After millions of years in the library, I became an Immortal Emperor.

The northern expedition against the Stone Clan took away a group of powerful figures from Shengjing, and some young geniuses from prominent families also followed the expedition, leaving the entire city of Shengjing somewhat desolate.

Another batch has left.

Inside the Yuwen residence, Yuwen Nanyue watched her brothers leave with their uncles and aunts, then looked at the empty main hall, her eyes filled with sadness.

The war between the Southern Border and the Barbarians took away most of the strongmen of the Yuwen family, and now the Northern Expedition has taken away another group. This family, which has been passed down for thousands of years, is now somewhat desolate.

If the Yuwen family is like this, other aristocratic families are even worse.

Those with high cultivation and talent all went, while only some who lacked talent and had low cultivation stayed in Shengjing, solely for the sake of continuing their family's bloodline.

"Sister Qin Ge, where are you?"

She looked out of the Yuwen residence, her gaze gradually hardening.

This innocent and carefree girl seemed to have grown up at this moment.

Inside the Cloud Pavilion, amidst the lingering strains of the zither, people gazed at the figure in the music room, their eyes brimming with a mix of emotions: desolation, resentment, and unwavering resolve...

"It's just us left."

Someone said this, and it seemed to resonate with many people, who clenched their hands.

They were those who were not very talented and had low cultivation levels, but were left behind for the sake of the family's bloodline inheritance.

"I don't want to live like this anymore. They are all fighting for humanity outside, while we can only cower in this capital for the so-called continuation of the family line."

"I've had enough of this wretched, cowardly life."

"Since they are all gone, it is up to us to support the entire family and the entire Shengjing."

"Before, we lacked talent, but now..."

They looked at that slender figure with unwavering determination.

From that day on, they trained even harder, working day and night. Everyone was determined to uphold the Tang Dynasty and the human race.

Inside the music room, Qin Ge immersed herself in the music, sensing the emotional changes of everyone through her playing. Gradually, her music also began to reflect these emotional fluctuations.

Even in the black and white world of music, there is a touch of emotion.

"Sir, I understand."

She murmured to herself.

Her cultivation level broke through silently, and a smile appeared on her lips.

The path of life is not just about birth and death; there are many things beyond birth and death.

Inside the Star Palace of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yu was surrounded by raging flames as he also underwent arduous cultivation. The more he learned, the more he understood the hardships faced by the human race today.

Indeed, with a master like him, the human race could barely continue.

But as the gentleman said, a ruler should not only think about ensuring the continuation of the human race, but also about how to ensure that the human race can live with dignity in this great world.

This was also the Emperor's long-cherished wish.

He wants to become stronger!

In the courtyard of the library, Lin Fan smiled.

"The seeds that were sown have finally taken root and sprouted."

"Grow up quickly."

He said, and then picked up another book to read.

In the southern part of the Tang Dynasty, in the border region where it clashed with the barbarian tribes, the pervasive stench of blood filled the air, and countless corpses lay strewn across the mountains and plains.

Countless battles have taken place here.

The humans continuously deployed troops here, and so did the barbarians.

It was like a meat grinder, constantly devouring the lives of both sides.

"call!"

As the wind swept across the blood-stained mountain ridge, several figures burst forth from it, their target the human youth who was cultivating with his eyes closed in the mountain hollow.

"Daring to cultivate here? They're practically courting death!"

Five barbarians attacked the human youth from several directions, their giant axes slashing and creating a chilling wind of blood. This ambush and interception had been repeated countless times before.

They were already very skilled at it.

But this time was different from the past. In the past, when they attacked, the prey would notice and show a look of terror on their faces.

But the young man seemed oblivious to them, his eyes still closed, as if he were completely immersed in his cultivation.

How dare they be so arrogant on the battlefield between the two races?

But the next moment they understood.

"Sizzle!"

Just as they approached the human youth by about three feet, a sword's cry suddenly rang in their ears, followed by a bright flash before their eyes.

It was as if lightning had ripped through the night sky, followed by a blinding crimson.

The five barbarians clutched their necks, staring in terror at the young man in the ravine.

"Shentai Realm..."

It turned out that he wasn't being arrogant; he simply didn't take them seriously at all.

"Three hundred and sixty-one."

Qin Ming looked at the five fallen barbarians and said coldly. Then he looked at the increasingly reddening sky and disappeared into the vast night.

It rained, a torrential downpour, relentlessly washing over the entire world, as if trying to cleanse the bloodshed of the battlefield between the two races.

After several large-scale battles, the war between the two races gradually evolved into a game of chess and slaughter.

The border area of ​​about a thousand miles between the two tribes was used as a chessboard. The two tribes kept sending people into this area and then fought each other continuously.

It's a war of attrition, a test of which side can hold out the longest.

for a long time

Five more barbarians arrived in the ravine, their expressions grim as they looked at the barbarian corpses within.

"He got away again."

One of the barbarians said.

What distinguishes barbarians from humans is their much larger stature, averaging nearly two meters in height, along with fangs extending from the corners of their mouths and thick body hair.

They did not possess the level of civilization of humankind; instead, they practiced a totem clan system, worshipped a so-called barbarian sage, and were composed of individual tribes.

"It's still a one-hit kill; he seems even stronger now."

"It's only been a few days."

Another barbarian said, squatting on the ground, feeling the lingering sword intent around him, a solemn expression on his face.

"Your Highness, just in case, let's notify the White Wolf Squad. With Batu there, they're sure to be able to capture and kill him."

He looked up at the last barbarian and said in a deep voice. The other three barbarians also made way for that barbarian to come forward.

Most barbarians are poorly clothed, only simply covering their bodies, exuding wildness, but this barbarian is different; he is wearing a finely tailored animal garment.

He stared at the barbarian corpses on the ground, his face contorted with suppressed rage.

"He's just a human at the first level of the Divine Platform Realm. You four Divine Platform Realm cultivators can't even take him down? By the time the White Wolf Squad arrives, he'll have already escaped."

"This is a genius of the human race; we must not let him go back alive."

"He must be killed!"

He said that, then turned and left.

The four barbarians watched his retreating figure, exchanged glances, and followed him.

"Protect His Highness."

The leader of the barbarians spoke, and the other three barbarians all nodded.

Of course, he still activated the messenger token in his hand, notifying the most powerful barbarian squad in the area, the White Wolf Squad.

The captain of the White Wolf Squad is a powerful barbarian at the Divine Realm, who is a commander of ten thousand men or even an army commander in the barbarian camp.

It should be more than enough to deal with a human at the first level of the Divine Platform Realm.
