Who were they?
Ji Hao opened his erect eye. He activated his eye of Dao with all of his power, but failed to see through the faintly discernible mist on the faces of the twelve people. The mist was magical, containing a trace of the great Dao of nature. Ji Hao was not powerful enough to understand the great Dao contained in the mist. Therefore, he couldn't see their faces clearly.
Ji Hao didn't know who they were, but he knew that they were powerful.
Gong Sun Sword, judging from his family name, he should be a direct descendant of Emperor Xuanyuan, a true core elder of the Gong Sun Family.
As for Suiren Yan, he was clearly from the Suiren Clan. The ancient human emperor, Suiren Clan, was also a great sage respected by the humankind. In the current humankind, the Suiren Clan was also an important and influential large clan.
As a core elder of a large family like this, one could easily imagine how powerful they were.
Any one of these twelve people was much more powerful than Gong Sun Sword and Suiren Flame.
Ji Hao was a bit shocked, a bit excited, and also a bit curious. He stared at these people without blinking his eyes, looking at them from head to toe. Perhaps, they were the ones Si Wen Ming told Ji Hao about a couple of days ago, the ones who had truly become star kings, right?
"You …" Gong Sun Jian straightened his body with difficulty. A big half of the great pressure from the twelve of them had landed on him and Suiren Flame. The pressure was invisible and traceless, but the pressure brought by it was real. Gong Sun Jian felt like a mountain was pressing on his head, and everyone on the scene could hear the bone creaking noise coming from his body.
Facing the great pressure, sharp starlight burst from Gong Sun Sword's body. Wisps of starlight hovered swiftly around his body like sharp swords, tearing the air and causing a sizzling noise.
Straightening his body inch by inch, Gong Sun Sword looked at the twelve people, gnashed his teeth and said, "You … shouldn't have stepped into the affairs of the humankind! You shouldn't even show your faces, unless the humankind is facing a life-or-death situation! "
"The humankind has already reached a life-or-death situation!" A man with a tall hat said slowly. His voice was as bland as water, seeming to have experienced the vicissitudes of time, but also indescribably noble and majestic.
"As for you juniors, you're still fighting for power and profit." This man slowly took a step forward. He was extremely tall, nearly half the height of an ordinary human being. Added with the three-feet-tall hat on his head, he looked even more like a towering cliff, making Gong Sun Jian feel hard to breathe.
"We won't interfere in the affairs of the human race. Today, we're here to tell you," said the man with a cold voice, "Don't fight against each other, don't fight for those things all day long. The flood has already submerged countless villages and drowned countless people. "
The man stomped his foot heavily against the ground. The Town Hall, even the entire Pu Ban City quaked intensely. He growled, "Those ordinary people may be nothing but numbers to you … But they are all our people."
"I'll give you fifteen minutes to decide on a detailed plan for controlling the flood." The silhouette coldly shouted, "What's the use of keeping you alive if you're still here after a quarter of an hour? Wasting food? You might as well all die! "
Gong Sun Jian, Suiren Flame, and the other human leaders, who had been arguing with Emperor Shun these days, were now soaked in cold sweat. They stared at the twelve silhouettes in fear. An overwhelming aura of killing had been surging out of their bodies, sweeping across the entire hall like a hurricane.
They truly wanted to kill!
Not even a little bit fake!
If the human leaders on the scene still couldn't come up with a proper plan after a quarter of an hour, these twelve unidentified human leaders would truly start killing!
Another figure said coldly with a chill that could freeze one's internal organs, "It's good to kill them all. A bunch of trash, there's no point in keeping them alive. Every tribe, every clan, every family, there are plenty of people who are capable and willing to take over. If we kill them all, there will be plenty of people to take over their positions. "
The hearts of all human leaders on the scene sank. Cold sweat poured down from their bodies.
Wasn't that right? Not to mention other abilities of the humankind, only in terms of fertility, except for a few special spirit creatures, no other species in Pan Gu world could compare with the humankind in terms of fertility.
These human leaders had many brothers and sisters who had been eyeing the humankind with hostility, and many ambitious descendants.
If they died, then so be it. Another group of people would still be able to manage the tribe in an orderly manner. Every large human clan could survive without a few clan leaders and elders.
Gong Sun Sword and Suiren Flame had been soaked in cold sweat even more than the others. They glanced at the twelve silhouettes in fear. Then, Suiren Flame gnashed his teeth, abruptly took a step forward with difficulty, politely bowed to Emperor Shun, and said, "Emperor Shun, about the flood-control mission, you decide!"
Suiren gave in, but still, he left a trap for Emperor Shun.
What did he mean by 'decide'? If the flood-control mission succeeded, the credit would belong to everyone; if the flood-control mission failed, Emperor Shun and the one chosen by Emperor Shun would take the blame!
This was what Suiren meant by 'decide', and it was a 'heart-breaking'!
Emperor Shun cast a complicated glance at Suiren Flame, then took two steps forward. Looking at the group of human leaders in the hall, he said coldly, "The situation is urgent. As leaders, we can still argue in here, but we human beings can't wait. Countless people are struggling and crying in the flood, and many are about to die of hunger and cold. What should be decided will be decided. "
Breathing deeply, Emperor Shun glanced at the group of people on the scene and continued in a deep voice, "Three days, I give you three days! Food, the food problem for Pu Ban City, and the entire humankind. Whoever can contribute the most food, or solve the food problem with the largest share … will lead the flood-control mission! "
Ji Hao popped out his eyes and subconsciously looked at Si Wen Ming.
Emperor Shun's idea was indeed brilliant. At the moment, the most important problem for the humankind was food. Without food, people would be anxious. Without food, a large number of human beings would starve to death. How could they have the strength to control the flood-control mission?
Emperor Shun wanted to force those large clans, who had stored large amounts of food, to give out the food they had!
Besides, even if those large clans gave out all the food they had, they couldn't possibly offer more food than Si Wen Ming!
Not to forget, Si Wen Ming had just married Tushan Princess, and Tushan Princess was supported by Tushan Family, the richest family among the humankind. Tushan Family could even be mentioned in the same breath as the dragon-kind and phoenix-kind!
In terms of natural treasures and weapons, Tushan Family might not be as rich as the dragon-kind and phoenix-kind, but in terms of wealth, such as food, armaments, money, Tushan Family was definitely much richer than the dragon-kind and phoenix-kind.
Based on what Emperor Shun said, the food problem of the humankind was basically solved within a short period of time.
