Chapter 407: Taking Huafeng Outside, the Human Clan’s Peak Must Decline
At the foot of the mountain.
A graceful young man and an exceptionally beautiful woman were strolling on a narrow path.
These two were Chen Changsheng from the Mountain River Academy and Huafeng.
“Why did you bring me out?”
“Being with the Culinary Immortal allows for more opportunities.”
Looking at Chen Changsheng, Huafeng voiced the doubts in her heart.
In response, Chen Changsheng said, “Can you give me a title?”
“Well, I suppose I could use my name; after all, I’ve given you some guidance.”
“I don’t want to call you ‘young lady’.”
“Why not?”
“Because it makes me hesitate to defeat you when the time comes; in my heart, you are not unbeatable.”
“Moreover, calling someone by their name directly is disrespectful to a strong person, and I don’t want to do that.”
“Hahaha!”
Hearing Huafeng’s words, Chen Changsheng laughed heartily.
“There are many who wish to k*ll me, many who respect me, and many who fear me.”
“However, you’re the first to want to surpass me after experiencing my methods.”
“Weren’t you just asking why I brought you out?”
“That’s the reason—because I admire you.”
“You are a proud and clever little peacock.”
Looking at Chen Changsheng’s cheerful expression, Huafeng spoke.
“My brother calculates the world, severing the entire Crimson Realm’s future, so why still teach me?”
“Why shouldn’t I teach you?”
“Indeed, your brother severed the Crimson Realm’s future, but I never said he was wrong.”
“Some things are different depending on who does them, right or wrong.”
Faced with Chen Changsheng’s remarks, Huafeng was quite surprised.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng waved his hand and said, “Let’s walk and talk.”
“Let me explain exactly what the Crimson Realm is like now.”
Chen Changsheng stepped forward again, while Huafeng closely followed beside him.
“The Demon Court controls the world, and now, aside from the Human Clan and Divine Clan, the other races are under the control of the Demon Clan.”
“The Divine Clan can stand alone due to its rich heritage and strength.”
“The Human Clan’s independence largely relies on historical sentiments.”
“The God of Wealth lineage suddenly breaking away from the Demon Court serves as a warning to the Demon Court: humans and demons are on different paths.”
“Aside from the God of Wealth lineage, the Heavenly Silkworm Clan, Peacock Clan, and the Qingqiu Fox Clan.”
“These three major demon clans are close to the Human Clan, which is why the Human Clan can stand on its own.”
Hearing this, Huafeng inquired, “What does this have to do with what my brother is doing?”
“Of course, it matters, and it matters greatly.”
“Under normal circumstances, the Human Clan should quickly regain its vitality under such conditions.”
“But the reality is, someone made a mistake.”
“Who?”
“The one who left behind a contingency for the Human Clan.”
As he spoke, Chen Changsheng looked toward the distant sky, murmuring.
“According to that person’s calculations, the Heavenly Silkworm Clan and the Peacock Clan are responsible for attracting the attention of the Demon Clan.”
“After all, they were once part of the Beast Clan, and it takes time for them to fully integrate into the Demon Clan.”
“And the Qingqiu Fox Clan is responsible for alleviating the hostility directed at the Human Clan from the Demon Clan; combined with some rules left by the Demon Emperor, the Human Clan’s survival environment becomes much more comfortable.”
“Although the Mountain River Academy educates everyone, it is, after all, an academy founded by the Supreme Saint.”
“When encountering talented members of the Human Clan, the Mountain River Academy will certainly do its best to nurture them.”
“But that person calculated everything, yet he ultimately didn’t foresee that the Human Clan would be so ineffective.”
“For thousands of years, not a single leader has emerged from the Human Clan.”
“Facing such a situation, your brother naturally has to sever the future of the Crimson Realm.”
After listening, Huafeng’s eyes were filled with confusion.
“I still don’t completely understand your words.”
“Not understanding is normal because I haven’t finished speaking.”
“The Dual World War and the Battle of Extinction have unlocked many ‘shackles’ for all beings in the world.”
“But nothing is absolute; some ‘shackles’ will inevitably slip through the net.”
“As your kind develops rapidly, those ‘slipped through’ are also recovering quickly.”
“If the Human Clan could produce a leader and then join forces with the Demon Clan, they could certainly deal with those ‘slipped through’.”
“The problem is, the Human Clan has been ineffective; after so many years, they still have not produced a leader.”
“Your brother stands alone; he can only sever the future of the Crimson Realm to prevent the enemy’s recovery.”
“I don’t agree with your statement,” Huafeng looked at Chen Changsheng and said, “The Demon Clan may be strong, but the Human Clan also has many prodigies.”
“Aren’t they leaders, too?”
Seeing Huafeng’s serious expression, Chen Changsheng smiled.
“The little peacock is still the little peacock; her thoughts carry a certain innocence.”
“I won’t deny that there are many remarkable talents within the Human Clan, but talent alone does not make a leader.”
“To lead a race, even the spirits of the world, strong power is only part of the conditions.”
“They also need broad vision and wisdom.”
“For example, your brother solved many problems with a single use of Divine Source subsidies.”
“The divide between the new and old Demon Clans was eased, and the Human Clan became even more desirous of the Demon Clan, with some from the Divine Clan also swayed.”
“This approach seems quite simple, but did the Demon Court provide as many resources as the Human and Divine Clans did?”
“It’s not that there aren’t people in the Human and Divine Clans who can see the brilliance of this tactic, but the real difficulty lies in their inability to overcome obstacles within their own races.”
“You are his younger sister; you know how many obstacles your brother faced when implementing the Divine Source subsidies.”
“But your brother resolved these troubles without bloodshed and successfully promoted the Divine Source subsidies.”
“Isn’t that great wisdom?”
“Can such things be done solely by relying on strength?”
“Gulur!”
Huafeng swallowed hard, her eyes filled with shock.
Because she had never realized how remarkable her brother truly was.
Thinking this, Huafeng said, “Then what about the Mountain River Academy?”
“The Mountain River Academy was established by the Human Clan and serves as the stabilizing force for the Human Clan; what have they accomplished?”
“They’ve done nothing, and they even fell prey to your brother’s schemes once.”
“The method of cutting off one’s roots was devised by the Mountain River Academy, and your brother promoted it, yet the blame falls entirely on the Mountain River Academy.”
“Earlier, I said that the Human Clan was ineffective; you didn’t think I was only referring to the Spirit Domain, did you?”
“The Mountain River Academy is definitely included!”
“I don’t deny that there are strong practitioners in the Mountain River Academy, but the problem is that a high level of cultivation doesn’t mean they can solve these issues; that is the difference between a leader and an ordinary person.”
“While the cultivation world operates on the principle of survival of the fittest, if you k*ll others, they can k*ll you too.”
“Taking action to k*ll is always a last resort, and it should generally be avoided unless absolutely necessary.”
“The Dual World War and the Battle of Extinction have exhausted the major races’ strength, and they are yet to recover.”
“Given the current state of the Human Clan, if another war breaks out, they might very well face extinction!”
