The Heavenly Sovereign left the Heaven Realm and returned to the human race. Regarding the matter of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, he only discussed it with the Suiren Clan and two others. Apart from that, he did not tell anyone else. The fewer people who knew about this matter, the better.

"Your Majesty, does the emperor of our human race need someone else to be the ruler? What kind of logic is this? I refuse to accept it!" Suiren Clan said angrily, unable to understand this matter at all.

Zhi Shengshi also spoke up, saying, "Yes, Your Majesty, what are the Saint Mother and the teacher thinking? With so many people in our human race, aren't we capable of producing Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors? Why must we let outsiders take the throne?"

The Heavenly Sovereign shook his head helplessly and said, "This is already the best outcome. The Saint Mother and the Teacher are devoted to the human race, but there are Five Saints. Nothing can be done according to the wishes of the Saint Mother and the Teacher."

"Besides, since Fuxi and Hong Yun want to become the Human Emperor, they must be in human form. After their reincarnation, they can only be human, so you shouldn't think too much about it."

Suiren Clan and the others sighed. Although they said that, they were still very unwilling to accept this outcome.

However, it's worth it if it can make the human race the Protagonist of Heaven and Earth. If the human race has a Hun Yuan, it won't become prey for many Great Powers beings.

The Heavenly Sovereign said, "Alright, this matter is settled. After Senior Fuxi and Senior Hong Yun are reincarnated as humans, you must treat them as true emperors of the human race. Treat them with sincerity, and no matter what their current status is, they will only be emperors of the human race in the future."

"I'm entrusting this matter to the three of you. If I want to become the last Human Emperor, I need to reincarnate once more; otherwise, the Human Dao Destiny and Fortune and merit I gain will be extremely meager."

After the Heavenly Sovereign finished speaking, he looked at the Earth Sovereign beside him and said, "Second Sister, after my reincarnation, I entrust the human race to you. You must not let the human race go astray. The Primordial Wilderness today is no longer the Primordial Wilderness of the past. With the Heavenly Emperor and the Six Sages here, no one can stir up any waves. Remember this well!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The group agreed. They were well aware of the current situation in the Primordial Wilderness. The human race could only become the Protagonist of Heaven and Earth and could not take another step forward. They could not achieve the accomplishments of the Innate Three Races and the Witch and Demon Races, otherwise they would face the calamity of extinction.

Having settled everything, the Heavenly Sovereign exuded an aura of power and said with a sharp gaze, "Now that everything is settled, it's time for my human race to show its teeth. Anyone who dares to bully us again will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes!"

The human race has been dormant for a long time, secretly developing its strength. It is indeed time to show its power, otherwise the other races will continue to treat it like a pushover.

As the Heavenly Sovereign issued his order, the human armies of all sides were quickly mobilized. Led by the Grand Unity and Grand Unity of the human race, the armies swiftly occupied various immortal cities, famous mountains, and rivers.

At the same time, all races also sprang into action, emerging from various heavens and remote corners of the Primordial Wilderness world to seize territory in the Primordial Wilderness.

The return of the Five Saints to their positions and the banquet in Heavenly Court seemed to be a guiding light. All races were no longer as timid as before, because they knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and regardless of winning or losing, they would fight for it.

The battle for humanity has begun!

A grand and epic war between all races is about to begin!

Ever since the Three Pure Ones and others established their religion and became Attain Sainthood, Minghe's heart could no longer be contained.

Within the Netherworld Blood Sea, Minghe sat atop Twelve Grades Karma Red Lotus, below whom were the Asura Race listening to the Dao, their cultivation levels ranging from Grand Unity to below the Immortal Dao.

"... At this point, all paths are within the path of killing. Yin Yang and Five Elements, cause and effect, even creation and life and death can be killed!"

"Use the Way of Slaughter to achieve the Great Way, use the Way of Slaughter to create all things, and even the cycle of life and death!"

Just as Minghe finished his sermon, a gray avenue descended, forming a large red hole behind Minghe.

Within the Red Cave, all things manifest, and the cycle of heavens continues!

The Minghe comprehended the Reincarnation Law on its own!

"So this is the Reincarnation Great Dao that Houtu comprehended; it is truly wondrous!"

As Minghe comprehended the Reincarnation Great Dao, he also understood why Houtu had come to the Blood Sea last time.

Because the Blood Sea is part of the Netherworld Earth Realm, and can be considered the true entrance to the Netherworld Earth Realm.

After understanding all this, Minghe frowned. If he continued to cultivate the Reincarnation Great Dao, he would be in conflict with Houtu.

However, Houtu had already comprehended the Reincarnation Great Dao for tens of millions of years, which was beyond his reach.

However, he, Minghe, is indeed qualified to contend for power in the Netherworld Earth Realm, and even become its master.

All of this was predicated on the fall of Houtu!

Thinking of this, Minghe gave a bitter smile. Last time, he had fought a great battle with Houtu, and he was no match for her at all.

The power that the Blood Sea bestowed upon him was insignificant compared to Houtu's. In fact, Houtu could also mobilize the power of the Blood Sea. With the two combined, the power that Houtu could draw upon far exceeded his.

Apart from that, they can only rely on their own Great Dao Power to compete.

However, Houtu had already broken through to the Peak Quasi-Saint for countless years, while he was only at the Late Stage Quasi-Saint. How could he possibly defeat her?

Thinking of this, Minghe's eyes gradually turned cold, and a powerful killing intent condensed in the Blood Sea, instantly causing countless remnant souls to vanish into thin air.

"Regardless of victory or defeat, we must always fight for it. Now that the tide of humanity has turned, the struggle for humanity is about to begin. How far away is the tunnel?"

"This is our last chance! As the patriarch who cultivates the Slaughter Great Dao, how can I retreat!"

Minghe's eyes were filled with determination. Having witnessed the strength of Donghua and the Six Saints, he was not content with his current strength. If he were only Quasi-Saint, there would be no place for people like them in the future Primordial Wilderness.

All that's left for them is this small plot of land. Then, when the Immeasurable Calamity arrives, either the world will be reborn, and their chance will come again, or the world will be destroyed, and they will remain in the chaos and small worlds, eventually being assimilated by the Great Dao.

This outcome was definitely not what Minghe wanted to see, nor was he willing to accept this ending.

"I've been afraid of death my whole life, and today I've only managed to get a mediocre position. But this time I'm not afraid anymore. If I can't win, I'll return to the Great Dao and start over!"

Thinking this, Minghe looked at the Asura Race below and said, "The Preaching the Dao is over. After you go down, you must cultivate diligently. The struggle for humanity is about to begin, and how can we Asura Race miss it!"

"Yes, Ancestor! We will surely let the light of the Asura Race shine throughout the Primordial World, so that the world may understand the power of the Asura Race!"

Minghe laughed heartily. He had never questioned the Asura' warlike, courageous, and capable nature. The Asura Race possessed both the warlike spirit of the Witch Clan and the wisdom of the Demon Clan, and were proficient in all kinds of supernatural powers and magic.

He believed that none of the Myriad Races of the Primordial World could defeat the Asura Race, so he was full of confidence in this struggle for humanity.

Minghe rose from the red lotus, his feet planted firmly on it, standing tall above the Blood Sea, the Great Dao surging around him, carrying the Abyssal Demon Sword and the Abi Yuantu Sword on his back!

The next moment, Minghe took out a black flag, which was the Asura Race's most precious treasure, called the Asura Flag!

The Minghe waved the Asura Banner, Asura Race's fortune bloomed, floating above the Blood Sea and surrounding him.

The experiences of spreading the Great Dao over three thousand years emerged one by one, with immense fortune and educational power filling the Sky Vault.

"By the Heavenly Dao, my mission of teaching and enlightening has now been accomplished. Based on the Minghe Asura Race, I establish the Asura Sect to educate the world and save all sentient beings. I will use the Twelve Grades Karma Red Lotus to suppress the destiny of the cult, as its treasure. I hope the Heavenly Dao will bear witness!"

As soon as the words fell, all the Great Powers in the Primordial Wilderness sensed it and turned their gazes to the Blood Sea.

"Does the Minghe also need to establish a religion and prove its doctrine?"

This is a question on everyone's mind in the Primordial Wilderness. Last time, when Minghe imitated Nuwa to create the Asura Race, he only gained some merit and did not step into the Hunyuan Realm.

Will Minghe succeed in imitating the Five Saints in establishing a religion this time?

Everyone was focused on whether Minghe would succeed, but no one mocked Minghe. The path to enlightenment was incredibly arduous, yet Minghe dared to do it and succeeded.

So what right do they have to mock the Minghe? In the presence of the Minghe, they are the ones who are subservient and obsequious.

As for whether the Minghe can attain enlightenment, only Heaven knows!

High above, thunder roared, and the Heavenly Dao Power permeated the air, eventually forming the Heavenly Dao Eye, which shone upon the Netherworld Blood Sea and the Minghe's body.

The teachings of the Minghe were not heartfelt, but they were genuinely practiced and performed well, so the Heavenly Dao naturally responded.

Judge by actions, not intentions; no one is perfect when it comes to intentions!

Regardless of Minghe's purpose, as long as he does well, Heavenly Dao will naturally reward him.

The Heavenly Dao Eye has always been shining upon the Netherworld Blood Sea and the Minghe Styx.

Minghe felt as if all his secrets had been exposed to the Heavenly Dao Eye, and he was completely naked. This feeling was very uncomfortable, but it was a necessary tribulation; otherwise, how could he gain merit?

The Heavenly Dao Eye appeared quickly and disappeared just as fast; after a brief burst of light, Heavenly Dao Eye vanished from the Blood Sea.

Minghe took a deep breath and looked up at the heavens.

Above the nine heavens, as the Heavenly Dao Eye disappeared, a vast expanse of Mysterious Yellow Merit clouds formed, illuminating the Blood Sea.

Upon witnessing this scene, Minghe was overjoyed. These merits were far less than those of the Three Pure Ones and others who established their religion, but they were enough for him to break through to the peak realm.

That's enough, after all, the Three Pure Ones and others Preaching the Dao throughout the entire Primordial Wilderness Preaching the Dao to all races, something he simply cannot compare to.

Minghe had considered leaving the Blood Sea to Preaching the Dao in the Primordial Wilderness, but he dared not. Doing so would be to steal the fortune and merit of the Three Pure Ones and Jieyin and Zhunti and Zhunti, which would be competing with them for the Dao.

This is something the Five Saints cannot tolerate, so if he dares to do it, they will send him to meet the Great Dao, since he doesn't have a master like Hongjun.

Moreover, he never imagined that he could bypass the peak and directly attain enlightenment, which was simply impossible. Therefore, he was already very satisfied with the merit he had achieved.

Above the nine heavens, the Mysterious Yellow Merit Cloud was divided into three parts. One part fell upon the Asura Race, one part fell upon the Karma Red Lotus, and eight parts fell upon the Minghe.

Minghe quickly accepted the merit and circulated the Great Dao throughout his body. With the Great Slaughter Great Dao as the main one, the other Great Daos circulated rapidly, Good and Evil Two Corpses emerged, carrying Minghe's immortal and demonic paths.

The Merit Power transformed into pure Great Dao Power, circulating within the Minghe's Minghe and driving its own Dao. The Quasi-Saint's might pressed down on the Sky Vault.

"Boom!"

A resounding Dao echoed between heaven and earth, covering the Blood Sea for billions of miles, and then spreading to the surrounding world.

Minghe has successfully broken through to the Peak Quasi-Saint!

This step seemed simple, but it exhausted all of Minghe's reserves. However, it also successfully put him ahead of Zhen Yuanzi, Hong Yun, Fuxi, and others, making him the first-class person below Donghua and the Six Saints, and the highest peak of the Quasi-Saint realm.

"Hahaha..."

The Minghe's raging laughter echoed between heaven and earth, filled with ecstasy. But as it laughed, a tear unconsciously fell from its Minghe, a tear filled with heartache.

The Minghe slowly wiped away the tear it had shed, nurturing it with its own meager Creation Great Dao.

"After you are born, you will be the child of the Ancestor!"

All living beings in the Primordial Wilderness world fell silent upon seeing this. Although Minghe had not broken through to the Hunyuan Realm, he had successfully reached the peak of the realm.

What is the peak?

That is, the highest level Below Hunyuan, and also the First Realm closest to Hun Yuan.

As for the realm after breaking through to Quasi-Saint, which Donghua calls the realm of Sub-Saint, this First Realm does not actually exist.

Breaking through to Quasi-Saint is the same as Hun Yuan. The only difference is practicing the Great Dao and breaking free from the shackles of the River of Destiny. Otherwise, there is no difference between Hunyuan and Hun Yuan.

However, Donghua chose the name "Second Sage" to distinguish himself from others.

Therefore, Minghe is indeed now at the pinnacle of the Primordial Wilderness, but only if Donghua and the Six Sages do not intervene.

Because in the eyes of Donghua and the Six Sages, the Minghe had only evolved from a small ant into a slightly larger one; apart from that, there was no difference.

In the Heaven Realm, Donghua watched as Minghe broke through to the Peak Quasi-Saint and thought for a moment before saying:

"Great Commander of Fate, on behalf of the Heavenly Court, prepare a congratulatory gift to be sent to the Blood Sea. You should go there in person, which will also give you a chance to experience the Dao of the Minghe. The Slaughter Great Dao, the Reincarnation Great Dao, and your Life and Death Great Dao are all similar in principle. I hope you can find a new path and break through to the next realm as soon as possible!"

Donghua has already given Great Commander of Fate private lessons several times, which means he has taught her the Dao in private, but this is still not enough for Great Commander of Fate to break through to the next level, unless Great Commander of Fate stops cultivating her own Dao and cultivates according to Donghua's Dao.

In this way, the Great Commander of Fate can break through to the next realm quickly, but that's the limit of his potential; he'll only ever be a Late Stage Quasi-Saint.

The Great Commander of Fate said with shame, "Great Heavenly Venerate, I have failed your expectations!"

Donghua smiled dismissively and said, "I've told you so many times, call me elder brother in private. I've watched you and Tai Hua grow up, so how can you say I've let you down? Just focus on being the Great Emperor Qinghua, cultivate diligently, and don't overthink it!"

The Great Commander of Fate nodded. He was a man of few words, and calmly said, "Don't worry, brother, I won't let you down. I will make the position of the Six Imperial Sovereigns truly deserved!"

He knew that even if his cultivation level wasn't high enough, Donghua would still make him one of the Six Emperors. Although others might not dare to say anything on the surface, they would definitely say in private that Donghua was being unfair.

After all, the Heavenly Court of today is no longer the Purple Mansion of the past. The Heavenly Court is the Heavenly Court of all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness, the Heavenly Court that manages the Primordial Wilderness, while the Purple Mansion is the Purple Mansion of Donghua. There is a huge difference between the two.

He didn't want others to say that Donghua was unfair or that Donghua was too selfish.

"Brother, you go ahead with your work. I'll prepare the congratulatory gift and then head to the Blood Sea!"

Donghua nodded and said, "Go. Once you reach the Blood Sea, don't be afraid of anyone. Behind you is the Heavenly Court, and behind you is me!"

"Yes!"
