Primordial Era: Rewriting the Investiture of the Gods Section 6

The Demon Tribe and the Witch Tribe are natural enemies, with no possibility of peaceful coexistence between the two.

The Witch Tribe does not cultivate magic power or refine their primordial spirits; they only temper their physical bodies. To the Witch Tribe, the flesh of demonic beasts is a priceless treasure for cultivation. It's impossible for the Witch Tribe to give up eating meat, just as it's impossible for the Demon Tribe to allow their kin to be eaten by the Witch Tribe.

If they only ate a little, with the Twelve Ancestral Witches present, the Demon Emperor and the Demon Sovereign wouldn't mind giving the Witch Tribe some face. But the problem is, with the Witch Tribe's appetite, if they truly let loose, they could eat the Demon Tribe to extinction.

As long as the fundamental conflict between the two tribes isn't resolved, the arrangement of the Witch Tribe managing the land and the Demon Tribe managing the heavens is bound to be unsustainable. A great war between the two tribes will erupt sooner or later.

After everyone left, Jiang Haofeng looked at the lifelike images that had appeared on the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Book, especially Xing Tian holding Gan Qi. A smile filled his heart.

This was a genuine War God of the Primordial Era, someone who dared to challenge the Heavenly Emperor. Even though he hadn't reached his peak yet, he was still one of the strongest among the strong.

His consciousness entered the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Book, and several pieces of information surged into Jiang Haofeng's mind.

The first six stages of the Nine Revolutions Profound Art! (Perfection)

Heaven-Battling Earth-Fighting Battle Intent! (Perfection)

Divine Ability: Heaven and Earth Manifestation! (Perfection)

High-grade Innate Spirit Treasure - Gan Qi Spirit Charm (10%)

The first three were things Jiang Haofeng had obtained before, but this time, it was more complete than any of the previous thousands of times he had acquired them.

The Nine Revolutions Profound Art, which was only at minor completion of the sixth revolution, had reached perfection. The Great Completion level Heaven-Battling Earth-Fighting Battle Intent was completely perfected, and the divine ability Heaven and Earth Manifestation had also advanced from Great Completion to perfection.

The same divine abilities, but with different power. Xing Tian had elevated Jiang Haofeng's divine abilities and profound arts by another level.

Most importantly, the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Book had finally managed to copy the spirit charm of an Innate Spirit Treasure. Innate Spirit Treasures, these were rare supreme treasures in this era.

Each one was accounted for; without great fortune and great opportunities, they could not be obtained. Chu Jiang, in his fifty thousand Yuanhui of travel across the Primordial Era, had never even seen one.

Unfortunately, Xing Tian had moved too quickly. Innate Spirit Treasures were, after all, Innate Spirit Treasures. To comprehend their original spirit charm was quite difficult, even for the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Book, which was listed among the Innate Supreme Treasures. It had only managed to record 10% of the spirit charm.

However, 10% was 10%. After all, it was 10% of the spirit charm of an Innate Spirit Treasure. Combined with the profound origin power of the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Book, the power unleashed should not be weak.

As he spoke, Jiang Haofeng willed it, and a shield and an axe appeared in his hands. Looking at the two treasures, Jiang Haofeng's face lit up with joy. What wonderful treasures.

Since they were transformed by the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Book, Jiang Haofeng didn't need to refine them; he could use them directly. The shield contained the Great Dao of Defense. With the shield placed before him, it could block all sorts of attacks.

The axe contained the Great Dao of Sharpness, possessing the ability to sever everything. It also contained a trace of the intent of world creation. Once unleashed, it would possess the power to destroy the heavens and exterminate the earth!

Jiang Haofeng raised his hand and swung the axe. A streak of crimson axe light slashed across the heavens and earth. The ground instantly cracked, leaving behind a chasm thousands of meters deep.

Jiang Haofeng's eyes immediately lit up. This was the land of the Primordial Era during the Lich Tribulation. The earth was even harder than metal and iron in later ages. With a single strike, he had created a thousand-meter-deep chasm. This power was already close to that of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal!

What a treasure! This axe alone had doubled Jiang Haofeng's combat power.

And this was only one-tenth of the original. One could imagine how powerful the two High-grade Innate Spirit Treasures in Xing Tian's hands were.

After all, they were High-grade Innate Spirit Treasures. Even one-tenth of their power surpassed many acquired spirit treasures.

Moreover, Jiang Haofeng currently only possessed 10% of the spirit charm of Gan Qi, yet he felt a sense of inability to fully unleash its might. Jiang Haofeng secretly clicked his tongue. As expected of an Innate Spirit Treasure, a top-tier treasure of the Primordial Era.

He, a late-stage Golden Immortal who cultivated the orthodox Nine Revolutions Profound Art, couldn't even unleash the full power of one-tenth of an Innate Spirit Treasure. It was truly terrifying.

One-tenth was enough for now. In the future, during the Lich War, or when Xing Tian killed Haotian, he could sneak over and observe, striving to complete the spirit charm.

Delighted with the supreme treasure, Jiang Haofeng happily embarked on his journey back.

He learned and collected as he went, gathering all sorts of treasures he encountered. Regardless of their preciousness, Jiang Haofeng collected them all. They might not be precious now, but they would be when the innate spiritual energy of this era turned into acquired spiritual energy.

Jiang Haofeng also had his Human Tribe to consider. It would be wonderful to use these items to reward future generations.

He was delayed countless times along the way. The conflict between the Witch Tribe and the Demon Tribe grew increasingly intense. He traveled intermittently and, after some time, Jiang Haofeng finally neared the area where the Human Tribe resided.

As he got closer to the Human Tribe, tribes appeared before Jiang Haofeng's eyes. Within the tribes, humans wearing grass skirts and animal skins were busy.

Jiang Haofeng was taken aback. How had the Human Tribe developed so quickly? They were still nearly a million miles away from the protective barrier set by Nuwa.

Jiang Haofeng flickered his body and circled the surroundings. Amidst the green hills and clear waters, human tribes were scattered everywhere. At the foot of the mountains, by the riverbanks, human tribes were ubiquitous. A large number of humans were active in the surroundings. Jiang Haofeng alone saw over a hundred million.

And this was just the result of Jiang Haofeng casually looking around. In places Jiang Haofeng didn't see, countless human tribes were likely distributed.

As expected, created with the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, their reproductive ability was undeniably the first in the Primordial Era.

If the Witch Tribe, whose reproduction was difficult, saw the scene before them, their eyes would likely turn green with envy.

However, despite their speed, the quality of these humans was far too poor. In a tribe, 99.9% of them were beings below the True Immortal realm. In a tribe of nearly ten thousand people, there were only one or two True Immortal realm members.

This was the Primordial Era, an era where Golden Immortals were everywhere. Yet, these descendants of humanity had cultivation levels not even reaching True Immortal, still stuck in the mortal realm. They were likely the weakest race in the Primordial Era.

Furthermore, according to Jiang Haofeng's observation, the entire Human Tribe lacked cultivation methods. Their strength generally wouldn't increase after adulthood.

Jiang Haofeng shook his head and sighed, transforming into a stream of light towards the Human Tribe's territory. In a short while, a golden light barrier that connected heaven and earth appeared before him. Without hesitation, Jiang Haofeng flew into the barrier.

Inside the barrier, dense human tribes filled the entire territory. The hundreds of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers protected by the barrier were already packed with inhabitants where people could live.

Jiang Haofeng glanced around, showing no surprise on his face. If there were still places to live here, the Human Tribe wouldn't have easily left the barrier set by Nuwa.

"Who!"

Suddenly, a loud shout reverberated through the heavens. A flash of light appeared before his eyes, and a burly man clad in animal skins appeared before Jiang Haofeng. At the same time, a powerful aura surged towards him, causing Jiang Haofeng's heart to pound.

This was... a Grand Luo Golden Immortal!!!

Jiang Haofeng stared at the person before him in shock.

"Haofeng, you're back!"

A surprised voice rang out, and the man's immense aura instantly vanished. He spoke with a face full of smiles.

Seeing who had arrived, Jiang Haofeng's shock subsided slightly. Suiren, one of the three ancestors of the human race. For Suiren to stand out among the Innate Humans, he naturally possessed exceptional qualities.

If Suiren had already achieved Grand Luo Golden Immortal, it wouldn't be so shocking.

Suiren's innate Human Creation Merit alone was enough for him to become a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, and combined with the Merit of Inventing Fire, it was more than enough for him to reach Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

"Suiren, long time no see!"

Suiren stepped forward and hugged Jiang Haofeng. "It's good that you're back. You left too suddenly, I didn't even know."

"After I achieved Grand Luo Golden Immortal, I searched for you nearby, but I never found any trace of you. I was afraid something had happened to you. It's good that you're back!"

Jiang Haofeng was stunned and looked at the burly man before him with complex emotions.

Suiren had actually gone out to look for him. In that moment, Jiang Haofeng felt a bittersweet pang, like a wanderer returning home. The barrier of his transmigration vanished by more than half.

"Come with me quickly. Zhisheng misses you terribly. If she knew you were back, she'd be overjoyed. The other brothers and sisters miss you too."

"Okay!"

Suiren slung an arm around Jiang Haofeng's shoulders, and the two headed towards Central Phoenix Mountain.

Central Phoenix Mountain was one of the peaks where Nuwa had created humans. It was a branch of Buzhou Mountain and a sacred place for the human race. They, the Innate Humans, had all lived at the foot of Central Phoenix Mountain back then.

"Zhisheng, look who's here!"

Before they even arrived, Suiren's booming voice had already spread throughout Central Phoenix Mountain.

A flash of golden light streaked through the void, and Zhisheng appeared. Unlike when Jiang Haofeng had left, Zhisheng was now wearing a beautiful grass skirt, upon which the light of merit shone. It was clearly a powerful Merit Supreme Treasure.

"Haofeng!"

A delighted voice rang out, and a brilliant smile spread across Zhisheng's face as she looked at Jiang Haofeng with great joy.

"Zhisheng, I'm back!"

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"

The group landed, and all the surrounding Innate Humans gathered around. Jiang Haofeng glanced over them; including himself, there were thirty-nine in total.

"Dating and the others are out on patrol and aren't in the tribe. Don't worry, all three thousand Innate Humans are accounted for!"

Seeing Jiang Haofeng's gaze, Zhisheng explained from the side.

So that's how it was.

Jiang Haofeng nodded slightly, his feelings unchanged. He had never worried about the safety of these three thousand humans. Over these ten kalpas, these three thousand Innate Humans were as safe as could be.

With the Sage's Edict in place, who would dare to court death!

This was even related to why Jiang Haofeng had left the human tribe impatiently after only two days to travel the Primordial Era. The current human race, holding a death-exemption token, and with Dao Ancestor Hongjun not making a move, everyone in the Primordial Era had to show respect to Sage Nuwa.

Traveling the Primordial Era at this time was undoubtedly the safest period. Even if they encountered enemies, displaying their human identity and their Merit Golden Body would deter anyone from killing them.

The plan was to use this safest period to travel the Primordial Era, maximize their strength, and prepare for the difficult times when Nuwa's protection would be gone.

The true decline of the Innate Humans generally began in the later stages of the Witch-Demon Tribulation, when both the Witch and Demon tribes realized Nuwa no longer protected humanity.

After greeting the surrounding Innate Humans one by one, Da Chao asked curiously:

"Haofeng, where have you been all this time? Why did it take so long?"

As soon as he spoke, all the Innate Humans showed curiosity, their gazes focused on Jiang Haofeng.

All the Innate Humans were very curious about their brother who had disappeared just two days after his birth, and even more curious about what he had done during this time.

Jiang Haofeng smiled and said, "Not everyone is here yet. Let's wait until everyone is here to talk. I've traveled the Primordial Era for five kalpas and seen many things. I can tell you all about them."

Upon hearing this, the Innate Humans nodded excitedly: "Great!"
