Primordial Era: From Primordial Human Race to Grand Luo Immortal

Chapter 76, Section 75: The Beginning of Humanity, Schemes from All Sides

All the humans knelt down, shouting:

"Homage to Ji Yuan, the most benevolent and virtuous ancestor!"

The human race's shouts reached the heavens and pierced the netherworld, inspiring awe and reverence in all who heard them.

Upon hearing this, the Wanling race felt an inexplicable surge of emotion within them.

They were weak and powerless against the collapsing heavens, and could only drift with the tide. Then they saw the human Ji Yuan mend the heavens and save the world, dividing it into two realms.

We are all born weak, so don't we have any hope of rising up?

Drawn by a powerful will, the myriad spirits also cried out:

"Homage to Ji Yuan, the most benevolent and virtuous ancestor!"

The praises spread to all directions, and they suddenly felt a sense of belonging, as if they were no longer rootless duckweed.

The myriad spirits are of low spiritual level, and their perception of nature is shallow.

Ji Yuan's observations of nature differed greatly from those of the powerful beings.

A mighty power was born between heaven and earth, and its essence was no weaker than the Heavenly Dao!

Ji Yuan knew that was "humanity".

Humanity is not born from humans. If the Way of Heaven represents the natural law of the universe's operation, which is "perfectly impartial and selfless," then the Way of Earth carries and nourishes all things, representing the virtue of bearing all things.

Humanity, on the other hand, represents civilization, not just the human race. To be precise, it should be called the way of all living beings. However, since the human race was chosen as the protagonist of heaven and earth, and its name conforms to the meaning of the three powers of "heaven", "earth" and "humanity", it is called the way of humanity. Indeed, it pays most attention to the human race.

However, at this time, the human way is still very weak compared to the heavenly way, but as the myriad spirit races reproduce and develop, it will only become stronger and stronger, and Ji Yuan, as the ancestor of the human race, will inevitably benefit greatly.

Many powerful beings in the primordial world could sense that after the birth of "humanity," the world became more perfect and stable. Looking in the direction of humanity, they all had the same thought:
"Humanity is destined to rise, and we must establish a presence among humankind as soon as possible!"

Some powerful figures even considered using force, but upon seeing Ji Yuan sitting cross-legged under the Jianmu tree, their thoughts vanished. Regardless of the fact that Ji Yuan was favored by both the "Heaven" and "Earth" factions, his extraordinary cultivation alone was enough to dissuade many powerful figures from using forceful methods.

Now they are only thinking about how to interfere with the human race and get a share of the spoils. It is already a given that the Heavenly Dao supports the human race.

Ji Yuan was unaware of the thoughts of those powerful beings, and even if he had, he wouldn't have cared.

Just as he was preparing to return to the Jie Sect with the Tongtian Sect Leader, a grand Daoist voice suddenly entered his ears.

"All sages, and Ji Yuan, come to Zixiao Palace immediately!"

"This is... the voice of Dao Ancestor Hongjun."

Ji Yuan was extremely unsettled, wondering why the ancestral tradition of summoning a sage required him to be included.

A strange glint also flashed in the eyes of the other sages. Since Hongjun merged with the Heavenly Dao, he had never summoned them, and this time he had even summoned Ji Yuan. They wondered what he wanted to do next.

They actually don't want to see Hongjun unless it's absolutely necessary.

On the one hand, they all knew that Hongjun's state had changed after he merged with the Dao, and on the other hand, they were worried about the impact on their own interests.

When Hongjun doesn't appear, they are naturally the greatest in the prehistoric world, but when Hongjun manifests his divine power, they can only be subordinate to him.

Even sages have desires, and naturally they do not want to be overshadowed by others forever, even by their nominal teachers.

"Since the master has summoned us, something must have happened that will affect the order of the primordial world. We should not keep the master waiting."

The Sage of Taiqing glanced around and spoke slowly.

All the saints nodded, and the Tongtian Sect Leader grabbed Ji Yuan and flew towards Chaos.

...............

Dragon Palace.

“Ancestor, I always said that the dragon race becoming the totem of the human race is a thing that is entirely beneficial and without any harm.”

Ao Run said to Zu Long triumphantly.

If he hadn't defied public opinion and made the dragon race the totem of the human race, there would have been no chance for him to interfere with the human race in the future.

Zhulong nodded, a rare occurrence. In this respect, Ao Run was indeed stronger than him.

"Indeed, indeed, the rise of the human race and the birth of humanity have greatly reduced the karma of my dragon race."

Zhulong praised.

When the demon race wanted to slaughter the human race, he originally wanted to call back the dragons who went to help the human race. However, the dragons had heavy karma and dared not easily intervene in the great calamity.

However, Ao Run defied all opposition and even contradicted him to keep the dragon clan, led by Ao Yi, there. Now it seems that Ao Run's vision was indeed outstanding, at least in terms of decision-making regarding the development of the race, he has surpassed him.

Being granted the ancestor's approval, Ao Run was naturally extremely pleased and said:

“Ancestor, I plan to have Ao Guang take over my position.”

"Oh? Why is that?"

Zhulong asked in confusion.

"Because Ao Guang knew Ji Yuan when he was still a nobody, and they even traveled together. In the future, it will be the era of the human race and the era of the three religions. Ji Yuan is not only a human but also the chief disciple of the Jie Sect. With the relationship between Ao Guang and Ji Yuan, our Dragon Clan's future path will be smoother."

Ao Run explained slowly.

Zhulong nodded and said:

"I entrust the development of the Dragon Clan to you. If you encounter an invincible enemy, then come to me."

"Thank you, ancestor!"

Ao Run bowed respectfully.

Zhulong's move was tantamount to handing over the development of the entire dragon race to him, which was both a power and a pressure.

"In that case, we just need to wait for Guang'er to return."

Ao Run looked out of the Dragon Palace, his usually suppressed gaze now showing a hint of brilliance.

………………

Beiming.

As the former territory of Kunpeng, countless demons who survived the war between the Lich King and the Demon King have gathered here.

Under the watchful eyes of all the demons, two powerful demons were facing off.

"Kunpeng, do you really have no sentimentality whatsoever?"

Bai Ze questioned.

Upon hearing this, Kunpeng's face revealed a deep sense of mockery.

He angrily retorted, "Old flame? What old flame?"

"Do you think I joined the demon race willingly? If it weren't for Dijun and Taiyi forcing me to join the demon race by force, how could I be tainted with the karma of witches and demons now!"

Kunpeng hated Dijun and Taiyi to the extreme. He was living a carefree life in Beiming, but they insisted on making him join the demon race. When he refused, he was beaten up. Even after joining, he wasn't given any real power, just a nominal position as a demon master.

He only gained a little merit from joining the demon race and contributing to the creation of demon script; the rest...

He rubbed his back and felt even worse. He hadn't gotten any benefits and had almost been beaten to death.

"roll!"

"Considering that we still have some old feelings for each other, you can leave now and I won't harm you."

Kunpeng spoke again.

"Ugh."

Bai Ze sighed, flapped his wings and flew away. Now the Demon Court was gone, and the Tenth Prince was left with only him as his companion.

"Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, since you control the Hetu and Luoshu, why don't we set up our own sect?"

The one speaking was Jiuying, who, like Kunpeng, came from the Northern Sea. When Dijun forced Kunpeng to join the demon race, Kunpeng hid him.

When joining the Demon Court, a wisp of true spirit must be incorporated into the "Demon Summoning Banner." Kunpeng used one of the heads of the Nine Infants as a substitute. When Bai Ze arrived, one of the Nine Infants' heads exploded, leaving only eight.

This also convinced Kunpeng that the Demon-Summoning Banner was in Bai Ze's hands.

"This matter is not urgent. The sages have been summoned to Zixiao Palace. Let's wait for them to return before we discuss it further."

Kunpeng replied.

Not only the demon race, but countless forces in the prehistoric world are waiting for the return of the saints.
