Grand Ancestral Bloodlines - Chapter 1994: Same Time

Ryu gave Ianjor a look while he rubbed his nose.

“Human Emperor, is it? Nice to meet you! lanjor said while clearing his throat.

“Human Emperor? Ryu asked with a cocked eyebrow.

“Don’t you mean Fey Emperor? Isn’t that what you’ve been calling him?”

Ianjor sent Ryu a glare.

‘Of course not, don’t listen to his nonsense, Human Emperor. I’ve heard great things about you.”

The Human Emperor smiled.

As easily as Ryu could tell, so too could he. When it came to anything related to the Human Race, he was highly tapped in.

Even if Ryu didn’t mention it, he would have a subconscious understanding of everything that had happened here.

Tanjor was quite sensitive to this as well, so when he first met the Human Emperor, his instinctual reaction was actually one of respect.

He could feel instantly that the caricature he had created in his mind wasn’t accurate. There was something about the gentle purity of the Human Emperor’s aura that couldn’t be denied.

Maybe any human but this cold-hearted bastard here would feel an instinctual closeness to him when they met Usually, lanjor would be put off by this feeling. But there was something so natural about it that he had a hard time feeling that way at all.

And this was definitely a surprise.

It didn’t take a genius to understand why lanjor had been raising up an army to begin with.

He had spent much of his life under the thumb of a man far more powerful than himself. There was nothing he hated more than a situation like the one the Human Race of this world was in.

He trained every day for just the smallest chance to skin Primus alive, so when he saw that his Human Race was actually being de-clawed in this place, when he wasn’t playing babysitter for Ryu’s wives, he was usually here, training them up.

They had been at it for almost two decades now, and it could be said that he had built up a few with a substantive edge.

But unfortunately… those with the strongest Dao Hearts, those with precisely the chance to become the seedlings that the Human Emperor was looking for, were also those most likely to join lanjor’s little army.

It could be said that any chance the Human Race had of raising up a replacement for the Human Emperor was destroyed thanks to lanjor.

Ryu couldn’t help but give him a thumbs up for his rare brand of foolishness.

Luckily for Ianjor, none of this mattered very much because with how things were, whether he had been raising this army for 20 years or 200 years, the difference wouldn’t be all that great.

They were still too weak.

Especially since Janjor’s… “training” wasn’t all that effective at all.

Ianjor didn’t have Ryu’s eyes or the Human Emperor’s insight. He had no method of training people other than working them hard.

And in the world of cultivation, unfortunately, hard work didn’t always equal results. Otherwise, there would be far more Dao Gods than there were.

Ryu couldn’t help but clap for Ianjor again.

“Well, at least you have spirit!

“Fuck you, Ryu. Some of us have hearts.”

“I think I’ve done more for this world’s Human Race in a couple of days than you have in 20 years.

I would show some more respect if I were you!”

“What the fuck could have possibly-!?”

Tanjor was about to fall right into Ryu’s trap, but he caught himself in the end. Since Ryu dared to say it, he probably had.

So, he turned to the Human Emperor instead.

“Don’t trust this bastard no matter what he’s done for you.

He’s shameless to an extreme, has no bottom line, and has a particular fondness for manipulating people into doing what he wants them to do.’

The Human Emperor chuckled lightly but didn’t respond.

“Either way,” Ryu moved on, seeing that lanjor wasn’t biting.

“Let’s get rid of the rabble first. Kill all of the Fey here.”

The Human Emperor just nodded and then vanished.

lanjor’s lip twitched. Why was this Peak Dao God listening to Ryu’s orders? Sometimes he hoped that for just once this smug son of a bitch wouldn’t have a reason to be smug.

The Human Emperor returned in no more than a few seconds. In truth, he didn’t have to disappear at all, but he felt that it would be more respectful to do so.

“Finished.”

“Good.

lanjor, bring the seedlings you ruined here”

“I did not ruin them.”

“All but.”

Tanjor shook his head and eventually came back with three people, two women and a man.

He knew Ryu well and knew that he wouldn’t waste time on useless people. The ruined seedlings should be the absolute best of the bunch.

Ryu observed for a small while.

They were all in the Omniscient Sky God Realm and all under 100 years of age.

All things considered, this wasn’t too bad.

Truthfully, he didn’t care about raising these people up.

He was only acting for two reasons.

First, he wanted the Human Emperor’s heart to be at ease.

This wasn’t just for the sake of his peace, but also for his cultivation. The Human Emperor needed confidence just like every other cultivator.

The more at ease he was, the smoother his cultivation would be.

Although he seemed to have reached the pinnacle of cultivation, there was always room for improvement.

Deepening his foundation, strengthening his Dao, mastering new techniques and methods… it could be said that the road of cultivation never truly ended, otherwise there wouldn’t be individuals as powerful as the Phoenix Sky God.

The second reason he wanted to do this was to see just how strong his eyes had become.

Three individuals on relatively mediocre paths, at least in comparison to himself, should be easy enough.

He scanned them for a moment and then his eyes flashed.

His finger rushed forward, and he touched them all on the forehead one after another.

In that instant, they all seemed to have reached enlightenment at the same time.

“Fuck you, Ryu. Some of us have hearts.”

“I think I’ve done more for this world’s Human Race in a couple of days than you have in 20 years. I would show some more respect if I were you.”

“What the fuck could have possibly-!?”
