The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Chapter 366 Humanity Does Not Need Gods!

Luo Zu naturally had a special feeling for Luoxiang. It was his second hometown, and it was named after his surname. It also witnessed his growth in the new world, from confusion and fear to high spirits. He gained so much here.

This feeling is truly irreplaceable.

As for Luoxiang today, it is just a low hill, especially since it is surrounded by towering mountains with snow-capped peaks reaching tens of thousands of feet high.

Compared to them, Luoxiang, a mountain only a little over 900 feet high, looks almost like flat land.

But the hundreds of mountains that surrounded it seemed to be guarding it and worshipping it.

These mountains were all transported here from various places by the people of the Upper Cave, and it took a lot of effort to move them.

Although Luo Zu knew their difficulties and their thoughts, he still rebuked their mountain-moving efforts at the time.

However, this move did indeed boost the confidence of the human race.

Later, Yu proclaimed himself the King of Men and wanted to make a name for himself in these mountains. He built many temples and even carved the peaks in his likeness. Even though the elders, including Huowa, opposed him, he continued to do so. In the end, he suffered the consequences. The elders used their magic to restore the peaks to their original state, making them lush with vegetation and filled with birdsong and fragrance.

In addition, when the people of the Upper Cave were moving the mountains, they specifically consulted the Hot Witch tribe, asking them to connect the local earth veins to these mountains that had been moved from thousands of miles away. Otherwise, if the earth veins were not connected and the earth's energy was not sustained, the mountains would not be able to grow vegetation and would become deserts.

The Hot Witch Tribe did not immediately grant the Upper Cave Man's request. Instead, they reported it to the Moon Witch Tribe. After the Moon Witch Tribe investigated, they determined that the Upper Cave Man only intended to use the mountains for decoration and to set up defensive formations. Therefore, they approved the Upper Cave Man's request.

In fact, the Upper Cave Man is no longer under the jurisdiction of the Hot Witch Tribe. Their strategic alliance has shifted to the Moon Witch Tribe. However, while the Upper Cave Man has many True Immortals, they lack a single Celestial Immortal, so they are still somewhat lacking in status. Many affairs are still handled by the Hot Witch Tribe. But if the Hot Witch Tribe has a dispute, they cannot directly ask the Upper Cave Man Tribe for help. They need to report to the Moon Witch Tribe first, or ask the Upper Cave Man for assistance before reporting to the Moon Witch Tribe.

It is said that the reason for this arrangement is that the current Moon Witch Chieftain and Grand Elder have gone to the Heavenly Witch Tribe to report on their duties and are listening to the Heavenly Witch preach and expound the Dharma, so they have no time to care about the affairs of the tribe.

As for how long it will take them to return.

"It seems to be limited to six hundred years," Huowa replied.

The young man was very excited. He was leisurely grilling meat and satisfying his hunger when, unexpectedly, Luo Zu's figure suddenly appeared beside him.

At first, he thought it was Luo Zu's mental clone in the Fire Cloud Cave Heaven, but he later realized that the two were very different during their conversation.

He exclaimed that the clan chief had returned, and people immediately rushed in from all directions.

One on the left, one on the right, one above, one below—water escape, fire escape, earth escape, they all came riding the wind; there were so many of them.

Upon seeing this, Luo Zu naturally called out each name one by one.

Then Luo Zu asked about recent events in the tribe.

Everyone answered in turn.

He was aware of what happened three years ago, but he hadn't received any news about what happened after that. He figured they had reported back, but because of the delay, Luo Zu hadn't intercepted it directly in the middle of the road. So he communicated with them in this way, and this communication could restore their old friendship.

Today, the human race has a total of one billion members, with a large number of newborns every year and very few deaths. This is mainly because the human race in the prehistoric era had a long lifespan. Even though they have now reached the forty-first generation and their physical condition has declined somewhat, their lifespan is still thousands of years.

As for why physical fitness has declined, the main reason is that humans are too active, which has led to a decline in the quality of local spiritual energy, thus affecting the living environment of future generations of humans, and the physical fitness of newborns has also decreased year by year.

"This matter is somewhat inevitable, so you don't need to blame yourselves too much," Luo Zu said, comforting everyone after making this deduction.

This is due to changes in the overall environment. It can't be said to be bad, but it can't be said to be good either. Luo Zu can only take it one step at a time.

He couldn't even predict what would happen ten thousand years from now.

Let alone the situation in the primordial world, he could even make mistakes in his deductions about the fate of the world within the pot.

They then asked about the strange phenomenon that occurred three years ago.

"This is a rare phenomenon of the Primordial Saint's enlightenment, so you don't need to be too alarmed," Luo Zu explained briefly.

As for taking them to hear the Dao, Luo Zu had no such idea. Firstly, the journey was too long, and secondly, they probably couldn't withstand the effects of the spatial teleportation technique.

"Clan Chief!" Yu, who had been in seclusion, rushed over and knelt down in front of Luo Zu.

Luo Zu calmly watched him approach. This kid had indeed had a tough time these past few years, but he deserved the suffering he had endured. Otherwise, all the things he had done would have caused those people to suffer for nothing.

As for what he has been doing all these years, it is to eliminate his influence, especially since there are still fanatical followers of his among the human race.

After discovering this situation, Luo Zu instructed the elders to quickly dispel the faith of these suffering people, as he truly did not want any member of the human race to lose their will or their beliefs.

While the human race does need a leader, it is sufficient for the leader to guide the overall direction of the human race; there is no need for the leader to become a "god".

Therefore, Luo Zu does not wish to become a "god" of the human race. Although countless beliefs still flow towards him every moment, most of these beliefs are not very deep. There are also those who have very deep beliefs in him, but they are few, at least much fewer than Yu.

The main reason is that Luo Zu was away from home for over a thousand years, so people could only read about his deeds and appreciate his wisdom in ancient books.

As for the cavemen who entered the world within the pot, most of them had cultivation levels above the primordial spirit level and had their own opinions. Unless a true immortal forcibly distorted their minds, that is, forcibly "converted" them, it would be difficult to make them believe in a certain "god".

Currently, there are 121 True Immortals among the human race.

Compared to the number of human members, this number may not be very large, but compared to the Lich and Demon races, this number is not small at all. After all, it has only been a thousand or eight hundred years, and the human race already has so many True Immortals. At the rate of growth of the Lich and Demon races, it would take at least ten thousand years for a True Immortal cannon fodder to become a True Immortal.

In other words, the Lich and Demon races would only use certain supernatural powers to mass-produce True Immortals, Celestial Immortals, and even Profound Immortals when the situation was urgent and a large number of cannon fodder were needed.

By then, the primordial world will probably be filled with celestial beings, and true immortals will be less valuable than dogs.
