After settling Zhang Yukun’s matter, Zhou Shu quickly returned to the Xu Ling

Grotto-Heaven.

When he returned, Wang Xuanyi, Diao Moye, Ji Lutian, the Qingqiu King, his trusted aides, Meng Bai, Mi Ziwen, Yang Hong, Sun Gongping, Xiao Jianghe, Wang Xin, and others were already waiting for him.

It was not an exaggeration to describe these people as old. weak. sick. and disabled.

They were clearly the most powerful group of humans, but now, they couldn’t even sit straight.

Ji Lutian, who was the most seriously injured, looked like he could breathe his last at any moment.

He absorbed the faith of all living beings and forcefully repelled Zhan Jingtao. This almost took his life.

He was lucky to be able to survive.

He would no longer be able to fight for the time being.

Wang Xuanyi’s situation was not much better than his.

In order to sever the Dragon Boat, he had also injured his origin. Especially the last attack he made when he possessed Zhang Yukun, it had almost destroyed his soul.

As for Yang Hong’s and Sun Gongping’s puncture wounds, they were relatively minor injuries here.

Seeing Zhou Shu, everyone forced a smile.

Although it was extremely miserable, they won in the end.

They had forced back the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom’s invasion.

“Your Highness, why did you urgently summon us back?” Yang Hong asked.

“We still have the strength to fight. We’re about to quell the beast tide.”

“Don’t worry about the beast tide. Yao Qing has gone to settle it,” Zhou Shu said. “Now that the matter of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom has been temporarily resolved, the demonic beasts won’t be able to do anything.”

Zhou Shu’s expression was incomparably serious. He looked at everyone and said solemnly, “I called everyone here because I have something to discuss with you.”

Everyone was slightly stunned and asked, “What is it?”

“Everyone, although the Ten Imperial Cauldrons have blocked the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, this method can’t solve the problem fundamentally.”

There were no outsiders present, so Zhou Shu didn’t beat around the bush.

“The human race is still on the line of life and death.

“Everyone has personally experienced the previous battles. The strength of our human race is far from being a match for the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom. “That’s why I’m wondering if we should leave a seed for the human race.”

“Zhou Shu, do you mean to arrange for some people to escape from the ancestral land?” Ji Lutian said weakly. “I’ve thought of this method, but to be honest, where can they escape to?”

Ji Lutian smiled bitterly.

Apart from the ancestral land, the other heavenly kingdoms treated the human race as the remnants of the Heavenly Court. Once they were discovered, they would chase after them until they died. Where could they escape to?

There was no pure land in this world.

Moreover, Ji Lutian had not found a way to leave the ancestral land.

“Any of the five heavenly kingdoms will do,” Zhou Shu said. “I’m thinking of choosing a group of young people from the human race and implementing the Kindle Project. I’ll send them somewhere in the five heavenly kingdoms.

“In that case, we can fight to the death with the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom. Since they want to invade the ancestral land, we’ll let their efforts go to waste!” Boundless killing intent shot out from Zhou Shu’s eyes.

“The same problem lies here,” Wang Xuanyi said. “The five heavenly kingdoms are not a paradise. There is no place for us humans to live there.”

“Have you forgotten about grotto-heavens?” Zhou Shu said solemnly. “The remnants of the Heavenly Court are naturally not tolerated by the five heavenly kingdoms.

“But what if it’s a sword?”

Before Zhou Shu finished speaking, everyone’s gaze landed on the Longevity Sword, Shi Changsheng.

Shi Changsheng’s sword had indeed fallen into Zhan Jingtao’s hands.

Zhan Jingtao didn’t destroy it. Instead, he brought it with him.

If the Longevity Sword hid in five heavenly kingdoms, no one would care.

As for the human race’s seed, it could just be hidden in the grotto-heaven in the Longevity Sword.

“Zhou Shu, do you mean for me to escape with people?” Shi Changsheng’s eyes widened. “Have you ever thought about what to do with them in the future?

“The world inside a divine weapon is only a small world. It can’t withstand the development of a race for millions of years. Sooner or later, they will have to come out.”

Shi Changsheng said seriously, “At that time, if the human race has already been defeated, how much can they do?”

Zhou Shu shook his head. “We’ll leave the future matters to our descendants. We’ve already left behind a seed, but whether this seed can become a prairie fire in the future or be extinguished is not something we can control.”

“I think we can give it a try,” Diao Moye said.

The Qingqiu King nodded. “I have no objections.”

“Of course we have no objections. We’ll follow Your Highness’s lead.” Yang Hong, Mi Ziwen, and the others spoke up.

Zhou Shu said in a deep voice, “Since no one has any objections, let’s do it.

“Everyone, split up and choose the candidates for the Kindle Project. Now that something has happened in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, they have no time to care about us. This is our opportunity. Take this opportunity to choose the candidates.. When the time comes, I’ll find an opportunity to send the

Longevity Sword out!”
