Rewriting Investiture of the Gods in the Primordial Era

Jiang Haofeng nodded slightly. As expected of the leader of the ancient humanity, being a fellow Innate Human, Suiren's performance was far superior to others in every aspect.

Moreover, among the three ancestors, Suiren was the most steady, making him the most suitable candidate for a leader. Although Jiang Haofeng had only returned not long ago, he could already see that the entire humanity implicitly looked to Suiren as their head. Even Da Chao and Zhisheng seemed to defer to Suiren.

It seemed that the first Human Clan Elder would undoubtedly be Suiren.

As for Huaxu, the "Lord of Humanity" she had once proclaimed herself, acting on behalf of Empress Nuwa to manage humanity, had long since been unrecognized. Ultimately, strength was the fundamental basis. Taiyi Immortals and Great Luo Immortals simply had no chance of competing.

"That's right. Above mortals are the five immortal realms: True, Mystic, Golden, Taiyi, and Great Luo."

"True Immortals shed the false and preserve the true, condensing their immortal bodies, forging immortal foundations, and refining their immortal souls. Mystic Immortals comprehend laws, Golden Immortals condense immortal golden nature, transcending the shackles of lifespan. Taiyi Immortals condense the five qi within their chests, and Great Luo Immortals gather the three flowers above their crowns!"

"And above Great Luo Immortals are Primordial Golden Immortals, also known as Quasi-Saints. Upon reaching Great Luo Golden Immortal, with a complete understanding of laws, they begin to comprehend the Great Dao. Comprehending the Great Dao and embarking on the Dao path makes one a Primordial Golden Immortal!"

"In the Primordial Era, Primordial Golden Immortals were also called Great Divine Powers, the top-tier mighty beings of the Primordial Era."

"Afterward, by utilizing Innate Spirit Treasures to sever the Three Corpses—good, evil, and self—one reaches the peak of Quasi-Saint, the strongest beneath a Saint."

Seeing the shock on the faces of the surrounding Innate Humans, Jiang Haofeng did not hesitate and revealed his final trump card.

"Above Quasi-Saints are Saints, also known as Primordial Grand Unity Limitless Golden Immortals. They transcend heaven and earth, understand the past and future, wield the Great Dao, possess immense divine abilities, and boundless magical power. Myriad karmic destinies do not attach to them, they are immortal for eons, and indestructible through immeasurable kalpas!"

The surrounding Innate Humans widened their eyes in disbelief. Saints were so powerful!

"Are there Saints outside?"

"Is the Holy Mother a Saint?"

Two voices rang out simultaneously. Suiren and Huaxu exchanged glances, then looked at Jiang Haofeng together, awaiting his answer.

"Yes, the Two Saints of the World: Ancestor Hongjun, and the Heavenly Dao Saint, Empress Nuwa!"

Under their expectant gazes, Jiang Haofeng nodded and cupped his hands towards the sky in a gesture of respect.

Upon hearing this, Huaxu's face instantly broke into a radiant smile. As expected of the Holy Mother, her power was immense.

The other humans around also showed expressions of pleasant surprise. Saints! They were the most powerful beings. Empress Nuwa was a Saint, and for a moment, every human felt honored.

Jiang Haofeng secretly shook his head. Honor, indeed. After all, they were Saints, but the problem was that Nuwa would not intervene to protect humanity. The ten kalpas were the first and last time.

Just as Jiang Haofeng was about to speak, Huaxu, standing beside him, asked with a face full of anticipation, "Haofeng, who is stronger, the Holy Mother or Ancestor Hongjun?"

Jiang Haofeng trembled. Sister, you really dare to ask that.

Jiang Haofeng immediately cupped his hands towards the sky in a bow. "Our clansmen are unruly and do not recognize the virtue of the Dao Ancestor. We beg the Dao Ancestor not to be offended!"

The people around were startled and somewhat at a loss. Suiren also rose and bowed alongside Jiang Haofeng. Following their lead, all the humans bowed towards the sky.

Jiang Haofeng wasn't entirely sure how powerful Saints were, as he'd never been one, but with their abilities, it was basic for them to scan the entire Primordial Era. Forget Saints; even Quasi-Saints could sense you if you mentioned their name.

If it were just Jiang Haofeng, with the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Book obscuring heavenly secrets, he might have a slim chance of getting away with it. But being with people that two Saints were highly focused on, every action and movement here would undoubtedly be known to the Saints.

If they didn't even know this, they wouldn't qualify as Saints.

At the same time, in Wa Huang Heaven, Nuwa chuckled softly, looking at Huaxu with a hint of amusement. This Huaxu was quite endearing.

"Humanity is newly born and does not understand the heavenly numbers. Master, please do not blame us!"

"It's nothing!"

Within the Chaos, a vast and grand voice echoed within Wa Huang Heaven, seemingly containing the Three Thousand Great Daos, profoundly mysterious.

"Thank you, Master!"

After a pause, Nuwa spoke again, her voice piercing through the endless Chaos and accurately reaching the Purple Heaven Palace.

"Master, who is that Haofeng?"

"Fifty Great Daos, Heavenly Evolution Forty-nine, One Escapes!"

Nuwa's eyes flickered. After a long moment, she nodded, "Thank you, Master, for enlightening me. This disciple understands."

Meanwhile, within Purple Firmament Palace, Hongjun looked at Haofeng below. "Strange, I cannot deduce his origins. Where did he find the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Book for his true spirit? Truly peculiar."

"Never mind. The Heavenly Dao has not issued any warnings, so let's observe for now."

Saying this, Ancestor Hongjun closed his eyes. A dense Dao aura appeared, and a detached yet majestic presence erupted from his body.

Concurrently, on the Primordial land, within the Ancestral Nest beneath Huang Mountain, after everyone finished their salutations, there was no unusual phenomenon in the sky. Jiang Haofeng breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Then, everyone sat down on the ground. Jiang Haofeng said to Huaxu, "Empress Nuwa is the disciple of the Dao Ancestor and one of the Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor."

The Innate Humans nodded, somewhat dazed. So, the Holy Mother also had a master.

"The Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao?"

Da Chao, standing nearby, looked at Jiang Haofeng curiously.

"The Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao are the six disciples of the Dao Ancestor: three direct disciples, one outer disciple, and two registered disciples. The Dao Ancestor bestowed the Hongmeng Purple Qi upon these six disciples, making it the foundation for their attainment of the Dao."

"The direct disciples are Daoist Taiqing, Daoist Yuqing, and Daoist Shangqing. The outer disciple is our humanity's Holy Mother, Empress Nuwa. The registered disciples are the Western Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti."

"Currently, among the Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao, only Empress Nuwa has assumed her position."

After a pause, Jiang Haofeng added, "The Dao Ancestor is the leader of the Xuanmen, and his six disciples are all second-generation disciples of the Xuanmen. We are the race created by Empress Nuwa, and thus also affiliated with the Xuanmen. We three thousand Innate Humans should be considered third-generation disciples of the Xuanmen. In the future, if we meet the Three Pure Ones, we must respectfully address them as Senior Uncle-Masters. If we meet Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti, we must respectfully address them as Junior Uncle-Masters!"

"Understood!"

Hearing Jiang Haofeng's words, all the Innate Humans quickly nodded in agreement. Brother Haofeng knew so much; what he said must be correct.

Jiang Haofeng nodded in satisfaction. "The Great Desolation isn't just about fighting; it's about relationships and understanding karma. Your standing in the Great Desolation depends on your origins and your karma. The identity of a third-generation disciple of the Xuanmen directly announces your affiliation, though no one in humanity knew or utilized it before."

Jiang Haofeng wouldn't be polite. "If it's free, why not use it? I was created by Nuwa, so calling the Three Pure Ones 'Senior Uncle-Master' is perfectly fine."

After discussing the Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao, Jiang Haofeng looked at the stunned crowd and spoke again:

"The Holy Mother is powerful, a peerless expert in the world, that's beyond doubt. But the Holy Mother's power doesn't mean humanity is powerful. Currently, in the Great Desolation, the Witch and Demon Tribes are the protagonists of heaven and earth, blessed with destiny and formidable strength, far surpassing humanity."

"The Witch Tribe has the Twelve Ancestral Witches, each a primordial spirit, born from the vital essence of Great God Pangu. Their physical bodies are incredibly strong and unrivaled in the Great Desolation. All twelve are among the Three Thousand Zixiao Guests, top-tier powerful beings from the same era as the Holy Mother."

"Although their cultivation is not as formidable as the Holy Mother's, they are also Quasi-Saint powers, stationed at Buzhou Mountain, leading all the witches in the world, and governing the earth. They are the current masters of the Great Desolation's earth!"

"Under the Twelve Ancestral Witches are hundreds of Great Witches, each a Great Luo Immortal, capable of picking stars and grasping moons, roaming the Great Desolation with great prestige!"

"Below the Great Witches are tens of thousands of Battle Witches, each a Taiyi Immortal, spread across the Great Desolation, leading countless Witch Tribe tribes."

"Below the Battle Witches are Golden Immortal Lesser Witches and Mystic Immortal Witch Soldiers, and True Immortal Witch Troopers, whose numbers are even more countless."

As his voice fell, everyone's eyes widened, looking at Haofeng in disbelief.

They were even more shocked than when they learned the Holy Mother was a Saint. After all, they had no concept of what a Saint was or how powerful they were. Hearing of a Saint's existence didn't shock them as much.

They didn't know how strong a Saint was, but they clearly understood the power of Taiyi and Great Luo Immortals.

Tens of thousands of Taiyi Immortals, hundreds of Great Luo Immortals – how powerful would that be?

Humanity, at full strength, even including Zhisheng who had no merit, only had three Great Luo Immortals, and a few dozen Taiyi Immortals. Wouldn't that mean the Witch Tribe could crush humanity with a single blow?

Seeing the shocked crowd, Jiang Haofeng struck while the iron was hot:

"The Witch Tribe has Twelve Ancestral Witches, hundreds of Great Witches, and a hundred thousand Battle Witches. The Demon Tribe is no less formidable. The Demon Tribe is led by the Demon Emperor and Demon Sovereign in the Heavenly Court, with the Demon Master Kunpeng, the Ten Great Demon Sages, and three hundred and sixty-five Demon Gods!"

"The Demon Emperor, Demon Sovereign, and Demon Master are all Quasi-Saints. Especially the Demon Sovereign, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, who wields the innate supreme treasure, the Eastern Emperor Bell, and possesses boundless combat power. He alone can contend with several Ancestral Witches!"

"Although the Ten Great Demon Sages are not Quasi-Saints, each of them possesses the potential to become a Quasi-Saint and is invincible among Great Luo Golden Immortals. They are powerhouses on the same level as the top Great Witches of the Witch Tribe."

"The three hundred and sixty-five Demon Gods are all Great Luo Golden Immortals. And this was just when the Heavenly Court was first established; after countless epochs, the number of Demon Gods in the Heavenly Court has long surpassed three hundred and sixty-five."

"The number of Great Demon Kings at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level even exceeds that of the Witch Tribe. The demons reside in the Heavenly Court, controlling the Thirty-three Heavens, leading billions of stars, overseeing countless demons in the Great Desolation, and exerting their might in all directions!"

One by one, the Innate Humans involuntarily looked up, as if seeing the boundless sky through the roof, seeing the vast and magnificent Heavenly Court, and seeing the countless experts of the Demon Tribe.

After a long silence, Suiren lowered his head and sighed softly, "Today I finally understand that there are heavens beyond heavens, and people beyond people. The Great Desolation is filled with countless powerful beings. Brother Haofeng is right; humanity is still too weak!"

As his voice fell, the atmosphere in the entire communal nest became heavy.

"Indeed, compared to the Great Desolation, humanity is very weak, and much weaker than you all imagine."

The Innate Humans looked at Jiang Haofeng with dejected expressions. Jiang Haofeng glanced at them and, without hesitation, spoke again:

"It's not just about strength, but also about foundation. The Witch and Demon Tribes possess divine abilities, cultivation methods, inheritances, and spirit treasures. Humanity has nothing."

"The Witch Tribe has the Nine Revolutions Profound Art, which upon completion can lead to the path of Primordial Grand Unity Limitless Golden Immortal. They possess the unyielding fighting spirit of battling heaven and earth, powerful divine abilities like Heaven and Earth Manifestation, Star Chasing Moon Catching, and Star Picking Moon Grasping. They have supreme treasures like the Ancestral Witch Hall, Jade-Breaking Hook, Heavenly Separation Fire God Whip, Gan Qi, Inch Staff, Heavenly Chime, Earth Radiance, and Xuanming Bone Arrow."

"Moreover, the Witch Tribe's innate physical bodies are strong, possessing the Witch Tribe Treasure Body, which is immune to earth, water, fire, and wind, and unafraid of divine abilities and magical treasures. Once engaged in battle, with the unyielding fighting spirit of battling heaven and earth, they become pure killing machines!"

"The Demon Tribe possesses supreme treasures such as the Eastern Emperor Bell, the River Diagram and Luo Book, the Emerald Light Two Principles Lamp, the Sea-Overturning Sky-Splitting Saber, Di Jun's Vermilion Bow, the Shan Hai Divine Sword, the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife, and the Seven Arrows Book of Nail Heads, among countless others."

"Furthermore, all the demons of the Demon Tribe are protected by innate divine abilities. The True Sun Fire and Golden Crow Rainbow Transformation Technique of the Demon Emperor and Demon Sovereign, the Kunpeng True Form of the Demon Master Kunpeng, and others are all supreme divine abilities of profound mystery."

As his voice fell, the heads of the Innate Humans bowed even lower, and the atmosphere became even more somber.

"Are those divine abilities and techniques really that powerful?"

Xuandu, standing behind everyone, had an unreadable expression in his eyes.

The rest of humanity also looked at Haofeng, as this was the first time they had heard of divine abilities.

"Of course, they are powerful. In battles in the Great Desolation, one looks at cultivation, then at treasures, and then at divine abilities. With powerful divine abilities, one can completely defeat a stronger opponent with a weaker cultivation!"

He paused, a smile appearing on Jiang Haofeng's face. "Saying this, my brothers and sisters might not fully grasp the power of divine abilities. Coincidentally, while traveling the Great Desolation, I learned a few divine abilities from the Witch and Demon Tribes. Perhaps I can demonstrate them for everyone."

"Brother Xuandu, how about we have a spar?"

"Good!"
