Sovereign Yuan was visibly moved by the terrifying and soul-stirring pressure. He could naturally tell that Lin Qian was only at the first rank of the Awakening State.
At this level of cultivation, he was able to give off such a presence. As expected of the Forefather, this Lin Qian was a rare genius, one of a kind!
In just an instant, the aura on Lin Qian's body had already dimmed and was forcibly withdrawn into his body.
"I've embarrassed myself in front of Elder Yuan. My parents' situation has made me lose my composure." After calming himself down, Lin Qian apologized to Sovereign Yuan in front of him.
Sovereign Yuan waved his hand and apologized to Lin Qian. "I'm afraid our Yuan Family is unable to help Young Master due to the ancestral teachings. Sorry about the Fang Yun Family."
"However, I am also very curious. Since Elder Yuan wants your Yuan Family to recognize me as the Young Master and listen to my orders, yet you are unable to help me, isn't this extremely contradictory?" Lin Qian simply could not understand this situation no matter how he thought about it.
Sovereign Yuan sighed softly and explained to Lin Qian. "Young Master is considered a newcomer in the Central Region, so I'm afraid you don't know much about our Yuan Family."
"Our Yuan Family is not only the number one force of the Human Race, but also known as the Guardian Clan because we are the descendants of the Xuan Jun Patriarch. We have the responsibility to protect the entire Human Race." Sovereign Yuan looked at Lin Qian in front of him with a serious expression and slowly explained.
"Compared to the past, the Human Race is indeed not as glorious as it used to be. Our Yuan Family is in a natural position and our strength is second to none in the Human Race. In the entire Central Region, we have as many as 800 prefectures."
"However, our Yuan Family has an ancestral teaching that we will never participate in the battles of the Human Race. We will only develop ourselves in secret."
"In fact, conflicts often break out at the borders of the Human Race's territory and other races. At the borders of the Human Race's territory, the powerhouses of the Human Race that are mainly stationed are from our Yuan Family. "
"Besides preserving the inheritance of their own clan, almost all the experts of the Yuan Clan have headed to the borders of the territory to resist the foreign tribes that are eyeing them covetously."
"The younger generation of the Yuan Family will also go to the borders of the Human Clan to train themselves and protect the remaining territories of the Human Clan. Almost every day, Yuan Family members die in battle at the borders of human territory. "
"As for this old man, as the strongest expert of the Yuan Family, it is my duty to guard this door. Once a foreign race appears through the door, this old man will be the first to rush in. Even if I have to sacrifice this old body of mine, I have no regrets. "
"I believe that young master clearly understands the importance of this door. There is no need for this old man to say anything more."
"Therefore, the strongest members of the Yuan Family will become the gatekeepers. The entire Yuan Family will be the guardian clan that protects the entire human race."
"This is our clan's mission, which is why we have these ancestral teachings. We, the Yuan Family, cannot participate in the struggles of the human race. The Yuan Family will not act unless there is a human force that has done something utterly devoid of conscience. "
"The Patriarch once said that the young master will only need the help of the Yuan Family if he has to face the foreign tribes in the future. He will not need the help of the Yuan Family to deal with ordinary human forces."
At this point, Supremacy Yuan's face was filled with confusion. He did not quite understand the Patriarch's instructions.
Could it be that the young master's force, the Hua Xia Empire, might not be able to compete with the forces of the Central Region?
At this thought, Supremacy Yuan shook his head repeatedly and laughed at himself. He was really indulging in the wildest fantasies.
Lin Qian's aptitude and talent were indeed extraordinary. Furthermore, he was the leader of a force in the Southern Region and an emperor.
To be called an emperor and an emperor together, this was truly a form of confidence.
In Supremacy Yuan's opinion, Lin Qian's Hua Xia Empire would probably be able to occupy seven or eight states in the Southern Region at most.
Supremacy Yuan raised the teacup in his hand and asked Lin Qian curiously, "Speaking of which, I'm really curious. How many states does Your Majesty's Hua Xia Empire have in the Southern Region?"
After asking, Supremacy Yuan took a sip of spirit tea and quietly waited for Lin Qian's answer.
"Huh?" Lin Qian only snapped back to his senses after hearing Supremacy Yuan's words.
Originally, after listening to Supremacy Yuan's description, he was in awe of the Yuan Family. The descendants of Lord Xuan Yuan Xiang had actually been protecting the human race all along.
Such a noble character made Lin Qian's heart fill with admiration. He was full of admiration for this selfless spirit.
Lin Qian couldn't help but put himself in Yuan Xiang's shoes. If it were him, he probably wouldn't have done this and become a guardian race.
Instead, he would have directly sent the imperial army and the Beast Army to destroy the foreign races that often harassed the human race and occupied their territories. He would then subdue the relatively decent races and integrate them into the Hua Xia Empire.
As for the brutal races, such as the Giant Ghost Race and the Dwarf Race in the Plains of Beginnings, they would be annihilated.
Just now, Lin Qian had even tried to imagine what it would be like if a war were to break out with the foreign races.
It wasn't until Supremacy Yuan's question that he snapped back to his senses.
After snapping back to his senses, Lin Qian said to Supremacy Yuan, "Including a small world, the four worlds, and a part of the underground world, my Hua Xia Empire has a total of 1,975 states."
"Pfft!"
Supremacy Yuan spat out the spirit tea in his mouth when he heard Lin Qian's words.
Fortunately, Lin Qian condensed soul power on his face, so he didn't spit out the tea.
"One... One thousand nine hundred and seventy-five states? There are only 1,972 states in the entire Southern Region. Young Master, could it be that you … "Supremacy Yuan didn't care about the tea on his white beard as he stared at Lin Qian in disbelief.
"Yes. Two years ago, some people provoked me and said that if they had the guts, they should start a war with the Southern Region." I raised the teacup in front of me, blew on the steam, and took a sip. I smiled at Supremacy Yuan. "I'm a young man after all, so I'm easily angered. In a fit of anger, I conquered the entire Southern Region. Therefore, 1,972 states in the Southern Region are now the territory of my Hua Xia Empire. "
Supremacy Yuan looked at the young man in front of him and couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
It wasn't difficult for the top forces of the Central Region to conquer the entire Southern Region. Even the upper-class forces of the Central Region could do it.
It was just that the concentration of spirit energy in the four regions was far inferior to that of the Central Region, so it wasn't worth it for them to waste their energy on an expedition.
However, what really terrified Supremacy Yuan was that Lin Qian mentioned that he had started attacking the entire Southern Region two years ago.
One thousand nine hundred and seventy-two prefectures had actually been conquered in two years. Just how did they do it?
