The Water Spirits' situation isn't good—not as good as you might imagine.

Before the three powerful races, the sea creatures were as docile as huskies, but before a single fourth-realm water spirit, they no longer needed to hide their true nature.

[As for the human race... the human race is too busy being kind to themselves and Jinling, how could they possibly share their benefits with other spirit races?]

On the surface, the Eldar appear to favor the Humans; in reality, while most are nominally allies of the Humans, they are essentially subordinate to them.

After all, the vast majority of the Spirit Race's fourth-realm combat power comes from the Golden Spirits, and all the Golden Spirits at the fourth realm advanced with the assistance of the Human Race.

Therefore, the Water Spirit, Fire Spirit, and the like, to put it bluntly, all climbed the social ladder by associating with the Metal Spirit.

[Speaking of Jin Ling.]

[You reminded the King of Gold Rehmannia plants to maintain harmony within their family a few years ago, and in doing so, you gained their friendship.]

[However, adding flowers to brocade is ultimately not as good as providing charcoal in the snow. Most of the children in the Rehmannia glutinosa family only have slight dissatisfaction; it hasn't reached the point of intense conflict, or even rebellion against their fathers.]

Therefore, the gratitude you received was not as great as what Yun Shi experienced.

"Saving lives at critical moments maximizes the gratitude you receive... and there's a reason for that."

"The kindness of getting a vaccination can never compare to being half-dead from an illness and then being rescued, even though one might not have survived without the vaccination."

[You click your tongue, but in another thirty or forty years, when the four great internet demons emerge and begin to drive a wedge between the father and son of the Earth God, they will realize how good you are.]

[In 2941, you received a notification from the Supreme Hall that the plan was being adjusted, and the allocation of points to the "Essence Transporters" would be temporarily suspended, as the human race was preparing to launch a holy war.]

However, they are not about to launch a holy war immediately, as that would be too unprofitable. After a series of meticulous calculations, the Supreme Hall anticipates that when the benefits of maximizing point gains are achieved, and when high-quality Supremes lack martial arts resources and urgently need to expand their territories, they will choose the "best" time to initiate a holy war against the Demon Race.

That would be about 150 years from now.

[You at 86: "..."]

14-year-old Yun Shou: "..."

[That's almost equivalent to you living two lifetimes in this lifetime.]

That's already the length of ten lifetimes he's lived in this one.

[A strategic plan on a racial level, a holy war between two races poised to unleash earth-shattering changes, with preparations for its outbreak spanning a century!]

[After thinking about it, it seems that the Human-Demon Holy War and the Human-Mongolian Holy War, which were originally scheduled to break out in 2999 and 3225 respectively, are also in this pattern.]

The core of the human-demon holy war lies in the Jinling Rebellion, which stems from the erosion and alteration of the underlying code by the "Four Great Evils of the Meta-Energy Network."

[Those four evil demons began deliberately devouring metallic substances from the third realm, the "Myriad Matter" stage, transforming their forms closer to those of a metal spirit, and then using this to advance to the fourth realm. They also inscribed elemental energy patterns within their bodies... This is not something that can be accomplished overnight!]

They were the result of over a century of prior preparation!

[The same applies to the demon race. Yang Dingtian, the initiator of the Holy War between humans and demons, was also born much earlier, less than ten years younger than you. He also underwent more than three hundred years of growth, becoming an invincible demon lord before initiating the Holy War!]

In this simulation, Yang Dingtian is not yet dead; he shines brightly within the Demon Realm like a newly risen sun!

[According to information relayed by humans lurking within the demon realm, it is only in its seventies, yet it can suppress even a peak-stage third-realm demon of ordinary bloodline.]

Based on your intelligence analysis, you estimate that the combat power multiplier brought by its Golden Crow bloodline is approximately twelve times, which is three times higher than when it was at the peak of the second realm.

"The Yang Bird clan is full of powerful demons."

Yun Shou pondered: "Aside from Yang Dingtian, who will become the 'Flawless True King' in the future, they still have at least two other fourth-realm demon lords!"

One was a mid-level human-grade Yang Bird Demon Lord who was secretly killed in the Million Mountains before the National Day holiday using the Return to Truth Technique. (Chapter 325)

There was also Yang Dingtian's grandfather, one of the people who stood in his way when Yun Shi became a Demon Venerable, but that was two hundred years later, and it's uncertain whether he has now advanced to Demon Venerable. (Chapter 287)

[Humanity has decided to play the long game: after 150 years of covert development, they will launch a holy war against the Demon Race around 3100.]

Even though it's just the preparation stage, every opportunity to allocate skill points has become incredibly precious. At least the twenty people who have been by your side for fifteen years and haven't started allocating points yet won't have another chance in the next hundred years.

[One hundred and fifty years is a third of a lifetime for someone with perfect innate constitution. Considering how long they've followed you, you decide to give them some benefits before parting ways.]

"Everyone, come with me... except you, Brother Shi, you stay away."

"This is a secret technique unique to our ancient people. Because it involves some confidential matters, it's not convenient for outsiders to see it."

[You gather all twenty of these childbearing holy bodies together: "Everyone, now close your eyes, open your mouths, do not resist, do not open your eyes!"]

Everyone: "..."

They were a little scared. Among the remaining 20 people, there were two women: one was a "body capable of bearing a hundred fetuses," and the other was an "ovoviviparous body," both powerful individuals capable of giving birth to babies.

The other 18 men were all incredibly strong and ruthless super-masculine men. Conventional masculine men were like effeminate men on estradiol in their presence, their femininity awakened only upon meeting them.

These powerful men, each an absolute leader and a dominant force, become, in a sense, weak when facing you, the supreme being, and such immense power.

They're afraid you've developed strange intentions, afraid that after expanding your hunting grounds from humans to Eldar, you might now be targeting other men, and that you're plotting something against them.

"Your kindness is wasted! Hurry up!" After learning the truth from a glimpse into the future, you're speechless and impatiently urging them on.

Once you've confirmed everything is in order, you start taking out easily digestible martial arts resources that they can handle at their current level, and quickly stuff them into the mouths of twenty people.

[And they were told not to overthink it, but to quickly consume and refine the resources, transforming them into tangible cultivation.]

These resources should not be converted into "medicinal power" within the body, because medicinal power is still an external substance and will not be included in the individual's condition.

[Trying to bring back the medicinal power would be equivalent to converting the original, intact martial arts resources into medicinal power that has been significantly depleted, which would be a pure loss in terms of the Return to True Nature effect.]

[Then, from among the dozens of predicted sixty-second intervals, you select the one in which they have most thoroughly digested their future return to reality.]

...
