools and forty-nine lineages!

Each lineage governs seven branches, which serve as the foundation of the Qin Humans Race, expanding and contributing to the clan's development...

Using methods akin to the art of poisoning, these less talented members of the branch families were forced to fight and compete with each other, thus contributing to the Lineage's success.

Only through constant competition can a small number of strong individuals, possessing great perseverance and great fortune, emerge from among those who are not naturally gifted!

This is the new clan rule that Qin Daoyuan sought.

The purpose is to create a continuous stream of powerful individuals to serve the clan...

The Primordial Land – The Cloud Sea Immortal Domain!

Qin Yuhua sat atop a cloud peak, surrounded by a sea of clouds imbued with Immortal Spiritual Qi to nourish all living beings. There were also craggy rocks, towering mountains and deep valleys, with cloud dragons swimming among them and countless rare and exotic beasts. It could truly be called a blessed land of immortals.

This place is in the northern part of the Cloud Sea Immortal Domain, in a region called [Immortal Ascension Mountain]. This place was once the Daoist temple of a True Immortal of the Dao of Clouds...

But later, that True Immortal vanished, and this land was bestowed upon the Qin Humans Race.

It is also the largest branch altar of the Qin Humans Race in the Primordial Land. Although there is no True Immortal in charge, there are dozens of Nascent Spirit Transformation living here.

Within the Great Qin Nebula, cultivators seeking a more expansive world are directly guided to this branch altar after their ascension...

This is to ensure the Qin Humans Race continue to be used, and also to prevent the Divine Court from poaching and absorbing the geniuses and talents cultivated by the Qin Humans Race...

Qin Yuhua, on the other hand, came here to gain experience.

Although young, he is of the direct lineage of the Qin Humans, with a natural talent of nine inches and three fen. At just over a hundred years old, he has already reached the Golden Core Late Stage.
