Chapter 536: Houtu Enters The Underworld, The Time for the Rise of the Human Race Has Come
At this time, within the territory of the Wu Race.
Originally, the domain of the Wu Race was vast and boundless, filled with great cities scattered across the primordial lands. However, after the brutal war with the Monster Race, followed by the calamity brought by the Evil Gods and the rampage of wild beasts, most of it was reduced to ruins.
As a result, only Pangu City remained standing within the heavenly realm of the Wu Tribe. Of course, many Wu Race tribes were still scattered across the heavens.
"Elder Brother, the Prehistoric World has now been divided into Six Paths, and everything has changed. What should we — and the Wu Race — do now?" asked Zhurong, one of the Twelve Ancestors of Wu, in a solemn voice.
The Lich War had caused severe losses to the Wu Race, even greater than those suffered by the Monster Race. Because the Wu Race occupied vast lands, they were the first to be overwhelmed by the beast tide that poured out from the secret realms. Countless cities were destroyed, and untold numbers of tribesmen were slain. Now, the Wu Race had reached its weakest state.
Moreover, the Twelve Ancestors of Wu were all gravely wounded and could not recover quickly. It was the most vulnerable moment for their race. To survive, they had decided to consolidate their forces in Pangu City.
"Our Wu Race has always strived for self-improvement," said Di Jiang, the Space Ancestor of Wu, with resolve. "Even in the face of this catastrophe, we will not bow our heads. The most important thing now is to recuperate, allow our strength to return gradually, and avoid drawing the attention of other races. With time, based on our potential, we still have a chance to rise again as a peak race."
Even in defeat, he had not lost confidence in the Wu Race.
"Elder Brother, we cannot continue like this. We must take the initiative and seek out a new path for our survival," said Houtu, the Soil Ancestor of Wu.
