Establishing the Human Teachings

Bai Jin looked up and quietly gazed at the statue. Tsk tsk~ This statue is much better made than Empress Nuwa's craftsmanship! Especially my own statue, why does it feel so much handsomer than Fuxi's statue next to it?

Several figures suddenly rushed out from a nearby doorway, blocking the statues. They shouted, "Who dares trespass in the Sacred Hall?!"

Bai Jin was surprised to find that all four people blocking him were women.

Upon seeing Bai Jin's appearance, the four women's faces changed drastically. They quickly knelt on the ground and exclaimed excitedly, "We pay respects to the Sacred Envoy."

Bai Jin raised his hand and said, "No need for such formalities, rise!"

The four women stood up, unable to control their excitement, and looked at Bai Jin with immense emotion. They were the first generation of the Human Race, created by the Holy Mother, and had all seen the Sacred Envoy before.

"You are the ones who guard the Sacred Hall?"

All four nodded excitedly.

Bai Jin asked doubtfully, "These days, I often hear the Human Race praying. What is it about? Has something happened to your Human Race?"

The four women exchanged glances. The woman in the middle respectfully said, "Reporting to you, sir, when the Human Race was first born, everyone was extraordinary from birth. However, through continuous bloodline inheritance, the Human Race's aptitude has gradually returned to mediocrity. Now, newborn infants only possess extremely weak spiritual energy."

"That is bloodline concealment, but as long as you cultivate diligently, transcending the mortal realm is not difficult."

Another woman couldn't help but complain, "Sacred Envoy, but the days and nights are too long now! It's bearable during the day, but many weak clan members cannot survive the long nights."

The woman suddenly knelt on the ground, lowering her head and pleading, "We beg the Sacred Envoy to save us!"

The other three women also knelt on the ground, sadly pleading, "We beg the Sacred Envoy to save us, the Human Race!"

Bai Jin was stunned, and his expression immediately became serious. The Great Desolation's day is a full 4,380 hours, equivalent to a year in his previous life. It was not unusual for the Human Race to be extraordinary from birth, but this current long day and night was highly problematic. For ordinary humans, it was an absolute torment, not just for the Human Race, but for other races as well.

The four women kneeling on the ground looked expectantly at the Sacred Envoy. Although the current long nights and days had not yet had too severe an impact on the Human Race, it could be predicted that one day, newborn human infants would have no spiritual energy at all. At that time, the long nights might kill a large portion of human infants, and some infants born at night might die before even seeing the light. For adults, hunting during the long nights would also be extremely difficult, making survival challenging.

Bai Jin said, "I am already aware of this matter, but I am powerless to change it."

All four women said fearfully, "Sir!"

"Do not fret, I will help you convey this matter to Empress Nuwa."

Holy Mother? The four women were overjoyed. In their hearts, the Holy Mother who created the Human Race was an infinitely great existence. They excitedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Sacred Envoy!"

Bai Jin nodded and turned to walk outside, a hint of doubt in his heart. A Saint's thought can observe the entire Great Desolation, so this matter concerning the Human Race surely could not be hidden from Empress Nuwa. But why had Empress Nuwa not taken any action?

Three days later, Taishang, Yuanshi, and Tongtian gathered at Buzhou Mountain. It was a rare place with abundant natural beauty, suitable for achieving sainthood.

Halfway up the mountain, Yuanshi and Tongtian both wore joyful expressions, while Taishang seemed worried.

Yuanshi smiled and said, "Eldest Brother, our Saintly Path is clear. What are you worrying about?"

Taishang looked at the distant human tribe and said leisurely, "My Saintly Path lies with the Human Race! But concerning Junior Sister Nuwa..."

"Alas~" Taishang sighed deeply.

Yuanshi and Tongtian also put away their smiles. The Human Race? How can Eldest Brother's Dao be with the Human Race?!

A translucent figure appeared before the three of them, beautiful and dignified.

Taishang, Yuanshi, and Tongtian all bowed in unison and said, "We greet Empress Nuwa!"

The three were not at all surprised by Nuwa's arrival.

Nuwa's phantom returned a partial bow and said, "I greet the three Senior Brothers." The Three Pure Ones had not yet achieved sainthood, so they were not worthy of Nuwa's full courtesy.

The three straightened up and looked at Empress Nuwa.

Nuwa smiled slightly and said, "Senior Brother can achieve Dao with the Human Race, Junior Sister is very pleased. How could there be any reason to refuse?!"

Taishang shook his head and said, "No, if it's only like this, I'd rather not have the Great Dao!"

Yuanshi and Tongtian also understood. After achieving sainthood, the struggle for the Saintly Path was essentially a struggle for destiny. Currently, Empress Nuwa occupied ninety-nine percent of the Human Race's destiny. If Eldest Brother were to achieve Dao with the Human Race, he would surely be suppressed by Empress Nuwa in the future.

Nuwa chuckled and said, "Eldest Brother, please rest assured. I will sever myself from the Human Race and do my best to cut off my connection to the Human Race's destiny."

Taishang frowned and said, "Sever yourself from the Human Race? Are you truly willing?"

Nuwa nodded and looked at Taishang quietly.

Taishang hesitated for a moment and said, "Below thirty percent!"

"Agreed! And I will not participate in the struggle for destiny."

Taishang smiled and said, "Good!"

Nuwa countered, "What can you offer in return?"

Taishang said solemnly, "The Human Race shall prosper greatly!"

Empress Nuwa shook her head and said, "Not enough!"

Taishang asked, "What do you propose?"

"I want you to restrain the Two Sages of the West, and none of you shall participate in the Witch-Demon Conflict, nor shall you participate in matters concerning the Human Race for the time being."

Yuanshi quickly asked, "The Two Sages of the West? They are also about to prove their Dao?"

Nuwa nodded and said, "Very soon."

The Three Pure Ones exchanged glances, and Taishang nodded, "Alright! We agree."

Nuwa revealed a brilliant smile and said, "Congratulations to the three Senior Brothers on achieving Dao."

The Three Pure Ones couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Empress Nuwa's ethereal figure vanished in an instant, appearing and disappearing with a single thought.

Yuanshi smiled and said, "Eldest Brother, you first."

Tongtian also looked at Taishang.

Taishang revealed a smile and said, "When we left Mount Kunlun, we agreed to have a competition. Why are you being so humble now?"

Yuanshi said seriously, "There is an order of seniority. How can we overstep?! Third Brother, you agree, don't you?"

"If my Elder Brother says so, then so be it!"

Yuanshi and Tongtian flew down from Buzhou Mountain and stood on the peaks of the surrounding mountains.

Taishang stood halfway up the mountain, gazing up at the heavens. His Great Dao rose and connected with the Heavenly Dao. All the immortals and gods in the Great Desolation sensed it and turned their heads towards Buzhou Mountain, as if a great existence was slowly awakening.

In the mountains, Bai Jin, leading two oxen, looked at the pillar supporting heaven and earth that stood between heaven and earth in the distance. A thought arose in his heart: Master and his two Martial Uncles were about to achieve their Dao.

On Mount Kunlun, disciples like Duobao and Wudang all soared into the sky, standing above Mount Kunlun, looking towards Buzhou Mountain. This aura of the Great Dao belonged to the Senior Disciple Brother.

In the Demon Court in the Thirty-three Heavens, demon saints such as Eastern Emperor Taiyi, Dijun, Kunpeng, Fuxi, and Bai Ze were in a meeting. Sensing the aura of the Great Dao rising from the land below, they all stood up abruptly, their faces solemn.

In Pangu Hall, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, who were discussing how to deal with the Demon Race, also suddenly stood up and strode out of Pangu Hall.

A vast voice echoed through heaven and earth: "I, Taishang, today establish a sect, which is the Human Teachings. It shall enlighten the Human Race of the world, suppress its destiny with the Taiji Diagram, and use the Green Lotus Carrying Pole as the treasure for achieving the Dao. May the Heavenly Dao bear witness. The Human Teachings are established!"
