Back when the Tianyuan Sacred Realm was upgraded to a Lesser Thousand World, Blood Battle City was separated from the entire human territory because it was located in the southern gap of the Origin Mountain Range.
Within a long distance surrounding Bloodbath City, apart from a few scattered demons living in the Origin Mountains, intelligent life exists only within Bloodbath City itself.
In the initial period, after discovering that they had been separated from the rest of humanity and isolated in Blood War City, the countless humans in Blood War City began to panic.
Panic spread among the human race, and at the same time, a powerful orc skilled in illusion escaped from prison. Under his instigation, a large-scale riot broke out among the humans and a small number of orcs in Bloodbath City.
In that turmoil, countless humans perished, but in the end, it was Xuanyuan, who had lost his way in the future, who stood up.
Having already broken through to the Martial Core Realm, Xuanyuan, together with several of the strongest individuals in Blood Battle City at the time, launched a bloody suppression against his clansmen who were already in turmoil.
Finally, after killing the orc warrior who had escaped from prison, Xuanyuan, relying on his past prestige, slowly calmed the panic among the people of Bloodbath City.
After the turmoil was quelled, Xuanyuan, whose hands were stained with the blood of his people, hated himself intensely. He had the idea of committing suicide several times to atone for his sins to the dead people.
Finally, with countless clansmen placing their hopes on him, Xuanyuan had no choice but to take up the banner of Bloodbath City and once again shoulder the future of his people.
After that initial turmoil, the losses in Bloodbath City were already extremely heavy.
Not only did a large number of their people lose their lives, but several of the dwarven masters of weapon crafting and alchemy also perished.
The dwarven warriors and countless dwarven artisans who once assisted the human army in defending against the orcish invasion in Bloodbath City have mostly perished in this turmoil, with very few remaining.
Under the desperate destruction caused by that orcish powerhouse, the various military and civilian supplies and a large amount of precious resources stored in Bloodbath City suffered heavy losses.
Faced with a series of bad news and the expectant eyes of countless clansmen, Xuanyuan, whose heart was already filled with grief, had no choice but to pull himself together.
Faced with the severely damaged Bloodbath City, Xuanyuan ordered some of his clansmen to tidy up the things that were still usable, while he led most of the strongmen out to hunt powerful ferocious beasts and bring them back to the clan to become food for the people.
After barely managing to sustain the daily lives of the humans in Bloodbath City with the meat of ferocious beasts, Xuanyuan began to collect all the food in Bloodbath City.
Xuanyuan distributed the grain he had collected to some of his tribesmen, instructing them to select suitable locations and plant the grain as seeds, so that it would become the food upon which the tribesmen of Bloodbath City would depend for survival in the future.
After temporarily resolving the food crisis, Xuanyuan gathered some talented humans and sent them to learn from the dwarven masters of weapon crafting and alchemy.
Having inherited the unique skills of these dwarven masters, they will take on the tasks that the dwarves once performed in Bloodbath City.
After arranging everything in an orderly manner, Xuanyuan began to lead his people to slowly rebuild their former homeland.
Through the concerted efforts of countless human beings, decades later, this brand-new Blood War City once again stood on the Tianyuan Continent.
Today, this blood-soaked city, which can be described as a miracle, is home to more than ten million human people.
If we include those humans who have already occupied plots of land near Blood War City and begun to multiply and thrive, the number of humans belonging to Blood War City has exceeded one hundred million.
Within Bloodbath City today, there are already several powerful individuals who have reached the sixth realm of martial arts and cultivated a martial arts primordial spirit.
Below these martial arts primordial spirit realm experts are nearly a hundred martial arts dantian realm experts who have cultivated martial arts golden cores, sky warriors who can fly through the air with their battle qi, and grand mages whose destructive power is arguably the strongest among their peers.
Currently, in Bloodbath City, apart from Xuanyuan, all the other Nascent Soul Realm experts are in seclusion cultivating.
Under such circumstances, these experts, second only to the Nascent Soul Realm, constitute the pinnacle of combat power in Blood Battle City.
Over the years, whenever a powerful ferocious beast from the Tianyuan Mountains ventured into the territory of the human race...
When powerful rare treasures are discovered, and it is necessary to break the protective barriers or eliminate the powerful alien beings guarding them, it is always the martial arts experts who take action.
It is precisely because of the importance of Martial Core Realm experts that the birth of a new Martial Core Realm expert in Blood Battle City is a cause for celebration, which is why Xuanyuan attaches such importance to Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Wuji.
"Lord, the banquet is ready. Shall we invite our two guests to take their seats now?"
The servant's voice interrupted Xuanyuan's thoughts.
"After I arrive, send someone to invite the two guests from your household here as well."
Xuanyuan gave instructions to his servants.
Putting his thoughts aside, Xuanyuan left the room and headed towards a large hall in the city lord's mansion.
Meanwhile, Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Wuji, having received a message from their servants, tidied themselves up and went to the banquet together.
On the way to the banquet, Zhang Wuji transmitted his voice to Zhang Sanfeng.
"Grand Master, according to the information I just received from the servants, the time of the great change in the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm seems to be not far from the time of the great change in our world."
"That's right. Wuji, I can tell you definitively that the great changes in the worlds of these two worlds did not occur at roughly the same time, but at the same time."
"Shortly after I met that great immortal, a great change occurred in the world. On the very day of that change, my cultivation, which had been stuck at a bottleneck for many years, broke through. I still remember that day vividly."
At this point, Zhang Sanfeng recalled what Po Jun had once told him about the world's upgrade, and he seemed to understand something.
"That's not all, Grand Master. According to the information I've gathered, the development speed of the human race in the Tianyuan Sacred Realm is too abnormal."
"Oh! Tell me about it," Zhang Sanfeng transmitted his voice to Zhang Wuji.
"I used my mental power to invade the minds of several servants, and the information I obtained was almost the same. Within Blood Battle City, there is a clear record of the day of the birth of the human race."
"All the clues and signs point to the fact that the human race was created by the God Haotian four or five hundred years ago."
"Haotian! Isn't this the name of the Supreme Heavenly Emperor recorded in our Taoist scriptures? How is he described in this Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm?"
Zhang Sanfeng seemed somewhat surprised upon hearing this name and quickly sent a telepathic message to Zhang Wuji asking.
