"In the end, hundreds of human race formidable individuals died, and only a few barely survived..."

"However, the ones who survived indeed could utilize the devil race's blood and divine race's blood within them, absorbing the divine and demonic qi originally unsuitable for human race absorption scattered in the world..."

"Thus, the human race went mad, not wanting their realms to regress, not wanting their cultivation to stagnate, they all started desperately trying to extract strong clan bloodlines for themselves or their descendants, so that they could cultivate..."

Mu Jinyu, upon hearing this, realized why pureblooded humans were disregarded, and why humans in the Canglan Realm eventually carried so many other species' bloodlines!

However, Mu Jinyu felt somewhat puzzled in his heart.

He remembered many people proudly saying things like how their ancestors were favored at some point...

This sounded, seemingly not like the bloodline power was forcibly plundered, but rather gave him the impression that they obtained these other species' bloodlines through methods of humiliation?

Before Mu Jinyu could ask this question, the Old Village Chief revealed the answer Mu Jinyu was curious about.

"However, not everyone has powerful ancestors to pave the way for them, helping them plunder strong clan bloodline power, and this could easily provoke the wrath of the ten thousand clans again, so later, some people found ways to form family bonds with other strong clans, hoping to see if the offspring from marriages with divine clans and devil clans would innately possess the bloodline power of those clans?"

"Eventually, it succeeded, and this innate bloodline power, once activated after maturity, was far better than those forcibly transplanted into the human body through brute strength!"

"Thus, humans who originally disdained interracial marriages started a trend of intermarriage with foreign races!"

"At that time, although the human race began to decline due to anomalies caused after the nine great human emperors passed away, human's might was not completely obliterated or broken from generations. The human race could still rank among the top ten, and while not many of the other ten strong races might be willing to intermarry, many species from the top one hundred races were indeed willing!"

At this point, a wave of sorrow surged on the Old Village Chief's wrinkled face like an orange peel, as he sighed, "As time passed slowly, after hundreds or thousands of years, for the sake of cultivation, for being strong, how many pureblooded humans do you think are left among the human race?"

"Naturally, not a lot!"

"Subsequently, as those mighty human supremes and formidable individuals in the human race fell one after another, without any new successors rising within, naturally, humanity also fell from the top ten races to within the top hundred, five hundred, even to the end of the ten thousand clans..."

"After all, their body only contains half of the strong clan bloodline, which itself is not so strong, and how could they possibly become as mighty as those strong clans after obtaining the bloodline?"

"Henceforth, not to mention those strong clans like the divine race still ranked among the top ten, who disdain intermarriage with humans, even species from the top one hundred and five hundred strong races disdained intermarriage with the human race!"

"Meanwhile, among the families within the human race who once intermarried with divine clans, devil clans, immortal clans, demons, and other strong clans, they naturally took pride in the divine and devil blood within them, claiming to be the royal clan within humans!"

"They disdain further intermarriage with other humans, circulating their bloodline power internally, maintaining the purity of their royal clan's strong clan bloodline power so it doesn't become diluted!"

"Then, every once in a while, they would select the most beautiful and outstanding girls from their family, sending them as maids to the divine clans and devil clans, hoping they could receive divine favor, giving birth to offspring bearing strong clan bloodlines again, enriching their royal clan with more divine blood!"

"And other small families, unable to have divine or devil clans favor them, would seek out top hundred races or even those within the top five hundred, sending their best women as maids to enhance the strength within their families!"

The Old Village Chief ended his explanation, tears streaming down as he turned to look at Mu Jinyu, his cloudy old eyes watching him, carrying a sense of relief and complexity in his expression, he declared, "Do you think there are still plenty of pureblood humans within the human race? Certainly not, and most people indeed feel ashamed of being pureblooded humans, taking pride in having strong clan bloodlines!"

"I see, I understand now..."

After hearing the Old Village Chief's narrative, Mu Jinyu comprehended this humiliating history of the human race and the subsequent willingness of humans to become vassals to other species for the sake of strength!

However, after listening to it, he felt deeply conflicted, finding himself utterly incapable of accepting such reasons!

The human race once was among the top ten strong races, even at one point was the leader among the ten thousand clans, suffocating all others, why did they begin to degenerate after the world changed and spiritual energy became scarce?

From being forced to plunder other races' bloodlines for cultivation, to later willingly intermarrying with other races to better adapt, and now voluntarily offering excellent women as maids to other races seeking favor, their bottom line was trampled repeatedly, is this really for the survival and strength of the human race?!

There once were human supremes who created humano-centric cultivation techniques, like the "Armament Martial Scripture," "Humanity Path Sutra," and other humanity path cultivation methods, albeit imperfect, prone to failing halfway, far less safe compared to other cultivation paths and bloodline paths!

But the nine great human emperors of the Canglan Realm, was their power and rise truly smooth sailing, without having encountered any danger?

Compared to cultivating with bloodline power to become stronger, Mu Jinyu would rather take the humano-centric cultivation path!

No matter the immense danger this path brings, potentially reducing him to shattered pieces at any time!

At this moment, Mu Jinyu suddenly loathed the Azure Dragon Bloodline flowing within him originally, and the Dragon Bloodline transformed afterward by Silkworm King's help!

Though these bloodline powers had helped him many times, saving his life numerous times!

Yet upon understanding the humiliating history of humans in the Canglan Realm, Mu Jinyu felt disgusted by the foreign race blood circulating inside him!

He wished he could be an ordinary person!

A pureblood human!

Thankfully...

Mu Jinyu was quite relieved at the moment when Yin Li extracted the divine dragon blood from his body!

Otherwise, if his body still retained divine dragon blood, after understanding these humiliating histories, he would certainly seek ways to eliminate all traces of foreign race blood within him!

No matter if this foreign race blood was the nearly extinct divine dragon blood worldwide!

The true divine blood desired by divine clans and immortal clans alike!

But now, he no longer needed it!

Because now he only wants to be a person!

A pure person!

Straightforwardly be a person!

A mortal, can he not tread a path to supreme strength?!

Mu Jinyu refused to believe in impossibilities!
