Rewriting the Gods

However, this is not a troublesome matter. As a transmigrator, Jiang Haofeng already knew the trajectory of the prehistoric world's development. He knew about the problems he was facing now a month and a half ago.

Jiang Haofeng had pondered these problems for countless years and had long since devised an effective solution.

This is also the reason why Jiang Haofeng summoned the clan elders this time. At the same time, this solution is also one of the few trump cards that Jiang Haofeng has been holding but has not yet released!

As the golden bell rang, a beam of celestial light immediately rose from the foot of Zhonghuang Mountain and landed in the ancestral pavilion. At the same time, in Taihao City, a hundred miles south of Zhonghuang Mountain, the Great Nest also broke through the sky and arrived.

There were only these two streaks of light around Zhonghuang Mountain.

That's right. Not counting Lei Zhenzi, who has only recently become a Quasi-Saint, there are only three Quasi-Saint elders in the core of the human race. The other six elders are in other places!
That's normal, after all, with Jiang Haofeng in Zhonghuang Mountain, the ancestral court of the human race is as stable as Mount Tai, so it's okay if there are fewer people guarding it.

After greeting Zhisheng and Dachao, Jiang Haofeng's gaze pierced through the void and landed on Lei Zhenzi, who was hesitating in the Tai Xuan Palace.

At this moment, Lei Zhenzi was also hesitant, unsure whether he should go to the ancestral pavilion.

Among the human race, there are clan elders, supreme elders, and elders. These three are respectively quasi-saints, great Luo golden immortals, and Taiyi golden immortals.

Logically speaking, Lei Zhenzi, having attained the cultivation of a quasi-saint, should be considered an elder of the human race. However, Lei Zhenzi has only recently broken through and has not yet gained the recognition of the masses, so strictly speaking, he cannot be considered an elder of the human race.

If you go and everyone approves, that's great, everyone's happy. But if you go and everyone doesn't approve, that would be a bit awkward, although that kind of thing is practically impossible.

But Lei Zhenzi was still a little worried, mainly because he was afraid of being embarrassed.

If only I had consulted my master before leaving, I wouldn't have been in such a predicament.

Seeing Lei Zhenzi's hesitant expression, Jiang Haofeng shook his head and chuckled, then transmitted his voice, "Lei Zhenzi, come to the Ancestral Pavilion!"

Inside the Tai Xuan Palace, upon hearing Jiang Haofeng's words, Lei Zhenzi, who had been hesitating, immediately showed a relaxed expression. He bowed towards the ancestral pavilion and said, "Yes, Master!"

With a flash of wind and thunder Dao aura around him, Lei Zhenzi's figure appeared in front of the ancestral pavilion.

Looking at the simple wooden house in front of him, Lei Zhenzi's face showed a look of respect. Don't underestimate this small wooden house, it represents the highest level of power of the human race.

Once you step into this place, you are qualified to make decisions on behalf of the boundless human race.

Beyond the symbolic meaning of this wooden house, the house itself is worthy of respect. It was the first house built by the human race, the first wooden house built by Youchao, leading the human race into a new era.

Aside from its symbolic meaning, this wooden house is itself a treasure of acquired merit, and one of the most precious treasures of human destiny!

When it was first created, it received the blessing of Heavenly Merit, and this wooden house became a treasure of acquired merit comparable to a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Later, as the human race grew stronger, the story of the Great Nest spread far and wide, and this first wooden house of the human race became a product that embodied the human race's destiny.

As a large amount of good fortune converged, this acquired treasure of merit transformed into a treasure of good fortune.

Now that a eon and a half has passed, the power of this wooden house is comparable to that of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, and its power is especially strong in a place where the human race's fortune gathers.

It's not impossible that this wooden house could withstand a saint's attack within the ancestral home of the human race!

After straightening his clothes, Lei Zhenzi strode into the ancestral hall and bowed, saying, "Disciple Lei Zhenzi greets Master, Ancestor Zhisheng, and Ancestor Dachao!"

"No need to be polite!"

Jiang Haofeng smiled and raised his hand.

"Fellow Daoist, you are too kind." Upon seeing this, Zhisheng immediately returned the greeting with a cupped hand, as if they were peers. Lei Zhenzi was already a Quasi-Saint, having entered the ranks of the great beings of the Primordial World!

Compared to Jiang Haofeng and Zhisheng's composure, Da Chao's face showed surprise.

"Quasi-Saint!"

"Our human race has gained another quasi-saint!"

Faced with the great shock of the Great Nest, Lei Zhenzi humbly said:

"A lucky breakthrough!"

Sitting in the main seat, Jiang Haofeng smiled and said, "Lei Zhenzi, originally, after you attained the quasi-sainthood and became the Primordial Dao, you should have convened a clan meeting of our human race to inform all the elders of the human race and become the new elder of our human race."

"However, before that, I was injured by the guide and went into seclusion. I could not come out of seclusion easily, so I did not hold a clan meeting at that time."

"Today is a good opportunity to meet with the elders of the clan and to appoint the clan elders."

"Yes, Master!"

Lei Zhenzi bowed respectfully.

Jiang Haofeng smiled and nodded, gesturing for Lei Zhenzi to sit on the prepared prayer mat.

Not long after Lei Zhenzi took his seat, the remaining six elders of the human race arrived one after another. The first was Cangjie, who had lived in seclusion in the Fire Cloud Cave with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and would only come out of the mountains when the human race encountered a crisis.

Next came the four great human gods of the Heavenly Court—Suiren, Zhuxiang, Shaodian, and Nüba!

These four individuals—three late-stage Quasi-Saints and one peak Quasi-Saint—represent the core fighting force of the entire human race. They are also the main reason why, despite not holding a dominant position in the Heavenly Court, the human race is still able to suppress Haotian and indirectly control half of the Heavenly Court.

With those four around, the human race can gain a foothold in the Heavenly Court.

Next was Hao Ying, who was traveling through the prehistoric world. Not long after his breakthrough, Hao Ying began to travel through the prehistoric world after digesting his own understanding of the Great Dao, hoping to find a glimmer of opportunity during his travels.

Finally, there was Xuan Du, who looked somewhat travel-worn. As a powerful cultivator at the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm, Xuan Du was naturally unaffected by the sandstorm.

But the clean Taoist robe couldn't hide Xuan Du's slightly weathered eyes; it was clear that Xuan Du had been wandering in the prehistoric world for a long time.

As for why, everyone on the field knew—it was to hunt down Lu Ya, the crown prince of the demon race!

In his desperation, Lu Ya attempted to slaughter humans to liberate the demon race. Although his power was unleashed, he incurred the hatred of Xuan Du. Initially, out of respect for the Sage Taiqing, Xuan Du hesitated to intervene in the conflict between humans and the Chan Sect. However, as soon as the Investiture of the Gods ended, Xuan Du immediately set out to hunt down Lu Ya.

This great master of the three religions, who would later become famous, shocked the entire prehistoric world with his first move.

When being chased, Lu Ya wouldn't be in a good mood. Seeing that Xuan Du was the only one there, Lu Ya immediately wanted to take him down. If that didn't work, he wanted to severely injure Xuan Du so that Xuan Du wouldn't dare to attack him again, thus solving this problem once and for all.

However, the moment Lu Ya and Xuan Du clashed, Lu Ya realized that he seemed to be no match for the man before him.

After only a few dozen rounds, Lu Ya was at a disadvantage.

Unable to match his own supernatural powers, Lu Ya immediately took out his magic weapon, while Xuan Du took out a collection of Laozi's treasures. Seeing the magic weapon in Xuan Du's hand that shone with innate spiritual light, Lu Ya put it away and disappeared into the void as a rainbow of light.

Thus began a thousand-year manhunt. Xuandu used various methods to pursue Lu Ya, but Lu Ya's innate supernatural powers were too strong. His Golden Crow Rainbow Transformation Technique was the fastest in the primordial world.

Even though Xuandu was also proficient in escape techniques, he could not completely catch up with him. At most, he could only stay behind and follow him.

And so, Lu Ya was hunted down by Xuan Du for a thousand years. If the golden bell of the clan meeting had not rung at this moment, Xuan Du would still be chasing him.

However, Xuandu knew very well that it would be difficult to catch Lu Ya by himself alone. Even if the clan meeting had not been held, Xuandu would most likely have given up the pursuit and looked for a better opportunity later.

A thousand years have passed; the human race should have made a name for itself by now. The time is almost up.

Now is the perfect time to take advantage of this human clan meeting to stop the pursuit.

With the arrival of Xuandu, all eleven elders of the human race were present!
Once everyone had arrived and exchanged pleasantries, Jiang Haofeng immediately began to recount Lei Zhenzi's story, drawing everyone's attention to him.

Lei Zhenzi was not intimidated and immediately revealed his own Wind and Thunder Dao. The two completely different Dao merged into a new Dao. Wind and Thunder combined and forged a new path!
After sensing Lei Zhenzi's cultivation level, the next step was simple: the ten existing elders voted, and it was unanimously approved that Lei Zhenzi would officially become the eleventh elder of the human race!
After establishing Lei Zhenzi's status as a clan elder, Jiang Haofeng formally stated the purpose of convening this clan meeting.

This clan gathering wasn't convened specifically for Lei Zhenzi; Jiang Haofeng had more important matters to discuss.

Jiang Haofeng looked at the ten human elders before him and said:

"The weakest among you here is a Quasi-Saint, so you can naturally sense the secrets of the Primordial World. I won't go into too much detail about the situation in the Primordial World, as you all should already know."

"What Heaven needs is a balance between Heaven, Earth, and Humanity in order to maintain the normal operation of the primordial world."

"With the return of these six sages, as well as the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, only two of the nine Primordial Purple Qi remained. Correspondingly, the amount of Primordial Origin Power that humanity could possess was reduced to two-ninths of its original value!"

"In other words, the primordial world's capacity to support living beings has decreased."

"Currently, the development of our human race has almost reached its limit. If we continue to develop, our human race will become a negative factor in the prehistoric world. At that time, let alone receiving the favor of the Heavenly Dao, it will be more likely that the Heavenly Dao will reject us."

"The human race is already powerful enough; it cannot become any stronger."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the elders present turned solemn, their brows furrowed. Jiang Haofeng was no exception; no one wanted to see the human race's development stagnate.

To put it bluntly, the current cultivation speed of the clan is not much slower than in ancient times. If it develops well, after another great eon, the number of Golden Immortals and Taiyi Golden Immortals in the human race can double!
The number of Great Luo Golden Immortals may not double, but it is possible that it could increase by forty or fifty.

The great calamity will probably be coming soon.

Time in the primordial era is the least valuable, and the history of the primordial era is also very long. The five races of dragon, phoenix, qilin, witch and demon are precedents. If they continue to expand, what will happen to the human race in the future may not be much better than that of the five races.

After explaining the situation, Jiang Haofeng's gaze swept over everyone present. Although their expressions were not right, they mostly looked helpless.

That's all we can do!

Just as everyone was about to agree, Jiang Haofeng spoke first, saying, "However, the number of Golden Immortals and above in our clan is sufficient. This does not mean that we have nothing to do, nor does it mean that our human race will stop developing."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes lit up instantly. Judging from Haofeng's words, he must have some good ideas now.

Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, Jiang Haofeng spoke:

"First of all, there shouldn't be too many immortals in the clan. If the number of cultivators increases, the number of people breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm will naturally increase as well. We should control the spread of various cultivation methods in the mortal world!"

"With fewer people cultivating immortality, the number of people breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm will naturally decrease, and the primordial origin occupied by our human race will naturally be under control."

"However, while control is necessary, the spread of these methods in the human world must not be stopped. As the saying goes, the Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and one is hidden!"

"No matter what, we must leave a sliver of hope for the beings of our tribe to transcend!"

As soon as Jiang Haofeng finished speaking, Suiren frowned and said, "Controlling cultivation methods is fine for a short time, but in the long run, the power of mortals in the clan will inevitably be greatly weakened. At that time, there will probably be very few human experts in the human world, and the strength of the entire human world will be reduced to the extreme."

"At that time, even a few minor demons might be able to wreak havoc on the human world."

"It's alright in the primordial world, with the Heavenly Court and its heavenly soldiers and generals protecting it, but things will be troublesome in the Great Thousand Worlds."

"Without enough immortals, it's still a question whether the clan can suppress the demon race."

The primordial world is only so big, and the human destiny is only so much. The human race has already occupied the majority and dares not occupy any more. They can only control the cultivation methods, but while the human race controls them, other races do not.

After all, other races don't have this problem. Their strength is far from reaching the point where they need to consider divine punishment and trigger a great calamity!
If it were a fair competition, the human race could easily suppress all the other races in the primordial world. However, if the human race controlled the methods of cultivation and the number of immortals, they would be no match for the other races.

At that time, unless the Golden Immortals of the human race keep watch over the human race at all times, the various human tribes will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

However, we cannot ignore it either. Right now, the human race is the strongest in the prehistoric world, with an incredibly profound foundation. Just considering the three levels of immortals—the Great Luo Golden Immortal, the Taiyi Golden Immortal, and the Golden Immortal—the Chan Sect, the Jie Sect, Buddhism, and the Heavenly Court combined are probably no match for the human race!
If left unchecked, the human race will inevitably become the next to suffer calamity. When the great calamity falls, even if the human race does not follow in the footsteps of the other five races, it will still be severely weakened.

Hearing Suiren's words, Jiang Haofeng smiled faintly and said:

“Fellow Daoist Suiren is right, this is indeed a problem.”

"But I have already devised a solution to this matter. I have two inheritances that can enhance my strength and protect my people without increasing my lifespan or seeking transcendence!"

"Thus, all the troubles are resolved!" (End of Chapter)
