Human Race Flourishes

Hongyun looked at the Innate Human Race before him and nodded.

The Innate Human Race were the leaders of the current eighty billion humans.

"I am very happy to see the prosperity of the Human Race now!"

Hongyun said to the three thousand Innate Humans.

"However, for the Human Race to grow stronger, they must have cultivation methods suitable for them. Your opportunity has now arrived!"

"In the coming days, I will..., and you will..."

Hongyun made some arrangements with the three thousand Innate Humans.

There was no need for Hongyun to hide anything about Taishang Laojun.

By letting these Innate Humans know, they would understand what the so-called Golden Core Great Dao was.

Among them, a black-haired youth's eyes widened as he heard Hongyun's words.

"Holy Father, I have met the old man you mentioned before!"

The black-haired youth knelt on one knee before Hongyun and said.

"Oh? What is your name?"

Hongyun frowned.

Taishang was not slow; he had already infiltrated the Human Race.

"Reporting to Holy Father, my name is Xuan Du. Just a few days ago, that old man taught me a cultivation method, the Golden Core Great Dao. He also told me to cultivate diligently!"

The black-haired youth said again.

Hongyun looked at the black-haired youth before him and understood.

So this youth was the Great Master Xuan Du, the future chief disciple of the Human Religion.

Of course, he was also Taishang Laojun's only disciple.

And now, Taishang Laojun had already taught him the Golden Core Great Dao.

"How do you feel after cultivating for a few days?"

Hongyun asked Xuan Du.

"Reporting to Holy Father, these past few days I feel much stronger. It seems I can even defeat some demonic beasts!"

"However, this cultivation method ultimately cannot allow our Human Race to establish itself among the myriad races of the Great Desolation, nor can it make us truly powerful!"

Xuan Du said.

Hongyun nodded.

This Golden Core Great Dao cultivation method, when cultivated to a certain level, could indeed allow one to kill minor demons.

These minor demons did not refer to the small demons of the Demon Clan.

The great demons of the Demon Clan generally reached the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level.

While minor demons were at least above the Profound Immortal level.

The ones the Human Race encountered now were demonic beasts, not even reaching the Heavenly Immortal level.

They belonged to the lowest tier, those who had not yet become immortals.

"Yes, for now, do as I say. I will go and meet that old man!"

Hongyun nodded and said to everyone.

Hongyun did not blame Xuan Du for cultivating the Golden Core Great Dao, letting him develop naturally.

Whoosh!

Then, Hongyun's figure flickered. He released his divine sense, located Taishang's figure, and flew towards him.

"We respectfully send off Holy Father!"

Seeing Hongyun leave, the three thousand Innate Humans bowed.

At this time, Taishang Laojun was wandering among the Human Race.

He seemed to be constantly conversing with people.

"Human Race, Human Race, I feel my opportunity to become a Saint lies within the Human Race!"

"But how can I grasp this opportunity?"

Taishang Laojun wandered near Shouyang Mountain, pondering carefully.

Up to this point, he vaguely felt that his opportunity to become a Saint was here.

This was something he had found after wandering the Great Desolation for hundreds of years.

But...

He had no clue what this opportunity was or how to seize it.

Hiss!

But just then, a figure suddenly descended before Taishang Laojun.

"Hmm? Hongyun!"

Seeing Hongyun arrive, Taishang Laojun was a little surprised.

However, sensing the aura on Hongyun's body, which was still only at the peak of Grand Unity, Taishang Laojun felt a bit disdainful.

Peak Grand Unity was like an ant in the eyes of a peak Quasi-Saint like him.

"Taishang, are you here to steal the Human Race's destiny?"

Hongyun looked at the old man before him and shouted loudly.

"You... how did you recognize me?"

Taishang Laojun was shocked.

He was disguised, yet Hongyun recognized him immediately.

He was a peak Quasi-Saint; after disguising himself, even a late-stage Quasi-Saint would have trouble identifying him.

Yet now, Hongyun had seen right through him.

Buzz!

Since he had been recognized by Hongyun, Taishang Laojun no longer hid his true form.

He shifted his body, instantly reverting to his original appearance.

"Hongyun, I am going to become a Saint here. If you have nothing else to do, leave quickly!"

Taishang Laojun said with a stern face.

In his opinion, becoming a Saint was the most important matter.

A mere peak Grand Unity Hongyun was not worth mentioning.

If the other party didn't leave wisely, he wouldn't mind teaching him a lesson.

Although they were once among the three thousand guests of Purple Heaven Palace, the gap between them now was too vast.

He was about to contend for a Saint Position, while the other was still just a Grand Unity. It was laughable.

"You want to become a Saint here? Haha, you think you can become a Saint without my Hongyun's consent?"

Hongyun maintained his calm demeanor as he looked at Taishang Laojun and asked.

To borrow the Human Race's destiny and obtain Heavenly Dao Merit, success was impossible without his Hongyun's consent.

"You? The Human Race is a race with great destiny. Are you, Hongyun, also going to try and seize their destiny?"

Taishang Laojun's expression turned displeased as he heard Hongyun's words.

"I won't snatch the Human Race's destiny!"

Hongyun smiled calmly.

The Human Race already called him Holy Father, why would he need to snatch it?

If he, Hongyun, wanted this Human Race destiny, it would be his!

After speaking, Hongyun no longer paid attention to Taishang and left directly.

"Hmm?"

Seeing this, Taishang Laojun's face showed a hint of confusion.

However, Hongyun was only at the peak Grand Unity realm. After thinking for a moment and not detecting any anomaly, Taishang Laojun still didn't take Hongyun to heart.

Several decades passed.

One day.

"I've understood! The method to become a Saint, I know it! Hahaha!"

Taishang Laojun seemed to suddenly comprehend and burst into laughter.

At this moment, he finally understood that there was only one way to become a Saint: establish the Human Religion and borrow the Human Race's destiny to obtain Heavenly Dao Merit.

Thinking of this, Taishang Laojun was extremely excited.

Proving the Dao to Hunyuan and achieving the Saint Position was within reach!

At this moment, Taishang Laojun was incredibly excited, and his aura erupted uncontrollably, emitting rumbling sounds.

He had finally understood the method to achieve the Saint Position.

It was too difficult, and he was too fortunate.

Taishang Laojun felt that today, all his good luck from the past few hundred years had converged.

"Hahaha! Becoming a Saint, I'm about to become a Saint!"

Taishang Laojun shouted excitedly, then his figure flashed, and he arrived above the Human Race.

"Eight hundred billion humans, heed my command!"

In mid-air, Taishang Laojun roared.

His voice, like a great bell, resonated throughout the entire Shouyang Mountain area.

Instantly, countless Innate Human Race members emerged from their caves, looking up at the sky.

"Who... who is that?"

"His aura is so powerful! But it seems not as powerful as the Holy Father's!"

"It doesn't matter who he is. We've heard that the Holy Father is in Shouyang Mountain, and no one can do anything to us Innate Human Race!"

Among the Innate Human Race, groups of clansmen looked at Taishang Laojun and discussed.

The vast majority of them had never seen Taishang Laojun before.

Even Xuan Du had never seen Taishang Laojun's true appearance. When Taishang Laojun taught him the Golden Core Great Dao, he had disguised himself.

"That... is that Taishang Laojun from the Holy Father's mouth?!"

At this moment, Xuan Du recognized the old man. He should be the one who had taught him the Golden Core Great Dao before.

However, he had given up cultivating the Golden Core Great Dao these past few days.

Because he also understood that the Golden Core Great Dao could not change the fate of the Innate Human Race at all.

"This must be Taishang Laojun from the Holy Father's mouth! He's finally out!"

"Heh heh, he just doesn't know that the Holy Father had already foreseen everything!"

"Next, let's see what this Taishang Laojun does!"

A group of Innate Human Race members also walked out.

They looked at Taishang Laojun in mid-air, not panicking like the ordinary clansmen.

Even...

They were secretly amused, wanting to see Taishang Laojun make a fool of himself.

Earlier, the Holy Father Hongyun had already instructed them on what to do next, and they all knew it very well.

Compared to the Holy Father Hongyun, Taishang Laojun was nothing in the hearts of the Innate Human Race.

"Eight hundred billion Innate Human Race, today, I, Taishang Laojun, will teach you the Golden Core Great Dao!"

Taishang Laojun in mid-air continued to speak.

Then, he waved his hand, and countless streams of cultivation method information, like pieces of paper, fell into the hands of the countless Innate Human Race members.

Seeing that the vast majority of the Innate Human Race had obtained their Golden Core Great Dao cultivation methods, Taishang Laojun nodded.

Although his Golden Core Great Dao cultivation method was just something he thought of randomly on the way and later passed on to Xuan Du of the Innate Human Race, it was still a cultivation method devised by a peak Quasi-Saint expert.

If cultivated to the extreme, it could definitely condense a Golden Core.

It could even complete the Nine Revolutions of the Golden Core, comparable to a Earth Immortal.

Although Earth Immortals were nothing in the Great Desolation, much weaker than Heavenly Immortals, Mysterious Immortals, and Golden Immortals, they were still stronger than Human Immortals.

It was just that the Innate Human Race was too weak.

Taishang Laojun didn't feel there was anything wrong with the cultivation method he bestowed upon the Innate Human Race, thinking it was weak.

Instead, he felt that it was because the Innate Human Race itself was weak; otherwise, they wouldn't need others to bestow cultivation methods.

For example, the Three Pure Ones, they didn't have anyone bestow cultivation methods upon them; they had inherited cultivation methods in their minds the moment they were born.

"Hmm, now that the Innate Human Race has received my Golden Core Great Dao cultivation method, I can establish the Human Religion next!"

Taishang Laojun nodded.

By establishing the Human Religion and borrowing the luck of the Innate Human Race, he could obtain Heavenly Dao Merit.

Once he had enough Heavenly Dao Merit, he, Taishang Laojun, could prove his Dao and become a Saint today.

As for the Innate Human Race cultivating the Golden Core Great Dao, ultimately not becoming stronger, but instead becoming materials for the Demon Clan to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword, he couldn't manage all that.

"Innate Human Race, I, Taishang Laojun, today establish the Human Religion!"

Taishang Laojun's voice echoed again, reverberating in the ears of the countless Innate Human Race members.

"We will not cultivate any Golden Core Great Dao!"

"We don't want this rotten cultivation method!"

"Right, what kind of broken cultivation method is this, we don't want it!"

At this moment, voices rose from the crowd.

At first, there were only a few, spoken by those Innate Human Race members.

Gradually, the voices grew, and all eight hundred billion Postcelestial Human Race members were shouting.

After all, the Innate Human Race were the leaders of those Postcelestial Human Race members.

Since even their leader said not to cultivate this technique, the Innate Human Race naturally followed their leader's thoughts.

"We won't cultivate the Golden Core Great Dao!"

"We won't cultivate trash techniques!"

"The Human Race doesn't need this kind of technique!"

Voices like mountain roars and tidal waves echoed throughout the entire Shouyang Mountain area.

At this moment, Taishang Laojun, who was establishing his religion and preparing to obtain Heavenly Dao Merit, was stunned.

"What's going on?"

Taishang Laojun looked at the dense mass of eighty billion humans.

He couldn't believe that these humans were so united in not cultivating his Golden Core Great Dao.

However...

Regardless of whether the Human Race cultivated his Golden Core Great Dao or not, his Human Religion would be established today.

As soon as the Human Religion was established, Heavenly Dao Merit would respond and descend upon him.

"Human Religion... Establish!"

Taishang Laojun shouted again.

Rumble!

Immediately, lightning tribulations filled the sky, and auspicious clouds obscured the sun and sky, as if the entire sky had changed color.

"Our Human Race only respects the Holy Father as the sect leader!"

"Our Human Race only respects the Holy Father as the sect leader!"

"The sect leader of the Human Religion is the Holy Father!"

"Holy Father!"

"The sect leader of the Human Religion is our Holy Father!"

For a time, countless voices rang out again.

All humans, including the three thousand Innate Human Race and the eighty billion Innate Human Race, were frantically resisting Taishang Laojun.
