The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Chapter 333 Six Hundred Million Humans, the Evil of This World (First Update)

Good, good, good.

The voice that had arrived after three years resonated in the hearts of Huowa and the others.

When the elders received the message, their expressions were quite strange, but then they saw Luo Zu step out from behind the words.

This was a thought transmitted from Luo Zu from afar. Its thoughts were consistent with Luo Zu's, but it was not as good as Luo Zu himself in terms of wisdom and deduction methods. However, it was still comparable to an ordinary Xuanxian.

"Clan leader!?" Huowa and the others were both surprised and delighted to see a real person, not some kind of projection.

After arriving at this place, Luo Zu quickly scanned the Fire Cloud Cave Heaven with his divine sense.

His thoughts could only reach this grotto-heaven; they probably couldn't reach other regions.

"Fire Boy, Iron Head, is Yu Ke there?" As soon as Luo Zu's thought clone arrived at Fire Cloud Cave Heaven, he asked.

"Uh, clan leader, Yu has been... suppressed here by us." Huowa scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.

The others looked around, unsure how to respond.

"???" Luo Zu looked completely puzzled.

However, he soon learned the whole story.

There was no need for Huowa to explain; he simply understood the matter through the divine sense left in Huoyun Cave.

It was all his own doing. Although Yu obtained the magic, he did not know how to practice and adapt it properly to his own use, which led to this disaster. As for where the disaster came from...

It is his own essence, just as Luo Zu often saw in novels in his previous life that "incense is poisonous," and belief has the same effect.

The belief originated from tens of millions of people—no, the human population has now reached six hundred million…

The gathering of so many human beliefs naturally also shared their distracting thoughts and various grievances about life.

If he had become a true god, that would be another matter entirely. With the already formed Great Dao and the primordial spirit that resonated with heaven and earth, he could easily digest the resentment and anger of these living beings. However, he had only stepped into the third step, and the third step of the Investiture of the Gods did not bring much improvement in realm, nor could it compare to the Mysterious Immortal. It was only with the help of the divine status that he could be compared to the Heavenly Immortal.

The main reason was that the method of conferring gods was still in its infancy, and Luo Zu had not fully deduced it. The corresponding methods had not been implemented, and the wonders of various complementary realm enhancements had not been deduced to their fullest extent, which harmed Yu.

However, even if the method of bestowing gods was clearly deduced, it would be unwise for Yu to rashly accept the beliefs of all the cave dwellers.

He couldn't handle it.

"Clan leader, this kid has gone mad. We have no choice but to use the power of the Fire Cloud Cave to suppress him," Tie Touwa said helplessly.

Luo Zu truly did not expect that he would face such an outcome after he had just said "good, good, good".

So much has happened in just three years that he completely missed this major event.

However, it was Yu who was foolish. He didn't know to discuss it with him first and send a message in advance, so that Luo Zu could have given him some guidance.

This could also prevent him from directly accepting the beliefs of so many cavemen.

He first absorbed a small amount of human beliefs, then slowly established his own rules. As the human race spread, his rules gradually became a great path in the world. Then, with a light leap, he became a true god.

But he was too hasty and refused to discuss it with Huowa and the others.

The result of such impulsiveness is that he is now suppressed in the Fire Cloud Cave.

With a thought, Luo Zu arrived in a mountainous region. Under the shade of an ancient tree, a figure stood there, seemingly painted with gold. Amidst the dazzling golden light, there was a dark mass resembling mud in his chest.

This is Yu. In his madness, he merged the golden body he had created with his true self, and then transformed into this strange and mad god, wanting to devour the thoughts of the cavemen believers and turn them into resources for his ascension to true godhood.

Fortunately, his crazy actions were discovered by Huowa and others who were monitoring him at all times. They then quickly gathered the power of 124 human immortals who had not yet gone into seclusion and suppressed him in the Fire Cloud Cave.

Later, even the True Immortals could not suppress him, so they had to ask the power of the Fire Cloud Cave Heaven to suppress him.

Now, the power of the cave has transformed into this large tree, firmly suppressing him and trapping him in a daze from which he cannot escape.

When Luo Zu's divine sense swept over him, it startled him awake.

"Uh..."

After a few mournful cries, the shade of the big tree shed a few leaves, enveloping it and bringing it back to silence.

"Chieftain, is there any hope for him?" Tie Touwa and the others had already caught up.

"Do you want to live or die?" Luo Zu asked.

"Of course it's alive." Ironhead scratched his head.

"Chief, what kind of salvation is there for the living? And what kind of salvation is there for the dead?" Xi quickly followed and asked.

She was much smarter than Tie Touwa and Huowa, and immediately guessed that Luo Zu's words had a hidden meaning.

Luo Zu then said calmly, "Shedding this mud is the way to live, but all your cultivation will be destroyed."

"By grinding away his golden body and destroying his primordial spirit, he will be transformed into a ghost immortal, which can be preserved, but he will never have a physical body again."

"Are you trying to kill yourself?"

Luo Zu's last question was directed at Xiang Yu.

Although Yu still appeared dazed at this moment, a faint spiritual fluctuation emanated from his golden body.

"die."

Upon hearing that he had made his choice, the crowd that had gathered around stopped making a fuss and offering unsolicited advice.

Luo Zu nodded; he naturally understood what Yu was thinking.

But he had already explained the implications, so he made his choice, and Luo Zu wouldn't interfere further.

Then, Luo Zu beckoned and summoned the power of the Fire Cloud Cave.

The Fire Cloud Grotto is now being refined by several human immortals, who infuse it with Daoist techniques day and night, making it even more perfect. Its structure is not as good as before, but the foundation was still laid by Luo Zu, so Luo Zu can still easily call upon the power of the grotto.

The power of the grotto is invisible and intangible, but since everyone present is a true immortal, they can naturally "see" its existence.

That was a power that spread from the very source of heaven and earth, a mysterious power composed of all the great principles of heaven and earth in perfect order, now flowing into this lush tree.

The tree then sheds its yellow leaves, each one brushing against Yu's golden body.

Ding-ding-dong, dong-dong, hua-hua.

Like gold being forged and tempered a thousand times, or like spring water flowing into a stream, a five-colored radiance slowly rose from Yu's golden body, taking with it clumps of pitch-black silt.

As Luo Zu erased his divine golden body, he observed these "muds".

The evil beliefs of over 600 million cavemen have now converged here. Although it is only a tiny bit, like bits of nail polish, each one is terrifying. Even a true immortal would feel dizzy and mesmerized at the sight of it, as if their primordial spirit would be sucked into it, and they would be immersed in boundless regret, hatred, anger, sorrow, and grief.

Luo Zu snapped his fingers lightly, drawing the attention of the onlookers out of the commotion.

This has given Luo Zu many warnings.

After all, his Supreme Avatar is now about to reach the third step.
