His face turned almost green.
Had this young chief of the Xuanyang tribe brought the entire tribe with him?
Tens of millions of people, migrating just like that? The dense mass was truly overwhelming.
If he hadn't recognized Suiren Shi, and if he hadn't known that Youchao Shi and Ziyi Shi, the two Human Ancestors, were also summoning three thousand tribal chiefs to the Human Ancestral Land,
The guards at the gate would certainly not have opened it.
"Brother Fang Ming, next time you come, please don't bring so many people."
The guard, with a wry smile, opened the gate.
"Bringing so many people at once, everyone exuding killing intent, tens of millions of people. If I didn't know your purpose, I would truly think you were here to attack the Human Ancestral Land."
Fang Ming chuckled upon hearing this, "Which human would attack the Human Ancestral Land?"
"The Human Ancestral Land is the origin of humanity! Such a sacred place, who would dare to harbor thoughts of attacking it?"
"I am doing this solely to prove the superiority of the Heaven-Shielding Method over the Golden Core Dao, with no other intentions."
Fang Ming had indeed considered the implications of bringing tens of millions of humans, a veritable army, to the Human Ancestral Land.
After all, it could easily be perceived as an attempt to seize power by force.
However, Fang Ming ultimately proceeded.
The pure will remain pure.
If, in later generations, during the eras of Da Shang, Da Xia, or even the reign of the Yellow Emperor,
Someone were to bring a large group, an army of tens of millions, into their imperial city, the world would undoubtedly interpret it as an invasion or internal strife among humans.
But in this current era, humans generally lacked the habit of internal conflict.
Fang Ming's actions, therefore, did not appear overly outrageous to others—after all, the guard complained but ultimately opened the gate for him.
Fang Ming had made his decision after considering the characteristics of the era.
Upon entering the Human Ancestral Land,
Fang Ming first instructed the tribesmen of the Xuanyang tribe to remain within the ancestral land.
He then accompanied Suiren Shi to meet Youchao Shi and Ziyi Shi.
After a period of discussion among the four,
Fang Ming discovered that these two Human Ancestors were indeed as their reputations suggested, possessing exceptionally noble character, far surpassing Xuan by tens of thousands of times.
After discussing the future development direction and general strategy for humanity, the two Human Ancestors jointly agreed that Fang Ming was capable of assuming the position of Human Emperor.
His abilities, character, and cultivation were all sufficient to replace the three of them as the co-ruler of humanity.
Youchao Shi, with excitement, grasped Fang Ming's hand and said, "Since the birth of humanity, Ziyi, Suiren, and I have jointly held the highest elder positions in the human race."
"We ruled together precisely because we could not find anyone whose cultivation, ability, or grasp of humanity's future development surpassed that of the three of us."
"For these past few million years, we have lived in considerable confusion. Despite countless efforts, we have only managed to ensure humanity's survival on the Great Desolate Continent."
"We still rank at the bottom among all races."
"Fortunately, today, humanity has produced a peerless prodigy like you, Fang Ming, a great existence."
"You are capable of leading humanity to escape the fate of being slaughtered by the demon race and reduced to mere sustenance!"
Ziyi Shi also stated, "The Heaven-Shielding Method you created truly possesses infinite mysteries."
"The human body itself holds infinite wonders. Why must we seek the secrets of the human body from the external world? We can find them within ourselves!"
"With such a spirit, it is only fitting that you be placed above the three of us and become the Human Emperor to lead humanity."
Fang Ming nodded slightly. The three Human Ancestors indeed wished for him to become the Human Emperor.
Although humanity had three thousand tribal chiefs and other elders, as long as the three Ancestors agreed, the matter was settled.
The authority of the three Human Ancestors within humanity was still immense.
[Ding! The host has obtained the consent of the three Human Ancestors and successfully assumed the position of Human Emperor.]
[The host has now bonded with the entire human race. Currently, the development of the entire human race, whether in terms of increasing numbers or strengthening individuals, can yield Origin Points.]
Previously, the source of Origin Points was limited to the Xuanyang tribe.
Now, it had expanded to encompass all of humanity.
This was the benefit Fang Ming gained from becoming the Human Emperor.
[Overall Human Race Data:
Human Tribes: Three thousand.
Categorized into Small, Medium, Large, and Super Large tribes (only one, the Xuanyang tribe where the host resides).
Small tribes have an average cultivation of Qi Refining and Spirit Manifestation, with zero to two Profound Immortals guarding them.
Medium tribes are guarded by two or more Profound Immortals, with cultivators at the Profound Immortal late stage.
Large tribes have an average cultivation of Spirit Refining and Void Returning, with at least one Golden Immortal guarding them.
Overall Human Race Strength Evaluation: A powerful race, second only to the Wu and Yao tribes (including the host's quasi-saint level cultivation and the human legions of the Xuanyang tribe).]
The system evaluated the overall strength of humanity as a powerful race.
This placed them just below the Wu and Yao tribes, comparable to the strength of individual races led by the Ten Great Demon Sages.
On the surface, this ranked them within the top ten among the myriad races under the Demon Court.
However, in reality, this strength largely depended on Fang Ming's quasi-emperor level cultivation and the three human legions of the Xuanyang tribe.
The strength of the rest of humanity remained as before, at the bottom tier among the myriad races.
This overall evaluation was not truly representative and contained a significant amount of "water."
Fang Ming secretly vowed that once he spread the Heaven-Shielding Method throughout all of humanity, he would ensure this overall evaluation became a true reflection, or even surpass it, allowing humanity to contend with the Wu and Yao tribes.
[Wonders Worshipped in the Human Ancestral Land: Grand Pure Sage's Daoist Temple, Statue of Empress Nuwa.]
After reporting the overall strength of humanity, the system also reported the wonders worshipped in the Human Ancestral Land.
While Fang Ming was relatively satisfied with the previous system evaluation,
He felt a strong sense of disgust upon hearing about these so-called wonders.
These two "wonders" had brought no benefit to humanity; they were specifically designed to exploit and harvest humanity's destiny, faith, and incense offerings.
Nuwa, being the Holy Mother, Fang Ming had no grounds to object to offering some destiny to her.
However, he planned to order the abolition of the Grand Pure Sage's Daoist Temple once he became the Human Emperor.
Did this old man deserve to harvest destiny and incense from humanity?
If not targeting him, then whom?
Fang Ming thought to himself, "How unlucky. Other people's in-game wonders are built to enhance positive functions for their races."
"These two wonders, on the other hand, are here to impose negative effects on humanity."
[Analyzing next task for the host...]
[Detected the development status of the human race, generating tasks...]
[Task: Rectify Humanity]
[Description: Although the host has definitively become the Human Emperor, due to his sudden ascension, only recognized by the three Ancestors, he is unknown to other tribal chiefs and elders of the Human Ancestral Land.]
[Out of respect for the prestige of the three Ancestors, people dare not openly oppose the host's position as Human Emperor, but in private, some harbor resentment.]
[Numerous tribal chiefs, led by the Mingyuan tribe, deeply revere the Grand Pure Sage and secretly resist the host's actions of abolishing the Golden Core Dao and spreading the Heaven-Shielding Method.]
