Chu Xuan was confused. Since they were not enemies, why did the human race of the nine zones not have any legends about the giant race?
Fortunately, Daoist Flying Cloud knew the answer to this.
When the giant race entered the nine zones, they were extremely powerful. They occupied large swathes of territory and protected the weak human race at that time.
This was not unnatural, as giants and humans looked identical other than the size difference.
Furthermore, after the human race had cultivated the body-tempering technique of the giant race, their bodies had started to become stronger, as well as larger, which reduced the differences even further.
The human race was born weak, but they were indomitable. They somehow survived the various calamities.
After that, a peerless Heaven's Blessed appeared in the human race. He cultivated the techniques of the immortal, celestial and demon races, and taught those techniques to other humans. Some even transformed into those races.
Thanks to this, the three races discovered that some of the human race's prodigies were talented. Thus, they began to spread their cultivation techniques and select prodigies from the human race.
This was viewed as a lucky opportunity for those humans, who would otherwise have to work hard on tempering their bodies. In a sense, it was a form of ascension to a 'higher' race.
Naturally, the giant race would not allow this to happen. They would not allow the human race to cultivate other cultivation techniques. This caused conflicts to arise, and they even started a war with the three races.
Unfortunately, the three races were the overlords of the nine zones, and defeated the giant race and forced them to retreat back into their own territory.
After a great dao era, the three races all had human race experts among their ranks. However, these experts no longer identified themselves as humans.
It was only when a peerless genius was born in the human race who created his own cultivation technique and passed that on that the human race started to become stronger.
Unfortunately, none of the other races wanted to see this happen, and the peerless genius was hunted down. There were also rumors that the giant race worked together with the other races to do this.
The genius was blessed by fate, but was chased into hiding for three Daoyuan, after which he became the human race's first Daoyuan realm expert.
He then embarked on a path of revenge and started a great war in the nine zones. Many races were exterminated, and the giant race was also defeated in this war.
For some reason, the giant race was even rejected by the Great Dao of the nine zones, and were forced to leave.
In that battle, the human race suffered heavy losses and they temporarily became a weak race again.
Chu Xuan sighed. That human genius was indeed awesome.
"Has that person died?"
He probably was, right?
How could the three races allow him to live?
Although Daoist Flying Cloud did not mention the three races' involvement, Chu Xuan was sure that the three races were behind the war against the humans.
"In the historical records of my race, that person was severely injured and disappeared. He did not appear for the next few eras, so there's a high chance that he died," Daoist Flying Cloud said with uncertainty.
Chu Xuan was enlightened!
Protagonists could not be considered dead just because they had gone missing. Such characters would eventually mount a comeback.
"The current overlord race of the nine zones is the human race. It is even possible that they will unify the nine zones after this Great Daoyuan calamity. How much does Fellow Daoist Flying Cloud know about the human race's pioneers?"
They were not in the nine zones now.
Had they gone to the Ancient Chaos World?
Daoist Flying Cloud pondered for a moment before saying, "In the last Daoyuan, a human saint appeared in the Ancient Chaos World. He was extremely powerful and might have already opened up a 30,000-mile Dao path."
"The human absolute saint fought a great demon and then left."
Pausing for a moment, he continued, "The human race is ostracized. Those who are ostracized are unable to enter the Ancient Chaos World."
Chu Xuan was stunned. The human race was excluded from the Ancient Chaos World?
"Why did you ostracize the human race?"
"It is all due to fate. I can't explain it clearly."
Chu Xuan rolled his eyes.
'If you don't want to tell me, then just say so. Why bother making up excuses?'
"Daoist Chu, why are you suddenly so interested in the human race?"
Daoist Flying Cloud asked curiously.
"I saw something interesting. I saw the corpse of a giant in the nine zones, as well as the scheme of some people."
Chu Xuan chuckled, as if he was hinting at something.
Daoist Flying Cloud was silent.
"I'm very interested in the human race. Can Daoist Flying Cloud tell me some secrets about the human race?"
Chu Xuan suddenly realized that the human race was not as simple as they looked on the surface.
It was weak, yet seemingly indomitable.
Where did all the human experts go?
At this moment, Chu Xuan even wondered if those people who had stretched their hands into the nine zones and secretly devised schemes were targeting the human race.
"I don't know much about the secrets of the human race…"
Daoist Flying Cloud declined.
"We can discuss the mysteries of the chaos later," Chu Xuan replied.
"Since Daoist Chu is interested, I'll tell you about it in detail."
"Then I'll have to thank Daoist Flying Cloud."
He then started to talk about the secrets of the human race that he knew, including some of the human race's saints and their grudges with the other races.
Chu Xuan listened quietly, occasionally asking a question or two.
He wanted to find some clues about the experts of the human race from these secrets.
Since the human race's powerful cultivators were ostracized by the various races in the Ancient Chaosi World and could not establish themselves there, where did they go?
They could not possibly wander the chaos forever, right?
The Daoyuan realm experts who remained in the nine zones were all juniors, and did not even know of the existence of their seniors.
Then again, this was true for humans, demons, and monsters.
There had to be a reason for this.
For some reason, Chu Xuan felt that there was a giant game of chess being played in the nine zones.
Was there really no one who knew about his Heavenly Dao Talisman plan?
Chu Xuan suddenly felt a little worried.
If someone knew about it, but did not stop him, what did they want to do?
Would they seize the fruits of his labor at the final moments.
If that was the case, he had to keep a low profile and not reveal his strength.
Even after he reached the Daoyuan realm, he had to remain vigilant.
