Primordial Era: Reborn as a Tortoise, with Unparalleled Comprehension

Chapter 77 The Human Race's Fortune Begins to Emerge

Since the birth of humankind.

He has always stayed in his birthplace and has never stepped out of it.

Because of the sacred words of the goddess Nuwa and the protection of Buddhist followers, her birthplace remained undisturbed.

Only a few unintelligent demons roam the human territory.

Previously, the Daoist Ancestor Guixuan preached, which was listened to by the human race. The human race comprehended some basic principles from the Daoist Ancestor Guixuan's preaching.

These fundamental laws spurred humanity to become physically strong and prepared to explore the surrounding world.

In the primordial land, strange beasts roamed freely, and spiritual herbs grew everywhere.

Any one of these strange beasts is larger than a human, and the earth shakes wherever it goes.

There are 129,600 male humans and 129,600 female humans; since birth, they have been scattered in various corners of the surrounding area, in groups of three or five.

No human leader emerged.

The human race is still in a state of ignorance.

Without understanding the principles, and without knowing the law.

They were naked, sat on the ground, and slept wherever they pleased.

They were a completely uncivilized people.

It's only slightly better than some of the demon beast tribes in the primordial world.

Gui Xuan remained hidden in the void, observing silently.

"At this time, the human race is not prominent, and all the creatures of the primordial world are striving on the path of seeking the Dao. The peaceful period of the Ten Thousand Yuan Society is just the right time for the human race to develop rapidly."

"The seeds of a growing ethnic group and the progress of civilization will be sown during this period."

A beam of light appeared in Gui Xuan's eyes. Recalling the hardships that the human race had experienced in later generations, Gui Xuan remained silent.

After a long time, Gui Xuan made a decision.

"Let's use the human race as an experiment to see if this myth is true or false."

First came Hongjun, then came Heaven; Hongjun created the Chaos Lotus.

Not to mention that he, a person from later generations, couldn't accept it, even if a primordial deity knew, he would probably go mad.

After he made this decision, Hongyun, who was sitting cross-legged in the Eastern Sea Buddhist Land, opened his eyes.

Looking down at the Buddha and Bodhisattvas, the Buddhist chants resounded throughout the entire Buddhist land.

"There are still Arhats in our Buddhism who are still trapped in the mortal world. You should spread the Dharma throughout the world and let the Arhats return to the Buddhist land."

"I will strictly follow the Buddha's teachings!"

Buddhism emerged to save all sentient beings!

After receiving the news, both the Wu and Yao tribes remained silent, paving the way for Buddhism.

Temples and Buddhist halls sprang up across the vast, untamed land in an instant.

Countless beings knelt and prayed to Buddha, and were incorporated into Buddhism.

For a time, Hongyun's Buddhism became an existence in the primordial world that surpassed both the witch and demon races.

The scale of the event was so grand that even the Three Pure Ones, who roamed the primordial land, were astonished.

At a time when the eyes of all living beings were drawn to the emergence of Buddhism.

Gui Xuan has appeared in the human territory, transforming into an old man who sits cross-legged on a small mountain.

Occasionally, a human would pass by, and seeing Gui Xuan sitting cross-legged on the mountaintop, would curiously walk up to him.

Gui Xuan would preach to those who were moved by his teachings, but very few of them were able to comprehend them.

Over time, very few humans appeared here.

Gui Xuan paid no attention to this, and simply continued to sit cross-legged, silently observing the human race.

Time flies, and three centuries have passed in the blink of an eye.

As time passed, humanity gradually gained enlightenment after exploring the surrounding territories.

Seasons change, the four seasons change.

The first humans were born as immortals, but they did not understand magic or the realms of cultivation.

The basic principles I have come to understand are only some rudimentary methods for strengthening the body and improving health.

Faced with the changing environments of the vast land, from scorching heat to bitter cold, human bodies often suffer damage.

At this time, the celestial union has not yet occurred, and the union of yin and yang is not evident; under such circumstances, if this continues, the human population will rapidly decline.

Monsters frequently appear and devour humans.

Under the pressure of survival, some of humanity's earliest sages began to think and to conduct research.

"Night falls, and monsters emerge; we must be careful."

The three of them squatted in a tree hollow, looking at the pitch-black night, feeling extremely nervous.

Since the war between the Lich King and the Demon King, the Demon King mobilized the power of the stars to build the Zhou Tian Star Array, which was destroyed by the Lich King, damaging the origin of the stars.

The primordial starry sky was dim, and the night was pitch black, almost to the point where you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

In this harsh environment, there are also naturally strange and powerful monsters that roam the area, and humans often go missing and are devoured by these monsters.

"If only we could see at night, we could spot the monsters earlier," one of them remarked.

Upon hearing his words, the other two remained silent.

After a long silence, another person said, "The difference in strength is too great. Even if we see it, what can we do? We still can't avoid it."

"If only there were a way to drive away wild beasts."

This question sparked an idea in the third person: "Why don't we find something that frightens the monsters and use it to drive them away?"

"I've heard there's an immortal on the mountain who often speaks of the profound truths of the universe; perhaps he has a solution."

Upon realizing this, the person's mind was filled with a multitude of thoughts.

Finally, amidst their trembling fear, the sun rose in the east, and the sky brightened.

"Finally, it's dawn!"

They all breathed a sigh of relief, carefully found some spiritual fruits nearby to eat, and one of them broke away from the other two and ran towards where Gui Xuan was.

Gui Xuan sat atop the mountain, emanating waves of Daoist energy that permeated everything around him.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on Gui Xuan's lips. "The human race is about to flourish."

Another 30,000 years have passed.

A filthy human was climbing up the mountain from the bottom.

With some spiritual fruits on his back, he looked at the mountaintop with a firm and ardent gaze.

After climbing over many mountains, the man finally saw the immortal sitting cross-legged on the mountaintop.

The atmosphere is ethereal and simple, giving one a sense of merging with nature.

The excited man placed the spiritual fruit he was carrying in front of him, knelt on the ground, and shouted loudly.

"Greetings, Immortal!"

Gui Xuan slowly opened his eyes upon hearing the sound, and asked in a calm voice, "What is it?"

The man prostrated himself on the ground, his voice trembling with emotion, "Immortal, our race is plagued by demonic beasts, suffering countless deaths and injuries, and we have no means to save ourselves; we beg the immortal to bestow upon us a method to save our race from this dire straits!"

Gui Xuan looked calmly at the human in front of him.

Suirenshi invented fire by drilling wood, bringing the first ray of light to humankind.

It opens a new chapter in human civilization.

At this time, human writing had not yet been invented, and all human beings were nameless.

The person in front of me who could think of this at this time is probably Suirenshi.

After a while, under the man's anxious gaze, Gui Xuan slowly spoke.

"If humanity wants to overcome its fears, it needs to break through the darkness and seek the light."

"When darkness falls, if you simply wait for dawn instead of striving to break through the darkness, your people will never see the light."

The man looked thoughtful. “Immortal, our race is newly born, unlike other races in the primordial world. We are also born weak. Although we have the protection of the Holy Mother, we have not obtained the true magic. After darkness falls, we cannot see anything.”

Where is the light?

Gui Xuan smiled.

"If you wish to see the light, sit down with me and behold the wonders of nature and the changes of heaven and earth."

The man looked puzzled.

But since the immortal has spoken, he can do as he is told.

For the sake of the community, for the sake of survival.

He was willing to risk everything.

And so, time passed.

This person sat beside Gui Xuan, sometimes listening to Gui Xuan preach, and sometimes contemplating the changes in heaven and earth.

In his gaze, the aura of the immortal before him gradually weakened.

As time goes by, it becomes closer to nature, like a stubborn rock standing on the mountaintop.

Under the influence of this aura, his anxious heart gradually calmed down.

Ten thousand years later, the world has undergone tremendous changes.

The once clear and boundless sky suddenly changed, with dark clouds gathering.

Within this person's gaze, wisps of lightning flickered, converging in an instant.

boom!

Thunder roared, and the heavens and earth trembled.

Click!

By sheer coincidence, a bolt of lightning struck a dead tree at the foot of the mountain, and flames erupted from the tree as a result.

Some of the monsters that were roaming nearby were frightened by the sudden flames and fled into the distance.

This person happened to witness this scene.

A mysterious feeling arose in his heart, but he didn't know what to do.

"So close, so very close."

He felt he was just one step away from attaining enlightenment and saving his people.

Gui Xuan watched from the side, his gaze indifferent.

Just when this person was unable to grasp the essentials and was blinded by a single leaf.

A mysterious, ethereal voice appeared, "Even a withered tree can repel an enemy, why are you still not enlightened!"

boom!

Another bolt of lightning struck.

This time, the man saw things clearly.

With a wave of his hand, a handful of withered grass, a piece of withered branch, and a piece of withered wood appeared in front of him.

Dry grass is placed into dead wood, and the dry branches are quickly spun around with both hands.

huh~~~

As he spun it violently, sparks flew from the withered branches, and the number of sparks gradually increased.

Finally, a single flame appeared.

"It's done!!"

The man watched as the dry branch in his hand caught fire, and he was filled with excitement.

Just then, a beam of heavenly merit appeared in the sky.

It was divided into three.

A portion of it landed on the flame in this person's hand, transforming the originally ordinary flame into a treasure of merit, an inextinguishable flame!

A portion of it fell onto Gui Xuan, but Gui Xuan waved his hand and sent another portion onto the man.

boom!

As the merits merged into his body, the man's cultivation level soared dramatically, instantly elevating him to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

A sacred and solemn aura emanated from him.

After a long while, the man opened his eyes. His originally dark eyes flashed with golden light, then vanished in a flash. "Suirenshi greets the immortal, and thanks the immortal for bestowing upon me the Dharma!"

The name was bestowed upon him by heaven: Suirenshi!

As he finished speaking, a surge of fortune condensed.

The destiny of the human race is hidden in the void.

Gui Xuan felt something and said, "Humans need to find their own path and not place all their hopes on others."

"Only the path you forge yourself truly belongs to you."

Suirenshi lowered his head in thought, then bowed deeply, saying, "Suirenshi understands!"

"Our clan will remember the immortal's teachings. We hope the immortal will tell us his name, so that our clan may remember him forever!"

With a flick of his sleeve, Gui Xuan sent Suirenshi vanishing from the mountaintop.

"I have returned to the Mysterious Realm."

A faint voice reached Suirenshi's ears.

Before Suirenshi could recover from his shock, he discovered that the enormous mountain had vanished.

It's as if it never existed.

Before him appeared a primordial spiritual fruit radiating boundless Daoist charm.

One of the five fruits of the Five-Needle Pine, a top-grade innate spiritual root, is a fire-attribute fruit!

"The Dao Ancestor of Returning to the Mysterious Realm!"

Suirenshi was shocked. "I never expected it to be the Dao Ancestor Guixuan bestowing this power!"

"Respectfully bidding farewell to the Dao Ancestor Guixuan!"

After bowing respectfully to the void, Suirenshi stood up after a long while, accepted the spiritual fruit from the sky, and looked at the human territory behind him.

The aura of a Great Luo Golden Immortal pressed down on the human realm.

Suirenshi used his great magical power to manipulate the fate of the human race.

Immediately afterwards, all the surviving humans heard the voice of Suirenshi.

"I am Suiren, a member of the human race. I received the Dao from Guixuan, who bestowed upon me the power to bring an inextinguishable flame to humanity, protecting my people so that they will no longer fear the darkness!"

"No more suffering from monsters!"

boom!

Countless humans were in an uproar.

"The Dao Ancestor Guixuan is merciful!"

"The virtuous ancestor Suiren!"

In that instant, the idea of ​​starting a fire by rubbing sticks together came to mind for all humankind.

From this moment on, humanity will no longer fear fire.

······

When the first ray of light appeared among humans.

In the Heavenly Court, the Demon Emperor Jun sat in the court, his aura waning. He looked at the demon race before him, whose sight had not yet been restored, and felt a surge of anger.

Several cycles have passed, and the demon race was injured by the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation of the Witch Clan, and their injuries have not yet recovered.

Apart from the fact that Xi Huang was taken by Nuwa to the Nuwa Palace in the Chaos to heal his wounds.

The entire demon race's momentum continued to decline.

Bai Ze, his face pale, suddenly said, "Your Majesty, this time the Zhou Tian Star Array was broken by the Wu Clan. Apart from the Wu Clan summoning Pangu, the formation within the primordial starry sky was not under the control of the Star Gods."

"If the array flags were wielded by a star god from among the stars, the full power of the Zhou Tian Star Array would be revealed!"

Di Jun's expression hardened. "The primordial starry sky is the territory of the demon race; the stars and star gods must be controlled by our race!"

Bai Ze hesitated for a moment, glanced at Di Jun, and whispered, "I have heard that in this endless star field, there are two Taiyin Goddesses on the main star Taiyin..."

Di Jun narrowed his eyes.
