Chapter 264: : The Tampered History （Part 1）

“What I am about to tell you must never be spread, not even to your closest relatives! Otherwise, it will surely bring about a fatal disaster, and my clan will also be implicated. I hope you will keep it firmly in your heart.” Xiahou Zhengde looked at Lin Tianyi with a serious face.

“This junior understands!” Lin Tianyi nodded solemnly.

Thus, under Xiahou Zhengde’s narration, a piece of history that had been tampered with for countless years slowly unfolded before Lin Tianyi’s eyes.

In ancient times, Exotic Beasts roamed between heaven and earth, and the law of the jungle and wanton devouring were the main themes of survival at that time.

At that time, the Human Race was newly born, weak and vulnerable, like ants in front of Exotic Beasts with powerful strength, without any power to resist.

The Human Race could only huddle in caves and dense forests, avoiding the hunting of Exotic Beasts, relying on gathering wild fruits and hunting small beasts for a living, living in constant fear.

Because in the eyes of Exotic Beasts, the Human Race was weak and easy to hunt, and it was also the kind that was large and filling, which was the favorite of many Exotic Beasts.

In this way, they struggled through countless generations in despair and dark years.

A savior who saved the fate of the Human Race was born.

He revealed to people the reason why Exotic Beasts were so powerful, their source of power—Essence of Qi and Blood.

This power is hidden in the body of every living being. If it can be guided and used, it can explode with amazing power.

Under the guidance of the savior, a very small number of gifted Human Race people took the lead in awakening the Essence of Qi and Blood in their bodies and grew rapidly.

Finally, on a stormy night, facing the invasion of Exotic Beasts, this group of awakened people took action.

Although the power of the awakened ones was not strong enough, relying on the number of times greater than that of the Exotic Beasts, after paying a huge sacrifice, the Human Race ushered in the first victory in the battle with the Exotic Beasts.

This victory not only broke the Human Race’s long-standing fear and despair, but also brought them hope and light.

Facing Exotic Beasts, the Human Race no longer allowed them to be slaughtered.

As more and more people awakened the Essence of Qi and Blood, and even everyone had combat power, the Human Race raised their weapons against the Exotic Beasts.

Under the leadership of the savior, a war challenging the status of the master of heaven and earth broke out.

On the ground and in the sky, the Human Race and Exotic Beasts fought for every inch of space.

The individual strength of Exotic Beasts is strong, and the Human Race wins in its large number.

After countless years of war and sacrifice, the Human Race finally gained a firm foothold in the world and stood against the Exotic Beasts.

That once weak creature has grown into one of the masters of heaven and earth.

The savior of the Human Race retired successfully and suddenly disappeared from people’s sight.

But the past blood and tears made the Human Race destined not to stop there, they wanted to be stronger.

Stronger power, stronger weapons.

Powerful enough to eradicate the Exotic Beast, the nightmare of the past, in one fell swoop.

Against this background, the True Energy cultivation system was developed.

This is a cultivation method that is completely opposite to the Essence of Qi and Blood.

The cultivation of Essence of Qi and Blood is to nourish and strengthen the Physical Body in various ways. As the strength of the Physical Body continues to increase, the Essence of Qi and Blood that is condensed becomes more vigorous. Therefore, the focus of cultivation is on Body Tempering.

The cultivation of True Energy is that cultivators absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy into the body, and transform and generate True Energy in the body, and strengthen the internal organs and meridians by circulating True Energy to develop internal potential.

One is from the outside to the inside, and the other is from the inside to the outside. Although the cultivation directions are different, the power properties of the two are actually the same.

This also makes the two forces repel each other and cannot operate in the meridians at the same time. Only one of the two can operate.

Moreover, True Energy cultivation has a threshold. Only a small number of people can cultivate True Energy, unlike Essence of Qi and Blood, which everyone can cultivate.

However, these problems cannot conceal the role of True Energy.

Its power is no less than that of Essence of Qi and Blood, but it is more flexible and changeable in use, and has characteristics that Essence of Qi and Blood does not have.

It has strong extensibility, can enter other objects, and provide power bonus for weapons; it can enter other people’s bodies, either for healing, destruction, or investigation.

When cultivated to a high level, it can not only launch remote attacks from the body, but also develop another ability of the human body—Mental Strength, which makes the individual’s combat power more potential.

Then, the emergence of Magical Artifacts pushed the role of True Energy to a higher node.

These benefits prompted the Human Race to focus on cultivating True Energy.

With the infusion of a large amount of resources, a group of elites who cultivated True Energy quickly grew into the backbone of the Human Race.

Since then, the Human Race’s cultivation has formed two major cultivation systems: True Energy and Essence of Qi and Blood.

According to the different cultivation focuses, they are called Qi Cultivator and Body Cultivator respectively.

The power of the Human Race is unprecedentedly strong, and it has an overwhelming advantage over Exotic Beasts.

Just when the entire Human Race was in high morale, and the high-level officials were full of confidence and began to plan a full-scale war to wipe out the Exotic Beasts in one fell swoop.

An accident happened.

First, multiple Defensive Line points facing an Exotic Beast King’s Territory were breached, and a large number of Exotic Beasts poured into the Human Race Territory to wantonly kill. Then, several Human Race armies that rushed to support were ambushed and the entire army was annihilated. The Human Race suffered heavy casualties.

The high-level Human Race officials were furious and sent out a large army to retaliate, vowing to eradicate the Exotic Beasts in this area.

In the eyes of the Human Race, this attack will surely win easily.

However, the development of the war did not develop in the direction expected by the Human Race.

In the beginning, the Human Race army advanced triumphantly all the way, invincible.

But as they went deeper into the enemy’s formation, the army gradually dispersed, and the Human Race casualties increased sharply.

This was normal. There was no reason why there would be no deaths in war.

However, after the survivors brought back the news of the battle process, it immediately attracted the attention of the high-level Human Race officials.

First, they used absolute power to suddenly attack the High-Level Combat Power of the army, and after killing them, they led the Low-Level Strange Beasts to charge into battle.

Without the support of High-Level Combat Power, the army would naturally be unable to resist and would collapse in one battle.

Ambush, snipe, attack the weak with the strong.

When did Exotic Beasts learn to use tactics?

It is well known that Exotic Beasts will become enlightened when they grow to a high level, and their minds will be greatly opened in an instant, and the higher the level, the smarter they are, but having wisdom and understanding tactics are two different things!

What’s more, these tactics must be taught by someone, and there must be opportunities to learn and accumulate.

The high-level army officials were puzzled and heartbroken by the loss of High-Level Combat Power.

No matter how large the casualties of the bottom-level personnel are, they can be dispatched and replenished from the main camp at any time, but High-Level Combat Power is not the same.

These people are all elites who have been cultivated step by step in the war with countless efforts and resources. Losing one is losing one.

The Human Race also abandoned its old ideas and immediately regarded the Exotic Beasts as excellent opponents with equal tactical awareness, and began to deploy a series of countermeasures.

Luring and killing, traps, and small team raids yielded some gains, but they were insignificant for the overall advancement of the war.

How did the Exotic Beasts see through their deployment?

The high-level army officials could not figure it out, and finally had to attribute all this to the fact that there were countless Exotic Beast spies hidden deep in the enemy’s formation, who reported their changes at any time, so that the other party had the means to use their tricks.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain why the tactics of the Exotic Beasts change with their own changes.

No one suspected that there were internal traitors, because countless years of bloody history made it impossible for the Human Race and Exotic Beasts to collude.

Who would trade with their own food?

Helpless, the high-level military officials had no choice but to change their strategy again. After many discussions, they finally reached a unified opinion.

Concentrate all forces to attack the core directly, capturing the ringleader first.

As long as the Exotic Beast King is eliminated, the group of beasts will be leaderless, and then they will be defeated one by one.

So, the army gathered and charged towards the core.

Half a month passed, and bad news came from the front Defensive Line.

The army that went to avenge was defeated and suffered heavy casualties!

All the High-Level Combat Power were killed in action, and only one out of ten bottom-level personnel survived!

The bad news quickly spread throughout the entire Human Race Territory.

The high-level officials were furious! The Human Race was in grief!
