Fuxi, the Forefather of Human Civilization

The issuance of the Donghua Heavenly Decree instantly ignited the entire Phoenix Clan and the Southern Continent, with everyone turning their heads to await Yuanfeng's reaction.

Although the incident occurred in the southern continent, it spread throughout the entire Primordial Wilderness in an instant, and many Great Powers were wondering what Donghua meant by this move.

Is this simply punishing Yuanfeng, or is it making an example of him to warn other forces involved in the struggle for humanity, so they can consider who truly reigns supreme in the Primordial Wilderness?

If Donghua knew what these people were thinking, he would definitely laugh. Kill the chicken to scare the monkey? Yuanfeng is not a chicken, and they are not monkeys. If he really wanted to intervene in their struggle, he could just take action directly without any hesitation.

It's understandable that these people have such thoughts. Donghua's current status and strength are quite extraordinary. After all, even the Three Pure Ones and the Western Two Saints combined were defeated by Donghua. Who else in the Primordial Wilderness could stop Donghua?

Meanwhile, inside the Volcano of Immortality, as the imperial decree descended, Yuanfeng and Kong Xuan both fell silent, and even Taiyuan felt a little embarrassed.

After all, Yuanfeng's status is too special. He was once the overlord of heaven and earth, and his strength had already reached the Peak Quasi-Saint during the ancient times. Now he is guarding the Volcano of Immortality for the entire Primordial Wilderness.

After a moment of silence, Kong Xuan said, "I'm going to find the Great Heavenly Venerate!"

In Kong Xuan's view, the severity of the punishment was not important; what mattered was the punishment itself. If the whipping and lightning punishment were actually carried out, Yuanfeng would truly lose face.

However, Yuanfeng appeared quite calm, as if the punishment wasn't directed at her. She simply smiled slightly, then turned to Kong Xuan and said:

"I've taught you so many times: stay calm in the face of adversity, don't panic, don't act impulsively, think twice before you act, why can't you do even this one thing?"

Yuanfeng understood perfectly well that Donghua's punishment was actually the punishment of Heavenly Dao. If Donghua did not punish her, the punishment of Heavenly Dao would surely come, and she would still be subject to the lightning tribulation.

The divine punishment brought down by Heavenly Dao itself would certainly be more severe than what Donghua would do, and he himself might even be in danger of perishing under the Heavenly Dao Divine Thunder.

After all, in the eyes of Heavenly Dao, only her true body is needed to guard the Volcano of Immortality; her own primordial spirit and consciousness are dispensable.

Now that Donghua is acting on behalf of Tian, the punishment will definitely be within his acceptable range, so this is helping her.

What she has to give up is her dignity, or rather, she doesn't have to give anything at all; she only needs to accept the punishment and uphold Donghua's divine authority.

Punishing a Peak Quasi-Saint, who was also a former overlord of the Primordial Wilderness, would bring far greater prestige than killing a Peak Quasi-Saint. Most importantly, it would maximize the Heavenly Emperor's authority.

This move was Primordial Wilderness!

Kong Xuan was extremely anxious, but Yuanfeng remained calm, gazing at the Heavenly Decree floating in the air and the powerful Heavenly Dao Power it contained. After a moment of contemplation, she said:

"Yuanfeng accepts the decree and is willing to accept punishment!"

As soon as Yuanfeng finished speaking, the imperial edict written by Donghua instantly transformed into the Heavenly Dao Power, and then manifested as boundless divine power of thunder. The fiery red volcano was instantly covered with dense thunder.

As lightning shone, a figure gradually emerged above the volcano—it was the Heavenly Emperor Dharma Form of Donghua.

His expression was solemn, his divine eyes devoid of any emotion. With a casual flick of his finger, Yuanfeng's primordial spirit was instantly immobilized, and then his true form, which guarded the volcano, was also drawn down.

The primordial spirit and the true body instantly merged, and a powerful force erupted from the volcano, progressing from early Quasi-Saint- Mid Quasi-Saint- Late Stage Quasi-Saint to Peak Quasi-Saint.

Breakthrough to Quasi-Saint!

The sound of the phoenix's cry resounded throughout heaven and earth; at this moment, the Yuanfeng returned!

The powerful phoenix stood atop the volcano, and then manifested between heaven and earth.

All the Great Powers in the Primordial Wilderness turned their gazes toward this place.

"Donghua released Yuanfeng?"

"Yuanfeng has been born?"

"..."

Taishang looked at the southern volcano with his bright eyes, pondered for a moment, then closed his eyes and began to immerse himself in the Great Dao.

Don't even mention that Yuanfeng isn't ready to be born yet; even if he were, it wouldn't attract much of his attention. He's just a failed emperor, not worth mentioning!

He is now focused entirely on clearing the way, hoping to defeat Donghua in the next confrontation and restore the dignity of the Three Pure Ones. Nothing else matters.

Yuanshi and Tongtian shared the same idea. As for the two in the Western Region, they had no time to interfere in the affairs of the East, let alone dare to interfere in the affairs of Donghua. They wished they could stay far away from Donghua.

Ever since the last Chaos Battle, Zhunti and Jieyin have felt a sense of unease whenever they see Donghua, because Donghua is truly ruthless, and their Western Region estate simply cannot withstand such turmoil.

As for the other Great Powers, they could only watch helplessly; who would dare to interfere?

Inside the volcano, the moment Yuanfeng broke through to the Peak Quasi-Saint, Donghua's Heavenly Emperor Dharma Form moved, striking down with a palm and directly suppressing Yuanfeng in mid-air.

Yuanfeng's powerful aura vanished instantly, as if what had just happened had never existed.

Because under Donghua's palm strike, Yuanfeng was as powerless as an ordinary chick.

And that was indeed the case. Yuanfeng originally wanted to test Donghua's strength, but when that palm struck down, she felt as if the sky had collapsed. She couldn't mobilize any of her Great Dao Power and could only watch helplessly as she was suppressed!

This is normal, though. Donghua is already at the Hunyuan Fourth Heaven Realm, not to mention the Heavenly Emperor Dharma Form and the Heavenly Emperor's Position, which allow him to mobilize the Heavenly Dao Power. His strength has long surpassed the Fourth Heaven.

As Yuanfeng was suppressed, the Heavenly Emperor Dharma Form began to move, and the Luck Power condensed into a long whip.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

"..."

The whip lashed down on Yuanfeng again and again, leaving marks on her body with the Great Dao Power Yuanfeng. Each lash passed through her true form, striking her primordial spirit and the Great Dao itself.

After the whipping punishment ended, came the thunder punishment. Endless divine lightning struck Yuanfeng, and instantly a barbecue smell appeared. Her fiery red true form turned completely black.

As the lightning punishment ended, Donghua pointed a finger, separating Yuanfeng's true body and primordial spirit once again, with the true body guarding the volcano.

"Do you harbor any resentment?"

Yuanfeng's weakened spirit recovered slightly, and she stood up, saying, "I should be the one thanking the Great Heavenly Venerate!"

After Donghua hummed in agreement, he didn't say much more about the matter. Instead, he said, "A major event is about to happen in the entire Primordial Wilderness. You may be able to use this opportunity to escape. From now on, you can focus on cultivating the Great Dao in the volcano and not interfere in the affairs of the Phoenix Clan."

"If you commit this offense again, I will personally annihilate you, body and soul."

Some things can only be done once, not twice!

Upon hearing Donghua's words, Yuanfeng's eyes flickered. She had thought she would stay in the volcano for the rest of her life until the Immeasurable Calamity descended and her opportunity arrived. Unexpectedly, things had taken a different turn.

Yuanfeng was about to ask what had happened, but Donghua's figure had already disappeared into the volcano.

"Mother!" Kong Xuan stepped forward and grabbed Yuanfeng's hand with one hand, instantly transmitting his Primordial Spirit Power to her.

However, Yuanfeng didn't pay attention to this action; instead, she stared blankly at Kong Xuan.

This was the first time Kong Xuan had called him "mother"!

Time flies like an arrow!

After Fuxi became the clan leader, the Huaxu Tribe began to vigorously reform according to his own ideas, mainly in the ordinary lives of mortals, inventing many tools and formulating many rules.

But what the immortals considered trivial matters were actually a sign of progress in civilization.

To understand the state of a world, we must not only look at the top, but also at the lives of the creatures at the bottom.

For example, there are eight Primordial Hun Yuan in the current Primordial Wilderness, but if the ordinary beings at the bottom are still starving and poorly clothed, then the civilization of this world is flawed, and no amount of Primordial Hun Yuan can cover up the backwardness of this world.

The appearance of Fuxi brought new civilization and ideas to the Huaxu Tribe and the entire human race. It can be said that Fuxi was liberating human minds, freeing them from fixed thinking, and allowing everyone to have their own ideas.

This sounds convoluted. Does it mean that even without Fuxi, these mortals wouldn't have their own thoughts?

In fact, there isn't one!

Or perhaps these ordinary people have thought about these things but dare not speak them aloud, because the ideas they are exposed to do not allow them to express them. And what kind of ideas can't be spoken of? Are they still ideas?

Fuxi solved this problem from the very beginning; he seriously put forward a slogan:

"Under the vast sky, all beings are equal!"

Wei is Donghua, the Heavenly Emperor!

This slogan immediately caused a great stir in the Huaxu Tribe, as it was completely different from the ideas they had been exposed to before.

The strong rule, the weak are preyed upon!

This is the true nature of the Primordial Wilderness world!

Fuxi's slogans seemed so pale and laughable in the Primordial Wilderness and in the hearts of the people. Immortals and Gods were born superior to humans, so how could they, mortals, possibly be equal to them?

But faced with all the doubts, Fuxi explained, "Human will can conquer nature. If a person believes in their heart that they are inferior to others, then they will always be inferior."

"The equality of all beings does not mean you should not respect the strong, but rather that you should emulate them, emulate everyone who is stronger than you, learn from their ways, become like them, and surpass them!"

Fuxi's words were simple, but in this relatively underdeveloped human race, in this human race that had not yet formed its own ideology, they were so powerful and moving.

From that moment on, no one dared to mock Fuxi anymore.

And Fuxi was gradually bringing new ideas to the human race, bringing new vitality, or rather, civilization and spirit to the entire human race!

These civilizations and spirits gradually spread from the Huaxu Tribe until they reached the entire human race.

From this time onward, the name Fuxi spread throughout the human race, not because of his status as a Great God, but because of his status as the human Fuxi.

Many great sages and young people of the human race traveled from hundreds of millions of miles to visit Fuxi in the Huaxu Tribe and discuss the Dao with each other. Among them were also some sages and young people from all races.

The clash of ideas always sparks new inspiration, and the spirit and civilization of humankind are gradually taking shape.

Meanwhile, Donghua and Nuwa, who were deep in the Qishan, witnessed this scene and knew that the real battle for humanity was about to begin, because Fuxi had basically acquired the spirit and responsibility that a Human Emperor should have.

Looking at Fuxi, who was preaching to the people on the high platform in the tribe, Donghua couldn't help but admire him, saying in his heart, "Fuxi truly deserves the name of the progenitor of humanity!"

Of the Three Sovereigns, why did Fuxi achieve the greatest success?

This is not only because of his identity and background, but more importantly, because he truly achieved a breakthrough for humanity, taking it from zero to one.

If humanity, as the masters of humankind, lacks its own spirit and civilization, how can it be worthy of the title of masters of humankind and Protagonist of Heaven and Earth?

What Fuxi is doing now, and what the human race is experiencing, are conditions that neither the Innate Three Races nor the Witch and Demon Races possessed in the past.

Born strong, how could they possibly think about these things? They only believe in the survival of the fittest and the law of the jungle.

While there's nothing wrong with this, it's neither the choice of Heavenly Dao nor the choice of Donghua!

Fuxi's Preaching the Dao continued, and as time passed, this flourishing phenomenon not only did not end, but intensified. Even some human Grand Unity Grand Unity, upon meeting Fuxi, were willing to address him as their teacher or the sage Fuxi.

Because the human race began to accept Fuxi's ideas and spirit.

Humanity has also entered a period of rapid transformation!

Perhaps before long, a brand new human race will appear before all living beings.

While Fuxi Preaching the Dao, his cultivation did not stagnate. Every now and then, he would come to Qishan to find Donghua and Nuwa and ask them about various things.

Donghua and Nuwa were also generous in sharing their knowledge. The three of them discussed and explored the Dao with each other, especially in the cultivation of the Great Dao. The two of them only taught Fuxi Dao, not the methods.

In terms of cultivation, in addition to the Great Dao of Taiqing and the Great Dao of Golden Elixir taught by Xuandu, Donghua also passed on the Dao of Human Immortal to Fuxi.

Fuxi was the one who had mastered the Way of the Immortals. In his Previous Life, he had already developed this Way to the level of Quasi-Saint, but he was unable to attain enlightenment.

Therefore, Donghua believes that Fuxi's Dao is not only in the human race, but also on the path of the human immortal. If Fuxi can completely perfect the path of the human immortal in this life, then the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos will truly advance together.

Or perhaps the path of the Human Immortals will surpass that of the Earth Immortals, because Zhen Yuanzi is currently only at the Late Stage Quasi-Saint, still hovering just before the peak.

Although Zhen Yuanzi is only missing a thin layer of paper, he is still nothing until you break through it.

Post-production is post-production!

The peak is the peak!

Therefore, if Fuxi were to prove himself, he might actually surpass Zhen Yuanzi, allowing the paths of human immortals and celestial immortals to be on par.

However, this is still too far for Fuxi at present. Right now, he only knows how to study the Eight Trigrams and wants to innovate on the Eight Trigrams Great Dao, to deduce the Eight Trigrams that are suitable for the human race and for mortals.

With the Book of Changes and the original Eight Trigrams Great Dao given to him by Donghua, plus the Top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure River Diagram and Luo Book, Fuxi's mastery of the Eight Trigrams Great Dao advanced by leaps and bounds.

As Fuxi's teacher, Xuandu entrusted Fuxi with the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Taiji Diagram, to help him comprehend the Fuxi.

This set of equipment is absolutely luxurious!

Let alone Fuxi, even a pig Jidu glean something from this situation!
