Humans live in the primordial world, investing in countless realms

Chapter 60: Appointed as the Guardian Deity of the Human Race, and lodges a complaint with Lao Tzu!

Zhen Yuanzi was also a little embarrassed. At this moment, should he say yes?

If I were to say those words out loud, something really bad would happen.

However, he was indeed a little worried about leaving these two people here if he didn't say anything.

"It's not that I mean to drive you two away, but it's not good for you to stay among the human race any longer. After all, the two sages once said that the human race should not be disturbed. So please stay here."

Zhen Yuanzi himself felt embarrassed by what he said, since he was still there.

"That's not right, fellow Daoist, aren't you also among the human race?"

Chang Xi asked hesitantly, wanting to see what the other person would say.

After a short while, Zhen Yuanzi could only sigh. Since there was no way to avoid it anyway, he could only speak.

"Alas, to be frank, fellow Daoists, I am here as the fourth ancestor who protects the human race. Recently, a demon clan invaded the human race, extracting the life essence and stealing the soul of a human. Therefore, the human race has indeed been on guard against the demon clan recently. So, fellow Daoists..."

Chang Xi was taken aback upon hearing this, and for a moment she wanted to ask what the relationship was between the demon race and them.

But a moment later, she thought of the matter of the Heavenly Marriage and couldn't help but sigh.

If they marry Di Jun in the future, then in their lives thereafter he will indeed be considered a demon.

But at least they are not demons now, so why drive them away at this time?

Finally, I couldn't help but grit my teeth!

"That damned Di Jun, he created this mess himself, and now it's all affecting us!"

"In that case, we are willing to protect the human race. May we stay here?"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi sighed. Looking at the expressions of the two people now, he understood what was going on.

For a moment, I just felt that these two people were pitiful.

Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but look up at the sky.

"Without becoming a saint, there is no freedom, no carefree existence."

At this moment, Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh behind Zhen Yuanzi and walked out.

"Seniors, this matter was entrusted to Senior Zhen Yuanzi. However, if you are willing to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao to protect the human race, you may stay here!"

A vow to Heaven?

Chang Xi and Xi He exchanged a glance and shook their heads helplessly. However, their perception of the demon race had worsened.

Humanity was created by a sage, who even spoke of protecting it.

Now, the other side dares to attack the human race right under their noses.

This was clearly a slap in the face to the sage, but they were also curious as to why the sage had not taken any action.

However, since it involved me and I was almost driven out by the human race, I still remembered this incident.

"Very well, we two are willing to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao to protect the human race!"

After speaking, Chang Xi and Xi He exchanged a glance, and then raised one hand high.

"I, Changxi/Xihe, wish to protect humanity and keep it safe. May Heaven bear witness!"

A series of muffled thunderclaps echoed in the sky, as if the Heavenly Dao was responding to this vow.

Lin Chen's eyes lit up as he watched the two make their vows.

These two are destined to be the future emperors and empresses of the demon race, yet they swear to protect the human race at this time.

If Di Jun attacks the human race, wouldn't these two fight him to the death?

While "desperate" might be an exaggeration, if they do nothing, these two will certainly suffer the backlash of Heaven.

In an instant, Lin Chen seemed to realize that simply asking the two to protect the human race was a favor, and allowing them free access to the human race was a bit unfair to them.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Chen immediately took out a small seal.

Within the small seal, countless forces of fortune were being nurtured. Then, Lin Chen raised the small seal high and spoke loudly.

"Today, Lin Chen, the fourth ancestor of the human race, hereby bestows upon Chang Xi and Xi He, the lords of the Taiyin Star, and Zhen Yuanzi of the Wuzhuang Temple, the supreme treasure of the human race, the Kongtong Seal, to be guardian deities of the human race, sharing in the human race's destiny. May the righteous path of humanity bear witness!"

As soon as Lin Chen finished speaking, streams of fortune rose from the Kongtong Seal in his hand, transforming into a golden dragon that rushed directly towards the human race's location.

At the same time, the image of the human guardian deity appeared in the minds of all humans.

Just a moment later, Chang Xi, Xi He, and Zhen Yuanzi felt a kind of fortune that did not belong to the Heavenly Dao attach itself to their bodies.

Zhen Yuanzi naturally understood; this might be the destiny of humanity.

However, his gaze couldn't help but fall on the small seal in Lin Chen's hand.

"Lin Chen, is this the ultimate treasure of humanity?"

A flawless version after careful inspection!

Lin Chen nodded, then retracted the Kongtong Seal into his body and breathed a sigh of relief.

Chang Xi and Xi He were both quite excited, especially Chang Xi.

"Guardian of Humanity, not a bad name. Alright, I accept it. You're not bad. From now on, I'll protect humanity!"

Lin Chen nodded, and just as he was about to exchange a few words with the two, a series of oppressive forces swept across the entire land from the sky!

This oppressive force was something that even Zhen Yuanzi and his two companions could not resist.

Lin Chen was so pale he almost collapsed to the ground. Fortunately, a surge of chaotic ancestral energy rose from his body and merged into his flesh and blood, gradually stripping away the oppressive aura of a saint.

Lin Chen's expression also improved considerably.

"Huh, interesting, definitely an anomaly!"

At this moment, Zhen Yuanzi's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, and he looked up at the sky.

Upon seeing the figure riding the blue ox, a hint of doubt instantly appeared on his face.

"Who do we have here? It's none other than Fellow Daoist Taishang! Oh, right, now you should be called a Sage!"

Laozi waved his hand dismissively, seemingly ignoring the meaning behind Zhen Yuanzi's words, but looked at Lin Chen with an indifferent expression.

"Lin Chen, the Ancestor of Humanity, why did you arbitrarily seize the human race's destiny and distribute it to others?"

Lin Chen looked at the figure riding a green ox in the sky, exuding an air of otherworldly grace, and felt no fear. He simply spoke.

"Since the three seniors are willing to protect our human race, I naturally do not want them to leave empty-handed."

"Moreover, our human race is weak and of low origin, making it difficult to advance even an inch in cultivation. Surviving in this prehistoric world is truly difficult. I implore the Sage to consider this!"

Looking at Lin Chen's composed demeanor, Laozi's eyes held a hint of doubt, but he quickly regained his indifference and spoke again.

"Do you perhaps believe that we saints are incapable of protecting your humankind?"

Lin Chen looked at Laozi for a moment, then clenched his fist.

"Your Excellency is unaware that some time ago, after you attained enlightenment, countless powerful beings from the primordial eras coveted the human race. A demon race seized the opportunity to invade and slaughter humans. This has made us feel a sense of crisis. Even now, with the protection of the Sage, there is still a demon race that dares to risk its life to come. If we wait until the Sage's protection expires, how will our human race survive?"
