What Do I Know About the Human Race? I'm Just a Retired Old Man

On the Primordial Continent, countless races stand side by side, and the weak are prey to the strong.

Humanity is a frail race that has only just escaped enslavement, struggling to survive between the cracks as it contends with the powerful races.

But gradually, rumors spread among the various races that humanity has mastered a range of unconventional arts, including formations, forging, and alchemy, and attained a level of skill deep enough to threaten the great clans' standing. Yet when the powerful figures of the various races sought out the human Shi Muxi to ask about it, he denied everything:

“It's all just trivial tricks. They can't even feed the human race. As rulers of the continent, you mustn't believe such rumors...”

And yet, years later, the various races stared at the God-Slaying Warships advancing right to their doorsteps and fell into deep thought...

Shi Muxi: “Don't all look at me! What do I, a retired old man, know about the gadgets those humans have made?”
