When it came to building a city for Empress Nuwa, Huaxu agreed without a second thought.

Suiren's eyes lit up, a sharp glint flashing deep within them, and he immediately said, "It is only right!"

"Empress Nuwa's saintly power has protected humanity for ten Yuan. Building a city to express our gratitude for her great kindness is indeed only right!" Da Chao and Zhisheng, standing nearby, nodded in agreement.

With the three of them nodding, the rest of the Innate Humans had no objections. Empress Nuwa was humanity's great benefactor, and it was only fitting to remember her kindness.

"Good!"

"Huaxu, after the tribal assembly is over, go to the Empress's temple and ask her if she agrees to us naming the city after her honored title!"

"Ah?" Huaxu was taken aback.

"If we ask Empress Nuwa, will she respond to us?"

"We have to try. We are establishing a city in her honored name, so we naturally need to ask for her opinion."

"Alright, I'll go try." Huaxu hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Jiang Haofeng chuckled inwardly. A response?

With Huaxu's devoted worship for ten Yuan, Empress Nuwa would definitely respond.

And naming the city after Nuwa, while it might seem like borrowing her prestige, well, it was borrowing her prestige.

But Empress Nuwa wouldn't be harmed by it; on the contrary, there were many benefits. Humanity's ancestral land becoming Nuwa City would lead to more people worshipping and giving thanks to Empress Nuwa.

Humanity's Destiny and faith, in later generations, would become the core focus of many Great Sects' struggles. The Journey to the West Calamity was a struggle for faith, which greatly benefited the Saints!

This would further strengthen her connection with humanity, and Empress Nuwa would likely not refuse.

This was a win-win situation. Humanity would use Empress Nuwa's prestige to deter everyone in the Primordial Era, and Empress Nuwa would strengthen her connection with humanity, killing two birds with one stone!

With the matter of Nuwa City settled, Jiang Haofeng spoke again, "In addition to building a city to commemorate Empress Nuwa, the Grand Pure Sage also preached the Dao to humanity before the five Yuan, greatly advancing our strength and development, for which he is greatly benevolent to humanity."

"I propose that we honor the Grand Pure Sage as humanity's Sage Master and build a temple to worship him in our ancestral land, Central Phoenix Mountain."

The Innate Humans naturally had no objections. Everyone present had listened to the Grand Pure Sage's sermons. Each of the three sermons had benefited them greatly, and the Grand Pure Sage was indeed humanity's Sage Master.

"It's still Brother Haofeng who's dependable. I was so focused on listening to the Dao that I didn't even think about establishing a temple to worship the Sage." Da Chao slapped his forehead, voicing the thoughts of all the Innate Humans present.

Everyone present knew of the Sage's great grace in preaching the Dao, but no one had actually thought of building a temple to worship him, especially the members of the manifest lineage, who were legitimate registered disciples of the Sage, and they hadn't even thought of it.

Brother Haofeng is truly dependable!

At this moment, everyone's thoughts were exactly the same as Da Chao's.

Jiang Haofeng nodded, unsurprised. "Good, then it is decided."

"The Holy Mother's temple will be two miles east of the Ancestral Pavilion, and the Sage Master's temple will be built two miles west of the Ancestral Pavilion."

Pausing, Jiang Haofeng continued, "The Holy Mother's temple will be maintained and worshipped by Huaxu. The Sage Master's temple will also require someone to clean and worship him. Who among you is willing to take responsibility for this, to worship the Sage Master on behalf of humanity every day?"

The members of the manifest lineage instantly turned their gaze towards the hidden lineage members, as they needed to oversee humanity's various tribes.

The members of the hidden lineage, in turn, focused their attention on the three of them. Although everyone present had learned the Grand Pure Dao, the problem was that after Haofeng had them specialize in one path before the five Yuan, the vast majority of the hidden lineage members chose the Martial Dao. After all, the Martial Dao originated from the Witch Tribe and was very powerful in combat. If one couldn't comprehend the Grand Pure Immortal Art to a very high realm, they would truly be no match for the Martial Dao under the same level.

But given the profundity of the Grand Pure Immortal Art, even comprehending a little was remarkable; comprehending it completely was extremely difficult.

Furthermore, since the manifest lineage members were all cultivating the Grand Pure Immortal Art, the hidden lineage members' first choice was the Martial Dao. Only three of them were very compatible with the Grand Pure Immortal Art, which was why they cultivated it.

From a corner, a human youth stepped forward under everyone's gaze. "I'll do it. The Sage preached the Grand Pure Dao to humanity three times, bestowing immeasurable merit. I am willing to clean the Sage Master's temple and worship the Sage Master on behalf of humanity, to express my gratitude for the Sage's great benevolence!"

As his voice fell, everyone's attention in the grand hall instantly shifted to the youth.

Yunyang!

A rather introverted Innate Human, he didn't have much presence in the tribe.

Jiang Haofeng nodded slightly. His karma was good, making him the temple keeper of the Sage Master's temple in humanity's ancestral land. With the Grand Pure Sage backing him, his future would surely not be bad.

"Good, then Yunyang will serve as the temple keeper of humanity's Sage Master temple, and Huaxu will serve as the temple keeper of humanity's Holy Mother temple."

Huaxu and Yunyang immediately nodded in agreement.

With the second matter concluded, Jiang Haofeng promptly proposed the final matter.

"This third matter concerns the ancestral land. The Witch Tribe has the Ancestral Witch Hall, and the Demon Tribe has the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array to isolate the inside from the outside. On the territories of both tribes, it is difficult for Saints to investigate, let alone others."

"Humanity was initially protected by Empress Nuwa's saintly power, preventing anyone from the Primordial Era from investigating. Now that the ten Yuan period has arrived, the barrier has dissipated. If not for the creation Dao charm of the Creation Sacred Spring, humanity would likely have been completely exposed to the prying eyes of the great divine powers of the Primordial Era."

"Although humanity cannot compare to the Witches and Demons, our ancestral land must not be arbitrarily investigated by others!"

Hearing Jiang Haofeng's words, everyone couldn't help but nod. Yes, humanity's ancestral land was the core of all humanity; how could it be casually investigated by others?

Moreover, the ancestral land harbored the hidden lineage as a backup plan, so how could others see it? If others were to discover the hidden lineage, what would be the point of its existence?

"But, Brother Haofeng, humanity's current strength is indeed inferior. Currently, there are only the three of us among the tribe's Grand Luo Golden Immortals, and we have no inheritance of array formations or treasures. Only this Ancestral Pavilion can offer some protection. As for the entire ancestral land, I fear it can only rely on the Creation Sacred Spring," Da Chao said with a wry smile.

Suiren, standing beside him, also nodded. This was currently the only less-than-ideal solution.

Jiang Haofeng shook his head. "The creation Dao charm is the origin power of the Creation Sacred Spring. It's harmless in the short term, but over time, it will damage the origin of the Creation Sacred Spring. Within one Calamity, the Creation Sacred Spring will have its origin withered and its power diminished."

For a moment, the entire Ancestral Pavilion fell silent. All the Innate Humans were contemplating solutions.

After a long while, Suiren looked at Haofeng. "Brother Haofeng, do you have a way?"

As his voice fell, the gazes of the forty-eight Innate Humans instantly focused on Jiang Haofeng, their eyes filled with anticipation.

"Yes, and there's Haofeng too! Haofeng is so smart, he'll definitely find a way!"

Under the expectant gazes of everyone present, Jiang Haofeng nodded. "I have an idea, but I don't know if it can be realized."

The Innate Humans present immediately brightened. It was Haofeng, of course he was smart. Da Chao, standing nearby, immediately spoke up, "Brother Haofeng, just say it. We'll all work together, and we can definitely make it happen!"

"Exactly!"

"Big Brother Haofeng, the method you thought of will definitely work!"

The Innate Humans around them immediately chimed in.

Under everyone's enthusiastic urging, Jiang Haofeng said, "Actually, I don't have any other methods. The only thing I can think of right now is to go to Shouyang Mountain and ask the Sage Master for help, to see if there's any hope."

As soon as Jiang Haofeng finished speaking, everyone present froze. Da Chao said somewhat guiltily, "Brother Haofeng, without an invitation from the teacher, if we go rashly, I'm afraid the teacher will blame us."

Jiang Haofeng secretly chuckled. How could that be? Saints have such broad minds, why would they care about such things? At most, they just wouldn't see them.

Besides, other Saints might not see them, but the Grand Pure Sage would never ignore them. The Grand Pure Sage established the Humanity Teaching to enlighten humanity towards the Dao. In other words, the Grand Pure Sage is humanity's teacher.

Enlightenment involves teaching, imparting knowledge is enlightenment, and answering humanity's questions is naturally part of enlightenment. As long as humanity comes to him, the Grand Pure Sage would absolutely not ignore them.

Speaking of which, the Grand Pure Sage's enlightenment of humanity towards the Dao destined him to have a teacher-disciple relationship with humanity. No, it should be with the Human Manifest Lineage now.

However, the Grand Pure Sage advocated non-action and would only intervene if absolutely necessary. Humanity also feared the might of a Saint, and if a Saint did not summon them, they would not dare to seek an audience. Thus, in humanity's original history, the Grand Pure Sage only appeared twice.

What a waste, such a waste. This excellent teaching resource was wasted for nothing.

If the teacher is too lazy to teach due to inaction, the students can still ask.

Although Jiang Haofeng was already certain of the outcome, his face still showed a hesitant expression. He looked at Da Chao and said, "Brother Da Chao, this is also a last resort. Our humanity's foundation is truly too shallow. The only way now is to seek the Sage Master. No matter what, we have to try. After all, the Human Manifest Lineage are disciples of the Sage Master."

A Saint is a Saint, capable of knowing all under heaven with a single thought. We absolutely cannot let the Saint know our intentions, otherwise, a stick might fall from the sky at any moment.

Da Chao also nodded. "It seems this is the only way."

"Fine, I will go to Shouyang Mountain to seek an audience with the teacher, hoping the teacher can bestow a method of concealment."

"Alright, thank you for your trouble, Brother Da Chao."

The second tribal assembly of humanity thus concluded. As soon as it ended, Huaxu immediately headed towards the Holy Mother Temple, while Da Chao set off towards Shouyang Mountain.

Wa Huang Heaven!

Nuwa opened her eyes and looked at Huaxu kneeling before her statue, a smile appearing on her face.

"Silly girl, you don't even know you've been schemed against."

Then Nuwa turned her gaze, crossing the Chaos, and landed on Jiang Haofeng, who was cultivating. She murmured to herself:

"Haofeng, you have quite the schemes and many secrets. However, your virtue is flawless. With someone as calculating as him in the newly established humanity, it's a good thing."

"My Human Creation Merit is complete, and the heavenly secrets indicate that I should no longer interfere in humanity's affairs. With this person, humanity can fare better."

Then Nuwa raised her hand and pointed. A phantom image of a Red Embroidered Ball crossed the Chaos and landed on Huaxu. You have worshipped me for ten Yuan, your sincerity is commendable. I acknowledge you as the temple keeper.

After doing all this, Nuwa slowly closed her eyes. She couldn't interfere with humanity's path, but she could protect one person.

At the same time, in the Human Ancestral Court, Huaxu felt a moment of trance. A broad and benevolent figure appeared before her eyes. It was the Holy Mother whom she had worshipped for ten Yuan. The Holy Mother's lips curved into a smile, and she gently said, "Yes!"

In an instant, everything shattered, and Huaxu returned to the Holy Mother Temple.

The Holy Mother responded to me!

Huaxu was overjoyed. The Holy Mother had agreed to build Nuwa City.

Huaxu respectfully kowtowed to the statue of Nuwa, then happily went to inform the Innate Humans. She was completely unaware that a phantom Red Embroidered Ball had appeared on her Destiny, and the heavenly secrets, which had become clearer after losing Nuwa's protection, had once again become blurry.

When Huaxu and the other Innate Humans gathered, the Human Sage Master Temple next to them had already been built. All that remained was to choose an auspicious date to invite the golden body of the Grand Pure Sage into the temple.
