Chapter 394: The Human Clan is in Grave Danger, Chen Changsheng is at a Loss
Watching the battle in the sky, Chen Changsheng found an open spot to sit down.
As soon as Chen Changsheng sat down, Potato instantly appeared beside him.
A platter of top-quality roasted broad beans and a jug of warm wine were prepared by Potato with tenacious care.
“Don’t be angry, the situation must be dealt with step by step; this conspiracy is indeed wicked.”
“If I had known, I would have intervened.”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng shook his head and replied, “You couldn’t have stopped it. If you had acted, it might have dragged the Qingqiu Fox Clan into the quagmire as well.”
“I just can’t understand who is currently in charge of the Human Clan. Do they all have their heads filled with excrement?”
“They are digging deep, yet the Humans show no reaction at all.”
“The Mountain River Academy is a cornerstone of the cultivation world; every student here is a foundation of the Human Clan.”
“To put it plainly, they are the future of the Human Clan; the future will be created by them.”
“If anything happens to them, the Human Clan might disappear from this realm.”
Upon hearing this, Potato smiled and said, “Your words are very insightful.”
“Eliminating a race is not a simple task; the Beast Clan was not eradicated even under such circumstances, and the Human Clan certainly won’t be.”
“Exterminating an entire race is indeed challenging, as there will always be some who escape.”
“However, a strategy that attacks the mind leaves no room to escape. Have you noticed? When receiving subsidies, Xu Hu was also involved.”
“The strongest sects of the Human Clan have unknowingly fallen into this trap. How long can the others survive?”
“When all the Humans come to accept that they are part of the Demon Clan, will the Human Clan still exist?”
Upon hearing this, Potato fell silent.
Because from the current perspective, the situation for the Human Clan was indeed not optimistic, and the main reason was the “backup” left by Chen Changsheng back then.
The union between the World’s No. 1 Spring and the Qingqiu Fox Clan was initially aimed at leaving a glimmer of hope for the Human Clan.
If the Demon Clan were to take control of the world, they would not make things too difficult for the World’s No. 1 Spring, considering the name of the Qingqiu Fox Clan.
In addition, the Heavenly Silkworm and Peacock were both backups left by Chen Changsheng.
Their existence was to reserve a spark of hope for the Human Clan at critical moments.
However, a change occurred halfway through the plan, which was that the Three Clans grew too close to the World’s No. 1 Spring.
This also caused some Human Clans to lower their guard.
Thinking of this, Potato opened her mouth and asked, “Is there any chance of changing this situation?”
“Not at the moment,” Chen Changsheng shook his head and said, “Most Humans only see the simple surface.”
“They don’t pay attention to the reasons behind the actions of the ‘World’s No. 1 Spring’.”
“Now that the Demon Clan controls the world, the ‘World’s No. 1 Spring’ must maintain a good relationship with the Demon Clan to ensure better survival for the Human Clan.”
“Furthermore, the ‘World’s No. 1 Spring’ has a marriage alliance with the Fox Clan, so it’s reasonable to get closer.”
“But the people below don’t understand this logic; they only see how the strongest sect of the Human Clan is getting along with the Demon Clan.”
“If the strongest sect of the Human Clan does this, these people will naturally mimic them.”
“Moreover, merely changing a name can garner subsidies—what’s not to like?”
“But they fail to realize that over time, after those younger generations grow up, they will subconsciously think that the Human Clan is a branch of the Demon Clan.”
“When that happens, will the Human Clan still be the Human Clan?”
“The ‘World’s No. 1 Spring’ ultimately did not grasp this balance well.”
Saying this, Chen Changsheng turned to look at Potato.
“Potato, what do you think the Human Clan is currently lacking?”
“Spirit!”

“A sense of unwavering spirit.”
“Right now, the Human Clan is too far removed from the Human Clan before the war against the extermination.”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng nodded, “That’s right, it’s too far. Do you remember the Xiniu Hezhou’s Xuanwu Alliance?”
“Back then, I lured a disaster to the Xuanwu Alliance.”
“The alliance leader, Gu Zhengyi, derived all his abilities from the Demon Clan, and your grandmother was his mentor, albeit without the formal designation of teacher and disciple.”
“Faced with the disaster and that unclear mentorship, Gu Zhengyi never yielded; he never forgot the distinction between the Human and Demon Clans.”
“At that time, many people in Xuanwu City feared for their lives. They did not choose to fight to the d*ath but to flee.”
“Yet despite this, those who were afraid still did not confuse the boundaries between the two clans in their hearts.”
“But now, look at how much the boundary between the Human and Demon Clans has diminished.”
“How many people believe that there is no distinction between the two clans?”
Hearing this, Potato fell silent again, as she could not find a solution either.
If anyone strongly targeted the issue of subsidies from the Demon Court, the entire Demon Clan would turn into that person’s enemy.
The Human Clan was currently no match for the Demon Clan and could not withstand such a great upheaval.
“Since the heart-striking issue cannot be resolved temporarily, do you have a way to handle the turmoil in the Mountain River Academy?”
“No!”
“The turmoil in the Mountain River Academy arises from the point system here.”
“This system was initially fine, but the problem lies in the subsidies provided by the Demon Court and the pushers behind it.”
“The academy’s points are valuable and can be exchanged for many things that cannot be bought with Divine Source.”
“But most students’ points are too few to be of any use, and coupled with the pain of the cultivation period, these factors can easily lead them to become slack.”
“If this were under normal circumstances, it wouldn’t be a big deal, as not everyone can become successful.”
“But with the emergence of subsidies, it has infinitely magnified this problem.”
“A one to one hundred ratio is simply too high.”
“One thousand points equal ten thousand Divine Source; how many students in the Mountain River Academy can resist this temptation?”
Upon hearing this, Potato pursed her lips and said, “A one to one hundred ratio is indeed exaggerated; it shouldn’t be this high at ordinary times.”
“Even if it’s not a one to one hundred ratio, how many can withstand the temptation of one to ten?”
“According to academy rules, ten thousand points can hire a teacher from the Divine Realm for a private lesson.”
“Students in the external academy could scrimp and save for a long time to afford just one session. Where can they find such opportunities outside the Mountain River Academy?”
“Calculated at a one to one hundred ratio, ten thousand points can be exchanged for one million Divine Source.”
“One million Divine Source might allow you to hire an ordinary expert from the Divine Realm to guide you.”
“But it absolutely cannot hire a skilled expert in a specific field who will teach you with care. On the surface, it seems like earning a lot by exchanging points for Divine Source.”
“But in reality, those exchanging Divine Source are betting their future away.”
“On the other hand, the Demon Clan has subsidies, and they can use their subsidies to purchase points.”
“Under this mutual fluctuation, does the Human Clan still have hope for survival before the Demon Clan? Does it still have a future?”
“Moreover, the troublesome part is that prohibiting the trade of points is not feasible.”
“The Mountain River Academy, including myself, cannot monitor all students.”
“Even if I push for a reform of the system to make points non-tradable, some people will still use points to purchase unique resources from the academy and then sell them.”
“Once human hearts begin to change, no matter how good the system is, it won’t hold.”
After listening to Chen Changsheng’s analysis, Potato also understood the severity of the situation.
Now she finally realized why Wang Hao was unwilling to intervene in this matter; because it was too complex and troublesome.
