"Twelve races, twelve Grand Luo Golden Immortal Mid-stage experts?"

"What exactly is the Human Emperor trying to do with this move?"

"The human race is surely taking advantage of their momentum from defeating Demon Emperor Dijun to show off their power."

"Pfft, show off their power?"

"If it were your race that defeated Demon Emperor Dijun, you'd probably brag about it for hundreds of yuan hui."

"You talk as if you're human yourself, so proud and boastful?"

"At the very least, I am a Grand Luo Golden Immortal Late-stage expert; it wouldn't be impossible for me to become a vassal of the human race."

Watching the patriarchs of the twelve races kneel on one knee and shout respectfully toward Huang Tian.

This scene stunned the Great Divine Powers of the myriad races, sparking endless discussion.

No one dared to underestimate the human race anymore.

Capable of forcing back Demon Emperor Dijun, the human race clearly possessed the foundation to stand on equal footing with the Witch and Demon Clans.

Regardless of how the Great Divine Powers of the myriad races calculated, the Shore of the East Sea was enveloped in overwhelming, brilliant golden light.

That was the infinite Human Race Destiny, vast as the oceans of heaven and earth.

The patriarchs of the twelve races felt a connection, their lifeblood surging to the heavens as they each revealed their true forms.

"I, the Human Emperor, Huang Tian!"

"Today, I proclaim to heaven and earth: I establish the Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig as the Twelve Zodiacs of my human race!"

"The twelve races shall be connected to the destiny of my human race for all generations to come."

"When one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, all suffer!"

With eyes like torches, Huang Tian stood amidst the golden light, the aura of an emperor surging around him as he shouted, proclaiming his decree to heaven and earth.

"Rumble!"

Nine Sounds of Heavenly Thunder echoed—the heavens and earth had acknowledged Huang Tian's proclamation.

In an instant, exotic flowers fell from the sky, and golden lotuses surged from the ground, manifesting countless auspicious signs.

"Boom!"

Huang Tian's lifeblood surged, connecting heaven and earth, transforming into a pillar of light that shot straight into the clouds.

His aura climbed continuously, and the Imperial Dao Laws surrounding him became increasingly profound.

In a mere moment, Huang Tian successfully advanced, stepping into the Martial Saint (Quasi-Saint) Mid-stage.

At the same time, his tens of thousands of zhang tall Martial Dao Dharma Image continued to expand after his breakthrough, finally reaching a height of one hundred thousand zhang.

Huang Tian's Martial Dao Dharma Image stood between heaven and earth, its pressure sweeping across the Prehistoric World, forcing all living beings to bow in submission.

"Hum!"

The void trembled violently, and the golden light suddenly burst forth.

From the center of Huang Tian's brow, a primitive and heavy seal flew out.

The Kongtong Seal expanded in the wind, hovering above the Shore of the East Sea, pouring down endless Human Race Destiny.

Under the blessing of this destiny, the experts of the human race broke through en masse.

Taibai broke through to the Martial Saint (Quasi-Saint) Early Stage, while the auras of Sui Ren Shi, Zi Yi Shi, and You Chao Shi grew increasingly heavy, only half a step away from attaining the Martial Saint (Quasi-Saint) realm.

The twelve races established as the Twelve Zodiacs of the human race also gained immense benefits.

The billions of beings within their tribes could all share in the Human Race Destiny.

In an instant, the twelve races broke through collectively, their momentum shaking the heavens and earth.

Originally, within the twelve races, only the patriarchs and a small number of elders were Grand Luo Golden Immortals.

But in the blink of an eye, each of the twelve races gained over a hundred Martial Emperors (Grand Luo Golden Immortals).

As for the beings who broke through to the Immortal Realm (Primordial Unity Golden Immortal), they were too numerous to count.

"The human race really knows how to find a new path!"

"Knowing they are a post-celestial race with insufficient time to develop, they take other races as vassals."

"Borrowing the strength of other races to accelerate their own growth—what a scheme!"

"Even so, it's only a few hundred or thousand more Grand Luo Golden Immortals; their peak combat power is still insufficient."

"Look! The Human Emperor hasn't stopped yet!"

"What else is he going to do? What else can he do?"

The beings of the myriad races could not help but exclaim in shock.

"I, the Human Emperor, Huang Tian, perceive that heaven and earth are incomplete, and the sequence of time is unclear!"

"Today, I use the Twelve Zodiacs of the human race to establish the Twelve Time Periods of heaven and earth!"

"Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai, the Twelve Time Periods, cycling in endless repetition!"

"Defining the temporal order of heaven and earth, distinguishing the alternation of day and night, and safeguarding the order of the Prehistoric World!"

Under the incredulous gazes of endless living beings, Huang Tian stood atop his hundred-trillion-zhang Martial Dao Dharma Image and shouted aloud.

"Rumble!"

Heavenly thunder resounded nine more times; heaven and earth had acknowledged Huang Tian's proclamation.

Endless seven-colored rosy clouds descended from the firmament, enveloping the patriarchs of the twelve clans.

The patriarchs of the twelve clans felt a sudden enlightenment and shouted in succession, their voices shaking the heavens and the earth.

"I, Zi Shu, take my place!"

"I, Chou Niu, take my place!"

"I, Yin Hu, take my place!"

"I, Mao Tu, take my place!"

"I, Chen Long, I, Si She, I, Wu Ma, I, Wei Yang, I, Shen Hou, I, You Ji, I, Xu Quan, I, Hai Zhu, take our places!"

Twelve thunderous shouts echoed through the clouds.

In an instant, thick thunderclouds spread across the heavens, shrouding the entire Shore of the East Sea.

Within the thunderclouds, a massive vertical pupil emerged, spanning the space between heaven and earth.

No matter where they were in the Prehistoric World, every living being who looked at that massive pupil felt as if it were right before their eyes, mere inches away.

Around the vertical pupil, mysterious Dao rhymes swirled, and the majestic aura of the Great Dao diffused, suppressing all living things.

A ball of light radiating nine-colored brilliance appeared before the vertical pupil, wreathed in mysterious and obscure Dao rhymes.

The next moment, the nine-colored light ball suddenly burst, transforming into a sky full of nine-colored light rain that scattered across heaven and earth, spreading to every corner of the Prehistoric World.

Endless Prehistoric beings all felt a sudden stirring in their hearts.

In their minds, the division of the twelve time periods—Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, and so on—appeared automatically.

From this day forward, as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, the Prehistoric World shall be ordered by the twelve time periods.

Day and night shall alternate, and the temporal sequence shall be clear.

"Rumble!"

Heaven and earth roared once more. Above the firmament, endless acquired Mysterious Yellow Qi slowly gathered, eventually forming a massive Merit Golden Cloud.

The Merit Golden Cloud divided, and one-third of the golden light of merit descended toward Huang Tian.

Huang Tian did not refine it himself; instead, he flicked his sleeve, guiding this portion of the golden light of merit toward Taibai.

Taibai was enveloped by the golden light of merit, and his aura surged once again.

Borrowing this majestic Heavenly Dao merit, he broke through all the way, and Taibai directly reached the late stage of the Martial Saint (Quasi-Saint) realm.

The remaining two-thirds of the golden light of merit were divided equally among the patriarchs of the twelve clans.

The twelve patriarchs all experienced a surge in aura, breaking through collectively.

From the mid-stage of the Grand Luo Golden Immortal, they attained the early stage of the Martial Dao Martial Saint (Quasi-Saint).

In an instant, the top-tier combat power of the Human Race skyrocketed.

Fourteen Martial Saints (Quasi-Saints), nine late-stage Martial Emperors (Grand Luo), and tens of thousands at the Martial Emperor realm.

The overall combat power of the Human Race was now on par with the Witch and Demon Clans.

"Is this the race created by a Saint?"

"The Human Race is simply the child of the Heavenly Dao, bestowed with merit as if it were worthless!"

"Fourteen Quasi-Saints and nine late-stage Grand Luos—the Witch and Demon Clans can no longer suppress the rise of the Human Race."

"The Prehistoric World has changed!!"

"Heavens, it's not over yet?!"

"Evolving spirit treasures with merit? How extravagant!!"

Amidst the exclamations of the myriad beings, the God-Slaying Spear in Taibai's hand was shrouded in merit, evolving into a top-grade innate merit spirit treasure.

The spirit treasures in the hands of the twelve zodiac patriarchs were also shrouded in merit, evolving into high-grade innate merit spirit treasures.

"We pay homage to the supreme Human Emperor!"

Without hesitation, Taibai and the twelve zodiac patriarchs knelt on one knee before Huang Tian, shouting respectfully.

The shouts shook the heavens and earth, merging with the cheers of the Human Race across the Prehistoric World.

Wisps of faith rose into the sky, and the Kongtong Seal at the center of Huang Tian's brow floated up of its own accord, shedding endless golden light.

The collective breakthrough of Taibai and the twelve clans drove a massive surge in the Human Race Destiny.

Even the Human Dao began to stir.

Infinite power of faith gathered toward the Kongtong Seal, entwining around it and transforming into boundless Human Race Destiny.

The Human Race Destiny descended upon Huang Tian, causing his aura to surge violently.

The overwhelming smoke of blood and energy filled the sky, suppressing all living beings between heaven and earth.

Huang Tian's Martial Dao Dharma Image expanded further, growing from one hundred trillion zhang to one hundred and ten trillion zhang.

By borrowing this power of destiny and faith, Huang Tian successfully broke through to the late stage of the Martial Saint (Quasi saint).

A violent aura swept outward, leaving the myriad races terrified.

"We pay homage to the supreme Human Emperor!"

Not daring to show the slightest hesitation, the patriarchs of the myriad races took the lead, and countless beings bowed toward Huang Tian.

Nodding slightly, Huang Tian remained within the golden light, his figure obscured from view.

Having finished everything, Huang Tian returned to the Human Ancestral Hall.
