Nuwa attained the Hunyuan realm, and the auspicious multicolored light had not yet completely dispersed. In the valley at the foot of Mount Buzhou, billions of newly born humans still knelt devoutly on the ground, gazing reverently at Nuwa and Xuan Wazi in the sky.

Xuan Wazi felt the surging primordial power of his Grand Perfection Hunyuan Golden Immortal cultivation within him. He then looked at the ignorant yet infinitely potential newborn humans below, his mind racing. Since the title "Holy Father" had already been bestowed upon him, if he did nothing, wouldn't that be a waste of such immense karma and opportunity? Investment must be thorough; helping someone in need is far better than adding to their wealth!

He took a step forward, his figure hovering above the billions of humans. A comforting, immense Dao charm naturally emanated from him. His voice, gentle yet clear, reached every human's ears, like a loving father's earnest teachings.

"Since you all revere me as your Holy Father, I shall fulfill the responsibilities of a Holy Father." Xuan Wazi's expression was solemn, carrying an unprecedented seriousness, making him seem like a completely different person from his usual flippant self. "The Holy Mother bestowed life and form upon you all; her grace of creation is heavier than Mount Buzhou. I shall now pass down to you the path to establish yourselves in this Primordial Era, to strive for self-improvement, and even to pursue the supreme Dao! This will prevent you from being reduced to ants and allow you to stand tall among all races!"

As his words fell, the entire valley fell silent. Even the wind seemed to cease. All humans, whether the Innate humans whose intelligence had awakened or the slightly more naive Acquired humans, instinctively held their breath. A sense of anticipation, originating from the depths of their bloodline, surged forth.

Xuan Wazi's gaze first fell upon the three thousand Innate humans. These Innate humans, personally molded by Nuwa, possessed pure Dao bodies and contained spiritual light within. They had the greatest potential and were the future pillars of the Human Race. He pointed his fingers like a sword, and profound energy from the Great Dao of Strength Fragment flowed from his fingertips. It was an ancient and most powerful law, originating from Pangu. Simultaneously, he extracted part of the essence of the Nine Revolutions Primordial Profound Art and his own comprehension of the Hunyuan Dao realm, refining it to its purest form, transforming it into the most fundamental explanation of the Dao.

In an instant, three thousand dazzling purple runes condensed at his fingertips. Each rune seemed to contain a miniature universe, flowing with the ultimate principles of life, death, and power. These runes, as if possessing sentience, transformed into three thousand streaks of purple meteors, streaking across the sky and precisely entering the sea of consciousness of each Innate human's forehead.

"This is the Nine-Nine Profound Origin Dao Scripture!" Xuan Wazi's voice boomed like a great bell, the sound of the Great Dao echoing in the depths of every human's soul, helping them comprehend this vast information. "This scripture encompasses everything. It was created by me after comprehending heaven and earth and analyzing all laws. Its path... directly leads to Hunyuan!"

"Beginning with Refining Essence into Qi, it elaborates on the mysteries of the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit in the human body, teaching you how to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, temper your physical bodies, condense true qi, and lay an unparalleled Dao foundation."

"Then, Refining Qi into Spirit, to condense spiritual consciousness, expand the sea of consciousness, and perceive the subtle workings of heaven and earth."

"Next, Refining Spirit into Void, where spirit merges with the void, allowing for initial contact with the mysteries of space and even time."

"Finally, Refining Void into Dao, merging your own Dao with the laws of heaven and earth, understanding your own path, overcoming the tribulation between mortal and immortal, shedding your mortal coil, transforming true qi into immortal power, and achieving the Earth Immortal Dao fruit. From then on, your lifespan will greatly increase, and you will be able to initially ride the clouds and mist and display divine abilities!"

Xuan Wazi's voice possessed a peculiar magic, slowly unfolding a magnificent cultivation scroll before all the humans. After Earth Immortal came Heavenly Immortal, True Immortal, Profound Immortal, Golden Immortal, Grand Unity Golden Immortal, Grand Unity Golden Immortal... He concisely pointed out the key points, characteristics, accumulated requirements, and the inner and heavenly demon tribulations to overcome for each realm. Although he did not go into great detail, he had clearly indicated the path.

"Above Grand Unity Golden Immortal is the Quasi-Saint realm, also known as Hunyuan Golden Immortal. At this level, one has already touched the origin of the laws and is initially beyond the river of destiny. They are considered a major power in the Primordial Era." He paused, his voice suddenly becoming grander and more ethereal, filled with endless temptation and majesty. "And this scripture ultimately points to the ultimate state of indestructibility through all tribulations, where one is free and at ease – the Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal Dao fruit!"

"However, this path is arduous. It cannot be achieved by those without great wisdom, great perseverance, and great fortune! The scripture contains the seed of the Great Dao of Strength, the source of all power. Whether you can use this seed to break through illusions, condense your own Hunyuan Dao fruit, attain Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal, transcend all things, and achieve great freedom and ease... will depend on your own creation!"

This Nine-Nine Profound Origin Dao Scripture could be considered the highest inheritance he could offer at the moment. Although the most crucial and core part regarding how to condense the Dao fruit of the Great Dao of Strength was still vaguely handled by him, firmly held in his own hands, the path to Hunyuan was clearly and undeniably indicated, giving the Innate humans hope and ambition to reach the pinnacle of the Primordial Era!

The three thousand Innate humans received this vast inheritance, feeling a thunderous roar in their minds. An unprecedentedly broad world opened before them. They trembled with excitement, tears streaming down their faces. Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal! That was a realm like the Holy Mother Nuwa, surpassing the limits of imagination! The Holy Father had bestowed such a heaven-reaching Dao upon them without reservation!

"Holy Father..." Many Innate humans choked, barely able to speak. They could only kowtow deeply, expressing the shock and gratitude in their hearts.

Xuan Wazi nodded slightly and then turned his gaze to the even more numerous 129,600 Acquired humans. The Acquired humans, formed from the mud flung from the gourd vine, had a slightly inferior foundation compared to the Innate humans and their intelligence awakened a bit slower. However, their sheer numbers made them the foundation for the Human Race's proliferation and growth, and they could not be ignored.

He waved his sleeve, no longer condensing single purple runes. Instead, he drew upon even more surging spiritual energy, transforming it into countless golden points of light, like stars scattered across the sky. These light points contained two different Dao charms. Like warm dew, they precisely descended and merged into the minds of every Acquired human.

"Your foundations are slightly inferior, but the Heavenly Dao is just. Diligence can compensate for clumsiness! I shall also impart two paths to you!" Xuan Wazi's voice remained grand, but with added encouragement. "One is the Nine-Nine Profound Art! This text will help you lay your foundation, sense spiritual energy, strengthen your physique, and progress step by step. If you persevere, you can reach the Heavenly Immortal realm at most, enjoying eternal life and freedom!"

"The second is the Martial Scripture!" His voice suddenly rose, carrying a sharp, progressive, and unyielding will. "This path takes a different route, not relying on external forces, focusing on developing your own potential! Refining Essence into Qi, entering the Dao through martial arts, tempering your supreme will, and condensing a Golden Core of Blood Essence and a Martial Dao Primordial Spirit! This path does not emphasize spiritual roots but only perseverance and state of mind! Cultivating to the highest level, you can achieve physical sainthood, shatter the void with your fists, and possess unparalleled combat power!"

His gaze swept over the Acquired humans whose eyes gradually brightened, and he said with resounding words: "If you possess great perseverance and great fortune, by relying on the Martial Scripture and continuously breaking your own limits, you can also defy fate, prove the Dao through martial arts, and achieve the Hunyuan Golden Immortal fruit!"

Whether it was the Nine-Nine Profound Origin Dao Scripture for the Innate humans or the Martial Scripture and Nine-Nine Profound Art for the Acquired humans, Xuan Wazi had incorporated a large amount of extremely practical knowledge into them. This knowledge was not profound Dao techniques but the foundation for the Human Race's survival in the Primordial Era:

Basic combat and fighting skills, how to utilize the environment, how to cooperate to fight fierce beasts; methods for identifying herbs and medicinal pills, which are edible, which can cure diseases, and which contain spiritual energy; techniques for drilling wood to make fire and even condensing true fire, to illuminate darkness, drive away wild beasts, and cook food; the way of survival through fishing, hunting, and farming, how to make simple tools, how to find water sources, how to sow and harvest... All-encompassing, it was a Primordial Survival Encyclopedia tailored for newborn humans!

Billions of clan members simultaneously received this vast torrent of knowledge. At first, there was bewilderment due to the sheer volume of information. But as the practical knowledge related to survival was understood, ecstasy and hope ignited in their eyes like wildfire! They saw a path forward, a hope to survive and thrive in this dangerous yet fertile land!

Especially the Innate humans, after understanding the grand blueprint of the Nine-Nine Profound Origin Dao Scripture, were so overcome with emotion that they could not restrain themselves. They repeatedly prostrated themselves, making bloodcurdling vows:

"We thank the Holy Father for the grace of imparting the Dao and teaching us! This grace is heavier than the Primordial Era; we will never forget it!"

"The Holy Father is merciful, his grace is like a second creation! We will diligently cultivate without stopping, not failing the Holy Father's high expectations!"

The shouts, initially somewhat chaotic, soon converged into a world-shattering torrent that soared into the sky, even causing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which had just calmed down, to vibrate again! Unprecedented devout faith and pure power of destiny, like surging tides, rose from every human, transcending space and continuously converging upon Xuan Wazi.

Xuan Wazi's entire body trembled. He felt a warm and immense power merge into himself. This power was different from the previously acquired merit; it was more enduring and closer to the origin. The esteemed position of "Holy Father," which was previously just an empty title, now became a substantial karma and authority intimately linked to the destiny of the entire Human Race! He clearly felt his luck soar, his connection with the Human Race deepening to the extreme, as if an invisible thread bound him to the rise and fall of humanity.

[Ding! Host has successfully imparted a complete inheritance system leading directly to Hunyuan for the Human Race, bestowed the way of survival, and thoroughly consolidated the 'Holy Father' title, gaining immense Human Race destiny and faith blessings! Mission 'The Beginning of Humanity' has been over-fulfilled! Additional Reward: Favor of the Human Destiny River (Significant effect, minor increase in cultivation speed, slight increase in comprehension, increased chance of encountering good fortune in times of crisis), Unfilial Points +!]

[Note: Although the host is usually not a good person, this investment shows foresight and generosity, truly a model 'Father'!(This evaluation is valid until the host's next act of unfilial behavior)]

Xuan Wazi felt the more integrated primordial power within him and the mysterious blessing of destiny, feeling incredibly elated. He almost wanted to roar to the heavens. "System, see this? This is what I call long-term investment! Sustainable development! When the Human Race becomes powerful in the future and spreads throughout the Primordial Era, even if I'm just lying there sleeping, destiny will flow in continuously! This is truly a venture with infinite returns!"

He could already envision the future: a prosperous Human Race, and he, as the Holy Father who passed down the Dao, enjoying endless destiny, with a smooth path of cultivation.
