Urban Peerless Expert-Chapter 3024 - 3044: Right to Speak? A Little, Not Much!

Lin Chen was overwhelmed!

He had heard that these people already had their own families but didn’t take it seriously, thinking it was because the time was too long, and some people disliked being alone, so they gathered together for warmth.

Tens of thousands of years had passed, and it wouldn’t be surprising if the population had proliferated to dominate a planet.

How many years had it been in the Human World where he originally belonged, and to what extent had its population and scale developed?

What Lin Chen hadn’t expected was that this group aimed to create clans through marriage and childbirth, which meant the first few generations must have paid a huge price to form the clan more quickly.

It’s not easy for immortals to get pregnant.

"I admire the broad visions and ambitions of the seniors!"

The White-haired Elder’s previously excited face darkened a bit further, "There is a clan indeed, but we must rely on the Great Wilderness Palace to survive, otherwise, the Demon Race would annihilate us in minutes."

"The Great Wilderness Palace offers us protection, allocating us a certain territory, but in exchange, we also have to risk our lives for the Great Wilderness Palace. Officially it’s cooperation, but in reality, we have become subordinates of the Great Wilderness Palace, as we lack the power to negotiate with them."

"Fortunately, the Demon God Temple has never ceased its attempts to suppress the Great Wilderness Palace, and as their powerhouses diminish, our Human Clan filling their ranks also expands."

"We need the title of the Great Wilderness Saint to avoid large-scale sieges, while the Great Wilderness Palace needs our people to serve and counter the Demon God Temple. In sum, it’s a matter of mutual need."

Lin Chen nodded, "So, does the Human Clan have some influence within the Great Wilderness Palace?"

"A little, but not much."

The White-haired Elder replied with a bitter smile, "Compared to them, we have even less choice, so our influence is not significant."

Looking at Lin Chen who still stood in front of him, the White-haired Elder stood up and with hands behind his back said, "Let’s go, I’ll arrange a place for you to stay first. Settle down, and we’ll talk about the rest later. Once you understand, if you want to stay, you’re welcome to; if not, you’re free to leave. However, I suggest you stay; this is the only area in the entire Demon World suitable for the Human Clan."

Lin Chen nodded, "I will consider it carefully."

The White-haired Elder did not use any spells and just casually led Lin Chen into the thousand-meter-tall metal Main Hall.

"Is everyone in this building a member of the Human Clan?"

The White-haired Elder, without stopping his footsteps, calmly replied, "Yes, all the Human Clan powerhouses serving the Great Wilderness Palace have their own rooms here."

"We have an agreement with the Great Wilderness Palace that Human Clan members who haven’t reached the level of Daluo Immortal don’t need to serve the Great Wilderness Palace, as those below Daluo Immortal level wouldn’t be useful in battle; they would just be sending themselves to death."

Lin Chen realized, so he thought, no matter how tall this hall, how many Human Clan members could it host?

Tens of thousands of years of the Human Clan’s legacy couldn’t just amount to this few people, right?

It turned out that only Daluo Immortals were eligible to reside here, which made more sense.

The White-haired Elder calmly spoke, "The reproductive capability of the Human Clan is stronger than that of the Demon Race, but the proportion of those engaging in cultivation is much lower, and furthermore, the cultivation resources in the Demon World are incredibly scarce. Many who might have had the opportunity to become Daluo Immortals are unable to advance due to the lack of cultivation resources, and thus struggle all their lives."

"Otherwise, how could the many gifted individuals of our Human Clan fit into just one hall?"

Following the White-haired Elder, listening to his mutterings, Lin Chen arrived at a spacious room that looked like an office.

The staff inside were busy working and hurriedly rose to their feet when they saw the White-haired Elder come in.

"Elder Qi!"

The White-haired Elder, unconcerned, pointed at Lin Chen, "A soldier from the War God Mansion who escaped death from the Devil Flame Swallowing Heaven Formation, find a place for him."

"Alright!"

The White-haired Elder turned his head, "If you have any needs or matters, you can ask them."

After finishing speaking, the White-haired Elder left carefreely, appearing no different from an old man sunbathing at the entrance of a common community, yet Lin Chen was well aware that he was one of those who established this clan, one of the oldest in status.

With his seniority and strength, even if he were to stay at home, he would be served like an ancestor, but here he was acting as a gatekeeper, surely for some reasons. Whatever the reasons, his strength was definitely formidable.

Lin Chen did not rush to inquire about that woman; after all, he was not in a hurry and could slowly investigate.

Asking right away might easily arouse suspicions about his intentions.

Even though that woman did not possess the Yin Yang Water Fire Mirror, she might still be unwilling to reveal the manipulation method to him. He couldn’t just act rashly.

"Hello, please come over, we need to register you. What’s your name?"

Lin Chen turned and grinned at the young woman who had asked the question, "Gao Ming, Gao as in height, Ming as in intelligence!"
