Inside the Time-Space River.
Lu Daosheng watched Yang Jiusheng leave in a hurry, shook his head with a smile, and then walked forward.
He wanted to see what kind of changes had occurred to the Human Race during that blank period of history.
According to An Xing's report, a long time ago, the Human Race seemed to have an extremely glorious history.
Later, however, the Human Race suddenly disappeared.
There was no record, not even a single trace, of the reason for this in the Wanling Realm.
With curiosity, Lu Daosheng directly looked through the Time-Space River.
Just as Lu Daosheng touched the Time-Space River, the entire Time-Space River immediately trembled.
Fear.
Seeing this, Lu Daosheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as you behave, I won't harm you."
Soon, the scenes Lu Daosheng wanted to see appeared before his eyes.
At that time, the Wanling Realm was countless times more glorious than it is now.
Heavenly Realm experts were everywhere.
Seeing this, Lu Daosheng fell silent.
How was this so similar to the beginning in the Hongmeng Universe?
Could it be that the Wanling Realm also encountered a powerful enemy?
Lu Daosheng then directly skipped to the time period when the Human Race experienced its changes.
At this time, the Human Race was in its most glorious period in history.
The Human Race's three major powers jointly ruled the entire Wanling Realm, reaching a prosperous era where all races paid homage.
One of these powers was the Heavenly Court.
The other two were the Human Emperor Palace and the Holy Sect.
Lu Daosheng thought of Ye Qing, who was still kneeling outside the Huang City gate at this moment.
He claimed to be a Heavenly Court Battle General, so it was no wonder he was so arrogant; the Heavenly Court in its Peak period indeed had the ability to be so proud.
There were thirty-six Heavenly Court Battle Generals, and the Lord of the Heavenly Court had even reached a Realm above the Heavenly Fate Realm, with unfathomable strength.
The other two Human Race powers, the Human Emperor Palace and the Holy Sect, were nearly as strong as the Heavenly Court.
Why did such a powerful Human Race suddenly disappear from the Wanling Realm?
As time passed, the answer was quickly revealed.
Inside an ancient grand hall, three terrifyingly powerful experts sat opposite each other, their eyes filled with solemnity and unwillingness.
"Is there really no other way?"
"They won't give us a chance."
These three were precisely the Human Emperor Hall Master, the Holy Sect Sect Leader, and the Lord of the Heavenly Court.
At this moment, the Lord of the Heavenly Court stood up.
"Fleeing is impossible, begging for mercy is even more impossible. Since that's the case, my Heavenly Court will fight them to the end!"
Hearing this, the other two power leaders exchanged glances, then nodded resolutely.
The Human Race had no cowards.
"Then let's fight!"
On that day, an enormous Space-Time Rift suddenly appeared above the Wanling Realm.
Countless terrifyingly powerful beings, far exceeding the strength of the Wanling Realm, continuously poured out of it.
On that day, the entire Wanling Realm trembled.
In that battle, blood flowed like a river.
That calamity was fated.
Finally, the Human Race was annihilated. The three major powers were almost completely wiped out, with only a very small number of survivors barely clinging to life, but they had lost all hope for the future.
This included Ye Qing.
Afterward, the Wanling Realm also fell into a long period of silence, and civilization almost experienced a discontinuity.
Much, much later, many of the races that survived that great war gradually recovered some vitality and began to reappear in the Wanling Realm.
Although they were far from as powerful as they once were, the basic races still existed.
However, the Human Race could never return.
Because within the Wanling Realm, there was no one left who could bear the burden of the entire Human Race.
Before the Time-Space River, Lu Daosheng remained silent for a long time.
It was like this again.
From the records of the Time-Space River, Lu Daosheng learned the identity of the other party.
The Realm Alliance.
Lu Daosheng had no understanding of this power.
But he knew that they would definitely be his enemies, and that was all that mattered.
Since they had annihilated the Human Race during its most glorious period, they would definitely move against his Huang City as well; it was probably just a matter of time.
And their motive for acting seemed to be because the Human Race was unwilling to submit to them.
Just because of this, they attacked the entire Wanling Realm.
This act was extremely evil.
Immediately, Lu Daosheng left the Time-Space River and returned to the City Lord's Mansion.
After a moment of silence, Lu Daosheng waved his hand, and Ye Qing, who was far outside the Huang City gate, suddenly appeared before Lu Daosheng.
Seeing Lu Daosheng, Ye Qing was stunned, then respectfully said, "Ye Qing pays his respects to Senior!"
This time, he no longer had the arrogance he displayed the first time, but had lowered his status significantly.
At this moment, Lu Daosheng looked at Ye Qing and understood why he had not protected the Human Race all these years.
Because after that battle, the surviving Ye Qing had lost all will to fight and had ultimately confined himself within a certain Heavenly Court ruin, unwilling to face any of it again.
As for revenge, Ye Qing hadn't even thought about it.
Because even when the Human Race was as powerful as it was back then, it was still annihilated by the other party.
The Lord of the Heavenly Court, who had always been invincible in his heart, also died in that great calamity.
He had originally thought he would barely survive the rest of his life, but unexpectedly, he encountered Lu Daosheng.
The first time the two communicated from a distance, Ye Qing only had a slight interest in Lu Daosheng.
The second time Ye Qing came to Huang City and saw such a prosperous Huang City, Ye Qing was also a bit surprised, but he had estimated Lu Daosheng's strength, and it was definitely not comparable to his.
After all, becoming a Heavenly Court Battle General was not as simple as just reaching the Heavenly Fate Realm.
So he wanted to make Lu Daosheng understand his strength, and it was also a reminder to Lu Daosheng not to be so high-profile in the Wanling Realm; otherwise, he might very likely face a catastrophic disaster.
Just like the Human Race back then.
And it was only when Lu Daosheng made his move that all of this stopped.
It turned out that everything was just his clown-like fantasy.
At this moment, Lu Daosheng spoke, "Why have you returned to see me?"
Hearing this, Ye Qing knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice, "I want to join Senior's Huang City and revitalize the Human Race!"
Lu Daosheng looked at Ye Qing, "Revenge?"
Upon hearing these two words, Ye Qing couldn't help but tremble all over.
Clenching his teeth, Ye Qing used all his strength, and finally said firmly, "Revenge!"
After speaking, Ye Qing immediately collapsed onto the ground.
Countless years had passed; this was the first time Ye Qing had uttered the words "revenge."
At this moment, Ye Qing didn't notice that his power had begun to change.
It had grown stronger.
Seeing this, Lu Daosheng smiled.
"I can give you a chance for revenge, but determination isn't just about saying it."
Hearing this, Ye Qing immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as he was given a chance, that was enough.
If he still had a chance in this life to avenge the Heavenly Court and the Human Race, he would die without regrets.
At this moment, Lu Daosheng said, "The Heavenly Court, it's impossible that you're the only one still alive, right?"
Hearing this, Ye Qing's expression trembled, "Senior, do you mean...?"
Lu Daosheng said calmly, "Go find all of them. I will help you all improve your strength."
"When the Realm Alliance arrives, you can have your revenge."
Hearing this, Ye Qing nodded decisively, then said, "Then Senior, I'll go."
However, as soon as Ye Qing stood up, he stumbled again, and his consciousness gradually blurred.
He was too severely injured and hadn't recovered yet.
Seeing this, Lu Daosheng rubbed his forehead, then with a wave of his hand, a pure energy directly restored Ye Qing.
Feeling the vitality overflowing within him, Ye Qing quickly got up, his face embarrassed.
"Thank you, Senior."
Immediately, Ye Qing quickly got up and left Huang City.
Indeed, he was not the only one from the Heavenly Court who survived; the Human Emperor Palace and the Holy Sect were also the same.
But over the years, there had been almost no communication between them, and some people had even died.
Ye Qing had no way of knowing if they still had the will to fight.
Therefore, the task Lu Daosheng had given him was not easy.
But in order to avenge the Heavenly Court and the Human Race, he would carry those former comrades, even if he had to literally carry them, before Lu Daosheng.
He believed that when those comrades saw Lu Daosheng, they would also rekindle their faith, just like him.
Because such a terrifyingly powerful expert was also a member of the Human Race!
