The Holy Maiden Uncovers My Coffin When I Just Become An Emperor's Corpse

The wild girl whispered a few words with the wild man behind her before answering Yang Yan.

"We are successors of the ancient human clan, and my name is Zhe Yan, descendant of the Sui Emperor!"

Yang Yan furrowed his brow.

"Ancient human clan? Descendants of the Sui people?"

The ancient human clan, as recorded in the Divine Dao Heavenly Book, was the human clan of the Zhulong era, referred to as the ancient human clan.

After Zhulong's death, it marked the ancient period of the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns.

In later times, when many great emperors emerged and unified the heavens, they were called ancestors.

Today's cultivators are human clan cultivators, with no additional enhancements.

"Do you know the human ancestor emperor, the Sui Emperor?" The wild girl Zhe Yan slightly raised her eyebrow as she spoke.

Nowadays, not many in the human clan know of the Sui Emperor.

Yang Yan nodded.

"Not only have I heard of him, but I have also read his stories.

For example, extracting fire from wood, slaying Zhulong, and governing day and night," he said slowly.

The wild girl gazed at Yang Yan.

"Since you know, ignite the oil lamp and prove yourself to be human."

As she spoke, Yang Yan's heart tightened.

*Could all those legends and biographies he read be true?*

*Did the Sui Emperor truly slay Zhulong and controlled day and night back then?*

But now was not the time to ask these questions.

"Why does lighting an oil lamp prove oneself to be human, and why must I prove I am human?

Do I not appear to be human?" Yang Yan asked in confusion.

"And why do you obstruct me? Does it matter to you whether I am human?"

The wild girl's trust in Yang Yan increased significantly after he mentioned the Sui Emperor, so she began to explain carefully to him.

"There is no flame in the fire stick.

But if you are of the human clan, there must be true fire within you.

At that time, you need only pick up the fire stick, and you can use the true fire within to ignite it.

Then, with the fire stick, ignite the oil lamp.

If the oil lamp lights up and your true fire is strong, you will be able to see the statue of the Sui Emperor, and then you will gain our trust and be welcomed to rest in our tribe.

If you do not see the statue of the Sui Emperor, you are merely an ordinary descendant, having lost nearly all of the true fire over generations.

We would not invite you to rest, and you can leave on your own.

Do not worry, for if you are human, there will be true fire within, however much it has diminished over the ages.

As for why the oil lamp needs to be lit to confirm you are human, it is because appearances can be deceiving."

The wild girl paused!

"Throughout time, the human clan has been the greatest clan under heaven, having survived numerous tribulations and produced countless offspring.

With so many people, it became impossible to discern every individual's true nature.

Over the years, many non-human beings infiltrated the human clan.

For example, demons!

They consume human flesh and wear human skins, going unnoticed.

They blend in with the human clan, eating more humans and harming more humans.

This is something we cannot allow!"

The wild girl finished explaining and fixed her gaze on Yang Yan.

"If you are human, so be it.

If not, today you shall surely die!

This is a rule set by our clan since ancient times!

Any human clan must be treated this way, no matter who they are!"

Yang Yan understood.

"If I prove I am human, it won't be easy to settle this.

Your attack on me won't be forgiven easily," he stated.

The wild girl looked serious.

"Very well, if you see the statue of the Sui Emperor, we will apologize and compensate you.

If not, and you are just an ordinary descendant, we will not apologize.

Because we, the ancient human clan, were driven here by the descendants, to this dangerous wilderness border!" she continued.

Driven?

Wilderness border?

Yang Yan vaguely understood why this group of wild people were hostile toward him.

"We are all human, why should we harm each other?" he said as he raised his hand, and the fire stick fell into his grasp.

The wild girl only snorted coldly at his words, without saying anything else.

Yang Yan opened the fire stick; inside there was only dried grass, nothing else.

Only then did he feel at ease holding it, clenching it tightly.

In the next moment, a small stream of white light emerged from his body, floating and entering the fire stick.

"Such rich true fire!" the wild girl exclaimed in surprise.

The other wild people watched Yang Yan with astonished expressions, hardly believing their eyes.

Yang Yan remained expressionless.

*He realized that most of the white light did not originate from him.*

*These white lights were entities infused into him by others.*

"That woman!"

At the ruins of the Ancient Fairy Sect, when he sent Huahua away, he met a woman claiming to be from ten thousand years ago.

*These white lights were infused into him by that woman!*

*At that time, she had said, possessing the white light would make him the most trusted among humans!*

*Why did that woman possess such abundant true fire power within her?* he pondered.

Now, as the true fire spread, it merged into the fire stick.

The fire stick ignited instantly, and a blazing white flame surged forth.

Yang Yan raised his hand, and the oil lamp fell into his grasp.

He brought the fire stick closer.

The white flame easily ignited the oil lamp, and it came alight.

An orange-red flame stood upright, emitting wisps of white smoke above.

The white smoke floated mysteriously, wavering in the air.

It did not dissipate, but lingered in the air.

As time passed, the wisps of white smoke solidified in the air.

A human figure slowly formed, tall and imposing, standing there like a true god.

The wild girl Zhe Yan and the other wild people knelt on one knee, calling out loudly.

"Greetings, ancestor!"

Yang Yan, however, did not follow their example, for what he saw of the Sui Emperor's figure differed from what the wild girl and the others saw.

The white smoke drifting in the air formed the figure of the Sui Emperor.

In the eyes of the wild girl and others, it was a blurry shape.

In his eyes, it appeared as a true god.

He emerged from the void, although he appeared as a wild man.

Yet his entire being radiated with an endless fire, blazing fiercely.

Within the flames lay a vast world.

In there, fierce beasts roamed free, and humans fought against them.

Using their bodies to battle the fierce beasts' physiques.

The figure of the Sui Emperor came near, his eyes calm.

His body collided with Yang Yan's physique, and countless images emerged in Yang Yan's mind.

All of these scenes depicted the ancient times, the gradual development of the human clan under the leadership of the Sui Emperor.

The wild girl and the other wild people gazed up at Yang Yan, seeing an intense white light radiating from him.

"True fire like an aura, he must be close to the statue of the Sui Emperor!" the wild girl remarked in amazement.

Among their tribe, some could also see the statue of the Sui Emperor.

For instance, her!

She had seen the statue but only from afar.

Thus, the light from her body was like a fleeting crescent moon or shooting star.

However, only those who truly approached the statue of the Sui Emperor could achieve the level of true fire shining brightly like an aura.

This was clearly recorded within their tribe!

"Is there still such a human in this world?" the other wild people wondered in shock.

Even among those who claimed to be descendants of the Sui people, no one could match Yang Yan's level!

After a while, Yang Yan absorbed all the memories and slowly opened his eyes.

Noticing the stunned expressions of the wild girl Zhe Yan and the wild people watching him, Yang Yan waved his hand, and the fire stick and oil lamp fell before them.

"Now, can it be proven that I am human?" he asked.
