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

Chapter 2: A Fierce Rebuttal to the Holy Mother Nuwa, and Humanity's Independence (Please Read On!!)

All that could be seen was a purple aura stretching three thousand miles eastward, lotus blossoms blooming with every step from the direction of the East Sea, the faint sounds of the Great Dao and Buddhist chants appearing, and a sigh echoing:

"Alas, humanity, I am helpless. Everything is preordained by fate. Only by strengthening ourselves can we have a glimmer of hope."

Rumble.

Suddenly, the primordial world trembled, golden light rained down from the sky, and the direction from which the sound came was like lotus flowers blooming continuously in the heavens and earth.

"This Tongtian Sect Leader?"

"My God, the cult leader actually spoke!"

"But it's still a helpless situation; even a sage can't make the decision."

The powerful beings of the primordial world were also greatly shocked. The Tongtian Sect Leader had little to do with the human race, yet he dared to offer guidance. In contrast, the Holy Mother of Humanity and the leader of the Human Cult remained indifferent at this moment.

In the Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun slowly opened his eyes, but then closed them again. Although the Tongtian Sect Leader's suggestion was somewhat inappropriate, the overall situation remained unchanged.

In an instant, the demons who were continuing to slaughter the human race also stopped. They were all tense with fear. How could they be distracted when the sage was giving instructions?

At Biyou Palace, just as the Tongtian Sect Leader finished speaking, the voices of Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun rang in his ears.

"Hmph, Tongtian, you're meddling too much. Humanity deserves this calamity."

"Tongtian, such a mortal is ignorant of destiny. He is the cause of the continuation of human calamities. He knows that as long as he lives, the calamities of humankind will not end."

Tongtian sneered and replied:

"Hmph, since we've already split up, why are you meddling in my affairs? I founded the Jie Sect to seize a sliver of hope. My actions are merely to avoid violating the sect's doctrines. While the general trend cannot be changed, minor trends can be altered."

"On the contrary, you, elder brother, are the leader of the Human Cult, yet you don't perform the duties of the Human Cult. How dare you criticize me?"

"And you, Second Brother, you always think too highly of yourself. If you're not happy, let's have a fight. Don't say I'm bullying you. If you can break my Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, I'll kowtow to you three times."

"You bastard."

The debate among the Three Pure Ones is unknown to the world, but the Tongtian Sect Leader had a feeling that his Jie Sect and the human race might have some connection in the dark, but the secrets of heaven were in chaos and he could not see through it at the moment.

After hearing the Tongtian Sect Leader's hint, Ye Yang felt helpless, but since he had at least answered, he considered it enough. He slowly clasped his hands and bowed to the Tongtian Sect Leader.

"Thank you, I will remember this on behalf of the human race."

Then Ye Yang straightened his body, looked at the sky full of gods and Buddhas, and a sad and helpless smile appeared on his lips. This smile was so helpless. Even ants try to survive, let alone a human being.

"Heh, in the end, the human race has to rely on its own efforts to survive. Since you are so heartless, don't blame me for being unjust. Even if I die, I will pluck two of your beards."

Rumble.

Suddenly, Ye Yang seemed to be surrounded by golden light, as if the Great Dao was rippled, and his aura instantly rose, faintly showing the posture of the Great Sun Divine Qi.

"What is this human trying to do?"

"Hmm? Could it be that this human doesn't acknowledge the Heavenly Tribulation and is going against the will of Heaven?"

"Damn it, what is he trying to do? Oh no, he's gathering the human race's fortune, trying to shake the heavens."

"What? That's bad."

The powerful beings were puzzled, then surprised, and finally shocked. Even the saints beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens opened their eyes.

All that was seen was Ye Yang taking a deep breath, followed by a powerful voice emanating from his chest and lungs:

"Today, humanity is in peril. We kneel and beg the heavens in vain, we kowtow to the sages in vain. Nuwa, the Holy Mother of humanity, enjoys the fortune of humanity but stands idly by. The Supreme Sage, the leader of the Human Religion, controls the fortune of humanity but remains inactive and deaf. We have sought help from all over the heavens and earth but no one has come to our aid. It is better to rely on ourselves than on others. I, the first person of the primordial human race, am willing to support humanity."

Looking up at the sky filled with gods and Buddhas, Ye Yang's body surged with golden energy, and he roared loudly:

"I, Ye Yang, the first person of the Primordial Human Race, am willing to leave my last drop of blood for the orthodoxy of the human race. All human races, listen to my command! At this moment, the human race will not respect Heaven or Earth. The human race will strive for self-improvement. The human race will go against the tide. Everyone will stand on their own and will not believe in the gods and Buddhas in the sky. I, Ye Yang, will share the glory and disgrace with the Primordial Human Race and depend on each other for life and death. This is what it means to be human—"

With a deafening roar, the world changed color in an instant, and thunder roared across the sky. Hongjun opened his eyes, and a golden light pierced through the chaos, instantly revealing the scene at the foot of Mount Buzhou in his vision.

Ye Yang suddenly looked up at the Thirty-Three Heavens Palace and shouted sharply:

"Humanity's fortune has blessed me, Nuwa. You are the Holy Mother of Humanity, enjoying humanity's fortune yet not protecting them. Don't you feel ashamed to enjoy humanity's merits like this?"

These words caused an instant shock, and the powerful figures from all directions were greatly surprised, almost falling to their deaths on the spot.

Ye Yang directly addressed the saint by his name, which was already a great act of treason. Now, judging from this situation, he was denouncing the Holy Mother.

"Human, shut up! How dare you address this saint by his name? Your sins are unforgivable."

"You should be the one who shuts up, Nuwa."

Ye Yang went all out, relying on the luck bestowed upon him by the human race, and even dared to confront a saint.

"You enjoy the merits of the human race but do nothing. You occupy the title of the Holy Mother of the Human Race but condone the demon race to slaughter humans at will. I think you are not the Holy Mother of the Human Race, but should be called the Holy Mother of the Demon Race."

Rumble.

In an instant, the sage's wrath erupted.

"You insolent ant, how dare you defy your superiors! Today, I, in the name of the Holy Mother, punish you on behalf of Heaven."

As Nuwa's voice faded, a celestial handprint descended from beyond the thirty-third heaven, the saint's power reaching the heavens.

The powerful beings watching the spectacle from all directions were also greatly startled. Below the level of a saint, all are mere ants. Although they possessed the cultivation of a Great Luo Immortal, they dared not compete with a saint. In an instant, the entire area within tens of thousands of miles was cleared away.

Ye Yang was also shocked to see this. This was the first time he had seen a saint make a move. The pressure was indeed immense. However, his rebellious spirit had already been unleashed, and he was determined to fight to the bitter end, even if it meant death.

"Hmph, the human race is self-reliant and will never bow their heads, even if they die in battle."

All that could be seen was Ye Yang's body flashing with light as he roared:

"May the fortune of humanity bless me, and support me—."

Ye Yang alone is an ant, and the entire clan is also an ant, but when he blesses the clan's fortune, it's a different story.

"What? Damn it—."

Nuwa was greatly alarmed, only then realizing that Ye Yang was the first human in the primordial race and now the leader of the human race. He should have the ability to mobilize the human race's fortune, which is why the great calamity of the human race had to wipe out the primordial human race.

Rumble.

puff--.

Despite having the blessing of human destiny, Ye Yang was ultimately no match for Nuwa. With a single blow, the difference in their strengths and weaknesses became immediately apparent, and human destiny was significantly diminished on the spot.

The gods and Buddhas of the heavens were greatly shocked. Although the human race's fortune was not strong, it was so profound. Otherwise, how could an ant have survived?

"uh-huh--."

Suddenly, a soft "hmm" came from the faint chaos, which was clearly heard by many powerful beings.

"What's going on?"

"Heavens! I never expected the human race's fortune to be so powerful and solid, actually injuring the Sage Nuwa."

"this"

Hongjun, far away in the Zixiao Palace, witnessed this scene clearly and immediately frowned:

"What exactly does this child intend to do? Even if he were to concentrate all the fortune of the human race, he shouldn't be so ruthless as to turn against Nuwa."

If other saints were to intervene, it would be normal for them to suffer a backlash. But Nuwa is, after all, the Holy Mother of the Human Race. How could she possibly suffer a backlash from the human race's fortune? At most, it would just be a case of the Third Mother disciplining her son.

"Wait, no, besides the human race's fortune, there's another mysterious power."

Hongjun calculated with his fingers and was instantly shocked.
