The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Chapter 395 The Millennium War: Forging the Protoss

"Their king is not a realm, but a completely new being that has evolved, capable of ruling the entire race and seizing the power of the entire race for his own use, somewhat like what Yu called a god." Fire Boy spoke quickly and directly, explaining the peculiar characteristics of this race.

Luo Zu waved his hand: "It's different. Gods are formed through worship, while the king of the pig-faced, eight-clawed race was forcibly formed through bloodline."

"It's hard to say who's better or worse now."

But as human beings, Fire Boy and Iron Head Boy still stood on the side of their own human race. Although Yu's methods of bestowing gods also conflicted with them, as fellow human beings, they naturally looked down on the king of the Pig-faced Octopus Clan in their hearts.

"But then again, this pig-faced, eight-clawed race is actually an excellent natural resource for divine cultivation," Luo Zu thought to himself.

"???" Question marks appeared above Huowa and Tietouwa's heads.

Chieftain, your thoughts are dangerous.

They then thought of something else, namely, a legendary realm within the myriad heavens of the mind—the Floating Life Realm.

There was a legendary "god" in the world, who passed down the steps to godhood, and eventually one could become a god.

This method of ascending to godhood should be the ultimate method of divine cultivation at present. It has clear levels and is much less risky than the "ancient method".

"Go and summon Yu. Never mind, I'll just ask him to come directly," Luo Zu then said.

As his words fell, the space of the Fire Cloud Cave Heaven, which had already merged with the mountains and rivers of Luoxiang, was gently stirred.

Yu, who had been cultivating in seclusion in the mountain cave, suddenly arrived at the highest point of Luoxiang—the Luo Ancestor's cultivation cave.

Because Luo Zu had given prior notice, and because his wisdom was extraordinary, in the short span of time that the teleportation took, he understood Luo Zu's purpose in inviting him.

"Greetings, Elder Clan Chief." This is the title the younger generation uses to address Luo Zu.

After all, there were many chieftains of the Upper Cave Man throughout the ages, and they were not replaced after death, so it was necessary to distinguish between them.

Luo Zuyin was the first one, so he got this title. His successors were simply Fire Elders and the like.

After the clan chief steps down, he usually gets the position of elder.

"Greetings, Elder Huo." Huowa is the title.

"Greetings, Elder Tie."

"Yu, although you made a mistake in your cultivation of the divine path back then, you are still more experienced than us, which is why I specially invited you here," Luo Zu said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Yu repeatedly expressed his shame.

But Luo Zu waved his hand, telling him not to worry about it.

"This is also for the sake of the tribe. You don't need to dwell on the past. Just listen to what I'm doing." Luo Zu relieved his worries.

Upon hearing this, Yu's worries were largely relieved: "I will follow the instructions of the old clan chief."

Luo Zu then pointed out the method for ascending to godhood and the example of the "king" of the pig-faced, eight-clawed race, and suggested combining them.

"You can use this to deduce new methods and forge new gods," said Luo Zu.

Although he once said that humans do not need "gods", it does not mean that other races do not need them.

Since Yu has the experience of becoming a "god", he shouldn't waste it. Perhaps he can become a "god" of a pig-faced, eight-clawed species.

Moreover, this population has an astonishing reproductive capacity, laying 1,800 eggs per litter, of which 70% hatch. A pair of male and female individuals can lay eggs twice a year.

In addition, this group had even more chaotic relationships than the Upper Cave Man before they established their ethical and moral concepts. Apart from blood relatives within three generations, they mated completely indiscriminately.

Therefore, the reproductive capacity of this species is truly terrifying. The probability of a newborn individual being intelligent is not very high; it is about one in a hundred intelligent individuals.

Only those with intelligence are considered their kind; the rest are merely... sustenance.

This was the norm for many races on the primordial land. Those without wisdom were either driven out, reduced to livestock, used as resources for cultivation, or even used to refine spells and artifacts.

The same applies to the demon race, as well as ancient races like the dragon and phoenix that have dominated the world for centuries. Only the witch race is an exception, because individuals born from the witch race after birth are bound to possess wisdom. Even if their wisdom is low, they will be assigned corresponding positions instead of being killed and reduced to food for the tribe.

However, it is said that some more brutal witch tribes will harm their own kind of "losers".

Now we can add a human.

Humans are born with intelligence, making them truly extraordinary.

Returning to the pig-faced, octopus-like race, their reproductive capacity is truly remarkable, which Luo Zu "appreciates." Although not all of them are intelligent individuals, they can be selected from a hundred, and given their reproduction rate, their numbers are still quite considerable.

To become a believer in a deity, the first requirement is wisdom—the ability to think and to pray. Without wisdom, how can one maintain long-term faith in a person and offer sacrifices to them?

Therefore, the primary requirement for a believer is wisdom.

Given the reproductive rate of the pig-faced, octopus-like population, they could definitely support the emergence of a god.

In addition, the unique nature of their race, which allows them to produce a new individual like a "King" who gathers the power of the entire group, indicates that the entire race can become devout believers.

The plan explained by Luo Zu and Yu was to adapt the "signal" released by the "king" of the pig-faced octopus race into the "signal" released by Yu, so that Yu could be elected as their "king", and further, as their god.

Lozu even planned to make other humans the "kings" of the pig-faced, octopus race.

With further development, humans could be transformed into "gods" of other races.

"Enslave all the races of the primordial world! Make the human race the gods of all the races of the primordial world!" Luo Zu coldly uttered this terrifying plan.

Fire Boy and Iron Head Boy, however, showed no excitement; only worry.

Luo Zu naturally understood what they were worried about.

If this were done, humanity would likely face enemies from all corners of the world. Not to mention the myriad races of the prehistoric era, even the Wu and Yao races would be unable to overcome these two obstacles.

Moreover, their biggest concern is that humans might eventually turn against their own kind. If enslavement becomes a habit, a constant principle in the world, then current human morality may not be able to restrain the powerful humans from enslaving the weaker ones.

The chasm of desire has been dug out and can never be filled again.

Yu also expressed his worries, after all, he had experienced something like that and he knew very well how crazy he had been back then.

Unable to regard humans as their own kind anymore, and having no sense of identification with the Upper Caveman, they only see themselves, only themselves.

In the end, he was consumed by his own madness and devoured by the beliefs of his followers.

"Elder Chief, isn't this a bit too extreme?" Yu asked cautiously.

Luo Zu composed himself, his expression softening, and then smiled calmly: "If you consider it extreme, then it truly is extreme."

"..." Yu felt something was off about what he was hearing.

What he considers extreme is indeed extreme.

"Am I really that extreme?" Yu wondered to himself.

"Chieftain, the Witch Clan is now trying to mediate the war for us. If you let Yu join the war, it might not be good," Tie Touwa warned.

"Their king probably won't agree." Luo Zu's divine sense had already swept over the entire pig-faced, eight-clawed clan.

Although their territory is now extremely vast, spanning 800 million li from north to south and 900 million li from east to west, much larger than the human race's 90 million li territory, it is still within the range of Luo Zu's divine sense scan.

Therefore, neither the individual nor the collective thoughts of their race could escape the divine consciousness of Luo Zu.

As for the king of this race, Luo Zu could also see him. Although he was very special, he was only recently born. Although he was very wise and had special abilities, even the celestial beings of the pig-faced, eight-clawed race would submit to him. However, he had not yet achieved the status of a true immortal. His strength was only slightly stronger than that of a human race's Yuan Shen True Person who had reached the stage of refining the void and merging with the Dao.

However, Luo Zu could sense that his potential was even greater than that of ordinary prehistoric humans.

If such a special individual grows up, he will surely become a Xuanxian (a type of immortal).

As for the Golden Immortal, that's uncertain, since there are too many variables on the path to becoming a Golden Immortal.

It's not just about cultivation; it's also about choosing the right path. If you accidentally choose the wrong path, it will be difficult to start cultivating again.

"So, should we accept the mediation of the Witch Clan?" Tie Touwa asked.

"We need to give face to the Moon Witch Tribe," Luo Zu said.

"But it depends on the decision of the clan leader and the council of elders. We shouldn't get involved," Luo Zu said.

In fact, Ironhead and Fire Boy were invited by the current clan chief and the elders to consult Luo Zu about this matter.

But since Luo Zu has said that, they will inevitably have to tell him that he is currently in a critical stage of cultivation and will not see them when they return.

As for Yu, Luo Zu has already made arrangements, and he can simply carry them out.

He took a wisp of immortal energy from Luo Zu to conceal his movements, and then quietly set out.

In addition, Luo Zu also gave him a seed of a grotto-heaven, which could help him open up a grotto-heaven.

Although the method of Earth Immortals was also spread among the Upper Cave Man, this method was not easy to cultivate. It required finding earth veins or spiritual energy veins, and refining various resources into the domain. In addition, the true qi and immortal qi cultivated daily also had to be invested into it.

With such expenditure, it would take a hundred or eighty years to complete a domain, and then many treasures would be used to transform it into a blessed land.

Furthermore, the blessed lands that are opened up also differ, and the power they reflect will also be different.

This is also the experience summarized by practitioners in the Mind Sea Heavens over the years as they opened up their own grotto-heavens.

Everyone's newly opened world will be different, and the major paths they emphasize will also be different.

In short, the path of the Earth Immortal is not easy to cultivate, while the path of Qi Refining is much "easier," and practitioners generally choose to cultivate both simultaneously.

Some of the Upper Cave Man also practiced this method, but only three of them achieved the status of a cave dweller.

However, the spaces of these three grotto-heavens are not large. One is only a thousand miles wide, one is three thousand miles wide, and one is four thousand five hundred miles wide. They are not comparable to the Fire Cloud Grotto-heaven that Luo Zu opened up in the past.

Now, this seed of a grotto-heaven only needs to be fed with enough immortal energy to directly evolve into a grotto-heaven, within which the space will exceed 100,000 miles.

"Thus you have opened up a divine kingdom, accommodating hundreds of millions of believers."
