On the other side, in the Blood Race plane.
Di Xin, riding a bronze chariot pulled by four King-level dragons, led the Black Bird Army and rampaged across the battlefield.
The Black Bird Army, living up to its reputation as one of Da Shang's most elite units, continuously slaughtered and dismembered the Blood Race warriors.
"Zi Xin, your accumulated destiny is about enough, isn't it?"
Wen Taishi, holding his twin whips and riding the Ink Qilin, approached Di Xin's bronze chariot.
"Teacher, it's almost there. After this battle, I must return to the Ancestral Court of Da Shang to appease the human race's destiny and prepare for my ascension to Human Emperor. What are the ancestors' intentions? When do they plan to annihilate this realm?"
Di Xin politely greeted Wen Taishi upon seeing him.
"Zi Xin, I came to tell you about this. The Ancestors have decreed that after this battle, half of the Blood Race will be slaughtered."
Di Xin was stunned. "What do the ancestors mean? Weren't we supposed to annihilate the entire race? Why only half? Are we keeping the other half for breeding?"
"You've actually hit the nail on the head. The ancestors intend to keep half for breeding."
Seeing Di Xin's bewildered expression, Wen Taishi continued:
"Isn't this all because your son, Zhan'er, insisted that the ancestors spare the Blood Race?"
The more Wen Taishi spoke, the more confused Di Xin became. "What does this have to do with Zhan'er? Besides, he was the one who wanted to annihilate the Blood Race back then. This brat's killing intent is almost catching up to that young fellow Bai Qi."
"Zhan'er found the Hua family boy, and it turns out the Hua family boy has a medicinal formula that can enhance the physical strength of humans below Platinum level, allowing our soldiers to advance faster without any side effects."
"That's great, isn't it? It's rare for Zhan'er to do something so beneficial."
"But the main ingredient of this formula is Blood Essence, which is refined from the Blood Race. Ancestor Yan has brought in another 2000 Shennong clansmen, preparing to refine Blood Essence day and night. Your son Zhan'er's intention is to refine half first. If the effect is good, then keep the remaining Blood Race for now; otherwise, there will be no materials later."
Wen Taishi said with a wry smile.
"Tsk tsk, just now..."
Xuan Shang subconsciously looked up at the sun in the sky, then sighed. His young master was good in every way, except when he slept with his wife, he'd oversleep.
"Zhan'er, I'll take you back to the Ancestral Court of Da Shang. Zi Xin has returned and is about to ascend to Human Emperor. I'll take you to witness the ceremony."
"General, please wait a moment. I'll get ready and come right away." Lin Zhan was jolted by the words and immediately ran towards the house.
At the same time, he took out his communicator and shouted, "Xiao Ming, wake up all the brothers. Prepare to enter the Royal Court quickly."
In a short while, everyone from the Huaxia team, except for the two simple-minded Zhang Haoran and Ying Xuan, had assembled.
Xuan Shang, Tie Lao Si, and Tie Mo, three powerful Human Emperors from the old guard, broke through the void with a group of young men and headed towards the Human Race Royal Court.
Upon entering the Royal Court, the scene before them stunned Lin Zhan. Good heavens, so many people.
There were also some figures dressed in tattered clothes, as if they had crawled out of a grave.
Lin Zhan and his group looked around curiously.
"Big brother, humans, Sacred Beast Clan, Dragon Clan, Immortal Clan, Primordial True Spirit Clan, and the Elves. All the major allies of the human race have arrived. There are over a thousand people, mostly King-level and Clan-Protecting King-level experts. Only a small portion are Quasi-King level elders protecting their clans."
Zhang Haoming, the young Taoist, calculated roughly and said.
"Old Lin, those over 300 humans dressed in tattered clothes should be the ancestors from various generations who just crawled out of the Royal Tombs. Our Huaxia actually has such hidden strength," He Dazhuang said in shock.
"Old He, this is nothing. Huaxia has too many hidden strengths. Just what I've seen already surpasses the strength of these king-level ancestors present by a hundredfold," Lin Zhan quietly instructed everyone.
Slowly, the entire venue fell silent. Di Xin, dressed in a black robe, slowly walked out.
Including Xuan Shang, a total of four figures in Black Bird heavy armor, all veteran Human Emperors, flew into the sky and firmly guarded Di Xin from all four directions.
Lin Zhan's eyes lit up as he looked at the four figures. "Holy crap, when did we have so many Human Emperors hidden? The ancestors are too stingy to only send General Xuan Shang with me."
"Alright, stop acting like you're getting a raw deal. We don't even have Human Emperors in our families, so you should be content."
"Exactly. If all four Human Emperors were sent with you, given your personality, you'd be off looking for trouble with the ten thousand races tomorrow."
"Today, Huaxia Human Race, Di Xin of the Shang Tribe, slays the ten thousand races, protects the human race, nurtures the land, receives the blessing of the human race's destiny, and ascends to Human Emperor. I vow to be a pillar of the human race, defending it for eternity without regret."
Di Xin bowed deeply towards the four directions of the human race and said in a loud voice.
Beside him, Xuan Shang and the other three emerged, each carrying a sacrificial offering.
The Blood Emperor of the Blood Race, the Lion Emperor of the Beastman Race, the King-level Necromancer of the Undead Race, and the King-level Power Demon of the Demon Race.
Shang Tang also emerged, carrying a blonde, blue-eyed human.
"Holy crap, what does this mean, ancestors? Why are they carrying a foreigner out?" Lin Zhan asked Shang Tang, utterly bewildered.
"Can you stop being so ignorant, kid? That's a Western God from the God Race, one of the God Emperors from the ancient lineages dug out from those secret realms you found," the Black Dragon Emperor and the Black Dragon King appeared beside Lin Zhan and said.
"Slaughter the sacrificial offerings, and consecrate the human race's destiny."
As Wen Taishi's voice fell, Shang Tang and the four of Xuan Shang instantly brought down their blades, and four heads rolled far away.
An indescribable yet familiar radiance descended upon Di Xin and everyone present.
"Roar!" Di Xin let out a long roar towards the sky, and his aura began to climb. Countless human phantoms appeared beside Di Xin, performing kowt to him.
A rich radiance once again shone upon Di Xin.
Di Xin let out another long roar: "Today, I, Di Xin of Huaxia, ascend to Human Emperor. From this moment on, I will protect all people, defend the territory, and I will not fail in my responsibilities as Human Emperor."
An aura that surpassed ordinary King-level surged from Di Xin towards the heavens.
The ten thousand races of the heavens were shaken and instantly understood that the human race had another Human Emperor.
