Rewriting the Investiture of the Gods in the Primordial Era

Although there are twenty-four Ancestors within the Hidden Lineage, the other twenty-three Ancestors await Ancestor Haofeng's command.

"No need for formalities!" Jiang Haofeng nodded.

After everyone rose, Jiang Haofeng surveyed them and spoke, "Time flows like a river; twelve hundred million years have passed. All of you have achieved the Golden Immortal realm and strengthened humanity. This is truly cause for celebration!"

"It's all thanks to Ancestor Haofeng's guidance!" the five thousand humans said in unison.

Jiang Haofeng smiled, not dwelling on the topic, and said, "I've gathered you all today because there's something I wish to discuss."

"All of you present are Golden Immortals, free from worries about lifespan, and can serve as humanity's foundation."

"I intend to form a Human Clan Army, composed of Golden Immortals, to protect humanity!"

Jiang Haofeng had already discussed these matters with the other twenty-three Human Ancestors, and they had all unanimously agreed.

"We shall obey the Ancestor's commands!"

The five thousand people from the Hidden Lineage below spoke in unison.

"Very well, starting today, one thousand four hundred and seventy-five Innate Humans will form an army named the Heavenly Gang Battalion. Three thousand seven hundred and twenty-one Acquired Humans will form an army named the Earth Fiend Battalion. These two battalions of warriors will be our clan's army, safeguarding our peace!"

"Yes!"

The two battalions responded in unison.

"The two battalions will be organized into units of five, with a squad leader. Five squads will form a platoon, with a platoon leader. Four platoons will form a company, with a captain. Five companies will form a division, with a general!"

"Zhuxiang, Haoying, and Getian, the three Clan Elders, will join the Heavenly Gang Battalion as Heavenly Gang Generals, leading the Heavenly Gang Battalion!"

"Yanghou, Wuhuai, Jinti, Goujiang, Jitong, Zhongqi, Susha, and Ranxiang, eight individuals, will join the Earth Fiend Battalion as Earth Fiend Generals, leading the Earth Fiend Battalion."

"The Earth Fiend Battalion's eight divisions will have their first seven divisions fully staffed. The last division will temporarily have two hundred and twenty-one members, and suitable candidates will be recruited to fill it later!"

As Jiang Haofeng finished speaking, eleven of the Clan Elders stepped forward and stood with the crowd.

Once the eleven generals were in place, the over five thousand people below divided themselves into eleven small groups, each consisting of around five hundred individuals.

"The eleven generals have been decided. As for the remaining officer positions within each division, they will be determined by their respective generals, prioritizing cultivation!"

"The strong rise, the weak fall!"

As the words fell, a spark flashed in the eyes of the assembled humans.

Jiang Haofeng smiled slightly; this was precisely the effect he desired.

Over the years, Jiang Haofeng had managed the Hidden Lineage strictly according to military discipline.

The Martial Dao is not like the Immortal Path. The Martial Dao thrives on competition and combat, unlike the Immortal Path. Secluded meditation is far less effective than mutual sparring for rapid advancement.

While the Hidden Lineage cannot leave Central Phoenix Mountain to challenge experts in the Primordial Era for now, there are plenty of formidable individuals within Central Phoenix Mountain itself, providing ample opponents.

The Martial Dao, especially for Innate Humans, is closely related to military camps. Soldiers honed in the army and forged in battle will undoubtedly be stronger than their peers of the same cultivation level.

Jiang Haofeng's original plan was to mold the Hidden Lineage into a top-tier protective clan army.

"Everyone, in the Heavenly Court, the Demon Emperor has used the River Diagram and Luo Book as the core of the formation, refining the Zhou Tian Star Dou Banners to deploy the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array. The Witch Tribe possesses the Twelve Capital Celestial Gods Array, which can merge the power of the Twelve Ancestral Witches to contend with powerful beings!"

"Individually, the Twelve Ancestral Witches are formidable, but there are many who can match them. However, when the Twelve Ancestral Witches unite, who in the Primordial Era dares to contend against them?"

"Our humanity's Martial Dao originates from the Witch Tribe. I wish to emulate the Witch Tribe's Twelve Capital Celestial Gods Array and practice our human battle formations, pooling everyone's strength to eliminate powerful enemies."

As he spoke, Jiang Haofeng began to direct the army to unleash their malevolent energy, gathering and condensing their auras as he attempted to explore the possibilities of practicing battle formations. Simultaneously, the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Book in his mind lit up with profound light, assisting in the deduction of battle formation techniques.

Ten years later, everyone dispersed and returned to their respective homes to cultivate.

Jiang Haofeng sat cross-legged on a futon. In those ten years, he had only managed to fuse the malevolent energy. However, after gathering, it remained merely a mass of energy, unable to unleash powerful force.

Nevertheless, with the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Book, Jiang Haofeng had gained some insight. He planned to deduce further on his own and would reconvene the army in a hundred years to test the battle formations again.

If the Twelve Capital Celestial Gods Array could be formed, then battle formations could certainly be achieved. The Primordial Era was not lacking in time; they would take it slow, and eventually, they would deduce a suitable battle formation method for humanity.

Jiang Haofeng surveyed his surroundings, observing the sparsely populated Nuwa City. After some thought, he struck the golden bell again, this time using his magical power.

Soon, forty-nine Innate Humans reassembled. Humanity's third clan meeting was convened.

Jiang Haofeng proposed selecting those with exceptional talent from the Manifest Lineage to join the Hidden Lineage and inherit the Martial Dao.

The Hidden Lineage had three hundred thousand members, both male and female. Over the past ten thousand eons, many descendants had been born, but all of them had been sent to the Manifest Lineage and had not remained in the Hidden Lineage.

If the descendants of the Hidden Lineage were kept within Nuwa City, it would not be long before the entire city was filled. The population of the Hidden Lineage would rapidly exceed ten billion. However, this was not what Jiang Haofeng desired, nor what humanity needed.

If they were to do so, humanity would simply have another powerful tribe, not much different from the tribes within the outer Manifest Lineage.

Furthermore, if this continued, the people of the Hidden Lineage would become estranged from the outer Manifest Lineage. Instead of being a Hidden Lineage that protected humanity, it would become a distorted tribe that considered itself superior to all others.

The members of the Hidden Lineage should be selected from the Manifest Lineage. They should grow up in the tribes from a young age and then join the Hidden Lineage for cultivation, thus avoiding estrangement from the Manifest Lineage humans.

This approach would also maximize the guarantee of talent and strength among the Hidden Lineage humans.

Of course, this selection would not take all the prodigies from the Manifest Lineage. Only the absolute top prodigies would be brought over; the remaining clan members were still needed in the Manifest Lineage to protect the tribes' safety.

All the Innate Humans agreed without any objections. The development of the Hidden Lineage in recent years was evident to all; it had truly cultivated a large number of powerhouses for humanity.

In terms of peak strength alone, excluding the three Grand Luo Golden Immortals among them, the Hidden Lineage's strength had completely surpassed the Manifest Lineage, and it was an absolute suppression.

Even they were surprised by this. The number of prodigies was the same, and there were many unselected prodigies within the Manifest Lineage. The Manifest Lineage also inherited the Grand Pure Immortal Method, yet their cultivation speed was disheartening, and the number of powerhouses produced was far inferior to the Hidden Lineage.

Finally, everyone had no choice but to attribute the reason to the unique environment of the Hidden Lineage.

The Innate Humans felt this deeply. While in the Hidden Lineage, they felt an irresistible urge to cultivate diligently. The entire Hidden Lineage was cultivating diligently, making it impossible for them not to do the same. Once outside, they truly lost this feeling.

If not for the fact that the Grand Pure Immortal Method wasn't suited for relentless cultivation and required a calm mind to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth, they would have stayed on Central Phoenix Mountain to cultivate.

With the clan meeting setting the tone, a batch of prodigies would be selected from the Manifest Lineage every hundred years to enter Central Phoenix Mountain and inherit the Martial Dao. Thus, the third clan meeting of humanity concluded.

Afterward, the Hidden Lineage once again entered a period of arduous cultivation. Time flowed by, and in the blink of an eye, another three thousand epochs had passed.

On this day, Jiang Haofeng felt a surge of enlightenment. In an instant, a terrifying suction force erupted, and boundless innate spiritual energy poured into Jiang Haofeng's body. As this spiritual energy continuously flowed into him, his aura grew stronger and stronger.

Boundless Xuanhuang light shone upon Jiang Haofeng, and his body strengthened at a speed visible to the naked eye. As time passed, his body emanated a treasure-like radiance, as indestructible as primordial divine metal. A surge of power welled up in his heart, and an unprecedented strength filled his body, as if he could shatter an ancient star with a single palm strike.

A vast river of time descended. Countless figures flashed within the river, eventually transforming into an illusionary image of Jiang Haofeng, which merged into his body.

Thus, he achieved the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm, transcending the river of time and severing his past and future.

After thirteen thousand epochs, through his own efforts, Jiang Haofeng finally achieved the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm, becoming the first person in humanity to reach the Grand Luo realm without relying on merit!

To be precise, Jiang Haofeng shouldn't be called a Grand Luo Golden Immortal. After all, he didn't cultivate the Immortal Path, lacking the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown and the Five Energies Returning to the Origin. All he possessed was the great Witch's treasure body, capable of breaking all laws with sheer power!

No, it should be the Martial Dao True Body!

The moment Jiang Haofeng broke through, all the Saints in the Primordial Era sensed it. On Kunlun Mountain, the Three Pure Ones simultaneously opened their eyes. The Grand Pure Sage silently withdrew his gaze, glanced at Xuandu, who was at the peak of Grand Unity Golden Immortal, and said nothing before resuming his lecture.

The Primal Heavenly Lord's gaze flickered. Of the three thousand innate humans, fifteen hundred were disciples of the Humanity Teaching, and the remaining fifteen hundred were disciples of his sister Nuwa, and also disciples of the Xuanmen.

Among the Xuanmen's Four Sects and one lineage, the first to break through to the Grand Luo Immortal realm was a member of humanity.

Humanity's Haofeng truly possessed exceptional talent.

Looking at his disciples below, the Primal Heavenly Lord said, "Cultivation requires diligence. You must not be negligent."

As his voice fell, an Ethereal Jade immortal light flashed, and the Primal Heavenly Lord's figure disappeared, leaving behind a group of bewildered disciples.

"We respectfully obey our master's command and will cultivate diligently."

After a moment of hesitation, the future Twelve Golden Immortals of Jade Void, led by Guang Chengzi, bowed in unison.

"Senior Brother, does Master think our cultivation is too slow?" Cihang Daoist asked the moment they left the Jade Void Palace.

"It should be so," Guang Chengzi nodded.

"It's only been over ten thousand epochs, and we've already reached Grand Unity Golden Immortal. And he thinks that's slow," Cihang Daoist muttered to himself.

To have reached Grand Unity Golden Immortal from Golden Immortal after ten thousand epochs of studying under a Saint was an absolutely top-tier speed in the Primordial Era.

"We are disciples of a Saint and listen to his teachings. This rate of cultivation is indeed letting down Master's expectations."

"Master lectures us once every ten thousand years. This rate of progress is truly a bit slow. Among the countless beings in the Primordial Era, how many have the fortune to hear a Saint lecture even once?"

"Our fortune is so profound, yet our cultivation is somewhat slow. We must cultivate diligently in the future and not tarnish our Master's prestige!" Guang Chengzi said with a solemn expression.

"Yes, Senior Brother!"

All the Immortals of Jade Void saluted in agreement.

As the foremost Immortal of Jade Void and the first to ring the golden bell, Guang Chengzi held considerable prestige among the Immortals of Jade Void.

At the same time, the Master of Enduring Teachings in the Azure Palace also stopped his lecture. Looking at the myriad immortals below, he said, "Under the Xuanmen, among the Four Sects and one lineage, humanity has already produced a Grand Luo Immortal. You must cultivate diligently and not disgrace the might of our Jie Teaching!"

The three thousand innate humans of the past were all registered disciples of the Grand Pure Sage. Although not direct disciples nor outer disciples, they were considered disciples of the Humanity Teaching and also third-generation inheritors of the Xuanmen. However, it was obvious that the humans of the original timeline were clearly no match for the Four Sects.

Jiang Haofeng's transmigration had unknowingly changed much for humanity. Not to mention anything else, humanity's strength was definitely many times greater than in the original timeline.

Mount Sumeru!

The Western Two Sages also turned their gaze towards the region of humanity.

Humanity
