The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Chapter 332 The Oldest Kingdom, the Oldest King (Third Update)

"Are we about to establish a nation?"

Huowa looked at the towering building in front of him with a complicated expression.

"We still derive our concept of a nation from a lost world, perhaps from ancient times, but do we really understand what a nation is?" Tie Touwa said with a wistful look in his eyes.

"They said it was imperative and we couldn't wait any longer," Huowa said helplessly.

"Hmph, in my opinion they want to seize control of the tribe," Xi said coldly.

Huowa looked around. These "elders" from the old tribal era were gathered here not to criticize anything.

After all, there's nothing about the human race that they should criticize.

"There are no more tribes; now it is a dynasty."

On a towering building in the distance, a tall, handsome middle-aged man, dressed in a royal robe, held a jade ruler aloft and shouted loudly to the millions of people who were worshipping around the building.

"country!"

"Country! Country! Country!"

The mountains roared and the sea surged, and the humans gathered there echoed their cries.

The concept of a nation has only begun to spread in recent years, and the people of the Upper Cave don't really understand it; they only have a superficial understanding.

But now the man on the mountaintop is the most charismatic leader since the establishment of the tribe's chieftain; whatever he says, they will support.

"Could Yu's decision be a mistake?" Huowa's eyes couldn't help but show some doubt.

"Have you contacted the clan chief?" Tie Touwa asked.

This is a rhetorical question; if they were to make contact, he would naturally know.

"The delay in our communication with the clan chief is getting bigger and bigger. It used to be a year, but now it takes three years to get in touch," Huowa said helplessly.

Even when they poured their thoughts into that "lost world," it was still the same.

That's because the uploading and response of their thoughts was delayed.

"Yu also used this as an excuse to act first and report later, wanting to establish the country first and then ask the clan chief for permission," Xi said.

Huowa shook his head: "Even if we ask the clan chief for permission, he will only agree."

The tribal elders then fell silent.

Despite the nearly thousand-year separation, they still understood the clan leader's temperament very well.

In particular, after the clan chief stepped down, he made it clear that he would not interfere too much in what happened in the clan, and he would not offer any advice on the decisions of the new clan chief.

Everyone understands that the chieftain is supporting the new chieftain and setting an example for the "elders."

The authority to manage the tribe should be transferred to the chief, not held by the former chiefs and elders.

Furthermore, the new tribal chief was elected by them and the tribe members, so they should support the current tribal chief even more.

However, the clan leader has now taken a big step, which makes them quite uncomfortable. They even feel that this step is too big and may cause the human race to split apart.

But they couldn't object; they could only offer suggestions.

Unless all the elders join forces and engage in careful deliberation, they can ultimately veto the clan leader's decision.

As for the current clan leader, he is the twelfth generation descendant of Tie Touwa, and the most outstanding among Tie Touwa's descendants. He was originally very fond of him. He was exceptionally talented and wise. He entered the path of cultivation at the age of ten, refined his Qi into spirit at the age of thirteen, refined his spirit into emptiness at the age of twenty-eight, refined emptiness into Dao at the age of forty-eight, and became a true immortal at the age of ninety-nine.

With such talent, only the clan chief and Huowa's son, Lu, could suppress it.

Later, he naturally became the clan leader and gained experience in the "Lost World," where he encountered and witnessed many things. During this time, he also participated in the low-intensity war between the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan, defeating three True Immortals of the Demon Clan.

His prestige grew daily.

However, he always treated these elders with great respect and affection, showing them no contempt or harshness whatsoever, and even continuously increasing their rights.

He delegated many of the tribe's affairs to the elders, and then went off to roam the "Lost World" and participate in the great calamities.

And to summarize the various rules and regulations of the "Lost World".

Ultimately, he reached the conclusion that his predecessors had already reached: the current tribal structure of the Upper Cave Man was outdated, or more accurately, it was no longer sufficient to support such a large human population. They needed to reform so that the human population could develop faster.

Otherwise, the human race will not only stagnate but also risk decline. After all, it is currently a period of frequent conflict between the lich and the demons, and their tribe is so insignificant that they could easily become cannon fodder in the battle of gods and be destroyed by these powerful figures in one fell swoop.

Especially after witnessing the battle between powerful liches, he craved power even more and longed to change the current situation of the human race.

Therefore, he began to look for direction.

He also tried to go out and search like Lozu, but he couldn't let go of his tribe, so he went to the "Lost World" to search.

He couldn't go to the celestial realm, nor could he enter the demon realm, so in the end he could only travel in the mortal world.

He witnessed several calamities in the human world, but instead of observing the battles between the powerful beings, he focused on the organizational structures of various races.

Ultimately, he discovered that the human race's state system had always been able to recover from the aftermath of the Great Calamity with extremely high efficiency. In the face of various crises, the state system was more complete, with clear division of labor and orderly operation than the tribal and alliance systems of other races, and could make extremely efficient use of human resources.

The more he observed, the more he admired the national system.

Then he gave up on improving his individual strength because he found that there was a limit to how quickly he could improve. To be precise, he had now reached a period of stagnation and slow progress. It would take a hundred years for a True Immortal to advance one rank, and the higher the realm, the slower the speed.

It takes time to lay a solid foundation before one can cross boundaries and reach the next level.

He had only cultivated to the second rank of True Immortal after a hundred years of practice. If he wanted to advance to the next rank, he estimated that it would take about five hundred years.

What about the next rank?

Since there was no hope for rapid improvement in his personal abilities, he began to pursue the progress of the collective.

Furthermore, he also obtained a very wondrous method in the "Lost World".

"Gods."

Huowa looked at Yu, who was bathed in the faith of all living beings and had ignited a colorless and odorless substance called "divine fire," and felt a chill run down his spine.

The path of the gods has now spread from the Netherworld to the human world. Although it is a side path, it has spread widely, and those who frequently travel between the human world and the human world are all familiar with it.

"We didn't even notice this kid taking this second step?" Ironhead opened his mouth.

"I am the King of Men!"

"King of Men! King of Men! King of Men!"

As millions of people cheered, more and more faith gathered around Yu, merging into his soul and igniting a divine fire within him.

A golden figure stood atop the towering building, emerging from the burning golden flames.

The third of the four steps by which the deity sculpted the golden body was completed.
