Synopsis:
Jiang Haofeng from the human race in later generations, carrying the Chaos Spirit Treasure, Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Book, transmigrates to the Primordial Era as an innate human.
Observing the Witch Tribe's path of fighting heaven and earth, he establishes the Martial Dao for the human race!
Observing the Golden-Winged Great Peng soaring, he creates the Great Peng Escape Technique!
Observing the Great Golden Crow Rainbow Transformation Escape, he passes down the Great Golden Crow Rainbow Transformation Escape!
Observing the True Sun Fire, he passes down the True Sun Fire Art!
Observing the Heavenly Court's Investiture of the Gods method, he passes down the Human Emperor's Investiture of the Gods Art!
Ancestor Haofeng establishes the human ancestral land, creates the system of human clan elders, gathers human powerhouses as trấn tộc powerhouses, inherits myriad techniques, cultivates prodigies, drills human clan soldiers, monitors the human lands, and governs the mortal realm!
From this day forth, the Heavenly Emperor shall govern heaven, and the Human King shall govern the mortal realm. The Heavenly Emperor shall not interfere in mortal affairs, and heavenly gods and Buddhas shall not manifest themselves in the mortal realm to build temples, establish sacrifices, or pass down faith. Those who disobey shall have their temples destroyed and their gates razed, and shall be killed without mercy!
"I am Nuwa. I have roamed the Primordial Era for three thousand epochs and feel that heaven and earth are incomplete and the human dao is insufficient. Today, I shall emulate the innate Dao body and conform to the distinction between clear and turbid in heaven and earth. I shall use the Three Lights Divine Water as clarity to evolve the three souls, and the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil as turbidity to evolve the body. With the Yin-Yang Supreme Principle, I will merge clarity and turbidity to evolve the seven souls and create a race, naming it—Human!"
"This is to complete the human dao and perfect heaven and earth. I request the Heavenly Dao to witness this!"
Amidst the vast and boundless heaven and earth, an immeasurable Dharma Image soared, with a human head and a serpent's body. It was the innate divine spirit, the Profound Gate Orthodox, a direct disciple of the Dao Ancestor, and one of the six Sages destined by heaven—Great God Nuwa!
Nuwa's voice resounded throughout the Primordial Era, drawing the attention of countless Great Divine Powers. Numerous Great Divine Powers awakened from their seclusion and looked toward the Primordial Era.
Was Nuwa about to prove her Dao and become a Sage?
On Kunlun Mountain, the Three Pure Ones awoke from their enlightenment. Looking at the voice echoing through the Primordial Era, they felt the profound Dao charm appearing in heaven and earth, and their expressions turned grim. Junior Sister Nuwa had managed to prove her Dao first.
The Dao Ancestor had passed down the Hongmeng Purple Qi three thousand epochs ago, yet the three brothers still had no clues. They never expected Junior Sister Nuwa to beat them to it.
On the Western Spirit Mountain, Jieyin and Zhunti were also startled. They opened their Dharma Eyes and looked toward the Primordial Era.
Zhunti, seated on his lotus platform, spoke with some surprise, "Nuwa has actually taken the lead. The Three Pure Ones hold the merit of creation, yet they have fallen behind Nuwa."
"The path of a Sage is incomparably profound. Merit is merely the foundation. One must also have their heart merge with the Heavenly Dao and be recognized by the Heavenly Dao before they can connect with the Hongmeng Purple Qi and obtain the position of Heavenly Dao Saint!"
"No matter how great the merit, if the karmic affinity is not present, one cannot trigger the Hongmeng Purple Qi to prove the Dao and become a Sage!"
Jieyin spoke leisurely. However, even as he said this, Jieyin's eyes were filled with envy when he mentioned the Three Pure Ones.
The primordial spirit of Great God Pangu transformed into them, making them the Pangu Orthodox. They inherited the merit of creation, possessing immeasurable merit that was unrivaled in the Primordial Era.
Whatever benefits existed in the world, they did not need to contend for them; a portion was naturally theirs. The Great Divine Powers in heaven and earth all received the blessings of Great God Pangu. Innately, they owed the three brothers a karmic debt. Their starting point was countless times better than that of the two fellow disciples.
Aside from the six Sages destined by heaven, in the supreme Demon Court, which towered thirty-three levels high, the Demon Emperor Di Jun, the Demon Emperor Donghuang Taiyi, the Demon Master Kunpeng, the Ten Directions Demon Saints, and the 365 Demon Gods all looked toward the Primordial Era.
Below Buzhou Mountain, in the Ancestral Witch Hall, the Twelve Ancestral Witches and a host of Great Witches also raised their heads to look at the sky not far away.
That's right, the place where Nuwa proved her Dao and created humans was below Buzhou Mountain, on the other side. It was not in the Witch Tribe's territory, but it was still at their doorstep, a mere three hundred trillion li away.
Old Ancestor Minghe of the Sea of Blood, Zhenyuanzi of Wuzhuang Temple, Daoist Randeng, and the other Three Thousand Guests of Zixiao Palace also opened their Dharma Eyes and looked toward the Primordial Era, collectively witnessing the birth of the first Heavenly Dao Saint in heaven and earth.
In the Primordial Era, Dao charm surged around Nuwa, auspicious clouds appeared above her head, and boundless rosy clouds rippled. Treasures such as the Map of Mountains and Rivers, the Heaven and Earth Cauldron, the Red Embroidered Ball, and the Precious Lotus Lantern rose and fell within the auspicious clouds, their innate indestructible spiritual light shining, evolving endless profundities.
As Nuwa connected with heaven and earth, a faint, indifferent will began to awaken from the depths of the Primordial Era.
Seeing that she had attracted the Heavenly Dao, Nuwa did not hesitate. The Law of Creation permeated her body, and with a wave of her hand, the Heaven and Earth Cauldron roared forth, suspended between heaven and earth.
With a flick of her finger, golden, silver, and purple streams of light erupted, falling into the Heaven and Earth Cauldron.
With a flip of her palm, a golden chunk of earth appeared in Nuwa's hand. The earth was imbued with a thick Earth Dao charm, broad and magnanimous, a small piece resembling a vast and boundless continent.
Golden light surged from the earth, containing endless vitality, ceaseless and infinite!
With a wave of her hand, the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil fell into the Heaven and Earth Cauldron. With a touch of her finger, boundless Law of Creation condensed, transforming into a point of green light that entered the Heaven and Earth Cauldron.
After a moment, the Heaven and Earth Cauldron burst with brilliant green light, and the endless Law of Creation rippled.
A smile appeared on Nuwa's face. With a lift of her hand, a mud pit rose from the Heaven and Earth Cauldron. The Law of Creation within the mud pit was extremely dense, with various colorful mysterious lights flashing, truly wondrous and extraordinary.
Putting away the Heaven and Earth Cauldron, the mud pit landed on the ground. Nuwa's immeasurable Dharma Image also shrank, transforming into her innate Dao body.
The woman picked up a piece of mud and immediately molded a small human figure.
Looking at the two small figures before her, a smile appeared on Nuwa's face. With a sweep of her palm, the Law of Creation flowed into the bodies of the mud figures. The eyes of the mud figures instantly became lively, and their muddy bodies transformed into flesh and blood.
Nuwa placed the small figures on the ground and picked up another piece of mud. Soon, forty-nine small figures appeared on the ground.
Nuwa frowned slightly. Molding and imparting sentience to each one individually was too slow. Moreover, nearly half of the mud in the mud pit had already been consumed. Could it be that she would only create a hundred people?
Nuwa paused for a moment, then picked up another piece of mud and molded one last small figure, completing the number fifty according to the Great Dao.
Then, Nuwa took out a gourd vine. The Law of Creation permeated it, and with a whip strike, hundreds of mud specks were flung out. These specks landed on the ground and transformed into lively, bouncing little humans.
Nuwa rejoiced, thinking, "This is good!" She immediately swung her whip again, striking eight more times. Dense crowds of little humans appeared around Nuwa. With a sweep of her divine sense, including the previous fifty, there were exactly three thousand—not one more, nor one less!
Three thousand innate humans, completing the number three thousand according to the Great Dao, and the merit was perfected!
A golden pillar of merit, reaching through heaven and earth, descended from the sky. It split into five in the void, and five-tenths of the merit entered Nuwa's body.
One part of merit integrated into the gourd vine in Nuwa's hand and the mud pit for creating humans below, forming the Postnatal Merit Supreme Treasure, the Human Creation Whip, and the Postnatal Merit Supreme Treasure, the Creation Sacred Spring.
Two parts of merit sank into the three thousand innate humans below. Of these, the foremost fifty occupied one part, and the latter two thousand nine hundred fifty occupied one part.
The remaining two parts of merit vanished into thin air, their whereabouts unknown.
A host of Great Divine Powers meticulously calculated, but found nothing.
As merit entered her body, the Hongmeng Purple Qi within Nuwa's divine soul manifested. Purple qi crisscrossed the heavens and earth, vast and surging for hundreds of millions of miles. Rosy clouds rose between heaven and earth, with heavenly flowers falling and golden lotuses springing from the earth!
Nuwa's aura surged continuously, a powerful might that suppressed eternity and overwhelmed everything, blanketing the entire Primordial Era lands!
All below the Quasi-Saint level prostrated themselves. Even Grand Luo Golden Immortals, with their Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown and Five Qi Towards Origin, were no exception. Only Quasi-Saints could barely remain standing, but they still had to bow in deference.
Beneath a Saint, all are but ants!
"Greetings, Sage Nuwa!"
Across the Primordial Era lands, countless living beings respectfully bowed, their worshipful cries echoing throughout the vastness!
Nuwa slowly opened her eyes, looking with some surprise at the race she had just created below – the protagonist of the eternal world!
No wonder she could become a Saint through this; truly a fortunate race!
"The Human race has just been born; for ten epochs, the myriad races of the Primordial Era shall not interfere!"
Nuwa waved her hand. Centered on the Human race, an area of one hundred thousand li simultaneously vanished from the sight of all Primordial Era beings. Even many Great Divine Powers could not ascertain where the Human race had gone.
"That was just now... Nuwa creating humans!"
Jiang Haofeng stared dumbfoundedly at the scene before him. Coupled with the cry of "Greetings, Sage Nuwa!", Jiang Haofeng knew that he had transmigrated to the Primordial Era lands and become one of the three thousand innate humans.
Before Jiang Haofeng could react, his vision blurred, and everything disappeared. Whether it was Nuwa's majestic Dharma Image or the towering mountain piercing the nine heavens, everything vanished.
Only the three thousand newly born innate humans remained, looking around with curiosity. The Human race had just been born, and everything around them was new to the newborn humans. Mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, flowers, grass, and trees – all were novelties.
Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew by, carrying a hint of coolness. Looking down, Jiang Haofeng's expression drastically changed. Damn it, Nuwa didn't create clothes when she created humans!
Jiang Haofeng immediately reached out to cover his crucial parts. His actions drew the attention of the surrounding humans, who looked at him with curiosity. A woman beside Jiang Haofeng imitated his movements.
For a moment, all three thousand humans were focused on him, and Jiang Haofeng felt utterly embarrassed, wishing he could disappear from this world immediately.
However, in the next moment, a power surged from within Jiang Haofeng, forming a golden light screen around him, covering his entire body.
This... is mana?
Jiang Haofeng looked at the golden light on his body in amazement. Upon closer inspection, he found himself terrifyingly strong. A profound power flowed within him, his body like forged fine iron. With every movement, he possessed immense strength.
A mysterious comprehension filled his mind: Golden Immortal Realm!
Possessing an immortal golden nature, immortality, living as long as heaven and earth, and shining with the sun and moon!
Good heavens, born a Golden Immortal! As expected of innate humans, Nuwa is too powerful. In other worlds, this would be enough to dominate!
Unfortunately, this is the Primordial Era, and it's before the Witch-Demon War, during the time when the Six Sages were destined to prove their Dao. Grand Unity experts are everywhere, and Grand Unity Immortals are as common as dogs. The entire Primordial Era is permeated with innate spiritual energy, and its inhabitants are terrifyingly strong.
A Golden Immortal is merely a slightly larger minion.
Jiang Haofeng's divine sense swept outwards. The forty-nine humans Nuwa personally molded around him were, like himself, all in the Golden Immortal Realm. As for the remaining two thousand nine hundred fifty, they were all True Immortal Realm cultivators.
This strength, while incredibly formidable in later ages, was truly insufficient for the current Primordial Era.
Fortunately, with the Sage's Edict, the Human race could remain peaceful for ten epochs.
One epoch is 10,800 years, and one unit of time is 12 epochs, totaling 129,600 years. Ten epochs, or 1,200,000 years, is the newbie protection zone for the Human race. During this time, no one dared to provoke them.
Of course, it's only for these ten epochs. Coming from the future, Jiang Haofeng knew very well that after ten epochs, Nuwa, Humanity's Holy Mother, would no longer concern herself with the Human race.
The Human race began its struggle to survive alone in the Primordial Era, becoming prey for the Demon race and subordinates of the Witch Tribe, living extremely miserable lives. Even Grand Pure Sage, who established the Humanity Teaching, did not intervene excessively in the Human race's affairs during the Witch-Demon War.
It wasn't until after the Witch-Demon War, when both races declined, that the Human race became the protagonist of heaven and earth. Through the Three Sovereigns' rule and the Five Emperors establishing order, with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors suppressing Humanity's Destiny, did they finally begin to develop and become the mainstream of the Primordial Era world.
