Traversing countless worlds from the primordial era

Chapter 80 The Demon Clan's Plan, Lei Ming's Resolve

Ku Yuan composed himself and said, "Following your instructions, I secretly led my people to the shores of the East Sea. We were quite lucky; it took us over 300 years to find this place. It's indeed much safer here than Qingyu Mountain, though we still face occasional maritime disasters. We've established a new Rainbow City, and our territory spans millions of miles. We've also established ties with the sea tribes, exchanging resources with them. Now, the entire Rainbow City has over 200 million humans, including more than 100,000 Earth Immortals!"

"You did a great job!" Lei Ming was very pleased to hear that.

"It's just that our cultivation tradition is incomplete, and we can't break through to the Earth Immortal level after that," Ku Yuan said, shaking his head.

"That's alright. I established the Inheritance Hall in the ancestral land. The Inheritance Hall contains cultivation techniques deduced by the strong members of my human race. The most powerful one is the cultivation technique practiced by the three ancestors, which can directly lead to the Golden Immortal realm," Lei Ming said.

Ku Yuanxi exclaimed, "That's wonderful! With these cultivation techniques, our human race will gain many more powerful individuals!"

Lei Ming was not so optimistic. The cultivation method deduced by the Three Ancestors was most suitable for them, but it had very high requirements for aptitude. No one in the ancestral land had been able to cultivate it to this day.

Not only the Three Ancestors' techniques, but also Chisongzi's techniques require a high level of natural talent.

"The continuation of the human race still depends on me," Lei Ming thought to himself. He possessed the inheritance of the Five Elements Ancestor, so it was not difficult for him to deduce the Five Elements attribute cultivation techniques at the True Immortal level, and most of the human race had the aptitude of the Five Elements attribute.

After discussing the cultivation technique, Lei Ming assigned Ku Yuan a task.

"Because of the threat from the demon race, my three ancestors and I discussed it and decided to relocate our people here," Lei Ming said.

Ku Yuan frowned: "The coast of the East Sea is vast. Let alone a billion people, even a hundred billion wouldn't be a problem. But it won't be easy for a billion people to migrate here from Buzhou Mountain."

"We'll handle the relocation. You take your men and make preparations in advance to welcome them, especially ensuring the supply of materials," Lei Ming said.

"No problem, the East China Sea is full of treasures!"

After discussing it with Ku Yuan, Lei Ming hurriedly returned to the ancestral land. He predicted that after the Mountain and River Map, the demon race would not attack the human race so quickly, but they would not allow the human race to grow stronger. Only by relocating the human race as soon as possible could they avoid the threat of the demon race.

In the ancestral land of humanity, the Three Ancestors led the crafting of tens of thousands of flying boats. To improve the quality of these flying boats, the Three Ancestors consumed a considerable amount of merit. Originally, the flying boats were merely ordinary immortal artifacts, but after the addition of merit, each flying boat became comparable to a top-grade immortal artifact, second only to acquired spiritual treasures.

Above the ancestral land, ten thousand flying boats, each a kilometer long, covered the entire sky.

"All the spiritual materials accumulated in the ancestral land have been exhausted, and the flying boats have finally been forged!" Looking at those flying boats, Suirenshi's gaze was complicated. Each of these flying boats could carry 100,000 humans, and driven by magic power, the flying boats flew at a speed comparable to that of a true immortal! With these flying boats, the human race could quickly leave Buzhou Mountain. However, the thought of leaving the ancestral land filled Suirenshi with immense reluctance.

"We will definitely come back when we are strong enough," said Arisu.

"Indeed, this is the ancestral land of our human race. Although we are leaving today, the ancestral land is still the ancestral land!" said the Ziyi clan.

Suirenshi nodded: "Leiming is right. If we save the land but lose the people, we will lose both; if we save the people but lose the land, we will save both! When we return here in the future, it will be the moment when our human race overwhelms the demon race!"

The three ancestors were unaware that after a great eon, the human race would surpass the demon race and become the protagonist of the world. However, the human race would no longer be able to return to their ancestral land, because by then, the ancestral land would have been completely destroyed.

After the three patriarchs made preparations for the migration, Chisongzi returned to his ancestral land a few years later. Chisongzi's purpose this time was to seek cooperation with the Wu tribe. There was a large Wu tribe to the southeast of Buzhou Mountain, and Chisongzi had traveled there before and made acquaintances with several Wu tribesmen.

When the Third Patriarch saw that Chisongzi had returned, he immediately inquired about the affairs of the Wu tribe. However, Chisongzi brought back bad news.

"The Witch Clan rejected our cooperation. In their eyes, the human race is too weak and has no right to cooperate with them. They will only protect us if the human race becomes a vassal of the Witch Clan," said Chi Songzi. He had tried to persuade the Witch Clan for decades, but to no avail. The reason was simple: the human race was too weak.

The three patriarchs all changed color.

"The good news is that the Wu tribe is not hostile towards us, perhaps because we look similar. If we pass through the Wu tribe in the future, they shouldn't cause us any trouble," Chisongzi added.

Suirenshi nodded: "Becoming a vassal of the Wu tribe is impossible. It seems we can only rely on ourselves. I wonder how things are going with Leiming? Have they found Kuyuan and the others?"

Lei Ming was returning from the East China Sea at this time. At his speed, he should have already arrived at the ancestral land, but an accident occurred on the way.

Lei Ming discovered a demon race a million miles from his ancestral homeland, and their numbers were astonishing. These demons formed an encampment, blocking Lei Ming's path.

Lei Ming didn't want to fight with the demon race, so he quietly circled south. To his surprise, there were also demons stationed there.

A bad feeling rose in Lei Ming's heart. He went west again and found the demon race there as well.

"This is definitely not a coincidence. It seems the demon race intends to trap us here!" Lei Ming felt a chill in his heart. The demon race's actions were too swift, and this move was indeed ruthless. Because the goddess Nuwa could not immediately annihilate the human race, the demon race trapped the human race in their ancestral land, restricting their development. When the time was right, the Heavenly Court would only need to send a small team to wipe out the entire human race.

Lei Ming dared not delay any longer. He used earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique used in Chinese fantasy novels) to bypass the demon race's encirclement and returned to his ancestral land.

"What? We're surrounded by demons! This is really troublesome!" Chisongzi exclaimed as soon as Leiming explained the situation.

Lei Ming quickly asked, "Is the Witch Clan unwilling to send troops?"

Chisongzi smiled wryly and said, "Although the Wu Clan and the Demon Clan are sworn enemies, they are unwilling to clash with the Demon Clan because of the Human Clan."

"Are we doomed to be trapped in our ancestral lands?" A sense of pessimism spread among the human race.

"No, to break the demon race's blockade, we must win the support of the witch race!" Lei Ming knew very well that the human race could hide in their ancestral land, and even if the war between the witch and the demon race broke the heavens in the future, the human race would have saints to protect them. But in that case, the human race would lose countless heroes, and the human race in future generations would become pawns of various sects, at their mercy.

"Chisongzi, you will come with me to the Witch Clan Tribe!" Lei Ming said decisively.

"Is this feasible?" asked Ziyi.

"Whether it's feasible or not, we have to give it a try," Lei Ming said firmly.

Southeast of Buzhou Mountain lies the tribe of Houyi, a great shaman under the ancestral shaman Houtu. The great shaman is the strongest below the ancestral shaman, and Houyi is the strongest among the great shamans, with strength comparable to the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Hou Yi was skilled at archery, and the witch tribe of his tribe also loved hunting; of course, they hunted powerful demons.

"The leader is back!"

When the witch tribe of Houyi saw Houyi returning with a colossal beast ten thousand meters long, they immediately surrounded him. Houyi threw the beast aside, and it crashed to the ground, creating a deep chasm.

"Cut off its flesh and roast it, boil the bones into soup, and use it to help the younger generation build their foundation," Hou Yi said.

"Yes, Chief!"

At this moment, another great shaman of Houyi's tribe, Longqiu, stepped forward and said, "Houyi, the weak human race has sent people again, and they want to see you."

Hou Yi scoffed, "What could they possibly do?"

"This time, the people who came are quite arrogant, saying they want to form an alliance with my Witch Clan." Long Qiu said, laughing at himself. "If word gets out that a tiny human race wants to form an alliance with my Witch Clan, wouldn't the demon race laugh themselves to death?"

Hou Yi laughed and said, "We have no right to decide such things. Let them go."

Long Qiu nodded and sent a local shaman to prepare to drive Lei Ming and Chi Songzi away.

Lei Ming and Chi Songzi were still waiting for news when the ten-meter-tall Earth Witch Yan Ya walked over.

"You two little brats, the leader doesn't have time to see you. You'd better leave now!" Yan Ya said, his voice booming and his aura fierce, his muscles gleaming like refined iron.

"Chief Hou Yi is back? That's great! Take me to see him!" Lei Ming said.

Yan Ya's eyes widened: "Little brat, didn't you hear me? The chief won't see you. You'd better leave now, or I'll throw you out."
