Chapter 872: Adamant City
Thus, Jin Miaosen could hardly be any more valuable—both to her clan and to outsiders. Though the Grand Elder did not get along with her, he would never want her to fall into the hands of others. Thus, ever since she was a young sapling, she had been strictly forbidden to leave the inner city.
For decades, Jin Miaosen had been cooped up in the small inner city, and she had become quite frustrated. Now that she could finally leave with full approval, her excitement was by far the strongest among the elders present. She was constantly looking around, thrilled by everything she saw.
Sensing her genuine excitement, Tang San couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He had developed a bit of fondness for this little sister of his. It wasn't just because of the bloodline imprint she had bestowed upon him, but also out of a sense of responsibility to the Blue Gold Tree clan. Having gained so much from the Ancestral Tree, he sincerely wanted to give back to the clan. It was also a way to maintain harmony with the planar ruler and pave the way for his future ascension to Emperor.
Unlike most other demon and nymph clans, the Blue Gold Tree clan had never harmed others; rather, they had only been harmed by others. Since the Ancestral Tree fell into slumber, this once powerful clan had suffered constant bullying. Were it not for the presence of the Ancestral Tree's true body, the benefits they offered to other clans might have already led to their extinction. They were forced to endure a life of great hardship.
Now that Tang San had awakened the Ancestral Tree and gained immense benefits from it, it was time for him to give back to the Blue Gold Tree clan. This would achieve several goals: repaying the Ancestral Tree, strengthening his relationship with this plane, ensuring the continued survival of the life-rich Blue Gold Tree clan, and laying the foundation for future cooperation between this clan and humanity.
During his time with them, Tang San had learned that this clan had never enslaved others. They were born to continuously release their life aura, gather life energy, and then spread that energy throughout the world. This was the core mission left behind by the Ancestral Tree. Even the selfish Grand Elder only sought to become stronger without harming others.
If humans could maintain a good relationship with the Blue Gold Tree clan in the future, it would greatly benefit the propagation and survival of the human race.
Though humans were already among the larger vassal races on the Daemon Continent, their numbers still paled in comparison to the vast populations of the demon and nymph clans. According to Tang San's estimates, even if all the humans were counted together, their population would only number in the millions. Humans had suffered too much oppression on this plane. But human reproduction and survival would become much easier with sufficient life energy to nourish them. An adequate population was crucial to the rise of humanity on this plane.
This journey was not only for Tang San to break through and find his path to becoming an Emperor but also to find the most suitable path for human development. Over many years, demons and nymphs had accumulated so much fortune that they had become incredibly powerful on this plane. Although they only dominated this continent, it was not wrong to say they ruled the entire land. To carve out sufficient space for humans to survive, and even surpass them to become the masters of this plane in the future, humans would need more than just their own strength.
Jin Miaosen flew joyfully through the sky, zigzagging and darting forward and back, occasionally letting out cheers. Her life energy radiated continuously in the air, purifying the atmosphere wherever she passed.
The other elders followed Tang San, and although they didn't express their joy as openly as Jin Miaosen, each of them carried a sense of relief and excitement. After spending so many years confined to a small corner of the world, how could they not feel a mountain of frustration? Now, as they left Skytree City, they felt a renewed sense of vitality, and without realizing it, their auras started to shift slightly.
