"Go, go, go, don't ask so much, just go back!"

Faced with the villagers' curious questions, the Old Village Chief didn't want to hurt Mu Jinyu's self-esteem any further, so he waved them away.

Having heard this, the villagers naturally guessed the answer, gave Mu Jinyu a sympathetic look, and went their separate ways.

The Old Village Chief looked at Mu Jinyu and sighed, "Child, don't think too much. Just rest well for a few days. It's nothing. Our village has plenty of people who can't cultivate either!"

He felt quite guilty inside. If he hadn't insisted on having Mu Jinyu take the bloodline test, mistakenly believing that Mu Jinyu's Bloodline Power was strong, Mu Jinyu wouldn't have felt pride and expectancy, and wouldn't be facing such a heavy blow now!

Mu Jinyu came back to his senses, looked up at the Old Village Chief, and asked, "Chief, can I ask you a few questions?"

"Sure, come with me..."

The Old Village Chief thought for a while, considering this a chance to guide Mu Jinyu, and nodded in agreement.

Then he took him to his own dwelling.

The chief's dwelling wasn't much better than the temporary room Mu Jinyu was staying in, it was just as shabby, exuding a sense of decay.

"Sit down, I'll make you some tea..."

The Old Village Chief took a cushion and placed it on the hard wooden bed, signaling Mu Jinyu to sit first, then went to make tea.

Soon, the Old Village Chief prepared a cup of tea resembling chrysanthemum tea and handed it to Mu Jinyu.

Mu Jinyu took it and sipped, finding the taste a bit bitter at first, but soon it turned slightly sweet.

The Old Village Chief spoke, "You see, sometimes life is like this, often bitter before sweet. Now you..."

Mu Jinyu listened to the Old Village Chief's earnest teachings, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Do I really seem so affected by the blow from my Bloodline Power that I need guidance?

Mu Jinyu said, "Chief, I came to you not for guidance, but to ask you some questions..."

"Oh? What questions?"

Upon hearing this, the Old Village Chief stopped, looked curiously at Mu Jinyu, and asked.

Mu Jinyu had already sorted out the chaotic thoughts in his mind before coming and directly asked: "Why is the Pureblooded Human Race considered inferior? Why must there be the Bloodline Power of other species in the body to be considered having cultivation talent?!"

"Why did the Sect Master of the Qinghe Sect say my talent 'Blood-Colored Mirroring Rivers and Mountains' would have been decent in ancient times, but is useless now?"

Mu Jinyu asked the Old Village Chief several questions in succession.

The Old Village Chief, after hearing Mu Jinyu's questions, organized his thoughts before explaining: "Let me first explain your Bloodline Phenomenon issue..."

"A long time ago, the cultivation environment in the Canglan Realm wasn't so bad for our Human Race. We were actually strong, with several Human Emperors appearing, all of whom were Pureblooded Human Race, without any Bloodline Power from other species in their bodies. At that time, under the leadership of these Human Emperors, the Human Race once ranked in the top ten among the Ten Thousand Clans in the Canglan Realm, listed among the Ten Great Strong Races!"

"At that time..."

As the Old Village Chief spoke, his eyes unintentionally revealed a hint of longing and pride, continuing: "At that time, our Human Race neither worshiped gods nor honored Buddhas, and neither revered Immortals nor feared Devils! We..."

"Saw them as prey!"

As he uttered the last sentence, the Old Village Chief couldn't help but exude a sense of proud confidence, taking Mu Jinyu back to that glorious era when the Human Race stood proudly above all the Ten Thousand Clans, amidst the clang of arms and armor!

Then he smiled and said, "There was once a Human Emperor whose blood was so intense that it would trigger phenomena in the heavens, painting the heavens, rivers, and mountains blood-red, known as 'Blood-Colored Mirroring Rivers and Mountains'!"

"During your previous bloodline test, wasn't that phenomenon similar to the past Human Emperor Phenomenon?"

"Thus, the Sect Master of Qinghe Sect said that, in ancient times, your talent might have genuinely manifested, but in this era, it's difficult to find a path to rise!"

After a pause, the Old Village Chief sighed deeply, then said: "And why is it said that in this era, it's hard to find a path for your rise? And why has our Human Race fallen from the Ten Great Strong Races to where Pureblooded Humans are nearly impossible to find, degraded to the bottom of the Ten Thousand Clans in the Canglan Realm, where many previously weak species can now trample on our pride?"

The Old Village Chief didn't withhold the answers and started addressing them one by one: "Because in ancient times, the Human Race was too powerful, almost oppressing other species to the point they couldn't lift their heads, making the Divine Race slaves, Devil Race servants, Immortal Clan maids, and Demon Race pets..."

"At that time, the Human Race was truly powerful and glorious, ascending to the top of the Ten Thousand Clans, but eventually drew resistance and opposition from the Ten Thousand Clans. Subsequently, an unprecedented turmoil unfolded, affecting the entire Canglan Realm and the Ten Thousand Clans. All Nine Great Human Emperors took action, with endless blood and tears, finally quelling the chaos, nearly shattering the Canglan Realm, truly a blood-soaked landscape withered by the Ten Thousand Clans!"

"After that battle, the Nine Great Human Emperors successively passed away, and it seemed even the Heavenly Dao was jealous of our Human Race's brilliance. Since then, the Human Race began to decline gradually, causing the Canglan Realm, once rich in Spiritual Energy and Elemental Qi, to slowly deplete and become extremely thin!"

"The cultivation environment in the Canglan Realm started to unfavorably suit our Human Race, and the air was filled only with the Origin Qi of other Powerful Races, such as Divine Qi, Buddhist Qi, Demonic Qi, Demon Qi, and Ghost Qi!"

At this point, the Old Village Chief wore a heavy look of sorrow and sighed, "At that time, although the Nine Great Human Emperors had all passed, the Human Race's supreme experts still existed, so it wasn't a complete generational cut. The Human Race's supreme experts began making efforts to remedy the situation, creating cultivation methods such as the 'Armament Martial Scripture' and 'Humanity Path Sutra'...hoping to pave a new path focusing on weaponry and the human body!"

"But the final result was still less than satisfactory. Cultivating these human-centered methods usually hit a barrier halfway, unlike the original Spiritual Qi Cultivation Method, which could be pursued to the end!"

Listening to the Old Village Chief's accounts, Mu Jinyu's expression subtly changed.

Armament Martial Scripture!

Indeed, the 'Sword Scroll' I found in Mount Tai did come from the Canglan Realm!

Then, the overlapping space of Mount Tai back then, that field of skeletal remains, should be cruel evidence of that great reckoning battle, right?

The Old Village Chief, unaware of Mu Jinyu's thoughts, continued recounting that cruel and arduous period for the Human Race, saying, "Afterward, another Human Race supreme expert tried various ways to acquire cultivation methods from other powerful races, hoping to cultivate with their methods, absorbing the scattered Divine Qi, Demon Qi, etc., to strengthen oneself!"

"However, the effect was not good. It seems that without Divine Race blood or Demon Race blood, it is impossible to cultivate their methods or absorb the Origin Qi suitable for their cultivation from the world, so..."

After pausing, the Old Village Chief said helplessly, "Next, a Human Race supreme expert made grand moves by capturing hundreds of powerful figures from the Ten Great Strong Races, extracting their Essence Blood, and forcibly transplanting it into some voluntary Human Race supreme experts' bodies, to attempt changing bloodlines and seeing if they could cultivate?"
