My Identity Is Becoming More and More Astonishing-Chapter 348 - 184 Who Says Humanity Has No Great Emperor? (Part 2)
```
It was another medicinal garden.
Only this time, there was a caretaker.
"Who?!" The old man sitting cross-legged on a wire suddenly opened his eyes wide, and his piercing gaze swept towards Chen Yu, "How dare you trespass into the humans’ forbidden place!"
"Hello." Chen Yu greeted politely, "What year is it now?"
Sensing that Chen Yu was a tough opponent, the old man leaped off the wire, wary, "Who are you? When did you come in?"
"What year is it now?"
"When did you come in?"
"Which year?"
"When did you enter?"
Chen Yu: "..."
The old man: "..."
Chen Yu: "How about we change the question at the same time?"
"...Fine."
"When did you come in?" Chen Yu asked.
"Three days ago," the old man answered.
"OK, I came in four days ago," Chen Yu smiled amicably, "Before your shift change."
"Who the hell let you in?" the old man asked cautiously, "What are you here for?"
"Fertilizing," Chen Yu started to spout nonsense.
Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in the old man’s eyes.
This was bad.
In the medicinal garden, all the steps of harvesting, fertilizing, and planting were completed by the "Holy Spirit Clan" themselves.
As a civilization that was subordinate, the human race had no right to touch them.
So this human in front of him was obviously lying.
"Has your Excellency finished fertilizing?" the old man asked, without changing his expression.
"Yep, all done," Chen Yu nodded.
"Then follow me, and I will escort you out of the forbidden area."
"Sure."
An old man and a young boy, one in front and one behind, each harboring their own cunning thoughts, walked out of the first layer of the "Human Ancestral Tomb."
The moment they reached the outside world, Chen Yu felt suddenly enlightened.
In front of him, there were green mountains and clear waters, blue sky and white clouds.
Accompanied by the pleasant chirping of birds and the gentle breeze on his face, he felt extremely comfortable.
’The holy temple is gone too.’
’It looks like I really have returned to thousands of years later.’
"Someone come!" Just as Chen Yu was lost in thought, the old man leading the way suddenly turned around, waved his hand grandly, and shouted coldly, "Capture this spy!"
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh——"
In the next moment, the four Transcendents standing guard around them immediately erupted with their abilities, their movements synchronized! They encircled Chen Yu in the center.
So swift was their response.
So agile their actions.
Still belonging to the elite of the elite.
But...
"Why are you all D-tier?!" Chen Yu exclaimed in shock.
That old man had said, this place was a human forbidden area.
A forbidden area... and they assigned a bunch of D-tier "trash" to guard it?
"Heh." However, the old man sneered, with the corners of his mouth curling upward, "The precious medicinal plants of the Holy Spirit Clan are of course guarded by top-notch fighters. Dare to steal our medicinal materials? You are courting death!"
Chen Yu: "???"
"Capture him!"
"Yes!"
The four D-tier "top-notch fighters" acted together.
With neat and tidy movements, they quickly subdued Chen Yu.
One grabbed his left arm.
Another grabbed his right arm.
Another held his left leg.
And another wrapped around his right leg.
Their restraints were so strong that Chen Yu was afraid that if he exerted any force, he might injure these people.
"Is this all?" the old man frowned slightly.
By his outer demeanor, he had thought this young man was at least a D-tier fighter.
He hadn’t expected him to be so weak.
He hadn’t even managed to erupt with any "abilities."
If he had known he was such a weakling, he would have captured him on the spot earlier.
"What’s happening?" A similarly white-haired old woman came running from a distance, her gaze sweeping between Chen Yu and the old man.
"Caught a thief, don’t know when he snuck in."
"A thief? Stealing medicinal plants?!" The old woman was astonished, "Such audacity! To even covet the property of the Holy Spirit Clan?"
"With the current turmoil, there are more and more who take desperate risks," the old man nodded and gestured to the four, "Take him away, to be dealt with by the Holy Spirit Clan."
"Yes!"
The four top-notch D-tier fighters responded in unison, controlling Chen Yu as they walked down the mountain.
"Young man." The old woman fell silent for a moment, then hesitantly spoke up, "Are you really a thief? Won’t you defend yourself? Once you’re sent to the Holy Spirit Clan, there may be no way out for you."
"Can I defend myself?" Chen Yu’s eyes lit up.
```
"Go ahead," the old woman nodded.
Chen Yu, "May I ask what year it is now?"
The old woman, "..."
...
"The flesh is heir to the bone, a gift from one’s parents. To meet such a ridiculous end is both sad and hateful!"
On the way down the mountain, one of the four strongmen guarding Chen Yu, his face ashen with anger, scolded, "What were you thinking? Daring to steal the Holy Spirit Clan’s medicinal materials? Have you lost your mind?!"
Chen Yu, in handcuffs that marked his special trait, smacked his lips, "I’ve got no brains."
"Sigh..." Another one sighed, "We were lucky, though, to run into the third elder on duty. If it had been the second elder, considering you didn’t actually manage to steal anything, he might have turned a blind eye. After all, it’s not easy for us humans to produce a Transcendent."
"Such a wasted life!" the first guard became even angrier, "Idiot!"
"That old man, is he the third elder?" Chen Yu asked.
"You should address him as ’Sir’."
"That sir, is he the third elder?" Chen Yu corrected himself.
"Yes."
"Oh! The second elder is that old lady," Chen Yu blinked.
"...Keep your mouth shut when we get to the bottom of the mountain," the guard suppressed his anger, "You might suffer less."
Seeing these people were quite "talkative," Chen Yu once again asked that question, "Do you know what year it is now?"
"The year 2242 in the Holy Spirit calendar," the guard frowned, "Do you really not know or are you just pretending?"
"Holy Spirit calendar...WTF." Chen Yu couldn’t help but curse.
In his era, it had been over two thousand years in the human calendar.
This meant that he had gone back at least four thousand two hundred years!
And furthermore.
What on earth was this "Holy Spirit Clan"?
He had never heard of it...
"By the way, could you enlighten me a bit more?" Chen Yu shifted his wrists, finding a more comfortable position, "Which race does the Holy Spirit Clan belong to?"
At this, all four men stopped in their tracks.
The leading guard turned around slowly, sizing up Chen Yu. After a long pause, he said, "Humans are a subordinate civilization to the Holy Spirit Clan. You’re asking which race the Holy Spirit Clan is?"
"Humans have been enslaved?!" Chen Yu was shocked.
The people around him, "..."
"He’s just pretending to be crazy," a guard who had been silent until now said impatiently, "Don’t mind him."
"Then the Great Emperor, he hasn’t been born yet, right?" Chen Yu quickly asked.
"Shut up! You think you’re like the Great Emperor!" The lead guard pulled out a bundle of rope from his chest and roughly wrapped it around the lower half of Chen Yu’s face...
It took fifteen minutes.
On guard, the four men finally brought Chen Yu to a three-story fortress at the base of the mountain. Continue your journey on novelbuddy
During this time, Chen Yu had also gleaned many important pieces of information.
Firstly, in terms of time, this place was at least four thousand two hundred years in the past.
Secondly, humans were extremely vulnerable and ruled by the so-called "Holy Spirit Clan."
Thirdly, the Human Transcendent Realm’s overall strength was incredibly low! The strongest among them "could even" fly...
Fly?
Chen Yu’s scalp tingled.
Normal Transcendents could fly once they reached Class C, right?
In other words, the most powerful boss among humans was only at Class C level.
In his own time, that was just someone at the level of Qingcheng’s garrison.
With a bit of effort, he could have peed them to death...
Fourthly, the so-called "Holy Spirit Clan’s" strength had reached a "terrifying" level where Class D were commonplace, and Class C were as common as dogs.
According to the lead guard, the chieftain of the Holy Spirit Clan fell within the legendary Class B "deity" category.
Even among the myriad races, it had a bit of a reputation.
With just a wave of their hand, the lives of ten billion creatures were under their control...
Chen Yu, "..."
Chen Yu, "Impressive!"

Having arrived at the stone fortress’s entrance.
The lead guard reported in.
After a brief wait, the two Class E experts guarding the door stepped aside, gesturing for the group to enter.
"Let’s go," the guard’s face darkened as he lowered his voice, "If you have any last words, now’s the time to say them."
"I don’t make a sound even when I dream," Chen Yu shook his head.
The people present, "..."
Entering the interior of the fortress and having walked through a corridor.
Chen Yu saw a pig seated above in the great hall.
A real pig.
With a snout, tiny eyes, ears large as fans, and six doughy folds hanging from its chest, it stared at Chen Yu unblinkingly.
"Great Spirit, the criminal has been brought here," the guard knelt on one knee, humbly bowing his head.
The Holy Spirit Pig lifted a hoof, scratched its fluffy face, and then, opening its mouth, spoke human language, "Is it you who stole my Holy Spirit herbal crops?"
"666," Chen Yu was surprised and pointed at the Holy Spirit Clan, excitedly telling the people on both sides of the hall, "Look! The old sow is talking!"
"!!!"
Everyone in the hall, their expressions changed dramatically!
