"Good!" Youchao Clan and Ziyi Clan stood up at the same time, their voices resounding, expressing their full support.
Once the decision was made, the entire Ancestral Land instantly began operating efficiently.
Suiren Clan immediately issued an order to prepare for the Totem Covenant Ceremony at the central altar with the most solemn rites.
The news spread like wildfire throughout the Ancestral Land and all the surrounding affiliated tribes.
Countless human beings, regardless of gender or age, whether ordinary people or cultivators just beginning their cultivation journey, flocked from all directions like a tidal wave to the altar in the center of the Ancestral Land, filled with excitement, curiosity, awe, and anticipation.
The crowds were huge, yet the order was impeccable.
They craned their necks, gazing at the three ancestors revered as gods by all their people, Fuxi hailed as the rising star of the next generation, and the woman in Seven-Colored Rainbow Robe who, simply by standing there, seemed to gather all the brilliance and auspiciousness of heaven and earth.
The altar was meticulously arranged, ancient runes were redrawn, Suiren Fire Torch, symbolizing the origin of human civilization, burned brightly in the center of the altar, its flames leaping as if sensing this extraordinary moment.
The auspicious time has arrived! The world seems to fall silent.
Suiren Clan stood at the very center of the altar, holding the enormous, ever-burning Suiren Fire Torch, with the Youchao Clan and Ziyi Clan standing solemnly to his left and right, respectively.
Fuxi and Yuanfeng stood side by side in front of the altar, facing the three ancestors and all the people of the human race.
Suiren Clan took a deep breath and raised the torch in his hand high. The flame suddenly flared up and the light shot straight into the sky!
His aged yet powerful voice, like the resounding toll of a great bell, echoed in the hearts of every human being, even resonating with the laws of heaven and earth.
"Imperial Heaven above! Houtu below! The Sun, Moon, and Stars bear witness! Mountains and rivers are our testimonies!"
Today, we, the human race, wish to forge an eternal alliance and establish a totem covenant with the ancient Phoenix Clan! From this day forward, the Phoenix will be the totem of the human race, enjoying the blessings and offerings of human Luck, and protecting the human race's prosperity and the perpetual continuation of civilization!
Humanity reveres the phoenix as an auspicious symbol, and with its blessings, we forge ahead with Luck, striving for self-improvement and creating a brighter future! This oath is witnessed by heaven and earth, and heard by all living beings!
As the voice faded, the entire Human Ancestral Land was stirred and stirred to a Luck pitch!
Yuanfeng stepped forward, her body enveloped in a natural flow of Seven-colored Divine Light. Without any deliberate effort, the majesty and solemnity of an ancient Divine Emperor emanated from her. Her clear and melodious voice, seemingly from the primordial era, intertwined with the oath of the Suiren Clan, resounding throughout the four corners of the Primordial Wilderness.
"By the will of Heavenly Dao! The Phoenix Lord Yuanfeng, leading the bloodline and will of his entire clan, swears to form a totem alliance with the human race!"
From this moment forward, the Phoenix Clan shall be the guardian totem of the human race, sharing auspicious omens, quelling calamities, sharing hardships, with our Luck intertwined and our destinies intertwined!
"When humanity prospers, the phoenix will flourish; when humanity declines, the phoenix will perish! If this oath is broken, the fate of the race will crumble, the bloodline will wither, and the True Spirit will be forever condemned to the Abyss!"
The moment the two swore their oath, a sudden change occurred!
Rumble--!!!
Above the Nine Heavens, instead of gathering dark clouds, endless thunder suddenly roared in the clear sky!
This thunder was not a thunder of Destruction, but rather a voice of the Heavenly Dao carrying majestic Heavenly Might, a sense of recognition and declaration!
It was as if the very rules of the Primordial World were trembling and being witnessed by this covenant!
Immediately afterwards, in the endless sky, the originally formless and intangible human Luck, which could only be perceived by powerful beings, began to converge and surge at an unprecedented speed!
Like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea and ten thousand streams converging, it quickly coalesced into a magnificent, solid, and unyielding river of Xuan Huang Luck!
At the same time, a noble, magnificent, vibrant, and auspicious seven-colored Luck of fortune crossed space from the direction of the Southern Volcano of Immortality, like a dazzling ribbon, and without hesitation, completely merged into the long river of human Luck!
Buzz!
Heaven and Xuan Huang Merit; your merits are immeasurable!
Just as the convergence of their Luck reached its peak, the void trembled, and a vast, majestic, and righteous Xuanhuang Merit Qi emerged out of thin air, splitting into two!
A larger portion, about 70%, merged into the Luck river of human destiny like sweet rain, causing it to expand again and shine brightly!
A smaller portion, about thirty percent, was even more refined and concentrated, falling directly down and enveloping Yuanfeng's entire body!
Yuanfeng's body trembled almost imperceptibly, and a hint of excitement and relief flashed in her beautiful eyes.
She could clearly "hear" the karmic burden that had plagued the Phoenix Clan for countless eons, like a leech clinging to the bone, heavy as a mountain, emitting a silent lament under the triple purification effect of the Heavenly Dao's formal recognition, the infusion of new life and fortune from the Human Dao, and the golden light of Xuanhuang merit. It was once again greatly dissolved and purified!
Although the most core and stubborn part of karma has not been completely eradicated, it has been largely eliminated. The remaining part no longer poses a fundamental threat to the survival and development of the tribe. Given time, with the continued feedback of Luck from coexisting with the human race, it will surely be completely eliminated!
What surprised her even more was that the barrier to the peak of the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal realm, which had been stagnant for countless years and seemed as solid as ice, was now showing signs of loosening!
Below, all the human beings felt a sense of lightness throughout their bodies, as if some invisible shackles that had existed since birth had been broken. Their souls became clearer and more transparent than ever before, their blood and qi flowed more smoothly and powerfully, and their spirits and wills became more focused! Many of their people who had been stuck at cultivation bottlenecks for many years suddenly had a flash of inspiration and broke through their barriers!
The Luck of the entire human race surged at a visible speed (as perceived by cultivators). The canopy of Luck gathering above the Ancestral Land became even more dazzling. On the canopy, the Colorful Phoenix clearly emerged, swirling and dancing, emitting clear and melodious cries, resonating and merging with the will of the human race!
"Totem, erect!"
Yuanfeng seized this perfect opportunity of convergence of Luck and witnessing of the Heavenly Dao, and with a soft shout, she conveyed all her hopes and blessings for the future of her clan.
A highly refined Primordial Spirit Mark, radiating the primordial Seven-colored Divine Light, shot out from between her brows!
The mark rapidly evolved and expanded in the air, transforming into a seven-colored Phoenix Manifestation with wingspans that blotted out the sky, exquisitely beautiful and noble, its body flowing with the Nirvana True Fire and auspicious energy!
This Dharma form was not an illusion. It carried the core essence of the Phoenix Clan and the true meaning of "Nirvana Rebirth" of the race. After emitting a clear and melodious phoenix cry that resounded throughout the universe and proclaimed a new life, it slowly sank down and finally merged completely with the boiling Xuan Huang Luck River of the human race, which was infused with seven auspicious colors, and they became one!
From then on, the form, spirit, and true meaning of "rebirth" of the phoenix were deeply imprinted on the collective consciousness, bloodline, and foundation of human Luck, becoming an inseparable part of the human spiritual world and an eternal totem! The soul of humankind was thus imbued with the splendor and indomitable spirit of the phoenix!
The ceremony was completed, the Luck stabilized, and the strange phenomena in the heavens and earth gradually subsided, but that aura of new life, prosperity, and harmony remained permanently in the Human Ancestral Land.
