Rumble...
At the foot of Buzhou Mountain, a terrifying golden beam of light suddenly shot into the sky.
Roar—
Amid the indistinct glow, dragons seemed to soar and phoenixes to dance.
The entire Primordial World was shaken.
"What's going on?"
"What happened?"
Countless mighty figures quickly projected themselves there. Even Saint Nuwa, beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, looked greatly alarmed.
They looked down and saw countless members of the Human Race gathered at the foot of Buzhou Mountain.
Nuwa's eyes instantly reddened with envy.
"Damn it, what powerful destiny."
Over the past hundred years, the Human Race had migrated and multiplied along the way.
Their numbers had already reached several hundred thousand.
Among them were plenty of old people and children, as well as pregnant women.
But the One Hundred Thousand Innate Humans had barely changed at all. They were still just as young as before.
It was no wonder the Heavenly Dao had schemed to wipe out the One Hundred Thousand Innate Humans.
The Human Race had no Innate Supreme Treasure, but it had the One Hundred Thousand Innate Humans created from Nine Heavens Soil, who had been born with the power to suppress the Human Race Destiny.
If the One Hundred Thousand Innate Humans did not die, even the Human Race Supreme Treasure, the Kongtong Seal, would have to take a back seat.
Thus, the One Hundred Thousand Innate Humans had to die—or join a Sage's faction.
They saw golden light shining over the entire Primordial World from above the several hundred thousand members of the Human Race.
"This... What powerful destiny! Why has the Human Race Destiny suddenly grown so much stronger?"
"My heavens, this destiny has surpassed the Witch Race and even suppressed the Demon Race. The Demon Race has a Sage backing them, too!"
"Wait, look! The Witch Race Destiny is surging as well. It's already surpassed the Demon Race. This... this..."
Countless mighty figures watched in utter shock.
In the Ancestor Witch Divine Hall, the Twelve Ancestor Witches were recuperating when they suddenly felt a force rush in.
Then they felt their bodies, which had been drained of strength, were suddenly like parched earth blessed by rain.
The strength that had disappeared long ago returned to their bodies once more.
"What's going on?"
"My strength is back."
"Big Brother, you've grown younger."
"Have I?"
The Twelve Ancestor Witches were overjoyed, but suddenly felt the earth shake beneath them.
"What's going on? Has the Demon Race attacked again?"
"Come on, let's go take a look."
They all hurried outside, only to be stunned by what they saw:
"The Human Race has already reached Buzhou Mountain? It hasn't even been a hundred years!"
Looking at the densely packed members of the Human Race before them, the Witch Race was dumbfounded. When the Human Race had begun its great migration, the Witch Race had offered to help, but Chu Yan had refused.
He had said it was a trial, and the Witch Race had let the matter drop.
They hadn't expected the Human Race to change so dramatically in just a hundred years.
The same was true in the Demon Heavenly Court. When Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi saw this, they were so furious they could have cried.
"Damn the Human Race! I hate them—!"
In the Demon Heavenly Court, Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi wished they could slaughter every member of the Human Race at once.
The Human Race Destiny had firmly suppressed the Demon Race's, while the Witch Race Destiny had surged because of the Human Race.
How could they stand for that?
"The Human Race must die. We have to find a way to wipe them out, or the Demon Race will surely lose."
While everyone was still reeling from the shock, Taiqing suddenly felt a stirring in his heart.
"My opportunity has arrived. I am destined to become a Sage."
Then, in an instant, he transformed into a streak of light and shot toward Buzhou Mountain.
Hongjun's expression also changed drastically.
"The Human Race Destiny is too powerful. It has surpassed the Witch and Demon Races in one stroke. This is bad—the protagonists of the Witch-Monster Tribulation are about to change. Heavenly Dao, lend me your strength!"
The Jade Plate of Creation instantly transformed into the power of laws. Joined with the power of the Heavenly Dao, it rushed into the River of Destiny to suppress it.
If the Human Race Destiny truly rose, the Witch-Monster Tribulation might turn into a war in which the Human Race joined forces with the Witch Race to fight the Demon Race.
In the end, the Demon Race would perish, while the Witch Race and Human Race would prosper.
The result would be that not only would Pangu's Will remain intact and Pangu's Karma go unsevered, but Pangu would also be reborn.
If that happened, all the Heavenly Dao's schemes would come to nothing.
At the same time, Hongjun saw the cause through the River of Destiny.
"So that's why. The Human Race's great migration has been completed. This destiny should have belonged to Nuwa. What a useless fool."
Originally, after Nuwa Creates Humans, she was supposed to protect the Human Race for a thousand years, after which the Human Race Destiny would belong to her.
Then Taiqing would teach the Human Race, seize its destiny, establish the Human Religion, and completely suppress the Human Race Destiny.
Then, five Sages would appear in a single day and completely suppress the Human Race Destiny.
That way, the Human Race would be dragged into the abyss for good.
Finally, the Investiture of the Gods War would bring it all to an end: the Human Emperor would become the Son of Heaven, and Humanity Dao would become a puppet of the Heavenly Dao.
But now, because of Chu Yan, everything had changed.
Rumble...
In the golden River of Destiny, Hongjun used every last bit of his strength to suppress it.
The laws of the Heavenly Dao also burst forth at full power.
"Damn it! Why is it so difficult to make the Human Race a Fixed Number?"
Hongjun felt that this was a tricky problem. Making the Human Race a Fixed Number all at once was simply impossible.
"Forget it. I can only stabilize things for now and deal with it gradually later."
Pfft—
He spat a mouthful of blood onto the Jade Plate of Creation, then tossed it straight into the River of Destiny.
"Suppress it!"
Rumble...
A vast, mighty force bore down on it, and only then did the River of Destiny stabilize.
Hongjun was heartbroken.
"This is infuriating! To suppress the Human Race Destiny, I had to use the Jade Disc of Creation. Chu Yan, just you wait!"
To suppress the Human Race's fate, Hongjun had sacrificed the Jade Plate of Creation.
But he could only stabilize it. He had not made the Human Race a Fixed Number.
Rumble...
At the same time, the Human Race Destiny surged to a standstill.
Pfft—
Chu Yan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"What's going on? As the Human Race Destiny surges, I should be growing stronger. Why does my chest feel so tight?"
His expression changed dramatically. Had something gone wrong again?
Roar—
A dragon's roar rang out, and Chu Yan instantly understood.
"Hongjun—!"
He threw back his head and roared, unleashing an endless killing intent.
How could he not know that Hongjun had suppressed the Human Race's fate?
Rumble...
A Golden Giant rose from the ground.
"Break!"
Chu Yan threw a punch, trying to break through the barrier and charge into the River of Destiny.
But it was all in vain.
"Damn it! With no Sage of the Human Race, Humanity Dao cannot emerge. This is infuriating."
He slammed a fist into the ground, and the land for thousands of miles around shook at once.
At that very moment, a figure came rushing over.
"I am Taiqing, the Dao Ancestor's first disciple. Today, I shall teach—"
What?
Chu Yan was already furious, and this only added fuel to the fire. He instantly erupted.
"Taiqing, you dare set your sights on the Human Race? You're asking for death!"
Furious, Chu Yan cut Taiqing off mid-sentence. At the same time, he brought a palm crashing down from the sky, and the terrifying Human Race Destiny erupted.
A dense mass of darkness filled the sky and slammed down.
"Not good!"
Taiqing's expression changed drastically. He had been so excited that he'd let himself get carried away. Only then did he remember that Chu Yan was still with the Human Race. He tried to dodge, but the Human Race Destiny was simply too overwhelming.
"Bam!"
Chu Yan's palm slammed him straight into the ground.
"Chu Yan, stop!"
"Stop my ass."
He'd been looking for somewhere to vent his anger, and now someone had come along to offer themselves up like a pillow.
Besides, Chu Yan understood perfectly well: Taiqing's opportunity to become a Sage had arrived, so the Human Religion would soon be established.
Wouldn't that mean... the Five Saints were about to appear in a single day?
At first glance, the Five Saints appearing in one day seemed to have nothing to do with the Human Race. In reality, they were all connected to it.
Chu Yan would never let the Human Race be schemed against.
If that was the case, then...
"Kill Taiqing."
