From Ape to Man! (Please Bookmark and Vote)

Jiang Ping watched the birth of the first Human King and nodded.

"From ape to man, this race can now be called the Human Race! This Human King is indeed impressive. My cultivation of him was not in vain. With the sharpness of the Spear of Destiny, he can actually challenge a dragon at the top of the food chain. But..."

Jiang Ping then looked toward the other side of the land. The Human Race's rise had put tremendous pressure on the other demonic beasts, and they were not about to sit idly by!

One after another, they possessed Innate Divine Power and extraordinary intelligence. In terms of combat ability and wisdom, they were not inferior to the newly born Human Race at all. Yet they were ultimately scattered and weak alone. If they did not unite, Jiang Ping could practically see the fate of the other creatures in the Primordial World: a repeat of the rise of Earth's ape-men!

They would kill the powerful beasts that threatened them and tame generation after generation of those beneficial to them. Yet, looking at the Devouring Ants that had just begun exploring the corners, Jiang Ping did not know why, but he felt that the Human Race would not dominate so easily.

In the Primordial World, as the Human King was born, words once again appeared in the blank Creation Diary. Primordial Calendar: Middle Ancient Era. The glaciers melted, and all things revived. God-created creatures dominated the world. Wuma, leader of the ape-men, received a Divine Revelation in the night and obtained three supreme treasures: the Spear of Destiny, the Spark of Civilization, and the Tablet of Truth.

He then simulated and learned the Myriad Breathing Technique, successfully slew the Evil Dragon, and bathed in Dragon Blood to gain a second life, becoming the first Human King. Deep underground, the Ant Queen was no longer content with darkness and began setting foot upon the land. The Devouring Ants first revealed their savage nature.

After reading the words in the Creation Diary, Jiang Ping pondered. It seems the Protagonists of Heaven and Earth in this generation are the Human Race and the Ant Race.

Although the Human Race of the Primordial World was Far From Each Other from those on Earth and had virtually nothing to do with them, Jiang Ping still held considerable goodwill toward humanity. Otherwise, he would not have Personally made a move to help them. But judging from the Creation Diary's analysis, the Devouring Ants had tremendous potential. Who Will Win in the end was still uncertain!

"Perhaps the final ruler of the world will not be either of these two races. That is also possible."

Jiang Ping observed the Primordial World and had no intention of intervening further. He had already given the Human Race a cheat ability. Letting them develop on their own was best; too much interference would only be beneath him.

Though the Human Race and the Ant Race appeared to be the strongest now, who knew whether an even more powerful race would emerge in the future?

As the red dragon Fahos was slain, the Human Race established its position as overlords. The might of Human King Wuma shocked the land!

The red dragon's death also bestowed a great gift upon the Human Race. Every part of a dragon was precious. Its scales and hide were impervious to blades and spears, immune to water and fire. Other than the Spear of Destiny, the Human Race could no longer find a weapon capable of piercing its defenses!

Without question, the Dragon Scales would be forged into the strongest armor. Dragon meat was exceptionally tender, yet only the few strongest warriors could eat it. Most tribesmen simply could not withstand the energy contained within the dragon meat.

As for Dragon Blood, it was even more aggressive. Even the Human King had fused with it only at the risk of his life. Apart from him, no one could endure the power of a dragon!

With no other choice, the Human Race's experts could only seal away the precious Dragon Blood and wait for the next Human King to appear before using it. After bathing in Dragon Blood, Human King Wuma regained his youth. He once again stood at the peak of his life, leading his people to continuously expand their territory and increase their numbers.

The land was only so vast. As the Human Race expanded, the other Supernatural Demonic Beasts began to resist!

"Human King Wuma, do not think we fear you!"

The Griffin King glared furiously at the Human King from high in the sky. Griffins flew around it, while beneath their feet stood giant tigers and other ferocious beasts.

Human King Wuma raised the spear in his hand high. Behind him stood one by one, fully armed warriors.

"Kill!"

With the Human King's furious roar, the two sides immediately crashed together. In a struggle between races, not an inch could be yielded!

Even as brave as the Human King was, the demonic beasts in the air still gave him a headache. This was their innate advantage!

As long as ground creatures revealed even the slightest opening, airborne creatures could seize it. Fully armed, valiant warriors died one after another. With bloodshot eyes, Wuma wielded the Spear of Destiny. In the end, both sides withdrew, each taking away the corpses of their people. Both suffered heavy losses!

Time flowed on, swift as a galloping white horse. Human King Wuma had already become white-haired and aged. Over the years, he had worked tirelessly, constantly leading his people to expand their territory and wage great wars against supernatural creatures. It could be said that he had spent most of his life fighting. Yet in recent years, Wuma increasingly felt powerless.

Wuma stared blankly at his head of white hair. His fellow tribesmen from the same generation had long since died, and he had personally buried even the lovers from Back Then! Wuma knew clearly that if he had not bathed in Dragon Blood, he would have aged long ago!

"I am already three hundred years old this year. It seems I have entered my twilight years as well." Wuma mocked himself.

"Human King, how can you say that? With the Spear of Destiny in your hand, you will surely lead us to greatness forever."

A sage beside him could not help saying. Under Wuma's leadership, the Human Race had risen from a precarious state to become one of the strongest races. His achievements inspired awe in every tribesman!

"Who in heaven and earth can escape death? Living two lives has already surpassed most people. Even powerful dragons, whose lifespans far exceed ours, ultimately die of old age after a thousand years." Wuma smiled and shook his head.

"I have no regrets in my life toward the Human Race. Begin preparations to select the Second Generation leader!"

The Human Race sage beside him was greatly shocked. In the end, he wanted to speak but stopped himself, then quickly left to gather the other tribesmen.

Wuma gazed across the land. The sun was setting, and Golden Yellow evening clouds shone upon his face. Like the setting sun, Wuma's life was about to enter eternal night.

Did he truly have no regrets in his life?

"Perhaps only you can be eternal in heaven and earth." Wuma muttered, recalling once more the Creation God who had appeared in his dream.

Over the years, Wuma had explored the land. When he finally reached its end after countless hardships, all that lay before him was a boundless ocean. Was the Creation God somewhere on the land? Above the sky? Or deep beneath the sea?

"I truly want to see you once more." Wuma spoke to himself. He did not wish to ask the Creation God for the secret of immortality, but rather whether he had completed the task given to him all those years ago!

Wuma gently stroked the Spear of Destiny, and before long, he made a decision.

Wuma returned to the Central Ancestral Land. The news that the Human King would abdicate shocked the Human Race. Countless people were heartbroken, while one after another powerful figures secretly rubbed their hands together.

The Sacred Tree Lahil was still as lush and vibrant as ever, as though she could live forever. Even as the Human King, Wuma still bowed respectfully to the Sacred Tree.

He knew that without the Sacred Tree's protection, there would be no Human Race today. Perhaps he would have long since died, and his race would have been wiped out!

Legend had it that the central Divine Tree possessed a lifespan equal to heaven and earth. Not only was she the first living being between heaven and earth, but she had also been personally planted by the Creation God! The Divine Tree had survived several great calamities. If anyone in heaven and earth knew about the Creation God, it could only be her!

Looking at the Divine Tree Covering the sky and sun, Wuma still felt reverence even after seeing it countless times. He softly asked Where the Creation God lies. Only after a long while did a voice appear in his mind.

"Most of my life has been spent sleeping. After Several Times of nirvana, I have forgotten much. I do not know more about the Creation God than you do. He does not exist in this world. I only know that whenever an Epochal Cataclysm descends, he may appear in the world and cast down vitality for a new era."

Wuma thanked the Divine Tree gratefully. From then on, he built a grass hut beside the Divine Tree and began personally carrying enormous stones, preparing to carve a Creation God Statue!

Everyone believed that the Human King was unwilling to die of old age and wanted to receive guidance from the Creation God, just as he had received a Divine Revelation in his youth!

"The birth, aging, sickness, and death of all things is the law. Even the Divine Tree has died through several nirvanas. Other than the Creation God, who can live forever?" An elder of the Human Race shook his head. Seeing the valiant Human King doing something so foolish pained him as well.

Even the wisest Human King would become muddleheaded when faced with birth, aging, sickness, and death. Such was human nature!
