Plop!
The Sword God spat out a mouthful of blood, and the Slaughtering Sword, which he could no longer hold, floated in the air, spinning protectively around its master.
Just then, Zhou Yang flew over and stood protectively by the Sword God's side.
"Master!"
The Sword God glanced back at him and smiled, "As long as you're alright, let's go back to the academy."
Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment. He looked around and found everyone eagerly anticipating something, but he didn't ask any questions and followed the Sword God as they flew towards the academy.
After they left, the people at the scene stood frozen in place, staring at the Sword God's receding figure, unable to snap out of their daze for a long time.
The Sword God's arrival and departure like the wind left them somewhat at a loss.
Finally, under the leadership of the Elder, everyone respectfully bowed towards the direction the Sword God had left.
"Sword God, thank you!" Few words, but filled with genuine emotion.
After the Sword God had gone far, everyone's expressions varied. Some felt as if they were dreaming, while others showed joy and danced with excitement.
The scene of the Sword God shattering the spatial vortex was captured on camera and uploaded online, immediately sparking widespread heated discussions.
Countless people were moved to tears of excitement, spreading the word and sharing their joy with more people.
"Senior Sword God is too cool. I'll never forget the grace of that sword strike in my life."
"The Sword God is a hero, always appearing at critical moments. He's the best!"
"I want to learn from Senior Sword God and become a great hero who can turn the tide in the future."
"Get real. With your B-rank talent, you think you can become a great hero? You can't even reach the level of a mere bear."
"Why are you cursing? Senior Sword God also only had B-rank talent before, but now he's SS-rank and is the most hopeful existence among our human race to achieve godhood."
"Becoming a god isn't that easy."
"That's right, the Blue Star doesn't allow godhood, as you all know."
"Experts say that the energy particles on the Blue Star are increasing, and in fifty years, it will be able to accommodate divine beings."
"Can you trust what the experts say?"
"..."
The online discussions were extremely lively.
They shifted from discussing the current situation to envisioning the future.
Some, exercising their imagination, proposed time estimates for when the Blue Star might be able to accommodate divine beings.
However, everyone knew that these were just speculations, and many were even made playfully.
In any case, this battle brought about a very positive influence, and even races like the Heavenly God race were caught up in the celebrations.
Not only that, but neighboring races, upon hearing the news, all showed expressions of shock.
Some proactively offered goodwill, while others silently withdrew from the area.
At this time.
Titan Snake Tribe.
In a canyon.
Many enormous snakes were coiled on small hills, a magnificent sight from afar.
All the snakes fell silent upon hearing the news.
When they had refused to support the human race, they had understood in their hearts that the human race was no match for the alien beasts, as the gap was evident upon comparison.
However, the outcome had exceeded their expectations.
How could this not shock them?
Leading them was a black Titan snake, extremely massive, with a body length of over a thousand meters. It was also the strongest in the tribe.
Three hundred years ago, it was a snake raised by humans and had narrowly escaped becoming a dish on the human table before the great cataclysm.
However, when the cataclysm struck, it seized the opportunity to escape, and by chance, awakened its Titan snake bloodline. Later, it gathered other snakes and became the leader of the tribe.
It hated humans and considered them enemies.
At this moment, its face was grim, and it inwardly cursed the alien beasts for their incompetence in failing to exterminate humanity.
"Hmph, this human race is too lucky! And those Heavenly God races and others, they are so foolish to help the human race!"
A golden Titan snake beside it said, "Humans were once the rulers of the Blue Star, the only intelligent beings, and they have their own destiny. It's understandable that they weren't wiped out by creatures from other worlds."
It had been a pet of the human race and had a very good relationship with its former owner, so it leaned towards maintaining good relations with humans.
Another white snake chuckled, "You guys, stop being so confrontational. Since the human race has won, and that Sword God destroyed the spatial passage, aren't you all shocked?"
They were indeed shocked, but as males, they were unwilling to show it in front of the females.
"Hmph, if I had acted, I could have destroyed it too!" the black snake said unhappily.
The golden snake retorted, "The Sword God is already at the demigod realm. You are still far from it!"
"You..." The black snake glared with anger, and the golden snake glared back.
The white snake intervened, "Alright, stop arguing. We don't have too much of an enmity with the human race. Although our forms are different and we cannot become natural allies, we can still sign a non-aggression pact. What do you think?"
The difference in form became an obstacle to an alliance between the two races.
After all, similar to the alien beasts, if humans surrendered, they would likely not become subordinate races like the Thousand Feather Tribe, but rather be kept as pets or food.
"Those of different species will have different hearts" is an irrefutable truth.
Although there would be exceptions, they did not believe that such exceptions would fall upon them.
This was like a dark forest; absolute trust was almost impossible to obtain between different races.
The black snake objected, "No! I disagree! Talking peace with the human race? Absolutely not!"
The golden snake chuckled, "I agree!"
The white snake also chuckled, "I agree too!"
The black snake was furious, "You guys..."
The golden snake laughed, "This is beneficial to us. Humans won this battle. Think about all those alien beast corpses. With their technological prowess, how much equipment and other items will humans be able to create? They will surely need to trade with neighboring races, and our Titan Snake Tribe is in need of these supplies!"
The white snake echoed, "Let's make friends. It's all good with no harm!"
The black snake glared angrily but finally lowered its snake head under the gentle gaze of the white snake.
"Friendship is acceptable, but if the human race dares to harm our tribe, I will not tolerate it!"
"Agreed!"
After their discussions, they sent an envoy to the human territory.
Treant Tribe.
At this moment, a group of towering trees revealed expressions of astonishment.
The tallest giant tree, reaching a thousand meters high, exclaimed, "Unexpected! The human race actually won!"
They hadn't supported the human race initially because the human race was too weak compared to the alien beasts. At that time, it considered observing the situation to be an extremely wise decision, but who could have imagined that the human race would win?
"Esteemed ones, how should we face the human race?"
An ancient giant tree emitted a hoarse voice.
"The foundation of the human race lies in this person, the Sword God! I feel that the Sword God already possesses demigod power. He is one of the few existing beings on this vast Blue Star!"
"With the Sword God present, the human race is likely to embark on a path of conquest. We should befriend them in advance, otherwise the consequences are unpredictable!"
A tree spirit raised a dissenting opinion.
"Ancient one, your words are mistaken. Humans and our race have different forms and different ways of doing things. There will inevitably be many conflicts, and it will be difficult to become allies."
The Ancient one chuckled, "Then why did the Fire Crow Tribe support the human race? And the Lich?"
The young tree spirits were speechless. The dispute over forms was the natural theory used by various races to distinguish allies from enemies, but it could not be taken as absolute truth.
At this moment, the tallest tree spirit said, "The human race and our race have different forms, so our race naturally cannot become allies with the human race. However, we can engage in trade with the human race, deepen mutual understanding, and then sign a non-aggression pact. What do you think?"
"Excellent!"
"Then let's send an envoy to the human territory to negotiate this matter."
