For three thousand years, the Human Race has never been as high-spirited as today.
They were dressed in various filthy clothes, unshaven, with clouded eyes and a rough complexion from working in mines.
Yet their faces were overflowing with excitent, all proudly looking up at their Emperor.
In comparison, the Emperor’s life was evidently much better.
He was plump, though his hair was a bit curly and balding, wearing a golden robe that shone brilliantly in the sunlight.
Holding the scepter, he raised it high in the air, and once the crowd quieted down, he joyfully raised his hand towards them and said, "Today, for the first ti in three thousand years, the Human Race ets in Jinzun City. Three thousand years ago, we left here. Who would’ve thought it would take three thousand years to return? This honor doesn’t belong to this Emperor, but to the Heavenly God who saved the Human Race on Aurelius. It was he who rescued everyone from the jaws of the Demonic Beasts, and he who made the chanical People cease their oppression. Fellow citizens, let this Emperor lead you in bestowing our highest reverence upon him!"
He turned around and solemnly knelt on one knee to Long Fei.
The people in the square below fell to their knees in an instant, all excitedly shouting, "Long live the Divine Beings!"
"Long live the Divine Beings!"
"Long live the Divine Beings!"
"..."
Jin Sanlang led many rebels, standing at the forefront with a hundred thousand ancients of Aurelius, with tears brimming in their eyes.
Long Fei raised the Emperor to his feet and signaled the people below to rise.
He looked at everyone, exuding a high spirit, "Today is a day to be rembered by Aurelius. From today on, all unequal treaties imposed on the Human Race by the chanical Tribe are abolished. From today on, we will be free to enter and leave any city on Aurelius. From today on, the Human Race will return to the pinnacle of all races, submitting to none."
"Mighty!"
"Mighty!"
"Mighty!"
"..."
The shouts from the crowd below were like thunder, echoing for a long ti.
The chanical Tribe’s expression remained unchanged, with their programs already embedded with unconditional compliance to Human rule.
No matter what the Human Race said or did, they would not have any emotional upset.
Machines are machines, and though they had gained self-awareness, they must ultimately return to their appropriate position.
After the crisis, the chanical Tribe quickly made room for humans to live in various cities.
However, the power struggle within the cities beca intense, with one faction led by the rebels under Jin San.
Another was the ancient faction from Aurelius, led by Jin Xiyao.
The last was the Emperor’s faction.
All three were contending for leadership of the Human Race.
Before the upper echelon could even speak, the people below had already turned from verbal disputes to physical confrontations over these rights.
Among them, the rebels had the greatest montum.
They fought the chanical Tribe from outside for three thousand years, finally witnessing the defeat of the chanical Tribe.
They couldn’t stand the compromising Emperor’s faction at all.
In their eyes, the Emperor’s faction had always been an accomplice to the chanical Tribe.
The returning disciples of ancient Aurelius were still unaccustod to their identities.
They had once been the elite aristocrats of Aurelius, only to return and find Aurelius in such a state.
It was humiliating to vie for power with descendants many generations removed.
While Long Fei was researching with the Nine Great Elders of the chanical Tribe on establishing a chanical People production factory in the Great Xia Country, the Elders deliberately showed the video to Long Fei and asked, "Master, take a look at your Human Race. They’ve just enjoyed so power, and they’ve already started internal conflicts. Do you think the future still belongs to your Human Race?"
Long Fei smiled lightly, "Survival of the fittest, that’s the natural law. It’s through this natural law that the Human Race can continuously purify itself. Once you chanical Tribe evolve to a certain point, you too will face such challenges. When your programs beco irreconcilable, a catastrophic war will inevitably break out, more intense than all the squabbles of the Human Race."
The Nine Great Elders remained silent, initially thinking Long Fei might be furious over this, yet he remained calm and composed.
The outside chaos greatly disappointed Jin Xiyao.
She ca running to Long Fei to vent and complained, just like the chanical Tribe Elders, lanting that the Human Race was finished.
Her face turned pale with anger as she downed two mouthfuls of good wine procured by Long Fei.
After she finished narrating, Long Fei asked with a smile, "What’s your plan?"
Jin Xiyao said, "What can I plan? People keep coming to ask to seize the Emperor’s throne, and I’m just sick of it."
Long Fei asked, "So what are your thoughts?"
Jin Xiyao looked at him seriously, "I just want to stay with you."
Long Fei coughed lightly and tapped her head, "You are indulging in romance."
Jin Xiyao giggled and asked, "You have a way, what do you suggest I do?"
Long Fei suggested, "Among the three factions of Aurelius, your faction is the strongest. It’s normal for your subordinates to desire leadership. However, you are not people of this era, and you lack popular support. Jin San has cultivated within the Human Race for years, leading them against the chanical Tribe; he is much admired. If I were you, I would choose another path."
Jin Xiyao raised her eyebrows, "What path?"
Long Fei replied, "Follow to a place with mountains, water, and greenery. Go there to continue fighting the Demon Race until the Human Race completely defeats them."
"That’s exactly what I an."
Jin Xiyao stood up excitedly and held Long Fei’s hand, speaking earnestly, "Wherever you go, I’ll go. I pledged my life to you when we wed."
Long Fei smiled, stroking her lovely face, "You can express affection here, but not at ho. I have a wife there I dare not provoke. Think carefully; if you go, it may be a long ti before we can et again."
Jin Xiyao said resolutely, "Don’t scare with your wife; no matter how you treat in the future, I will not change my resolve."
Long Fei sighed, having nothing more to say.
It’s all destined love!
After Jin Xiyao left, Jin Wu approached him.
The boy had been eavesdropping outside, already knowing the decision Long Fei made.
He asked, "Master, tell honestly, am I really not as good as Third Brother?"
Long Fei chuckled, "What, you also want to be the Emperor?"
Jin Wu said excitedly, "The throne rightfully belongs to as left by my father. Of all his sons, he favored the most; it’s only fitting for to inherit it."
Long Fei drank the half glass of wine Jin Xiyao left and said, "In extraordinary tis, this position requires soone decisive. You’re too slick, not suitable. Xiyao is too caught up in emotions, also not suitable. Only Jin San is suitable for his determination and decisiveness. With him watching over Aurelius, the Human Race will prosper."
Jin Wu hung his head, "But I’m your disciple?"
Long Fei responded, "That’s why I’m taking you back to the Great Xia Country. Later I’ll rely on you for the production and scheduling of the chanical Tribe there. The world is vast with great possibilities. Why cling to this barren land?"
Seeing Long Fei left no room for negotiation, Jin Wu thought following Long Fei might be for the best.
When Long Fei attains immortality, won’t he rise to fa with him?
Being smart, he didn’t dwell on it and imdiately showed a smile, "Alright, I’ll heed Master’s advice."
Long Fei smiled, sending him off to work on behalf of his father.
A crisis was thus resolved by Long Fei in a few words.
Soon after, the Human Sovereign announced his abdication through the chanical Tribe’s major dia outlets, passing the scepter to his third son, Filial Piety Jin Third Son.
