Rewriting the Investiture of the Gods in the Primordial Era

It's not even worth mentioning!

Humanity's greatest foundation has always been its two Saints. Both Saints achieved their Dao through humanity, forging an unbreakable bond with our race from birth.

What Jiang Haofeng did wasn't merely borrowing prestige; humanity inherently possesses such prestige. Jiang Haofeng simply brought it to light.

To disrupt this planned massacre, one could only approach it from this angle, leveraging the power of the two Saints. Only then could Di Jun be made to hesitate.

Otherwise, facing just their eight Grand Luo Golden Immortals and dozens of Grand Unity Golden Immortals, Di Jun wouldn't even deign to glance at them.

"Haofeng is right!"

Da Chao, who had been contemplating, spoke up. "If I were that lion demon, even if my life were spared, I wouldn't feel grateful. I'd only resent humanity more."

"Whether they kill or don't kill, it doesn't change the outcome. His arrival means the two races have forged karma."

The surrounding human clan elders nodded in agreement.

As beings sculpted by Empress Nuwa herself, everyone possessed exceptional talent and extraordinary intelligence. With a moment's thought, they grasped the crux of the matter.

"No, it's not necessarily the two races forging karma. It's also possible that the yellow lion and I have forged karma," Jiang Haofeng said, narrowing his eyes.

Jiang Haofeng had already deciphered the Demon Tribe's motive. They had lifted the ban but hadn't issued orders, clearly aiming to provoke ordinary demons into testing the Saints' stance.

If the Saints were angered, they would sacrifice ordinary demons to take the blame. If the Saints remained indifferent, then humanity would be massacred to forge the Witch Slaying Sword!

Seeing the confused looks from the elders around him, Jiang Haofeng began to explain, omitting the details about the Witch Slaying Sword. The elders immediately understood.

"How sinister of the Demon Tribe!"

"Then, what should our humanity do?"

Suiren's voice faded, and the gazes of the human clan elders once again fell upon Jiang Haofeng.

"Let's observe the Demon Tribe's actions first. Mobilize all cultivators above Mystic Immortal within the clan to the border between the two races, in preparation for a Demon Tribe attack!"

A gleam flashed in Jiang Haofeng's eyes, and an idea formed in his mind.

The yellow lion was merely the first demon, not the last. With the lifting of the ban, more and more demons entered human territory, intending to teach this weak race a lesson!

They had long been fed up with this race, which was weak in power and disrespectful to them.

In an instant, numerous demons began invading human territory. However, humanity had mobilized all the strong cultivators from the entire Manifestation Vein. Although humanity was weak, it was only when compared to the entire Witch-Demon race. A few scattered demons posed no threat to humanity, and they were all swiftly killed!

As time passed, more and more demons were slain. The nearby demon tribes became instantly enraged. Coupled with the lifting of the ban, several Great Demon Kings at the peak of Grand Unity Golden Immortal led a large throng of demons to attack humanity!

Demonic energy surged through the void, and demonic clouds blotted out the sky. Although they lacked the imposing aura of the Demon Tribe's regular armies, their presence was still formidable. The entire southern border of humanity was enveloped by demonic energy!

"Insignificant humanity, a mere speck of dust, ignorant of the heavens and earth, daring to oppose my Demon Tribe!"

"Today, I shall raze your human race!"

Amidst the horde of demons, a colossal tiger demon roared!

"Kill!"

As the tiger demon's roar echoed, hundreds of thousands of demons charged towards human territory.

Meanwhile, within human territory, nearly a hundred thousand humans stood in the void. Each of them radiated potent Grand Pure Immortal Light, with pure light surging around them. Every single one was a cultivator above Mystic Immortal.

Nearly a hundred thousand humans stood together, their pure light coalescing into a single expanse, covering half the sky. The air was filled with a refreshing fragrance, and immortal light intertwined, truly possessing an immortal demeanor!

As the hundreds of thousands of demons charged forward, Suiren, Da Chao, Zhisheng, and Lieshan, the four Grand Luo Golden Immortals, broke through the air. Their immense Grand Unity might swept out, and dense Grand Pure Divine Thunder gathered in the void, forming a vast ocean of lightning in the sky. Instantly, a world-destroying might surged forth.

In that moment, the charging horde of demons came to an abrupt halt, retreating step by step. These were Grand Luo Golden Immortals. Without a Demon God leading them, wasn't this akin to rushing to their deaths?

The horde stopped, gazing at the surging immortal light before them. Hesitation appeared on their faces, and a desire to retreat immediately arose in their hearts.

The faces of the few Great Demon Kings at the peak of Grand Unity Golden Immortal turned grim. With a forceful wave of their hands, the vast horde of demons instantly withdrew. Before long, the heavens and earth returned to their former tranquility.

Suiren and the other three returned to human territory.

Although there were no casualties and the demon horde had been directly repelled, the expressions of everyone present were exceptionally solemn.

Everyone understood the strength of the Demon Tribe. The current situation was merely a minor skirmish by the demons residing south of humanity. The true core of the Demon Tribe lay within the Demon Court in the Nine Heavens.

The next time they came, the Demon Tribe's strength would undoubtedly not be so weak.

Within the Demon Tribe's territory, over a dozen Great Demon Kings at the peak of Grand Unity Golden Immortal gathered.

"There are actually Grand Luo Golden Immortals within humanity? Such a weak race, yet they can produce Grand Luo Golden Immortals?"

One demon king spoke with utter disbelief.

"Exactly! In a human tribe of tens of thousands, you can barely find a few True Immortals, yet there are surprisingly many experts," another demon king nodded, still feeling a lingering fear.

The scene just now had almost scared him to death. Four Grand Luo Golden Immortals had appeared. Fortunately, it was humanity. If it had been the Witch Tribe, with four Great Witches present, perhaps only half of the demons who went today would have returned alive.

"Hmph, it's just because they have numbers. That vast expanse of individuals, though individually weak in cultivation, when gathered in large numbers, there are bound to be a few powerful ones."

"Those hundred thousand immortals and four Grand Luo today likely represent all of humanity's experts."

"Who knows how many humans it took to gather such a small number of experts. In our Demon Tribe, they could be annihilated with a casual wave of the hand!"

A disdainful voice sounded, and a gloomy old man sneered.

As his words fell, the surrounding demons nodded in agreement.

What are four Grand Luo Golden Immortals? The entire Demon Tribe has over a thousand Demon Gods. Four Grand Luo Golden Immortals are nothing!

Those gathered here today are all inherently arrogant demons. In their eyes, the Demon Tribe is supreme in the Primordial Era. They usually don't even pay attention to the Witch Tribe, let alone humanity.

Although there isn't a single Grand Luo Golden Immortal present, the four Grand Luo Golden Immortals of humanity are completely disregarded by them. They are merely four Grand Luo Golden Immortals. Our Demon Tribe has a thousand Demon Gods; why should we fear four Grand Luo Golden Immortals from humanity?

"I'm going to the Demon Court to request the Demon Gods to take action and annihilate humanity, so they can witness the might of our Demon Tribe!"

"Brothers, will you accompany me?"

A man in golden robes stood in the void and addressed the demons.

"Let's go, let's go!"

"We must have the Demon Gods avenge us and destroy humanity!"

"Exactly, exactly!"

A crowd of Grand Unity Demon Kings chimed in.

After the Grand Demon Kings conferred and gathered a group of Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm Demon Kings, all the demons headed towards the Demon Court.

Meanwhile, at the Demon Court, Kunpeng summoned seven Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm Demon Gods and instructed them to go to the southern regions of the Primordial Era to gather demons and form demon soldiers, preparing for the Witch-Demon War. Of course, this was just a pretext, usually employed after a scheme was exposed.

These seven Grand Luo Demon Gods were all born after humanity emerged and had cultivated to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm.

The seven of them knew about humanity's situation. As Grand Luo Golden Immortals, they were privy to many secrets of the Primordial Era. They knew of Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao, and they also knew humanity's origin.

Anyone who could cultivate to Grand Luo Golden Immortal wouldn't be foolish enough not to know about the Saints.

However, they were all born after humanity's emergence. This meant they could claim ignorance of the Saints backing humanity.

While it was obvious to anyone with a discerning eye, it at least provided an avenue for maneuverability.

Some matters, though known, could not be used as justification for action. This was the difference between karma and dislike.

With proper handling, it might displease a Saint, but it wouldn't create karma with them. Displeasing a Saint merely meant not being favored, and out of consideration for their reputation, they wouldn't take action to resolve the karma. But if karma was established with a Saint, then the Saint would naturally have a reason to act.

This applied not only to Saints but to all cultivators in the Primordial Era. They were all powerful beings who cared about their reputation and acted with justification. Of course, if they acted without reason, they would inevitably incur karma with the other party. However, after death, karma would disappear!

Naturally, there were those who reasoned and those who didn't. Those who acted without reason, regardless of justification, and acted solely on their whims were generally called demons!

The previous era's Great Tribulation of Dao and Demons had clearly shown everyone in the Primordial Era the consequences of being a demon!

The current Primordial Era was one where the Dao flourished and demons declined. The Xuanmen was ascendant!

As members of the Xuanmen Orthodox and righteous cultivators, they naturally had legitimate reasons for their actions and adhered to the principles of karma.

These seven were the only Grand Luo Golden Immortals in the entire Demon Tribe born and breaking through after humanity's emergence. There were only seven of them in the entire Demon Tribe!

In the last tens of thousands of eons, the Demon Tribe had produced no small number of Grand Luo Golden Immortals. If nothing else, there were at least a hundred. However, these Grand Luo Golden Immortals usually had very long lifespans. At the dawn of humanity, many of them were already Golden Immortals or Grand Unity Golden Immortals.

The only ones who could act legitimately in the Demon Tribe were these seven.

The seven Demon Gods descended to the lower realm and met with the crowd of Grand Unity Demon Kings in the void. After a brief exchange, they quickly reached a consensus, and hundreds of demons descended together.

With the seven Demon Gods descending, the demon tribes in the southern territories erupted in a frenzy. Ten thousand demons roared, and in a flash, nearly a million demons had gathered, surging towards humanity's territory.

This time, the momentum was even greater than during the previous offensive!

After all, this time, the Demon Tribe had seven Demon Gods leading the charge. What could humanity's Grand Luo Golden Immortals do?

The sky filled with demons, and a vast demonic aura swept out. The two races confronted each other at the border once more!

In the void, seven powerful auras of Demon Gods surged forth, their terrifying presence shaking the very fabric of space.

From humanity's side, Suiren, Da Chao, Zhisheng, and Lieshan immediately unleashed their own auras, deflecting the pressure from the demons.

Jiang Haofeng, standing behind the four, glanced at the seven Demon Gods and felt a sense of relief. Fortunately, five were early-stage Grand Luo, and two were mid-stage Grand Luo. They were still within manageable limits!

While the Demon Tribe appeared to have seven Demon Gods, their strength was not overwhelming. In contrast, humanity had four Grand Luo, one early-stage and three late-stage. Taking down the demons would not be a problem!

This way, his plan to leverage the situation could proceed smoothly.

If successful, it wouldn't completely extinguish the Demon Tribe's desire to slaughter humanity, but at least for a short period, the Demon Tribe would not dare to act against humanity.
