Chapter 1137: Emperor Xuanyuan
The Myriad Race Conference has been around for a long time now. In the beginning, only the four great demon races along with the immemorial races were eligible to participate.
These strongest creatures gathered to discuss the future while vying for their own interest. A contest took place at the same time for them to gauge the opponents’ power.
The strong were respected and gained more benefits. The opposite happened to the losers. Thus, only the best representatives were sent to the conference. It was a matter of honor and pride as well.
Eventually, more races were eligible to enter since they grew stronger. The original participants finally made a rule to let everyone enter and start a new name for the conference - Myriad Race.
It would also be held every ten thousand years or so with a rotating host.
In reality, some of the original participants made this exception in order to satisfy their own pride. After all, few things were better than stomping on the weaker races. They could also blatantly recruit tributaries and followers through this display of superior force.
This was just a natural order - the weak had to rely on the strong in order to survive.
Why did humans form kingdoms and dynasties? Because they needed the protection of stronger cultivators. On a smaller scale, this also applied to family units and villages.
The world was cruel, hence the need for protection and shelter.
During Time Immemorial, humans were weak and had to serve other races in order to survive. They worshipped dragons, phoenixes, qilins, and many others as gods.
This all changed with the appearance of a particular human - Emperor Xuanyuan.
