Chapter 598: Chapter 548: Life Simulation – The Three Clans Go to War

Mo Qilin from the Qilin Clan planned to strike against the Dragon and Phoenix Clans before the emergence of the Heavenly Mandate, seeking to secure an early advantage in the power struggle. However, when he expressed his desire for the Human Alliance to launch the first strike, Pei Xuanjing’s countenance immediately darkened.

Pei Xuanjing was well aware that the Qilin Clan had grown wary of the Human Alliance’s burgeoning presence. After all, the rapid rise of the Human Alliance over the years had brought considerable influence, even though there was no Sixth Level power player yet. However, the presence of Pei Xuanjing, Emperor Xi, had contributed to the alliance’s growing strength.

Specifically, Pei Xuanjing was unreserved in assisting minor races, earning the good favor of numerous smaller clans and amassing significant prestige. Within the Qilin Clan Alliance, the human force was only less potent than the Qilin Clan itself.

In any alliance, when a force arises that could potentially challenge the supremacy of the leader, apprehension naturally emerges. The Qilin Clan was no exception.

To Mo Qilin, leader of the Qilin Clan, the threat posed by the Human Alliance had reached a tipping point. Had it not been for the threat of the Dragon and Phoenix Clans and the concern of causing potential dissension among other races, he would have checked the growth of the Human Alliance long ago.

To Mo Qilin, the expanding Human Alliance was courting a threat to the Qilin Clan—it was like a vine wrapping around and siphoning off the nutrients of a great tree.

Especially Emperor Xi; he was so formidable that the current Qilin Clan could only keep him in check. Should the Qilin Clan fail, they might be usurped by him. The uncertainty loomed.

Hence, Mo Qilin decided to utilize this opportunity to dispatch troops and employ the Human Alliance as their vanguard, draining the power of the Human Alliance and subduing the potential threat.

At the age of 151: The Human Alliance gears up its army for a campaign against the Qingjiao Clan, a member of the Dragon Clan Alliance.

Admittedly, Pei Xuanjing was well aware of the Qilin Clan’s gambit to exhaust and eliminate the human threat. Even so, the current strength of the Human Alliance, although greatly enhanced, was still incapable of countering a top-tier race like the Qilin Clan. Now, even if the Human Alliance wanted to retaliate against the Qilin Clan, doing so would only make them the target of all.

Hence, despite knowing it was a ploy, Pei Xuanjing still assented to it.

Or rather, Pei Xuanjing was prepared for this outcome. Ever since the humans joined the Qilin Clan Alliance, he braced for this development.

Through alliances with the Qilin Clan to establish their remarkability, he was fully aware that once humans grow strong enough, they would inevitably draw the Qilin Clan’s suspicion and become targets. He had never considered that the rise of the human race had to completely depend on the Qilin Clan. Indeed, becoming part of the Qilin Clan Alliance was a temporary measure.

The genuine rise of the human race must withstand the test of blood and fire. Otherwise, even by fluke the human race was able to rise, it would be akin to a floating rootless duckweed.

Once the Human Alliance confirmed its attack on the Qingjiao Clan, Pei Xuanjing gave his all. He didn’t hold back, as the Qingjiao Clan was no weakling—it was one of the most powerful dragon races after the pureblood Dragon Clan within the Dragon Clan Alliance.

Moreover, at such a moment, any reservation from the Human Alliance would raise questions from the Qilin Clan. Pei Xuanjing would not give them such an opportunity.

In a single battle, the Human Alliance launched a surprise attack on the Qingjiao Clan, killing two of its Sixth Level warriors, nearly a hundred from the Fifth Order, and countless ones of the Fourth Order and below.

Precisely, this initial strike alone was enough to demonstrate the immense power of the human race. The Qingjiao Clan, once ranking just within the top hundred of all the tribes in the vast world, was nearly annihilated by the humans in a single battle. The damage was disastrous, leaving them unable to resist any further.

This move of the Human Alliance naturally incited the fury of the Dragon Clan. A pureblood Dragon clan with its allied races under the Dragon Clan Alliance immediately retaliated, aiming to annihilate the Human Alliance in revenge.

Faced with such assault, Pei Xuanjing would certainly not sit idle. At a time when everyone expected him to either flee or defend, he instead took the initiative to attack. He killed another Sixth-Level player and dozens of Fifth-Order masters from the Dragon Clan Alliance, shaking the entire vast world.

No one expected the Human Alliance to be so decisive, inflicting significant losses on the Dragon Clan Alliance in such a short time. As the Human Alliance was backed by the Qilin Clan, the Dragon Clan naturally held it responsible.

Even though the Dragon Clan had such intentions, they didn’t expect that this was not a reckless move by the humans but a well-laid plan by the Qilin Clan.

When a pure-blood dragon lineage led several races to besiege the Human Alliance, the Qilin Clan, though informed, didn’t think of aiding the humans, but chose to strike directly at another stronghold of the Dragon Clan.

In the current vast world, the three major alliances, namely the Dragon Clan, Qilin Clan, and Phoenix Clan, dominantly occupy 99% of the territories. Among them, the Dragon Clan is the most formidable, followed by the Qilin Clan, with the Phoenix Clan being the weakest.

This time, the Qilin Clan actively invited the Phoenix Clan to cooperate against the Dragon Clan. After paying a heavy price, they also obtained the promise of an alliance. Therefore, when the Qilin Clan made a successful attack and the Dragon Clan, suffering significant losses, prepared to counterattack, the Phoenix Clan forcefully assaulted the Dragon Clan.

The Golden Winged Roc from the Phoenix Clan, a species fond of devouring dragons and snakes, destroyed several Dragon Clan strongholds and killed several pure-blooded dragons in their opening strike.

For the naturally powerful Dragon Clan, pure-blooded dragons are hard to breed, and each loss is indispensable. Therefore, the Dragon Clan, filled with fury, waged war against both the Qilin and Phoenix Clans.

For the Dragon Clan, for the Heavenly Mandate soon to emerge, both the Phoenix and Qilin Clans are their sworn enemies. They had been hesitant about which side to strike first, but since the two sides had joined forces, they didn’t need to consider it further and chose to obliterate both clans.

The fierce flames of war once again ignited in the vast world. And it was clear to every race that this war might be the most intense in the history of the vast world as it encompassed all races—none could remain untouched.

By the age of 159: The war among the three clans had already lasted for nine years. During this period, the Human Alliance suffered quite a few losses, but the gains were also enormous.
