Reason told Li Zhi: You should leave, you should let this body of yours do something more meaningful. This vast Jinxiu landscape cannot be defended at all!

But emotions told him: If you leave, then the billion human clans in this vast Jinxiu landscape will all perish here. None of them will be spared! They are all your people, your elders and family, they all see you as a god. Li Zhi, can you really abandon them? Can you really?

You cannot!

And you shouldn't!

Li Zhi really couldn't do it; he didn't want to one day regret his decision. Even if he left and truly helped the returning Pangu in the future, protecting countless immeasurable lives, those lives are not his people!

So, he raised his head, looked at the old Taoist, and said softly: "Master, even if the great Pangu returns, he shouldn't lack a warrior like me. Or even if he does need me… but I truly cannot abandon this place and leave! I was born here, grew up here, rose here… if someday I must die, I also wish… to die here."

As Li Zhi's master, the old Taoist understood all too well what kind of person Li Zhi was. So, upon hearing this, he sighed deeply: "So be it, so be it, foolish child, foolish child! Since you wish to stay, then stay! We've been master and disciple for so many years; if we must die… let's die together. It's no big deal to have our heads chopped off for a bounty. Close your eyes, and once you're dead, what else is there to care about?"

"Report…"

At this moment, a report came from outside again.

Li Zhi said in a composed manner: "Enter."

A practitioner at the peak of the Great Saint Realm entered. After bowing to Li Zhi, he said with a face full of anguish: "My Lord, Jinxiu Village is now under massacre. A group of powerful ancestral realm Heavenly People practitioners have sealed that city. They are driving the people into lines... to be beheaded!"

"What?" Li Zhi immediately leapt up, and in the next moment, his figure had vanished completely.

Nothing more needs to be said, after all, it's time to die in battle!

Let it begin now!

Those Heavenly People clan practitioners, like beasts, killing one is enough, killing two… is a profit!

In an instant, Li Zhi's figure disappeared, leaving that Great Saint Realm practitioner standing there, somewhat dazed. At this moment, the old Taoist said: "Go convey the order, gather all the warriors of the Jinxiu landscape. This is a war, a war that concerns whether we in the Jinxiu landscape can survive!"

Initially, this Great Saint Realm practitioner was somewhat stunned, then his eyes suddenly shone brightly. It was as if he understood. Then, he gave a deep bow to the old Taoist: "As you command!"

Soon, the horns of war began to sound across the entire land of the Jinxiu landscape.

It was a specially made horn, and once sounded, it could carry a range of hundreds of billions of li, audible to any creature with sufficient cultivation level.

All the human clan practitioners in the Jinxiu landscape, upon hearing this horn, were almost instinctively stunned for a moment, then began to silently prepare. Some even… were too lazy to arrange for their own affairs.

Because this horn had never been sounded in the Jinxiu landscape before!

It has a name, called… the Horn of Death!

In the past, when Li Zhi crafted this horn, he said unless someday the Jinxiu landscape is to be destroyed, unless the end is near, this horn would never be sounded.

Now, the horn has been sounded, indicating that the entire Jinxiu landscape has reached its most critical moment.

At such a time, either… hide at home like a coward, crying with your wife and children, waiting for fate's decision… no, should be waiting for death's arrival! The horn is sounded, fate… will no longer give you a choice!

Or, stand like a hero, be a true warrior! Pick up a weapon, even if it's a blunt blade. Step onto the battlefield, fight the enemy to the death. Even if you are completely slaughtered without a chance to resist, still, die like a man!

Without shaming the human clan!

Everyone knows that only a war between races could compel Li Zhi's king to sound this horn. Only an army of Heavenly People attacking could lead to such a circumstance.

Thus, at such a time, all practitioners in the Jinxiu land, regardless of their cultivation strength. Even if it's only Foundation Establishment or Primordial Infant level. Even if they couldn't hear the horn. Upon knowing what happened, they silently picked up their weapons and marched towards the place where Li Zhi king was.

If they couldn't fly for long, then walk!

Die, but die like a man, with dignity!

Let those Heavenly People clan practitioners know that humans are not lower beings! Not filthy! Not foul! Not those who only know scheming, never wanting to give for others!

We humans are brave, hardworking, kind, honest, wise, passionate, and sentimental!

Our human clan has never been inferior to any race in this world!

Because in any race, it's the same, there are good and bad ones.

Why do we humans become synonymous with evil in your eyes?

Why?

Perhaps, this vast Jinxiu landscape is just a microcosm of countless expansive territories on Immeasurable Mountain. Maybe, things like this are happening in countless places, simultaneously!

This is a war of the weak against the dominator!

This is a war of no return!

But no one shrinks back!

No one is frightened!

It's quite remarkable to say that usually those with the smallest courage, small practitioners who dared not even leave the house when bullied in the village, are now picking up a broken machete, walking to where Li Zhi king resides.

Even across countless mountains and rivers, they walk fearlessly, without an ounce of terror!

Those bullies and ruffians who had bullied honest people before are now all in tears, apologizing to those people they had bullied. Then hugging each other, and… stepping onto the battlefield together.

The Demon Lord, leading a legion of over two thousand, stepped onto the land of the vast Jinxiu landscape, witnessing this awe-inspiring scene.

Then, they almost understood in the shortest time what had happened here!

They had tracked those slaughterers all the way, coming here, only to hear such a shocking scene, filled with outrage that made their hearts almost explode like everything else they had witnessed along the way!

But they also saw such a blood-boiling scene!

This kind of scene, they had never seen in other places before!

"The human clan shall not perish." The monkey, carrying a large iron rod, stood with the Demon Lord, witnessing such a scene, was a significant shock for the monkey. Unable to help the surge of feelings, it uttered this sentence.

Behind the Demon Lord, among the human ancestral realm cultivators, someone heard the monkey's words and echoed, "The Human Clan is immortal!"

This phrase instantly spread throughout the entire legion led by the Demon Lord.

In the end, everyone couldn't help but shed tears, raising their heads to the sky with an angry roar, "The Human Clan is immortal!"

"The Human Clan is immortal!"

"The Human Clan is immortal!"

Over two thousand terrifying powerhouse cultivators of the ancestral realm roared in unison. What kind of effect does this have?

The firmament above nearly shattered instantly from the roar of this group!

Then it collapsed with a bang.

The people of this majestic land at Jinxiu Village witnessed first-hand what it's like when the sky falls!

The scene was absolutely terrifying!

Yet at this moment, no one was afraid!

They didn't know who shouted out this phrase that shattered the sky. But they... the hundreds of billions of the Human Clan on this vast territory, were all in tears, releasing roars that seemed to arise from their very souls.

"The Human Clan is immortal!"

"The Human Clan is immortal!"

"The Human Clan is immortal!"

"The Human Clan is immortal!"

Their voices may not have shattered the sky, but their will forced the collapsing firmament back into place!

This is an invincible will!

This is an immortal belief!

In this world, no living being can resist such a belief.

Only humans... this race, can give birth to such an eternal belief.

In that grand city of Jinxiu.

There were at least tens of millions of people.

At this moment, driven by a formidable force, they involuntarily... moved towards the largest square in the city.

Most of them had blank expressions, some with twisted faces filled with hatred, others with expressions of resentment and fear.

This is the condition of all beings.

Because they were, with full awareness, facing death.

It was too cruel, too brutal.

Just then, a shout of "The Human Clan is immortal!" suddenly shattered the firmament above!

It terrified the hunters of the Heavenly People Clan in the grand city of Jinxiu.

Their faces turned extremely ugly!

Others might not know what kind of existence lay behind this voice, but they knew all too well!

Ancestral realm!

A group from the ancestral realm!

Damned it... in such a remote corner of the Immeasurable Heaven as this majestic land... how could there be a group from the ancestral realm?

Is this seeing ghosts?

Li Zhi, who had already charged above the grand city of Jinxiu, also heard the roar that had shattered the firmament.

His tears fell instantly. It had been many years since he shed a tear since the passing of his parents. But at this moment, he couldn't hold back! Uncontrollably.

Then, he looked up at the sky, releasing the aura of his entire ancestral spirit to the fullest!

Covering this Heaven and Earth, then using human language, with a human voice, he let out a roar, "The Human Clan... is immortal!"

Those people in the grand city of Jinxiu, who had been lethargically awaiting death, seemed to have their souls returned at that moment. Their trembling lips finally, albeit shakily... roared out, "The Human Clan... is immortal!"

Across the land of Jinxiu, this roar from the very soul echoed everywhere.

"The Human Clan is immortal!"

At this moment, within the territory of Jinxiu, there was not only the hunting squad of the Heavenly People in this grand city. Other places had them too. But at this moment, they all turned completely pale.

Especially in the grand city of Jinxiu, with at least a dozen teams... hunters composed of hundreds of Heavenly People cultivators. Among them, there were at least eighty or ninety cultivators of the ancestral realm.

But at this moment, almost all of them made the same movement.

Ascending, breaking through the void... they wanted to flee!
