I, Ye Chen, turned out to be a top expert

Chapter 1207 The Human Race Should Be Immortal

“I am not a god. I am just a mortal like you.”

Ye Chen saw the figures kneeling in a row and a look of heartache appeared on his face.

Ye Chen knew that these humans desperately needed to be saved. They longed for a new life, but their hearts were filled with fear, a result of long-term oppression.

"No, you are a god. We have all witnessed it today. You are protected by the heavens. Even the high and mighty sea creatures cannot harm you in the slightest. You are a god."

"Please, Gods, save us and lead us away from this sinful land."

"Please, Gods, save us!"

"Please, Gods, save us!"

At that moment, everyone kneeling on the ground looked terrified.

Some people even forcibly forced those ignorant children to kneel down.

Seeing this scene before him, Ye Chen's expression became even more sorrowful. Ye Chen knew very well that these people had long lost the will to resist under the long-term oppression, or they didn't even dare to have the thought of resisting. They didn't think of resisting, but rather of escaping.

I felt that the only way to survive was to escape from here.

"No, I am just a mortal."

"But I have an immortal heart!"

"I have a heart that dares to draw a sword against the sky."

"Humanity should be immortal. We need an immortal belief and the ambition to dare to fight against the heavens and find endless joy in it."

"They are also human beings. Before they embarked on cultivation, they were just ordinary mortals, no different from you."

Ye Chen's voice rang in everyone's minds in that instant.

Ye Chen knew that saving these people didn't mean taking them away. On this boundless sea, Ye Chen was well aware that there might be countless people, and how many could he possibly lead away?

To truly save these people, we need to give them opportunities and courage.

Only by giving them enough courage and boldness can we fundamentally save these people.

Moreover, even if these people were taken away from here, it would still be a disaster for them. Humans, who have been oppressed for a long time, would soon be enslaved by others even if they were relocated.

After all, the struggles outside are not much different from those here. At most, it's about escaping the fate of being eaten, but being enslaved doesn't change these people's destiny.

Ye Chen knew very well that the only way to fundamentally change these people was to give them faith.

Let them ignite an inextinguishable flame and an immortal heart.

"No no no..."

"Please, Gods, save us! Please, Gods, lead us away from this sinful land! Otherwise, we will die. Gods have killed too many sea creatures. We will all be cruelly killed and turned into food by them."

"We don't want to die! We don't want to die!"

However, after Ye Chen's voice fell, he was not met with enthusiasm from these people, but rather with immense panic that instantly filled those who had once held onto hope.

These people are afraid of being abandoned, afraid of being forgotten, afraid of being enslaved again.

"Quiet."

In that instant, the dragon and snake couple saw that some of these people's expressions had become somewhat ferocious. Feeling that they were about to be abandoned, they lost control of their emotions, and their cold voices rang out in the void, with an incomparably terrifying aura pressing down.

The scene quieted down thanks to the combined efforts of the dragon and snake couple.

Seeing what had just happened, Ye Chen's expression became extremely solemn.

"These people have been suppressed for too long, and there is fear, anxiety and despair in their hearts. It is too difficult to ignite the spark of hope in them."

With that thought in mind, Ye Chen made his decision.

Ye Chen knew that saying anything to these people was meaningless; what they needed was something tangible. Only by providing them with real spiritual support and encouragement would they be willing to listen to him.

Ye Chen used the power of merit to suspend himself, and his body slowly rose into the air.

His gaze fell upon these people, who were also staring intently at Ye Chen.

"Everyone, I am not going to abandon you, but to save you from the root. You have just witnessed their strength. They will stay here and protect you."

"And they will not leave."

"Moreover, I will stay here for some time. If the sea creatures dare to come here, I will make sure they never leave."

Sure enough, the moment Ye Chen's voice fell, the panic and unease in the hearts of those present slowly disappeared.

"Thank you, God! Thank you, God!"

Those kneeling on the ground wept with joy.

Ye Chen could naturally sense the emotions in the hearts of these mortals, and his expression was complicated.

"Dragon and Snake couple, would you two be willing to stay here and protect the human race?"

"These people have been enslaved for too long, and their hearts are filled with longing for a new life. If you are willing, then protect them here!"

"Of course, this also depends on your willingness. If you are not willing, that's fine too. However, I hope you will stay here for a while, and then someone will come to replace you."

In that instant, Ye Chen's gaze fell upon the dragon and snake couple.

Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, the Dragon and Snake couple did not hesitate at all, because they felt that Ye Chen's encounter with them and the subsequent improvement of their cultivation levels might be part of a scheme.

The Dragon and Snake couple felt that Ye Chen must have a plan for how they, as a couple, would survive and how they would thwart the sea creatures' counterattack.

The couple exchanged a glance and immediately knelt down on one knee.

“Our lives were given to us by you, young master. If it weren’t for you, we would have turned into bones long ago, or perhaps we would have been completely destroyed. Now, we have been able to recover and even improve. This is a great favor from you, young master.”

"Moreover, saving these people is something my wife and I want to do."

In that instant, the dragon and snake couple made their stance clear.

The humans present heard the dragon and snake couple's statement. They had just seen the dragon and snake couple transform into golden dragons, so they naturally knew how powerful the couple was.

The dragon that the dragon and snake couple transformed into was different from the sea dragon; in their eyes, that was the totem of the human race.

The dragon and snake couple did not conceal their voices, and at this moment, the unease in the hearts of the humans dissipated somewhat.

Ye Chen smiled wryly. Sure enough, for these people, straightforward things are what truly give them peace of mind.

Ye Chen knew that it was about time, so he said loudly, "Everyone, from now on these two powerful cultivators will stay here. They will teach you how to cultivate, and anyone with talent will be able to enter the ranks of cultivators."

"Then I can slay demons and monsters, protect myself, and protect my family."

"Humanity shall be immortal."

"In the beginning of time, our human race was also in a weak position, but our human king overcame all obstacles and led the human race to the peak."

"Nowadays, as long as we have an immortal heart, we will naturally become immortal mortals."

“In the future, those among you who are unable to cultivate will be taught to read by someone here, and perhaps then you will be able to join the ranks of cultivators.”

"We need to trace back to the source."

"Learn from the sages and worthies of the past."

As Ye Chen finished speaking, his gaze fell upon an enormous stone tablet on the island. The purpose of this stone tablet was unknown, and it was incredibly large.

However, there were no words on this stone tablet at the moment.

Ye Chen activated his power of merit, and his fingers slowly moved. In the next moment, large characters appeared on the stone tablet.

"Tracing back to the source, humanity shall be immortal!"

These few large characters, with their restrained divine light, looked ordinary, but at that moment, the dragon and snake couple's breathing became extremely rapid.

Because within these words, they sensed an incredibly terrifying divine essence.

If they could grasp the essence of these words, they would definitely be able to reach an unimaginable realm.

Moreover, these words also contained an extremely terrifying will. The dragon and snake couple knew very well that as long as the stone tablet stood, the island would stand between heaven and earth.

Unless a being far more terrifying than Ye Chen appears and destroys this island.

The dragon and snake couple's eyes lit up. They knew that Ye Chen would definitely leave something behind to protect them and the people on the island.

"Humanity shall be immortal!"

"Humanity shall be immortal!"

In that instant, those who were kneeling on the ground immediately stood up, waving their arms with fanaticism on their faces.

Although these people had been enslaved for a long time, they still knew about cultivators, after all, those people from the sea tribe were demon cultivators.

The thought that I could cultivate and change my destiny filled me with joy.

"Xiao Yang, from now on, the education here will be in your hands."

"There must be many people like this on this vast sea."

"If this place is given new life, it should be able to gain immense merit."

Ye Chen's gaze fell on Xiao Zhan, who was standing to the side.

“What you say is true, young master. The establishment of the thatched hut is to teach the human race. Young master, rest assured, this matter will be implemented soon, and the people of the thatched hut will soon go here.”

"I have already sent a message to them."

Hearing Xiao Yang's words, Ye Chen nodded.

Ye Chen's gaze fell on these humans, and he clasped his hands together, "I wish you all to be like dragons, I wish you to stand between heaven and earth, I wish you to change your destiny from now on."

The dragon and snake couple standing next to Ye Chen, Xiao Yang and Feng Lin, trembled violently upon hearing Ye Chen's words.

Their eyes widened in disbelief, for in that instant, they felt a surge of profound and mysterious power descend upon them.

These people rarely had spiritual roots, but in this instant, it was strangely discovered that a Great Dao spiritual root had been born out of thin air within their bodies.

These people originally had extremely lowly destinies, but in this instant, a trace of immortal power was wrapped around their destinies.

Even though the Dragon and Snake couple knew that Ye Chen was unfathomable, at this moment, their bodies couldn't help but tremble, their faces filled with disbelief. The scene before them was too shocking for them.

Feng Lin, standing to the side, was even more shocked than before. She pinched her thigh hard, thinking that what she was seeing was an illusion.

However, the pain in her thigh made Feng Lin realize that what she had witnessed today was not an illusion, but reality.

The three of them couldn't help but look at Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang's voice rang in the minds of the three, "Young Master has cultivated the Great Wish Technique, ranking second among the Three Thousand Great Daos."

Upon hearing this, his body trembled violently.

His pupils contracted sharply.

My heart was pounding uncontrollably, like a war drum.

The Great Wish Technique.

Just four words were enough to leave the three of them dumbfounded.
