Primordial Era: From Primordial Human Race to Grand Luo Immortal

Chapter 105, Section 104: Pre-Catastrophe Planning
Meanwhile, beneath the East China Sea eye.

"Time, the plague died, even the true spirit was locked away."

The shadowy figure named Time sighed.

"Let's wait a little longer for the day when the three powers are in balance. That will be our best opportunity."

"But now the two Western Saints have developed disloyal intentions and are estranged from the Heavenly Way. If we wait until the Three Realms are established, who knows what kind of changes will occur?"

"The shadowy figure named Causality retorted."

The shadows of time scattered, seemingly traversing countless dimensions and timelines, before suddenly receding. It spoke softly:
"We must wait! I have traveled from the source of time to the end of time, but I have not seen the figure of the human named Ji Yuan. He may be the inheritor of Pangu's will. If we appear now, the plague will be the result!"

The aura of cause and effect surged for a moment, causing ripples in countless spaces and times, before finally calming down.

…………

After the Plague God was dealt with, no further troubles occurred in the prehistoric world, as if the Plague God had simply come to his death.

Meanwhile, Ji Yuan was in a grotto-heaven created by the Jianmu tree, where all the immortals from the three religions who participated in the Investiture of the Gods in the original timeline were located.

As the saying goes, the trend is hard to change. Ji Yuan knew that the world was undergoing great changes, and the Investiture of the Gods would still take place, but in a more brutal form. It would no longer involve the human race and the Xuanmen, but all living beings in the world.

Ji Yuan gathered everyone together, naturally to take precautions against future events and prevent them from escalating into a major disaster.

The calamity of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect has passed, and the Jie Sect no longer randomly accepts disciples. They also have their own way of suppressing destiny. It seems that the Investiture of the Gods will not happen again, but Ji Yuan sees further ahead. There is calamity energy permeating the world, which may be brewing an even greater disaster.

As the senior disciple of the three religions, he naturally had to do something. Regardless of whether the disciples in his sect had any ulterior motives, at least for now they were still under his tutelage.

"All right."

A soft shout, like a heavenly voice, pierced the ears of the immortals, who stopped their commotion and all looked at the figure.

"By observing the heavens and seizing a sliver of life, I see that calamity is gathering in the primordial world. Soon, a catastrophe may befall us. I have invited you disciples here to pass on a seal technique to you. Calm your minds and uphold your true nature."

After saying that, Ji Yuan began to teach the Tranquil Mind Seal. Although this seal method has miraculous effects, it may not be able to resist the calamity energy of the Great Tribulation and bewitch the mind, but it can at least play a role. Sometimes, it is this role that can save a life.

After the hand seal technique was taught, the immortals were engrossed in comprehension. Although the technique was said to be simple, it was actually not that simple. Even with their talents, it would take them at least tens of thousands of years to comprehend it.

This gives Ji Yuan enough time to do other things.

The North Sea, where the Black Tortoise holds the light.

"The Divine Lord Zhiming is still as charming as ever."

Ji Yuan strolled out of the formation and offered his praise.

Zhi Ming was slightly taken aback, and muttered to himself:

"When did this kid arrive? How come I didn't notice him? He's already this strong?"

Xuanwu Zhiming wields the power of the Heavenly Dao in one region and possesses extremely formidable strength. Moreover, he is skilled at divination, so his failure to discover Ji Yuan this time is quite shocking to him.

Zhi Ming was only stunned for a moment, then said irritably:

"Your abilities have certainly improved, kid. You came here without even saying hello and just barged in."

Ji Yuan gave an awkward smile. He came to Beihai not to intimidate Zhi Ming, but more to let him know his strength, so as to enhance the credibility of his words.

"My Lord, please forgive me. I have important matters to discuss with you, and I was a little hasty. Please forgive me."

Ji Yuan was apologetic.

"Tell me what's going on."

Zhi Ming slowly opened his mouth. Every time Ji Yuan sought him out, something extraordinary had happened, but there were also opportunities. He was very curious.

"Please, Your Majesty, divine the future."

Ji Yuan stated his request.

"The future?"

Zhiming murmured, but did not refuse. In an instant, he transformed into the form of a tortoise and a snake, and began to deduce the future.

Images flashed before Zhiming's eyes, then transformed into chaos, within which numerous possibilities manifested and countless variables occurred. His eyes widened in horror, and he exclaimed in astonishment:
"Another great calamity?" Only during a great calamity will the heavenly secrets be in chaos and variables appear frequently. Only a few thousand eons have passed, and another great calamity is about to begin.

Zhi Ming told Ji Yuan what he had seen and heard, and Ji Yuan nodded:

"Just as I saw, a great calamity is about to occur, and it is imminent. However, there is also an immense opportunity within the calamity."

Ji Yuan then said something to Zhi Ming, who immediately sealed off this space-time to block the Heavenly Dao's prying eyes.

Is what you said true?

Zhi Ming revealed his excitement. Which seeker of the Dao doesn't want to become a saint, even if it's just a sliver of a chance?

"That's natural!"

Ji Yuan was extremely certain, after all, he was somewhat involved in all of this.

"What are the conditions?"

After a moment of excitement, Zhi Ming calmed down. This extremely confidential information told him that there must have been conditions involved.

"It's very simple, just don't commit too many killings."

Ji Yuan said calmly.

"Killing evil?"

Zhi Ming was somewhat puzzled, but then he realized that there would be a killing calamity in the great calamity. Recklessly committing killing might bring the killing calamity into one's heart. Perhaps there were still people that Ji Yuan cared about in the calamity.

After telling Zhiming what to do at that time, Ji Yuan left gracefully. He then went to the East Sea, South Sea, and West Sea to find several other deities. He gave the same explanation and then took Kong Xuan back to the place of the Tongtian Jianmu. She had stayed with the Zhuque Lingguang deity for several dozen eons and was getting a little tired of it. She wanted to follow Ji Yuan to cultivate.

With each blink of his eyes, Ji Yuan surveyed the ancient starry sky above and the netherworld below, taking in everything in the heavens, yet he still could not fathom the evolution of the great calamity.

"Hopefully, a powerful figure will step in and deter some overconfident individuals from even attempting this."

Fire Cloud Cave.

Xuanyuan was seeking advice from Fuxi and Shennong on how to become an emperor.

"Your Majesty, how should the human race develop in the future?"

Xuanyuan was extremely sincere. Since becoming the ruler of the human race, he suddenly lost his way, as if the two previous emperors had already done everything that could be done, leaving him feeling lost for a time.

Fuxi smiled. He already knew that Xuanyuan would be confused, so he took out the explanation that Ji Yuan had given him.

"What is your way?"

"Inner sage and outer king, educating and enlightening all people."

Xuanyuan replied that his path was known to all, and he did not know why Fuxi asked such a question.

What does that kind of education require?

Fuxi asked the question again.

Xuanyuan pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

"The demon race has its own script, and the Great Dao has its own script. Why can't the human race have its own script? The first step in education is to start from childhood, teaching them to recognize and read characters. And is it true that what Shennong and I created will never be outdated? Only by reforming the old and innovating can we endure!"

Fuxi's words were like a sudden enlightenment, and Xuanyuan thanked him repeatedly before leaving the Fire Cloud Cave.

After Xuanyuan left, Shennong frowned, somewhat worried, and said:

"Fuxi, do you think we can surpass them? A slight mistake on this trip could mean death and the end of our lives."

Fuxi glanced at Shennong:
"You claim to be a martial arts practitioner, yet you say the path of martial arts is unstoppable. Why are you hesitant now? Even if you don't believe me, you should believe in the Ancestor of Humanity. If you die, you can always be reincarnated. Humans will control the Netherworld. What are you afraid of?"

Shennong was slightly embarrassed upon hearing this, but then became resolute.

"For the sake of our race, I am willing to die!"
