I, the primordial ancestor, started out as a useless cult and a useless saint.

Chapter 1: Raging Rebuke of All the Sages of Heaven (Please Read On!!)

"Run! The demons are attacking!"

"Quickly protect the leader and get out of here, quick—!"

In the primordial world, beneath Mount Buzhou, the Heavenly Court's demon race was wantonly slaughtering the human race, while a sword embryo in the sky was constantly absorbing the souls of the human race.

This was right after Hongjun's third sermon, and it was also the post-Lich Calamity phase.

After Nuwa created humans, she went to the depths of chaos, leaving the human race to live and die on its own. In a short time, the human population exploded.

The war between the two races has reached a critical point. The witch race has discovered that after killing a human, the soul of that human can cause significant damage to the demon race.

Moreover, the souls of the 100,000 innate humans created by the sage Nuwa were even more powerful.

So they began slaughtering humans to forge the Demon-Slaying Sword. The demons, having suffered a great loss, were not about to give up. They also discovered that human souls, when integrated into magical artifacts, could cause significant damage to the witch race. The demons then went on a rampage, slaughtering humans to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword.

Thus began a calamity for humanity.

Humanity was weak to begin with, so how could it be a match for the immortals and gods of these two races? In a short time, ninety percent of humanity was slaughtered, and the primordial world was filled with wailing and blood staining the sky.

Of the 100,000 innate human beings, 99,999 were slaughtered, leaving only Ye Yang alive.

In a secluded valley of Buzhou Mountain, many humans were dying. As the rain poured down, Ye Yang opened his eyes with difficulty in a cave.

"The leader is awake? The leader is awake."

Instantly, a large number of humans surrounded them, including the elderly, children, and women, all of whom were weeping uncontrollably.

Ye Yang traveled through the prehistoric world, intending to lie low and grow stronger. However, he happened to encounter Nuwa creating humans, and he was the first innate human. Because he was influenced by Nuwa's merit in creating humans, his comprehension and aptitude were also the best.

Ye Yang thus became the leader of the human race. Ye Yang also knew that the human race would face a great calamity, and he was always thinking about how to become stronger.

Unfortunately, the Holy Mother Nuwa ignored the human race, and the leader of the Human Cult enjoyed the fortune without teaching the human race how to become stronger. In the end, Ye Yang had no choice but to find a solution on his own.

In order to preserve the very foundation of humanity as much as possible, Ye Yang ordered the 100,000 innate human beings to each lead a portion of their people to other places in Buzhou Mountain to live and develop, hoping that the human race could still survive after the great calamity.

But now it seems that as long as the innate human race is immortal, the great calamity of the human race will not end. Ye Yang had tried to end his life many times, but his tribe persuaded him to die. In the end, Ye Yang fell ill from overwork and fainted. He only woke up now.

"Where am I?"

Upon hearing the voice of their leader, one of the humans hurriedly said:

"Chief, we are still at the foot of Buzhou Mountain, but we have already left Shouyang Mountain."

"Chief, why are the demons killing us? My family has been killed, sob sob sob—."

"Chief, what should we do? Why isn't the Holy Mother helping us?"

Chen Shan slowly sat up, looked at the few humans present, took a deep breath, and said:

Help me up.

As Ye Yang slowly approached the cave entrance, he could faintly hear screams coming from afar, and countless demons flying across the sky.

And the unfinished sword of the witch-slaying sword was floating in the air, constantly absorbing the souls of the murdered race.

"Chief, I hate it so much."

Seeing their people still being slaughtered, the humans in the canyon were so angry that their veins bulged and their fists clenched tightly.

However, suddenly a huge figure attacked:

"Hahaha, the last primordial human, I've found you. Die—."

A burst of flames instantly swept in, illuminating everything around it.

"Oh no, leader, run!"

Rumble—

Instantly, a large number of humans transformed into souls and flew towards the direction of the Witch-Slaying Sword.

"Damn it."

After dodging, Ye Yang's eyes turned bloodshot with anger.

"Slaughtering my human race like this is an irreconcilable hatred."

At this moment, Ye Yang had no way out. Since he had been discovered, he was definitely not going to escape. Watching the humans constantly shielding him from harm, Ye Yang's heart went completely berserk.

He suddenly looked up to the sky and roared:

"Saint Nuwa, you created the human race, and you became a saint because of the human race. Now the human race is in trouble and about to be extinct. Will you take care of it or not?"

"And there's the Human Cult's leader, the Sage Taiqing. You, as the leader of the Human Cult, attained sainthood through the opportunities of the human race. Now that the human race is in trouble, why don't you lend a hand?"

Ye Yang roared loudly, his voice piercing through the thirty-three heavens. Nuwa heard it and closed her eyes without saying a word.

When the leader of the Human Cult, the Sage Taiqing, heard this, he pretended to be indifferent and continued to silently recite the Tao Te Ching. All the gods and Buddhas in the heavens were watching this calamity befalling the human race.

The powerful beings of the heavens also heard Ye Yang's roar, but everyone understood that the human race was destined to suffer this calamity. As long as the innate human race did not perish, the calamity would not stop.

However, the sages of the heavens did not respond; instead, they were met with mockery.

"Hahaha, you ants! Goddess Nuwa is a saint of our demon race. How could she possibly protect the human race? You are nothing more than the methods by which our demon race's great saints achieve sainthood."

"That's right, humans are nothing but ants, how can they compare to my demon race? Today is the day of your death."

Seeing so many humans being slaughtered, Ye Yang was furious. Now he truly had nowhere to retreat.

Suddenly, he took a deep breath, clasped his hands, and roared:

"Heaven and Earth are ruthless, and humanity has suffered terribly, its blood staining the primordial world. Is there any powerful being willing to lend a helping hand? Our humanity owes them a debt of karma; are we just going to stand by and watch humanity perish? Ancestor Hongjun, I know you can see this, but do you really want humanity to be wiped out?"

Ye Yang burned his magical power, and his voice reached the ears of the heavens:

"Master Tongtian, Yuanshi Tianzun, the two Western Saints, you are all saints, why do you stand by and watch someone die? You are unworthy of being called saints. And Nuwa and Taiqing, you enjoy the fortune of the human race, why do you pretend to be deaf and dumb? You have let down the human race—"

Rumble.

Suddenly, a thundercloud formed. Instead of receiving a response from the gods and Buddhas, it brought a warning from the Heavenly Dao and endless mockery from the demon race.

At this moment, Ye Yang finally understood. He gave a bitter laugh, and two lines of bloody tears flowed down his face.

"Heh heh heh, so that's how it is. This is the Way of Heaven, this is what they call a sage. Heh heh, you want the entire Primordial Human Race to perish, how could I not know your purpose?"

Slowly raising his head to look at the heavens, a rebellious aura slowly ignited, and his bloodshot eyes gazed upon the gods and Buddhas of the heavens.

"You want to wipe out the Primordial Human Race, but I will not die. I will not let your conspiracy succeed, even if it means jeopardizing the future of the entire human race."

At this moment, shout loudly:

"Heavenly Dao, Sages, and the Demon and Witch Clan, you all listen to me."

A roar echoed throughout the primordial world, and Ye Yang's aura ignited in that instant:

"As the leader of the human race, I swear on the future of humanity that if the human race is destroyed, my soul will become a vengeful ghost, haunting you for eternity. If the human race grows stronger in the future, I will repay your blood debt a hundredfold."

Taking a deep breath, Ye Yang suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Using the blood pact and the luck of the human race as a guide, a blood pact was instantly formed:

"I swear by the blood of the entire human race, and may Heaven, Earth, the Great Dao, and all gods and men bear witness to this."

Rumble.

Suddenly, the blood pact ascended into the sky and then disappeared. At that very moment, many powerful beings felt a jolt in their hearts.

What's wrong with me?

Inside the Nuwa Palace, Nuwa was suddenly startled, a sense of unease instantly washing over her. She immediately tried to calculate with her fingers, but found that everything was shrouded in mystery.

"What's going on? Why can't I figure it out?"

The same was true for the other Great Saints. For the Great Saint Taiqing, who was the leader of the Human Religion, it was as if a heavy hammer had been struck in his heart.

Just then, the Tongtian Sect Leader suddenly spoke up.
