Primordial World: I Start by Bumping into Nuwa!

Under external pressure, and given his father Di Ku's instructions before leaving the human race, Zhi, who had Co-Lord of Humanity for nine years, planned to abdicate in favor of his fourth brother Fangxun Shi.

Everything was fine until suddenly, rumors spread among the human tribes that Zhi was licentious and tyrannical, and that he suppressed the human tribes of the Nine Provinces.

This infuriated Zhi. He was merely mediocre at best; how could he be considered licentious and immoral?

The infamy of being licentious and immoral was not the most infuriating rumor to Zhi. What angered him the most was the rumor that his fourth brother Fangxun Shi, was planning to unite with various human tribes to kill his brother!

At this time, many human tribes began to support Zhi and support him to become the Co-Lord of Humanity, and disagreed with his abdication, which made Zhi lose his original mind for a time.

Meanwhile, some human tribes that originally supported Fangxun Shi suddenly launched a strong attack on Zhi's capital, Haodu.

Xuan Du and Fangxun Shi were still investigating the previous rumors and did not notice the situation in Haodu. By the time they arrived in Haodu, it was too late.

The chieftains of the various human tribes forced Zhi to abdicate in favor of the Co-Lord of Humanity, making him pass the Co-Lord of Humanity to Fangxun Shi. In this way, Fangxun Shi inexplicably became the Co-Lord of Humanity, known as Yao!

Yao: Your coup has caused me great suffering!

After Yao became the Co-Lord of Humanity, he had no choice but to enfeoff his elder brother Zhi in Gaoxin, allowing Zhi to inherit the territory of his father, Di Ku, in order to appease Zhi.

The matter seemed to be resolved, but in reality, it was fraught with unanswered questions.

Who exactly spread these rumors of debauchery and immorality?

Why did those human tribes suddenly attack Haodu and force Zhi to abdicate?

Someone's definitely stirring up trouble here!

Xuan Du began to investigate, and in doing so, he discovered that something was amiss.

Because the tribes that caused trouble were all from the tribes of important ministers of the former Human Emperor Xuanyuan. You have to know that Zhi and Yao were both descendants of Xuanyuan Shi, so these tribes had no reason to target them!

There's definitely a mastermind behind this!

While Xuan Du was investigating, news spread from various human tribes that Yao, in order to become the Co-Lord of Humanity, had framed Zhi for being licentious and immoral, and colluded with the tribal chiefs of the human race to stage a coup and force Zhi to abdicate.

Because Yao was the biggest beneficiary of this coup, he could not clearly explain himself in the face of such false accusations.

Xuan Du dared not investigate any further. He strongly suspected that the mastermind behind this matter was either Bai Chen or another saint.

After all, the way this matter is handled is somewhat similar to Bai Chen's style, although other saints could also be involved.

Xuan Du immediately reported this matter to Taiqing Laozi.

Taiqing Laozi then began to calculate, but ultimately he knew nothing.

Undoubtedly, someone interfered with the secrets of heaven, just to prevent me from noticing the problem immediately.

No wonder I didn't notice anything wrong; it turns out the other side had orchestrated something big.

Taiqing Laozi and Xuan Du shared the same idea: first, they doubted Yuanshi Tianzun, and then Bai Chen and the other sages.

Although he had considerable grudges with Bai Chen, Nuwa, and Yuanshi Tianzun.

Although Bai Chen is petty and holds grudges, and Nuwa isn't a good person either, the cat and Nuwa are going to split the profits, so there's no need to trick him over something like this.

As for the other sages, he had basically no grudges against them.

After eliminating all possibilities, my own good second brother, Yuanshi Tianzun, is still the most likely.

His own second brother, Pangu's Orthodox Lineage, who claimed to be the Yuanshi Tianzun Pangu, was arrogant by nature. He never expected that he would resort to such despicable means.

To prevent the other party from causing further trouble for Yao, Taiqing Laozi directly broke through the void and went to the Yuxu Palace.

Yuxu Palace...

"Yuanshi, you were the one who did this, weren't you?"

Upon meeting Yuanshi Tianzun, Taiqing Laozi immediately questioned him, stating that he was now 90% certain that Yuanshi Tianzun was the one who had committed the crime.

"Taiqing Laozi, it was inevitable that Yao would become Five Emperors. I was merely helping him to quickly become the Co-Lord of Humanity."

The proud and arrogant Yuanshi Tianzun did not deny it, but directly admitted it.

It was he who asked Guangchengzi to arrange this matter. When Guangchengzi was the Teacher of the Human Emperor, he was quite familiar with the human tribes and important officials under the Xuanyuan Shi, so arranging this matter was relatively easy for him.

"Yuanshi, that's quite a move of yours, directly saddled Yao with the infamy of seizing power through a coup."

Taiqing Laozi was furious. In his original plan, Zhi was to voluntarily abdicate the position of the Co-Lord of Humanity to Yao, so that they could be brothers and respectful to each other.

However, Yuanshi Tianzun has now made it appear that Yao succeeded to the throne through a coup. This dark history will make it impossible for Yao to clear his name, and it may even affect his merits as one of the Five Emperors.

Faced with Taiqing 'Laozi angry rebuke, Yuanshi Tianzun was also furious and retorted angrily:

"Taiqing Laozi, you made the Xuanyuan Shi bear the infamy of discarding their usefulness and harming their own daughter, and even made Shihuang Cang Jie help the Jiang Clan Tribe."

"This forced the Xuanyuan Shi to send troops to attack the Jiang Clan Tribe, thus seizing power through force and becoming the Co-Lord of Humanity. Now I am merely retaliating in kind!"

Yuanshi Tianzun believed that this matter was first started by Taiqing Laozi.

In that situation, the Xuanyuan Shi originally had immense prestige, and Flame Emperor Jiang Yiwang was about to abdicate. However, the trouble caused by Taiqing Laozi almost prevented the Xuanyuan Shi from returning to the Human Emperor.

The other party has branded the Xuanyuan Shi Human Emperor with the infamy of a coup, so why can't I brand the Five Emperors, whom Taiqing Laozi was in charge of, with the infamy of a coup?

The matter of Yao suddenly leads to the matter of the Xuanyuan Shi, and the right and wrong of this matter cannot be easily determined in a short time.

"Yuanshi, you'd better stop this now, or I'll make you regret it, even if it costs me a lot."

Taiqing Laozi didn't want to argue with Yuanshi Tianzun about right and wrong, so he directly made his harsh remarks here.

Since Five Emperors Yao, one of the Five Laozi, has not yet returned to his throne, Taiqing, who is wearing shoes, naturally cannot directly start a war of sages with Yuanshi Tianzun, who is barefoot.

"Taiqing Laozi, stop trying to scare me!"

Yuanshi Tianzun didn't take Taiqing Laozi's harsh words seriously at all. Didn't Taiqing Laozi have any idea what kind of strength he possessed?

When Taiqing Laozi saw that Yuanshi Tianzun was looking down on him like this, he immediately understood what his younger brother was thinking.

"Yuanshi, you caused me to attain enlightenment a little later, but that doesn't mean my cultivation is necessarily weaker than yours."

Taiqing Laozi directly revealed his cultivation level, which was in no way inferior to Yuanshi Tianzun, and was even slightly stronger than him.

Taiqing Laozi attained enlightenment later than Yuanshi Tianzun, but his aptitude was only slightly inferior to that of Sect Master Tongtian, and even so, he was still above Yuanshi Tianzun.

Moreover, since Taiqing 'Laozi original source was not lost and his speed was not affected, while Yuanshi Tianzun source was lost, he was able to surpass Yuanshi Tianzun.

"Even if your cultivation is no weaker than mine, so what? Your Taiji Diagram to my Pangu Banner. Moreover, I have the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud and the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda protecting me!"

Although Yuanshi Tianzun was somewhat shocked by Taiqing Laozi's cultivation level, he still did not take it to heart.

Yuanshi Tianzun thought, so what if Taiqing Laozi's cultivation was a few points higher than his own?

His own Pangu Banner was the most offensive of the three Innate Supreme Treasure, possessing the highest attack power, far surpassing the Taiji Diagram Laozi Taiqing.

Moreover, he also possessed two supreme defensive treasures: the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda and the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud. Speaking of the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, the Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't help but express his gratitude to the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Originally, the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda was the number one defensive treasure in the Primordial World, and it had always been kept by Laozi of the Taiqing Laozi. Now, the responsibilities were rotated, and since the thing was now in his own hands, he didn't need to worry about the other party at all.

In fact, besides the Pangu Banner, the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, and the Heavenly Auspicious Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud Yuanshi Tianzun had another trump card.

That was the Heavenly Dao's most ferocious treasure— the Heaven Suppressing Coffin —that he had secretly refined not long ago using the flesh and blood of three thousand Chaos Demon God and demons!

"Yuanshi, you must not use your Pangu Banner lightly, or you will suffer the holy wrath of Master Hongjun!"

"As for the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, judging by the time, Master Hongjun has decided that the time for you to take charge of the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda will soon arrive, and then it will be handed over to Tongtian."

Taiqing Laozi stabbed Yuanshi Tianzun in the heart and then rubbed salt into it.

In Laozi, Taiqing was unaware that he had stabbed Yuanshi Tianzun twice in the heart and rubbed salt into his wounds.

Before Yuanshi Tianzun prepared to refine the Heavenly Dao Ferocious Treasure, Dao Ancestor Hongjun warned him that even after refining the Heavenly Dao Ferocious Treasure, he should not use it lightly, otherwise he would be severely punished.

Even now, the strongest spiritual treasure that Yuanshi Tianzun can use for attacking is still the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi. As for more powerful offensive and malevolent treasures, they can only gather dust on the sidelines.

"Grand Pure Daoist!"

With a flick of his whisk, Taiqing Laozi released his avatar, Grand Pure Daoist, who possessed saint-level combat power.

"Yuanshi, if you insist on escalating this matter and a fight breaks out, you will surely be the one to lose!"

Taiqing Laozi's trump card is his clone, Grand Pure Daoist. In a two-on-one fight between himself and his clone, Grand Pure Daoist Daoren would be enough to defeat Yuanshi Tianzun.

Yuanshi Tianzun frowned as he looked at Grand Pure Daoist, the sage-level avatar of Taiqing Laozi. He felt a sense of pressure.

At the same time, he felt a mixture of jealousy and relief. He was jealous that it was Taiqing Laozi who had obtained the divine One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones and successfully cultivated it.

Fortunately, the fact that Taiqing Laozi cultivated the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones was discovered early by himself and Sect Master Tongtian, and they were able to retrieve his other saintly avatars Daoist of Yuqing and Daoist of Shangqing.

Otherwise, with Taiqing Laozi alone possessing the combat power of four Saints, how could they possibly compete?

Otherwise, even the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation of the Sect Master Tongtian would be somewhat annoyed when facing three Saint-level avatars.

After successfully putting pressure on Yuanshi Tianzun, Taiqing Laozi put away his sage avatar, Grand Pure Daoist.

"Yuanshi, you are not Tongtian, so don't expect Master Hongjun to protect you."

Before leaving, Taiqing Laozi warned Yuanshi Tianzun that the other party, like himself, was merely a disciple accepted by Dao Ancestor Hongjun on behalf of Heaven.

After Yao became the Co-Lord of Humanity, he established a systematic official system and appointed officials according to the division of administrative duties, such as the Four Mountains, which were the prototype of the Four Great Vassals. The Four Mountains were responsible for helping Yao manage and supervise the various tribes in the four directions of the human race.

In addition, Yao also established the position of Bai Kui, whose positions were similar to those of prime ministers and chief ministers in later generations.

Later generations, such as Shun and Yu, both served as Bai Kui before becoming the Co-Lord of Humanity.

It can be said that the position of Bai Kui was a transitional role for later generations to become the Co-Lord of Humanity.

Yao established a system of officials, transforming the loose tribal alliance into a political entity with the rudiments of a dynasty.

Yao also set up admonition drums and slanderous wooden posts to encourage all people to criticize the tribal leaders.

Yao continued to refine the calendar system established by his father, Di Ku, and determined the two equinoxes and two solstices, namely the spring equinox, summer solstice, autumn equinox, and winter solstice.

A year was defined as 366 days, with a leap year every three years.

Like his father Di Ku, Yao believed that agriculture was the key to the survival of the human race in later generations. Therefore, he promoted the precision of agriculture, which greatly increased the agricultural output of the human race.

Earth Emperor Shennong: After I greatly promoted agriculture, all you humans who hold high positions followed suit. Don't you know how to increase your merits in a different way?

Emperor Fuxi: It was clearly I, the Emperor, who initiated agriculture.

Earth Emperor Shennong: The agriculture you pioneered is a mess, a useless thing. How dare you say that? I'm the one who cleaned up your mess.
