Speaking, he lowered his head and pointed toward the four corpses of the Komodo Divine Clan below: "The Divine Clan is guilty of heinous crimes, secretly manipulating the Confederation of Thousands to invade our human civilization, attempting to eradicate our race. Today, their deaths are merely a declaration of our human stance. In the future, I shall lead all humanity to annihilate the so-called 'Divine Clan.'
The Transcendent Human Beings: "..."
Upon hearing this, the chubby neighbor thought about taking Li Yao and fleeing again.
"I understand all that," the Civic Raccoon extended his sharp claws, scratching his forehead: "But these two, regardless of their race, have nothing to do with you all. After all, it's my law that they broke. You brutally killed them, and as the Civic Ruler, how can I overlook this?"
As the words fell, everyone, including the white-bearded and tight-suited highest A-grades, felt their hearts rise again.
"You also make some valid points. Emmm..." nodding, Chen Yu pondered for a moment, then extended two fingers, "In that case, I'll add two hundred to your envelope."
Civic Raccoon: "..."
Everyone in the hall: "..."
Civic Raccoon: "Deal."
Everyone in the hall: "!!!"
...
Just like that.
Leaving behind the two bodies of the Komodo Divine Clan, taking a no-one-seen seven hundred human currency envelope. Successfully drove away Civic Raccoon and the other trembling extra-species enforcers.
Perhaps many present at the time would find this outcome unbelievable.
But Chen Yu had anticipated it long ago.
During his previous state of void, he hadn't merely been "wandering."
He was aware of many secrets of the Thousands.
Like the conflicts between the Komodo Divine Clan and the species of Civic Raccoon.
One wanted to maintain the top position, keep the current system, and harvest from the Thousands.
The other wanted to contest for the top position, establish a new system, and harvest from the Thousands.
Between them, there was virtually no reconciliation.
They had been battling to the death for over seven thousand years.
They had even fought many "proxy wars."
And now, the rising humans were the new "proxy" selected by Civic Raccoon.
This was also the reason why the other party was initially willing to "aid" humanity.
As for why they chose humans...
It was naturally because the emergence of "Ancient Human Relics" allowed many species to recognize that humans were indeed the origin of the Thousands—the Ancestors.
Civic Raccoon decisively changed the "proxy," choosing to support humans.
Once human powers reached the middle level of the hundreds of species, humans would themselves "seek interests" and strike at the existing system of the Hundreds.
Thus breaking the chains of treaties, igniting a world-encompassing war.
With turbulent waters...
As the runners-up, they could muddy the waters, waiting for an opportunity to intervene.
Even if unsuccessful, they could continually undermine the system and prestige established by the Komodo Divine Clan.
For seven thousand years, this tactic had been employed many times by them.
Thus, the Komodo Divine Clan also had abundant experience in dealing with this.
The first response was to attempt to extinguish humanity in its cradle...
But from the moment Civic Raccoon changed their "proxy" to humans, it had only been a mere twenty years.
The Raccoon's species hadn't yet managed to cultivate them properly.
And the Divine Clan had just begun to act.
"Tsk tsk."
In the temple, within the ancestral tomb of humanity, thinking of this, Chen Yu uttered a mocking laugh.
The players of all lives in the game often end up being played by the pieces.
Not to mention his own combat ability was "decadent."
Just mentioning the Human Rights Association's "Transcendent's Doomsday Cannon," he could overturn the entire game board.
"But the current strength is still not stable,"
Lowering his head in contemplation, Chen Yu's eyes flickered.
After all, his current power was still at A- grade.
Even with numerous supernatural abilities by his side and hero-level enhancements, facing Civic Raccoon-like top global combatants... even multiple top combatants, the outlook was not promising.
"So..."
"This was a necessary measure."
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yu lifted his head and stepped forward, entering the third floor of the ancestral tomb.
Passing through a partition, he came in front of a middle-aged man in a red robe meditating on his injuries.
Hearing the movement, the middle-aged man in a red robe slowly opened his eyes and gazed deeply at Chen Yu: "Your Majesty, you've come."
"Hmm," Chen Yu nodded, glancing at the nearby opened coffin: "How is your recovery?"
"No medical help, poor recovery." The man in the red robe also followed Chen Yu's gaze toward the coffin.
He remembered clearly.
That coffin belonged to a young man named "Chen Yu."
At that moment, it had been opened.
It was completely empty...
"Poor recovery is good," Chen Yu nodded in satisfaction.
Man in the red robe: "..."
Sitting down next to the man in the red robe, Chen Yu took out two cigars from his pocket and offered one to him: "Cigarette, want one?"
"No."
"Then I won't have one either."
"As you wish."
"...sigh, a lot happened today." Looking up at the ceiling, Chen Yu made conversation.
"..." The man in the red robe remained silent.
"What do you think?"
"It was a lot."
"I feel tired. How about you?"
"...I'm more than tired." The man in the red robe clutched his chest: "I'm in pain."
"Exactly," Chen Yu clapped his hands. "That's exactly why we say our lives are truly miserable. Both painful and tiring."
"What do you mean by that?" The man in the red robe asked expressionlessly.
"Have you ever thought about dying?" Chen Yu suddenly asked.
"...With treatment, I should not die now."
"But what if there is none?"
"..."
"Ah, let me put it another way." Smacking his lips, Chen Yu looked at him: "If the human race were in imminent danger, and only by sacrificing your life could you save the day, would you be willing to give your life?"
"...Your Majesty, do I have a choice?" Silence followed once again. The man in the red robe shrugged.
From the time he was severely injured, and the Great Emperor had placed him in the ancestral tomb with no treatment, he had had a vague premonition.
"All I want to know now is what my death would be for."
"To make me successful." Standing up, Chen Yu spoke somberly: "And thereby save humanity."
A+ level Defying Fate Skill.
A+ level ability — "Fury Flames."
One could push his strength to the peak.
One could enhance his already "hero-level" ability, "Beast Magic Power."
These two critically important things existed within the body of this once most powerful Transcendent of the human race...

"Therefore, you must die," Chen Yu concluded.
Because of the "Void" state, the title "Star of Tomorrow" was not being updated. Your journey continues with Freewebnovel
So, all of Chen Yu's current titles had less "weight" than the title of the man in the red robe.
It was difficult to change his title to what it had been before.
Also, the firing of the "Transcendent Doomsday Cannon" was imminent.
The army of the Komodo Divine Clan would doubtlessly soon attack.
Only by turning him into a "corpse" could he more quickly and accurately obtain his power and abilities.
"I'm sorry."
Towards the man in the red robe, Chen Yu bowed deeply: "I have no choice."
"...I understand now."
Standing up, the man in the red robe continued looking toward the nearby coffin, his voice hoarse: "Perhaps your many abilities were acquired this way."
Chen Yu: "..."
"Lastly, may I ask you a question." The man in the red robe smiled.
"Of course."
"Who are you, really?"
"..." Chen Yu fell silent, once again looking toward the open coffin.
"Hahahaha—"
The man in the red robe laughed heartily, his spirit soaring: "Interesting! Very interesting!"
