Rewriting the Gods

Chapter 678 Raising an Eyebrow! The Human Realm!
After traversing the three realms, Jiang Haofeng continued his journey into the depths of chaos. After traveling about seventy percent of the distance from the Primordial World to the Demon Realm, a massive willow tree came into view.

In the boundless chaos, a towering tree took root, its thick roots penetrating deep into the chaos, drawing upon its power and continuously transforming it into pure vitality.

This vitality is of extremely high quality; according to the primordial order, it is roughly equivalent to the wood-type spiritual power of a Golden Immortal.

Each leaf of the willow tree is a vast world, inhabited by countless creatures. What's special is that all of these creatures are wood-type beings, without exception.

A continuous flow of life energy converges along the root system into every branch and leaf, nurturing the life within the leaves.

A look of surprise flashed in Jiang Haofeng's eyes. He never expected that this person would actually borrow from Zhen Yuanzi's Earth Immortal Dao, and even surpass Zhen Yuanzi, using himself as a boundary to nurture all living beings, and then using all living beings themselves.

These countless worlds are themselves part of its body, and all the living beings within them are also part of its body.

If this person were to make a move, the power of these worlds would all converge, and at that time, they would be able to rival, or even surpass, the Heavenly Saints of the Primordial World.

As expected of the great immortal who once fought alongside Hongjun against Rahu, his skills are truly remarkable.

Indeed, the person before us should be Yangmei Daxian, one of the four great immortals of the primordial world who fought against Rahu.

In the battle on Mount Sumeru, the immortal path suffered a crushing defeat. The two great immortals, Yin Yang and Qian Kun, were killed in battle, and Yang Mei was seriously injured. He managed to stay alive by relying on the Great Dao of Wood that he cultivated, and then fled into the chaos, disappearing without a trace.

Unexpectedly, this person also found their own path amidst the chaos.

By harnessing the vitality of wood to follow the path of the Earth Immortal, he fully utilized the advantages of his own body, transforming a single leaf into a world, thus pushing the path of the Earth Immortal to its peak.

If Yang Mei were to return to the primordial world now, the title of Ancestor of Earthly Immortals would likely have to be given to someone else.

Just then, from the chaos, the willow tree that blotted out the sky rose with boundless blue light. Streams of blue light flowed and eventually converged, transforming into an old man dressed in a blue Taoist robe.

The old man arrived through the air, and before he even reached the ground, he bowed and greeted the old Daoist, saying, "This old Daoist Yangmei greets fellow Daoist!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Haofeng's eyes again. Although he hadn't deliberately concealed his presence, he hadn't made a big fuss either. Compared to the enormous willow tree that blotted out the sky, Jiang Haofeng's small body was inconspicuous in this boundless chaos.

Unexpectedly, the other party still noticed. Master Yangmei is indeed not simple.

Jiang Haofeng took a step forward, and the surrounding world changed. Jiang Haofeng appeared directly in front of Yang Mei and returned the greeting, saying, "I am Haofeng of the human race. Greetings, fellow Daoist!"

The two stood facing each other. Yang Mei felt an immense pressure sweep over him, as if he were standing not with one person, but with hundreds or thousands of people. A heavy pressure swept across the land, making Yang Mei feel like he couldn't breathe.

When did such a terrifying being appear in the chaos?

Yang Mei was extremely surprised. After all, in the Chaos Realm, Quasi-Saints were already powerful beings, and the peak Quasi-Saints, the Primordial Golden Immortals, were already top-tier experts. Above them, they could be counted on one hand.

Aside from Fellow Daoist Hongjun in the primordial world, there was probably only Fellow Daoist Luohou. I never expected that there would be another one now.

Human race?

What race is this? I've never heard of them before.

Looking at Yang Mei's surprised and uncertain gaze, Jiang Haofeng immediately realized that this person must have stopped paying attention to the situation in the prehistoric world after escaping from it.

Sensing the extremely pure life force emanating from Yang Mei, Jiang Haofeng's face showed a thoughtful expression, and then he smiled and said, "Perhaps Fellow Daoist Yang Mei does not know me, but I do know Fellow Daoist Yang Mei."

"Oh?"

Yang Mei was slightly startled upon hearing this, then a look of realization appeared on his face. "Fellow Daoist is a being from the primordial era?"

"Not bad!"

Jiang Haofeng nodded slightly.

Upon hearing this, Yang Mei was even more surprised. He looked Jiang Haofeng up and down and couldn't help but exclaim, "The prehistoric world is truly a land of outstanding people and abundant resources."

"In the past, there were three great supernatural beings: the Ancestral Dragon, the Primordial Phoenix, and the First Qilin. Later, there were Rahu, Hongjun, Qiankun, Yin Yang, and the Old Daoist. And then, a peerless talent like you, Fellow Daoist, emerged!"

Jiang Haofeng smiled and asked in return, "Fellow Daoist, have you never returned to the Primordial World since you left it?"

"Not bad!"

"Back then, the Demon Ancestor Rahu relied on the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation to wreak havoc, slaughtering all in all directions and wantonly killing living beings. He killed hundreds of fellow Daoists. This old Daoist and three fellow Daoists could not tolerate Rahu's actions and fought him to a standstill!"

As he spoke, Yang Mei's face showed a look of emotion, clearly indicating that his battle with Luo Hou had left a deep impression on him.

"In the first few battles, even though Luo Hou had the Zhuxian Sword Formation to fight fiercely, he was no match for the four of you. The old Daoist and the three fellow Daoists suppressed him."

"Unexpectedly, Rahu had hidden the God-Slaying Spear, a rare treasure of the Heavenly Dao, and took it out at the crucial moment, which killed Fellow Daoist Yin Yang."

"Without Fellow Daoist Yin Yang, the three of us were unable to suppress the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation and immediately collapsed. Fellow Daoist Qian Kun was also destroyed by the Immortal Slaughtering Sword in the process and was then killed by the God-Slaying Spear."

"Seeing the situation was not good, the old Taoist hurriedly fled, but was still stabbed by the God-Slaying Spear. His immortal body was shattered and his soul was severely injured. If the old Taoist had not cultivated the Great Dao of Life, he would probably have perished under the Rahu Spear back then!"

Thinking of this, Yang Mei's face showed lingering fear. Even though Yang Mei's injuries had healed and his cultivation had greatly improved through the Earth Immortal Path, far surpassing his previous level, Yang Mei was still apprehensive.

Although his cultivation has greatly improved, he is still no match for Rahu.

Firstly, Rahu did not stand still and wait for himself to improve. Over the years, Rahu's cultivation has been constantly improving. Moreover, even Rahu during the Dao-Demon Tribulation was no match for Yang Meiyan!

The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, the number one killing formation in the Chaos Realm!
The God-Slaying Spear, the second most powerful killing weapon in Chaos!
This is no joke. Perhaps Luo Hou's cultivation was not as good as Yang Mei's now, but with the addition of magic weapons, even two Yang Meis would have to go around him.

"Fortunately, I heard that Fellow Daoist Hongjun has achieved great success in his Dao and attained sainthood, defeating Rahu."

Jiang Haofeng nodded with a smile, "That's right. Luo Hou escaped with serious injuries, the Four Swords of Zhuxian were knocked down in rank, falling from innate supreme treasures to top-grade innate spiritual treasures, and the God-Slaying Spear is nowhere to be found."

Yang Mei was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then nodded repeatedly and said, "The Four Swords of Zhuxian have been demoted in rank, which is a good thing. We'll wait until they're demoted."

"Those four swords are too fierce. It's really frightening if they don't knock down your rank."

Jiang Haofeng looked at Yang Mei with some surprise, "Fellow Daoist doesn't know these things?"

He raised his eyebrows and shook his head repeatedly:

"I was unaware of it. After I escaped the primordial world, I recuperated in the chaos. During the process of healing, I discovered that the dragon and phoenix races had established a domain in the chaos to reproduce their species. I was delighted by this, so after my injuries healed, I also established a spiritual domain to specifically nurture the essence of plants and trees!"

"Afterwards, I heard that Luo Hou had escaped from the prehistoric world and was wandering in the chaos. I dared not stay any longer and took the Spirit Realm far away from the prehistoric world. On the way, I felt that it was really inconvenient to travel with so many worlds, so I refined all the worlds into my body."

"Unexpectedly, I discovered a cultivation path suitable for an old Taoist, which led to who I am today."

That's it!

Jiang Haofeng's face showed a look of sudden realization. No wonder there were legends of the Four Chaotic Domains deep within the Chaos; so that's how they came about. Yang Mei could be considered to have turned misfortune into blessing. Because he was traumatized by Luo Hou and was afraid that Luo Hou would come to kill him, he directly fled with millions of worlds. On the way, finding it troublesome, he accidentally embarked on a cultivation path that suited him.

He possessed strength comparable to a Heavenly Saint.

"By the way, fellow Daoist, could you tell this old Daoist about the current situation in the prehistoric world?"

Jiang Haofeng nodded with a smile, "Of course."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Haofeng waved his hand, and nine-colored blood light rose around him. A nine-colored Dao Palace appeared in the chaos, and a nine-colored table stood at the core of the Dao Palace, with a futon on each side.

"This is a long story, why don't we sit down and discuss it?"

Jiang Haofeng raised his hand in a gesture of invitation.

"Very good, very good!"

The two took their seats one after the other, raised their eyebrows and waved their hands. A rich life force circulated, and two emerald green wooden wine cups and a wine pot appeared on the table. Inside the wine pot, the emerald green wine swayed slightly, exuding a rich life force.

"Fellow Daoist, you have come from afar. It is fate that we meet. Please try this old Daoist's Life-Creating Wine!"

"Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Yangmei!"

Jiang Haofeng didn't stand on ceremony. He picked up his wine cup and took a sip. The wine entered his stomach and transformed into pure life force, flowing into Jiang Haofeng's limbs and bones. Although it was of little use to Jiang Haofeng, it could be used to save the lives of the other quasi-saints.

What a good thing.

"Fellow Daoist, please tell me what happened after Rahu was banished."

"it is good!"

"It is said that during the Demon Tribulation, Rahu ran rampant. The Immortal Ancestor Hongjun severed his own three corpses—good, evil, and self—and combined them with his original self to form a four-in-one entity, breaking the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation. Then, by merging the three corpses into one, he proved the Great Dao of True Self."

"Later, he preached at Zixiao Palace, united with the primordial Heavenly Dao, and established the Six Sages of the Heavenly Dao..."

Jiang Haofeng slowly recounted what happened after the Great Founding of the Primordial World, which also answered Yang Mei's question. After a moment, a look of admiration appeared on Yang Mei's face.

"Fellow Daoist's abilities are truly astonishing!"

"To have grown from a being born after birth to become a Great Dao Saint is truly admirable!"

"No, I should call you senior."

As he spoke, Yang Mei stood up abruptly, about to bow, and simultaneously said, "Yang Mei greets the former..."

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need for that. Just address me as Fellow Daoist."

Before Yang Mei could even bow, Jiang Haofeng interrupted her, his mind surging with immense nine-colored magical power, forcibly forcing her back down.

He raised his eyebrows in surprise, feeling the power he couldn't resist at all. He looked at Jiang Haofeng with a mixture of astonishment and doubt, and a hint of confusion in his eyes.

No, you're already so powerful, what's wrong with me calling you senior?

Jiang Haofeng understood Yang Mei's meaning and explained with a smile, "In terms of cultivation, I am your senior; in terms of age and experience, you are my senior."

"Since that's the case, why bother with all that? Just address me as 'fellow Daoist'."

"Let's not talk about that anymore, Fellow Daoist Yangmei. We hit it off immediately, so why don't we have a discussion about the Dao?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Mei immediately put the matter out of his mind. It was just a title, it didn't matter what he was called, the discussion of the Dao was more important.

"my pleasure!"

A moment later, nine-colored mystic light and misty blue immortal light rose up, the two great Daos intertwining in the void.

In terms of total output, Jiang Haofeng far surpasses Yang Mei; in terms of quality, Yang Mei's product is far superior to Jiang Haofeng's.

·······
Time flies by, and in the blink of an eye, a thousand years have passed.

Jiang Haofeng bid farewell to Yang Mei and once again ventured into the depths of chaos.

With each step he takes, the surrounding world changes, allowing Jiang Haofeng to traverse immeasurable distances.

Jiang Haofeng smiled, a pleasant surprise indeed. He had originally planned to explore the Chaos, find a place of some time, and then lead human experts to spend a great deal of time to recreate a new world!
With the forty-nine Great Daos as the bones and the three thousand Great Daos as the flesh and blood, we will build a new world of humanity!
This was the human realm that Jiang Haofeng had anticipated.

Once completed, it will certainly not be as good as the prehistoric world, but it won't be too far off; it should have about 40% of the prehistoric world's foundation.

After all, Pangu was a sage of the Great Dao, and I am no less capable.

Although he was not a Great Dao Saint, his combat power was no less than that of a Great Dao Saint, and in terms of the ability to create a world, he was even above Pangu.

Anyone can tell which is more suitable for opening up a great path: the Great Path of Power or the Three Thousand Great Paths.

The reason why the Primordial World amazed Hongjun and led him to believe that it would become the most advanced world in the chaos was not because it was created by Pangu.

Rather, it was because during the creation of the primordial world, far too many chaotic demons perished. All three thousand chaotic demons were suppressed by Pangu in the earth. Once the essence of these chaotic demons was integrated, the primordial world would soar to new heights.

This is the irreproducibility of the primordial world; anyone could simply create a world.

Pangu is acceptable, Hongjun is acceptable, and Jiang Haofeng is acceptable as well.

Jiang Haofeng didn't think his ability to create the world was inferior to Pangu's. What Pangu could do, Jiang Haofeng could also do. It's just that the current scale of the prehistoric world was inseparable from the suppression of those chaotic demon gods.

Even though these chaotic demons and gods have not yet been completely integrated into the primordial world, their scattered power has made the primordial world much stronger.

Jiang Haofeng didn't have such an opportunity. If he were to create it on his own, he would at most have 40% of the primordial foundation.

Of course, the 40% foundation here refers to the premise that Jiang Haofeng is in charge of the human realm. The world is illusory and needs someone to suppress it. The primordial world was suppressed by Pangu, and the human realm naturally needs to be suppressed by Jiang Haofeng.

If Jiang Haofeng hadn't suppressed it, the human realm he created would have been able to accommodate at most a peak Quasi-Saint level.

This is the limitation of chaos, which applies to people as well as to the world. Creating a world is easy, but stabilizing one is very difficult.

Sages can create worlds below the level of sages, but it is difficult to create worlds at the level of sages. The reason why the prehistoric world is a world at the level of sages is not because the world is powerful, but because the core of the world itself, namely Pangu, is a sage-level existence. If there were no Pangu, the prehistoric world would collapse in an instant.

Originally, Jiang Haofeng only intended to create a relatively powerful quasi-saint world as the ancestral land of the human race. However, after seeing Yang Mei, Jiang Haofeng had a new idea. If Yang Mei could be used as the core of the world to suppress the human realm, the future human realm could be completely comparable to the current prehistoric world!
