In the days that followed, Bai Yan took Zi Xin on a journey through the territories of various races.
Look at the mountains and rivers, and see the trivialities of the world.
Each race has its own unique culture, but in terms of prosperity, it still cannot compare to the modern human race.
The human race, under the rule of Bai Yan's clone, is becoming increasingly powerful.
Most races were conquered by the clones over the years, creating a scene of universal worship.
In this era where divine beings have not yet emerged, the human race can be called the premier race.
And the rankings in the heavens.
The human race has reached the fifth position in the rankings.
The first four are the Divine Spirit, Dragon Spirit, Elf, and Celestial Feather.
Aside from the fact that the first and second groups are protected by barriers, making them inaccessible to humans, the latter group is elusive and difficult for humans to locate, thus preventing humans from launching a racial war against them.
In terms of strength, the Elf and Skywing races are no longer comparable to the human race.
Time flies by like a torrent.
Bai Yan's life revolved almost entirely around two points: cultivation and travel.
Witness the world's prosperity, see the sorrows of all living beings, and experience the vicissitudes of life.
Each experience of tempering his heart in the mortal world brought Bai Yan many insights.
In his original world, he had no time to experience these things; enemies everywhere wouldn't allow him to be so relaxed.
The trials of life refine our true selves; only by staying true to our original aspirations can we achieve inner peace and avoid being troubled by external things.
Know what I need, know what I seek, know what I gain.
At Bai Yan's request, the clone has been making arrangements.
Even Bai Yan, who roams among all races, can sense the undercurrents beneath the ground.
Time quickly passed, and 230 years had passed since the gods were freed from their predicament.
The clone brought good news: it's time to take action against the Dragon Spirit.
Upon receiving the notification, Bai Yan, who was away, immediately took Zi Xin back to the human territory.
"My Lord, preparations are almost complete, and we have thoroughly investigated the opponent's strength over the years."
There are three dragon spirits at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, who are also the three great dragon kings of the current dragon spirits. The rest are dragon spirits at the Foundation Establishment stage.
The number of dragon spirits in the early stage of Foundation Establishment is [number missing], the number in the middle stage is [number missing], the number in the late stage is 1214, and the number in the complete stage is 320.
The clone reported.
"As expected, that battle severely damaged the Dragon Spirit race. Their current population is only a few hundred thousand, not even two hundred thousand, and there isn't a single one at the late Golden Core stage. With such strength, I can wipe them out with a flick of my wrist."
Bai Yan grinned.
Thirteen years later, his cultivation level had advanced further, reaching the Golden Core Perfection stage.
It wasn't that he didn't want to break through, but rather that all the races that could be refined by his clones had been wiped out.
You can't just take action against your own subordinates; they're not ready to contribute yet, and killing the goose that lays the golden eggs is not a good idea.
Chives are naturally harvested after each crop is left to grow.
"My Lord, don't forget where you are, so it's best not to take action. Human strength will eventually run out, and this matter will require more skill."
The clone reminded him.
Under normal circumstances, a Golden Core cultivator at the peak of their cultivation level would indeed be invincible if they were to wear down a Dragon Spirit Seed.
But don't forget that this is a world without spirits.
Once the spiritual energy within the body is depleted, it cannot absorb external spiritual energy to replenish it.
“I never said I would do it myself. Of course, you have to go to the front lines for this.”
Bai Yan patted his clone's shoulder as a matter of course.
"Huh? No, no, no! I won't go to such a dangerous front line. I have other plans for this."
The clone decisively shook its head and refused.
Knowing all too well how shameless the main body was, the clone had prepared a backup plan so that when the main body asked him to go to the front lines to fight, he would have a reason to refuse.
Bai Yan raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Tell me about it."
"That's right. More than ten years ago, I captured those dragon spirits that went out and refined them into dragon puppets. After so many years of planning, the Dragon Valley has been infiltrated by our forces."
The clone smiled smugly.
It was merely a Foundation Establishment stage dragon spirit seed, utterly powerless against a clone possessing the strength of a Golden Core stage cultivator.
As a precaution, the clone did not make a move at the entrance of Dragon Valley, but instead set up a marking array around the area.
Any dragon spirit that leaves Dragon Valley will be marked, and its clones will sneak up and ambush it once it is far away from Dragon Valley.
The main strategy is to be cautious and careful. Even though I am stronger than you, I will still launch a sneak attack and strive to achieve 100% suppression and refinement.
Over the past ten years, he has refined at least eight or ten thousand dragon spirit seeds, if not ten thousand.
"So, my lord, we can simply raid your base; there's no need for conflict."
Each of the two individuals discussed their points separately.
They revealed everything they knew, including the information that puppets were spread all over the three Dragon Kings.
Bai Yan smiled upon hearing this: "As expected of me."
The clone's lips twitched upon hearing this. "This was clearly my doing, okay? What credit do you have? Don't think I don't know what you've been doing all these years."
Traveling and enjoying the scenery is a wonderful way to relax and have fun!
Damn it, they dump all the work on me while they relax and have it easy.
"If I hadn't also found some people to help me, I would have quit sooner or later."
The clone pursed its lips.
"What are you muttering about? I'm leaving this to you. Get the life energy as soon as possible."
Bai Yan glared at him.
"Okay, okay, I'll do it as soon as possible. Besides, I don't think we necessarily have to destroy the Dragon Spirit Seed. Using it to replenish the human race's foundation is also a good idea."
The clone pondered.
Those who have been in a position of power for a long time will inevitably start to consider the interests of the entire race.
Bai Yan pondered for a moment upon hearing this and nodded: "The human race has changed a lot over the years, at least it's not as bad as it was when we first came here."
"That was a group of people with saintly hearts; I arrested them and sent them to labor reform."
If they like kind-hearted people, I'll assign them heavy and tiring work. If they like helping others, I'll give them other people's work to do as well.
“That’s right. These people have been living comfortably for too long and have forgotten how they got to where they are today. Use whatever means you want, and killing a few occasionally is fine. For these guys, swift and decisive measures are far more effective than gradual approaches.”
"Making an example of someone to scare others is the most effective way to deter them."
Bai Yan made a speech, like a living Yama.
"Indeed, I am well aware of this matter. It has been almost completely resolved over the years. The people in power are all people I personally trained, so there will be no problems."
Here's what I think about the Dragon Spirit race. Magic seems to be the dominant force in this world.
We can capture the dragon spirit and raise it in a small world, then give its offspring a contract magic. In this way, if the dragon spirit wants to appear in reality, it must agree to the contract with the human race in order to descend.
Given enough time, the arrogance of the dragon spirit will be worn away, and it will gradually become a loyal pet of the human race.
At that time, the Dragon Spirit race will no longer exist; only human-contracted beasts will remain.
The cruelty of the clone.
To exterminate a race, one does not necessarily have to slaughter them all. Only by eradicating their spirit and taming their will can one defeat them without bloodshed.
"Good idea, let's do it this way. If you need any help, you can ask me for it."
Bai Yan thought it was good.
"Really?"
The clone was suspicious; he preferred to believe the sky had fallen rather than that the original had changed its nature.
"Of course it's true. I will refine some pills or something to help you."
Bai Yan nodded.
"..."
The clone remained silent, just as always.
