The people in the upper seats watched the show.
The Elf King was very satisfied with Xiu Yuan's actions, and he believed that Xiu Yuan was proceeding according to his plan.
The Dragon Spirit Seed also sensed the movement in Dragon Valley. Although it could not go out, it could still observe the outside world through magic.
"So you've finally made your move? Let's send our pawns to test the depths of the divine race."
The Abyss, the Lord of the Sky, also watches over humanity's every move.
The fact that Xiuyuan was indeed proceeding as planned dispelled their concerns.
It's safe!
A word flashed through the minds of the upper-class race.
Everyone adopted a detached, indifferent attitude.
Humans are happy with this situation; without the upper-ranking races facing elimination, the lower-ranking races are no match for humans.
Thus, humanity began to grow rapidly over the course of this century.
Orcs, Tengu, Dark Cats, and so on were all conquered by humans and became their defeated foe.
As the defeated party, their racial heritage was also forcefully taken away by humans.
Xiu Yuan unceremoniously incorporated the resources of each race into the hands of the human race.
The ability of the ocean to embrace all rivers has led to a rapid increase in human capabilities.
They can use the abilities of any race, and they can cultivate the abilities of any race.
If you have it, I'm willing to use it.
The main point is to accept all comers.
On the surface, humanity is working to challenge the divine race, but in secret, they are embarking on a crazy plan to build a distant land.
The transaction lasted 220 years.
Xiu Yuan found the dwarf race.
"Human leader, what brings you here?"
The dwarves felt a sense of unease as they sensed the powerful energy emanating from Xiu Yuan.
"You once used a weapon when you tested the divine race. Do you know of any others?"
Xiu Yuan explained the purpose of his trip.
"You mean Tianyuan?"
"The dwarfs asked."
"Calling it Tianyuan is quite fitting for the weapon's name."
Xiu Yuan savored the memory.
In the last war, the dwarves used a powerful weapon when they probed the enemy.
Even though they were separated by an endless continent, Xiu Yuan's heart yearned for the power of the weapon.
Although that weapon did not kill the divine beings, it greatly repelled several of them.
Moreover, Xiu Yuan had a premonition that that was not the upper limit of Tianyuan.
It's estimated that the dwarves didn't want to reveal Tianyuan's power, since it was just a test.
"The Heavenly Abyss is not something you can covet; give up that idea!"
The dwarves shook their heads.
"Whether it's possible or not isn't up to you. Go and inform your king."
Xiu Yuan didn't want to waste his breath arguing with the ragtag soldiers in front of him.
Seeing that the dwarves in front of him did not move, Xiu Yuan frowned: "What, do you want me to bring the human army to the border before your king will show himself?"
The dwarves were shocked. The human race had changed the most in recent years. Not only had they inexplicably gained great power, but they had also conquered dozens of races superior to them during this period.
Through gradual progress, humanity's strength has become evident to all races.
The current ranking of the human species is 11!
Moreover, this ranking is only temporary, and even these top ten races cannot fathom the limits of humanity.
After all, the power that humanity has shown so far is only on the surface; there must be hidden strengths and methods at play.
"Please...please follow me..."
The dwarf swallowed hard and began to lead the way.
After inviting Xiuyuan into a VIP room, they went to inform their king.
Inside, Xiuyuan leisurely sipped his tea, his gaze lingering on the teacup, lost in thought.
Eighty years to go...
Eighty years is the upper limit of his life, so he will take action a year in advance.
There's no need to worry about Nian Gao not being able to unleash his full power, because in the end he will use a soul sacrifice to activate magic and forcibly restore himself to his peak condition.
He was prepared to sacrifice everything for his goals and the future of humanity; his own soul was merely a small price to pay, insignificant compared to the near extinction of humanity...
Do I feel guilty...?
I recall the question my colleague asked me a hundred years ago.
He was very weak then, and the human race was also struggling to survive.
Humanity has now conquered countless races and is no longer weak; though its reign has been brief, it has been glorious.
All sacrifices are necessary compared to ultimate victory...
Hmm... necessary...
Coming to his senses, Xiu Yuan tasted the metallic sweetness in his mouth. He glanced at it silently, took out his bitten finger, casually used magic to restore it, and began to adjust his state.
Soon, a figure taller than the other dwarfs entered the VIP room.
"Human leader Xiu Yuan, I recognize you."
The dwarf king dismissed the others and sat down opposite Xiu Yuan.
"Oh? I didn't realize I was so famous."
Xiu Yuan said expressionlessly.
"You humans have been making quite a stir these past few years, and we, as those in the higher positions, have been keeping a close eye on it."
After pausing, the Dwarf King glanced at the man before him and continued, "I heard from my men that you've come to claim Tianyuan?"
"That's good, but would you be willing to part with it?"
Xiu Yuan smiled.
The dwarf king looked thoughtful, his fingers tapping incessantly on the table.
Xiu Yuan didn't urge them, but waited quietly for their reply.
“A reason… give me… no… give us dwarves a reason, a reason for us dwarves to hand over the Heavenly Abyss to you humans.”
The dwarf king leaned back, arms wrapped around his shoulders.
"Everyone knows that Tianyuan, a dwarf, once single-handedly defeated several god-like beings. Don't you want to test Tianyuan's limits?"
Xiu Yuan calmly took a sip of tea.
As a race that forges weapons, weapon forging is a natural talent of the dwarves.
The Heavenly Abyss is the strongest forged weapon of the dwarves, but it has always been kept as a reserve. Its only appearance was when it was brought out to test the gods and dragons.
However, the dwarves were afraid of going too far and angering the gods, so Tianyuan's appearance was just a formality, which became a regret.
Xiu Yuan believed that such a weapon could only unleash its full power when fighting against gods.
However, it is impossible for the dwarves to wage war against the gods to test the limits of the Heavenly Abyss.
Since the dwarves dared not, but the humans did, that's why he's here today.
I, Xiuyuan, am determined to have Tianyuan!
The dwarves frowned upon hearing this.
Judging from humanity's current actions, their ambitions are considerable, and they are very likely aiming for the top-ranking divine species.
As Xiu Yuan said, the Tianyuan test has always been a regret for the dwarf race.
The ultimate weapon can only be tested to its limits when it is used in a war against the strongest race, the gods.
But the dwarves dared not challenge the gods.
Therefore, Tianyuan has not been enhanced since it was created.
"So instead of letting Tianyuan gather dust in your dwarf's warehouse, it's better to hand it over to us humans to give it an important role."
Xiu Yuan said.
"Oh? You humans really want to challenge the gods?"
The dwarf king asked doubtfully.
Although the human heart is known to all races, one still needs to truly confirm with the other party before feeling at ease.
"The first seat has been held by the gods for too long, and you dare not challenge it, so it will be up to us humans."
"Although we humans are not as naturally strong as other races, we have an indomitable spirit. Weakness is not terrible; what is terrible is the lack of determination to become stronger. Those who fear the strong will eventually perish."
The dwarf king thought it made sense.
