Primordial Era: My comprehension is heaven-defying, I create the ability to transform into anything!

Chapter 176 is titled: Chonglou!

"Fellow Daoist, what you're doing..."

Luo Hou looked at Jiang Sheng with a strange expression.

He could tell that Jiang Sheng had replenished a trace of the true spirit of the innate immortal spiritual light, which meant that Jiang Sheng was actively helping the old patriarch of the Heavenly Fire Demon Clan to revive.

However, it's also very strange...

That true spirit possessed only a trace of will, and was even bound to the ring.

In other words, the old patriarch of the Fire Demon Clan had transformed into something akin to a weapon spirit...

He couldn't understand why Jiang Sheng did this.

What is the point of doing this?

To this, Jiang Sheng simply smiled and said, "In the process of the Heavenly Fire Demon Clan becoming the protagonist of heaven and earth, the protagonist's help was indispensable! This ring is the protagonist's equipment!"

"Oh?"

Luo Hou raised an eyebrow slightly: "The protagonist? That's all you're going to do?"

"The old man inside the ring, that's one of the protagonist's standard features!" Jiang Sheng smiled.

Rahu clearly did not understand.

Jiang Sheng didn't explain. Immediately afterwards, Jiang Sheng took the ring and went to the Heavenly Fire Demon Clan with Luo Hou!

The Demon Realm is vast.

In some places, the demonic energy is abundant, while in others, it is naturally scarce.

Not only is there little demonic energy, but more importantly, there is plenty of spiritual energy.

In the demon realm.

Abundant spiritual energy is equivalent to abundant demonic energy in the primordial world.

To the demons, places rich in spiritual energy are like barren, frigid lands.

The Heavenly Fire Demon Clan resides on this desolate mountaintop, where demonic energy is scarce but spiritual energy is abundant.

The Heavenly Fire Demon Clan has quite a few members, numbering in the hundreds of thousands.

The problem is that their general cultivation level isn't very high!

In previous years, newly born Heavenly Fire Demons were at least at the Human Immortal realm, but in recent years, they haven't even reached that level anymore.

In this day and age, it's simply unbelievable.

The Heavenly Fire Demon Clan almost opened up a new low realm.

The demonic energy within his body was even somewhat incomplete, quite fragmented, and mixed with impure spiritual energy.

The transformation of the Heavenly Fire Demon Clan into this state is partly due to the influence of the broader environment.

The overall environment can really change a lot of things.

If the Heavenly Fire Demon Clan were in a place with abundant demonic energy, they wouldn't be in such a state.

Of course, this is not something that Jiang Sheng and Luo Hou should consider.

Along the way, Jiang Sheng had witnessed the entirety of the Heavenly Fire Demon Clan, and was filled with emotion.

Because of their low cultivation level and the difficulty of survival, the Heavenly Fire Demon Clan has become somewhat like a tribe.

Those with higher cultivation levels protect their clansmen while they hunt.

Those with low cultivation levels should find ways to cultivate.

Unfortunately, they were all just struggling to survive; it was clearly impossible for them to live a good life.

They didn't know how long it would be before civilization was born.

However, the Heavenly Fire Demon Clan possessed the conditions for the emergence of civilization.

Civilization has nothing to do with self-cultivation.

Instead, it's related to sticking together for warmth.

When your cultivation level is high, you naturally won't care about those other things.

But when you are weak, you will naturally pay attention to those around you.

Some guys can't win, so they naturally have to find others and band together for warmth.

Over time, a connection was naturally established.

With more connections, a leader naturally emerged.

And it is precisely because they are weak that they strive to become stronger. If they cannot become stronger, they will have offspring. In short, they have only one thought: they cannot allow their race to perish!

This is why the Heavenly Fire Demon Clan is declining, but its population is increasing.

They feared extinction and the extinction of their race, so they desperately tried to survive.

What?

You said the world is tough, and having so many children is a burden?

How could it be a burden?

Among humans, why do those poor people, who clearly have very poor living conditions, still raise several children?

That's about carrying on the family line, about not letting them become extinct. Similarly, if there are many children, and they grow up, they will also be a source of labor!

If the human race is in such a state, then the Heavenly Fire Demon Clan, who possess some cultivation, is even more vulnerable.

The principles are all the same.

Therefore, it's quite normal that the Heavenly Fire Demon Clan has a large population.

Moreover, it's not just that the Heavenly Fire Demon Clan has a large number of members.

It was practically a low-level demon race, and there were an absurd number of its members.

The Heavenly Fire Demon Clan has a base of several hundred thousand, which is considered small.

Some of them are eaten as food, and there are even hundreds of millions of them.

Along his journey, Jiang Sheng encountered the Heavenly Fire Demon Clan, who lived in tribal form.

I saw that the tribe was composed primarily of families.

Moreover, the current Skyfire Demon Clan still has tens of thousands of tribes.

These tribes vary in size, with some capable of housing tens of thousands of people and others having only a few dozen!

Most importantly, the formation of tribes has also led to internal conflicts within the Skyfire Demon Clan.

Competition from similar companies exists everywhere.

If you can't beat other tribes, you can bully your own tribe.

The Heavenly Fire Demon Clan is riddled with contradictions and is not a unified entity.

The conditions for the birth of civilization were present.

But we're still missing one person to meet this requirement!

They are missing someone who can unify the entire Heavenly Fire Demon Clan and then expand outwards.

Jiang Sheng has been searching for this kind of person all along his journey.

There are also a few recommendations for Rahu.

He directly recommended the leader of the largest tribe.

Jiang Sheng did not adopt his suggestion.

Luo Hou then recommended a young fellow who was considered quite talented among the Heavenly Fire Demon Clan.

Jiang Sheng still did not accept it.

In the end, even Rahu was frustrated!

"Fellow Daoist, what kind of person are you looking for?" Luo Hou asked, frowning.

"We need someone who can create written language and tools to improve lives!"

Jiang Sheng said, "This person doesn't need to have extraordinary talent or exceptional strength; all they need is a keen eye for observation!"

"Oh? Text?"

Luo Hou pondered, "Like the Heavenly Dao Divine Runes, or the Great Dao Divine Runes?"

"Yes!" Jiang Sheng nodded.

"What's the use of writing?" Rahu still looked puzzled.

"Writing is used for recording, writing gives history depth, and writing is the cornerstone of civilization!" Jiang Sheng said.

Writing is an indispensable element in any civilization.

Word-of-mouth traditions can be flawed.

Only through written records can we capture the brilliance of history.

No civilization can do without writing.

Writing is the medium. No matter what form the writing takes, civilization requires writing.

Rahu seemed to be deep in thought.

To be honest, finding someone with such a keen eye for detail is...

It really wasn't easy!

Those guys struggling on the edge of life and death naturally wouldn't waste their time researching anything; being well-fed and clothed is what they want.

If you can't even feed yourself, who has the time to bother watching some kind of whimsical cloud formations?

Fortunately, after searching the entire Heavenly Fire Demon Clan, Jiang Sheng and Luo Hou finally found someone who was somewhat decent.

Although I'm not satisfied, it's the best of the worst, so I'll just make do with it!

That was a little guy from a medium-sized tribe of several thousand people.

The horns on my forehead haven't grown yet.

The wings on its back also resembled those of a fluttering moth...

Though small in stature, his thoughts and desires were for the tribe, for better hunting, and for better survival!

He would try to find ways to increase his hunting speed.

They developed their own hidden blades, which could be used for long-range shooting, thus avoiding casualties.

He even used his innate fire source to forge magical artifacts with some power.

Despite his young age, his forging skills have already made him quite famous in the tribe.

He not only used it himself, but also used it to exchange for resources—food, drink, cultivation materials, he wanted them all!

Moreover, he consciously engraved his own unique mark on the magical artifacts he forged.

Over time, once people saw that mark, they would know it was him.

And that mark, because of that little guy, also represented his name.

After Jiang Sheng's translation, I roughly understood what the little guy's name was...

However, after finding out, his expression became even more peculiar.

It's all because that little fellow's name is—Chonglou!
