Eight Scenery Palace, Taiqing Laozi regretted his past actions, lamenting, "If only I had established the Human Religion earlier, everything Nuwa possesses should have belonged to me, Taiqing Laozi."

Jade Void Palace, Primordial Lord exclaimed in astonishment, "How has the Human Race's destiny grown so much? According to the Heavenly Dao, the Human Race shouldn't have this much destiny?"

Biyou Palace, Sect Master Tongtian also marveled, "The Human Race is indeed the protagonist of heaven and earth, their destiny is truly profound."

Western Sumeru Mountain, Zhunti said to Jieyin, "Senior Brother, it's truly intoxicating. If only our Western Sect had this destiny."

"Should we go and get some destiny from the Human Race..." As soon as Zhunti spoke.

He was interrupted by Jieyin, "Junior Brother, speak with caution! Have you forgotten the incident where the Three Pure Ones were beaten by Nuwa?" His voice carried a hint of warning and nervousness.

Hearing this, Zhunti showed a hint of helplessness on his face, muttering inwardly, "Of course I remember, but if we don't do this, how will our Western Sect develop?"

Jieyin looked at Zhunti's expression, knowing his thoughts, but still insisted, "We cannot take this risk. Nuwa is the Human Race Holy Mother, and she has deep affection for the Human Race. If we dare to tamper with the Human Race's destiny, she will definitely not let us off."

Zhunti frowned, saying with some dissatisfaction, "Then what should we do? We can't just sit here and wait to die!"

Jieyin pondered for a moment, then said, "We can find other ways to enhance the Western Sect's destiny. For example, we can try to cooperate with other forces."

Zhunti found this reasonable and nodded, saying, "Alright, Senior Brother is right, we need to act cautiously. However, we cannot give up any possible opportunity."

Jieyin nodded in agreement, then said, "Exactly, we must remain vigilant at all times, not letting go of any opportunity we can utilize.

At the same time, we must also be careful not to provoke powerful beings like Nuwa."

Kong Xuan and the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird also arrived at Shouyang Mountain, Shouyang Palace. The Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird respectfully bowed to Nuwa and said, "Disciple Peng, greets Saintess Nuwa."

Nuwa looked at the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird and frowned slightly, thinking to herself, "Both are sons of Yuan Feng, how can the gap be so large? One is a Quasi-Saint, the other a Mystic Immortal."

"Never mind, there's still some potential after all."

Nuwa spoke to the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird, "From today onwards, you will be the second protector of the Human Religion."

"Thank you, Empress. Peng will do his best to protect the Human Religion." The Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird quickly pledged.

Meanwhile, in the Human Race capital, Xuanyuan had found his first successor.

Zhuanxu began to govern the Human Race, leading them in their development.

{Ding~ Detected that the current method of recording the Human Race is no longer sufficient. Please help the host create Human Race characters.}

{Reward: One drop of Pangu's Blood Essence, five Ginseng Fruits}

"Is it time for Cangjie to create characters?" Su Mu muttered to himself.

Su Mu got up and went to a small tribe near the capital.

Although this tribe was not large, it possessed a rich cultural atmosphere.

Here, Su Mu met the legendary Cangjie. He saw Cangjie engrossed in creating characters, his eyes revealing a thirst and pursuit of knowledge.

However, as Su Mu approached, he noticed Cangjie seemed to be encountering some difficulties, a look of confusion and distress on his face.

"Cangjie, what's wrong?" Su Mu asked with concern.

Cangjie looked up, saw it was Su Mu, and bowed, "Martial Ancestor."

Then he sighed and said, "I've hit a bottleneck while creating characters. There are some characters I don't know how to express, nor what symbols to use to represent their meanings."

Su Mu's heart stirred. He thought of a good method. Kunpeng had once created the Demon Script. It would be great if he could borrow the Demon Script Golden Ranking to take a look.

"Cangjie, come with me." Su Mu led Cangjie to the North Sea.

Above the North Sea, fierce winds howled and waves surged.

Su Mu stepped into the void, his gaze cold as he looked at the sea surface. He said coldly, "Demon Master, please come out and meet me!" His voice was like thunder, echoing throughout the entire North Sea.

The sea wind raged, and the waves churned, but Su Mu stood as steady as a mountain, exuding a powerful aura.

He understood in his heart that if Kunpeng hadn't participated in the massacre of the Human Race, with his current strength and state of mind, he would absolutely not be so polite to Kunpeng.

However, it was precisely because of this that he had personally come to find Kunpeng, hoping to obtain some important information from it.

Kunpeng heard the voice and opened its eyes, looking towards the void. "It's the Human Race Martial Ancestor Su Mu. Why is he looking for me? This Su Mu has a high status and considerable strength. It's best not to offend him."

Kunpeng sent a Lesser Demon to invite them to the Demon Master Palace. Su Mu and Cangjie took their seats.

The Demon Master Kunpeng asked, "May I ask what brings the Martial Ancestor here?"

Su Mu spoke directly, "I wish to borrow the Demon Race's Demon Script Golden Ranking."

"This..." Kunpeng hesitated.

Su Mu continued, "I am borrowing the Demon Script Golden Ranking to create the Human Race's characters. If it succeeds, the Demon Master will also have merit."

"Truly?" Kunpeng's eyes lit up upon hearing about merit. Most of his displeasure vanished instantly, and a smile appeared on his face.

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

He hurriedly asked, "Mr. Su, is what you said true? If this can be achieved, it would be truly wonderful!"

Su Mu smiled and nodded affirmatively. Kunpeng was overjoyed upon hearing this and unhesitatingly took out the Demon Script Golden Ranking from his embrace, handing it to Su Mu.

He said excitedly, "Martial Ancestor, please accept this Demon Script Golden Ranking."

Su Mu took the Demon Script Golden Ranking, then handed it to Cangjie beside him, and instructed, "Cangjie, I'm lending you this Demon Race Golden Ranking. I hope you can use it to create characters belonging to the Human Race."

Cangjie respectfully took the Demon Race Golden Ranking, his eyes flashing with determination. He solemnly nodded and replied, "Thank you, Martial Ancestor. I will not fail this trust and will complete this important task."

Su Mu turned to Kunpeng and said gratefully, "Demon Master, thank you for your generous help. However, we may need to trouble you here for a few more days so that Cangjie can focus on researching and creating characters."

Kunpeng quickly nodded and said heartily with a laugh, "Martial Ancestor, you are too kind. Please feel free to stay here and make yourselves at home.

I look forward to Cangjie creating characters for the Human Race soon. It will surely be a great achievement in human history." After speaking, he enthusiastically prepared a Cave Dwelling for Su Mu and the other to rest.

For the next few days, Cangjie was engrossed in studying the Demon Script Golden Ranking.

He carefully observed the characters created by the Demon Master Kunpeng and meticulously pondered the meaning and expression of each one.

As time went by, Cangjie's character creation work made significant progress.

He began to experiment with different symbols and graphics to represent various things and concepts, gradually forming a complete writing system.

These characters could not only record people's language and thoughts but also convey more information and emotions.

During this process, Su Mu also learned a lot about characters and language.

He realized that characters were not just a tool but an important component of human civilization.

Through characters, people could better understand each other, pass down knowledge and experience, and promote social development and progress.

Ultimately, Cangjie successfully created a brand-new writing system. This system was later widely applied in various fields and became one of the cornerstones of human civilization.

Su Mu and Cangjie then bid farewell to the Demon Master Kunpeng and returned to the Human Ancestral Land.

"Cangjie, you can now announce it to the Primordial Heaven and Earth," Su Mu said to Cangjie.

"Alright."

"I am Cangjie of the Human Race. Deeply feeling the shortcomings of knot-tying for record-keeping and the Demon Script, which cannot fully record history and knowledge, I wish to create the Literary Dao for the Human Race and even the Myriad Races of Primordial World, to expound the profound mysteries of heaven and earth with characters, and to pass down wisdom. May the Great Dao bear witness!"

As soon as the words fell, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the sky, as if the entire heaven and earth were responding to his oath.

Immediately after, mysterious Great Dao Divine Thunder descended from the sky, illuminating the area where Cangjie was.

This Great Dao Divine Thunder contained endless pressure and power, striking towards Cangjie.

Cangjie stood there quietly, his gaze fixed on the raging Great Dao Divine Thunder.

As his will moved, he began to wave his hands in the void, writing stroke by stroke.

Each character shimmered with a mysterious light, as if containing infinite power.

As time passed, more and more characters appeared in the sky. They were arranged neatly, forming a magnificent scroll.

These characters encompassed everything in heaven and earth, including Wen, Wu, Tian, Di, Xuan, Huang, Yu, Zhou, Hong, Huang, and so on.

Each character was condensed from Cangjie's blood and sweat, filled with infinite wisdom and power.

At this moment, the Great Dao Divine Thunder also sensed the threat, and it madly bombarded the three thousand characters in the sky.

However, these characters were not destroyed; instead, they became even more dazzling under the baptism of the divine thunder.

Each character emitted a brilliant radiance, resisting the Great Dao Divine Thunder.

After being bombarded by nine bolts of Great Dao Divine Thunder, the three thousand characters in the sky still stood firm.

They exuded a powerful aura, as if proclaiming their existence to the world.

At this moment, the nine bolts of Great Dao Divine Thunder had passed, and the Great Dao had also recognized Cangjie's great achievement, descending endless Great Dao Merit.

One-tenth of the Great Dao Merit flew towards the North Sea Demon Master Palace, falling into the Demon Script Golden Ranking. Seeing the Great Dao Merit, the Demon Master Kunpeng was extremely excited. Great Dao Merit!

In the Human Ancestral Land, the remaining merit flowed towards Cangjie like a clear spring, making him feel incredibly comfortable and joyful.

Su Mu had told Cangjie not to use merit to improve his cultivation, so Cangjie stored all the merit within the first character, 'Wen'.

At this moment, Cangjie finally understood the true power of characters.

He understood that characters were not just a tool for recording information, but a power that could communicate with heaven and earth and control destiny.

Through characters, he could create worlds, change history, and influence all living beings.

The Demon Master Kunpeng had only created the demon script for the Demon Race, while the characters created by Cangjie were applicable to the Myriad Races of Primordial World.

Therefore, both the Human Race and the Myriad Races of Primordial World revered Cangjie as the 'Ancestor of Culture'.
