I'm only one year old, what the hell is the counterattack system?

Chapter 407 Congratulations, Eighth Ancestor of the Human Race!

Three days of revelry.

Human cities gradually returned to their former peace.

The generals continued to take turns guarding the city, and the soldiers, following the previous duty roster, held their posts on the city walls in turn.

The scouts were able to go out.

However, compared to before the great battle, after the scouts carefully explored five thousand miles, they found that they had not found a single demon, let alone a single hair of them.

Until the depths of a dense forest five thousand miles away.

Only then did the scouts in each city discover the demon's whereabouts.

A row of ten-zhang-tall wooden demons stood facing the human city.

"The Demon Emperor of Wind and Moon has decreed that the area within five thousand miles outside the human city is a forbidden zone of the Demon Court. We will only establish the Demon Court's defense line within five thousand miles."

"You may report this matter to the human race's ancestor. I urge you to act cautiously and refrain from any provocative actions that could lead to your deaths!"

Upon hearing this, the group of cautious and discreet scouts emerged, exchanged glances, and were momentarily at a loss for what to do.

A moment of silence.

A scout captain, a powerful cultivator at the Divine Power Realm, clasped his hands in salute and said:

"In that case, we will report to the General and the Ancestor."

"If the Demon Court can abide by its duties, we humans will naturally be happy to see peaceful coexistence with the Demon Court."

There wasn't a single demon within the five-thousand-mile defensive line outside the human city.

This is equivalent to the human race gaining an extra 5,000 li of territory for free. They can not only move freely within this area, but also build cities, fortresses, and city walls.

This is of paramount importance to the human race.

If we add the thousands of miles of territory north of the Demon Court, the combined benefits of this battle far exceeded everyone's expectations.

It is likely that even the achievements of General Chen Yi, the Old Ancestor of Baishan, and others, which were previously praised during the celebrations, will be multiplied several times over.

This was not part of the previous agreement between the human race and the demon court; it was the demon court's own decision.

Or rather, it was the Demon Kings of the Demon Court, such as the Wind and Moon Demon Emperor and the Deer King, who made a voluntary concession out of fear of the strength of the human race.

"Seriously, such a thing exists."

"It's even more unbelievable than the previous victory of the human race in the great war... no, it's just as unbelievable."

"Things are getting better, hahaha... After thousands of years, our human race has finally stood up in the fight against the demon court!"

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

Upon receiving the news, the 10,000-strong human scout battalion immediately retreated a hundred miles.

Then, defenses were deployed layer by layer at intervals of ten miles, until the last hundred soldiers returned to their respective cities to report the news.

This naturally caused a sensation in the cities once again.

However, having just experienced a great victory and celebration, the people of each city were equally happy, but only treated it as a topic of conversation.

Do what you have to do.

Soldiers guarded the city, cultivators began their daily practice, and there were more people with free time than usual, but they still maintained their restraint.

Habits formed over thousands of years of oppression by the demon court cannot be changed overnight.

Even ordinary people living in the inner city who lack cultivation talent or have low cultivation levels still maintain necessary vigilance to prevent a major battle from starting at any time.

However, the human race was ultimately pleased to learn that the Demon Court had taken the initiative to back down.

Inside Youdu City.

"To this day, our human race has finally broken through the demon court's blockade!"

Li Qingzhou, unusually, didn't have his usual beaming smile: "I never expected that my disciple, who has only been on the Tai Zhou Mountain battlefield for two months, would accomplish what countless of our predecessors couldn't. Truly..."

Beside him, Xiao Huang stroked his beard and nodded with a smile: "This is something I never expected."

"It feels like just yesterday that he first joined the sect."

Speaking of this, Xiao Huang looked at Li Qingzhou and said, "Don't forget my junior brother, Chen Yi was able to join the Taixu Dao Sect."

He was referring to Gu Tiangang, of course.

Back then, if Gu Tiangang hadn't discovered Chen Yi's talent in swordsmanship and found Emperor Wei to take over the position of instructor at the academy, Li Qingzhou wouldn't have been sent here.

And Ning Xue.

Thinking of these past events, Li Qingzhou said with emotion, "I have owed Uncle Gu a few drinks. When I return to Tianyuan Continent this time, I will go and find him for a get-together."

"You owe more than just Lao Gu."

Yue Ruifeng looked at him with disdain: "All these years, your mind has been on the battlefield of Taizhou Mountain. The words of the White Mountain Ancestor are more effective than those of Sect Master Xiao. Tell me, how much time have you spent teaching your disciples all these years?"

"Leaving aside others, what about Chen Yi?"

Li Qingzhou immediately gave a wry smile, bowed deeply, and begged for forgiveness, saying, "Uncle Yue, please forgive me. I feel ashamed."

Not only Chen Yi, but he also didn't give much instruction to Zhan Hongxiu, Lü Cheng and others.

Their current achievements are mostly due to their own hard work.

Xiao Huang raised his hand to help him out, saying, "Old Yue, there are two sides to every story. If Qingzhou hadn't let go so easily, Chen Yi might not have achieved what he has today."

Yue Ruifeng's expression shifted slightly, then he burst into laughter: "The sect leader is right. If Qingzhou teaches too much, he might even mislead the students..."

"That's not what I meant."

"Then you are..."

Hearing their teasing, Li Qingzhou was naturally not annoyed, but he couldn't help feeling a bit sentimental.

I feel sorry for the disciples of Jianfeng Mountain and for the current state of the human race.

All things considered, he will likely focus more on Jianfeng Mountain in the future.

Previously, his grandmaster Xuanjian had reprimanded him, and today his uncles Yue and Xiao were also teasing him. It's not hard to see how much influence he had on many disciples when he was on the battlefield of Taizhou Mountain.

Even if Chen Yi and his companions didn't say anything, others who saw it all never sided with him.

Thinking of this, Li Qingzhou had no choice but to beg for mercy again: "I hope that my senior uncles and elder brothers will bear witness that I will definitely teach my disciples with all my heart in the future."

Xiao Huang, Yue Ruifeng, and the others stopped talking and nodded with satisfaction.

"Now that the crisis of the human race has been resolved, everything is in need of rebuilding. Both the Tianyuan Continent and the Taizhou Mountain battlefield will undergo some changes."

"In such a changing world, we, the Taixu Dao Sect, must naturally keep pace with the times and strive to make our sect even stronger."

Xiao Huang said solemnly, "Previously, there was a change in Buddhism on the Tianyuan Continent. Emperor Wei and the court officials have already carried out a large-scale purge of Buddhist temples and monasteries in various prefectures, creating a situation where Confucianism and Taoism are vying for supremacy."

"But after this great battle, Patriarch Foyin also performed outstandingly, and clearly does not intend to give up."

"Our position in the Daoist sect is not secure. In the future, we must not only consolidate it, but also strive to go further and become the backbone of the human race."

Yue Ruifeng nodded and added, "In the future, we humans will be able to explore various realms of Taizhou Mountain, and everyone will have the opportunity to improve our cultivation and supernatural abilities."

"At that time, we will not only compete with the various sects, Confucianism and Taoism of Tianyuan Continent, but also broaden our horizons to see this world and compete with the various realms and sects of Taizhou Mountain."

"Sect Master is likely to be quite busy from now on."

Xiao Huang smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "In the future, I will have to rely more on my senior brothers, junior brothers, and junior nephews."

Li Qingzhou looked at the people present and said solemnly, "This is a change of fortune, but it is also our destiny. Fortunately, Chen Yi made contact with Daoist Zhao of Xunwangtian in Taizhou Mountain, which enabled our Taixu Dao Sect to seize the initiative in this change of fortune."

"That's true..."

The elders of the Taixu Dao Sect were chatting when their gazes involuntarily drifted toward Chen Yi and the others. Sensing their laughter and conversation, smiles appeared on their faces.

Just as they were about to continue discussing the future development of the Taixu Dao Sect, they heard the voice of the White Mountain Ancestor coming from within the Sky Dome City:
"Everything is pending. I request that the generals of all cities come to Sky City as soon as possible!"

"Everything is pending. I request that the generals of all cities come to Sky City as soon as possible!"

"Everything is pending. I request that the generals of all cities come to Sky City as soon as possible!"

Three voices rang out in succession, immediately causing the soldiers in each city to erupt in excitement.

After the great battle, it was natural to reward those who had contributed.

Even during the earlier celebrations, some people were already discussing the performance of Chen Yi, Bai Shan, and others in the subsequent battle.

Many people are saying that "Chen Yi's achievements are worthy of being called the ancestor of the human race".

Most people agree with this kind of opinion, although a small number of people think Chen Yi is too young.

Even with his outstanding performance in this great battle, it's unlikely he can replace Daoist Ziying's position. Now, the White Mountain Ancestor has summoned all the generals, pillars of the human race, and ancestors to Tianqiong City for a meeting, naturally attracting everyone's attention.

"After waiting for several days, the elders finally summoned the powerful figures to go there."

"I wonder if General Chen Yi will become the ancestor of my human race today. I am looking forward to it."

"I reckon it'll be difficult."

"Even though General Chen Yi made outstanding contributions in the previous battle, his current cultivation level is still somewhat inferior to that of the other ancestors."

"Even with the help of the Azure Dragon Divine Beast, it will still take him some time to reach the level of supernatural powers of the ancestors."

"Furthermore, becoming an ancestor is not just about cultivation level and achievements; it also requires the consent of several other ancestors. If even one of them disagrees, General Chen Yi cannot become an ancestor."

"However, even if he cannot be granted the title of Ancestor today, he will have a great chance in the future."

“What this gentleman said is all correct, but you’re missing one thing.”

"what?"

"You've forgotten, nowadays General Chen Yi isn't just backed by the Taixu Dao Sect and the Daoist community, but also by that person on Mount Taizhou."

"Forehead……"

It was only then that everyone remembered that Chen Yi was now in contact with a powerful expert with astonishing cultivation on Mount Taizhou.

And it's not just ordinary contact, but the kind where you can get his help anytime.

This is evident from the previous major battles.

Both of those divine powers and divine intentions were key to victory in that battle.

"So to say……"

Amidst the discussion.

Chen Yi bid farewell to Ning Xue, Zhan Hongxiu, and others, and then joined his master Li Qingzhou, Xiao Huang, and Yue Ruifeng, before heading to Sky City together.

Only now did he realize that there were quite a few powerful figures from various sects on Mount Taizhou, numbering around thirty.

Normally, nearly half of the people are in seclusion.

Even the powerful figure from Jianfeng Mountain—Li Qingzhou's junior brother, Daoist Sun Huai—only then showed up.

"This must be my nephew Chen Yi, who resolved the crisis for my human race?"

Sun Huai looked at Chen Yi and asked Li Qingzhou with a cold expression.

Li Qingzhou glanced at him and nodded slightly: "Junior brother, you're asking a question you already know the answer to."

Sun Huai scoffed, "I am focused on the sword path and am indeed not as concerned about the life and death of the human race as my senior brother."

He paused, his eyes never leaving Chen Yi, and casually said:

“Nephew, don’t follow your master’s example. He’s so blindly loyal that he even chooses the Demon Subduing Technique, which is designed to target demons. He’s wasting his talent in swordsmanship.”

Chen Yi glanced at the expressions of the two men, then at the indifferent faces of the others present, and understood what was going on.

He simply smiled and addressed them as "Uncle-Master," then paid no attention to their conversation.

He had previously heard about the temperament of this Uncle Sun Huai from Yue Ruifeng and Chang Sheng, and knew that he was the head of Jianfeng Mountain in Taizhou Mountain.

Li Qingzhou shook his head helplessly, "Today, the Ancestor has summoned us here. This is a major event for our human race. I hope you will say less, Junior Brother."

"I know, I know……"

Xiao Huang was naturally aware of the "grudges" between the two fellow disciples. After offering a few words of advice, he looked at Chen Yi:
"Do you know what the White Mountain Ancestor wants to discuss today?"

Chen Yi shook his head and said with a smile, "It should still be about the arrangements for the human race."

In the past few days, he naturally heard some rumors.

To become the ancestor of the human race, or to erect a monument or something similar.

But now his ambitions lie elsewhere; whether or not he can become the ancestor of the human race is not important.

"Then we'll listen to it when the time comes."

It only took half a day.

Generals above the Divine Power Realm from various cities gathered in Sky City.

The presence of tens of thousands of powerful individuals caused the General's Mansion, where the White Mountain Ancestor resided, to be overcrowded.

Fortunately, everyone present was a powerful being, so they were not bound by the venue. According to their cultivation levels, they formed a circle and flew into the sky one after another.

The elders sat high in the sky, above everyone else, and were the center of attention.

The other dozen or so pillars of the human race reside below the ancestor.

Then they are arranged in order of cultivation level and supernatural power realm.

Tens of thousands of powerful figures gathered together, all of whom are the backbone of the human race today. Even without saying a word, their imposing presence spoke volumes.

Chen Yi sat with Daoist Zeyang, Shen Xueying, and other pillars of the human race, his eyes looking down.

At first glance, the scene is nothing short of spectacular.

My mind was inevitably shaken.

During this time, Master Zeyang and others were grateful to him and sent him messages.

Chen Yi replied to each question, thus clearing up the influence of Daoist Ziying's Divine Hai Yuan Magnetic Array.

During their casual conversation, everyone noticed that there was a chair next to the seven elders, including Bai Shan and Hong Tian.

For a moment, their gazes all fell on Chen Yi, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Now that Master Ziying is dead, only seven elders remain, yet they have prepared an eighth chair…

Just then, the White Mountain Ancestor, who was high in the sky, slightly raised his hand, signaling everyone to quiet down.

Then he nodded to the elders beside him and said:

"I have gathered you all here today to discuss a few things, and to make sure that our human race can move forward more smoothly."

"Before we begin, I have something to announce..."

Chen Yi looked up slightly, meeting the gaze of the White Mountain Ancestor, and already had a premonition in his heart.

Then, the White Mountain Ancestor's expression turned serious, and he said in a solemn tone:

"Today we celebrate for our human race—Chen Yi of the human race shall be our ancestor!"

The Second Master, Hong Tian, ​​and several other elders beside him looked at Chen Yi and spoke:
"Today we celebrate for our human race—Chen Yi of the human race shall be our ancestor!"

"Today we celebrate for our human race—Chen Yi of the human race shall be our ancestor!"

"..."

Seven voices echoed from Sky City in succession, spreading in all directions.

The locations of the various human cities could be clearly heard, and they all fell silent instantly.

A moment of silence.

The gazes of Old Ancestor Baishan and the others all fell on Chen Yi, and they stood up with smiles:

"please!"

Chen Yi tilted his head slightly, glanced at them, and then his eyes swept over the powerful figures around him, a smile appearing on his face:

"it is good."

As he spoke, he stood up and started walking.

The next moment, Chen Yi stood beside the elders, level with them, his eyes subconsciously looking at the crowd below.

I can't help but feel excited.

At this moment, inside the General's Mansion in Sky Dome City, many powerful figures looked at Chen Yi from afar and bowed in unison:

"Congratulations, Ancestor Chen Yi!"

The sound echoed in all directions.

In an instant, the humans in the various cities who heard the sound also shouted in unison:

"Congratulations, Ancestor Chen Yi!"
