Chapter 1396: Chapters 1344-1345 Life Simulation–Test of Life and Death Success or Failure Lies in Fate Chapter 1396: Chapters 1344-1345 Life Simulation–Test of Life and Death Success or Failure Lies in Fate Although the Rain Clan suffered heavy losses to their army and lost a demigod in this battle, there was no doubt that it was a tremendous setback, yet they were still capable of fighting, still holding some power in reserve.
Following this, the Rain Clan mobilized en masse, restructuring a hundred-thousand-strong army, and four demigods from their branch joined forces, sparing no strength in the effort.
For them, there was no need to hold back any strength nor worry about surprise attacks. At least until their power crumbled, as long as the demigod strong and the army remained, the rest of the God Clan wouldn't dare make a move, even if they entertained the thought.
They were all waiting to see the outcome–if the Rain Clan won this time, then all would be well. They could plunder enough benefits from Suiming City to make up for their losses, still standing at the peak.
But if, unfortunately, they lost, then for the Rain Clan, even if they still had strength left, they would be powerless to contend with the other God Clans, so why bother at all?
Of course, while the Rain Clan was regrouping and preparing to strike back, Sui, who had been in seclusion for a long time, finally emerged. He refined the Divine Tree bestowed by the king of the Fire Country, ignited the Divine fire with it, and ascended to the Demi-God Realm.
Although the other side had just broken through, Pei Xuanjing could see at a glance that, at this moment, Sui's strength was formidable even among the demigod strong, given his solid foundation and the blessing from the Divine Tree.
Pei Xuanjing had encountered that Divine Tree before and felt it was just an ordinary Divine Tree, but he found that it undoubtedly provided great assistance to Sui.
Especially after Sui's seclusion, this Divine Tree grew at the center of Suiming City, a vast tree reaching into the clouds, covering the sky and casting a red hue across the heavens with its crimson leaves.
Moreover, as Suiming City developed and more beings settled there, especially with the inclusion of human race tribes, it seemed that human Qi Luck converged towards the Divine Tree, transmitting through it as a medium to Sui.
Qi Luck was something Pei Xuanjing knew all too well, whether during his time as the national priest in the Great Ming Divine Dynasty or when he instigated the Conferred God War to perfect the Three Talents of heaven, earth, and man, Pei Xuanjing's human Qi Luck burgeoned to the point of excess.
Even to this day in the Divine Land World, Pei Xuanjing was still blessed with towering Qi Luck, not only of the human race but also of heaven and earth after he offered up the Longevity World as a sacrifice.
And seeing this human Qi Luck intertwined with Sui, Pei Xuanjing couldn't help but wonder if Sui was the son of fortune for the human race in this era.
The notion of the son of fortune, in fact, originated from an adjective used by Pei Xuanjing when he was poring over human historical records in the Divine Land World, describing those favored by human Qi Luck from the emergence of the human race.
Since the birth of the human race, each era invariably had one or more individuals who seemed to shoulder the mission of history, poised to lead the human race's progression.
Like the initial Witch Priest, the ruler of the human race, later the Human Emperor, sages of the Hundred Schools, lords of the Divine Dynasty, and even Pei Xuanjing and those who kick-started the War of Sealing Gods to expel the Demon Race.
Of course, to Pei Xuanjing, the so-called son of fortune seemed more like putting the cart before the horse.
It's as if every human has the protection of their race's Qi Luck, but not every human can gather more Qi Luck and lead the development of the race.
It is more likely that exceptional individuals arise among the human race, thus leading its progress, attracting Qi Luck to themselves, and earning the title of son of fortune.
Whether it is individuals who carve out an era, or the era that propels the rise of individuals, it is a highly idealistic assertion, one that even now has no consensus in the Divine Land World.
However, no matter what, Sui being blessed with the human race's Qi Luck at least seemed a good omen to Pei Xuanjing, also proving that what Sui was doing was right, and there was a chance for him to compete for the opportunity to be known as the son of fortune of the human race.
“The situation now is that I have already suppressed that demigod of the Rain Clan. Coming next, four Rain Clan demigods will lead the army to attack, and what you need to do is to crush the Rain Clan's enemies and defend Suiming City, establishing your authority,” Pei Xuanjing said with a light laugh to Sui, who had just left seclusion.
Sui, still basking in the joy of his breakthrough to the Demi-God Realm, was utterly astonished after hearing Xi explain the current situation of Suiming City, so much so that he was left speechless.
Even before he began his seclusion, after Xi started managing the affairs of Suiming City and witnessed its thriving development, Sui anticipated a rapid period of growth, especially since during his seclusion he could sense Suiming City's prosperity through the incessant flow of human Qi Luck.
But when he actually emerged and heard Xi's description, and witnessed for himself the vibrant prosperity of Suiming City, it was still a tremendous shock to him, far beyond his imagination.
Of course, besides that, he was tremendously shocked by the Rain Clan's invasion and by Xi's defeat of tens of thousands of their army and suppression of a demigod.
Demigods already stood at the pinnacle of the Mortal Realm, and those who reached this realm, even if born in the Mortal Clan, would still receive respect from the God Clan. Every demigod had the potential to ascend to a Divine Position, and no one could be certain that a demigod from the Mortal Clan wouldn't have the opportunity to ascend.
