Human Clan Defender-Chapter 674 - s You Have Arrived, Primordial Emperor Era (Four-in-One Request for Monthly Pass)_6

Shen Changqing had also learned something indirectly. Emperors could not live forever, but this was only relative. This restriction was left behind by the Primordial Emperor. If one day someone could break the Primordial Emperor's restriction, then Emperors could also achieve immortality. But this matter, he merely buried deep in his heart, with no intention of speaking it aloud. After all, if an Emperor could attain immortality, it would surely lead to many troubles.

Immediately, Shen Changqing asked again, "So Senior, were you one of the formidable experts of the Human Clan back then?"

"In years past, the Primordial Emperor, along with other powerful experts of the Human Clan, sacrificed themselves to re-coagulate the Seal Strength. I, on the other hand, became the spirit of the seal, remaining here ever since, hoping that successors would find this place and be informed of the events that transpired. Fortunately, you arrived here before I completely vanished, preventing this chapter of history from being utterly submerged in the annals of time."

The Mount Tai Prefecture Lord's tone was filled with emotion. Though still solemn, there was a greater sense of relief. He had remained here all this time, hoping that one day, successors would understand the calamities the Human Clan had faced and the subsequent hidden dangers, so they could make preparations in advance.

Just as Shen Changqing was about to ask further, the Mount Tai Prefecture Lord spoke first, "You must be very curious why, even after the Seal Strength was established, Demon Evils are still able to descend now, correct?"

"Indeed," Shen Changqing nodded. This was precisely what he wanted to ask.

The Mount Tai Prefecture Lord said, "The reasoning is quite simple. The power of the seal has actually been weakening all along. The Ancestral Vein shattered, and the Heaven and Earth Destiny dissipated. Despite the Primordial Emperor and other experts replenishing the Destiny, they ultimately couldn't solve the fundamental problem. The Ancestral Vein is the foundation of Heaven and Earth; its shattering signifies a continuous loss of nature's spiritual energy. As I mentioned before, the Human Clan's destiny is part of the Heaven and Earth Destiny, and the strength of Spiritual Energy is also part of the Heaven and Earth Destiny. With the Ancestral Vein shattered, Spiritual Energy diminishes day by day, and the Heaven and Earth Destiny progressively weakens. Furthermore, in the war against the Demon Evils, our Human Clan suffered grievous losses and failed to recover our vitality, so our destiny also suffered considerably.

"Initially, the Seal Strength had not weakened much. But now, after so much time has passed, the Seal Strength has decayed severely, so the Demon Evils naturally gained the qualification to enter Heaven and Earth once more."

This explanation enlightened Shen Changqing further.

At this moment, the Mount Tai Prefecture Lord's tone grew heavy. "I can sense that the Heaven and Earth's seal has weakened to an extreme degree. Initially, it was completely impossible for Demon Evils to enter Heaven and Earth. Later, as the Seal Strength diminished, Demon Evils at the Demon Saint Level were able to enter. I estimate that before long, Demon Gods will also be able to enter this Heaven and Earth. At that time, with the current strength of the Human Clan, I'm afraid there will be no way to resist them."

In his view, Shen Changqing's strength was not weak. But no matter how strong he was, he was still not at the level to contend with a Demon God. If the top experts within the Human Clan were all at this level, then they definitely had no qualification to face a Demon God. Once a Demon God arrived, the Human Clan would undoubtedly be annihilated. As for experts stronger than Demon Gods, the Mount Tai Prefecture Lord believed they probably no longer existed. After all, if such experts still existed, the Human Clan would have been wiped out during the war in the Primordial Emperor Era. The Human Clan had exhausted its foundations just to slay a single Demon Evil of that caliber. If another one appeared, it would be their doom. Yet, for the current Human Clan, even if the Demon Evil Clan lacked experts above Demon Gods, Demon Gods alone were likely capable of annihilating the Human Clan. Therefore, the Mount Tai Prefecture Lord felt no optimism about the current situation. It couldn't be helped; the Human Clan of today was truly too weak compared to the Primordial Emperor Era.

"The Heaven and Earth Passage has two ends, both of which contain Seal Strength. For native creatures of Heaven and Earth, the passage's seal has no effect. However, if foreign beings attempt to forcefully enter or exit Heaven and Earth, they will encounter certain obstructions. Furthermore, not everyone can break through the Seal Strength. If one's strength is too great, it will provoke the suppressive power of Heaven and Earth. If one's strength is too weak, they will be directly obliterated by the passage's inherent power. Therefore, to enter the Heaven and Earth Passage, one's strength must be maintained at a point of equilibrium.

"Over three hundred years ago, the Seal Strength weakened to a critical point, allowing Demon Evils at the Demon Saint Level to infiltrate. Under the Demon Saint's Power Protection, all those below the Demon Saint Level could also enter Heaven and Earth. Now, the Seal Strength has weakened further. Before long, the restriction on Demon Gods will also drop to a nadir. At that time, Demon Gods will be able to withstand the pressure of Heaven and Earth and directly enter this realm. If that happens, it will be the Human Clan's doomsday."

Shen Changqing learned all this information piece by piece from the Mount Tai Prefecture Lord.

Once the latter finished speaking, Shen Changqing immediately asked, "May I ask, Senior, is there still any room for the Human Clan to turn things around?"

"The Heavenly Dao is fifty, yet forty-nine are utilized, always leaving a sliver of a chance for survival in all things. Although our Human Clan has reached this state, there is still an opportunity for a turnaround," replied the Mount Tai Prefecture Lord, his voice having calmed.

Hearing this, Shen Changqing cupped his fist and said, "Please enlighten me, Senior."

"It is both difficult and not difficult; it is easy and yet not easy. The solution is to find a way to mend the Ancestral Vein, causing nature's spiritual energy to recover. As long as Spiritual Energy recovers, the Heaven and Earth Destiny will also rise. At that time, the Seal Strength will be enhanced, and the Demon Evils will no longer have a chance to enter this Heaven and Earth. Apart from this, there is another temporary measure to buffer the situation."
