Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed. In such a critical moment, to learn of the hope for humanity was naturally a cause for great delight.
The Fourth Elder said urgently, "Excellent! Send the order to break camp and head towards Kunlun Mountain."
So the entire human race migrated to Kunlun Mountain, where men, women, and children helped each other, all feeling that Kunlun Mountain was where the human race's hope lay.
They had traveled less than a hundred miles when the demon race came after them again. In this moment of crisis, the three elders once again self-destructed to escape the demon race. Nie Feng led the remaining humans to flee in panic toward Kunlun Mountain.
However, the demon race was not easy to resist. After Emperor Jun learned that Xuan Tian had come out of seclusion, he ordered the extermination of the human race. Since he had already offended Xuan Tian, he might as well go all the way.
Nie Feng led his people on a non-stop journey towards Kunlun Mountain, with the demon race in hot pursuit. Di Jun also knew that if the humans were allowed to escape into Kunlun Mountain, they would not be able to be wiped out. He then dispatched twelve demon gods with a million demon soldiers to go there, and he himself went with Taiyi.
The human population was rapidly declining. They were only a hundred miles away from Kunlun Mountain when they were surrounded by the demon race. Nie Feng was also in despair. Looking at the sky full of demon soldiers and then at the tens of thousands of humans left, he sighed to the sky, tears streaming down his face. The human race was about to be wiped out in his hands.
Seeing this scene, everyone knew they would likely not escape today. Their gazes hardened, and they stood silently behind Nie Feng, not uttering a sound. Those who had survived over a decade of fleeing were incredibly resilient.
After a long sigh, Nie Feng led everyone in a bow to the void: "We bow to our Holy Mother Nuwa of the human race. We will never forget the virtue of Nuwa who created our human race."
He then led everyone to bow towards the East Sea: "This bow is to our Holy Father, Xuan Tian Dao Jun. From the moment humans were born, the Holy Father has shared joys and sorrows with us, protecting and educating us. This kindness is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea. Humans will never forget it until death."
Finally, he bowed to heaven and earth: "This bow is to heaven and earth. Heaven above, since the birth of our human race, disasters and calamities have never ceased. Fortunately, we have been protected by the Holy Father. Now we are slaughtered by the Lich and Demon races. If heaven has eyes, then let those two races of Lich and Demon die without a burial place. This hatred will never end and this enmity will never be cleared."
After the three bows were completed, the humans fell silent, all standing against the wind with resolute gazes, waiting for the demons to slaughter them.
There seemed to be no other sound in the world. The demon race was also silent. All living beings in the primordial world were shocked by the words of the human race, shocked by the human race's gratitude for Nuwa's kindness, their attachment to the protection of Xuantian, and their hatred for the Wu and Yao races. Of the billions of humans, only tens of thousands remained after being killed in just over a decade. But these tens of thousands of people were truly united.
At this moment, Di Jun and Tai Yi were also thinking: Did we make a mistake?
Nuwa, far away in the chaos, was in tears, filled with remorse.
The Three Pure Ones and the Western Two were also moved by the will of the human race. Houtu was filled with shame, regretting that she could not stop the Ancestral Witches from slaughtering the human race.
Nine Heavens Angry Attack
Although Di Jun regretted it, he was, after all, the Demon Emperor and remembered his duty. Now that the demon race and the human race had formed an irreconcilable enmity, he could not let the human race go. So he waved his hand and tens of thousands of demon soldiers flew towards the human race.
Just as the human race was about to perish, suddenly the Nine Dragons Star Crown on Nie Feng's head burst out with a strong light, opening up a golden light curtain to block the demon soldiers outside.
"Xuantian is here, who dares to destroy my human race!" Before the words were finished, a whisk flew in from the horizon. It was the Heaven and Earth Whisk, a supreme innate treasure bestowed by the Dao Ancestor. This time, Xuantian was truly enraged and even used the supreme innate treasure that he had not shown when fighting the Styx River.
Xuan Tian was furious, and the consequences were naturally severe. With a sweep of his whisk, hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers vanished. With another wave, countless corpses and blood rained down, all the bodies of those demon soldiers. Xuan Tian had killed them by collecting those tens of thousands of demon soldiers into the Three Thousand Worlds within his Heaven and Earth Whisk. The innate treasure was indeed powerful; with a single strike of Xuan Tian's rage, tens of thousands of demon soldiers had perished.
"Di Jun, I will make you pay for your blood debt!" The humans were about to die, but this unexpected turn of events occurred. When they looked up, they saw a person standing in the air, wearing a silver-white Taoist robe, holding a whisk, standing on a futon, with a gourd hanging at his waist. His handsome face was twisted and his eyes were blood red. It was none other than the human race's holy father, Xuan Tian Dao Jun.
The Heavenly Emperor Di Jun and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi were shocked. How could Xuan Tian have arrived so quickly? The Three Pure Ones were also surprised. They were about to make a move, but seeing Xuan Tian arrive, they stopped. They were also shocked to see that Xuan Tian had annihilated hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers with a single move. In the Nuwa Palace in the Outer Heaven, Nuwa smiled. Xuan Tian had finally made his move. As a saint, she naturally knew that Xuan Tian had arrived. Otherwise, she would not have let Di Jun and the others destroy the human race without the Three Pure Ones' help.
After leaving the island, Xuan Tian was about to unite the human race when the Three Pure Ones concealed his heavenly secrets, preventing him from discerning the human race's location. Enraged, he swept his divine sense across the primordial world and discovered that the demon race was about to massacre the human race. In this crisis, he used his divine sense to control the Nine Dragons Star Crown to hold back the demon soldiers. When he gave the Nine Dragons Star Crown to Xiong Li, he only taught him the incantation to use it; the true spirit within it still belonged to Xuan Tian, so he could control it at any time. He then intervened and killed tens of thousands of demon soldiers, saving the human race.
Overjoyed, everyone wept, thinking that the Holy Father had not abandoned humanity after all. Led by Nie Feng, they knelt before Xuan Tianyue and said, "Holy Father, may you live a long life. We beg you to save us."
Xuan Tian looked at the ragged, wounded humans on the ground. He thought about how his seclusion had almost led to the extinction of humanity. He hated Di Jun for breaking his promise, and he hated himself even more for his negligence that had caused such a disaster for humanity.
Xuan Tian waved his hand, showering down a beam of clear light that healed everyone's injuries. Just as he was about to settle accounts with Di Jun, a little girl suddenly stood up from the ground and cried out, "Holy Father! Holy Father!"
