Sage of Humanity

Coming into the Giant Race's territory to search for giant ants, Yan Xiaowu knew he shouldn't be too high‑profile, so whenever anyone passed nearby, their group would all lie low and conceal themselves, then resume searching after the people left.

This location was relatively remote; under normal circumstances no one would specifically come here, and if anyone did, it would just be in passing.

But this time the situation was clearly different: Yan Xiaowu clearly sensed that the newcomers were heading straight toward the place where his group was hiding.

Have we been discovered?

Yan Xiaowu's heart clenched, and what made him even more puzzled was that this aura felt somewhat familiar.

"Xiaowu!" A voice suddenly entered his ears.

Yan Xiaowu was startled, then reacted, stepping out from his hiding spot and looking toward the source of the voice. Sure enough, he saw a familiar figure: "Senior Brother Lu? How did you…"

He couldn't figure out how Lu Ye had come all the way over here.

Normally, he and Lu Ye only met inside the relic. He would bring a batch of Dao Bones in to hand over to Lu Ye, and then Lu Ye would mark the exact location of the next giant ant for him.

"Passing by, thought I'd come take a look." Lu Ye answered casually. "Haven't found it yet?"

Yan Xiaowu scratched his head and said with some shame, "Not yet, but it should be soon."

The group he'd brought had scattered across this dead star, carefully searching bit by bit, and by now they'd already covered almost seventy percent of the area.

He believed that after a little more time, they would definitely find it.

"I'll find it." Lu Ye said, then closed his eyes and quietly perceived.

Jiu Ying was dead, so he could no longer rely on Jiu Ying's power to sense the precise location of the giant ants like before, but now that he had refined the Banlan Core, he naturally had conveniences in this stellar space that others didn't.

Although his strength was insufficient to use Insight on all of Banlan, probing just this dead star was very simple.

A moment later, Lu Ye opened his eyes and beckoned: "Come with me!"

Yan Xiaowu hurriedly followed.

Very soon the two arrived at a certain spot. Lu Ye raised a foot and stomped: "Four thousand six hundred feet straight down from here!"

Yan Xiaowu was dumbfounded, unable to understand how Lu Ye could give such an exact number, and this place was indeed one they hadn't had time to explore yet, so the probability of a giant ant being here was very high.

But on second thought, over this period of time Lu Ye had been marking the locations of giant ants on his star map all along, so this Senior Brother Lu clearly had a way to accurately sense the existence of giant ants.

Yan Xiaowu immediately gathered people over and began probing and searching.

In less than one incense stick's time, they indeed found a giant ant buried at a depth of four thousand six hundred feet underground, who knew for how many tens of thousands of years!

Now that the giant ant was found, the next step was to return to the human race's home planet, find a certain aristocratic clan there and exchange it for Dao Bones, then enter the relic to hand them over to Lu Ye. Yan Xiaowu had done this many times already and was very practiced at it.

After bidding farewell to Lu Ye, he led his group toward the nearest Insect Path.

Lu Ye watched them go.

No matter how fast Yan Xiaowu's side moved, he still had to wait a while; they needed time just to travel.

But Lu Ye's need for Dao force was somewhat urgent.

He had to find a battlefield, kill enemies and hunt bones.

Lu Ye suddenly recalled the scene of a certain war zone battle he had previously "seen" inside the relic. He quickly turned his head and looked in that direction; in an instant his sight pierced the obstruction of space, reflecting the situation billions of miles away.

This should be some small war zone; he didn't know exactly which one, as his exploration within Banlan was actually not that extensive.

At a glance, Lu Ye was greatly shocked.

The fierce battle over there had already decided a victor, and it was actually the human side that had lost. Numerous human race cultivators were fleeing in disarray, unable to form a formation, while patch after patch of Blood Seas, large and small, pursued and slaughtered from behind.

At this moment, the situation wasn't yet the worst. Although the human race had suffered a setback, the casualties weren't too heavy, but Lu Ye knew very well that if things continued to develop, the advantage of the Insect and Blood Races would keep expanding. Once the human army's morale collapsed, casualties would increase dramatically.

Lu Ye watched with growing anxiety.

This battlefield was far too distant from where he currently was. Even if he wanted to rush over to support them, there was no way to make it in time. He could only hope that the Dao Fusion Governor over there had follow‑up plans and reinforcements in place.

As he was thinking this, Lu Ye suddenly had a strange feeling: his own mind had anchored itself to the position within his field of vision, and then the spot where he was standing faintly showed signs of overlapping with that anchored location.

The space around him twisted and warped.

Ripples also spread across the anchored position in his sight.

Lu Ye was slightly startled and abruptly snapped out of that strange sensation; all the anomalies around him slowly subsided.

He didn't quite understand what had just happened and hastily immersed his mind to carefully recall and feel it.

Although he had never experienced the anomaly just now, there was a faint sense of familiarity. When he used his doppelganger's positioning to Teleport over long distances, he had a similar feeling.

And the reason that feeling had appeared now could only be because he saw the disadvantage the human race cultivators were in on that battlefield and wanted to rush over to help…

Recalling everything from just now, Lu Ye's eyes slowly brightened as he gradually realized what had actually happened.

Right, he had already refined the Banlan Core and was the master of this Dao soldier.

In theory, within Banlan, he could come and go freely, go wherever he wished without having to travel, moving on a single thought.

Jiu Ying should have this kind of ability; it could easily move to any position within Banlan.

But he ultimately wasn't Jiu Ying, didn't have strength as great as its, so although he could reach any position in Banlan with a single thought, he had to pay a price and wouldn't be as relaxed and free as Jiu Ying.

The reason that abnormal situation had appeared just now was simply because, subconsciously, he wanted to rush to that battlefield. If that feeling hadn't been interrupted, he should already have arrived.

But it's not too late now!

Lu Ye once again focused his mind and looked in that direction, his gaze landing on that battlefield as his mind anchored to a position.

The space around him twisted, and his figure gradually blurred in that distortion.

After a full thirty-plus breaths, he suddenly vanished; all the distortions smoothed out in that instant, leaving no trace of his existence.

Billions of miles away, in the chaotic battlefield, Lu Ye abruptly appeared, his face a shade pale.

It was his first time exercising the rights of the Banlan master within Banlan. Perhaps because his strength was lacking, the teleportation took a long time, and his mind was greatly consumed.

That alone would be fine, but the key was that his Dao force also suffered a heavy loss.

He had originally kept two to three thousand Dao force in reserve, yet this single teleportation consumed nearly all his Dao force.

Fortunately it wasn't completely drained, otherwise suddenly appearing in a battlefield like this, he would only be at others' mercy.

He secretly warned himself that he had to be careful using this kind of authority; it absolutely couldn't be used while fleeing. In thirty-plus breaths, if a strong enemy were pursuing him, he'd have died countless times over.

In the end, his strength was still insufficient. Even after refining the Banlan Core, there were many limitations.

The position he had originally anchored to was within the Insect and Blood Races' army; once he appeared, he could have started a great slaughter.

But because he hadn't accounted for the delay in timing, by the time he showed up, the surroundings were empty. The enemy army had long since pursued far ahead, leaving him in the rear. When he looked up, he could only see the backs of the enemy army.

After slightly calming his surging blood Qi, Lu Ye's figure flickered, and his Talent Tree Avatar condensed into existence.

He raised a hand and tossed a spare robe from the Small Flower World to the avatar. The two figures swept out to the left and right, chasing forward.

Elsewhere, within a dense Blood Sea, Dao force surged. The human race Dao Fusion Governor in this combat zone was locked in a fierce battle with a Blood Race Dao Fusion.

They had clashed many times; their strengths were similar, evenly matched.

Yet at this moment, the Blood Race held an absolute advantage, its momentum overwhelming, while the human governor was defending in utter disarray.

The reason was that, earlier, the Blood Race Dao Fusion had deliberately opened up the Blood Sea, letting his opponent see the changes across the battlefield to disrupt his mind.

The human Dao Fusion naturally knew what scheme the Blood Race was playing, but watching his subordinates at the Enter the Path level being hunted down in miserable retreat, yet being powerless to reverse it, his heart filled with pain and self-blame. He knew he should steady his mind and not be swayed by external matters, but he simply couldn't.

He had tried many times to escape the Blood Sea's encirclement, but every attempt failed; instead, he was wounded by his opponent taking the opportunity.

The situation grew ever more dire.

And that Blood Race was still chattering incessantly in his ears, maddeningly irritating.

His heart tightened as he realized he was likely doomed this time. Secretly, he resolved that even if he died, he would drag the other down with him!

The human race had been routed in this battle, but if he could take the enemy Dao Fusion with him, the loss would not look quite so ugly.

Just as he was preparing to do this, that incessant voice suddenly cut off. Not only that, but the Blood Race Dao Fusion seemed to have encountered something inconceivable, and its aura actually faltered in panic for a moment.

He didn't know what had happened to his opponent, but this was undeniably an opportunity. His Dao force erupted all at once, and he instantly stabilized the situation on his side.

In the clash, he keenly noticed the shock and disbelief on the Blood Race's face; even its offensive no longer had the previous sharpness.

What change had occurred?

He was trapped within the Blood Sea and knew nothing of the outside world, but merely from his opponent's shift in behavior, he could deduce that there had absolutely been a change on the external battlefield—and a change unfavorable to the enemy, otherwise his opponent would not be acting like this.

This stirred his heart with excitement. He secretly guessed whether the reinforcements he'd requested had arrived already, but that efficiency would be a bit too high. By his estimation, the reinforcements he'd called for shouldn't reach the battlefield for at least half a day.

Reinforcements had indeed arrived on the battlefield, but they were not the ones this human Dao Fusion had requested.

Lu Ye's true body and avatar pursued their way into the Insect and Blood Races' army, splitting up and charging straight through, carving out strips of vacuum wherever they passed.

The Insect and Blood Races cultivators at the rear were stunned.

No one understood how, when they were obviously the ones doing the pursuing, two humans had suddenly appeared behind them—and these two humans… were both Dao Fusion!

Almost every Insect Race or Blood Race cultivator who came into contact with them turned into blood mist at the instant of meeting; only Dao Bones, radiating faint golden light, were left behind, then collected!
