Fang Ming looked towards them and saw that they were the mission targets mentioned by the system.
The patriarch of the Yanwu tribe and the patriarch of the Mingyuan tribe.
It was said that the patriarch of the Yanwu tribe, whose tribal lands were adjacent to a Wu tribe, greatly admired physical strength.
Led by the Yanwu tribe, with many smaller tribes as their dependents, this faction did not believe that the physical prowess of the Heaven-Shielding Method could compare to that of the Wu tribe, nor that it could surpass the Golden Core Dao.
This faction questioned the legitimacy of the Heaven-Shielding Method.
As for the faction led by the Mingyuan tribe, with many smaller tribes as their dependents, they were simply dissatisfied with the abolition of the Golden Core Dao and held infinite reverence for the Grand Pure Sage.
Both patriarchs, being leaders of large tribes, possessed the cultivation of the Golden Immortal realm.
In Fang Ming's view, these two factions were unstable factors.
Of course, they would not dare to rebel or disobey orders.
But passive resistance was certainly within their capabilities.
Fang Ming surmised that if he instructed them to spread the Heaven-Shielding Method to their tribesmen, they would indeed do so, but only perfunctorily, without genuine effort.
This was not a good situation for Fang Ming.
While the development of the entire Human Race was not dependent on these two factions, they represented a tenth of the Human Race's population.
A tenth of the Human Race's population amounted to at least three to four hundred billion people, hundreds of times more than the Xuan Yang tribe.
Fang Ming, who could extract origin points from the development of the entire Human Race, would not let go of such a large population.
Furthermore, there was the reward from the mission: the chance to draw an Ultimate Emperor Weapon.
Any Ultimate Emperor Weapon was comparable to a Primordial Supreme Treasure, something even Saints in the Primordial Era might not possess.
Zhunti and Jieyin were still struggling with peak-grade innate spiritual treasures.
With an Ultimate Emperor Weapon, Fang Ming's wealth could even surpass that of the Two Sages of the West, a prospect he eagerly anticipated.
"Esteemed Patriarchs," Fang Ming began.
"Today, I have been recommended by the Three Ancestors to ascend to the position of Human Emperor."
"Firstly, my first future policy and development strategy for the Human Race is to abolish the Golden Core Dao and have all humans cultivate the Heaven-Shielding Method."
"Although the Golden Core Dao has provided some minor assistance to the Human Race in the past, it is fundamentally incompatible with the development of our race."
"Currently, the Golden Core Dao severely restricts the development of the Human Race, and it is time to abolish it."
As Fang Ming declared the abolition of the Golden Core Dao, discussions erupted among the Human Race members.
Observing the patriarchs' murmurs, Fang Ming, with practiced ease, addressed their various doubts, adopting the same attitude he had used when preaching in the Xuan Yang tribe.
Why did the Golden Core Dao restrict the Human Race?
Why was the Heaven-Shielding Method the most suitable for the Human Race?
Did cultivation speed with the Heaven-Shielding Method truly far surpass the Golden Core Dao?
All these questions were posed by the tribal patriarchs.
Fang Ming patiently provided answers to all their queries.
He expounded on the Heaven-Shielding Method with clear logic, dispelling the doubts in the hearts of the patriarchs.
In this manner, Fang Ming transformed the elder council into a preaching session.
The patriarchs listened with rapt attention, becoming as captivated by the Heaven-Shielding Method as the tribesmen of the Xuan Yang tribe had been.
"Magnificent Heaven-Shielding Method! The Human Emperor is indeed the Human Emperor, the Supreme Being of Humanity. The Dao method he imparts is truly wondrous!"
"This method is remarkably quick to master, with not only rapid cultivation speed but also an extremely high ceiling!"
"According to the description of this method, cultivating to the Great Emperor realm would grant power comparable to a Heavenly Dao Saint, placing one on par with Saints!"
"Saints! Saints! That is the ultimate attainment in heaven and earth. Our Human Race previously dared not even dream of becoming a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, let alone imagine ourselves achieving it. Yet, with this method, not only can we become Grand Unity Golden Immortals, but also Heavenly Dao Saints?"
"With the Co-Lord passing down this method, our Human Race will no longer suffer the slaughter of the demon race; we can counter-attack the demon race. The time for the Human Race's rise is at hand!"
...
For these patriarchs, whose cultivation ranged from Profound Immortal to Golden Immortal, even a Taiyi Demon Commander was an insurmountable foe.
The Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm was an achievement beyond their wildest imaginations.
Now, hearing Fang Ming's description of the Heaven-Shielding Method, they realized that with effort, they too could achieve power equal to Heavenly Dao Saints, and even reach the Heavenly Dao realm of Patriarch Hongjun.
The patriarchs were overjoyed, feeling that the rise of the Human Race was imminent!
Today marked the beginning of the Human Race's ascendance!
This Heaven-Shielding Method, with its logical coherence and interconnectedness, could not possibly be false.
It must be true!
The Human Emperor would never impart a false method to them!
The Three Ancestors had reviewed the Heaven-Shielding Method and unanimously deemed it genuine, suitable for widespread promotion within the Human Race to replace the Golden Core Dao as the sole cultivation method!
Our Human Race could finally escape the suffering of being slaughtered and manipulated by all races!
A patriarch from a small tribe recalled his elders and friends who had tragically died at the hands of the demon race, still vividly remembering the horrific scenes.
Among the three hundred and sixty-five demon god races, one was the Void Worm race.
They had directly tormented his childhood sweetheart, causing her to conceive a Void Worm bloodline. Ultimately, the young Void Worm broke free from her body, tearing through her womb.
It gnawed at her flesh bit by bit, heedless of her agonizing cries.
Finally, after an hour of wailing, the girl was completely consumed by the Void Worm larva, which, having devoured its mother, became a new life form.
Another infant was added to the Void Worm race among the myriad races of the Demon Court.
This patriarch had witnessed the event firsthand. At the time, he had desperately wanted to rush forward and rescue her, but facing several Golden Immortal level demon generals and a Taiyi Golden Immortal level demon commander, his initial Profound Immortal cultivation offered no resistance.
He was utterly powerless to exact revenge!
The wickedness of the myriad races of the Demon Court was truly beyond measure.
The patriarchs present harbored boundless hatred for the demon race.
Today, their suppressed hatred was rekindled by the Heaven-Shielding Method, igniting flames of rage and hope in their eyes.
Once they cultivated the Heaven-Shielding Method, they would exact revenge for their grievances.
They would utterly annihilate the myriad races of the Demon Court!
Blood debts must be repaid with blood!
...
Amidst these emotionally charged patriarchs, Fang Ming observed that the patriarchs of two large tribes, along with nearly a hundred patriarchs of smaller tribes under their command, appeared relatively calm.
These were the two major factions, led by the Yanwu tribe and the Mingyuan tribe, respectively.
Fang Ming immediately discerned that the people of these two factions were not immersed in the fervor of revenge against the demon race.
Clearly, they did not believe the Heaven-Shielding Method could lead them to victory against the demon race.
There was no hope of defeating the demon race in their eyes.
Fang Ming directly addressed them:
"Patriarch Yanwu, do you not believe in the Heaven-Shielding Method I am imparting?"
Fang Ming decided to address the Yanwu tribe first, then the Mingyuan tribe.
This direct approach, without beating around the bush, caused the other patriarchs to turn their attention towards Patriarch Yanwu.
