Compared to the Demon Lord, the Demonic Fiends, who were also part of the Human Race, were even more detestable. Moreover, historically, these Demonic Fiends had mostly caused great losses to the Holy Land, which was why the system of first testing the heart was established.

Noah easily passed the test of the Heart-Reflecting Stone.

As long as one wasn’t a Demonic Fiend and was willing to fight the Demon Lord with all their strength, they could easily pass.

Seeing this, the Red-haired Old Man and the others immediately felt relieved, and the joy on their faces could no longer be hidden.

"Mr. Noah, welcome to the Holy Land. What do you need? Heavenly materials and earthly treasures, cultivation techniques and texts, or sparring with others? Just say the word, and we will do our best to satisfy you," the Red-haired Old Man said impatiently.

He had to be anxious.

Only one month remained until the Hundred Year Agreement.

The survival of the Human Race was imminent; there was no time for delay.

Of course, Noah wouldn’t be polite and immediately started asking questions.

The Red-haired Old Man and the others also answered everything they knew without reservation. It could be said that after passing the Heart-Reflecting Stone test, they immediately dropped their guard against Noah.

Of course, it was also because Noah’s strength was sufficient, and because he made them see hope.

From the Red-haired Old Man’s mouth, Noah learned that the Human Race faction had once produced a 6th-Order expert.

Under the full cultivation efforts of the Holy Land, a large number of experts emerged, each generation stronger than the last, and finally, thirty years ago, they bore fruit.

A Human Race 6th-Order expert was born.

At that time, the Human Race’s confidence swelled unprecedentedly, believing they finally had the strength to kill the Demon Lord. Thus, this 6th-Order expert led all the Five-Order experts to the peak of Heavenly Pillar Mountain.

That battle was incredibly tragic, fought until the sun and moon lost their light and the world changed color.

If the world will hadn’t been strong enough to eliminate a large amount of the residual power, perhaps more than half the world would have been destroyed.

The outcome of that world-shaking battle could be imagined.

The Extraterrestrial Demon Lord wouldn’t attack the Human Race preemptively, but if someone delivered themselves to his doorstep, he wouldn’t refuse either.

All the Five-Order experts were wiped out, not a single one managed to escape back. Only that 6th-Order expert dragged his crippled body back.

Afterwards, this person chose to seal himself, lingering on, silently waiting for the final battle to arrive.

After listening to the Red-haired Old Man’s narration, Noah couldn’t help but be surprised.

He wasn’t surprised that the Human Race had a 6th-Order expert, but rather that the Red-haired Old Man had revealed such a secret, which could be considered their greatest foundation, without any reservations.

In response, the Red-haired Old Man just gave a bitter smile, "Thirty years ago, the Old Ancestor was no match for the Demon Lord. Thirty years later, with only half a crippled body remaining, how could he possibly deal with the Demon Lord? To kill the Demon Lord, we still have to rely on ourselves."

"Then, does the Holy Land still have a 6th-Order expert now?" Noah asked.

"No," the Red-haired Old Man said with a face full of helplessness.

Although the Holy Land’s cultivation methods had improved significantly compared to thirty years ago, giving birth to a 6th-Order expert was truly too difficult. Producing even one was already extremely fortunate.

"Oh."

Noah nodded indifferently.

He didn’t count on the local forces. After all, the instance still had to be cleared by them, the Awakeners.

If another one or two 6th-Order experts appeared, would this instance still be considered extremely difficult? The existence of this Human Race 6th-Order expert, in Noah’s view, served a greater purpose by raising the upper limit of the instance.

The Red-haired Old Man showed a look of admiration. He had thought that Noah would feel despair after learning the strength the Human Race possessed.

Who knew that Noah would be so calm? He felt ashamed of himself compared to this state of mind, which remained unchanged even when Mount Bazuka collapsed before him.

Besides that half crippled 6th Order expert, the Holy Land had also cultivated many 5th Order experts over the past thirty years.

It wasn’t just the Red haired Old Man and these few people.

They were individuals whose potential had already been exhausted, making it impossible for them to advance any further. That was why they came out to maintain the Holy Land’s normal operations.

As for the other 5th Order experts, they were either cultivating with all their might, fighting frantically within the Virtual Realm, or guiding and educating the younger generation of geniuses.

"Virtual Realm?"

Noah revealed a surprised expression. He understood everything else, but what exactly was this virtual Realms?

"Yes, the Virtual Realm." The Red Haired Old Man showed a hint a pride; a large part of the Holy Land’s superior cultivated methods was reflected within this Virtual Realm.

"When the Old Ancestor returned after his defeat, he reflected deeply and realized that aside from insufficient strength, another reason for their failure was the lack of combat experience. Those rapidly geniuses lacked sufficient tempering," the Red Haired Old Man said solemnly.

"However, the Human Race could not afford internal conflict. The Parasite-Based Cultivation method was far too brutal, and the mindset of the powerful individuals it produced was difficult to control."

"After ten years of continuous research and deduction, the Old Ancestor, together with several lords, created the Virtual Realm. It can simulate reality to the greatest extent possible. Dying within id does not result in true death, one merely weak for a few days."

"Not only can we fight one another inside it, but we can also simulate different scenarios. The Old Ancestor even placed the Demon Lord from his memories into the Virtual Realm, allowing us to challenge him. One person can fight him, or even several hundred or thousand people together. Unfortunately, the Demon Lord’s strength is simply too overwhelming. No matter what methods we use, we have never been able to kill him."
