After Su Mu finished speaking, the Kongtong Seal emitted another golden light that shot straight into the sky, and a large expanse of Golden Cloud of Merit reappeared in the sky.
Six Parts of Merit entered Xuanyuan's body, stopping at the peak of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, early, middle, late, and peak Golden Immortal of the Origin, and finally Sub-Saint.
Two Parts of Merit entered the Witch-Slaying Sword in Xuanyuan's hand, with One Part of Merit integrating into the human race's vengeful souls within the Witch-Slaying Sword.
Countless human race vengeful souls floated out of the Witch-Slaying Sword. They had once suffered the slaughter of the Demon Race, and now, under the baptism of merit, they were finally liberated.
These vengeful souls showed gratitude, bowed deeply to Xuanyuan, expressing their respect and thanks.
Afterward, they turned and embarked on the path to the underworld for reincarnation.
These vengeful souls, with a sense of release from their past painful experiences, gradually disappeared at the entrance to the underworld.
They would be reborn and start new life journeys. Xuanyuan stood in place, quietly watching this scene, his heart filled with emotion and relief.
He knew that everything he had done was worth it because he had saved countless innocent souls, allowing them to find liberation and rebirth.
One Part of Merit turned the Witch-Slaying Sword into an Acquired Merit Supreme Treasure. Xuanyuan held the Witch-Slaying Sword and said, "From now on, this sword shall be named the Xuanyuan Sword."
The Final Two Parts of Merit flew towards Nine Heavens Xuannü and Bei Xuan, entering their bodies. Both of them advanced by one Minor Realm.
Nine Heavens Xuannü reached the early Quasi-Saint stage, and Bei Xuan reached the early Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal stage. Both were very happy.
The Twelve Golden Immortals watched as the golden ocean was completely divided, their faces filled with shock and confusion. They widened their eyes, unable to believe what was happening before them.
"How could this be?" Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun murmured, his voice laced with disbelief.
Samantabhadra Zhenren also frowned and said, "How did all this merit go to those guys? What about our share?"
The Twelve Golden Immortals exchanged glances, their hearts filled with confusion and dissatisfaction. They had originally thought that as disciples of Primordial Lord, they would receive a generous portion of merit, but now it seemed they were excluded.
At this moment, Taiyi Zhenren looked at Guangchengzi with a questioning gaze, "Senior Brother Guangchengzi, what exactly is going on? Are we not getting any merit?"
Guangchengzi also looked bewildered. He shook his head, indicating that he did not know why this situation had occurred.
Just as everyone was still immersed in shock, Su Mu's voice rang out again, "Chi You forged weapons and refined the Five Weapons, bringing immense contributions to the development of the human race. He shall be the Lord of Soldiers for the human race, as witnessed by heaven and earth!"
Another expanse of Golden Cloud of Merit appeared in the sky. Although it was smaller than Xuanyuan's Golden Cloud of Merit, it was still quite astonishing.
Guangchengzi and the others became excited again; there was still merit.
Chi You heard Su Mu's words and looked incredulous, saying, "Martial Ancestor, you actually..."
Before Chi You could finish, this Golden Cloud of Merit directly entered Chi You's body. Chi You's cultivation instantly increased, reaching early, middle, late, and peak Golden Immortal of the Origin.
Chi You, upon receiving the merit, actually reached the peak Golden Immortal of the Origin realm, which was the realm of an Ancestral Witch.
Chi You immediately knelt on one knee and said to Su Mu, "Martial Ancestor, I, Chi You, will henceforth dedicate myself to developing and protecting the human race."
Su Mu nodded and said, "Good, I believe you."
Guangchengzi and the others were completely dumbfounded. What was going on? Why weren't they given merit?
He secretly guessed that perhaps it was because their performance in the Investiture of the Gods War was not outstanding enough, or there were other reasons why they did not receive merit.
But no matter what, this outcome left them feeling extremely disappointed.
Just as they were wildly speculating, the sky of the Great Desolation suddenly darkened, with a hint of red within the darkness.
Everyone was shocked and spoke in unison, "Heavenly Karma!"
Before everyone could even react, that terrifying karma surged into the bodies of the Twelve Golden Immortals like a raging tide!
In the blink of an eye, they felt their cultivation being forcefully suppressed by a layer by an invisible giant hand!
Their originally powerful strength and realm were now rapidly disappearing like a receding tide.
"No!" someone shouted in horror, but it was too late to stop it from happening.
Within seconds, the aura of the Twelve Golden Immortals plummeted. Their originally immortal and transcendent appearance became somewhat disheveled.
They stared with wide eyes at their bodies in disbelief, their hearts filled with despair and unwillingness.
This sudden change stunned everyone, and for a moment, the entire scene fell into dead silence.
Primordial Lord, who was far away in Kunlun Mountain, instantly stood up and said, "What's going on? Not only did they not receive merit, but they also incurred karma."
He performed a divination and instantly understood. It turned out that they had killed humans to help Xuanyuan, thus accumulating karma.
"Alas," Primordial Lord sighed and waited for Guangchengzi to return to help him eliminate the karma.
The humans who were observing the ceremony at Mount Tai Summit had no sympathy for them. Although these Kunlun Twelve Golden Immortals were supposed to help Xuanyuan, the Co-Lord, they had also killed their fellow humans. Chi You, the Lord of Soldiers, although he wanted to unite the human race, did not arbitrarily kill humans.

The Twelve Golden Immortals returned to Kunlun Mountain dejectedly and paid their respects to Primordial Lord.
"Teacher, your disciples have failed in their duties. Please punish us," the Twelve Golden Immortals said in unison.
"Enough, let this matter serve as a lesson." Guangchengzi, this is the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir. Take it, and it can dissolve your karma."
Guangchengzi was overjoyed and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Teacher."
Guangchengzi took the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir, and the karma on his body instantly disappeared.
Primordial Lord said, "You may go down and cultivate."
The other Golden Immortals also wanted a Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir, but they didn't dare to ask.
Cihang Daoren hesitated for a long time before finally speaking, "Teacher, could you bestow a Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir to help this disciple eliminate Karma?"
Primordial Lord said, "You cannot always rely on your Teacher. You must also cultivate diligently and accumulate more merit. You may withdraw."
Cihang Daoren and the other Golden Immortals thought to themselves, "Teacher is too biased towards Senior Brother Guangchengzi."
Shouyang Mountain.
Shouyang Palace.
The Human Sovereign returned to his position, and thick golden merit descended from the heavens, directly entering Nuwa's body.
As this light merged, Nuwa felt a powerful force surge within her. Her cultivation instantly broke through another realm – Second Heaven of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin.
At the same time, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy began to surge madly into her body, making her aura increasingly powerful and her realm increasingly stable.
Nuwa opened her eyes, which flickered with golden light. She felt that her strength had been greatly enhanced.
When Xuanyuan took over as Co-Lord, Shennong went to the Ancestral Land. The Human Race Destiny increased, not only Shouyang Mountain but also the Human Ancestral Land received abundant Destiny.
The humans cultivating in the Training Ground, empowered by the strong Destiny, continuously improved their cultivation.
These human cultivators were immersed in the dense Spiritual Energy, sensing the boundless mysteries and power of Heaven and Earth.
Every breath nourished their bodies, and every exhalation made their primal energy stronger.
As time passed, their realms unknowingly broke through to higher levels.
Bottlenecks that were once difficult to overcome were now easily surpassed, making the human cultivators ecstatic.
They understood that all of this was due to the land they were on and the powerful Destiny they possessed.
In the Training Ground, human cultivators sparred and exchanged knowledge, exploring the path of cultivation together.
They found that the gap between them was gradually narrowing, and everyone was growing at an astonishing rate.
This atmosphere ignited the fighting spirit deep within them, driving them to pursue higher realms even more diligently.
Concurrently, the mysterious techniques and secret arts of the True Martial Scripture were also unearthed.
These precious inheritances benefited the human cultivators immensely, and they studied them with great eagerness.
Integrating them into their own cultivation, they not only enhanced their own strength but also comprehended many profound aspects that previous generations had never touched upon.
Thus, the human cultivators spent one spring, summer, autumn, and winter after another in the Training Ground.
Their realms continuously improved, and they grew from mere Initiate Disciples to Top Experts.
And all of this was inseparable from the destiny they possessed, and that land filled with wonders.
After dealing with the ancestral land matters and arranging everything, Su Mu set off for Shouyang Mountain.
Su Mu entered Shouyang Palace and bowed, saying, "Disciple greets Teacher."
"Su Mu, you are here," Nuwa said slowly, "I was just about to discuss something with you."
"Su Mu, I feel that I no longer need to wait for the Five Emperors to return. The Human Race Destiny is so strong now that we can establish the Human Dao."
"Teacher, if you establish the Human Dao now, Dao Ancestor Hongjun can easily suppress you," Su Mu said softly.
"Is that so? I was too hasty."
Seeing Sister Jin Feng return, Su Mu said, "Sister Jin Feng, you're back. Have you finished dealing with the Phoenix Race's affairs?"
Su Mu looked at the person next to Sister Jin Feng. This person had a face like jade and was very handsome.
"Who is this?" Su Mu asked.
Sister Jin Feng said, "Su Mu, let me introduce you. This is the current patriarch of my Phoenix Race, Kong Xuan."
