Sage of Humanity
Chapter 843 - 841: The Overall Situation is Set

While detoxifying for others, Hua Ci was also cultivating, and furthermore, she could obtain a certain amount of battle merit. Such a good fortune, among all Nine Provinces cultivators, Hua Ci was the only one.

The Nine Provinces cultivators had only arrived at the Unparalleled Mainland for a single day, and the foundation of the Corpse Race in the Divine Heaven Temple was destroyed. Seventy percent of the Corpse Race were killed, the remaining thirty percent fled in disarray, and the Nine Provinces cultivators scattered to hunt them down.

War instantly ignited the entire Unparalleled Mainland. Under the raging flames, the day of Nirvana and rebirth for the Unparalleled Mainland was not far away.

The clamour within the Divine Heaven Temple was no more. Amid the ruins of the battlefield, only Lu Ye and Giant Armor remained.

Lan Ziyi had already left.

She and Lu Ye were not from the same path. Previously, they had cooperated out of necessity, but now that matters had settled, there was no need for her to stay.

Lu Ye and Giant Armor stayed here for two reasons: one was to heal their wounds. Both were heavily injured in the previous great battle with the Golden Corpse King, even with Hua Ci's treatment and their strong physiques, it would not be a matter of one or two days to fully recover.

The second reason was to guard the severed palm.

This object was bizarre and might be the source of the plague of the undead.

To prevent any unwise Nine Provinces cultivators from eyeing it, Lu Ye stayed here. However, he also didn't know how to deal with it.

After pondering, bringing it back to the Nine Provinces and letting the sect master seal it might be the best approach.

This item, only a strong cultivator of the Divine Sea Realm would have the qualification to seal it.

From afar, a familiar aura quickly approached. Lu Ye, who was recuperating, looked up to see a flying spirit artifact resembling a flower basket flying steadily towards them.

Hua Ci leaped down from the basket and collected her flying spirit artifact as she landed.

"How's the injury?" She asked while coming forward to inspect.

After toiling for a day and night, she finally had some free time, yet she did not show any signs of fatigue, appearing spirited and energetic.

After checking Lu Ye, she then examined Giant Armor and nodded slightly, "You young lads are strong and healthy; it's nothing serious anymore, just ensure you rest for a few days."

It was unmistakably the tone of an old lady... This woman was accustomed to acting mischievous, Lu Ye was long used to it.

She continued, "Palace Master Pang asked me to pass a message. There's some issue at Ziwei Dao Palace, she went ahead and once things here are settled, you must go to the Dao Palace; she wants to thank you personally."

"Understood." Lu Ye nodded, he happened to need to go to the Dao Palace too, his Fourth Senior Brother and Feng Yuechan were there, he needed to meet up with them.

Hua Ci smiled wickedly at Lu Ye, "Such a big favor, perhaps she wants to offer herself to you, no wonder your horoscope today shows romance, you're going to be happy soon. Congratulations in advance."

Saying this, she moved to the side.

Lu Ye initially didn't want to pay her any mind, but suddenly realized something amiss and promptly raised his hand, "Wait..."

Before he could finish, he watched in shock as Hua Ci picked up the severed palm from the ground. Hearing Lu Ye's voice, she tilted her head, puzzled, "What?"

"Nothing..." Lu Ye frowned, "Don't you feel anything strange?"

"What strange feeling?" Hua Ci was even more confused.

Lu Ye's eyes fixed on the severed palm in her hand, "This thing should be the source of the plague of the undead in this realm, what do you plan to do with it?"

"Refine it, of course." Hua Ci replied naturally, "I sensed it yesterday when I came over, this item... is a great supplement!"

As she said this, she licked her red lips with her scarlet tongue, exhibiting a sinister yet enticing look.

A chill ran down Lu Ye's spine, his face changing color.

Hua Ci laughed exuberantly, "Don't worry, it's not what you think. This thing contains highly toxic poison, ordinary people might not be able to touch it, but it's very useful for me."

Lu Ye still reminded cautiously, "Be careful, this thing is very strange."

A severed palm can ignite a thousand-year war in this broken Unparalleled Mainland, making it hard to imagine the cultivation of its owner.

"I know." Hua Ci responded and casually stored it in her storage sack.

With Hua Ci taking the severed palm, Lu Ye no longer needed to stay any longer. The battle at the Divine Heaven Temple had settled, there was no trace of the Corpse Race left.

The three immediately set off, leaving the Divine Heaven Temple.

Along the way, they occasionally saw figures of Nine Provinces cultivators flying back and forth or scenes of Corpse Race being chased and killed.

For a thousand years, this broken world had been the domain of the Corpse Race. Even those humans from the three major secret realms dared not to venture outside carelessly, always cautious and fearful. Especially humans in various outposts, many ordinary people had never left their outposts from birth to death, spending their entire lives confined in dark environments.

Even cultivators seeking resources had to bear great risks. It might end in encounters with the Corpse Race and result in no return.

Over the years, the population of humans in the Unparalleled Mainland drastically declined, not even a fraction of what it was a thousand years ago.

Until today, the Corpse Race, which had dominated the realm for a millennium, was fleeing like beaten dogs under the pursuit of Nine Provinces cultivators. Those outpost cultivators who received the news quickly joined the fray. Throughout the domain, the Corpse Race was being chased down everywhere.

The situation looked promising. If this trend continued, the plague of the undead could be completely eradicated soon, and this realm would return to human hands.

The notion of restoring order, clearing the source, and returning the world to its rightful state, which Ziwei Dao Palace longed for, was not far away.

Half a day later, when Lu Ye, Hua Ci, and Giant Armor arrived at the location of the Huntian Holy Temple Secret Realm, they saw the remnants of the great battle outside the secret realm's portal.

Dao Palace cultivators were cleaning up the battlefield and the remains of the Corpse Race.

Upon seeing Lu Ye's figure, they all greeted him.

Among the natives, Dao Palace cultivators were the first to know about the current situation of the Unparalleled Mainland. They also learned about the Nine Provinces, such a mystical domain.

For those Nine Provinces cultivators who assisted in eliminating the plague of the undead in Unparalleled Mainland, Dao Palace cultivators naturally felt admiration and gratitude, especially towards Lu Ye and others. As the senior brother of the Nine Provinces scouting squad, his role in this incident was unparalleled.

"Lu... Senior Brother Lu!"

A timid voice sounded nearby.

Lu Ye turned his head in slight surprise, "You're here too?"

Calling him was Yuan Xiang, the first human cultivator Lu Ye and Ying Wuji contacted upon arriving in this realm.

Previously, when the entire Dao Palace mobilized to distract the Corpse Race for the Nine Provinces squad, the Silver Snake Valley and Mount Sumeru remained inactive, but many outpost cultivators rushed to support.

In that battle, if not for the numerous outpost cultivators risking their lives, Dao Palace alone might not have held out for long.

The outpost Yuan Xiang belonged to sent over a dozen people. After Dao Palace cultivators, led by Palace Master Pang, retreated from the Divine Heaven Temple, most outpost cultivators dispersed, but some followed to the Ziwei Dao Palace to witness the grandeur of the human's three major secret realms.

"Yes." Yuan Xiang nodded heavily, raising her hand to point beside her, "The leader brought us here."

"Young Friend, we meet again." A rough figure, Zui Shan, approached with a smile, looking at Lu Ye. He seemed slightly injured but not seriously.

"Senior Zui Shan." Lu Ye greeted.

Zui Shan quickly supported him, "Young Friend, no need to be so polite. This matter concerning the Unparalleled Mainland is much thanks to you. Without you, we wouldn't know where the Unparalleled human race would end up. To us, you have the grace of rebuilding."

From his words, he evidently knew about Lu Ye and the Nine Provinces cultivators.

"Senior exaggerates. As fellow humans, it's the least we can do."

Zui Shan nodded, "Young Friend should go and rest, your injuries are not minor."

"Thanks, I'll take my leave first."

Watching Lu Ye's departing figure, Yuan Xiang's expression was complex.

Zui Shan seemingly understood something, sighed, and said, "Once the plague is gone, cultivate well. You are from different worlds, don't think too much."

At Yuan Xiang's age, she was at the phase of longing for romance. There weren't many peers in the outpost, and those few lads were not worthy. How could they be a match for her?

Yuan Xiang herself hadn't interacted with many peers.

Seeing someone as outstanding as Lu Ye, it was natural she would be attracted.

Not just Yuan Xiang, even Palace Master Pang probably held similar feelings. Zui Shan remembered clearly that when the news came through the audio transmission stone about Young Friend Lu needing treatment after being injured, Palace Master Pang, who remained calm before the massive Corpse Race, had her face change dramatically.

If not for the dire circumstances, she might have personally gone to check on him.

From Zui Shan's perspective, Lu Ye hailed from the mysterious world of the Nine Provinces, possessing immense talent and power despite his young age. He was like a divine dragon soaring across the Nine Heavens, while Yuan Xiang, with her average aptitude from Unparalleled Mainland, was merely a mudfish in the pond.

There was no chance of achieving anything, and even if his words were cruel, Zui Shan had to say them, cutting off Yuan Xiang's budding thoughts.

"Yes." Yuan Xiang lowered her head, looking a bit despondent.

"I didn't expect you to be so popular." On the flower basket, Hua Ci poked Lu Ye's waist teasingly.

"What now?" Lu Ye responded wearily.

"Hmph!" Hua Ci turned her head away, ignoring him.

Giant Armor observed silently, feeling disheartened. His backup power in the demonic pill was nearly depleted after the battle with the Golden Corpse King. Thankfully, he obtained considerable battle merits, which he could replenish soon.

The Dao Palace was peaceful, with no signs of battle.

When the Dao Palace portal appeared and attracted nearby Corpse Race, some Nine Provinces cultivators had already crossed over. Those Corpse Race members were slaughtered even before entering the Dao Palace.
