"I never imagined that our human race would have to rely on Lu Tao to continue to survive."
The Emperor's face showed some bitterness, then he continued to inquire telepathically, "Luo Xian, what about your relationship with Lu Tao..."
Although he was the Human Emperor and knew everything about the other human race members outside, he had no way to control them, let alone a half-step God Emperor like Sect Master Luo.
Therefore, he was not very clear about the matter between Sect Master Luo and Lu Tao.
Sect Master Luo sighed, "I suppose I've done Lu Tao a small favor."
While sighing, Sect Master Luo also felt somewhat fortunate.
She was extremely fortunate to have realized that the prodigy in the Chaos Realm was human, not a demon. Otherwise, if he had known her human identity, some unforeseen events might have occurred.
This explains her excited yet cautious demeanor when she initially guessed that the visitor was most likely Lu Tao.
She was excited because Lu Tao was human, but cautious because she was afraid that Lu Tao would discover her human identity and that the humans' attitude towards his secret realm would affect their cooperation.
The Emperor seemed to have already guessed something, and asked hesitantly, "Those cultivation techniques?"
"Yes, it was what you all thought was a meaningless act by me."
As Master Luo replied, the wrinkles on his face bloomed like flowers, as if the years of being misunderstood had finally been relieved, and he felt a surge of joy in his heart.
The plight of humanity in the wastelands and the lower realms is something that humanity cannot change by its own power alone.
Even though the ancestors of humankind devised a strategy of free-range grazing, after so many years, they were unable to improve the current situation of humankind.
thus.
Sect Master Luo devised a plan to utilize the power of prodigies who could comprehend the Chaos Domain or the Chaos Rules.
To this end, she secretly collected three thousand cultivation techniques through the Luo Xian Sect.
The Human Emperor, Sect Master Nie, and others were aware of this plan.
They were not optimistic about this, believing it was a complete waste of time and energy. They thought it would be more worthwhile to learn more rules than to spend time and energy on this illusory monster.
Perhaps, with the rules perfected, they could secretly kill even more powerful demons who harbor great malice towards the human race.
But Master Luo persisted.
She believed that since the human race was feared and suppressed by demons because of their comprehension, the only way for the human race to turn the tide was through comprehension.
She needs to wait for someone.
A prodigy with extraordinary comprehension.
With the help of the numerous cultivation techniques she had collected beforehand, she would surely grow rapidly and become the strongest in the desolate region.
Such a strong person.
Although she wasn't very confident that she could comprehend the rules of chaos within a million years, comprehending the realm of chaos shouldn't be too difficult.
In this way, there is a great chance that humanity can be led out of the wasteland and escape this cage.
If one can comprehend the rules of chaos, then the chances of success will naturally be even greater.
Moreover...
Even if this prodigy isn't human, having her cultivation techniques is still a favor. Whether it's leading humans out of the wasteland or making them her subordinate race, it's infinitely better than staying in the wasteland.
However, if it is a monster of a race that harbors great malice towards humanity, then humanity can only choose to keep a low profile.
We will continue the plan once they leave the wasteland.
What troubled her was that, although the humans she met were indeed human, they were also human who had some friction with the humans of the desolate region.
fortunately.
The friction did not escalate.
What surprised or delighted her even more was that Lu Tao comprehended the Chaos Domain in just about a year.
This speed far exceeded her expectations.
Therefore, she didn't even ask Lu Tao to enter the boundary wall to try to travel freely within it and thus escape the desolate region. She only hoped that Lu Tao could cultivate to the peak of the God King realm as soon as possible within this cage of few strong individuals in the desolate region.
Even if they leave the desolate region in the future and go to the God Realm, which has God Emperors, God Kings, or even Saint Realm experts, they will still have enough power to protect themselves.
"Luo Xian, you are right!"
The Human Emperor's tone was desolate, but then it became lighter as he exclaimed, "The human race is fortunate to have you, and fortunate to have Lu Tao!"
Offending Lu Tao was certainly something he didn't want to do.
But the emergence of such a secret realm inherently signifies disaster.
Just like when the demon and monster realms attacked the Great Gan Dynasty, you don't have the strength to defend the secret realm. All you can do is struggle in vain, so you might as well just give up.
The Great Gan Dynasty was able to protect the secret realm because of Lu Tao, but the human race did not have the strength to protect the secret realm from the various races in the desolate region.
How large is the wasteland?
Hundreds of states, countless races.
However, many of these races were wiped out of the desolate region by powerful beings from other races because of so-called treasures or opportunities.
The reason why the human race has survived to this day, surrounded by demons, is because of its caution and low profile.
Therefore, after learning about the secret realm, all they could do was give up.
If you're lucky, you might be able to descend to the mortal realm to compete for one or two spots to enter the secret realm and get a share of the spoils from the various races; if you're unlucky, you'll naturally get nothing.
As for warnings and reminders to Lu Tao...
They dare not do it, nor can they do it.
Putting yourself in their shoes, whoever possesses such a secret realm would likely never be willing to give it up. Therefore, after receiving the warning, Lu Tao would naturally flee.
How could the human race dare to do something that would offend all races?
That's not just one or two races, but one or two hundred.
The extinction of the human race would only take a moment.
therefore.
When the other races sent their powerful warriors down to the lower realm, the human race could only helplessly treat the secret realm in Lu Tao's hands as an unclaimed possession, watching the other races fight over it. They even had to 'go along with the tide' and compete for the quota in the lower realm.
As a half-step God Emperor, leading the top races of the desolate region, yet forced to make such a choice, one can imagine how frustrated the Human Emperor must have felt.
But he had no other choice.
To his shock and anger, the human race ultimately could not escape its fate and was attacked by other races under the pretext that Lu Tao was human, almost leading to its extermination.
"If only I had known... Sigh!"
Thinking this way, the Emperor still couldn't continue thinking.
"I should have known this sooner!"
Sect Master Luo knew what the Human Emperor was thinking, but at that moment she suddenly remembered something and said with a slightly strange expression, "Actually, thinking about it carefully, your choice back then was correct."
"ah?"
The Emperor was surprised upon hearing this.
He looked at Sect Master Luo with some surprise, quite puzzled as to why Sect Master Luo would agree with his initial choice when the human race was almost wiped out.
Sect Master Luo explained, "Upon closer reflection, if you had actually chosen to warn Lu Tao back then, you would have put the human race in the desolate region in danger. In order to prevent the human race from being wiped out, you would have had to take them into your small world to hide them."
"That's right, only in this way can we escape the extermination of all races. Moreover, considering the old turtle's divination abilities, even hiding in the small world is not very safe. We can only take the small world and hide it in some special secret realm, dangerous place, or even within the boundary wall... No, wait!"
The Human Emperor was nodding, but suddenly, he realized something and exclaimed in surprise, "A divine artifact of the Ruler!"
"If our human race hides too deeply, it might allow other races to forge the Rule God-King artifacts ahead of time. In that case, it would have a significant impact on Lu Tao..."
At this point, the Human Emperor did not continue speaking, but stared straight at Sect Master Luo, hoping to get the answer he wanted to hear from Sect Master Luo.
Sect Master Luo nodded emphatically and said, "That's right! At that time, whether it was to find the human race or to find Lu Tao who was hiding in the lower realm with the secret realm, the alliance of all races would probably have refined the rule god-king artifact in advance."
"No matter how safe Lu Tao is in the lower realm, he will inevitably be found immediately after he ascends to the God Realm. Then he... will not have time to comprehend the Chaos Domain, nor will he have time to refine a small world containing three thousand Dao principles."
"At that time, Lu Tao was only at the Heavenly God Realm. No matter how strong he was, how could he be stronger than the other races?"
"If he is found, he will surely perish!"
"In that case, not only will the human race in the desolate region be wiped out, but Lu Tao will also be unable to escape, so..."
Sect Master Luo suddenly smiled and said, "Thinking about it carefully, by a twist of fate, your choice back then was the right one!"
"How could this be!"
Upon receiving such a definite answer, even with his composure and cultivation, the Emperor couldn't help but blush slightly.
I was also somewhat dazed.
Judging from Lu Tao's actions when he first ascended, even if Lu Tao's comprehension was extraordinary, his strength at that time was not very strong. At least he could not surpass the late stage of God King, let alone the perfect one.
He was captured, and death awaited him.
Thinking of this, the Human Emperor hurriedly said to Sect Master Luo, "Luo Xian, you must subtly inform Lu Tao about this matter. Don't seek his forgiveness, but at least make him not harbor any resentment towards the human race."
"That's natural!"
Master Luo nodded.
Even though she's old and shrewd, it was only recently that she figured this out.
Otherwise, she would have informed Lu Tao beforehand, and things wouldn't have gotten so tense between Lu Tao and the Human Emperor and the human race.
But then again...
Although something may be right by chance, it doesn't mean it's right in essence.
The fact remains that hundreds of billions of humans were abandoned.
"Sigh, I never expected it to turn out like this!"
The Human Emperor sighed, then couldn't help but think of the calamity that had befallen humanity. His expression immediately darkened, and he comforted himself, saying, "As long as Lu Tao is alright, that's all that matters!"
"Yes! As long as Lu Tao is alive, that's all that matters!"
Sect Master Luo smiled knowingly.
She was naturally heartbroken by the calamity that befell humanity, but as long as Lu Tao was still alive, humanity had hope.
Just then, the teleportation ended.
Sect Master Luo extended his hand and said, "Human Emperor, please!"
"Sect Master Luo, please!"
After all, it was Sect Master Luo's territory, and Sect Master Luo's identity had not been revealed, so he was quite polite to Sect Master Luo.
That's how it is.
The Emperor moved into Luoxian Gate.
At the same time, the Nether Tiger Clan, the Azure Ape Clan, the Xuanming Sect, the Crimson Cloud Sect, and others also arrived at the five major merchant guilds one after another. After discussions, they all settled down at the Luoxian Gate.
This action naturally did not escape the notice of the alliance of races, but they had no time to care about such things at the moment.
