Chapter 929: I’m Starting to Believe My Own Words!

“Rise? Yes, rise!” Ren Baqian repeated.

“Do you know what the biggest difference is between you and us?” he asked. “You are willing to hide in a corner and even restrain yourselves due to the fear of causing a calamity if you step out. You even regard this as your responsibility and objective.

Ridiculous!

Allow me to just ask: Are you willing? Is this what you thought when you joined the Temple of Heaven? Is this your wish?

For thousands of years, from generation to generation, this has been the case. When you take your last breath, is this what you are willing to do?

No. Although I don’t know you, I can say that there is no one who doesn’t want to look at the vast world outside! No one likes to imprison themselves!”

“Enough! You don’t know anything about our situation! This is the land of exile, and there’s no hope of restoration here!” someone yelled.

Ren Baqian chuckled to himself. This man’s words had already excluded Ren Baqian from those that were from the land of exile.

In other words, regardless of whether they had said it wrongly, Ren Baqian’s attitude and all the drilling had already started to pay off.

“This is the land of exile, but not there!” he said faintly. “Since you are waiting to grow old and die here, why not fight hard and find another way out of this place? It’s already been thousands of years, and who knows, you might gain something.”

“Do you think that we haven’t tried? Although I don’t know how you got through the stratum of turbulence, do you know how many lives we have lost over the years?”

“Oh? So you gave up?” Ren Baqian’s mind twitched. As its name suggested, the stratum of turbulence should refer to the turbulent ocean.

However, since it could stop so many experts, there should be other reasons besides turbulence.

“You think that our existence fell from the sky? It’s undeniable that luck indeed played a part in how we managed to arrive in the Chaotic Star Sea. However, how much have we gone through since then? It was all through the concerted efforts of everyone.

When has the human race ever been strong? Whether it was in the Lancang region or the Chaotic Star Sea or even when we were facing the Zerg and the Protoss, we were always in a weak position. The human race is a weak race!” Ren Baqian announced loudly.

“All the other races are born at the Man Wheel or even at the Earth Wheel level. These entire races could even communicate directly with their minds or could maximize the use of allocated resources in exchange for strengthening their race!

Even the most common beasts can learn to run in just one or two months after birth and learn to hunt in just half a year!

Only the human race has a low starting point, slow growth, and weak talent. It could be said that we have nothing except for all kinds of evil conduct like greed, jealousy, laziness, and civil war.”

After hearing what Ren Baqian said, some of them were contemplative and some were angry. They had to admit that what he said was right.

Even if they wanted to refute, they couldn’t do so! More importantly, everyone wanted to hear what he was going to say.

The smile on his face faded, and he shouted loudly, “However, so what? Now that the Zerg and the Protoss have fallen, the continent of Valoran is under the rule of the human race. We have explored the seas, conquered the skies, soared beyond the horizon, and defeated strong enemies. We are exploring the mysteries of this world’s origin!

This is what weak humans can achieve!”

After Ren Baqian shouted, he paid attention to the breathing and expressions of the crowd and found that his enthusiasm wasn’t as infectious as he expected.

It seemed that the foundation wasn’t strong enough.

He did some self-reflection in his mind. He had no choice as he hadn’t done anything like this in his entire life, and he needed to manipulate their emotions to make it work.

He didn’t have the experience!

However, it wasn’t too late!

Ren Baqian took two deep breaths and calmed himself down before continuing, “I hate the idea that you attribute everything to this land of exile and the stratum of turbulence! This is a type of cowardice, a type of incompetence.

You must know that this world will stay put and that we can’t make this world change for us. We must be the ones to change everything!”

He then said in a deep voice, “My ancestors arrived at the continent of Valoran from the Chaotic Star Sea back then, and it wasn’t a piece of fertile land. There were indigenous people, foreign races, and many disputes as well.

The human race only had several thousand people at that time.

Furthermore, there weren’t any experts!”

Ren Baqian emphasized, “Like I said, they were just a group of survivors who were temporarily forgotten and were considered irrelevant. They didn’t have any experts! The strongest of them were only at the Earth Wheel level! Even weaker than you!”

Everyone wondered when they heard this. No experts? How did they survive? Apart from that, just the beasts in the sea could easily destroy tens of thousands of people.

“The truth is that we survived!” He smiled. “Not only did we survive, but we became more and more powerful. Of course, we also started off like you and hid in a corner at the beginning. The first thing we had to do was survive and nothing else.

At the same time, we constantly found ways to understand everything on that continent, adapted to the rules of it, and most importantly, fought wars while developing technology!

Wars made us united and unafraid of bleeding. They made us stronger, allowed us to progress, made us miserable, and also refined our spirits!

Fighting and struggling are the most beautiful gestures of the human race!

If war is a gesture, then technology is the foundation of everything.

The development of science and technology enriched our supplies.

Technology made us strong despite not being great physical strength.

Cold weapons, firearms, explosives, artillery, tanks, fighter jets, bombers, battleships, aircraft carriers, nuclear weapons…” Ren Baqian sped up, throwing out terms that were unheard of.

He didn’t need to explain to everyone what these terms meant at this moment. He simply needed to make them feel impressed.

“We are on a completely different path from you. We have no experts, no one with superhuman strength, and no glory from the past. We rely on ourselves and our technology to defeat powerful enemies.”

Ren Baqian took a deep breath and began to tell everyone about the most important war of the human race that lasted for over a century, the War of Summoner’s Rift.

He commended the heroes who had made outstanding contributions: Ying Zheng, Bai Qi, Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, Wang Xi, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhang Xutuo, Xu Ziling, Kou Zhong, Yu Wenhua, and Shan Xiongxin…

Apart from that, he also listed out the heroes of the foreign races of the continent of Valoran.

Ren Baqian also listed some of the key military campaigns, such as the Battle of Hulao Pass and the Battle of Guandu.

“All the names of these people are remembered by every descendant. They didn’t possess the kind of strength that you have, and although they might not be powerful, they all made outstanding contributions in that century-long war! They were the first group of achievers in the League of Legends! And also to commemorate the heroes of the war, the League of Legends was formed.” Ren Baqian didn’t forget that he was a member of the League of Legends.

While he was at it, he increased the reputation of the League of Legends by several notches!

“It was during this war that lasted over a century that our technology began to develop rapidly. New technology and new equipment began to appear, and the entire human race underwent tremendous changes!

Telephones, television, computers, CNC machine tools, energy technology, materials technology, biotechnology, information technology… There was also farming technology, agricultural technology, and production technology as well. New technologies were constantly replacing the old. Although the human race was at war, their strength was accumulating bit by bit!

After that war, it took us hundreds of years to truly unify the continent of Valoran. After a period of settlement and development, we began to explore the world. At that time, we thought we were already strong enough, until we met the Zerg and the Protoss…”

Ren Baqian took a deep breath and began to tell everyone about the second war that was most crucial in the development of the human race: The War of the Three Races.

It had another name and was also called the War of Hegemony!

By this time, everyone was already less doubtful. Ren Baqian’s story was too detailed. He could provide the details of every person and every war.

Also, the entire story was logical, and there was almost nothing missing.

In fact, at this time, a little omission was normal. After all, nobody could remember so many things in detail.

The main point was that no loopholes could be found in the history of his story!
