Parasite (Gu) Breeding Longveity Path: Starting from the love-enamored Gu

Chapter 1052: Chapter 406: Condensing Heart Eye Direct Death, Peering into Dead Rule, Principle Backlash Chapter 1052: Chapter 406: Condensing Heart Eye Direct Death, Peering into Dead Rule, Principle Backlash “Sister Fengxi, if the Prison Demon World is so terrifying, how did our Human clan manage to survive all this time?”

Bai Sujie asked curiously.

After all, the Human clan had existed for a long period and naturally had experienced many such great calamities.

But even so, they had still survived.

Clearly, they had quite some experience in dealing with such disasters.

“Well, there are two main reasons,”

“The first reason is that our Human clan is weak and insignificant with a very low presence.”

“Those from the Yuzhu and Demon Clan who want to become stronger naturally need to devour powerful beings, targeting the Super Races and True spirit race, why would they specifically target our weak clan.”

“So, we of the Human clan are naturally overlooked by them, and they simply ignore us, basically not being actively targeted.”

Daoist Fengxi explained.

“This!”

Bai Sujie and Shi Yuxi’s mouth twitched, at a loss for words. That the Human clan had managed to survive such a great calamity was actually because they were too weak and ignored by the enemy.

It’s like a human war, who cares about ants by the roadside?

To those Super Races, humans are just a bunch of ants, not worth mentioning at all.

“The second reason is that our Human clan hid.”

“Once a great calamity appears, the Human Imperial City would immediately shut down, not venturing out to avoid the disaster.”

“Other human cities would also hide in certain places, waiting for the calamity to end.”

“If lucky, not encountering any cultivators from the Prison Demon World, maybe not a single human city would be destroyed.”

“Even if unlucky, some human cities would still survive.”

“You should know, normally speaking, following the development of the Human clan, there shouldn’t only be one hundred and eight cities by now.”

“In fact, in history, at least over a thousand cities have been built.”

“But due to calamity after calamity, at least ninety percent of the cities have been destroyed.”

“To this day, only one hundred and eight cities remain.”

Daoist Fengxi said helplessly.

This was indeed the helplessness of a weaker clan.

Even if you could really build cities in the Spirit World, if they couldn’t be protected, it was still pointless.

Any enemy could destroy the cities.

And humans would rebuild the cities time and time again on the ruins.

Phoenixes would rise from the ashes.

“Sister Fengxi, in this case, how long is this great calamity going to last?”

Bai Sujie inquired.

“Well, according to historical experience, it should last at least a hundred thousand years,”

Daoist Fengxi thought for a moment and gave an answer.

What?!

Bai Sujie and the others were completely stunned, dumbfounded.

They had originally thought the great calamity would end soon, who would have known it would last at least a hundred thousand years.

Such a lengthy period, even those with Great Unification Ability would die of old age, wouldn’t they?

There would scarcely be anyone who could actually live until the end of the great calamity.

The mere thought of spending the next hundred thousand years in the midst of a great calamity was enough to cause despair.

It was as if a dark age had truly begun.

“If that is the case, what should we do?”

Bai Sujie couldn’t help asking.

“There’s no choice but to hide and avoid being discovered by cultivators from the Prison Demon World.”

“If discovered, we can only run away.”

“While we can’t take a whole city’s population with us, escaping with a few dozen up to a hundred people is still doable.”

“In that case, even if everyone else perishes, as long as there are a hundred humans left, given enough time, a vast clan can still be propagated.”

Daoist Fengxi spoke frankly.

“This!”

Bai Sujie and Shi Yuxi were left speechless, unsure of what to say, wondering how many people it would take to successfully propagate a clan starting from a hundred.

Though Daoist Fengxi truly wished to protect the common people, she wouldn’t risk extinction of the Human clan by going down with the enemy when it was impossible to do otherwise.

There needed to be at least some seeds left to ensure the survival of the Human clan.

As cruel as such a measure might be, it was nevertheless a necessary evil.

All one could do was hope that Fengxi Island remained undiscovered by cultivators from the Prison Demon World and would safely get through the calamity for a hundred thousand years.

“Alright, now that Qili, you’ve ascended to Unity, Fengxi Island has a protector.”

“I can leave with a peace of mind to search for opportunities to heal my wounds,” Daoist Fengxi said gravely.

“Fengxi, does that mean you still haven’t recovered from your injuries?”

“Were the injuries from the last great battle of Unity that severe?”

Tao Qili frowned, as she had assumed that Daoist Fengxi’s injuries would have already healed. It was somewhat unbelievable to hear they hadn’t.

“My injuries weren’t caused by those from the Alien Race at the Unity level.”

“It was that Immortal Artifact that inflicted them.”

“In the process of subduing the Red Thunder Immortal Ruler, I suffered a backlash from its Principle of Lightning, leading to a Law Wound within my body.”

“This has delayed the healing of my injuries,” Daoist Fengxi revealed.

“A Law Wound? What exactly is that?”

Bai Sujie asked with some worry.

“The so-called Principle represents a higher dimension of power, and it is the force that embodies the essence of the world.”

“This world is constructed from various Principles.”

“If practitioners below the Mahayana Realm are those who manipulate the forces of heaven and earth, then those above the Mahayana Realm have begun to manipulate the various Principles.”
