In Qiming City, everyone was waiting for Ji Jiayu to make a decision—would he save humanity, the light race first, or the mixed-race child?

Clearly, no matter who he chose to save first, it would cause displeasure among the other two races, and there was a high probability that it would be more than just displeasure.

Ji Jiayu was human, so from this perspective, he should save humanity first. However, he was still the person in charge of the Holy Light Pearl, a member of the Holy Sect, nominally. In terms of clan origin, he was already a member of the Light Clan, and he was still in the Holy Kingdom now, and would be in the Holy Kingdom in the future.

This made it difficult to choose.

Which clan would he save first? Everyone stared at Ji Jiayu.

Suddenly, Ji Jiayu moved. Upon seeing the direction he was moving, there was a burst of exclamations.

In the golden world, Ji Jiayu, who had been pondering for a long time, finally made his decision. The next moment, a strong wind pattern activated, and he stomped his feet on the ground and suddenly rushed towards the human race. At the same time, he summoned the Holy Light Ball and injected a large amount of divine power into it, followed by the Holy Light shining in all directions.

After the humans were illuminated by the Holy Light, the black mist no longer appeared on the surface of their bodies. A "swoosh" sound was heard, and the fine demonic qi particles that made up the black mist seemed to be purified and dissipated.

However, the eyes of those humans were still red, and it seemed the Holy Light wasn't of much use to them.

Ji Jiayu's brow furrowed slightly, somewhat surprised.

His spiritual power surged out of his body, and in an instant, it enveloped the group of humans, testing their condition. The Holy Light purified their demonic skin and bones, but failed to solve the problem of their minds being eroded by demonic energy. Specifically, the Holy Light could only slightly delay the erosion of demonic energy.

Ji Jiayu thought for a moment and came to a conclusion: it must be that the holy light was too diffuse, and if the holy light were concentrated on someone, it should be able to purify their soul.

So who would be the first person?

Ji Jiayu's eyes wandered and stopped on Ding Lu's body, but quickly swept back again. Although Ding Lu was a friend, like a member of the Guangming tribe, he wasn't the most suitable candidate.

Soon, Ji Jiayu found a human teenager. He first retrieved the holy light, then condensed it into a beam of light and shone it on the human boy.

The holy light enveloped the human youth, purifying his skin, bones, blood, bone marrow, and then his soul.

"Boom!" A buzzing sound rang out in the void.

Ji Jiayu looked closely and discovered that the red in the human boy's eyes was gradually fading, and the evil aura emanating from his body was also diminishing. However, this didn't relax Ji Jiayu, but instead made his heart even heavier.

It would take a long time for such a human teenager to return to normal, and there were over a hundred humans whose hearts were being eroded by demonic energy. Could the Light Race and the hybrids nearby really survive until then?

Ji Jiayu didn't dare to think too much and continued to do his best to save this human teenager.

As for Nie Lanxi, she always stayed by Ji Jiayu's side. The owner of the loud voice didn't speak or appear again, and the atmosphere at the scene was tense and depressing.

On the other hand, in Qiming City, after a brief moment of shock, everyone broke out into a riot.

There was no doubt that the original image of hundreds of Light People in the Golden World in danger had attracted the attention of all the Light People in Qiming City. Although they disliked Ji Jiayu, and this demonstration was also a boycott of humanity and Ji Jiayu, they could only see Ji Jiayu as the only hope for saving the Light Race in the Golden World. Many of them were relatives and friends of the Light People in the Golden World.

However, Ji Jiayu's choice left them feeling chilled. Ji Jiayu actually chose to save humanity first!

"You see, this is humanity, this is the person in charge of the Sacred Gem! Giving the Sacred Gem to such a person and allowing such a person to join the Sacred Sect is the most wrong thing the great prophet has done in nearly a hundred years!"

"Disappointed, so disappointing! In this case, he chose to save his own people first. What will he choose if the Guangming clan encounters something even more dangerous in the future?"

"I've never encountered such a speechless thing!"

"After this incident, we must seize his Sacred Gem to seize power, have him withdraw from the Sacred Sect, and get out of the Sacred Kingdom!"

"A person like this doesn't deserve to remain in the Sacred Kingdom!"

Initially, this parade was aimed at all races, but now, after seeing Ji Jiayu's actions, most of the Guangming people pointed fingers at Ji Jiayu.

They shouted slogans again.

"Revoke Ji Jiayu's identity as the person in charge of the Sacred Gem!"

"Expell him from the Sacred Sect, get out of the Sacred Kingdom!"

Under the crowd's fury, someone began to attack the Qiming lobby.

However, the emotions of the humans in Qiming City were a little complicated. Logically, they were humans, and they should be happy to see Ji Jiayu choose to save humanity first. But this wasn't the case. They were not only unhappy, but also a little angry.

"What is Ji Jiayu thinking?"

"If he really likes us, it will definitely lead to even more conflict. Doesn't he know that we can see it?"

"You probably don't know. If you did, you should pretend to save the Guangming people first..."

"Don't be sentimental. Which of us orphans wasn't rescued by the Guangming clan and brought to Sacred Chenghai by them? Which one didn't receive the resources and cultivation methods they provided? How many would have special feelings for humanity? He must have his own considerations."

"I think so. Perhaps the best solution is to save humanity first. Perhaps our humanity is more capable of resisting the demon race's methods, or perhaps the light race is stronger, thus ranking last."

Everyone was talking, but no matter how much they talked, they couldn't change the fact that the Guangming Clan's anger was gradually growing. After all, it was their Guangming Clan that was "abandoned" by Ji Jiayu.

Not only the humans, but the mixed-race children in Qiming City were also a little angry. As mixed-race children, their identities and statuses were already somewhat embarrassing.

"What are you doing? You hit me?" Suddenly, an angry voice rang out from the crowd.

When everyone heard the voice, it was someone from the Light Clan accusing the humans. The human was filled with confusion, completely unaware of what he had done.

"Isn't it the Light Supremacy Sect again?" Questions were raised.

"Do you still need the Light Supremacy Sect to fuel the fire? Everyone present had a fire in their hearts, and it was only a small one."

Indeed, just after the Guangming Clan's shout, a physical altercation broke out between several others, which gradually escalated into a small-scale riot.

The chaos that had occurred in the Holy City seemed to be repeating itself in Qiming City.

However, with the change of Ji Jiayu's identity, this conflict seems to have become more intense.
