The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

After putting aside his many thoughts, Luo Zu met his uncles, grandfathers, and grandmothers, who had not yet achieved greatness.

Their cultivation level is still only at the Heavenly Golden Immortal level. The initial human race's realm was not very high to begin with, and it should be said that they had no cultivation at all.

Even in Nuwa's palace, they did not receive any special treatment from the goddess Nuwa, and the methods she taught them were outdated versions of the divine soul techniques.

However, while they may not receive any special treatment, they do receive quite a few. After all, they live in an independent little world where there are no natural enemies or harsh conditions like those of the prehistoric era, and the climate is naturally pleasant and livable.

They can catch all kinds of animals with their bare hands to eat. They are even born immortal and do not need to eat. They can sit or lie down and sleep soundly all day long without any problems.

In other words, because the goddess Nuwa patched up the human race, the lifespan of the second generation of humans was greatly reduced to only one thousand years.

Another significant difference between the first and second generations of humans is that the first generation of humans were silicon-based life forms that were recreated as carbon-based life forms, so their foundation still rests on earth, stone, and silicon. The second generation of humans, on the other hand, are purely carbon-based life forms.

Then, through years of development within this small world, the first generation of humans gradually became "gods".

The second generation of humans continued to reproduce and accepted the old version of the divine soul cultivation method of the goddess Nuwa, thus becoming "immortals".

However, the immortals were not very enthusiastic about reproduction, and their descendants also did not have a strong desire to reproduce.

Since the natural environment did not pose a significant threat, their physical bodies and souls did not change as a result, maintaining their original forms.

The "immortals" have now only reproduced to the second generation, which is the third generation of the human race. The fourth generation has not yet been born.

However, Luo Zu immediately discovered the root cause.

The resources in their small world were insufficient to support the lives of more "immortals," so they actively suppressed the human race's reproductive instincts.

As for how big this little world is, it spans 30,000 li, is home to countless creatures, boasts beautiful mountains and clear waters, fertile land, and a mild climate; it can truly be called a paradise on earth.

However, there were originally no other intelligent races besides humans in this place. Later, many humans achieved great success in their cultivation and were unwilling to serve "gods" or "immortals," so they made "epoch-making" inventions.

A new spell has been born – Spirit Awakening.

It can enlighten those beings with low intelligence, directly transforming them into subhumans, changing them from beasts into human form, but retaining some beast characteristics to distinguish them from humans.

These subhumans became servants of the "gods".

The "immortals" ruled over the demi-humans, dividing them into many regions. Everything produced by the demi-humans in these regions was then offered to the "immortals" who owned those regions.

The small world has limited space, a limited number of subhumans, and limited resources, so the number of "immortals" is also limited.

In other words, "gods" are not bound by this, because "gods" create their own world.

Nowadays, due to the continuous division of resources, there is a shortage of land. As a result, the four seas have been opened up, and the fish and other fish-like creatures have been enlightened.

After all, although immortals do not like to reproduce, if they accidentally have offspring, they will not choose to eliminate them and will still give birth to them.

Moreover, since each "immortal" has their own territory and none of them are willing to leave their fiefdom, there is very little communication between them. Without effective communication, the possibility of intercourse and reproduction is even lower, as they cannot reproduce through divine intercourse.

Luo Zu frowned deeply upon seeing this situation: "If the human race in this world continues to develop in this way, it may destroy itself."

With a simple deduction, he concluded that in another 12,000 years, the mountains, rivers, lands, seas, and abysses of the entire small world would be completely divided up. Opening up a grotto-heaven is a technical task, and it also requires some resources from the small world. After all, none of them are Taiyi, so they cannot create their own Great Dao and cannot create something from nothing.

Therefore, 12,000 years later, this small world will soon face various conflicts and wars. In the end, the "Immortal" race will destroy itself, and various demi-human races will inherit the "Immortal" civilization and begin their own era.

"Birth and death are inevitable; this was destined to happen," Lingzhuzi said leisurely.

He clearly had this understanding.

Since being created by the goddess Nuwa, He has witnessed countless creations and destructions of heaven and earth, and the creation and extinction of all living beings in the Nuwa Palace.

Therefore, He was no longer surprised by this kind of evolution of the human race.

But if all the ancestors of humankind perished here, it would be truly speechless.

So Luo Zu summoned all the humans together.

...

While observing the environment before him, Shen—Yi—interpreted the information that suddenly appeared in his mind.

The descendants of the human race still came from outside the Nuwa Palace.

Around him, a group of familiar faces appeared, including his peers and many of his juniors.

The first generation of humans consisted of 320 people, with an equal number of men and women, perfectly matching yin and yang.

The second generation of humans numbered 1,600, while the third generation numbered a full 5,800.

The fourth generation of humans has not yet been born.

There are thirty-six Golden Immortals among the human race, nine hundred Mysterious Immortals, and the rest are all Celestial Immortals.

The strength of the primordial human race subsequently expanded rapidly.

Unfortunately, this expansion was merely superficial and not truly powerful. It would be quite difficult for these humans to be taken out of this world; they would need the approval of the Goddess Nuwa.

However, Luo Zu is not lacking in these helpers now. If he really wants to help, he has cultivated many helpers in the Yuan Shen multiverse, and the number of those in the Other Shore has now increased to five.

"Are you Luo Zu?" Yi asked.

He had never seen anyone whose cultivation surpassed that of a Golden Immortal; in the entire small world, he was the one whose cultivation had progressed the furthest.

"Then I am Yi Zu," Yi said directly before Luo Zu could speak.

Because he had learned from the information transmitted by Luo Zu that the human race in the prehistoric world had developed to more than 36,000 generations.

Therefore, it is normal for him to be called the Ancestor, the first ancestor of the human race.

"I have met Yi Zu, and I have also met all the elders and fellow clansmen." Luo Zu was naturally polite and courteous, without being arrogant or rude because of his high cultivation level.

After all, the older generation of the Upper Cave Man tribe had all died.

Now, only in the Immortal Realm and this place are there people of higher seniority than him.

As for his bloodline, it is now uncertain. The first generation of humans are still alive, but he, the ancestor of the third generation of humans, seems to be missing.

Luo Zu traced back the past, uncovering the history he had concealed. Upon closer inspection, traces of his parents' existence in this world remained, but he could not resurrect them. Going further back, even the reason why the Upper Cave Man tribe migrated from Buzhou Mountain to the vicinity of Luo Township across hundreds of millions of light-years was unclear.

"Was it the work of the Goddess? Or some great god who cares deeply for humanity?" Doubts were already growing in Luo Zu's mind. (End of Chapter)
