Chapter 1723 1722: The Future of Humanity

Students with insufficient cultivation were all given a holiday.

To make space for the gathering of high-level cultivators.

This was supported by all cultivators.

Around 10:00 AM.

Advanced cultivators from all over the world gathered in the Wanxian University's plaza. To be precise, there were nearly 100 people.

This number surprised everyone.

Because previous statistics showed that official data indicated only around thirty Heavenly Master Realm cultivators.

But, facing humanity's future unexpectedly brought many hidden cultivators here.

Of course, some cultivators hoped to take this opportunity to find a chance to break through to the Great God Lord realm.

Many relied on their innate talents to reach the Heavenly Master Realm. But after receiving information from Fang Yu, they hadn't broken through, leaving them eager to know how to do so, hence their attendance.

With such diversity, even among Heavenly Master Realm cultivators, there was much to discuss.

"I heard Fang Yu will personally lead this alliance to confront the Divine Race—is that true?"

"Of course it's true. This was an announcement by Wanxian University, which is the most authoritative university globally and the most coveted by all cultivators; it couldn't possibly be false."

"Indeed so. However, such a grand assembly implies a devastating attack from the Divine Race. Why not lead Heavenly Master Realm cultivators away from Earth to establish civilization outside the universe?"

"I don't like what you're suggesting. There are many other low-rank cultivators on Earth; are we just to abandon them all?"

"Even if we don't abandon them, they will be killed by the Divine Race arrows. Then, they will only drag us down. I'm just analyzing rationally. If we really can't resist the Divine Race, we could take the seed of human civilization and leave; why make meaningless sacrifices?"

"Unfortunately, your rationality won't get universal support. Humanity's greatness doesn't lie therein. I can't convince you, but when Fang Yu arrives, you'll understand."

In conversation.

Cheers erupted.

Fang Yu arrived.

Someone already looked over.

Everyone's gaze focused on the entrance.

Sure enough.

When Fang Yu appeared, he brought along his former subordinates, the Advanced Cultivators from Tiandu Mountain, and his beloved companions.

Including Chen Daotian, Lin Weifeng, Xu Huanwen, Xu Zhaopei, Xu Sisi, the Elf Clan Princess, and Princess Bai Yu—all present.

The women, each as beautiful as celestial beings, attracted a lot of attention.

However, when Fang Yu appeared.

All eyes went straight to Fang Yu.

Because they knew Mr. Fang was the real protagonist today.

When Fang Yu walked into the venue.

The place fell silent.

Fang Yu's gaze swept through.

He sensed everyone's cultivation present. Upon his personal confirmation, everyone's cultivation had at least reached the Heavenly Master Realm.

Yet, many were in the early stage, with a very severe situation.

Early Heavenly Master Realm couldn't compare with peak stages at all.

For these early-stage cultivators, the hope of breaking through to the Great God Realm was almost nonexistent.

After calculation.

At least half the people needed to be eliminated.

"Thank you all for coming to Wanxian University. I won't mince words. As the leader of this alliance, I have full command authority; now, I require absolute obedience to my orders. If anyone is unwilling to comply, you may leave the group now. I give you 30 seconds to think it over. Of course, don't rush a decision; 30 seconds is long enough to think it through. Alright, starting countdown."

Nobody expected.

For Fang Yu to employ this tactic.

Initiating a countdown directly on them.

This unexpectedly heightened their sense of crisis.

Many cultivators present knew that the Fang Yu before them had broken through to the Heavenly Master Realm long ago. Fang Yu's realm now would be deeper than theirs. Naturally, his purpose for coming had been thoroughly considered; otherwise, he wouldn't be here.

Isn't it just following orders? Everyone could still manage that.

Sure enough, the outcome was unexpected.

Among over 100 people present, not a single person left the group.

Reaching this realm naturally means having high awareness.

30 seconds passed in a flash.

Seeing that no one withdrew.

Fang Yu revealed a satisfied smile.

"Very good. Since no one left the group, I'll take it as you agreeing with what I said. Now, those I point out will leave the group voluntarily."

"..."

Everyone exchanged glances, uncertain of this statement's meaning.

That's when.

A series of powerful energy mantras appeared in Fang Yu's hand.

They flew toward the crowd like fireflies, causing no harm.

Those struck were new entrants to the Heavenly Master Realm.

Upon a careful count, there were over 50 people.

Those hit were utterly bewildered.

"Why us?"

"Yeah. We comply with orders, but at least give us an explanation. We also wish to contribute toward humanity's future, having come from afar, only to be kicked out; this doesn't seem right?"

"Indeed, Mr. Fang, what's right is right; you kept them and kicked us out—we comply, but please give a reasonable explanation."

The place erupted into chatter and discussion.

Even Ding Chunqiu didn't expect Fang Yu to make such a decision.

Because it was already quite difficult to gather them together.

Humans inherently possess some selfishness.

Coming here must mean wanting to contribute to humanity, even if some aim to break through their own cultivation.

This approach was quite perplexing.

Yet at this moment.

"I am not kicking you out of the group but letting you 50-plus people form a separate squad. The remaining 50 people will follow me to a special trial space. You fifty are recently initiated into the Heavenly Master Realm and cannot enter the trial space."

"Trial Space?"

"Yes, only cultivators reaching mid and advanced stages can enter this space to cultivate, having the greatest possibility to break through to the Great God Realm. The Great God Lord isn't something you can break through casually; I hope you understand. I've explained what needed to be explained; any more questions?"

The entire place was silent.

No words of dispute remained.

"I know you're dissatisfied, but you came; there will naturally be other rewards. You will enter another space to cultivate. Breaking through to the Great God Lord isn't realistic, but entering this space significantly benefits your cultivation. The harvest gained won't be any less than in the trial space."

"If that's the case, we will absolutely follow your orders!"

The cultivators present agreed unanimously.

Just then.

One cultivator spoke.

"I heard Mr. Fang broke through the Great God Lord realm long ago; we all wish to experience what the Great God Realm is like. Even if we cannot break through, at least we can feel it, preparing for our future. We hope Mr. Fang can grant this!"
