Sage of Humanity

In the Thousand Streams Blessed Land, all the Blood Race had set out on a campaign, leaving only Lu Ye to guard the place alone, along with the pregnant human women sent from various cave residences.

These women couldn't be casually placed elsewhere. Before they gave birth to the Blood Embryos, they had to be cared for here. Only after delivering the Blood Embryos could they be sent to nearby villages.

It had been a month since arriving at the Thousand Streams Blessed Land. On the second day after Lu Ye's arrival, Dao Thirteen led a group from Bright Moon Cave Residence to meet with him, which strengthened the power of the Thousand Streams Blessed Land. Regardless of the situation, although the Blood Race brought by Dao Thirteen were not in the True Lake Realm, they were all the remaining elites of the cave residences with reasonably good strength.

Subsequently, on Yu Lingfeng's command, many personnel from various cave residences were conscripted under his banner. A few days later, the troops were gathered, and they set out for Beimin Blessed Land.

Lu Ye did not follow in that battle, only dispatching Dao Thirteen to oversee it. The battle proceeded relatively smoothly. After the Beimin Blessed Land lost many True Lake Realm Blood Race members, some fled, and some surrendered. Overnight, the foundation of Thousand Streams Blessed Land was considerably strengthened, even incorporating several True Lake Realm Blood Race members stronger than Yu Lingfeng.

According to the rules of the Blood Race, under such circumstances, Yu Lingfeng wouldn't be able to continue being the Blessed Land Master. However, with Dao Thirteen's intimidating presence, even those Blood Race members stronger than Yu Lingfeng didn't dare to act recklessly.

This made them envious, wondering where Yu Lingfeng found such a powerful Blood Slave.

After capturing Beimin Blessed Land, and following approximately ten days of reorganization, the forces of Thousand Streams Blessed Land set out once again to attack another Blessed Land.

Lu Ye stayed behind, partly to look after the human women, and partly to cultivate, as well as to think about a way out.

At present, he can thrive in the Blood Refinement World using the Soul Taming Divine Runes, as the targets he chooses are not strong, allowing him to control them easily.

However, if he were to encounter Blood Race members in the Divine Sea Realm, his Soul Taming might not be effective.

Moreover, the strength of one person is limited and cannot change the grand scheme of the Blood Refinement World.

Perhaps within the jurisdiction of the Thousand Streams Blessed Land, humans can barely live in peace, but how many territories similar to Thousand Streams Blessed Land are there in the entire Blood Refinement World?

Unable to change the grand scheme of the Blood Refinement World means there is no way to save the human race in this world.

Lu Ye had been contemplating the purpose of Nine Provinces Heaven's Augury sending him to this world, and although he had few clues, it was definitely related to the human race in this world.

Therefore, the most urgent matter is to improve his cultivation, ideally to the level of the Divine Sea Realm.

In this way, he can control some Blood Race members in the Divine Sea Realm, and by then, he can protect more of the human race.

For Lu Ye, the matter of cultivation is relatively simple. If not considering the consumption of the Talent Tree's fuel, the Blood River would be the best place for cultivation.

However, because the Talent Tree's fuel consumption in the Blood River is too rapid, Lu Ye can only abandon this method of cultivation.

Fortunately, his storage space contains a large number of Spirit Stones and elixir pills, and recently, Yu Lingfeng brought back many Blood Crystals after returning from his conquest.

In the short term, there is no lack of cultivation resources.

Although the cultivation efficiency does not match using spirit fortune sticks in the Nine Provinces, such cultivation avoids worrying about cultivation advancing too fast and destabilizing the foundation.

Lu Ye estimated that once the Spirit Stones and elixir pills in his possession were exhausted, his cultivation would advance to True Lake Level 8. As for future cultivation, he could only proceed step-by-step and, if needed, go hunt Blood Race members to obtain Blood Crystals for cultivation.

He might even enter the Blood River for cultivation; as long as the consumption of the Talent Tree's fuel is controlled, there shouldn't be any significant issues.

The scream of a woman came from not far away, from the direction where many human women were gathered.

Lu Ye frowned, released his Mental Consciousness, and after silently sensing for a moment, confirmed that the woman was not in danger of dying, so he did not go to assist.

A little later, a young girl holding a freshly birthed Blood Embryo approached Lu Ye with a look of trepidation. Placing the Blood Embryo in front of Lu Ye, she glanced at him fearfully before quickly running away.

The young girl was chosen by Lu Ye from among the human women to be a helper.

One must admit that in the Blood Refinement World, the human race had been oppressed and enslaved for so long that they did not know how to stand up and live with dignity.

Even with Lu Ye backing them, these human women were anxious every day.

The young girl was among the few with some courage, which is why Lu Ye chose her as an assistant in delivering births, but even so, whenever she brought over a Blood Embryo, she dared not communicate much with Lu Ye.

In her understanding, Lu Ye was a Blood Slave of the Blood Race, a person of the Blood Race.

To her, the Blood Race was sacred and untouchable, and even the unhatched Blood Embryos could not be harmed even a little, so she brought them all here for Lu Ye to handle.

This inevitably made Lu Ye miss Lann Qiyue.

Before, when Lann Qiyue was in Bright Moon Cave Residence, such matters concerning the women did not require his intervention. She alone could take care of the pregnant women, assist with deliveries, and handle the Blood Embryos.

Looking at the Blood Embryo covered in Blood Water before him, Lu Ye expressionlessly raised his hand. Under the surge of his spirit force, the Blood Embryo instantly turned to ash in the flames.

Continuing cultivation.

All around him were numerous Spirit Stones, with the roots of the Talent Tree probing into them, rapidly absorbing their energy for his own use. He constantly stuffed elixir pills into his mouth, consuming them.

Occasionally, he would even chew on a Blood Crystal, crunching it audibly.

The following day, the Blood Race that had set out from the Thousand Streams Blessed Land returned under the leadership of Yu Lingfeng. Lu Ye did not inquire about the battle results. To him, the wars between Blood Races were just dog-eat-dog affairs. How many died was irrelevant to him, as long as he could maintain the Thousand Streams Blessed Land, providing at least a stable living environment for the human women gathered there.

However, judging by the number of Blood Crystals Dao Thirteen brought back, it seemed many Blood Race members had perished in the battle.

After a moment, Yu Lingfeng also arrived, bowing respectfully: "Sir."

Lu Ye didn't even lift his eyelids.

Yu Lingfeng was unfazed, having interacted frequently with Lu Ye, he was long accustomed to Lu Ye's attitude.

He then began to report on the current battle situation.

Our forces suffered considerable losses, but we subdued even more of the enemy Blood Race, so after this battle, the foundation of the Thousand Streams Blessed Land not only wasn't weakened but actually grew stronger.

After finishing his report, Yu Lingfeng did not leave, appearing somewhat hesitant.

"Is there anything else?" Lu Ye asked.

It was only then that Yu Lingfeng spoke: "Sir, there are many True Lake Realm Sacred Race members gathered here at the Blessed Land now, many of whom have a higher cultivation than myself. Especially those new arrivals, most of them don't respect me much and covet my position as the Blessed Land Master. I intend to make an example of someone..."

Lu Ye knew what he wanted to do.

Yu Lingfeng definitely couldn't manage this on his own, so he needed to borrow strength.

Lu Ye turned to Dao Thirteen, who was sitting next to him, chewing on a Blood Crystal, his entire body glowing with blood light, and instructed: "From now on, if he tells you to kill any Blood Race, you kill that Blood Race."

"Oh," Dao Thirteen responded sullenly.

Yu Lingfeng was overjoyed: "Thank you, Sir!"

In the eyes of others, Dao Thirteen was his Blood Slave, but the true situation was only clear to himself; Dao Thirteen was not under his control.

But as long as the Blood Race believed this to be the case, no one would dare be impudent in front of him in the future.

"If Sir has no other instructions, I shall take my leave."

The following days were uneventful.

Many new Blood Races arrived at the Thousand Streams Blessed Land, and naturally, a reorganization was necessary to prepare for the upcoming battles.

Such battles provided the victorious side with benefits, as they would share in the spoils of Blood Crystals from the fallen Blood Race.

Compared to drinking Blood Race fresh blood, Blood Crystals undoubtedly provided a greater and better enhancement for the Blood Race.

One day, while Lu Ye was cultivating, Yu Lingfeng rushed over in a panic: "Sir, something's wrong."

Lu Ye slowly opened his eyes and looked at him: "What is it?"

"News has come that the White Cloud Blessed Land, Heavenly Tower Blessed Land, and Clear Autumn Blessed Land have united to attack our Thousand Streams Blessed Land. The allied forces of the three are already on their way and will arrive by tomorrow at the latest."

Lu Ye's brow furrowed slightly. Although this was within his expectations, the response from these Blessed Lands was faster than he anticipated.

In the past month, the Thousand Streams Blessed Land had successively taken over two nearby Blessed Lands, making significant moves. It's impossible for the nearby other Blessed Lands not to have heard the news.

Once they heard the news, there would inevitably be a response.

Initiating an attack was undoubtedly the best response, and for three to join forces at once demonstrated the decisiveness of these Blessed Lands.

Though the Thousand Streams Blessed Land now has a strong military, it couldn't possibly hold back three Blessed Lands attacking in unison.

Lu Ye and Dao Thirteen could certainly assist, and with the two of them, defending the Thousand Streams Blessed Land would not be an issue.

The only problem was that with the outbreak of war, the fate of the human women in the Blessed Land was worrisome. After all, during chaos, who would care about the lives of the human race?

Therefore, Lu Ye must ensure the safety of those human women.

"Understood, go make the arrangements yourself. Dao Thirteen will go with you; if anyone dares to disturb the army's morale, kill them without mercy."

"Yes." Only then did Yu Lingfeng feel somewhat reassured, and he left with Dao Thirteen.

Lu Ye also stood up and headed to the place where the human women were settled; he was going to set up a protective array there to ensure their safety as much as possible.

Additionally, there was something else he wanted to try, and this great battle was the perfect opportunity to test its power.

For him, it didn't matter even if all the Blood Race like Yu Lingfeng perished, as long as the Thousand Streams Blessed Land remained, he could always create another puppet.

The key was to ensure that the Blood Race's warfare didn't affect the human women.

In just two hours, Lu Ye set up a protective array.

He did not rest and continued walking around the Blessed Land, placing the array discs he had refined over this period in various locations.

He was busy until past midnight before everything was properly arranged.

The entire Thousand Streams Blessed Land was now gearing up for war, with numerous Blood Races gathered together, secretly preparing for the impending battle.
