Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another period of time has passed. The situation of the struggle between humanity and the Primordial Wilderness world is gradually becoming clear.

In the northern lands, the four great Demon Emperor emerged, reuniting the demon race. The previously fragmented demon race was instantly bound together as one.

No, it should be four strands of rope, because the four Demon Emperor harbored ulterior motives. Although they appeared to be good brothers, they were actually rivals to each other.

Although Kunpeng is the leader of the Demon Emperor, the other three Demon Emperor seem to have united to resist the pressure from Kunpeng.

Regardless, the demon race was unified once again, and the chaotic situation in the north calmed down.

In the Primordial Wilderness Western Region, the Asura Race army marched out of the Blood Sea and occupied half of the Western Land. Subsequently, they entered the northern, southern, and central lands, meaning that the Asura Race could be found on every continent.

However, after conquering these territories, the Asura Race did not govern them properly, but instead engaged in rampant plundering and slaughter.

Minghe personally crafted the Seven Killings Banner and handed it over to the Four Asura Kings. Wherever the Seven Killings Banner went, all races were shocked and terrified.

In the eastern lands, the human race reigns supreme. Their massive population has spread throughout the eastern lands, and apart from famous mountains and rivers and blessed lands, the human race has established cities and tribes everywhere, making them the most powerful force.

In addition, a thousand years ago, the human race finally welcomed its own Quasi-Saint. Earth Sovereign and Suiren Clan successfully broke through and became Quasi-Saint Great Powers, while You Chao Shi and Zhi Shengshi achieved single Quasi-Saint status through the Immortal Dao.

Therefore, the human race had its own four Quasi-Saint, but Fuxi's realm remained at the Taiyi Realm, yet no one dared to disrespect Fuxi.

Because they all knew that once Fuxi broke through to the Grand Unity, he would awaken his Previous Life memories, merge his two lives, and achieve the Peak Quasi-Saint.

Therefore, the human race was not in a hurry at all. On the contrary, they hoped that Fuxi's breakthrough would be slower and that he could stay in this life's identity for a longer time. In this way, Fuxi's mark on the human race would become deeper and deeper.

But regardless, the golden age of humanity has arrived!

Meanwhile, a powerful force has risen in the Southern Continent: an alliance led by the Zerg.

After the Phoenix Clan swept through the south and annihilated the Sky Eagle Clan, the situation in the south became strange again. However, with the Phoenix Clan returning to the Southern Heaven lands, and the decree of the Great Heavenly Venerate Heavenly Emperor issued...

Everyone understood that the Phoenix Clan would no longer intervene, or would not participate in this humanitarian struggle. Therefore, a new force suddenly rose in the Southern Continent: the Insect Clan Alliance formed by the Five Ancient Insects.

The Zerg quickly unified the southern lands, and eventually even marched into the central lands, wanting a share of the spoils.

The term "Zerg" here is a general term, and it does not refer to the insectoid race imagined in later cosmic times, but rather to the five types of insects—the Scaled, Hairy, Feathered, and Insect—from the Primordial Wilderness era.

The concept of the Five Insects originated from the ancient Kunwu Divine Court, where the dragon, phoenix, Qilin, spirit tortoise, and cicada were considered the leaders of the Five Insects.

The "feathered insects" are led by the phoenix;

The "caterpillar" is led by the Qilin;

The insect-like spirit turtle is the leader;

The "scaled creatures" are led by the dragon;

The "Winning Insects" are led by the golden toad.

The Five Insects encompass all Myriad Races of the Primordial World, which is also the foundation of the Kunwu Divine Court's rule over the Primordial Wilderness.

Later, as the Beast Emperor Shen Ni attacked the Divine Court, Kunwu was destroyed, and the Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin Three Clans, and Qilin fled, while the Spirit Turtle and Golden Toad clans were almost wiped out by the Fierce Beasts.

The details of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin Three Clans after that are well-known and need not be elaborated upon.

A Heavenly Pride rose from the Spirit Turtle clan, who is now the Xuanwu Sacred Beast guarding the North Pole. Since then, although the Spirit Turtle clan is not Primordial Wilderness clan in the prehistoric world, with the protection of the Xuanwu Sacred Beast, their good fortune has continued uninterrupted.

However, the Golden Toad clan disappeared without a trace in the Primordial Wilderness world; it is unknown whether they were truly wiped out or simply went into hiding.

However, in this struggle for humanity, the Golden Cicada clan has reappeared.

The so-called insectoid race in the south is a hybrid race established by the Golden Toad Ancestor.

Besides the Golden Toad Ancestor, there are four other Quasi-Saint Great Powers the insect race, namely the five ancient ferocious insects: the Six-winged Golden Cicada, the Hundred-eyed Centipede, the Poison Scorpion, the Nine-headed Worm, Three-legged Golden Toad.

These five ferocious insects were originally Fierce Beasts, but by a twist of fate, they eventually gained sentience, successfully transformed into human form, and attained Quasi-Saint.

"Junior Brother Donghua, what are your thoughts on the current situation in the Primordial Wilderness?"

White Lotus Cave, Donghua was writing furiously at his desk, pausing occasionally to continue writing, and sometimes stopping to think for a while.

Below, above the lotus pond, Nuwa and the West Queen Mother are playing a game of chess, each holding Dao Chess piece.

The West Queen Mother came to Shouyang Mountain not long ago to find Donghua, along with Donghua's daughter Xuan Qiong, Qing Niao, and others.

Donghua put down his pen. In the short time he had left, he planned to combine his own thoughts with the ideas he had developed to open a new chapter in the upcoming debate among a hundred schools of thought, and to pass on his own ideas.

In the Previous Life, a hundred schools of thought contended, but in the end only Daoism, Confucianism, Legalism, and Mohism emerged victorious, while the rest faded into River of Time.

Donghua originally planned to pass on Daoist teachings and establish a Daoist sect. After all, he was a disciple of Hongjun, the head of the Mystic Sect, Head of Male Immortals, so he was rightfully in charge. However, he eventually abandoned this plan.

Even if Daoism is good, it's not his own philosophy. The most important thing is that Donghua is no longer the cautious East King Gong; he no longer needs to seize opportunities from others.

Furthermore, Daoist thought did not align with his own philosophy, which is why he chose to abandon it. After all, at his level, one is one, and two is two; there is no need to conceal anything.

Among the Hundred Schools of Thought, Donghua leans more towards Legalism, but not the Legalism of the Spring and Autumn Period, but the modern "Legalism." The two are combined to form the Legalist school.

This is why Donghua wrote so diligently.

Upon hearing Nuwa's question, Donghua stopped, pondered for a moment, and then said, "The situation regarding the struggle for humanity is becoming increasingly clear. The northern demon race will not get involved, and the various forces will not attack the north."

"Because the North is not only the territory of the demon race, but also the territory of many Great Powers and forces from the ancient and prehistoric eras. No one would choose to take the North. Even when my Purple Mansion unified the world, we did not attack the North."

"So now all that's left are the Asura Race, the Southern Insectoid Alliance, and the Eastern Human race."

At this point, Donghua paused, looked at Nuwa, and said with a smile, "But this time there's going to be a good show. I thought the greatest enemy of the human race was the Asura Race, but I didn't expect that guy, the Golden Toad, to show up. It's really interesting."

Nuwa thought for a moment and said, "I think the greatest enemies of the human race are still the Asura Race and the Minghe."

"The Asura Race was born from the Blood Sea, and they are bloodthirsty by nature. Their combat strength is in no way inferior to that of the demon race back then. In addition, that guy Styx has cultivated the Reincarnation Great Dao Minghe, and he can use the characteristics of the Blood Sea to endlessly resurrect Asura who died in battle, without being punished by the Heavenly Dao. They are truly formidable enemies."

"And then there's that guy Minghe. Although I look down on him, his strength is truly formidable. He specializes in the path of slaughter and is at its peak. He also possesses the Abi Yuantu Sword and the Twelve Grades Karma Red Lotus. Defeating him will be no easy feat!"

"The insectoid race assembled by the Golden Toad Ancestor is nothing but a rabble, not worth worrying about!"

Donghua laughed and didn't say much. Everyone has their own opinion, and he didn't want to change Nuwa's mind.

Moreover, the main responsibility for Fuxi becoming the Human Emperor lies with the Three Pure Ones Nuwa; the Heavenly Court would not be too involved.

Because Fuxi was recommended by Taishang, even though it was Donghua who tricked the Three Pure Ones, he was still the Heavenly Sovereign recommended by the Three Pure Ones. Therefore, whether it was merit, fortune, or difficulties and troubles, it was all the Three Pure Ones' business.

Therefore, Donghua did not want to get too involved with either Minghe or the Golden Toad Ancestor. The Heavenly Court's true choice to support the Human Emperor was Hong Yun, who would become the future Earth Sovereign Shennong.

However, there should be no Shennong in this life, because Hong Yun reincarnated voluntarily, not because he died and his cultivation dissipated. We'll see if Hong Yun is willing to change his name then!

The West Queen Mother seized the opportunity and placed a chess piece on the chessboard. In an instant, the Heavenly Punishment Great Dao completely destroyed Nuwa's creation.

"Sister Nuwa, don't get distracted while playing chess. I won this round!"

Nuwa glanced at the chessboard, seemingly unconcerned about the outcome, and instead looked at the West Queen Mother, asking, "What does Sister Taizhen think?"

The West Queen Mother laughed and said, "How can I see it? I'll just sit here and watch. There are so many things to do in the Heavenly Court, and our Heavenly Emperor is rarely in the Heaven Realm. I'm so busy that I don't have time to worry about the affairs of the human race."

Hearing this, Donghua smiled sheepishly. He knew that what he had done was indeed not very kind, but it wasn't exactly what the West Queen Mother had said.

He left his Divine Dao incarnation, the Good Corpse Yuanyang, in the Heavenly Court, so how could anything happen to him? Besides, even if he wasn't in the Heaven Realm, there were still the Six Imperials and Five Emperors, so how could he really keep the West Queen Mother busy?

But there was nothing he could do; he was in the wrong. Although he was fine with official business, he hadn't spent enough time with the West Queen Mother, and he couldn't let her vent her frustrations.

Then the West Queen Mother said, "However, since you asked, I have a different opinion. I think the Minghe is not a concern; what we really need to be careful about is the insectoid race."

"Minghe is a man who knows when to advance and retreat, and understands the timing. After gaining all the benefits in this struggle for humanity, he will naturally withdraw his troops. I believe he will not fight to the bitter end."

"But the Golden Toad is a different story. He was once on par with the Ancestor Dragon, the Yuanfeng, and the First Qilin. During the battle of the Kunwu Divine Court, he was Shen Ni and only survived by sheer luck."

"Later, through the wars of the Three Clans, immortals and demons, and Witch-Demon War, this guy always hid in the shadows and never made a move. Now, in this struggle for humanity, he has suddenly made his move, established the Zerg, and swept across the south. I estimate that his ambitions are not small!"

Nuwa thought about it for a moment and felt that what the West Queen Mother said made sense, but in her opinion, the Golden Toad Ancestor was really not a threat.

Although that guy was the leader of the "Winning Worms" appointed by Kunwu and was on par with Ancestor Dragon, he was terrified by Shen Ni during the battle with Kunwu.

Although he has not made a move since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, and his ambitions are great, his heart is broken. He has lost his bold, courageous, and diligent spirit and has no hope of making any further progress. How could he be a match for Fuxi?

But he was indeed troublesome; that guy was a Peak Quasi-Saint.

At this moment, Donghua suddenly said, "No matter what the Golden Toad is thinking, he probably won't be so lucky to live this time. Fellow Daoist Fuxi is not a soft-hearted person."

"With the Golden Toad causing such a disturbance, there are very few Great Powers left who survived from the ancient times."

Upon hearing this, the scene fell silent once more. Even Nuwa was unusually quiet for a moment. Regardless of what those surviving old folks were thinking, they were, after all, part of the Primordial Wilderness.

Now that the Primordial World is about to go to war with the Western God Realm, there is a big difference between having one more or one less Great Powers, especially one like the Golden Toad, who is at the Peak Quasi-Saint.

Donghua put down his pen, stood up and looked out at Shouyang. Although there was a world separating them, it couldn't stop Donghua from seeing what he wanted to see.

Below, in the Human Ancestral Land, lanterns and decorations were everywhere, and crowds of people were bustling about. A large number of people and resources had been withdrawn from Shouyang and were heading to Chen Du newly established capital of the human race.

"Now that the new human city is complete, everything is ready except for the final step. Senior Sister Nuwa, when will the Human Marriage take place?"

Nuwa also stood up, her eyes of creation traversing billions of miles of time and space, stopping on Fuxi and Feng Ling in the Human Ancestral Land.

"A thousand years later, Human Marriage, Fuxi will return to his throne, and the Heavenly Sovereign will emerge!"

Chen Du!

This is the new capital of the human race, jointly built by four Quasi-Saint of the human race, with the combined power of the Three Teachings of Ren, Chan, and Jie. The three thousand worlds were refined and integrated into the city. The River Diagram and Luo Book gathered the earth's water veins, the Map of Mountains and Rivers gathered the earth's spiritual veins, and the Taiji Diagram guided the power of the central Mount Buzhou Mountain, thus condensing the human race's Dragon Vein.

Chen Du more accurately described as a vast world than a capital city. Although it is far inferior to the Heaven Realm and the Earthly Realm, it is in no way inferior to the Western Region and the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

You should know that the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss was a world built by two Saints, but who gave Fuxi and the human race such a cheat code?

Chen Du not only occupies the most prosperous place in the East, but also has the unwavering support of all parties. Even the Heavenly Court has helped a lot. Donghua helped the human race open up six hundred realms with a wave of his hand, and Taishang, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Nuwa also each made their own efforts to open up cave worlds.

Therefore, Chen Du is indeed a sacred place for cultivation!

On this very day, Fuxi rode in Lightning Chariot, driven by the Tian Lu beast Tianlu. Golden Dragon circled in the clouds, Jin Feng sang in the Sky Vault, and Qilin roamed the mountains and rivers.

The three Quasi-Saint, Suiren Clan, You Chao Shi, and Zhi Shengshi, escorted the emperor, with Grand Unity leading the way, followed by a million-strong human army.

Fuxi sat upright in the Lightning Chariot, leaning on his sword with one hand and holding the Human Race Seal with the other. He was imposing without being angry. The sky was bright and dazzling, cherry blossoms fell, and melodious music wafted around him. The Mysterious Yellow Merit was gathered into nine layers of canopy, making him incomparably noble.

Fuxi did not go directly to Chen Du, but instead began an eastern tour, starting from Shouyang Mountain and inspecting the eastern lands.

Wherever the carriage passed, various Eastern powers offered congratulatory gifts. In no time, the carriage came from all directions, including the Marsh, the Malay River, Yue Xiaoling, and Wei Yingli!

All the deities of heaven and earth turned their heads to look, seeing the immense fortune constantly gathering and falling onto the canopy above the Lightning Chariot, while the Human Dao Destiny and Fortune continuously gathered in the seal in Fuxi's hand.

Whether mortal, Immortals and Gods, or supreme Great Powers, at this moment, only one thought remains in their minds:

This is what a man should do!
