"More formidable than my Fu Shi Religion?"
Chen Xun narrowed his eyes, his interest piqued.
"Of course not."
Qing Fu and the others spoke in unison. It was simply that these ancient prominent families were barefoot and unafraid of those wearing shoes. They had created their own realms, and their lineages consisted entirely of descendants of prominent families. Their households and enterprises were small, free from the constraints of the great powers on all sides.
They were also strongly opposed to the great convergence of all races, and thus greatly supported Gu Shenyu's grand ambition.
As for whether they were the Human Race or not...
They had never acknowledged the concept of race, much less any identity as Blood Food. When traveling abroad, they only called themselves descendants of Longevity Families. If anyone refused to accept that, they killed them.
The Desolate Heaven Domain was filled with powerful experts and had always been chaotic. Not a trace of the Blood Food Race could be found there. Whoever possessed the deeper Dao was in the right.
The existence of these Human Race Longevity Families also happened to bear witness to the Human Race's glorious past as one of the first living beings between heaven and earth during the Sui Ancient Era.
It was merely that, back then, some Human Race experts had wanted to prove the strength of their race, while others had not wanted to prove anything and had fled instead.
Thus, the ancient prominent families came into being.
In order to tear themselves apart from the Human Race, they had trumpeted the title of Longevity Family. It sounded quite intimidating, and it truly had frightened far too many experts in the Desolate Heaven Domain. Everyone called them ancient prominent families or Longevity Families.
None dared call them Human Slaves
