"Head Spirit, you can't hold the rear! Let us hold the rear and hold off these ant demons!"
"Head Spirit, let us hold off these ant demons! You lead your people and retreat!"
Despite Wang Han's unequivocal words, the surrounding humans still refused to accept the order and voiced their opposition. At this moment, they were finally afraid.
Although they deeply believed in and worshipped the Head Spirit, seeing its current exhausted state and the seemingly endless swarm of ant demons charging into the canyon, coupled with Wang Han's appointment of a new Head Spirit, a bad premonition lingered in their minds. If Wang Han died, who would lead humanity in the future? They would rather all of them die than see Wang Han die.
"I've made my decision, Ji. You will lead the people to retreat now." Upon hearing this, Wang Han said angrily. After speaking, Wang Han leaped over the wooden wall, continuously casting Dao seals with his hands and loudly chanting Dao incantations.
"Heaven and earth are boundless, and the universe borrows its power to command thunder and lightning, creating a barrier of lightning."
The Dao seal was completed, and the Dao incantation was finished. Terrifying yellow lightning descended from the sky, forming a blue-yellow barrier a thousand meters wide, connecting heaven and earth, shimmering with electric light, which blocked Wang Han and the wooden wall behind him.
"Head spirit!" People cried out in anguish as they saw Wang Han and the ant demon separated by the lightning barrier, tears streaming down their faces.
Seeing the cries of pain from the humans, Wang Han felt a sense of relief. Ignoring the ant demon swarm that was getting closer and closer behind him, he shouted, "Listen up, everyone! From today onwards, the scribe of Youwei Tribe will be the new leader of the human race. In the future, the human race must unite, support each other, and learn from each other. Only in this way can the human race survive better in this world. Now, everyone, follow the scribe and retreat. Retreat now!"
After saying that, Wang Han summoned the Bloodthirsty Blade (in suppressed state) and turned to fly towards the oncoming ant horde. To the people behind him, Wang Han's resolute, decisive, and unwavering actions seemed tragically heroic.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Han flew into the ant demon swarm. Instantly, shattered ant demon corpses flew up one after another, and huge blades of energy, tens or hundreds of meters long, splashed and shot out in all directions within the ant demon tide, carving out huge marks. Not a single ant demon could break through Wang Han's blade energy from the ground. The entire canyon was filled with the marks left by the blade energy, like straight cracks, yet densely packed.
In the sky, struck by the lightning, the flying ant monsters crashed into it and were ultimately reduced to clumps of charred ash. However, with their relentless attacks, the lightning barrier would eventually be destroyed.
"Heaven and Earth, the myriad laws of nature, the anti-air domain!" A loud shout rang out from the ant horde, and an invisible barrier rapidly expanded, instantly covering half the canyon. Swallowed by the expanding barrier, the flying ant demons suddenly felt as if they had become several times heavier, falling from the sky like dumplings being dropped into a pot, crashing heavily to the ground, creating craters, or slamming into ordinary ant demons, burying them underground.

"Retreat! Everyone!" Watching Wang Han disappear into the ant horde, Ji wiped away his tears and turned to shout the order to the humans on and behind the wooden wall. "This is Old Man Ling's order. Everyone retreat to the Initial Tribe."
"No, I won't leave! I want to stay with Head Spirit and cover the rear!" Upon hearing Ji's order, almost all the humans immediately objected.
“I want to stay too, but this is the leader’s order. Are you going to disobey it? The leader has never made a mistake. Since the leader has made this choice, it must be correct. Everyone retreat. No one is allowed to stay. The leader will definitely be alright. We must trust the leader. If we stay here, we will only distract the leader. Perhaps it is because we are here that the leader cannot retreat. Once we retreat, the leader will definitely find a way to retreat.” Looking at the tribesmen who were almost unwilling to leave, Ji shouted loudly. Perhaps he already knew Wang Han’s intentions.
Silence fell over the crowd. The man's words silenced everyone. And then, more and more people began to retreat, until everyone had left.
Yes! Their spirit leader has never been wrong; if the spirit leader has given such an order, it must be correct. The spirit leader is the highest sage of humanity, the supreme leader leading humanity, and the strongest among humanity. Perhaps it is true, as the records say, that the spirit leader has not retreated because they are here. After they leave, the spirit leader will surely leave safely.

In the canyon, Wang Han had already fought his way in for ten miles.
"Finally gone!" Surrounded by thousands of ant demons and fighting valiantly, Wang Han finally breathed a sigh of relief after sensing that the human race had completely retreated. When he looked at the ant demons around him again, his gaze had turned fierce. The Bloodthirsty Blade in his hand, which had been suppressed, finally revealed a strong bloody aura.
"Fierce Dragon, Sky-Splitting!" In the next instant, Wang Han's speed suddenly increased a hundredfold, and the sword energy unleashed from the Bloodthirsty Blade carried a bloody aura. The sword energy formed the shape of a blood-red dragon head, enveloping Wang Han as he sped through the canyon. Wherever he passed, thousands of ant demons disintegrated, leaving corpses scattered everywhere; not a single one survived.
————————————————
At the entrance to the canyon, countless ant demon corpses were piled up like a mountain of corpses, and even the canyon entrance was blocked by ant demon corpses piled up forty or fifty meters high.
"Senior, the ant demons controlled by that queen ant are almost exhausted." On the mountain peak at the entrance of the canyon, Tongtian looked at the nearly depleted traitorous ant demons (let's call them that for now) and spoke to Wang Han. He wanted to see what method Wang Han would use to continue eliminating these ant demons. Controlling another queen ant to continue killing each other was no longer an option, as doing so repeatedly would easily arouse suspicion from other saints.
"I don't need to do anything more. Ninety-nine percent of them will be dead soon, and no one will notice that we've done anything." Hearing this, Wang Han smiled confidently.
Upon hearing Wang Han's words, Tongtian became even more curious and immediately began to carefully observe the ant demons below, especially those that were fighting.
"It's a plague!" After careful observation, Tongtian quickly discovered the reason. No wonder Wang Han was so confident. With his saintly strength and meticulous observation of cells, he could easily see that some terrible plague had already spread among these ant demons. This plague was extremely terrifying, and it had already spread throughout the entire ant demon sea without anyone noticing. Even the ant queens were not spared, and no ant demons had discovered that the plague had infected them. It was likely that once the plague broke out, more than 99% of these ant demons and queens would die soon. The ant demons that were lucky enough to survive would only become practice targets for humans.
Moreover, Wang Han used the plague to eliminate the ant demons, and the other saints wouldn't discover it for a while. After all, who would bother to observe the cells of a living organism? By the time the plague was discovered, the source would probably be nowhere to be found.
