The vast Primordial Era could be divided into three realms.
The Heavenly Realm and the Netherworld had not yet fully evolved, but the Four Seas and Eight Wastes had already taken shape.
When heaven and earth first opened, the Innate Humans were scattered across the Eight Wastes. Now, most of the Human Race lived in the East Wasteland, with scattered small tribes in the South Wasteland as well.
In the past, during the Heavenly Spirit era, all was calm and society naturally transformed. With the virtue of wood, and the year starting in the Shen Shi period, thirteen brothers each led a large tribe, cooperating and defending each other. The Earth Spirit, with the virtue of fire, had eleven brothers who rose in mountains like Bear Ear Mountain and Dragon Gate Mountain.
Currently, the Human Race is led by Jiutou Shi.
In Mashandi Land, the largest human tribe is currently located.
Humans with disheveled hair were seen everywhere, most of them clad in animal skins, though some wore clothes made of linen.
Warriors wielded wooden spears and stone axes.
Centered around the great tribes, large tribes existed for hundreds of millions of miles in all directions.
The territories governed by the nine great tribes were known as the Nine Provinces.
Therefore, most humans were active within the Nine Provinces.
Compared to those outside the Nine Provinces, it was much more stable.
The "barbarians" outside the Nine Provinces mostly lived precarious lives.
However, even though the Nine Provinces were located in the barren regions of the Primordial Era, and resources were scarce, the humans living there were not very comfortable.
Not to mention poisonous snakes and fierce beasts, powerful Exotic Beasts also appeared from time to time.
Food shortages and diseases were also major problems that had to be faced.
While there were large tribes in all directions, few Exotic Beasts could approach this particular tribe.
At this moment, a giant Strange Bird swooped down from high above. This Strange Bird had wings spanning thousands of meters, resembling a vulture, with black plumage that shimmered with a metallic luster.
Instantly, chaos erupted in the tribe.
The Totem Warriors guarding the tribe all wore solemn expressions.
Flying Exotic Beasts were not uncommon, but this one was very powerful.
At this moment, eight figures flew out from the tribe, jointly intercepting the swooping Strange Bird.
These eight people all had Hu Tao Dragon Bodies and Xiang Shou Da Ye, and were the eight among Jiutou Shi.
The leaders of the large tribes in the other eight provinces were precisely these individuals.
Totems appeared on these eight people, some on their brows, some on their faces, some on the back of their necks, and some on their shoulders.
After becoming Totem Warriors, the position of the Totem Mark on their bodies was not fixed.
In addition to the power of the Totem, these eight people were all cultivators.
Streams of powerful Magic Power and Blood Essence were released from these eight people.
The intercepted Strange Bird was only Mystic Immortal level.
Facing eight opponents, the Strange Bird quickly fell into a disadvantage.
The eight people began to surround and attack the Strange Bird.
Four of them shouted "Heavenly Spirit!", and the other four shouted "Earthly Spirit!".
Under the siege of the eight human leaders, the Strange Bird was soon wounded.
Seeing that it was outmatched, the Strange Bird grew fearful and flapped its wings, attempting to fly away.
"Boom!"
A Great Magic Power, superior to the Mystic Immortal level, descended abruptly and struck the Strange Bird precisely.
With only enough time to let out a scream, the Strange Bird was annihilated. Its massive body was torn to pieces, and its flesh and blood splattered everywhere.
At the same time, three more figures flew into the sky.
One was a great leader of the Human Race, the eldest of Jiutou Shi, with Golden Immortal level combat power. He possessed both Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Spirit Totem Marks, had cultivated the Human Race's strongest cultivation method to perfection, and was also exceptionally gifted.
The other two were also Golden Immortal level combatants, one being Cang Li Shi and the other Yue Jian Shi.
Although Cang Li Shi and Yue Jian Shi each possessed only one type of Totem power, in terms of Heavenly Spirit Totem power, the former could be considered the best among the Human Race, and in terms of Earthly Spirit Totem power, the latter was second to none.
While those who possessed two types of Totem power were few, the Human Race did have some. The most powerful was undoubtedly the eldest of Jiutou Shi, but the single Totem power of others could not compare to Cang Li Shi and Yue Jian Shi.
It was even widely rumored among the Human Race that Cang Li Shi was the reincarnation of the Heavenly Spirit, and Yue Jian Shi was the reincarnation of the Earthly Spirit.
In terms of Human Emperors, there was the Heavenly Emperor Cang Li Shi, the Earthly Emperor Yue Jian Shi, and the Human Emperor Jiutou Shi, making a total of eleven emperors.
"The turmoil in the Nine Provinces has been becoming more frequent recently," Cang Li Shi sighed.
Yue Jian Shi and Jiutou Shi both wore heavy expressions.
The Nine Provinces were already located in the barren regions of the Primordial Era, which was very unfavorable for the development of the race.
However, the fertile lands were not something the Human Race could occupy.
In the end, it was still a matter of insufficient strength.
Currently, the Human Race only had three Golden Immortals, and not even a single Grand Unity level cultivator.
This level of strength is not enough to be noticed in the current Primordial Era.
Among the Myriad Races of the Primordial Era, there are far too many stronger than the Human Race.
If Lu Ya had not taught the Human Race the Totem Method, they would be even weaker than they are now, perhaps only a few Mystic Immortal levels.
Currently, in addition to the three Golden Immortal levels, the Human Race has dozens of Mystic Immortal levels, over a thousand True Immortal levels, and tens of thousands of Heavenly Immortal levels.
"The plan needs to be moved up," Yue Jian Shi said with a serious expression.
"Can it succeed?" one of the Jiutou Shi questioned.
"Great God Pangu used his dying body as an Avatar; I can do the same," Cang Li Shi said calmly.
Hearing Cang Li Shi's words, Yue Jian Shi and the Jiutou Shi were both astonished, but they also made up their minds.
For the peace and tranquility of their kin, someone must bear the burden.
Paths are forged by walking them.
If you believe it's right, then stride forward with confidence.
Passing through layers of lightning and fire, Lu Ya had arrived at the summit of Buzhou Mountain.
The first layer of heaven was already beneath his feet.
Above him were thirty layers of heaven.
Currently, the Heavenly Realm had evolved thirty-one layers.
Once it evolves to thirty-three layers, the Heavenly Realm will be complete.
The evolution of the Netherworld was also nearly finished.
Lu Ya had gained quite a bit from his travels in Buzhou Mountain.
He could see the Sun Star by looking up.
Standing on the ground of the Primordial Era, the Sun Star appeared just as large, and it still looked the same size standing on the summit of Buzhou Mountain.
Distance seemed to have lost its meaning for the Sun Star.
Meanwhile, while Lu Ya was here, Di Jun was cultivating on the Sun Star.
Lu Yang, however, was busy. He was comprehending the Heavenly Dao, refining Magic Treasures, and observing everything above and below.
At this moment, Lu Yang paid more attention to the Human Race.
To be precise, he focused on the Human Race in the Nine Provinces.
The emergence of the Jiutou Shi could be considered the first epoch of the Human Race.
In Lu Yang's memory, ancient texts from his previous life recorded that Suiren Shi and Youchao Shi were born in the eighth epoch, Fuxi and Shennong in the ninth, and Xuanyuan and Chiyou in the tenth.
However, Innate Humans and Postnatal Humans were fundamentally different. The former were born from insects on Pangu's body stimulated by the wind, while the latter were created by Nuwa kneading earth. The only similarity was that both were Innate Dao Bodies.
Now that the eleven Human Emperors had gathered, Lu Yang's calculations revealed what Cang Li Shi and the others were planning.
Calculating the future of the Human Race was not too difficult for Lu Yang at this stage.
And delving into the past of the Human Race was even simpler.
With the Divine Ability of "Returning Heaven and Sun," he could see the past.
However, it was naturally very difficult to see the past of Hongjun, Rahula, and others, and equally difficult to see the past of the Dragon Race and the Phoenix Clan.
By using "Foreknowledge of the Future," one could know future events.
But such Divine Abilities were extraordinary and difficult to master, with many taboos in their application. If a backlash occurred, the consequences would be dire.
As for calculation, if "Foreknowledge of the Future" is seen as a formula, then calculation is using the formula to solve a problem.
The further into the future one calculates, the exponentially greater the difficulty becomes.
Furthermore, calculating heavenly secrets not only consumes Primordial Spirit and Magic Power but also requires Dao Cultivation.
Attempting to calculate heavenly secrets with shallow Dao Cultivation is bound to result in a backlash, and a single misstep could lead to eternal damnation.
If heavenly secrets are calculated and then leaked, causing the future to change, causality will inevitably follow. Therefore, heavenly secrets must not be leaked.
After all, altering the future carries great causality.
It wouldn't be entirely wrong to say that there are countless possibilities for the future.
However, futures with short time spans have fewer possibilities.
The present influences the future, and there are traceable patterns. Therefore, futures close to the present are fixed, and changing them incurs causality.
Thus, comprehending heavenly secrets and making arrangements for millennia later is not considered changing the future, but rather guiding it in a desired direction.
This is also why it is easier to calculate the future of the Human Race now, given their current weakness.
Additionally, having sufficient information makes calculations easier.
Lu Yang has a good understanding of the current Human Race, which facilitates his calculations.
After a round of calculations, everything became clear in his mind.
