The Human Clan Must Strengthen Itself

"A race that does not know how to be self-reliant will only think of depending on others and living under their protection."

"That won't do. Sooner or later, you'll become a puppet of the powerful and lose your own identity."

"Moreover... our Wu Clan is inherently feared and targeted by the Heavenly Dao."

"If we act too close to the Human Clan, it might bring them Wuwang, which would not be a good thing for the Human Clan."

He knew in his heart that the Human Clan would become the protagonist of the world in the future, but this process would inevitably be full of trials of blood and fire.

The Wu Clan can provide appropriate assistance to the Human Clan, but excessive intervention is not advisable.

It will only disrupt its own development trajectory, and may even provoke a more violent backlash from the Heavenly Dao.

Upon hearing Houtu, Houtu suddenly realized. "So, that's why my elder brother wanted to use this wisp of your Primordial Spirit to indirectly help the Human Clan develop?"

"Can it benefit Human Clan without causing Human Clan to become too deeply entangled with my Wu Clan, thus attracting a stronger backlash from the Heavenly Dao?"

Zhou Ming nodded first, then shook his head.

"This wisp of Primordial Spirit will indeed help the development of the Human Clan, and may even become a guide for the early stages of the Human Clan."

"But... from the moment I completely severed that wisp of Primordial Spirit, it has had absolutely no connection with me anymore."

"I severed all ties between him and me long ago. He is now a completely independent being."

"Once he merges into the body of the 129,601st Person, he will become a completely new and independent individual."

"What?" Houtu was truly shocked this time.

Her beautiful eyes widened, and her voice rose several decibels. "Big brother! You... you actually completely severed all contact?"

"In that case, wouldn't you be unable to reclaim this wisp of your Primordial Spirit forever?"

Her face was filled with anxiety and worry. "Won't this have any impact on you, brother?"

Houtu Houtu's worry, Zhou Ming smiled gently and waved his hand.

"Sister Houtu, there's no need to worry."

"The amount of this wisp of Primordial Spirit isn't very large; although it had some impact when it was severed back then."

"But after so many years of recuperation, I have long since recovered and am perfectly fine."

Seeing that she was still frowning, Zhou Ming said no more about it.

With a flick of his wrist, a perfectly round bead radiating Dao Rhyme Daoist energy appeared in his palm—his innate treasure, the Dao Origin Divine Pearl.

He handed the Dao Origin Divine Pearl to Houtu.

"When Nuwa Zaohua the 129,601st Person, you will merge your Primordial Spirit into their body at the same time."

"Then activate this pearl to help conceal the secrets of Heavenly Secrets, lest the Heavenly Dao detect its abnormality too early."

Houtu solemnly accepted the Dao Origin Divine Pearl and nodded.

"Don't worry, brother, I know what to do."

She carefully put away the divine pearl, but then a crucial question came to mind, and worry reappeared on her face.

"Brother, the birth of this the 129,601st Person is already defying the heavens; they are truly Anomaly."

"If the Heavenly Dao were to notice his birth, it would likely unleash Heavenly Punishment Thunder!"

"Big brother... are you really confident that you can completely divert the Heavenly Dao's attention at that crucial moment?"

This is no joke!

If it fails, not only will Nuwa Creates Humans be in vain, but the "Anomaly" on which so much hope was placed will vanish instantly.

"There shouldn't be any problem."

"When Nuwa Creates Humans, I will begin... to Attain the Primordial Chaos."

"In this way, we can attract the attention of Heavenly Dao."

"Attain the Primordial Chaos?"

Houtu was taken aback at first, then her face showed even more worry. "Brother! Your Attain the Primordial Chaos is indeed a momentous event that shakes the Primordial Wilderness!"

"But... wasn't this already within the Heavenly Dao's expectations?"

"With your accumulated experience and talent, it's only a matter of time before you Attain the Primordial Chaos. Heavenly Dao must have already made preparations for this!"

"Can this matter alone truly attract the attention of Heavenly Dao, leaving Him no time for anything else?"

Seeing the deep worry on Houtu's face, Zhou Ming explained, "It should be possible."

"Heavenly Dao didn't know I would Attain the Primordial Chaos so quickly; it thought I was still being suppressed and unable to achieve it."

"When I suddenly attain enlightenment, He will definitely find it unbelievable and will focus most of His attention on me."

Zhou Ming paused, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

It's okay even if it doesn't work.

"Even if He punishes me after I attain enlightenment, I will not be afraid."

"At worst, I'll summon the Father God's Will again and chop Him down once more!"

The domineering tone in those words stirred Houtu's heart, but what followed was an even deeper shock.

Houtu's beautiful face was filled with disbelief. "What?"

"Brother, do you mean... the Heavenly Dao has been secretly suppressing your Attain the Primordial Chaos all along?"

This is absolutely unheard of!

Zhou Ming nodded, his expression unchanged. "Not bad."

"If it weren't for the Dao Origin Divine Pearl left behind by the Father God, which helped me withstand most of the suppression from the Heavenly Dao, I probably wouldn't have been able to Attain the Primordial Chaos Grand Unity Golden Immortal so quickly."

Upon Houtu looked at the bead in her hand, her beautiful eyes filled with astonishment.

"This Dao Origin Divine Pearl... is it that powerful?"

In her memory, although her elder brother's Accompanying Treasure was mysterious and could assist in cultivation, it didn't seem to have reached this level.

She thought it was at most a top-tier Innate Supreme Treasure, but she never expected that this pearl would have such heaven-defying power, capable of resisting the suppression of the Heavenly Dao!

Zhou Ming's lips curled into a smile, "I didn't expect that either."

"I always thought the Dao Origin Divine Pearl was just a top-tier Innate Supreme Treasure, but now it seems its grade is probably much higher."

Houtu, being exceptionally intelligent, immediately grasped Zhou Ming's implied meaning, and her voice trembled slightly.

"What you mean, brother, is... the Dao Origin Divine Pearl is... Chaos Supreme Treasure!"

In the Primordial Wilderness, Innate Spiritual Treasure are already rare, and Innate Supreme Treasure are even rarer, each one capable of suppressing the Fortune of an entire sect.

Chaos Supreme Treasure —those are things that only exist in legends!

Zhou Ming nodded slightly, confirming her guess. "Yes."

"Once I Attain the Primordial Chaos and completely refine this Dao Origin Divine Pearl, I will be able to comprehend all its mysteries."

"At that time, our Wu Clan will have another powerful trump card."

Houtu was utterly shocked. She murmured, "I never imagined... that Father God would leave such a heaven-defying treasure for our Wu Clan!"

This is an absolutely amazing surprise!

Zhou Ming's expression was also somewhat subtle.

"I never expected that the ' System ' that Father God casually refined back then would actually be of such a high level, capable of being refined into Chaos Supreme Treasure."

"System?" Houtu blinked her clear, bright eyes, a look of confusion and bewilderment on her delicate face. "What is that?"

This word was quite unfamiliar to her.

Zhou Ming waved his hand, using a metaphor she might understand. "Oh, that."

"Just think of it as... well, Wealth Bringing Boy, someone who brings good fortune and treasures."

He didn't want to dwell on this issue too much, after all, the System's origins were too unbelievable.

It's complicated to explain, so I'll just use a simple and easy-to-understand analogy to gloss over it.

Houtu: "..."

Wealth Bringing Boy? Wealth Bringing Boy who can give away Chaos Supreme Treasure?
