From this, one could see the nobility of a Saint's Great Sect, standing transcendent above all else.
But did it not also reflect the hardships of the Human Race in the Prehistoric World?
"I am Cangyuan. Greetings, three senior Human Ancestors."
The Three Human Ancestors addressed him as a fellow cultivator, but Cangyuan would not truly believe he possessed the strength to stand on equal footing with them.
Even if the Three Human Ancestors' Grand Unity Dao Fruits were somewhat lacking, they were still genuine Grand Unity Immortals.
Great Luo Golden Immortals transcended the Three Realms and stood outside the Five Elements, gathering countless timelines of their past, present, and future into themselves. Only I exist, only I am unique; once proven, forever proven!
Their tremendous power was not something Grand Unity Golden Immortals could compare to.
Not even with Spiritual Treasures.
Of course, exceptionally powerful Spiritual Treasures were another matter.
After exchanging greetings, the Three Human Ancestors and Cangyuan took their seats in the main hall.
Suiren Shi spoke first, getting straight to the point. "What brings you to our Human Race, fellow cultivator? If there is anything we three can help with, we will certainly give it our all."
Youchao Shi also said, "Indeed. Daoist friend, please speak freely."
Cangyuan was not someone who liked to beat around the bush, so he said, "Three seniors, would you be willing to accompany this junior somewhere?"
Suiren Shi and the other two exchanged glances, each seeing the confusion in the others' eyes.
But their guest was merely a Taiyi Immortal. As Grand Unity Immortals, the three of them naturally had nothing to fear.
"Very well."
Cangyuan led the Three Human Ancestors into the Human World.
Cangyuan's twenty-four Inner Worlds were all protected by the Sky-Covering Array. Here, even if they discussed the Heavenly Dao or directly revealed the future, the Heavenly Dao would not notice.
Suiren Shi and the other two naturally saw the Taixu Tribe living and thriving within the Human World.
After more than twenty thousand years of peaceful development, the Taixu Tribe had been freed from external threats and had ample food. Its population had grown from a little over a hundred thousand to more than a billion people!
If Cangyuan had not imposed family planning restrictions, their numbers might have surpassed ten billion!
Cangyuan smiled. "Three seniors, what do you think of this world of mine?"
Suiren Shi nodded seriously. "It is naturally excellent. Our Human Race can live and work in peace here, free from the threats of foreign races. We truly must thank you, fellow cultivator."
Youchao Shi and Ziyi Shi also cupped their hands toward Cangyuan in gratitude.
Cangyuan continued, "Three seniors, this is the Human World. Have you ever considered relocating the entire Human Race here?"
The moment those words were spoken, the Three Human Ancestors froze.
Relocate the entire Human Race into a world created by another living being?
That was absurd!
As Human Ancestors, how could they gamble with the lives of countless members of their race?
Suiren Shi thought for a moment.
This daoist was a Jie Sect disciple, a Saint's disciple. He should know the origins of the Human Race.
Since that was so, if he still dared to make such a proposal, there had to be some deeper meaning behind it.
Perhaps things were not as shallow as they appeared on the surface.
Though Suiren Shi looked like a rough, burly man, his mind was as meticulous as a strand of hair. He was far from as simple and honest as he appeared.
"Daoist friend, do you know something?"
Youchao Shi and Ziyi Shi also turned to look at Cangyuan.
Cangyuan understood that if he did not give them a convincing explanation, the Three Human Ancestors would never help him.
Fine.
He would reveal a tiny fraction of the truth.
Having made up his mind, Cangyuan calmly said, "Heaven tilts in the northwest, and thus the sun, moon, and stars shift. The earth is incomplete in the southeast, and waters, floods, and dust flow there."
The moment those words were spoken, the Three Human Ancestors instantly lost their composure.
Did this not mean... that a great calamity would sweep through the entire Prehistoric World in the future?
Heaven tilts in the northwest, and thus the sun, moon, and stars shift...
Could it be... that Heaven would be torn open by a massive hole?
As Grand Unity Immortals, the Three Human Ancestors naturally knew what lay beyond Heaven.

Countless Heavenly River Weak Waters!
If the Heavenly River Weak Water swept across the Prehistoric World, all living beings would likely suffer devastation!
Suiren Shi asked hesitantly, "Fellow cultivator, these words..."
Cangyuan said solemnly, "They were spoken by my master. The doctrine of our Jie Sect is to seize a thread of survival for all spirits. That is why I chose your Human Race."
Youchao Shi said, "But fellow cultivator, in a matter as great as Heaven collapsing, would the Saints not intervene?"
Cangyuan said, "They would. But Saints watch over all living beings in Heaven and Earth; they would not specifically protect a single race."
"If we wait until then, it may already be too late."
Ziyi Shi was the only woman among the Three Human Ancestors. She asked, "Would Holy Mother not protect us?"
Cangyuan shook his head.
The same principle applied: the Saints protected all living beings in the Prehistoric World, not any particular race.
When Heaven collapsed and a great flood swept through the Prehistoric World, the Saints would be busy stabilizing Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind, resisting the erosion of Chaos, and refining stones to mend the Heavens. They would not specifically protect any particular race.
"Oh, right." Cangyuan decided to reveal something even more shocking. "Before Heaven tilts, the Human Race will face another calamity."
"A Spiritual Treasure refined from the resentment of the Human Race possesses the peculiar ability to break through the Witch Race's fleshly bodies. If the Heavenly Court learns of it..."
The Heavenly Collapse calamity was a calamity for all living beings in the Prehistoric World, so it might not have shaken the Three Human Ancestors too deeply.
But the calamity of the Witch-Slaying Sword was closely tied to the Human Race!
Panic visibly appeared on Ziyi Shi's face. "If the Heavenly Court finds out, our Human Race..."
Youchao Shi took over, "Our Human Race will face utter annihilation!"
Suiren Shi stared steadily at Cangyuan. "Daoist friend, was this also deduced by that Saint?"
Cangyuan nodded. "Correct. It was deduced by my master."
"I am merely following the Jie Sect's doctrine and seeking a thread of survival for the Human Race."
"If the three seniors are unwilling, then simply pretend I was never here."
Ziyi Shi said, "But... if the Heavenly Court truly intends to massacre us, would Holy Mother not intervene?"
Suiren Shi said, "Holy Mother is the Holy Mother of our Human Race, but she is also the Saint of the Demon Race. If that day truly comes, it would be difficult for her to favor either side. Holy Mother would likely... help neither side!"
Ziyi Shi's face turned visibly pale.
If that were truly the case, she could already foresee the tragic scene of Human Race corpses strewn everywhere in the future.
As for doubting whether Cangyuan's words were true—
The Three Human Ancestors had never considered it.
Because this had come from another Saint.
How could a Saint's deduction be false?
Suiren Shi bowed deeply to Cangyuan. "Please, fellow cultivator, protect our Human Race!"
Youchao Shi and Ziyi Shi also bowed deeply to Cangyuan. "Please, fellow cultivator, protect our Human Race!"
Cangyuan nodded calmly. "Naturally. Three seniors, let us discuss the specific plan."
Suiren Shi said earnestly, "Fellow cultivator, you have seized a thread of survival for our Human Race. Such kindness outweighs Heaven itself to us. Addressing each other as fellow cultivators now feels too distant. Why not become sworn siblings?"
"From this day onward, you will be the Fourth Ancestor of Humanity!"
As soon as Suiren Shi finished speaking, the system notification sounded in Cangyuan's mind!
"Ding, invitation from the Human Ancestors. Choice one: Refuse. Reward: Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure—World Destroying Black Lotus! Choice two: Accept and become the Fourth Ancestor of Humanity. Reward: One-tenth of Human Race's Destiny permanently bestowed!"
Cangyuan glanced at the panel and directly ignored choice one.
Although choice one's reward was generous, the World Destroying Black Lotus was Demon Ancestor Luohu's personal Spiritual Treasure. Even if the system dared to give it to him, Cangyuan would not dare accept it.
The reward for choice two was far more tempting.
One-tenth of Human Race's Destiny permanently bestowed!
If the Human Race's total destiny were divided into ten portions, then Nuwa, the Human Race's Holy Mother, permanently enjoyed three portions of it, even if she did nothing at all.
