"I am Gu Qing, a descendant of the Gu family. In the late ancient era, the Invincible families declined. Later, the world underwent great changes, and we, the descendants of the invincible, slumbered together in Gu Village."
Among the eight Emperor-level powerhouses of the Invincible descendants, Gu Qing possessed the strongest strength, subtly approaching the Overlord level.
"The people of Gu Village are all descendants of the invincible. Hand these people over to us, and the elders in the village will guide them in cultivating their invincible bloodlines, enabling them to protect themselves in this chaotic world."
"Very well, perhaps only Gu Village is suitable for them."
Dao Xuan spoke, his gaze somewhat dim. In the early ancient era, the eight Invincible families were once dominant, and even the Daoist sect had to avoid their sharp edge.
However, by the late ancient era, it seemed as if someone had deliberately targeted the Invincible families, leading to the destruction of several of them and heavy losses for the rest.
"Thank you!" Gu Qing said, his face full of gratitude.
"Senior Gu Qing, does your Gu Village know anything about the Heavenly family? The decline of the Invincible families in the late ancient era, could it be related to the Heavenly family?"
Someone asked. Gu Qing had previously spoken about the origins of the Heavenly family's ancestors, astonishing everyone. After all, some of them had almost believed Tian Min’s words earlier, considering that few present understood anything about events older than the ancient era.
"Alas, the Heavenly family." Gu Qing shook his head, harboring both resentment and helplessness in his heart. He began to speak.
"Before the ancient era, the ancestor of the Heavenly family, Qiong, was actually a guardian of the human race and had made great contributions."
The crowd was slightly surprised. The ancestor of the Heavenly family was also a guardian of the human race? How could this be possible? If he was a guardian of the human race, why did things turn out this way?
Despite their doubts, no one interrupted Gu Qing. They continued to listen to his account. Although the Emperor-level cultivators present were all from the ancient era, they only had fragmented rumors about the period before it, with no clear understanding of what it was like.
"At that time, the human race had no invincible beings. The strongest were only at the peak of the Heavenly level. Before the ancient era, the world was dominated by primeval beasts, which are now the demon race, and humans were food for the demon race."
"The demon race back then was far more powerful than the current one. Races like the Dragon, Phoenix, Taotie, and Hou, many of which are legends in the ancient era, actually existed. They were the royal families among the demon race."
"And each royal family had an invincible powerhouse. It can be said that at that time, the human race did not even have the strength to resist, and the demon race did not even consider the human race as an opponent."
Many people in the audience were inwardly shocked, their faces filled with awe. In the ancient times, the human race and the demon race were evenly matched in strength, perhaps even slightly stronger than the demon race.
Therefore, they found it utterly incomprehensible that before the ancient era, the human race was not even qualified to be an opponent of the demon race.
"Senior, if the demon race back then was so powerful, how did they eventually decline? Why did those legendary races disappear completely by the ancient era? Only strong tribes like the Flood Dragon and Peacock remained?"
Someone couldn't help but ask, their face filled with surprise. It was hard to imagine that those legendary races would vanish without a trace by the ancient era.
"Them? Heh heh, the demon race at that time was the protagonist of heaven and earth. Unfortunately, the demonic nature of the demon race was ferocious and warlike. Although they were all part of the demon race, before the ancient era, they did not consider themselves to be one race."
"Major wars frequently broke out between those legendary races, sometimes involving clashes between invincible demon beasts, shaking heaven and earth."
"Later, the conflicts escalated, and all the major races within the demon race participated. They fought for thousands of years, leading to the extinction of countless species."
"And it was precisely because of their self-destruction that the human race gained an opportunity to rise."
"By the time the human race gave birth to its first invincible being, Yuan, the demon race only then reacted and began to suppress the human race. However, their intentions were also varied, as they sought to use the human race to weaken their opponents."
