Lu Cang's answer left Xin Qianhuan even more puzzled.
100%?
Is this man really that amazing?
But the way this man said it was so confident that it made people feel they had no choice but to believe him.
This final battle ended in a simple and uneventful manner.
The group began to gather up the scattered divine fire and divine foundations on the ground. As for the divine fire... it had dissipated after they died.
Yacaticto did not want these divine positions and divine foundations. Even the three demigod guardians she killed were all given to the Godslayer Guild.
In this way, the Godslayer Guild gained ten additional divine positions, and including those obtained from killing those superior races, it also possessed eighteen divine foundations.
As for those superior races who were killed, if they only had divine foundations but failed to ignite the divine fire to become demigods...
Even if one is resurrected after being killed, one will lose the divine foundation one possesses.
Therefore, if a superior race is killed, the loss is extremely severe.
Yacaticto: "Are the humans alright?"
"Well, there wasn't much damage."
Lu Cang couldn't say that no one died, but according to the current plan, the losses have been minimized. As for the exact number of deaths, that's not something Lu Cang needs to calculate; the human race will have dedicated personnel to keep track of that.
As for the lost resources, they are insignificant. Humans are now the victors, and the defeated races will pay the price for their actions.
Compensation is essential, and in some cases, particularly those involving extremely heinous races, humans may use them as a deterrent during post-war trials, even wiping them out to warn other races.
After all, this was a war launched with the aim of annihilating the human race. Those who kill should be prepared to be killed themselves, and the same applies to the extermination of a race.
In fact, some races already knew they might not escape punishment, so they continued to resist even though the war was already decided.
They're still putting up a fight, but it's like an ant trying to shake a tree.
Leaving aside the human race, even the neutral races that haven't yet taken sides have begun to take action to eliminate these scourges for the human race, all in order to make up for the lost opportunity to perform because they didn't choose a side.
Even some races that were originally in the opposing alliance have become fence-sitters, turning their guns on the still-resisting "Sealed Heaven Alliance" in order to redeem themselves and hope that the human race will be lenient when it comes to settling scores.
Yacaticto looked at the battlefields in the distance that had not yet been restored. Even with the speed of the Illusionary Realm's recovery, it had not been able to fully restore the ravaged world.
Yacaticto spoke, his voice tinged with a sigh: "Azure, without you here, I don't know what I would do."
Yacaticto is indeed very strong. If Yacaticto didn't need to preside over the ceremony, she alone could completely deal with all the superior races that came to the lower realm...
Yes, she alone is enough.
However, Jacaticto is not entirely invincible or able to do whatever he wants.
Her strength also has limitations and constraints.
The biggest drawback of luck is that it can only fight for itself. All luck is only for itself. If it is only for self-preservation, Yacaticto can exert extraordinary fighting power.
But when it comes to protecting others, it's really hard to say.
Sometimes, even the lucky things that happen are not what Yacaticto wants to see.
Jacaticto herself didn't know exactly what would happen; the only thing she knew was that it might be lucky, a lucky thing for her.
Moreover, given this situation...
If Lu Cang weren't there, she would be faced with a real dilemma: whether to protect the seal or to go and support the human race...
Yacaticto could imagine that without Lu Cang, this situation would have been a dead end for her.
"Oh right, I haven't introduced her yet. She is Xin Qianhuan, the person from the Huanxin Clan that Mansha mentioned came to guide you."
Lu Cang did not get up, but simply gestured to Xin Qianhuan beside him with the drink in his hand.
Upon hearing Lu Cang's introduction, Xin Qianhuan's heart skipped a beat, and in that instant, she felt a deep sense of fear.
She met Yacaticto's gaze and found that his eyes were calm and still, without any murderous intent. Even so, Xin Qianhuan still felt extremely uneasy, as if everything in the world was against her. Even the air seemed to be needles piercing her skin, and the wind seemed to be a knife pressed against her throat.
Just being stared at by her can make you feel suffocated.
Yacaticto looked at Xin Qianhuan with calm eyes, but his heart was not without turmoil.
She thought of the Night Emperor and everything he said before he died. If there were no Illusion Heart Clan, if there were no way to contact the upper realm, would Mansha be on the same side as her?
Is it possible for close friends to become enemies?
But there are no "what ifs," and the past cannot be reversed. To Lu Cang's introduction, Yacaticto simply replied with a light "Yes, I understand."
"You're going to use it, right?"
"Yes, the slave contract has been signed, she will not have the opportunity to rebel."
Yacaticto stopped looking at Xin Qianhuan and instead focused his gaze on the golden pillar of light.
The passage connecting heaven and earth has been opened and is very stable. As long as that golden light is activated, it will lead directly to the upper realm.
Everything we've done is to open this passage, a lifeline for humanity's survival.
After collecting all the valuable items dropped by the guardians, Lu Cang and the others arrived near the passage.
"Boss, is this the passage we're supposed to open up? It looks like a sightseeing elevator."
Those standing at a distance from the pillar of light could see it expanding and becoming thicker at a visible speed.
"Pretty much, it's the same idea."
"Brother, when are we going up? When I see this beam of light, I have a feeling that there are still unfinished tasks, and the tasks in this chapter will become invalid after entering the next chapter."
Bai Lu recalled other RPG games she had played, where a similar prompt would always appear after entering the next key chapter.
"Go up now?" Lu Cang shook his head.
"There's no rush."
"Moreover, heaven and earth are connected and interconnected, so even if you go up there, you can come back."
Lu Cang and the others only glanced around the passage to see the final results of their efforts in this war before turning back immediately, without any intention of going up right away.
The Sky-Breaking Plan was a complete success. The human race dispatched many elite troops to guard the Heaven and Earth Platform to prevent the seal from being broken.
The remaining human army began the cleanup work after the war. In some places, fighting was still going on, and there were always some stubborn races that wanted to fight to the bitter end.
These races that are still resisting have actually seen their final fate, but unfortunately their resistance has become a merit in the eyes of other races.
There was no need for the human army to be mobilized; these alien races killed and devoured each other to death.
[Lottevis]
Shumi gazed from the clock tower in Lotvis at the distant, besieged remnants of the enemy forces.
The terrain destroyed by the White Deer's destructive magic has now been largely restored. The grasslands, trees, and flowers that were burned to the ground by the war have now grown back.
Looking only at the area around Lotvis, one would never guess that a brutal war had taken place here.
The brave man reached the top of the clock tower and sat cross-legged on the wall.
"What brings you here, meow?"
"Uh, I just came because I had nothing to do."
"Eh~"
The fearless warrior scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed: "Okay... actually, there are some things I want to ask you. Xiumi, do you really not hate us humans?"
Xiumi asked with a hint of doubt, "What's there to hate, meow?"
The fearless warrior replied seriously, "After all, we fought you back then."
Shumi sighed: "So, you think I'm going to become an enemy of the human race, meow? Haven't you already seen the consequences of becoming an enemy of the human race, meow?"
The fearless warrior: "Is it just because we humans are strong?"
Xiumi lay on the wall and thought for a while before saying, "Strong is not something that can be summed up by the word 'just,' especially in our orc culture, where strength is justified, meow."
Xiumi said lazily, "Fearless, you may subconsciously think that the concepts of every race are similar to those of your human race, meow."
"In reality, the differences in values between different races in the Illusionary Realm are about the same as the differences between different animals on your planet. Male praying mantises on your planet even eat female praying mantises. You can't possibly use your human race's values to persuade it not to eat a cat, can you?"
"We orcs don't actually have a strong sense of race, just like the stone statues don't like to form guilds."
"Besides, we are cat beastmen, while you are fighting tiger beastmen and wolf beastmen..."
Xiumi scratched his head as he said this: "Actually, to be honest, we don't know why we were classified as beastmen along with those fox beastmen and wolf beastmen. In our eyes, cat beastmen are cat beastmen. They are not the same race as us, meow."
"Is it like the difference between Black, White, and Yellow races among your human race?" Shumi tried to explain using a human-centric analogy.
Brave and Fearless: "Uh, no, among us humans, regardless of skin color, we are all still considered human."
“Oh… well, we are still different. At least in our view, other races of orcs are not like cat orcs of the same race to us.”
"But there are also those overly friendly dog-beastmen who think everyone is a friend, meow, it's so annoying!"
"Shumi complained."
"So we don't really care about the grudges you have against other orcs. Besides, even if the orcs really wanted to take revenge on the humans, they would probably end up like those other races."
Shumi looked towards the distant battlefield, where the [Spiky Fish Clan] was being attacked by an alliance of countless races.
The sword that was once pointed at the human race has now pierced their own bodies. Xiumi was well aware of the strength of the orc race, and establishing an alliance with the human race in the earliest period was the wisest choice for the entire race.

[Hall of Awakening]
Lu Cang returned to the Hall of Awakening.
I have completed my second awakening quest—[Quest Objective: Slay a high-ranking race member possessing full demigod power.]
It was a task tailor-made for what he was supposed to do.
In my previous life, I had the same task. Even though my professions were different in both lives, I was able to make the task exactly the same.
I must say, Jacaticto, your influence is truly remarkable.
Even if Lu Cang wanted to give up, it wouldn't be possible; this awakening mission has locked Lu Cang in.
