On Earth.
Since the day of the Revival of Magical Powers and the return of the Protoss.
The fortune of the human race began to go downhill.
With the increase in the concentration of spirit energy, the Protoss continued to grow stronger, and mankind could be said to have become more and more miserable.
Of course, in the beginning, when the concentration of spirit energy was insufficient and technology was dominant, mankind won three consecutive victories in the three "War of the Protoss."
But in the next ten competitions, the Protoss won ten consecutive victories.
Mankind was forced to make ten compromises.
For example, the most basic territory. First, the mother planet Earth was lost, and tens of billions of humans migrated to other places.
Then they lost the moon. All the humans on the moon were driven away, and the Protoss occupied this territory again.
Then they gave up 20 space cities.
As well as other interests.
Ten defeats, ten concessions.
Every time, they had to make difficult compromises and dig out part of the pie from the diminishing interests in their hands.
It was like cutting a piece of meat.
In the end, the last base camp of mankind was only Mars.
There were a few immigration bases on Mercury.
Most of the population lived in the space cities.
The resources controlled were less than one-third of that of the Protoss.
Even so.
Over the past few decades, the strength of mankind was still growing.
For example, the total population, which had stagnated and was slowly decreasing, had grown to 40 billion in the past few decades … about double the population of the Protoss.
The total economic output had increased more than fivefold.
More importantly, humanity's cohesiveness, technological prowess, cultivation power … all of these had greatly increased.
What's more, under the modern system, the organization, mobilization, and action of human society far exceeded those of the Protoss.
Therefore, after the border friction between the Protoss and the humans broke out, even though the Protoss army could always fight an amazing exchange ratio, overall, they could not stop the attack of the human army. If they forcibly seized territory, they would only be beaten badly.
The strong cohesiveness and organization ensured that mankind could never be completely suppressed in the face of the Protoss.
Decades had passed.
In terms of cultivation, mankind was also exploring, accumulating, and growing, and had also made very significant progress.
This kind of progress was mainly manifested in the emergence of human experts in the Core Formation stage. It only took five years for the first one to appear to the ten thousandth.
Now, the number of Core Formation cultivators in human society had exceeded one million.
There were also over a hundred super geniuses among the human race who had broken through the Nascent Soul Level and entered a new level.
The most talented one was rumored to have entered the Jushen stage … In the history of the Protoss, this was a rare genius that only appeared once in ten thousand years.
There was an explosive increase in the number of cultivation experts.
This proved that the Federation's National Cultivation Plan was extremely successful.
However …
The thing that brought the greatest help to mankind and quickly made up for the difference in strength was the so-called "technology".
For example, the cultivator's mecha could increase the attack power of the cultivator who was originally only in the condensation period and the core period by one or two levels, and it was possible to kill the cultivator of the jushen period.
The most top-notch cultivator mecha could allow the pilot of the advanced Jiedan realm to have a chance of killing the old monsters of the Shenguang Order.
There were also various types of divine weapons that brought about a huge increase in combat power.
This kind of accumulation, in the process of moving forward, quickly went from quantitative change to qualitative change.
The reason why the public was shouting "the rise of the human race" was not because they wanted to gloat over it, but because a few events had allowed analysts to see a clear trend.
One was that, after 40 years, the human army had finally defeated the Protoss for the first time in the 14th edition of the War of the Humans and Protoss. It was an exciting victory.
This victory was frightening and extremely heart-wrenching, and there was a lot of luck involved.
This caused the entire human race to boil with excitement. This was the first comeback after ten consecutive defeats.
However, some analysts believed that it was inevitable for the humans to win.
"In the first ten consecutive defeats, we can see these trajectories. In the first game, the human army was completely wiped out, and the opponent was unharmed. In the second game, the human army was completely wiped out, and the opponent had a minor injury … In the next eight editions, although the human army was completely wiped out, the number of minor injuries on the Protoss side increased from one to two, three, five, ten … Then, the first seriously injured person appeared, and the first person died."
"These two key points made the humans excited and excited, and played a huge role in inspiring them. It made the Protoss fly into a rage and extremely angry … The morale and courage of the humans to fight had never dissipated."
"And gradually, they saw hope."
"In the 14th edition of the War of the Humans and Protoss, our human elites were deployed. We dispatched 1,480 masters at the peak of the Jiedan stage and 20 geniuses at the Yuanying stage. All of them piloted the latest 'Celestial Mecha.' With a 95% death rate, we killed 18 Protoss monsters from the Shenguang order."
"We achieved a brilliant victory against the strong as the weak."
Of course, it was also fortunate that the Protoss had underestimated the enemy and did not send the naga produced by the Chen family's fortress to participate in the battle … However, the naga was a biological mecha. It was an unmanned equipment and could not replace a person in the battle.
However, the Protoss would request to modify the rules of the game. In the next edition of the War of the Humans and Protoss, the Protoss would conscript 100 naga to fight against other mecha.
The second was that the technology of the humans had finally developed to a level that the Protoss were afraid of.
In particular, the celestial technology, which was a combination of celestial power and technology, had erupted with extremely terrifying strength after decades of research and development and progress.
Among them, there was a weapon called the light bomb, which had an explosive yield of more than 20,000 tons.
Its power was equivalent to that of the atomic bomb at the end of World War II.
In the face of the light bomb, even those from the Shenguang Order who were below the Sage level might die directly if they were too close to the center of the explosion.
More importantly, the manufacturing cost and technical content of this weapon were not very high. As long as some funds were invested and there were sufficient raw materials, more than a thousand of them could be mass-produced every year.
Of course, the light bomb was highly confidential in the human world. The Protoss were even less aware of it. Chen Jin had also learned about it through some special intelligence channels.
He understood that the humans had a trump card in their hands that was enough to protect themselves.
In addition, with more than a hundred times the Protoss' organizational and mobilization power, it was estimated that in another decade or so, the Protoss' power would not be able to suppress the humans at all.
From this, it could be seen that in the face of adversity, humans could always erupt with hundreds of percent of the potential in their bodies. They could not be underestimated by any force.
The reversal of the situation between the humans and the Protoss, the rise and fall of the comparison of strength, the gap between them, and the overtaking of them, might be realized in recent years.
If the Protoss kept their promises.
Perhaps after the end of the next few editions of the War of the Humans and Protoss.
The resources of Venus, the moon, and some asteroids would all return to the hands of humans.
Even Earth, the mother planet that countless humans yearned to return to, might be able to regain a few places to settle down.
The premise was that the Protoss kept their promises.
But …
The strong were used to making rules. They were not good at abiding by them.
The strong could win ten or even a hundred battles. But as long as they lost even one battle, it would be difficult for them to accept it and they would fly into a rage.
Under extreme anger, not to mention the rules that both sides had agreed upon, the tacit understanding that had been cultivated for a long time was thrown aside at this moment. They just wanted to vent their anger!
They just wanted to get rid of the humans. It was as if they could not afford to lose.
So, in the border area where friction often broke out.
The Protoss suddenly increased their troops by five times, ten times. They sent countless masters into the ranks of the human army and launched an incomparably frenzied attack.
In a short period of time, the humans lost countless space fortresses.
More than a million soldiers were killed in battle.
The soldiers and human civilians who had surrendered and become captives were all killed by the Protoss army.
It was as if they were ruthless and did not spare a single one.
This was simply trampling on the bottom line of civilization and morality. It could be described as frenzied.
The massacre of the Protoss army made tens of billions of humans furious. They swore to avenge the victims.
It was just that … the individual combat strength of the Protoss soldiers was strong.
The human army on Earth at the border could not resist and could only retreat.
If the line of defense collapsed, the Protoss army would enter the human living areas and face the aggressive Protoss. The consequences were self-evident.
It would not only be the loss of property and the deprivation of life. Some Protoss warriors even had the hobby of raping human women. They would even rape first before killing.
That scene … It was simply hell!
In order to resist the Protoss army, in order to protect their homeland.
The higher-ups of the Earth Federation had no choice but to lift the ban on the light bomb, allowing this strategic weapon to be exposed for use in advance.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Ah, my eyes, my eyes!"
"Ah!"
The killing effect of the first light bomb was very good.
Within a radius of one kilometer, all the Protoss practitioners were killed. Even those from the Shenguang Order were killed as long as they were too close.
Three thousand Protoss fell under the impact of the first light bomb.
Then came the second bomb …
The 100th bomb …
The number of Protoss warriors taken away ranged from 1,000 to 5,000.
In just a few days, a total of 500,000 Protoss warriors had completely fallen.
This included the 28 masters of the Shenguang Order.
Their vitality was greatly damaged.
On the side of the Protoss army, they suffered heavy losses. Many of the warriors sent by the Protoss families disappeared in whole groups, swallowed up in the bright light.
Although some of the Protoss showed disdain and thought that there was nothing to be afraid of.
But most of the Protoss were almost blinded by the light. They felt incredulous.
Then came nervousness and panic.
They were afraid that a "Light Bomb" would suddenly fall into their group.
The danger of humans was once again magnified to a level more terrifying than that of wild animals.
The views of "The Threat of the Human Race" and "We Must Slaughter the Human Race" filled countless reports.
The entire Protoss society fell into collective anxiety. They did not know what to do.
They realized that humans were tenacious and tricky.
They also referred to the counterattack performance of the human army in the 14th War of the Humans and Protoss.
They felt the gradually decreasing concentration of spiritual energy in the air.
Some of the Protoss came to a helpless conclusion: In the long run, time seemed to be on the side of humans.
If they continued with the marathon, the Protoss were likely to lose!
"What should we do?"
"How can we get rid of those damn monkeys?"
"Will the powerful and noble Protoss lose to them?"
"There is a saying that two tigers cannot live on the same mountain. We should unite and do our best to slaughter those humans in one go."
"We can't go on like this. Those lowly humans are really going to climb on top of our heads."
There were countless shouts of fighting and killing.
They came to the conclusion that humans were the biggest threat and should be eliminated as soon as possible.
But … the power of the light bomb left a lingering fear in people's hearts. They did not have the courage to withstand its power.
The other Protoss families could forget themselves and charge into the battle, but their own forces must be preserved … The hearts of the people were not united, and they were wary of each other, resulting in them being unable to unite as a rope.
But there was a family called "Tianyin" that thought of a way.
"The ancestors of the sages."
"Let's pool together some resources and invite the ancestors of the sages to come out. Let the sages decide for us!"
"The new weapons in the hands of the humans are very powerful. Even the Shenguang Order can't resist them. But in front of the sages, it is not enough."
"As long as we invite the ancestors of the sages to come out of their seclusion, and with a few strikes, the human race will no longer exist!"
"We have long had enough of them. Those ants have not only refused to surrender, but they have also repeatedly opposed our Protoss. There is no need for them to survive. We should just get rid of them all!"
After listening to the words of this Protoss.
A high-level Protoss asked him, "The sages have never been involved in the affairs of the mortal world. Will they agree to help?"
"Why not? As long as all the clans take out some treasures as tributes, if the Saint is satisfied, he will naturally listen to us … If the tributes are generous enough, the Saint will be pleased, and after understanding the cunning of humans, he will definitely help us. "
Offerings?
The representatives of the other families looked at him and immediately understood.
There was a sage from the Tianyin family who was later known as the "Tianyin Sage." He was powerful and was one of the only four sages left.
Of course, the "Tianyin Sage" had not been a sage for a long time. Although his strength was at the bottom of the four sages, he was not someone that the ordinary Protoss practitioners could look up to.
It was like comparing a lake to the sea.
If the "Tianyin Sage" took action, mere humans would not be worth mentioning.
It was just that it was not impossible to gather enough offerings to satisfy the sages.
He also saw that the proposer was a family established by the descendants of the "Tianyin Sage." They had a close relationship. The attitude of the head of the Tianyin family might be the attitude of the sages.
So … Offerings, go!
Elixirs, buy!
Spirit stones, gather!
In just a few days, they had gathered enough to satisfy the Tianyin Sage.
…
After a while.
Dressed in a snow-white robe, the Protoss, whose face could not be seen clearly, stood in the void with his hands behind his back.
His body crossed space and flew to the vicinity of Mars' orbit.
Below him were densely packed planets with cities.
He stretched out a hand. Countless mists surged below, turning into an invisible giant hand that enveloped the entire Mars.
Then he casually clenched it.
"Boom ~"
More than half of the surface of Mars was covered by the giant hand.
Of the billions of humans living on Mars, the survival rate was less than 30%.
He took another step and came to Mercury, which was tens of millions of kilometers away.
He gently punched out.
Mercury turned into countless space debris.
He walked to some space cities and patted them with his hand. The survival rate was less than 1%.
…
About half a day later.
More than 10 billion human lives disappeared in the hands of the Tianyin Sage.
The comparison of strength between the human race and the Protoss had once again undergone a huge reversal. The good momentum of the human race's revival was broken by a strong one.
The power that the sages possessed could be said to be terrifying.
