When I woke up, I wanted to go home.

Chapter 335 Pride Comes Before a Fall

"Ninth Brother, this is the nineteenth piece of fatty meat we've passed along the way. Are you really not going to eat any of it?"

If we don't eat now, we'll be passing by!

On the enormous warship, Xiao Jin suddenly entered Zhu Chongjiu's room and asked impatiently.

"What are you eating? Why are you getting more and more backward as you get older? Why is your vision getting narrower?"

Only a fool would risk losing ten thousand copper coins for the sake of losing one.

"I was just wondering if those immortals were all holed up in the Heavenly Court, too afraid to come out."

Even if they knew our route, would they still dare to come out and ambush us?

"Have you become a bit arrogant since becoming an Emperor?"

Is the Heavenly Emperor very powerful and awesome?

In any situation, it's better to be safe than sorry.

What if there really is a fearless immortal who is willing to perish with us and comes to assassinate us?

you tell me?"

"Ninth Brother, I... I just had an itchy hand, I didn't think that much about it."

Then I won't disturb your rest any longer, I'll be going now...

Seeing that Zhu Chongjiu was about to get angry, Xiao Jin made an excuse and hurriedly left Zhu Chongjiu's room.

"Look at you, why did you suddenly get angry with Brother Jin?"

Does that mean the boss can just lash out at his underlings?

Inside Zhu Chongjiu's room, Xu Wang, who was just eating and drinking for free, saw the other party scolding Xiao Jin and spoke up for Xiao Jin.

"Was I angry? I felt that most people have changed."

And you, you vain one, you once said you'd help us get on our way.

But for the past ten years or so, it has always been Xiao Hei pulling the cart.

But you've been gambling and fooling around with Xiao Jin and his gang all this time.

Isn't this a bit inappropriate?

"How come the conversation has suddenly turned around and the issue is now focusing on me?"

Seeing that Zhu Chongjiu's expression was not right, Xuwang hurriedly stood up and said, "Indeed!"

"Little Black should rest now. I'll take over the rest of the journey. I'll go relieve him."

After saying that, the illusory figure disappeared from the spot.

Zhu Chongjiu, who was now alone in his room, pondered for a moment before finally saying, "Except for Xu Wang who is pulling the cart, everyone else, gather at the bow of the ship within half an hour."

Although he was only speaking inside the room, his voice reached everyone's ears.

Zhu Chongjiu arrived at the bow of the ship early and watched the figures hurriedly gathering there. His mood improved a little.

"It seems that the most basic rules haven't been forgotten."

The agreed-upon time was half an hour, but the actual time to assemble was only one-third of the allotted time.

As he looked at the photos, Zhu Chongjiu began to ponder and recall past events.

Because of these hundreds of years of war, he has encountered slaves from immortal sects, wanderers on the road, and human races who came to admire him, and so on...

From these people, another 30,000 were selected.

These 30,000 people were prepared for those three little ones.

Therefore, at this moment, there are already 80,000 soldiers from the Ancient God Alliance on the warship.

Moreover, even the lowest level is a high-ranking Heavenly General.

The main force is still composed of players at the top level.

These will all become the real generals of the army in the future.

As for the ordinary soldiers of the Ancient God Alliance, Zhu Chongjiu made a request to the human race after everyone settled in Yanhuang Tianxia.

In his mind, the members of the Ancient God Alliance, whether generals or ordinary soldiers, should still be predominantly human.

When the humans heard his request, they not only did not object, but also strongly supported it.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the human race doesn't have a large population right now; remember, the human race is not like the immortal race.

Humans have an undeniable capacity for reproduction.

The reasons for the previously small human population are self-evident and need no further explanation.

Another point is that some people believe that even if they were suppressed by the Immortal Clan, after so many years, with the full strength of the entire clan, they could still secretly create a few beings at the Celestial Venerable level.

Why is it possible to have none at all?

As Zhu Chongjiu's cultivation level continued to improve, he also learned the truth about this matter.

Humans and immortals may look alike, but their physical structures are also quite similar.

But the essential difference lies in the "celestial spirit".

Unlike the immortals, humans are born without any immortal spirit within them, while immortals do.

However, humans still need to cultivate, and can only condense an acquired immortal spirit within their bodies.

Because what you cultivate are all the magical arts and supernatural powers of the immortal race. Without immortal spirit, then I'm sorry, you can't cultivate them.

If the immortals are already suppressing the human race, then why are they still allowing the human race to cultivate?

First, it is only possible to use magic and supernatural powers to complete.

The second point, which is also the most important point.

That means, no matter how much you humans train, your highest achievement is only the Emperor level.

As for whether those beings left behind any methods of inheritance for the human race after they left?

Zhu Chongjiu believed that it definitely existed.

It just wasn't in the hands of the human race.

Where is it?

When you have the ability, you can ask those giants of the Immortal Clan.

Thinking of this, Zhu Chongjiu recalled the "Five Elements Body Forging Technique" that Shenxu King had given him.

This cultivation method, which is truly suited to the human race, is of unknown origin.

Moreover, those people from the Azure God Realm.

From Zhu Chongjiu's current perspective, their cultivation methods, while profound, could even be described as crude.

However, none of them needed to condense their acquired immortal spirit to cultivate and comprehend the laws of heaven and earth.

Unlike the humans in the immortal realm.

This leads to the conclusion.

The Azure God Realm, the Divine Void King, and Shui Ying are all incredibly mysterious beings.

Especially the God-King of the Void, who has mysteriously disappeared in the Azure God Realm...

"Alliance Leader, everyone has assembled. Please give further instructions!"

Xiao Feng's powerful voice pulled Zhu Chongjiu back to reality from his reverie.

"Okay, back to the team!"

Looking at the 80,000-strong army now lined up in formation, Zhu Chongjiu slowly addressed the army, saying, "I have called you all together today because I have discovered something very frightening."

Moreover, this matter is escalating rapidly within our large team.

Everyone was astonished when they heard this.

But no one spoke up or whispered to each other, not even Xiao Jin, who was usually the most undisciplined.

Xiao Jin knew that based on his ninth brother's behavior towards him just now, plus his current expression, something must have happened.

And just like Ninth Brother said, it's a very important matter.

They can joke and banter all the time, but when it comes to a real fight, none of the kids are ungrateful.

"Okay, you did a great job."

Xiao Feng did a really good job in terms of military appearance and discipline.

"You will all become generals in the future, and you should learn this from your current leader, Xiao Feng."

After praising him, Zhu Chongjiu continued, "As for the very serious matter I mentioned, it can actually be summed up in just four words."

These four words are "Arrogance leads to defeat"!

Little Jin….

At this point, Zhu Chongjiu ordered Xiao Jin to come before him.

"Explain to everyone what 'pride comes before a fall' means."

I've told you this story more than once!

As for Xiao Jin, when he heard Zhu Chongjiu say "an arrogant army is bound to be defeated," he understood everything.

Due to the army's winning streak, especially the exaggerated and frighteningly high kill ratio.

This has instilled in the army, to varying degrees, a sense of self-reliance and a belief that "if not me, then who?"

Even Xiao Jin himself had a bit of an "I'm the best in the world" mentality at this point.

If things continue like this, it will truly be like the story that Brother Jiu told back then, when an individual or a group...

The more arrogant and overconfident he becomes, the faster he will break down when faced with problems.

Whether in military or commercial terms.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jin did not directly repeat the stories that Zhu Chongjiu had told them.

Instead, after a moment of contemplation, he organized his thoughts and asked everyone a question: "When you think of someone you despise..."

How would you feel if one day he suddenly surpassed you in every way?

Or what would you do?

Don't engage in empty talk or boasting; be realistic and put yourself in the other person's shoes when considering this issue.

I will ask everyone for the answer in ten minutes.

After saying that, Xiao Jin fell silent.

Upon hearing Xiao Jin's question, everyone in the army lowered their heads and began to ponder.

Seeing this, Zhu Chongjiu nodded, a smile on his lips, and turned to leave, returning to his room.

He knew that the people he had chosen, while not all of them were exceptional individuals, were all exceptionally intelligent.

After all, these will be the elites of the Ancient God Alliance in the future, serving as generals.

For intelligent people, there's no need for grand theories; a simple point is enough to understand.
