Meanwhile.
Deep in the void, Qin Mu stood with his hands behind his back.
His gaze was fixed directly on the direction of the Human Race.
"Taishang has finally attained Sagehood."
"This makes things interesting."
"One of the mighty Three Pure Ones has now become the Protector Saint of the Human Race."
"From this day on, Taishang Saint and the Human Race are bound together completely."
As he spoke, Qin Mu's lips lifted slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.
Huang Tian was his Human Clone.
Naturally, he knew of the deal between Huang Tian and Taishang.
According to the original course of events,
Taishang would establish the Humanity Teaching and become a Saint. The Humanity Teaching was meant to be the Main Teaching.
But now, because of Qin Mu's interference, it had become the Protector Teaching.
"I wonder what sort of cause and effect this change will bring?"
Qin Mu murmured softly, the smile gradually fading from his face.
But after thinking it over, he didn't pay it much mind.
Huang Tian might appear to be his Human Clone, but this Clone was unlike his other Clones. It existed independently of his main body.
As Qin Mu saw it, even if a great karmic consequence arose, it would fall upon his Clone.
As the main body, he wouldn't be implicated.
Kongtong Mountain, the Human Ancestral Land.
At that moment, Taishang slowly opened his eyes. Galaxies seemed to rise and vanish within them, while Daoist rhythms flowed around him.
With the successful establishment of the Humanity Teaching, his cultivation had advanced from the Quasi-Saint level to that of a Saint.
Seeing Taishang attain Sagehood, Huang Tian bowed slightly.
"Congratulations, Taishang Saint."
Huang Tian no longer addressed Taishang as a fellow Daoist.
After all, Taishang was no longer as he had been.
