I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

The first war between humans and gods was the Battle of Zhuolu. Strictly speaking, it cannot be considered a war between humans and gods. At that time, the status of humans and gods was more like that of allies and partners. The Yanhuang tribe defeated the Chiyou tribe.

Specifically, it can also be considered a civil war between humans, but the Yanhuang tribe had the help of many gods, and the result of this war was the origin of many future wars between humans and gods, so the war between humans and gods can be counted from here.

In this battle, it's impossible to say whether humans or gods will win or lose.

The second war between humans and gods was when Zhuanxu severed the connection between heaven and earth. After the first war, humans and gods lived together, which caused many problems. So Zhuanxu drove the gods and humans to the heavenly realm and severed the connection between heaven and humans. This was called severing the connection between heaven and earth.

It's hard to say who won or lost in this battle.

The immortals did not lose; they simply returned to the celestial realm, where the spiritual energy is even purer.

The human realm wasn't exactly defeated either. After this battle, it won't be easy for immortals and gods to come to the human realm, and their strength will be greatly suppressed once they do.

The third battle was Yu the Great's flood control efforts.

Although immortals in the heavens cannot descend to the mortal realm, they are not without means to influence the human world. They control the wind and clouds, causing calamities to befall the human world, and they also secretly send some immortals down to the mortal realm to stir up trouble and try to intimidate the human world with floods.

However, Yu the Great appeared out of nowhere, slaying the dragon and controlling the floods. This battle was a great victory for humanity.

Until the fourth war launched by the Celestial Realm, this time they were much smarter. After witnessing the terrifying power of humanity united, they came up with an excellent solution.

That is to use humans to defeat humans.

They made thorough preparations for this battle. First, they spread their teachings in the mortal realm, leaving behind a lineage of Daoist doctrines. Then, they used the conflict over these lineages to stir up a civil war among the human race. Next, immortals and gods continuously entered the fray, making it seem as if both sides were engaged in a fierce battle. In reality, it was all a self-directed and self-acted performance by the immortal realm.

Of course, the actors were unaware of this and were all fighting enthusiastically.

Among them are many geniuses.

This battle was also the most brutal battle between the human world and the immortal realm. The human world suffered a great defeat, its vitality was severely damaged, and it even attracted the demon realm.

The fifth war between humans and gods was pretty much a foregone conclusion.

Having suffered a major defeat, the human world had little resources left, so the human leaders of that battle did not have much room to maneuver.

In fact, Qin was the one supported by the Immortal Realm in that war. They originally hoped that Qin would sweep across the six kingdoms and then let the Immortal Realm easily reap the rewards. Who knew that the Qin Emperor would betray them at the crucial moment.

Learning from the previous lesson, first kill the sorcerers and destroy the Taoist tradition, then gather the military energy of the mortal world, and use mortal bodies to carry out the act of attacking Heaven.

Unfortunately, this battle was a desperate struggle.

The Immortal Realm, having been terrified by the Fourth War, did not underestimate their enemy and went all out.

The only chance for the Qin Emperor was to go to sea to find the ancestral dragon's scales. He had a treasure called the Dragon-Seeking Jade Pendant, which could guide him to find the dragon scales.

However, he was unable to extricate himself from the battle here, so he could only send his trusted confidant Xu Fu to sea under the pretext of searching for the elixir of immortality. As a result, Xu Fu, who was entrusted with this important task, was bribed by the immortals. In order to ensure that his family could become immortals for generations, he took the treasure and hid away, thus squandering the last chance for the human world.

The fifth war between humans and gods ended abruptly, with humanity suffering a complete defeat.

The little grass was stunned for a long time after hearing these stories.

After she became Lin Yi's student, Lin Yi initially only taught her to read. Lin Yi loved history books the most, so that was what he taught her first.

Xiaocao has heard some of the historical stories and myths.

It was only after the giant snake told these stories from a different perspective that the little grass discovered there was more to the story.

"Will I also lead the human world and the immortal realm in battle?"

The little grass doesn't have that confidence yet.

The giant snake shook its head and said, "You can still refuse now, and someone in the human world will do this for you."

"Then who will replace me?"

"I don't know about that. In short, they should be capable, persistent, persevering, courageous, kind-hearted, and firmly committed to their human race."

Little Grass: "..."

Every time the big snake mentioned something, the little grass would think of Lin Yi.

Lin Yi perfectly meets all these conditions, doesn't he?

Lin Yi is highly capable, there's no doubt about that. His perseverance, determination, and kindness are qualities that Xiao Cao has experienced firsthand.

Humanity's stance is unwavering; they never hesitate to slay demons and monsters.

I don't know why God chose her, but if she doesn't accept it, will Lin Yi be next?

"This road must be very difficult to travel, right? And if we are defeated, the consequences will be severe, won't they?"

The little grass asked very seriously.

The giant snake couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

She is fine, but fear is only human nature. After all, given the current situation, taking this do-or-die path is extremely difficult.

But the great serpent did not deceive the little grass. It answered seriously, "The path of the guardian is indeed difficult. After several defeats, the human world has become increasingly decadent. This desperate battle may just be a last-ditch struggle."

And if it fails...

The Shang king was dismembered, his bones and blood used to forge weapons, and even demons devoured him. His soul vanished into thin air, and his true spirit disappeared without a trace.

The Qin Emperor and his loyal confidants were all enshrined in a mausoleum.

It gives two examples illustrating the consequences for those who rebel against the celestial realm.

Upon hearing this answer, the little grass firmly replied, "I accept this mission!"

Chapter 513 The Bad Fox

The giant snake didn't know why Xiaocao made this decision, but seeing her resolute eyes, it knew that Xiaocao was not joking.

After a long silence, all it could say in the end was one sentence.

"Good luck."

After saying that, a stone radiating multicolored light floated towards the grass, looking dazzling and beautiful.

What is this?

The little grass couldn't help but ask curiously.

The serpent's voice suddenly echoed in her mind: "After you leave here, remember that whatever you say will be heard by someone."

Even the Heavenly Dao cannot know your innermost thoughts. Therefore, some secrets can only remain buried within you.

Just like this stone, it is the key to the Heavenly Treasury, and also the core of sealing and destroying it. Once the methods within the Heavenly Treasury are activated, any immortal or god will only face certain death, and this is your only hope of victory.

"I've given you the keys; the rest of the journey is up to you."

The colorful stone landed in the little grass's hand and vanished instantly, while a colorful stone appeared deep within the little grass's mind.

The little grass could sense that as long as it had the thought, it could take the stone out.

However, this is a very important matter, so it's best not to reveal it.

"Your friend is about to awaken. She will be your steadfast partner. The path to conquering the heavens is extremely arduous. If you have more companions, your journey will be much easier."

The serpent's voice became much more ethereal, and ripples began to appear in the cave, as if they were merely reflections in the water.

Xiao Cao quickly came to Wang Jinxuan's side and helped her up, watching as the cave gradually disappeared from sight.

When Wang Jinxuan opened his eyes, all he saw was a constantly flowing river; the giant snake and the secret realm were gone.

Only the soft, adorable little grasses remained standing beside her.

"You're awake? We should go home."

Wang Jinxuan: "..."

I always feel that the grass has changed a lot after I wake up.

"Hey, why did you turn back again?"

Wang Jinxuan was still a bit dazed, but she felt that the grass had become even tenderer. She looked down and thought, "Hey, I've won this round!"

Wang Jinxuan suddenly realized and exclaimed in surprise, "You've turned back to your old self?"

Little Grass nodded, though she herself seemed a little unhappy.

Although she will grow up in a few more years, she hopes to grow up faster.

Fortunately, although her body shrank, her cultivation level, which had increased in the secret realm, did not revert to its previous state, including the Xuanming Body Refining Technique, which required persistent training.

"Where is Senior Orochi?"

Wang Jinxuan had thought he could ask a few more questions, but Xiaocao shook her head. When the secret realm dissipated, the snake's voice was already very faint. After the secret realm disappeared, the snake also vanished.

It was as if there had never been a snake here.

No wonder searching for local folk tales was useless; this snake definitely wasn't a local one!

"Let's go home first."

Wang Jinxuan felt that Xiaocao's tone had changed significantly, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.

Perhaps this is the result of ten years of training in the secret realm!

Little did she know that in the time it took her to sleep, the little grass would become a guardian of humanity.

Just as Xiaocao and Wang Jinxuan returned to camp, Lin Yi was flying overhead on his sword, carrying Su Xian'er and Jueying.

He was moving very fast and didn't expect his two disciples to be below him, but as he passed by, he vaguely sensed a demonic aura.

The demonic aura was faint, yet Lin Yi sensed a hint of danger within it.

This feeling startled him as well.

With such high cultivation, he should be invincible and only waiting for enemies to come from heaven. How could he still feel the threat of demons in the human world?

Could that be the number one on the Demon Ranking?

As of now, Lin Yi has not unlocked the information for the number one spot on the Demon Ranking, and he has not paid much attention to it.

He no longer took human enemies seriously, but the sudden, fleeting glimpse of demonic energy truly brought Lin Yi to his senses.

Don't get cocky, or you'll get hurt.

He didn't dare to explore the source of that wisp of demonic energy and slipped away without looking back.

If you can already sense the danger, wouldn't going there be suicide?

It's not too late to come back and explore when you've accumulated enough experience; that's the right approach to leveling up by fighting monsters.

As Lin Yi rode away on his sword, the giant snake, which had already swum to the Yangtze River, glanced at the horizon.
