"You are called: Human." Nüwa's clear voice rang out, and the sky above the Great Desolation was instantly dyed purple.

Becoming a Saint, Nüwa had become a Saint.

The mighty beings of the Great Desolation looked up at the purple sky, filled with envy. Becoming a Saint!

Until now, the only Saint in the Great Desolation was Dao Ancestor Hongjun. Now, there was another, Holy Mother Nüwa.

Especially the Three Pure Ones, their hearts were filled with jealousy. The Dao Ancestor had three direct disciples and one inner-chamber disciple. The Three Pure Ones automatically ignored the other two registered disciples.

Yet, their three direct disciples had not become Saints, while the youngest inner-chamber disciple had.

How could the Three Pure Ones bear this?

The moment Nüwa became a Saint, she glimpsed a trace of the Great Desolation's future.

She also sensed that among the Human Race she had created, one was particularly striking.

Among the three thousand humans, only he was a Golden Immortal upon birth; the rest were mortals.

"Who are you?"

"Reporting to Holy Mother, this humble Daoist is Qing Xuanzi, created by Holy Mother's grace." Qing Xuanzi replied calmly.

He was a transmigrator. In fact, the place he had transmigrated to was Chaos.

After traveling with Pangu for tens of millions of years, his cultivation realm had made no progress. He was a mortal when he arrived, and after tens of millions of years, he was still a mortal.

He just didn't know why his life was so long, enduring the baptism of Chaos for tens of millions of years without dying.

It wasn't until the moment Pangu opened the sky that Pangu enlightened. He told Qing Xuanzi, "Your opportunity lies in the Dao of Man."

So he was sent here by Pangu, becoming one of the three thousand innate humans.

"All those I created were mortals. Why are you an immortal?" Nüwa's question interrupted Qing Xuanzi's thoughts.

"The Heavenly Dao is unpredictable. This humble Daoist should be an immortal."

Nüwa's beautiful eyes stared for a long time, making Qing Xuanzi feel uneasy. It's just a Golden Immortal, is there a need to stare like that?

After a long while, Nüwa lightly parted her red lips and said, "Are you willing to cultivate in my Nüwa Palace?"

"Thank you for Holy Mother's favor. As a Human Race immortal, this humble Daoist should reside among the Human Race." Qing Xuanzi knew that it wasn't because of his outstanding talent.

It was because Nüwa had taken a fancy to the ten percent of the Human Race's destiny on his head that she asked this question.

The most important point was that Nüwa only mentioned cultivating in her Nüwa Palace, not taking him as a disciple.

In that case, at most he would be a handyman or a doorkeeper. One could see this from the future Nezha.

It would be better to cultivate on his own. At this time, the Three Pure Ones hadn't even become Saints yet.

He was at least a Golden Immortal now. What if he got lucky and entered the Three Pure Ones' sect?

Even entering the sect of the Master of the Heavenly Dao would be fine. It was still unknown how long it would be until the Investiture of the Gods. Becoming a disciple of the Master of the Heavenly Dao, having such a long time to cultivate in peace, was still acceptable.

"In that case, you should take care of yourself." After saying this, Nüwa mounted the Azure Luan and was about to leave.

However, her beautiful eyes were surprised to find Hongjun's expressionless figure suddenly appearing.

"Teacher." Nüwa moved with lotus steps, coming to Hongjun's side and performing a Daoist ritual/bow.

"Teacher."

"Teacher."

"Teacher."

At the same time, the Three Pure Ones, who had rushed over in a hurry, also bowed.

Hongjun's face was expressionless as he said indifferently, "Qing Xuanzi, are you willing to be the last disciple of my Profound Gate?"

Ah ha, does this even need consideration? Not hugging the thickest thigh in the entire Great Desolation, isn't that foolish?

Without the slightest hesitation, Qing Xuanzi knelt down and bowed: "Disciple is willing."

Most importantly, his experience was not simple.

In Qing Xuanzi's mind, the scene after Pangu understood Qing Xuanzi's mission appeared.

Pangu: "Qing Xuanzi, if a Heavenly Dao spokesperson takes you as a disciple in the future, you should agree to him."

Qing Xuanzi: "Why?"

Pangu: "There will definitely be changes in the Heavenly Dao in the future. I have told you about this. The future Heavenly Dao spokesperson is the representative who will give a glimmer of hope to all living beings in the Great Desolation."

Qing Xuanzi: "To receive his protection?"

Pangu: "Yes, and no."

"..."

It was precisely because of this that Qing Xuanzi agreed immediately as soon as Hongjun spoke.

Hongjun left. He left after taking his disciple, without saying a word.

This made Qing Xuanzi mutter to himself: You old man, at least leave some spiritual treasures. You don't need the Jade Disc of Creation, just giving a supreme treasure would be fine.

Seeing that Hongjun had left, Nüwa glanced at Qing Xuanzi with her beautiful eyes, then mounted the Azure Luan and departed.

Similarly, a voice echoed throughout the Great Desolation: "Within ten thousand years, no race shall disturb the Human Race."

"..."

"Qing, Qing Xuanzi?"

Qing Xuanzi, who was in a daze, looked up and saw that it was the Human Race beside him speaking to him.

"Yes, I am Qing Xuanzi. The most urgent task is to find a place to settle down and establish ourselves," Qing Xuanzi said gently.

In his previous life, he was a Human Race and had lamented that the innate Human Race were almost all dead.

If there were even a few hundred left, the Human Race would definitely rise.

The Human Dao would also definitely flourish with it.

Now that he had become one of the three thousand innate Human Race, he swore to preserve these sparks of the Human Race.

He would absolutely not let the innate Human Race be reduced to only the Three Ancestors of the Human Race in the future.

Even the only remaining Three Ancestors of the Human Race, along with the Three Sovereigns, were completely confined to Fire Cloud Cave. He would absolutely not let this happen.

"Follow me." After searching the terrain within a hundred-mile radius with his divine sense, Qing Xuanzi chose a valley as the dwelling place for the Human Race.

Upon arriving at the destination, Qing Xuanzi discussed with the first few members of the Human Race who had been born.

He allocated some caves for the Human Race to live in.

And taught the Human Race some basic survival knowledge.

Qing Xuanzi was busy for a full month. During this time, the food for the Human Race was all hunted by him.

After a month, when the Human Race had basically mastered the basic life skills taught by Qing Xuanzi.

Only then did Qing Xuanzi choose to let go.

Before letting go, he divided the Human Race into one hundred groups, each group with thirty people, and told them how to elect a leader for each group.

Seeing that the three thousand innate Human Race members could hunt for food in groups, he went to the mountaintop alone.

As soon as he reached the mountaintop, Dao Ancestor Hongjun appeared.

"Heaven is before man, is that right?"

Qing Xuanzi shouted in his heart: This is the Heavenly Dao, right? It's definitely the Heavenly Dao.

Qing Xuanzi was dumbfounded.

Qing Xuanzi's guess was: Hongjun accepted disciples, affirming his destiny as the Son of Humanity, and the Heavenly Dao was unhappy.

For a long time, Qing Xuanzi did not give an answer, and the air was almost solidified.

Qing Xuanzi knew that if he answered: Yes.

Then, congratulations, the mission has failed. In the eyes of the will of heaven and earth, he has no need to exist.

If Qing Xuanzi answered: No.

Then, congratulations, you have escaped the sea of suffering and can pass away, the kind where your soul is completely destroyed.

So now, Qing Xuanzi's forehead was covered in sweat. This question was difficult to answer.

He had to find a safe way to get through this.

Finally, almost when Dao Ancestor Hongjun couldn't hold back, Qing Xuanzi's voice sounded: "For the Human Race, yes."

There was nothing wrong with this answer at all. Isn't heaven before man?

But for the Heavenly Dao, what Qing Xuanzi said was purely nonsense.

The expressionless Dao Ancestor Hongjun stared straight at Qing Xuanzi without speaking.

Qing Xuanzi, on the other hand, looked at the other party with a calm expression.

In reality, Qing Xuanzi's heart was about to collapse. This kind of gaze was like a knife piercing into Qing Xuanzi's soul.

Constantly splitting his soul.

Just as Qing Xuanzi was about to be unable to hold on.

Suddenly, the air relaxed. When Qing Xuanzi looked closely again, the figure of Dao Ancestor Hongjun had disappeared.

What followed was a death warrant: "I will come back in ten thousand years to hear your answer."

Qing Xuanzi's heart tightened. The Heavenly Dao's meaning was that it absolutely did not want him to live.

However, you, the Heavenly Dao, want to destroy me and you just do it? Just see if the inventory agrees or not.
