Human Clan Defender-Chapter 676 - s I am from the Human Clan, but I am definitely not from the Qin People (Combined - s - In search of monthly tickets)

After a moment's thought, Shen Changqing asked another question, "Senior, have you ever heard of the Barbarian God?"

"He was a powerful warrior of the Human Clan in the past, highly regarded by the Primordial Emperor, who said he had the potential to break through to the Divine King Realm. Moreover, although the Barbarian God also followed the path of Destiny Sealing the Gods, he also achieved great accomplishments in his Flesh. The Primordial Emperor once said that if the Barbarian God had not pursued the path of Destiny Sealing the Gods, it was highly possible that he could have carved out his own path. Unfortunately, after that battle, the Barbarian God was slain by a Divine King of the Demon Evil Clan and fell into Qingming. Thinking about it now, he has likely perished!"

Mentioning the Barbarian God also brought some regret to the Mount Tai Prefecture Lord. In that era, although many strong warriors emerged within the Human Clan, those who managed to stand out usually demonstrated their exceptional strength. Unfortunately, with the advent of the Demon Evil Clan, everything turned to ashes. Not to mention the Barbarian God; even the powerful Primordial Emperor could not escape the fate of death.

Afterward, the Mount Tai Prefecture Lord's gaze fell upon Shen Changqing. "Nowadays, the Human Clan is weak, and the Seal Strength won't last much longer. But as long as I am here, the Demon Gods will definitely not have the chance to step into this Heaven and Earth. As for the Demon Saint, I believe he won't pose much threat to you. I hope you can grow to a higher level in the limited time available. If we want to protect the Human Clan, one must be able to match a Divine King. The Divine King of the Demon Evil Clan has fallen, but many Demon Gods likely remain. It will be very difficult to suppress them all without reaching the Divine King Realm."

To match a Divine King!

Shen Changqing remained silent. He was now not even a match for a Divine Spirit, let alone a Divine King. That was a gap of two entire major realms. The gap between the Body Tempering Realm and the Innate Realm is already vast enough to be considered unbridgeable. With his current strength, equivalent to a Half-Step Demon God, the gap to the Divine King Realm would be many times greater than that between the Body Tempering and Innate Realms. If he truly encountered one, even escaping would be a problem.

"How much longer can the Seal Strength last?"

"Ten years at the shortest, twenty at the longest."

At these words, Shen Changqing once more fell into silence. Ten years! Twenty years! This period could already be described as imminent. Considering his current realm and lifespan, ten to twenty years might not pass in the blink of an eye, but it wasn't far off. Even if one were optimistic, how many powerful warriors could the Human Clan develop in twenty years? The subsequent realms are not that easy to break through. Even if all members of the Human Clan practiced martial arts, it's doubtful that in twenty years even a single Immortal Golden Body Realm warrior would be born, let alone warriors capable of matching Divine Spirits, or even Divine Kings.

In his view, the ones most likely to change the situation were himself and the Barbarian God. He himself was a given; as long as he had enough Slaughter Value, continued growth wouldn't be a problem. As for the Barbarian God, according to the Mount Tai Prefecture Lord, he was a renowned warrior even in Ancient Times and possessed extraordinary talent. Given that, perhaps the Barbarian God also had a chance to make a breakthrough.

However, from what the Mount Tai Prefecture Lord said, Shen Changqing was certain of one thing: the Barbarian God was indeed a powerful warrior of the Human Clan and likely bore no ill will towards them. But when dealing with such a strong individual, he would still not fully trust them. After such a long time, the Barbarian God might not be the same warrior willing to battle for the Human Clan. Even if he was, it did not mean he wouldn't secretly scheme against him. Maintaining a cautious attitude would never be a mistake.

As Shen Changqing reflected inwardly, the Mount Tai Prefecture Lord said, "With the exhaustion of nature's spiritual energy and limited resources, staying in this Heaven and Earth is like being a bird in a cage. To aspire to grow to a level where you can match a Divine King within twenty years is undoubtedly a vain hope. Outside this Heaven and Earth, the starry sky is vast. The resources available there cannot be compared to those within this Heaven and Earth. Although leaving this Heaven and Earth to explore the outside might not guarantee success, it does offer a slightly better chance."

With the Ancestral Vein severed, although the Mount Tai Prefecture Lord couldn't personally witness the current state of Heaven and Earth, he could guess how barren it had become. The difficulty of growing stronger in such an environment was immense. That Shen Changqing could reach this level, in the Mount Tai Prefecture Lord's eyes, already demonstrated his exceptional talent. Such talent, even during the Primordial Emperor Era, would have been considered top-notch. If resources were sufficient, there would be a chance for him to become a top-tier warrior someday.

Therefore, the Mount Tai Prefecture Lord actually hoped he would venture out and take his chances. Although venturing out carried risks, not leaving meant absolutely no chance of success. One path offered a slim chance of survival; the other, certain death. Any clear-eyed person would know how to choose.

The Mount Tai Prefecture Lord's intentions were clear to Shen Changqing as well. He gazed at the pitch-black passage for a long while, then withdrew his gaze and shook his head slightly. "Thank you for the reminder, Senior, but I don't plan on venturing outside for the time being."

"You must consider it for yourself, that's all." The Mount Tai Prefecture Lord did not insist. Whether to leave or not was Shen Changqing's own choice. "Outside the Heaven and Earth Passage, there must be forces of the Demon Evil Clan. It is good that you are not going. Otherwise, if you encounter a Demon God, you would likely find it very difficult to escape successfully." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"I understand," Shen Changqing's expression was calm. He had his own considerations. The Mount Tai Prefecture Lord was right. The resources of this Heaven and Earth were indeed running low. To grow stronger, one had to leave this place and venture into a vaster world.
