Rewriting the Investiture of the Gods in the Primordial Era

"Our clan's young warriors discovered a Dharma Gate left behind by Saint Zhunti. It's said to be able to shatter the Ancestral Witch's divine body!"

Di Jun's eyes narrowed slightly. Shatter the Ancestral Witch's divine body? Is that true or false?

Di Jun took the scroll handed over by Kunpeng. Upon seeing the contents and the Dao charm on it, his situation was identical to Bifang's when he saw the scroll.

After reading the contents of the scroll, Di Jun fell silent, constantly weighing the pros and cons in his heart.

To be honest, Di Jun really didn't want to provoke humanity.

There was no more troublesome race in the entire Primordial Era. Their strength was lacking, but their background was immense. Leaving them alone was fine, but provoking them would be a huge hassle with no reward. Moreover, humanity posed no threat to the Demon Tribe in the short term, and the two races had no direct conflict.

In fact, humanity's conflict with the Witch Tribe was even greater. After all, both races lived on the land. The Witch Tribe even had to worry about humanity potentially fighting them for territory after they developed in the future.

But the Demon Tribe was different. The Demon Tribe resided in the nine heavens. As long as humanity hadn't surpassed the Witch Tribe and taken control of the land, they posed no threat to the Demon Tribe.

However, if the Ancestral Witch's divine body could be shattered, killing even one Ancestral Witch would break the Witch Tribe's Twelve Capital Celestial Gods Array. Once the array was broken, the entire Witch Tribe would be lambs to the slaughter!

Without the protection of the Twelve Capital Celestial Gods Array, with the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array activated, destroying the Witch Tribe wouldn't be difficult!

For a moment, Di Jun fell into indecision. Furthermore, no one could guarantee the accuracy of what was recorded on the scroll.

Most importantly, there were the attitudes of the two Saints. Humanity had two Saints standing behind them. If they made a move, offending the two Saints would be troublesome.

To put it bluntly, even though the Witch and Demon Tribes were fighting fiercely now, the Primordial Era was no longer dominated by the Witch and Demon Tribes. The current Primordial Era belonged to the Saints!

The Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array could barely possess Saint-level power. If they truly faced a Saint, they might only be able to contend with one or two. Moreover, Heavenly Dao Saints controlled the authority of heaven and earth. If they directly intervened to sever his connection with the Zhou Tian Star Dou, he might not even be able to deploy the array.

Seeing Di Jun hesitating, Kunpeng, as if guided by an unseen force, said, "Why not let the newly born tribesmen try? Humanity has existed for over ten million eons. During this time, several Grand Unity Demon Gods and many Grand Unity Demon Kings have been born in the clan. They haven't witnessed the might of a Saint, nor do they know humanity's foundation. We can use them to test the Saints' intentions."

"If the Saints pursue the matter, it means the younger generation didn't understand the heavenly mandate. If the Saints ignore it, then we can forge a Witch Slaying Sword first to see its effects. If it truly has the power to slay Ancestral Witches, we'll forge the Witch Slaying Sword to break the Witch Tribe's great array!"

"That makes sense!" Di Jun's eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded.

"Let's do it this way. Let the newly born tribesmen take action and test the waters first to see the Saints' attitude!"

"Good!" Kunpeng and Bifang nodded, and they left the Demon Emperor Palace.

After they left, they immediately mobilized a group of Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm Demon Kings and began their test.

On the southern border of humanity, a Lion Demon of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm landed. Staring at the human tribe before him, a cruel glint flashed in his eyes.

He had long wanted to taste these fragile humans, but the Demon Court had always strictly prohibited the Demon Tribe from engaging in conflict with humanity, even forbidding them from stepping into human territories. That's why he hadn't dared to try.

Now, the ban was lifted. I'll try the taste of human flesh first!

With his mind made up, the Lion Demon immediately transformed into a black wind and headed towards humanity, filling the sky with demonic energy.

Above human territory, a Golden Immortal sat cross-legged on a mountaintop, guarding the border between humanity and the Demon Tribe.

Although Jiang Haofeng didn't know the reason behind the Demon Tribe slaughtering humans to forge the Witch Slaying Sword, he was aware of the act of the Demon Tribe slaughtering humans to forge the Witch Slaying Sword. Naturally, he would also remind Suiren and the others to focus their defenses on the border between humanity and the Demon Tribe.

Even though Jiang Haofeng hadn't explained the reason, Suiren and the others, out of their recognition of Jiang Haofeng, still followed his advice.

The forces deployed at the border with the Witch Tribe in the north and the Dragon Clan in the west were not as strong as the forces deployed at the border with the Demon Tribe in the south.

A rolling demonic wind swept through the void, and the human Golden Immortal's expression changed drastically. Demonic energy rippled around him, and dense Grand Pure mana enveloped his body!

"This is the territory of my humanity. Why have you come, fellow Daoist of the Demon Tribe?"

"Hahahaha, human territory?"

"On what grounds? Just because you are a mere Golden Immortal? I am a Grand Unity Golden Immortal!"

"From today onwards, this is my territory, this Demon King's territory!"

The Lion Demon's mocking voice echoed through the void.

A cloud of black smoke swept past, and a giant yellow lion appeared in the void.

"Roar!"

A thunderous lion's roar resounded through heaven and earth, causing the human Golden Immortal's mana to vibrate uncontrollably, his Blood Essence surging, and his divine soul becoming unstable.

The human Golden Immortal's face turned pale with shock. He immediately activated his protective divine ability, Grand Pure Immortal Light, and a layer of golden light enveloped his body. Instantly, the mana within his body stabilized, his surging Blood Essence calmed down, and his divine soul returned to normal.

"Oh?"

"You have some skill!"

"Your humanity's Innate Divine Ability is quite profound!"

The yellow lion looked at the scene before him, a flicker of surprise in his huge eyes. Although it was just a casual roar, he was, after all, a Grand Unity, and the human opposite him was only a Golden Immortal. Yet, he managed to block it completely.

However, that was all.

"Swallow!"

The yellow lion looked at the human before him and opened its mouth, which was like an abyss. Instantly, a terrifying suction force surged out, drawing everything within a radius of ten thousand miles into its maw!

The human Golden Immortal was directly sucked into the void and flew towards the yellow lion's mouth!

The Grand Pure Immortal Light on the human Golden Immortal's body shone brightly, desperately trying to stabilize his posture, but under the absolute difference in strength, it was completely useless.

The human Golden Immortal's face hardened. He released his protective divine ability, Grand Pure Immortal Light, and gathered his mana. A golden profound light condensed in his palm – it was the offensive divine ability passed down by Saint Grand Pure – Grand Pure Profound Light!

With a flash of profound light, a golden profound light shot out, smashing into the yellow lion's mouth like lightning. The golden profound light directly penetrated the yellow lion's mouth.

The Profound Light entered its body, and the Yellow Lion's form flickered, a hint of shock flashing in its eyes.

What a powerful attack!

Wasn't this person before me just an ant in the Golden Immortal Realm? How could they unleash such a powerful attack?

If the person before me were a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, this strike would likely shatter my Innate Divine Ability, the very thing that sustains me.

The Yellow Lion, a Demon King who had relied entirely on himself since childhood, couldn't comprehend the gap between having a legacy and being self-taught.

Within humanity, there was the Grand Pure Great Dao directly passed down by the Grand Pure Saint, the Golden Core Great Dao for those not yet immortal, the Grand Pure Immortal Method after becoming immortal, along with the Ten Grand Pure Qi Wall, the protective divine ability Grand Pure Immortal Light, the offensive divine ability Grand Pure Profound Light, and the thirty-six great divine abilities personally passed down by the Dao Ancestor, among a series of other divine abilities.

With comprehensive nurturing, there were no shortcomings.

In contrast, the Yellow Lion relied on passively absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for cultivation. Only after joining the Demon Court did it obtain the most basic cultivation techniques, but those were merely rudimentary demon arts, utterly incomparable to Saint-level methods like the Grand Pure Immortal Method.

Its combat relied entirely on its Innate Divine Ability; besides that, it was pure physical combat.

The gap between them was immense. If not for this fundamental difference in cultivation, a human Golden Immortal wouldn't have been able to cultivate any of their divine abilities to a minor success; they were all at the introductory level. Without the ability to fight across realms, the Yellow Lion wouldn't have lasted even a few rounds against a proper human.

This was the difference between having a legacy and being self-taught. If their cultivation levels were the same, there would be no contest.

Of course, the Demon Tribe wasn't without its own legacies. However, any tribe with a legacy within the Demon Tribe would surely know of humanity's origins. Their elders had long ago issued warnings, and no one dared to act rashly.

If the Demon Tribe wanted to test humanity, they could only do so with those demons possessing no background.

The initial move was unsuccessful, and the suction force in the void only grew stronger. Seeing itself about to fall into its maw, the human Golden Immortal's eyes flashed with ferocity. He raised his hand and unleashed a Grand Pure Divine Thunder. However, just like the previous Profound Light, it was directly swallowed into its belly, without causing even the slightest ripple.

The human Golden Immortal didn't hold back and unleashed Grand Pure Divine Thunder after Grand Pure Divine Thunder. Even after swallowing several bolts, the Yellow Lion, a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, showed signs of pain. Gritting its teeth, it swallowed the human Golden Immortal into its maw!

Swallowing the human whole, the Yellow Lion's form flickered, transforming into its human shape. Patting its belly, it sneered, "Hmph, no matter what tricks you have, once you're in this Demon King's belly, I guarantee you'll turn into pus within three days!"

The Yellow Lion snorted coldly, stirring up a gust of demonic wind and heading towards the human territory. Before long, it spotted a human tribe of about ten thousand people. A savage look flashed across the Yellow Lion's face. Opening its maw, a gaping maw appeared in the sky, and a terrifying suction force swept out.

In an instant, countless humans were sucked into the sky and disappeared into the Yellow Lion's mouth. The dense mass of humanity, along with various items, houses, and trees, were all swallowed. Before long, the entire human tribe was left in ruins, with no one remaining.

The houses in the tribe were crooked and tilted, with various items scattered everywhere, as if a fierce wind had passed through.

After swallowing nearly ten thousand humans, the Yellow Lion's face showed satisfaction. Patting its belly, it continued deeper into human territory. It passed by three more tribes, all of which fell into the Yellow Lion's maw.

The Yellow Lion arrived at the fourth tribe and once again unleashed its divine ability. Tens of thousands of humans were instantly lifted into the air and flew towards the Yellow Lion's mouth!

"You court death!"

Suddenly, a sharp voice echoed through the void. The voice was like a cold winter spring, filled with endless iciness, causing the Yellow Lion to shiver involuntarily.

As soon as it looked up, it saw a bolt of lightning descend from the sky, striking heavily. The Dao rhythm contained within it was exactly the same as the lightning technique previously unleashed by the human Golden Immortal it had swallowed.

But it was only the Dao rhythm that was the same; the power was a completely different matter. Compared to the terrifying lightning before them, what was that previous lightning? It wasn't even a speck of electricity!

So powerful!

There are such powerful beings within humanity?

How is this possible!

The Yellow Lion's demonic energy surged, forming a shield of demonic energy to protect itself.

Boom!

The colossal lightning bolt struck, and the shield was instantly torn apart. The divine ability was directly interrupted, and the humans that had been sucked into the void instantly fell back to the ground. One by one, the humans rejoiced and immediately unleashed their mana to stabilize their bodies, landing steadily on the ground with faces full of relief from near-death.

That was close!

I almost got eaten.

"Thank you, ancestor, for saving us!"

One by one, the humans knelt respectfully on the ground, bowing to Zhizhi in the void.

The Yellow Lion in the void, having taken a bolt of lightning, was instantly reverted to its original form. The massive Yellow Lion immediately turned into charred meat, its fur blackened, radiating a roasted aroma, with dense lightning bolts flickering across its body. It fell rigidly to the ground.

Its aura was extremely weak, only able to exhale, not inhale.

Zhizhi, with a frosty expression, slowly appeared in the void, her eyes filled with killing intent as she gazed at the Yellow Lion!
