Fantasy: I, the Great Celestial Venerable of the Dao

To interfere with, sabotage, or even eliminate something at a critical juncture in its development.

They intentionally instigate and escalate conflicts and wars between different tribes and forces within the human race.

This prevents them from forming a combined force.

The main areas where the human race lived were demarcated.

This restricts their ability to expand their living space.

And place its relatively resource-rich areas under surveillance or indirect control.

A joint "cleanup" operation will be launched during specific periods or when "uncontrollable variables" occur among the human race.

The East Sea Dragon Clan, relying on its powerful strength and control over the four seas.

He was elected as one of the main implementers and supervisors of the covenant in the four seas.

Even more appalling is the rumor that the East Sea Dragon Palace had secretly contacted forces such as the Western Wilderness Shadow Clan and the Southern Underworld Corpse Emperor a hundred years ago.

The intention is to restart this long-dormant "Primordial Covenant".

They discussed how to deal with the "revival" of the human race in recent years, especially how to curb the rise of the Qingyun Sect and the threat posed by Dao Xuan!

The rumors even went so far as to "leak" some of the contents of the secret meeting.

The text mentions phrases such as "dividing up the fortune of the Central Continent", "suppressing the geniuses of the human race", and "joining forces to eliminate Dao Xuan when necessary"!

Initially, the news only resonated within a small circle at the very top of the pyramid.

But for some reason, perhaps it was deliberately pushed by someone, or perhaps it was a natural transmission of panic.

The related rumors and "evidence" spread like a plague to the lower classes at an alarming rate.

It quickly spread to all the major sects and families in the Central Continent, and spread like wildfire.

The fire spread to the territories of alien forces in the Western Wilderness, Southern Underworld, and Northern Desert.

Countless human tribes, city-states, and minor sects depend on others for survival!

For those humans outside of the Central Continent.

This was nothing short of a lightning bolt that tore through the sky, illuminating the hideous truth behind their generations of suffering!

"No wonder... our ancestral 'Black Flame Technique' of the 'Black Stone Tribe' in the Western Wilderness."

The highest level one can cultivate to is Human Immortal; the methods for cultivating beyond that are always vague and unclear.

Throughout history, geniuses have attempted to complete this work, only to either suffer madness or mysterious death!

"The ancestors of the 'Miasma Rain City' in the Southern Underworld once discovered an ancient cave dwelling, suspected to contain treasure. The news had just spread..."

They were then slaughtered by the army of "Corpse King Ridge" under the guise of bandit suppression, and their caves were also occupied!

"In the 'Snow Wolf Plains' pastures, the best grasslands are always occupied by barbarians."

We can only graze our livestock on the very edge of the most barren ice fields, and any slight complaint will result in whipping and slaughter!

"The fishermen of the islands have worshipped the Dragon King for generations. If they are even slightly negligent, storms will arise, ships will be destroyed, and people will die!"

It turns out it wasn't a natural disaster, but a man-made one!

The humiliation, poverty, injustice and despair that had accumulated over countless generations were completely ignited at this moment!

Panic spread rapidly, like the most potent poisonous fog.

Sporadic riots, protests, and even small-scale clashes broke out in many places.

However, it was quickly suppressed by the powerful local alien forces using overwhelming and bloody methods.

Blood and fire, instead of quelling the panic, were like boiling oil poured into a raging fire.

It makes the grief and hatred of humankind burn even more fiercely!

This also made the authenticity of the "Ancient Covenant" an unquestionable "fact" in the hearts of countless humans!

Even in the relatively stable Central Continent, where powerful figures abound.

This news was like a major earthquake for the soul!

Inside the Jade Purity Hall, there was a deathly silence.

Only heavy breathing and suppressed anger burned silently.

Wan Jianyi's hand, gripping the jade slip, bulged with veins.

That jade slip was sealed by the Xuan Tian Sect's Lingxiao Zhenren using the highest secret method, ensuring that it could never be tampered with.

At this moment, it felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.

It not only recounted all the rumors in detail, but also included blurry rubbings of several copies of the "secret letter".

In addition, there were urgent pleas for help and accusations, each word written in blood and tears, coming from several human settlements outside of Central Continent.

Tian Buyi's chest heaved violently, and crimson flames flickered all over his body.

The white jade ground beneath him sizzled and crackled, billowing black smoke.

He abruptly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, his voice hoarse with extreme rage:

"Captive breeding... How dare they treat us, their ancestors, their own flesh and blood, as..."

They were treated like livestock in a pen!

They can take whatever they want, and control life and death!

They also want to sever my path and cut off my lineage!

This hatred, this grudge, even if the waters of the four seas were poured out, could not wash away even a fraction of it!

With each word he spoke, the temperature in the hall rose a notch, and the air itself seemed to distort from the heat.

Master Cangsong did not roar, but the sword energy emanating from his body had already solidified into a tangible form.

It transformed into countless transparent sword threads, as fine as cow's hair yet incomparably sharp.

It moved silently, cutting through the area within three feet of him, emitting a faint, chilling hiss.

His face was as taut as a block of ancient ice, yet his eyes were sharper and colder than the coldest sword blade.

Zeng Shuchang slowly released his hand, and a few strands of his beard that had been accidentally broken off drifted down.

This usually calm and composed elder now had a frosty expression on his face, and his voice was low and rumbling like thunder:

"If this rumor is true, then many ancient mysteries can be easily solved."

In the late ancient times, why did His Majesty the Human Emperor, who had already established his rule over the nine provinces and whose power extended to the four seas, fall from grace?

Will they suddenly launch the "Severing the Connection Between Heaven and Earth" war that nearly shattered the primordial continent and caused the separation of heaven and earth?

Historical records state that this was to separate the heavens from the human realm and to restore order.

Now it seems that the deeper reason is probably to break the invisible shackles and bloody conspiracy that this "Ancient Covenant" has imposed on our human race!

This is because we humans are under the watchful eyes of those ancient races.

Fight your way out and fight for a chance to survive on your own!

The price paid... was so terrible, so tragic!

Shuiyue's face was as cold as jade, her fingertips turned white from the force, and her clear voice carried an uncontrollable tremor and chill:

"So it is said that the Dragon Palace of the East Sea secretly colluded a hundred years ago to restart the alliance."

It is only natural that they would target my Qingyun Sect and my senior brother, the sect leader.

They saw their senior brother, the sect leader, emerge from nowhere and slay the alien Taiyi, making Qingyun's power immense.

It has become the biggest "variable" and "hindrance" in their suppression plan.

Therefore, we want to get rid of it as soon as possible!

Black Fiend Valley's clumsy tricks were probably just a test, or... a prelude to a larger conspiracy!

The younger generation of Taiyi, including Xiao Yicai, Lu Xueqi, Zhang Xiaofan, and Lin Jingyu.

But listening to the analysis and rebukes of his teachers, and seeing the shocking records in the jade slips and the tragic state of the outside world...

I felt the same way; it was as if a ball of molten lava was stuck in my chest, ready to erupt at any moment.

They clenched their fists, their eyes burning with a deep anger and fierce fighting spirit beyond their years.

Wan Jianyi gently placed the jade slip on the table, his movement light, yet it seemed to carry a thousand pounds of weight.

He raised his eyes, his gaze slowly sweeping over each of his fellow disciples in the hall.

"Gentlemen!"

His voice rang out, no longer hoarse, but unusually calm, but beneath this calmness...

It is a volcano about to erupt.

The truth still needs to be verified.

But this matter has already shocked the heavens, shaken the foundation of humanity for eternity, and ignited boundless bloodshed and hatred.
