**Return of the Human Race**

This fierce battle gave Lin Fan some insights, so he decided to go into seclusion for cultivation.

He entered the Primordial Pearl.

"Brother is here."

"Greetings, little master!"

The Immortal Apricot, Mysterious Spirit Fruit Tree, and Star Fruit Tree all spoke to welcome him, their leaves trembling with joy.

The origins of the three were even more profound than before.

This Primordial world was vast and boundless, with millions of miles of territory filled with misty Chaos Spirit Qi.

Cultivating here would be infinitely beneficial.

After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Fan sat down beneath the trees, took out the remaining four Chaos Immortal Apricots, and consumed them all in one go.

If the Great Powers of the Great Desolation saw this, they would likely condemn him for wasting precious resources.

Such Chaos Spirit Fruits were so rare that even Saints could not obtain one.

However, Lin Fan's intention was to break through his bottleneck—he had already reached the peak of the mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and needed immense Spiritual Power to advance to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm by perfecting the Three Thousand Laws.

The moment the Immortal Apricots entered his belly, the Primordial Great Dao True Explanation and the Primordial Creation Scripture began to circulate on their own.

Vast Chaos Immortal Power surged through his limbs like a tidal wave.

The Flower of the Three Thousand Great Daos within his body manifested and rapidly evolved under the nourishment of the surging energy.

The Dao Patterns inscribed on the petals evolved into various celestial phenomena, sometimes showing the Milky Way in reverse, sometimes the beginning of chaos.

Above his head, a surging River of Time appeared, where life and death cycled, destinies intertwined, deducing the ultimate truth of the rise and fall of all things.

His meridians and sea of consciousness expanded amidst the turbulence, as if heaven and earth were being reforged.

His translucent jade bones were etched with profound mysteries, and ten thousand feet of immortal radiance reflected the Dao marks.

As the laws boiled, Lin Fan's "Creation of All Things" quietly bloomed.

Within the vast territory, Creation Spiritual Breath poured down like a celestial river, spreading throughout the universe.

The Immortal Apricot, Mysterious Spirit Fruit Tree, and Star Fruit Tree greedily absorbed the spiritual essence, their branches rustling as if thanking the Great Dao.

"Little master is truly amazing!" the Immortal Apricot's tender branches swayed.

"We've never seen such pure Power of Creation," the Mysterious Spirit Fruit Tree sighed softly.

As Lin Fan reined in his aura and finished his cultivation, the celestial phenomena in the void gradually dispersed. The four Chaos Immortal Apricots had been completely refined. Although his cultivation had not yet reached the perfect stage, he had already reached the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

At this moment, the laws within him surged like a tide, and his divine sense reached all directions.

"Ultimately, there wasn't enough time..." he murmured, stroking the newly formed Dao marks. The immortal fruits, which took a hundred thousand years to mature again, could not satisfy his thirst for the Three Thousand Laws.

The three spiritual trees, however, were greatly moved—they had always considered their Chaos Roots to be supreme, but today they realized the vast difference in their origins.

"Was what Master just displayed an Innate Divine Ability?" the Star Fruit Tree inquired with its divine sense.

Lin Fan nodded.

"Brother is the most powerful!" the little spirit body that had transformed from the Immortal Apricot cheered gleefully.

"Cultivate diligently and take form as soon as possible." He took out a glazed bottle, and the Three Lights Divine Water dripped down like dew.

"We will not fail your expectations." The Mysterious Spirit Fruit Tree's branches bent slightly, as if bowing.

Lin Fan nodded slightly: "No need for such formalities."

Turning to leave, Lin Fan gazed at the landscape of Shouyang Mountain and discovered that the cultivation progress of the Human Race was slow.

Since their innate aptitude was difficult to change, their cultivation environment needed improvement.

After pondering for a moment, he decided to reshape Shouyang Mountain into a top-tier Innate Blessed Land.

As the concentration of spiritual energy increased, the cultivation of the Human Race would undoubtedly yield much greater results.

He sat in meditation and began to study the Primordial Creation Scripture.

After his cultivation breakthrough, his origin had undergone a transformation.

At this moment, his spiritual platform was clear, and the light of wisdom flowed.

Upon re-comprehending the true meaning of creation, he quickly gained new insights.

The so-called creation was, in essence, the way of creation and nurturing.

Heaven and earth served as the furnace, Yin Yang as the foundation, and the Five Elements as the medium.

Ding! Successfully comprehended the Primordial Creation Scripture, gaining the Hunyuan-level divine ability "World Creation."

Obtained Kirin Marrow.

Lin Fan opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his youthful face.

With the aid of this Spiritual Power, the laws of heaven and earth on Shouyang Mountain can be reshaped.

He immediately cast the Art of World Creation.

Vast Power of Creation surged forth.

In an instant, the mountains trembled, and the spiritual energy veins were reconstructed.

The old order collapsed, and new laws were born.

The entire Shouyang Mountain was revitalized, and spiritual plants grew wildly.

Ding! Shouyang Mountain has been successfully upgraded to a mid-level Innate Dao Field.

Acquired the top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Mountain River Map.

Feeling the nine newly formed spiritual veins within the mountain range, Lin Fan felt a sense of satisfaction.

Spiritual energy surged towards this place like a tide, and the cultivation efficiency for the Human Race here doubled.

Everyone on Shouyang Mountain sensed the change and exclaimed repeatedly:

How could the phenomena in the mountains change so drastically?

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is so abundant that even the plants are imbued with spiritual light.

Breathing and cultivating has become exceptionally smooth.

Could it be that a Saint reshaped Shouyang Mountain?

The Human Race rejoiced and spread the news.

Inside the cave dwelling, Hongyun's eyes snapped open, his face filled with surprise:

How could the order of Shouyang Mountain change so suddenly?

Upon closer inspection, he was even more astonished—

The entire mountain range had transformed into a mid-level Innate Dao Field, Nine spiritual veins crisscrossed, The rules of heaven and earth had been reborn.

Hongyun flashed to the Holy Emperor Palace and immediately asked:

Lin Fan, was the sudden change in Shouyang Mountain your doing?

Although this place is the Human Ancestral Land, it ultimately lacked spiritual essence.

I merely made some adjustments.

Lin Fan calmly admitted.

Hongyun's expression changed upon hearing this.

This matter, though spoken lightly, was in fact an act against heaven—

The Great Desolation has its own predetermined order, Immortal mountains and blessed lands are all determined by the Heavenly Mandate, Even a Saint would find it difficult to alter them.

But the facts before him could not be doubted.

How exactly did you achieve this?

Hongyun could not hide his curiosity.

I merely comprehended the Great Dao of Creation and grasped a Spiritual Power.

Lin Fan replied indifferently.

Hongyun was deeply shocked.

What kind of heaven-shattering means could possibly…

Lin Fan did not elaborate, and Hongyun wisely did not press further.

A supreme Spiritual Power that could influence the rules of heaven and earth would naturally involve secrets, and it would not be easily revealed.

Fellow Daoist Hongyun, you've arrived at a good time. I have something to ask of you, Lin Fan said.

Fellow Daoist Lin, please speak freely. Hongyun immediately responded.

I wish to build two pavilions on Shouyang Mountain, one to collect scriptures and another to store treasures and Dharma artifacts. I would like to ask you to manage them on my behalf.

Hongyun readily agreed: This is an excellent idea. How do you plan to operate it specifically?

If the Human Race is to rise, it must undergo trials. These treasures and legacies can serve as incentives.

Although Lin Fan's words were incomplete, Hongyun understood immediately.

The two arrived at an open space outside the Holy Emperor Palace.

Lin Fan flicked his sleeve, and two magnificent palaces emerged from the ground, their jade steps and golden tiles exuding ethereal immortal energy. Stone tablets stood before each, inscribed with the words Scripture Repository and Treasure Pavilion, respectively.

He stored all the treasures he had collected in the pavilion: rare items from the Solar Star, secret collections from the Witch Race's treasury... In the blink of an eye, the pavilion was packed full.

Hongyun probed with his divine sense and was immediately stunned—Innately Spiritual Treasures were piled up like mountains inside, Immortal Pills and Divine Fruits were countless, and dozens of Acquired Spiritual Treasures flowed with brilliance.

This was hardly a small collection? It was clearly comparable to the foundation of a major sect!

As a Great Power of the Great Desolation, Hongyun suddenly realized that compared to Lin Fan, he had become a poor rogue cultivator.

"Fellow Daoist, where did you get these treasures... from?" Hongyun couldn't help but ask.

"They are all tokens of goodwill from the Witch Race and the Demon Race. They were too hospitable, and I really couldn't refuse."

Lin Fan grinned.

Hongyun's eyes twitched involuntarily.

No one would believe you.

While gifts from the Witch Race might be somewhat believable, the Demon Race willingly giving treasures? ** He didn't believe it either.

It was likely that most of these were snatched from the Solar Star.

Di Jun and Taiyi were truly unlucky to have such a troublesome individual.

On the shore of the East Sea.

A Daoist with an extraordinary bearing sat in the air, preaching the Great Dao to the members of the Human Race.

"The so-called Human Religion acting against Heaven will eventually bring about its own doom."

"Only by converting to my Xun Teaching can one truly comprehend the profound truths of the Great Dao."

Someone in the crowd immediately retorted, "Immortal Elder, your words are mistaken!"

"Our Human Religion inherits the Three Thousand Great Daos personally taught by the Saint. Which of them cannot lead to fruition?"

Xuandu flicked his sleeve and sneered, "Those are merely crude combat techniques. The foundation of cultivation lies in seeking the Dao for eternal life."

With that, he formed hand seals and stirred the Dao Charm of heaven and earth, his body radiating immense light.

"I am Xuandu, the Master, a direct disciple of the leader of the Xun Teaching."

"If you sincerely convert today, you may become a registered disciple under my tutelage."

How had mortals ever seen such Spiritual Power? They all prostrated themselves, kowtowing, "We beg the Immortal Elder for mercy!"

Xuandu felt secretly pleased.

By slowly encroaching like this, the foundation of the Human Religion would inevitably be shaken sooner or later.

Suddenly, the sky cracked open, and a sky-obscuring giant palm slammed down, smashing him directly onto the beach.

Lin Fan's figure emerged from the dust.

Xuandu scrambled up in embarrassment and roared, "Lin Fan! How dare you obstruct my preaching?!"

Originally, the Human Race held a monopoly on Destiny, and the Xun Teaching could not advance an inch. His cultivation had been stagnant for a long time, and today he was publicly humiliated, his eyes almost spitting fire.

"Your Golden Core method has too high a threshold; others simply cannot cultivate it. If they believe your set of principles, how will they establish themselves in the Great Desolation in the future?"

Lin Fan's tone was calm.

Preaching was one thing, but slandering the Human Religion was another.

This Xuandu not only had a rebellious nature but was also arrogant.

"I am acting in accordance with Heaven."

"By cultivating my Golden Core Great Dao, one can naturally preserve their life."

"Your actions are truly defying Heaven."

Xuandu rebuked sternly.

The Human Religion cultivated the Way of Non-Action; he used the Heavenly Mandate to suppress others.

"A fine 'acting in accordance with Heaven'."

"Why not demonstrate your Golden Core Great Dao on the spot and let us open our eyes?"

Lin Fan calmly suggested.

Xuandu was immediately speechless.

Even the most foolish had heard of Lin Fan's reputation.

He could win in a verbal argument, but fighting him would be no different from seeking death.

"Scared? You don't even dare to spar?"

"With such cowardice, you are fit to preach?"

Lin Fan sneered mockingly.

Xuandu was furious:

"Arrogant!"

The treasured sword in his palm transformed into a stream of light, slashing down.

Lin Fan casually flicked his hand, sending Xuandu, sword and all, flying backward. The Acquired Spiritual Treasure, bestowed by his master, was shattered on the spot.

Xuandu's face turned grim—this sword had not been easy to obtain, yet it was destroyed with a single palm strike.

"Lin Fan! How dare you!"

Saintly Might suddenly appeared in the sky as Laozi's true form descended.

A colossal palm, imbued with the power of laws, pressed down ferociously.

Lin Fan was prepared. Thirty-six Sea Calming Divine Pearls rose into the air, manifesting myriad heavens and worlds, drawing upon the might of the four seas.

In the roaring collision, space shattered, and the colossal palm of laws was torn to shreds.

As the divine pearls flew back, their spiritual light had dimmed slightly.

Laozi's gaze sharpened:

"Sea Calming Divine Pearls?!"

Where on earth did Lin Fan get such a treasure?

The old man's face darkened. He glanced at Lin Fan, thinking that this kid's luck was indeed extraordinarily good.

Master!

Seeing the old man appear, Xuandu's face lit up with unconcealed joy.

The old man looked at the injured Xuandu, his expression growing uglier.

The Human Way sect's influence was vast, almost monopolizing all of the Human Race's Destiny.

Yet their own sect possessed nothing, their foundation precarious.

Therefore, he had sent Xuandu to the Human Race to spread their teachings and tarnish their opponents' reputation, hoping to find a breakthrough.

He hadn't expected Lin Fan to be so brazen and unreasonable.

Not only did he obstruct their missionary work, but he also injured Xuandu, which was truly infuriating.

Lin Fan, on what grounds did you injure my person?

The old man's gaze was icy as he looked down at Lin Fan from above.

A powerful oppressive aura descended upon Lin Fan as if the heavens and earth were collapsing.

Lin Fan remained calm and composed, but the humans below suffered. They trembled and cowered under the Saint's pressure.

Your sect does not protect the Human Race, and you disregard their lives and deaths, therefore you are unworthy to share in the Human Race's Destiny.

Lin Fan's tone was indifferent.

Though his voice was soft, it carried an undeniable authority.

Even facing a supreme being, he showed no fear.

He even disdained to glance at the other party again.

This attitude was as if he hadn't put the other party in his eyes at all.

Being so utterly disregarded, the old man roared:

We act according to the laws of heaven and earth. What could a mere stripling like you understand?

Your reckless actions, going against the heavens, will eventually bring retribution!
