Sage of Humanity

In a great battle, both sides of the Blood Race suffered significant casualties, but those who survived were all elite.

Lann Qiyue stepped up and reorganized them. No Blood Race member dared to object, and they all followed orders, for in the eyes of the Blood Race, being able to serve under a Sacred Seed was a dream come true.

The territory of Thousand Streams Blessed Land expanded once more, and naturally, the range they could protect also grew larger.

After Lann Qiyue assumed her position, the first thing she announced was that from today onwards, the Blood Race under her command must not harm the lives of the human race in any way.

Although Yu Lingfeng had announced this once before, the effect was entirely different.

When Yu Lingfeng announced it, the Blood Race members agreed verbally, but in their hearts, they were indifferent and didn't really take it seriously.

After all, how could there be a Blood Race that doesn't feed on Blood Food?

Some even decided to sneakily continue feeding, as long as they weren't caught on the spot it was fine.

But once this order came from the mouth of a Sacred Seed, no Blood Race member dared to disobey.

Pregnant human women were continuously sent to Thousand Streams Blessed Land for settlement, and Lann Qiyue, who had previously handled these matters, now found it even more effortless with her greatly increased cultivation.

She selected a few human women from among them, trained them slightly to serve as assistants, so that these expectant mothers of the human race could be well cared for, and after they gave birth to Blood Embryos, they were sent to nearby villages for settlement.

Lu Ye no longer had to worry about these trivial matters, he only needed to cultivate.

Time flew by, and another month had passed.

In the rear courtyard of Thousand Streams Blessed Land, in Lu Ye's sleeping quarters, air waves swept around him, and the spirit force surging within was clearly more refined.

True Lake Level 8!

Thinking back, when he practiced cultivation using the Earth Vein of the Nameless Secret Realm, it took two months to ascend from True Lake Level 5 to Level 7.

But since coming to the Blood Refinement World, over three months had passed, and his cultivation had only advanced by one level.

Of course, during these three months, only two months were genuinely spent on cultivation; the first month was spent recovering his original level of cultivation, which doesn't count.

The pace of cultivation wasn't fast, at least slower compared to before.

But compared to other human race cultivators, such an efficiency in cultivation was still terrifying.

The main contribution was the Talent Tree; with its power, Lu Ye could rapidly absorb the energy of Spirit Stones and elixir pills for his own use, which no other human race cultivator could match.

The Spirit Stones and elixir pills he carried with him were almost used up; now, the only resources left for his cultivation were some Blood Crystals, not many, but not too few either.

The source of the Blood Crystals was Lann Qiyue's external expansion.

During this month, she led the Blood Race of Thousand Streams Blessed Land to continuously attack nearby Blood Race territories, and now the territory governed by Thousand Streams Blessed Land is twice as large as it was a month ago; all humans within the jurisdiction are protected.

Lann Qiyue's cultivation progressed extremely quickly, and almost every time she returned from a battle, Lu Ye could sense an improvement in her cultivation.

Dao Thirteen's cultivation has also seen improvements.

Of course, he is only slowly recovering his original cultivation. Now, Dao Thirteen has reached the strength of a True Lake Level 9, just one step away from regaining the Divine Sea Realm.

Dao Thirteen's recovery was relatively slow, which was unavoidable as he couldn't absorb power from Blood Crystals as recklessly as Lu Ye could.

Recently, the thing he did most was to keep eating, consuming the blood and meat of this realm's demon beasts and beasts. With the body of a Divine Sea Realm physique, his appetite was naturally immense, requiring him to consume three to five demon beasts almost daily.

Fortunately, there were Blood Race members assigned to capture demon beasts for him, so Lu Ye didn't need to worry about it.

A little more time was needed...

In the blink of an eye, another two months passed.

It had been over five months since Lu Ye arrived in the Blood Refinement World.

Dao Thirteen's cultivation finally fully recovered, and Lu Ye knew it was time to leave here.

For five months, he had been pondering the purpose for which Nine Provinces Heaven's Augury had sent him to this world but had yet to grasp the intent.

The only certainty was that it was related to the human race in this world.

Looking at all the secret realms Lu Ye had been through, everything he did was inseparably linked to the fate and future of the humans in those secret realms, whether it was the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain, the Soaring Dragon World, or the Unparalleled Continent…

He once speculated whether Nine Provinces wanted him to rescue the humans of the Blood Refinement World?

But if that were the case, it would be an overestimation of him.

After all, he was just in the True Lake Realm, and even with Dao Thirteen as an assistant, he couldn't achieve much in such a vast world as the Blood Refinement World.

Adding Lann Qiyue didn't help either.

He couldn't take on such a huge responsibility of saving the humans in the Blood Refinement World unless he had the ability to destroy all the Blood Race in this world.

If it wasn't to rescue the humans of the Blood Refinement World, then why had Heaven's Augury sent him here?

Lu Ye needed to find an answer, so he had to leave Thousand Streams Blessed Land; staying here continuously wouldn't provide any clues.

The wait until today was precisely for Dao Thirteen to recover his cultivation; Dao Thirteen was the greatest aid Nine Provinces granted him here. Only when Dao Thirteen fully recovered could he carry out the next step of his plan.

As for Lann Qiyue…leaving her here to continue fighting and expanding would protect more humans, so she couldn't be taken along. Otherwise, traveling the Blood Refinement World with a Blood Race Sacred Seed would undoubtedly be much safer.

With a plan in mind, Lu Ye waited silently.

Since I am leaving, I naturally need to say goodbye to Lann Qiyue.

A day later, Lann Qiyue returned from her battles, and the first thing she did was to come to Lu Ye's quarters to report the battle situation, telling Lu Ye how many Blood Race members had died this trip, excitement overflowing in her expression.

Of course, the dead Blood Race naturally included her own subordinates, but she and Lu Ye were the same, feeling no pity for the deaths of her followers. To her, the death of a Blood Race member meant one more Blood Crystal in income.

Of course, to preserve her forces, not too many Blood Race members could die.

So every time she battled outside, she would control the number of Blood Race casualties, and when the timing was right, she would then activate her Sacred Seed bloodline, decisively settling the battle.

"Senior Brother, these are the Blood Crystals we harvested this time, several hundred in total." Lann Qiyue said as she handed Lu Ye a storage sack.

She naturally knew Lu Ye could use Blood Crystals for cultivation, but she never understood why Lu Ye had such a peculiar ability and never asked.

"You keep them for yourself, no need to give them to me." Lu Ye declined.

"It's too easy for me to cultivate; I don't necessarily need to rely on Blood Crystals, so it's more suitable for Senior Brother to use these."

Indeed, it was simple for her to cultivate; the Blood Race she killed in battle all became nutrients for her growth, and she could enter the Blood River at any time to enhance herself further.

"Then I'll accept them." Lu Ye took the storage sack, as he didn't have much cultivation resources on hand. Although a few hundred Blood Crystals were not much, they could still be a modest supplement.

After a brief pause, he said, "Junior Sister, I have something to tell you."

Lann Qiyue was momentarily stunned, then her expression abruptly changed as she quickly stood up, "I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it, Senior Brother don't say it!"

"I haven't even said what it is yet." Lu Ye was a bit speechless.

"I don't want to hear it anyway!" Lann Qiyue was somewhat annoyed, stomped her foot, turned into a streak of bloody light, and disappeared in an instant.

She was sharp as a knife, obviously realizing something.

Looking in the direction she left, Lu Ye was speechless for a moment.

Beside him, Dao Thirteen was eating a large piece of beast meat, his mouth dripping with oil, his belly greatly puffed out, carefree.

Suddenly, screams came from the front yard, it was not clear which unfortunate Blood Race had encountered Lann Qiyue in a bad mood and was casually destroyed by her.

The next day, as Lu Ye was meditating in cultivation, footsteps approached.

He opened his eyes to see it was Lann Qiyue.

Lu Ye smiled at her, gesturing for her to sit down.

Lann Qiyue turned her head away, standing there silently.

After a long while, she spoke, "Senior Brother, are you leaving?"

Lu Ye nodded slightly, "Yes."

Lann Qiyue turned to look at him, her eyes showing a hint of plea, "Can't you not leave? If Senior Brother leaves, I'll be here all alone."

"There are some things I need to go out and see for myself."

"Then go!" Lann Qiyue said angrily, "If Senior Brother leaves today, I'll kill all the humans in the territory tomorrow! I'll go kill those breeding mothers right now."

Lu Ye chuckled, "Don't say such angry words."

Lann Qiyue glared at him, "I can do it!"

"You might be able to, but you're still of the human race, once among those breeding mothers. If you really do such a thing, you'll surely suffer torment later."

"So what?" Lann Qiyue stubbornly looked at him.

However, after only holding her gaze for three breaths, she began to falter.

"Come over and sit." Lu Ye beckoned with his hand.

Lann Qiyue moved over, sat in front of him, and after holding it in, she finally said, "Then Senior Brother, take me with you. I am a Sacred Seed; staying by your side, I can also ensure your safety."

Lu Ye sighed, "If you leave, Thousand Streams Blessed Land will be in chaos, and those humans..."

"Why should their life or death matter to me?" Lann Qiyue's emotions suddenly became intense, "I was originally as good as dead. It was Senior Brother who saved me, taught me cultivation, and took me to the Blood Pool. Without Senior Brother, there would be no Lann Qiyue in this world. Senior Brother, do not forget, I was once just a normal human; I don't want to be a Sacred Seed, or a Blessed Land Master. I don't ask for anything else, just to be by Senior Brother's side, you can treat me as a mere servant."

Lu Ye was silent.

He suddenly realized that he had indeed taken things for granted. Before becoming a Sacred Seed, Lann Qiyue was just a human girl oppressed by the Blood Race.

But her current identity as a Sacred Seed made Lu Ye forget the past Lann Qiyue.

"For a Sacred Seed to be my servant, that's something I can't afford." Lu Ye said slowly, "But if you really wish so, then come with me."

Lann Qiyue looked at Lu Ye in surprise, "Really?"

Lu Ye nodded, "Indeed."

"But if we both leave, what will happen to the humans in Blessed Land?"

"I will try to make arrangements."

Perhaps there was no way to maintain the current situation in Blessed Land for long, but he could only do his best.
