Sage of Humanity

"Someone else will take action." Fei Lian spoke slowly, clearly having a plan.

The Insect Matriarch hesitated, "Dao Fusion cultivators generally have their duties; where do you plan to draw from?"

The human race has acquired the giant ant; no matter the compatibility, utilizing the power of the giant ant could wield the force of over ten Daos. To reclaim the Dao artifact from such hands, a Dao Fusion cultivator must act.

However, all Dao Fusion cultivators, regardless of enemy or ally, have their own responsibilities, so drawing from any side is not an easy task.

Fei Lian smiled slightly, "No need to draw; I just received information that our race recently produced some new Dao Fusion cultivators who have not been seen yet. They will act in secret to find that person's whereabouts."

The Insect Matriarch understood, "This is truly good news."

An unnoticed Dao Fusion cultivator is undoubtedly suitable for acting as a dark pawn.

"When to act?" the Insect Matriarch asked.

Fei Lian replied, "First, we need to calm the current dispute. The commotion this time was so loud that the human race might already be suspicious, so we must wait for a while. When the enemy is relaxed, then strike unexpectedly for a good harvest. If we can seize Blue Water in the meantime..."

Then it would further compress the activity range of the human race.

"As you wish."

The actions of the Insect and Blood Races were swift. With the orders given by the Insect Matriarch, cultivators of the two races orderly retreated from the chaotic area that had been disputed for over two months.

Blue Water Battle Planet, Zi Ying quickly received intelligence.

Unlike the scout cultivator who came to report with a joyful expression, there was a trace of worry between her brows.

At first glance, it seems the human race battle alliance and the Giant Race joined forces to block the frantic offensive of the Insect-Blood Races, barely achieving a victory. But Zi Ying suspected that the human who stirred up the commotion might have already been found by the Insect and Blood Races, and his fate is worrying.

Otherwise, there is no reason for the enemy army to suddenly cease their actions.

Of course, small-scale skirmishes continue, which is the eternal melody of the entire battlefield.

"Is there a problem, sire?" The scout asked cautiously, probing.

Zi Ying slowly shook her head and waved her hand, "It's nothing, you may go."

Actually, she felt a bit annoyed. No matter who that person is or what caused such a disturbance, knowing he was targeted by the Insect and Blood Races, why didn't he come to the Governor's Residence to seek her help?

She was tasked with guarding this place, not only to protect this area from enemy capture, but also to safeguard the lives and safety of the cultivators under her command within her capability.

Over the years, she has done quite well and is renowned in the entire battle zone.

But now, with the retreat of the Insect and Blood Races, the situation of that person remains an eternal mystery.

On a floating land, Lu Ye sat together with two other figures, each healing their wounds.

One was gigantic, standing five zhang high, obviously of the Giant Race, while the other, though humanoid, emanated fierce demon Qi, clearly of the Demon Race.

These two were affiliated with the Giant Race. They had encountered a wave of enemies, and after losing two companions in battle, they were about to be surrounded. At the critical moment, Lu Ye emerged, both saving them and annihilating the enemy.

However, recently Lu Ye had been concealing his strength, only using the power of the 12th Dao against opponents, and even hiding the Boulder Mountain Saber, resulting in occasional injuries.

He inquired about something called stone bugs within the Insect Race, which are extremely elusive, scattered across the battlefield acting as eyes for the Insect Matriarch.

The last time he killed Sharp Claws Blood Race, it must have been witnessed by a stone bug, drawing attention from the Insect Matriarch.

Being unable to confirm if stone bugs were spying nearby, he had to continue hiding his strength.

The injury this time was not severe and would soon recover.

The Demon Race figure spoke, "Fellow Daoist, this battle zone is perilous; why not travel together? If there are spoils, you may take half."

During the recent confrontation, he saw Lu Ye's strength and naturally intended to ally. The human race and Giant Race have been in a cooperative state, so forming a group to fight enemies is not uncommon.

Offering half the spoils to have a powerhouse like Lu Ye accompany them is not only not a loss, but possibly a gain.

The Giant Race member also chimed in, "Yes, Fellow Daoist Li, it's better to join forces than go alone, so everyone can take care of one another."

They had exchanged names earlier, and Lu Ye naturally introduced himself as Li Taibai.

Lu Ye shook his head, "I appreciate the gesture, but I'm accustomed to traveling alone."

Granted, fighting with the power of the 12th Dao is advantageous when partnering, but he isn't limited to the 12th Dao's power. Even if he encounters strong enemies, he could withdraw gracefully. However, if he partners, he can't ignore his companions' life and death, and it may once again attract attention from the Insect Matriarch.

Upon hearing his refusal, both the Demon Race and Giant Race were a bit disappointed but did not further persuade.

Lu Ye continued, "The battle seems to have softened a lot recently, do you guys have any news?"

The Demon Race replied, "Indeed, it has mellowed significantly. Earlier, for unknown reasons, the Insect and Blood Races were very active, but now show signs of ceasing. Ultimately, it's a good thing."

The Giant Race said, "I hear it's because a formidable figure emerged from your human race, causing concern for the Insect Matriarch, leading them to dispatch a grand army for encirclement. Unfortunately, he broke out from the siege, tsk tsk, wonder what kind of person can make the Insect Matriarch so wary?" Turning his gaze to Lu Ye, "Fellow Daoist Li, have you heard of such a person among the human race?"

Lu Ye maintained a calm demeanor, "I just arrived at Banlan not long ago, unfamiliar with the area, so how could I know?"

After a few more casual remarks, Lu Ye finally took his leave.

The fierce battle settled down, and life returned to its previous state. For Lu Ye, operating in this warzone, the difficulty wasn't in killing the enemy but in finding their traces.

Fortunately, over time, he accumulated quite a bit of experience.

Many enemies preferred to lurk on dead stars, desolate planets, or floating lands, waiting like hunters for their prey. Therefore, he rarely wandered in the Void now; he mostly searched on these dead stars and desolate planets, often finding pleasant surprises.

A month later, after refining the Dao Bone in his hand, Lu Ye checked his own Dao force; aside from the reserve he needed to keep, the accumulated Dao force had already surpassed a thousand.

It was time to polish another round of Dao Bones.

He had done this over a dozen times already, so he was quite adept at it. But what frustrated him was that the one-shot success had only occurred once; currently, polishing Dao Bones typically required around a thousand Dao force to succeed.

Thus, each time, he always waited until his Dao force passed the thousand mark to begin.

This time was no exception; amidst repeated failures, the shattered Dao Bone gathered again, becoming more resilient until finally, after nearly exhausting the excess Dao force, the polishing was successful.

Lu Ye gently clenched his fist, activating his Dao force.

He had reached the power of the 26th Dao, with seventeen Dao Bones in his body. Although he was far from his initial goal, he was steadily and confidently progressing along this path.

One had to admit, unintentionally falling into this vibrant stellar space was not a bad thing for him, as it fittingly matched his current cultivation and growth needs.

As for leaving... once he is strong enough, he will naturally be able to dialogue on equal footing with those in Dao Fusion and seek a way to leave.

Just as he was about to stand up, Lu Ye suddenly furrowed his brow.

A hint of warmth emanated from his chest.

He quickly reached into his shirt and took out his authority waist tablet.

In battles at unfamiliar locations, human race cultivators generally kept their authority waist tablets close. Although they could hang it around their waist, doing so would allow the enemy to roughly gauge their strength based on the tablet's color at a glance.

The authority waist tablet was not only a credential for human race cultivators to enter and exit various battle planets and alliance planets but also a means for transmitting messages and making contact.

So far, Lu Ye could only contact Kang Xing and two others.

And when this anomaly occurred with the authority waist tablet, there was only one explanation.

Indeed, as Lu Ye sent his Mental Consciousness into the tablet, a crisp female voice reached his ears: "By the command of Zi Ying, governor of Blue Water Battle Planet, the enemy is attacking the planet, and all cultivators in the warzone are to return to the battle planet at once to collectively fend off the foreign threat; no mistakes permitted!"

Governor's Token!

Kang Xing had explained that those capable of contacting him without the use of contact imprints are only the Dao Fusion Governors of each warzone's battle planet.

Once such a Governor's Token is issued, it leaves no room for refusal or deceit because there will be follow-up inspections; in other words, everyone who receives this command must act according to it.

If anyone is found avoiding the battle, the consequences are extremely severe.

Lu Ye had yet to visit Blue Water Battle Planet, as he had come here to kill enemies and cultivate, but he hadn't expected to have to go to Blue Water in this way.

Since it's an order from the Governor, there's no avoiding it.

Without hesitation, Lu Ye immediately set out from his hiding place, rapidly flying towards Blue Water Battle Planet.

Along the way, he occasionally encountered scattered teams of the human race, each of them tacitly converging together, heading toward Blue Water Battle Planet.

The team steadily expanded, and within half a day or so, the group had grown to dozens of people.

"Enemy traces ahead!" Suddenly, a cultivator among them with eyes shining white exclaimed, looking like someone who had cultivated some Pupil Skill, allowing them to see farther than others.

"What scale?" someone hastily inquired.

"About dozens, roughly the same as us, all heading towards Blue Water Battle Planet, all from the Insect Race."

"Let's fight through!" someone shouted fiercely.

"Unwise, our task is to quickly return to Blue Water. The enemy force is similar to ours; if we engage, the outcome is unpredictable. I suggest we circumvent them."

"Cowardly and timid, how can you accomplish anything? Facing enemies and not killing them, it's unjustifiable!"

"Who are you calling timid?"

"If you have the guts, charge in with me and see who kills more."

"To achieve success, being tactful is crucial!"

The arguments persisted, and the hurriedly gathered group of those Entering the Path were already divided before even reaching Blue Water.

"Enough, everyone shut up!" someone suddenly shouted angrily.

Everyone turned to the sound and saw him, as he spoke, reach into his shirt to take out his authority waist tablet, shaking it in his hand: "I am Yan Hong of the Gold Guard. Are there any other Gold Guards present?"

The dazzling golden authority waist tablet caught everyone's eye, and many showed expressions of envy, silencing the uproar.
