Chapter 1144: Chapter 761: The Lifeline of the Human Race (Part 2)
The significance of the existence of Ancestor Artifacts is to suppress their origin, sever their roots, and eliminate their possibility of running amok in the Edge Corner Airspace."
The high-level officials of the Dao Palace not only delivered this narrative to all races but also instilled it within their own elders, depicting humans as a major threat in the Edge Corner Airspace. Therefore, Ge Hengzi naturally responded this way.
Xiang Beifei said indifferently, "I am of the Human Race."
Ge Hengzi’s face immediately changed, turning pale with fright, and he hurriedly said, "Forgive me, young master! This old slave didn’t recognize the mountain of Taishan! Those words were only... only..."
How could he have thought that the person standing in front of him was a powerful figure of the Ancestral Dao Realm of the Human Race?
Nowadays, he is utterly loyal to Xiang Beifei, even if it’s the Human Race, he will submit.
"Alright, there’s no need to concern yourself with so many trivial matters, just tell me how the Ancestor Artifacts suppress the origins of humans?" Xiang Beifei asked.
Ge Hengzi hesitated, then said, "I don’t know how exactly it’s done, but I heard that these three Ancestor Artifacts firmly control the lifeline of the Human Race. As long as these three Ancestor Artifacts exist, the Human Race has no chance of rising."
Firmly controlling the lifeline of the Human Race?
What is the lifeline of the Human Race?
Xiang Beifei frowned.
A few thoughts flashed through his mind.
But it was clear that Ge Hengzi didn’t know much. Each elder of the Dao Palace has their own responsibilities, and he dared not inquire about matters outside his duties.
"If one is of the Human Race, how can they avoid the detection of the Blood Soil of the Ancestor Artifacts? In other words, is there a way for humans to enter Sheyin City?" Xiang Beifei asked.
Ge Hengzi pondered for a moment, then shook his head, saying, "I don’t know. Humans entering Sheyin City will surely trigger the Blood Soil. There might be other methods, but it would require asking Zhang Yuexing."
Asking Zhang Yuexing is not a simple matter. Experts in the ascension realm, especially under the current circumstances, would even include experts of the Ancestral Dao Realm in the city, making any attempt of capture nearly impossible.
Xiang Beifei was considering the matter of the Human Race’s lifeline, and Ge Hengzi dared not speak, simply waiting beside him.
Li Qianluo asked, "By the way, how do we deal with these two guys? Are we to kill them or what?"
She pointed at Shou Qiaoba and Mo Qiuze, who were tightly restrained by Ge Hengzi.
Shou Qiaoba and Mo Qiuze’s hearts skipped a beat, and they were scared out of their wits!
They couldn’t even handle Ge Hengzi, and Ge Hengzi had become the number one servant on the Earth Ranking, foreboding imminent doom for themselves!
Xiang Beifei glanced at them; as long as they understood his Dao embryos, it would be more than sufficient to target their cultivated Dao embryos to defeat them.
However, their Dao embryos differed from Ge Hengzi’s. Ge Hengzi cultivated the Divine Sense Dao, which allowed Xiang Beifei to alter perceptions, whereas Shou Qiaoba and Mo Qiuze cultivated the Beast Dao and the Demon Dao, making direct influence over thoughts more troublesome.
A system interface appeared in front of Xiang Beifei:
[Dao Master: Xiang Beifei]
[Dao Level: Subtle Influence]
[Realm: Late Inquiry Dao Realm]
"The Human Race is not an evil race but a race persecuted by the Dao Palace. The Dao Palace even sacrifices all races to unlock Rushou’s relics, the Dayan Jinshou, gathering souls. This is something you must remember."
Xiang Beifei forcibly imparted the truth to Shou Qiaoba and Mo Qiuze, subtly influencing their perception.
"Yes, I understand." Shou Qiaoba and Mo Qiuze nodded simultaneously.
"From now on, when you encounter the Human Race, do not harbor hostility. If humans are in distress, provide assistance as much as possible!" Xiang Beifei continued.
"Understood." Shou Qiaoba and Mo Qiuze looked at Xiang Beifei again with utmost respect.
"The Dao Palace is truly your enemy!"
"Yes, the Dao Palace is the enemy!"
Both Shou Qiaoba and Mo Qiuze’s eyes flared with endless anger when mentioning the Dao Palace.
Xiang Beifei continued, "But do not reveal it as much as possible. As long as you cannot resist the Dao Palace, you must pretend until the Human Race rises, then stand by their side."
"Yes."
Only then did the two restrain their animosity towards the Dao Palace.
However, under the subtle influence of Xiang Beifei, their impression of the Dao Palace deteriorated rapidly, while their goodwill toward the Human Race increased dramatically.
Xiang Beifei then turned to Ge Hengzi and said, "I demonstrated for you. You should understand what to do from now on, right?"
Ge Hengzi took the hint and immediately said, "I understand, from now on this old slave will use his abilities to correct every race’s prejudice against the Human Race and let them understand the true nature of the Dao Palace."
He could also forcibly alter others’ perceptions through the Divine Sense Dao.
"That’s good, and you don’t need to refer to yourself as ’old slave’ anymore. Just understand your identity and speak accordingly," Xiang Beifei said.
"Yes!" Ge Hengzi responded.
Xiang Beifei pondered for a moment, he extended his hand, and a mystical Dao embryo appeared as light at his fingertip. With another flick, the Dao embryo entered Ge Hengzi’s forehead.
"Continue to comprehend this Dao embryo. I have specially deduced it according to your Dao embryo, and it will greatly assist your cultivation."
The Dao embryo entered his mind, immediately connecting with Ge Hengzi’s Divine Sense Dao!
Ge Hengzi raised his head, feeling the new Dao embryo in his mind, with growing astonishment in his eyes!
This was an entirely new Dao embryo, more unique than the Dao embryos of the five Dao Stones in the City of No Pretense, an upgraded version that perfectly aligned with his Dao embryo.
"This... this I don’t know how to repay you... Thank you! Thank you, young master!" Ge Hengzi was so grateful that he was incoherent and was about to bow again.
But Xiang Beifei stopped him: "Alright, no need for formalities, just focus on enhancing your cultivation level."
Xiang Beifei needed talents like Ge Hengzi.
With the cultivation of the Divine Sense Dao, he could control others’ perceptions, and being an elder of the Dao Palace, he had status and connections with various races. He could serve as an envoy to convey the image of the Human Race to all races, turning them to support the Human Race.
Ge Hengzi was deeply moved, a thousand years ago, unable to step onto the Heavenly Ranking, he joined the Dao Palace to work for them, hoping for the favor and guidance of the formidable Ancestral Dao Realm experts of the Dao Palace.
However, those at the Ancestral Dao Realm were so lofty that they paid no attention to small figures like him. He never expected to find backing outside the Dao Palace, and now, he was utterly loyal to Xiang Beifei, with no divided heart.
"You all go about your tasks, I’ll find you if anything arises."
"Yes."
Ge Hengzi said no more and immediately left with Shou Qiaoba and Mo Qiuze.

"What do you think the lifeline suppressed by the Ancestor Artifacts of the Human Race is?" Xiaohei asked.
Li Qianluo, holding her chin, said, "Isn’t it obvious? Why do all races submit to the Dao Palace? The reason lies in the Dao Palace’s control over the lifeline. Thus, the lifeline of the Human Race is self-evident."
Xiang Beifei nodded slightly, "Indeed! It should be something the Human Race has been searching for."
The Human Race currently has enough members in the ascension realm, Inquiry Dao Realm, and Immortal Realm to proudly stand among the strongest.
Especially figures like Luo Shanyou and Li Qianluo, who could all be ranked in the Heaven and Earth Ranking.
Races like the Demon Dao Race and the Beast Dao Race have to give way!
Yet the Human Race continues to live in great difficulty.
The reason for this is that they are wanted and cannot use breath soil, which almost led to their extinction.
However, they previously had enough to rival breath soil.
That is to say, the lifeline of the Human Race suppressed by the Ancestor Artifacts is most likely the Mustard Seed in Palm!
