The Human Race also heard Nuwa's words.
They immediately knelt on the ground and shouted.
"Thank you, Holy Mother, for creating us and protecting us."
Although the Human Race had only just been born, gratitude was innate to them. At this time, the Human Race was like a blank sheet of paper and a clear stream in the Primordial World.
Looking at the Human Race before her, Nuwa's face was filled with a gratified smile.
At this moment, Fuxi finally arrived late.
Fuxi knew his own limits. He was not qualified to participate in a grand confrontation with the Heavenly Dao. Rather than hold Nuwa and Qingxuan back and cause them trouble, he would be better off honestly waiting for the result.
Of course, this was all under the prerequisite that Qingxuan was there. Without Qingxuan, even knowing that he was less than an ant in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, Fuxi would still have stood before Nuwa without hesitation.
"Greetings, Sage Nuwa!"
Fuxi smiled and bowed to Nuwa.
Nuwa glared at Fuxi.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
Fuxi said with a smile,
"You're a Sage now, so your status is different. Naturally, I have to bow when I see you."
That was what he said, but seeing that Nuwa was still the same as before she became a Sage, and that the bond between the siblings had not grown distant because of her ascension, Fuxi was still delighted.
This was the difference between the Path of Hunyuan and the Path of Severing the Corpse.
The Path of Hunyuan lay in comprehending laws and returning great power to oneself. It had no effect whatsoever on one's emotions.
The Path of Severing the Corpse involved cutting away one's benevolence, evil, and self in pursuit of a selfless state of mind for better cultivation. It was somewhat like the Path of Ruthlessness.
If a living being severed away benevolence, evil, and the self, could it still be called a living being?
Fuxi looked at the newly born Human Race, his eyes filled with curiosity.
This was the race his little sister had created. They were born with an Innate Dao Body and were brimming with spiritual intelligence.
Seeing Fuxi arrive, Qingxuan suddenly had a new idea.
Brother-in-law was the future Human Race Heavenly Emperor. Since the Human Dao had already awakened, why not have him start teaching the Human Race now?
After all, I absolutely couldn't let Lao Tzu establish the Human Teachings again, enjoy the Human Race Destiny, and yet ignore whether the Human Race lived or died. What use was such a Human Teachings?
It would be better to have Brother-in-law establish the Human Teachings and enlighten the Human Race. Once the Human Dao rose, he would certainly obtain the position of a Human Dao Sage.
The more Qingxuan thought about it, the more feasible he found the idea.
He could not help telling Nuwa and Fuxi his thoughts.
Nuwa had already learned everything from Qingxuan's thoughts, so she naturally had no objections. Now that Nuwa and the Heavenly Dao had more or less fallen out, the Human Race Destiny naturally could not be given to Lao Tzu. Fuxi was her biological elder brother, so Nuwa was naturally willing to give it to him.
After hearing Qingxuan's idea, Fuxi could not help clapping his hands in approval. He trusted Qingxuan completely.
Thus, the matter was decided.
As for Lao Tzu being angered into vomiting blood when he comprehended his opportunity to become a Sage, that could be discussed later.
Qingxuan called over the first three members of the Human Race personally molded by Nuwa—two men and one woman. Since they had been molded by Nuwa herself, their appearances were naturally exquisite. One of them even bore some resemblance to Qingxuan.
"Holy Father."
Upon hearing the Human Race's form of address, Nuwa's pretty face flushed, but she did not stop them.
Qingxuan naturally had no intention of objecting either. After all, he had contributed greatly to the creation of humans.
"You three will respectively be named Suiren Shi, Youchao Shi, and Ziyi Shi from now on. You will be the leaders of the Human Race."
"Next, I will teach you some things. Watch carefully and learn carefully."
The three respectfully bowed to Qingxuan.
"We shall obey the Holy Father's command."
Qingxuan began teaching. He first taught Suiren Shi how to drill wood to make fire. Qingxuan explained in detail the principles and practical steps involved, and Suiren Shi quickly learned.
When the first wisp of flame rose from Suiren Shi's hands, a cloud of golden merit suddenly appeared at the edge of the sky.
Fifty percent fell onto Suiren Shi, and her realm instantly soared from Heavenly Immortal to Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
Thirty percent fell onto the tools Suiren Shi had used to make fire and the flame itself, turning them into a postnatal merit spiritual treasure—the Human Race's Undying Hearth Fire.
Twenty percent fell onto Qingxuan, who casually put it away.
The Heavenly Dao did not want to give Qingxuan merit either, but it had no choice. This was a fundamental rule governing the operation of the Primordial World's Heavenly Dao, and even the Heavenly Dao itself could not control it. As long as someone did something beneficial to the Primordial World, the Heavenly Dao had to bestow merit.
Afterward, Qingxuan taught Youchao Shi how to build houses. When the first house was completed, Heavenly Dao Merit appeared in the sky once again.
Youchao Shi also successfully broke through to Grand Unity Golden Immortal, and the first house became a postnatal merit spiritual treasure as well.
The Great Powers of the Primordial World sensed the aura of merit and used their Divine Senses to witness this scene. They were all dumbfounded. Since when had Heavenly Dao Merit become so easy to obtain?
Qingxuan ignored the Divine Senses of those Great Powers. If they wanted to watch, let them watch. They could not learn it anyway.
For the third person, Ziyi Shi, Qingxuan taught her how to make clothes and helped her understand their importance—not only for keeping warm, but also for covering the body.
Thus, merit descended from the heavens for the third time.
Ziyi Shi also successfully advanced to Grand Unity Golden Immortal and obtained a postnatal merit supreme treasure.
It was not only the Great Powers of the Primordial World who could not believe it. Fuxi and Nuwa were also left staring in stunned silence.
In a short span of time, Qingxuan had shaved three batches of merit from the Heavenly Dao, created three Grand Unity Golden Immortals, and produced three postnatal merit supreme treasures.
Fuxi's eyes were filled with admiration as he looked at Qingxuan.
"Qingxuan, why don't you become the leader of the Human Teachings?"
Qingxuan hurriedly waved his hands. He did not need the destiny provided by establishing a sect, nor did he need a Human Dao Sage position. His destiny had long been linked with Nuwa's, so the Human Race Destiny would naturally fall to him.
"Martial Uncle, the Human Race is different from the other races of the Primordial World. Compared with the other races, the Human Race's power is not great. On the contrary, it is extremely weak."
"However, the Human Race's potential is absolutely unmatched by the other races. The Human Race's strength lies in invention and creation. Therefore, when you teach the Human Race from now on, you must guide them to think instead of directly helping them solve their problems."
Listening to Qingxuan's instructions, Fuxi nodded seriously to show that he understood.
Since Fuxi would become the Human Race Heavenly Emperor, Qingxuan naturally did not need to worry about him any further.
Thus, after Fuxi was ready, he began the process of establishing the Human Teachings.
"Heavenly Dao above, the Human Race has now been born, ignorant and unknowing. Fuxi, moved by the difficulty of the Human Race establishing itself in the Primordial World, is willing to establish a great teaching to enlighten the Human Race. All members of the Human Race shall belong to the Human Teachings. I am willing to use..."
Before Fuxi could name the treasure to suppress destiny, a streak of light suddenly flew over from the edge of the sky.
The light dispersed, revealing a seal-shaped treasure. Nine dragons coiled around it, radiating a majestic imperial aura.
The Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Kongtong Seal.
The Kongtong Seal was not merely a Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure. It was also a Human Dao supreme treasure connected to the Human Dao Destiny.
Lao Tzu had used the Kongtong Seal to force the Human Race's Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to remain trapped in Fire Cloud Cave.
Now, the Kongtong Seal had emerged ahead of time and fallen into the hands of Nuwa, the Human Dao Master.
This was a gift from the newly born Human Dao to the Human Teachings.
Fuxi held the Kongtong Seal and proclaimed once more,
"I am willing to use the Human Dao supreme treasure, the Kongtong Seal, to suppress the Human Race Destiny. The Human Teachings—establish!"
Just as Fuxi spoke these words, Lao Tzu, in Eight Sceneries Palace on Kunlun Mountain, suddenly furrowed his brows. At this moment, Lao Tzu felt as though he had lost a great opportunity, one that might even affect his path.
Boom!!!
The sky thundered three times, and boundless clouds of golden merit appeared once again. The Human Teachings were established.
The Heavenly Dao was about to go insane. It had also wanted to stop Fuxi from establishing the Human Teachings, but the Kongtong Seal was in Fuxi's hands, and the Human Dao stood on Fuxi's side. The Heavenly Dao truly had no way to interfere and could only pinch its nose and accept it.
The instant the Human Teachings were established, the Human Race Destiny transformed into a Golden Dragon of Destiny and emerged above the Kongtong Seal. Although the Human Race had only just been born, it was an important part of the Human Dao and the future protagonist of Heaven and Earth. Its destiny was absolutely not weak.
