This fundamentally altered the Chaos World, how could the Heavenly Dao possibly permit Emperor Qin to succeed? Emperor Qin met such an end, which is not surprising at all, because he touched the true bottom line of the Heavenly Dao.
If the Heavenly Dao had allowed him to live, that would have been surprising.
"Emperor Qin, why did you have to do this?"
Jiang Chen did not understand, he felt that with Emperor Qin’s wisdom, he should not have been so impulsive. To imprint the concept of mankind triumphing over Heaven on the Original Source of Heaven and Earth, and attempt to enforce it throughout the whole Chaos World, was obviously impossible.
This was to make an enemy of the entire Chaos World, something even the Taoist Ancestors themselves could not achieve.
"Time waits for no one!"
"The Human Race might appear strong, but in reality, they are merely hollow on the inside."
"Though named the protagonists of Heaven and Earth, if we set aside the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the true strength of our Human Race isn’t even comparable to a single tribe of the Witch Clan!"
"It is only because the Primordial three tribes were in decline, and the Witch and demon two clans were both seriously hurt, that our Human Race seemed unprecedentedly strong."
"In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king!"
"Moreover, the Human Race does not lack enemies either; openly, a myriad of clans eye the Human Race, but in secret, the great transcendents of the Mystic Sect have been plotting against the Human Race all along, from the Ancient Era even to this day, with the Two Saints to the west also coveting us behind the scenes."
"Kunpeng believes he has concealed himself well, distancing himself from the Demon Clan to the extent of even taking on the name of a traitor. But how could he possibly deceive my eyes?"
"Does he think hiding in the North Sea, secretly preserving the vital forces of the Demon Clan, is something I truly am unaware of?"
"And the Demonic Way, they have also been continuously infiltrating the Human Race, wanting to use the Human Race to instigate another Heavenly Earth Calamity. Do they think their actions can deceive anyone?"
Recalling why he had made such a decision back then, Emperor Qin could not help but let out a long sigh.
"A tall tree catches much wind!"
"It’s not that I wished to act this way, but that I had no other choice, the enemies of the Human Race were too numerous and too powerful; these were just the ones I could see, let alone those I couldn’t."
"Even though I am well aware that these forces are plotting against the Human Race, and have even dispatched experts to infiltrate us and wait for the right moment, I can’t do anything to them, nor dare to strike at them."
"To touch one part would impact the whole, no matter which side’s forces I acted against, it would provoke a strong backlash from the other forces, thereby leading to even greater chaos."
"In the end, with no other option, I could only act in the name of justice, forcibly involving these hidden elements within the Human Race, to join me in imprinting the concept of mankind triumphing over Heaven onto the Original Source of Heaven and Earth."
"If this move were successful, then all the schemes of these forces, in the face of the grand trend of Heaven and Earth, would naturally all become laughable, wholly unable to affect the Human Race, and might even suffer backlash from Heaven and Earth."
"If this move failed, then it would not matter much, for these people would perish along with me."
"And with their downfall, though it might not completely destroy the plans of various forces within the Human Race, it would also significantly damage them, rendering them unable to take any action against the Human Race for a short period."
"At the same time, this would also give the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors an opportunity to deal with them; although they would not be able to eliminate them completely right away, they could still continuously weaken their influence on the Human Race."
"In short, under the relentless pressure of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, it would eventually create an opportunity to completely eradicate them in the future."
This was the real truth of the matter, Emperor Qin was not unaware of how perilous it was to imprint the concept of mankind triumphing over Heaven onto the Original Source of Heaven and Earth;
Yet, for the sake of the Human Race, he still resolutely did so, and pulled along the experts of various forces who were infiltrating the Human Race, making them join him on this path.
This was using his own downfall to gain an opportunity for the Human Race to resolve its internal threats.
And Jiang Chen was the beneficiary of this plan initiated by the First Emperor. In other words, the project he was implementing, which aimed at reforming by first destroying, was a continuation of this matter.
It was precisely because, when the First Emperor was still Emperor Yu, he set out with these masters who were infiltrating the Human Race that Ancient Times saw the glory of the Human Race.
Similarly, it was precisely because of the fall of these masters that now, the other forces’ masters who are infiltrated within the Human Race are reduced to just a few cats and dogs.
If not for this, the challenges Jiang Chen would be facing now would not be limited to just the two Quasi-Saints, the masters of the Law and Martial Halls.
Because all other masters had died, and under the strict guard of the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns, Mystic Sect found it impossible to place other masters among them, only then did they cultivate these two regardless of the cost.
The current situation Jiang Chen is facing was all created by the First Emperor back then. If not for this, the pressure that Jiang Chen would have to face now would be at least ten times greater.
"The starting point of the Human Race is still too low."
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but lament. From the words of the First Emperor, it wasn’t hard to hear that the previous state of the Human Race was like a sieve, where any force could easily infiltrate.
It sounds helpless but that is the reality—because the starting point of the Human Race was too low, they were incredibly weak at the beginning, making it easy for others to infiltrate.
After all, for the Human Race at that time, surviving in the Chaos World was already quite difficult; where was there room to worry about being infiltrated?
Or rather, the Human Race of that time wished for more forces to infiltrate, as that could at least improve the Human Race’s strength somewhat, ensuring better protection for more of their people.
You should know that in order to gain trust, sometimes the loyalty and courage demonstrated by undercover agents can surpass that of many genuine members of the Human Race.
In the Ancient Era, even if they knew some people were problematic, as long as their strength was great, no one would delve deeply into these issues. Still, the saying goes that being able to survive was challenging enough, and it was sometimes better not to ask too many questions.
In the beginning, they didn’t want to manage, or perhaps they couldn’t manage, and by the time the Human Race became strong, it was already too late to address this issue. After many years of development, they had already fused with the Human Race, becoming a part of them that was difficult to get rid of.
If it weren’t for this, why would Emperor Yu be so driven, using his own life to lead them on that journey?
The Witch Clan and the Demon Clan did not have such problems, needing not worry about infiltration from other races. Firstly, their starting points were high enough, being one of the top forces in the Chaos World right from their establishments, making it very difficult for other forces to infiltrate.
Secondly, this was because the Witch and Demon Clans had their respective characteristics.
Members of the Witch Clan are the descendants of Pangu, linked by blood, naturally eliminating the possibility of infiltration.
As for the Demon Clan, their method was even more drastic. Di Jun directly crafted a banner called the Demon Summoning Banner, where every being that joined the Demon Clan had to imprint their True Spirit on it.
Life and death were entirely under the control of Di Jun, so how could there be any talk of infiltration? It would be good if the Demon Clan itself was not counter-infiltrated.
Actually, the Human Race had its measures to prevent infiltration as well; this was through the Ancient Martial Arts. No matter the previous identity, as long as one cultivated the Ancient Martial Arts, they would be completely bound with the Human Race, having no choice but to fight to their death for the Human Race.
Regrettably, the Ancient Martial Arts appeared too late by which time the Human Race had already been severely infiltrated—there were those who cultivated the Immortal Dao, the Demonic Way, and even various unconventional methods...
Basically, as long as it was a cultivation system that could increase strength, there were people practicing it.
In such a situation, even Human Ancestor found it difficult to strongly implement the Ancient Martial Arts. There were too many involved forces, and forcefully promoting it might very well lead to the Ancient Martial Arts being the first to be suppressed.
"It is precisely because our Human Race had a low starting point that it fostered the spirit of humanity’s assured triumph over Heaven."
The First Emperor always felt that having a low starting point was an advantage for the Human Race, not a disadvantage.
Having a low starting point had its benefits; the Human Race rose from insignificance, constantly battling their way forward, fighting against Heaven, Earth, and all tribes. This nurtured the relentless and self-reliant character of the Human Race, cultivating the spirit of assured triumph over Heaven.
If not for this relentlessness, if not for firmly believing that humanity could triumph over Heaven, how could the Human Race evolve from being the weakest race in the Chaos World to becoming the strongest?
