Rewriting the Investiture of the Gods in the Primordial Era

The remaining eighty percent descended towards humanity's direction. On Shouyang Mountain, the Grand Pure Sage opened his eyes. The Taiji Diagram behind him unfurled, immediately obscuring the scene before him.

The Witch and Demon races had not yet fallen into decline. It was not suitable for humanity to attract too much attention. The fact that the two Sages had a connection with humanity already made humanity appear very special. If merit continued to descend one after another, humanity would truly become a target of public criticism.

Of the eighty percent of merit that descended, forty percent directly entered Nuwa City. In an instant, lights of merit shone upon the city, and the entire city instantly became more substantial.

The remaining forty percent of merit, along with twenty percent of destiny, directly entered Jiang Haofeng's body. The remaining twenty percent transformed into countless light spots and merged into the bodies of all those who had contributed. Any human who participated in the construction of Nuwa City received merit.

Jiang Haofeng directly ignored this merit. The merit from the construction of Nuwa City was comparable to the merit from the Heavenly Secret Nine Lot, let alone his own twenty percent. Holding the merit of educating humanity, Jiang Haofeng did not put such merit in his eyes at all.

At the same time, a profound and mysterious realization appeared in Jiang Haofeng's consciousness. The acquired Merit Spirit Treasure had derived a special ability—anti-flight!

Those below the Golden Immortal realm were forbidden from flying within Nuwa City.

Jiang Haofeng was stunned. Anti-flight, this was somewhat interesting, but it was only useful against those below the Golden Immortal realm, making it somewhat redundant.

In the Primordial Era, anyone of significance had a cultivation level above Golden Immortal. This item could only restrain some minions. However, it was better than nothing!

After all, the important aspect of Nuwa City was its name. As long as the word "Nuwa" was displayed on the city walls, no one would dare to trespass, even if it were just a fence.

With the completion of Nuwa City, humanity resumed its peaceful development. They were not targeted by others despite the loss of the Sages' protection. Humanity's life was no different from before.

Of course, many Great Divine Powers had visited humanity, but with humanity's current situation, no one had discovered anything significant.

These Great Divine Powers walked among the various tribes of the Xiongan Vein, observing. Finally, they looked at the Human Ancestral Court, protected by the Two Forms Micro Dust Great Array, and turned to leave.

One day, Jiang Haofeng was cultivating the Nine Revolutions Profound Art in his wooden house when suddenly, a voice pierced through the Two Forms Micro Dust Great Array and reached his ears.

"I am Minghe, and I have come to visit humanity. I request the Lord of Humanity to show himself!"

The vast voice echoed through heaven and earth. Faint yellow ripples even appeared in the void; this was the Two Forms Micro Dust Great Array that enveloped the Human Ancestral Court. It was clear that with Minghe's strength, he could completely shake the Two Forms Micro Dust Great Array before them.

Whether he could break it was uncertain, but at least he could shake it.

Jiang Haofeng frowned. Old Ancestor Minghe of the Sea of Blood, why had he come?

This was no easy opponent. Born from the boundless Sea of Blood, he wielded the Yuan Tu and A Bi swords, two Killing Dao Supreme Treasures. Each was an Ultimate Innate Spirit Treasure and was among the most skilled offensive innate spirit treasures. He also possessed the Twelve-Grade Karma Red Lotus, a top-tier defensive supreme treasure in the Primordial Era.

With both offense and defense at the peak, his strength was among the very best. At the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm, he was undoubtedly one of the strongest below the Sages. Coupled with his four hundred and eighty million Blood God Sons, he was known as "As long as the Sea of Blood does not dry, Minghe will not die."

He was arguably the hardest to kill among those below the Sages.

Why had such a master come to humanity?

This was going to be troublesome.

Jiang Haofeng's figure moved, and he disappeared from the wooden house. In the void, a group of Innate Humans had already emerged.

The moment Jiang Haofeng appeared, the Innate Humans instantly focused their gazes on him, their eyes filled with inquiry, awaiting Jiang Haofeng's decision.

Jiang Haofeng inwardly smiled bitterly. If his guess was correct, this visitor was here for the matter of proving the Dao. Old Ancestor Minghe was already among the strongest below the Sages and had the strongest desire to prove the Dao.

Humanity had successively produced two Sages, Nuwa and Taiqing. Old Ancestor Minghe was bound to come to the human territory to investigate.

Old Ancestor Minghe had openly requested a visit and was not forcing his way in. He came forthrightly. Nuwa City, constructed by Jiang Haofeng, had no use for him. Let alone Nuwa City, he even had the qualifications to visit Wa Huang Palace.

Nuwa had the right to refuse directly, but humanity did not. If he refused to meet him today, he feared he would incur great karma with Old Ancestor Minghe.

Incurring karma with Old Ancestor Minghe would be a huge problem.

Jiang Haofeng felt helpless. Honestly, Jiang Haofeng truly did not want Old Ancestor Minghe to come and "visit," but given Old Ancestor Minghe's seniority and cultivation, he really couldn't refuse.

Fine, let him see. After all, Old Ancestor Minghe would not participate in the Witch-Demon War, and his impact on humanity would be minimal. With Empress Nuwa and the Grand Pure Sage supporting humanity, Old Ancestor Minghe would not likely speak carelessly.

Jiang Haofeng's thoughts raced. However, even if he allowed him to see, he had to find a way to make Minghe owe humanity some karma. After thinking of so many ways to conceal humanity's situation, he had to leave some benefits behind.

With a plan in mind, Jiang Haofeng looked at Suiren and the others and said, "Let's go. Old Ancestor Minghe is a renowned great power in the Primordial Era. We should go and greet him!"

Ripples appeared in the void. Haofeng, Suiren, Da Chao, and Zhisheng left the coverage of the Two Forms Micro Dust Great Array. They saw an old man standing in the void, wearing a crimson lotus robe, with sharp eyes and a nose like a hawk's beak.

He exuded no powerful aura, appearing like an ordinary person, but his brow carried an air of unyielding defiance. The moment their eyes met, their minds momentarily faltered.

It was an indescribable feeling, as if one were witnessing the vast and majestic heavens and earth, the sky infinitely high, the earth boundlessly wide, and oneself as insignificant as dust.

Like a mayfly in the universe, incomparable.

This was not a matter of strength or weakness, but an absolute gap in life's hierarchy.

If he guessed correctly, this was the difference between a Sage and an Immortal, the difference between the Great Dao and laws. A Quasi-Saint was also a Saint, one standing at the level of laws, the other at the level of the Great Dao. Their strength did not need comparison.

No matter how powerful a Grand Luo Golden Immortal was, they were no match for a Quasi-Saint because they couldn't comprehend the Great Dao. They were absolutely no match for the Great Dao. Even the most powerful law force was vulnerable before the Great Dao. Once the Great Dao was comprehended, a Grand Luo Golden Immortal could achieve Quasi-Saint status on the spot.

If Quasi-Saints were like this, one could imagine how powerful Sages were.

Even though Sages had never revealed their true aura before others, just looking at Old Ancestor Minghe now allowed one to envision the might of a Sage.

Old Ancestor Minghe swept his gaze over the four. Suiren and the other two Grand Luo Golden Immortals did not attract the slightest attention. Old Ancestor Minghe simply passed them by.

They were just three Grand Luo Golden Immortals; there was nothing special about them. The Primordial Era had plenty of them.

Old Ancestor Minghe's gaze fell upon Jiang Haofeng, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Such dense merit.

"Merit Auspicious Cloud?"

"Unknowingly, the Primordial Era has gained another Golden Immortal of Virtue."

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist."

"May I know your name, fellow Daoist?"

Old Ancestor Minghe cupped his hands slightly towards Jiang Haofeng, addressing him as "fellow Daoist."

In the Primordial Era, even a mortal being who hadn't achieved immortality, if they possessed a nascent Golden Wheel of Merit, could immediately become a True Immortal. A solidified Golden Wheel of Merit allowed for immediate advancement to a Mystic Immortal. A brilliant Golden Wheel of Merit could immediately make one a Golden Immortal.

A minor accomplishment in the Merit Golden Body could lead to immediate advancement to Grand Unity Golden Immortal, a major accomplishment to Grand Luo Golden Immortal, and a perfected Merit Golden Body could allow one to immediately achieve Quasi-Saint status.

The person before him had a perfected Merit Golden Body, with surplus merit condensed into Merit Auspicious Clouds. His merit was so immense it spanned heaven and earth. As long as he willed it, he could achieve Primordial Golden Immortal status in an instant.

With such vast merit, regardless of whether he utilized it or not, Old Ancestor Minghe saw him as equivalent to a Quasi-Saint mighty figure, a true master of Great Divine Powers.

At this point, even though the person before him was a junior, he was worthy of being called a fellow Daoist. Ultimately, the Primordial Era revered power, and strength was the foundation for establishing oneself.

A Primordial Golden Immortal, a Quasi-Saint mighty figure, no matter how junior, was still a powerful being in the Primordial Era. Unless there was a direct master-disciple relationship, anyone they met would have to address them as "fellow Daoist."

Jiang Haofeng's heart leaped with joy, and he immediately cupped his hands in return, saying, "Fellow Daoist Minghe is too kind. My name is Haofeng!"

Being addressed as a fellow Daoist by Old Ancestor Minghe meant that the two were now considered peers, no longer a senior facing a junior. This way, in conversations with Old Ancestor Minghe, humanity would not be at a natural disadvantage, obtaining the qualification for equal dialogue.

This would make it easier to have Old Ancestor Minghe owe humanity a karma.

Having set his intentions, Jiang Haofeng's face broke into a smile, and he spoke, "May I ask, Fellow Daoist Minghe, what brings you to our humanity?"

Before Old Ancestor Minghe could speak, Jiang Haofeng immediately said with an apologetic expression, "Fellow Daoist, your visit is an honor. I should invite you inside and treat you with fine delicacies. However, our humanity is currently facing a major event that concerns our very survival, making it truly inconvenient to invite you in."

"I sincerely hope for your understanding. Should our humanity stabilize in the future, I will certainly call upon you to offer my apologies!"

Saying this, Jiang Haofeng bowed to Old Ancestor Minghe once more.

Jiang Haofeng's words instantly silenced Old Ancestor Minghe.

The purpose of Old Ancestor Minghe's visit to Central Phoenix Mountain was to probe humanity's background. Sage Nuwa achieved sainthood by creating humanity, and Grand Pure Sage achieved sainthood by educating humanity.

In the Primordial Era, of the Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao designated by the Dao Ancestor, four had now taken their positions, and two of them were connected to humanity.

Humanity must hold a great secret!

Old Ancestor Minghe was born at the beginning of Heaven Opening Earth Splitting. He once joined a group of innate divine spirits in slaying the chaotic fierce beasts formed from the corpses of Chaos gods and demons, eradicating all the fierce beasts that roamed the Primordial Era!

He was of the same generation as Ancestral Dragon, Yuan Feng, and the First Qilin. Old Ancestor Minghe was a witness to the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity, a participant in the Demonic Path Calamity, and was also among the Three Thousand Guests of Zixiao Palace.

In terms of seniority, Old Ancestor Minghe was second to none. To put it bluntly, if others could prove their Dao and become Sages, why couldn't he?

After cultivating for countless eons, his Killing Dao laws had reached great mastery. When Hongjun imparted the method of severing the Three Corpses, he instantly severed all three. In the entire Primordial Era, how many could compare to him?

Originally, with the Sea of Blood, he was among the absolute top-tier beings in the Primordial Era, fearless of anything. With the Sea of Blood, even those three incredibly powerful figures, Ancestral Dragon, Yuan Feng, and the First Qilin, could not do anything to him.

However, good times did not last. Saints appeared. Hongjun achieved sainthood by severing the Three Corpses. Old Ancestor Minghe could sense that overwhelming, transcendent power. Hongjun possessed the strength to obliterate him.

At this, Old Ancestor Minghe instantly panicked.

Everyone had been living quite comfortably, and then you became a Saint?

Originally, there was a path for further advancement, giving the innate great deities a direction to progress. This was a good thing, but if the Saint wasn't oneself, then it was terrible.

A great mountain instantly appeared above his head, and this mountain even possessed the power to obliterate him.

Old Ancestor Minghe instantly dropped from the first tier of the Primordial Era to the second tier. How could this be tolerated?

He absolutely had to achieve sainthood!

He didn't have Hongmeng Purple Qi, but wasn't that one from Hongyun gone? Besides, who said he couldn't become a Saint without Hongmeng Purple Qi?

Back then, Hongjun didn't have anyone give him Hongmeng Purple Qi.

Thus, Old Ancestor Minghe began to pursue the path to sainthood. Humanity was so special, and he had to investigate. This was also the reason Old Ancestor Minghe risked offending Saints to visit.

Who would have thought he'd be blocked before he could even speak?

Old Ancestor Minghe hesitated for a moment, a look of resolve flashing in his eyes. He looked at Jiang Haofeng earnestly and said, "Fellow Daoist Haofeng, I won't beat around the bush. Two Saints achieved their sainthood through humanity; humanity must possess something special."

"This concerns the opportunity to achieve the Dao. I implore Fellow Daoist Haofeng to allow me a glimpse. Regardless of whether I achieve the Dao or not, I will owe your humanity a karma!"
