Primordial: From a grain of soil to the ancestor of all paths

For those who value freedom, attaining the status of a Primordial Golden Immortal or a Saint might be better than becoming one.

Because that way, there would be no need to be subject to any restrictions!
Isn't Jieyin and Zhunti stuck at the limit of their cultivation because they chose to become saints of the Heavenly Dao? They can't enter the true Hunyuan Taiji Golden Immortal realm like Yuanshi Tianmo and Taiqing.
Similarly, Di Jun, who has already become a saint of humanity, will inevitably be limited by Nuwa, the spokesperson of humanity, and by humanity itself.

However, after becoming a saint of humanity, he will gain the characteristics of immortality and inexhaustible magical power.

As long as humanity endures, Di Jun will also be eternally immortal!

If humanity becomes stronger, he and the entire demon race will also benefit!

In any case, Donghuang Taiyi has already mastered 2,900 kinds of Great Dao Laws, and is not far from merging with 3,000 Great Dao Laws and proving the Dao of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.

Even if Taiyi in the future is not as powerful as Taichu and Qinglian, the difference will not be too great.

At that time, the demon race will be equivalent to having a human saint and a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal who proved the Dao through force as their protectors.

In this way, the demon race will have a greater chance to realize its ambition of eternal existence!

Of course, as a saint of humanity and with the continuous implementation of the alliance plan between humans and demons, Di Jun Taiyi must also seek corresponding benefits for the human race!
"Once I stabilize my cultivation level, I will establish my own Daoist temple." After a moment's thought, Di Jun said, "Then I should step down from the position of Heavenly Emperor."

"When the time comes, I will choose one of the human race to sit on my throne as the Heavenly Emperor and rule over both the human and demon races!"

After achieving the status of a saint of humanity, neither the position of demon emperor nor the position of heavenly emperor became so important to Di Jun.

On the contrary, only by becoming a truly transcendent being can he better protect the human and demon races!
It is true that Di Jun once said that when he abdicated, he would choose a suitable human or demon from the human and demon races to succeed him.

But now that Di Jun has occupied a sacred position that rightfully belongs to the human race, he should give the human race appropriate compensation!
Moreover, as the alliance between humans and demons continues to advance, more and more demons, including Di Jun, have come to recognize the excellence of the human race in various aspects.

Perhaps, in terms of overall capabilities, the human race is a better fit!
Incidentally, long after the Investiture of the Gods and before the Ksitigarbha incident, Qinglian had already given Dijun the Investiture of the Gods list, which she had erased all the marks on, through her clone.

To this day, Di Jun has enfeoffed many humans and demons, making them gods on the Investiture of the Gods list.

Moreover, under the refinement of Qinglian and Taichu, many of the side effects of the Investiture of the Gods have disappeared, leaving only the characteristics of immortality and the restriction that one must obey the orders of the one who holds the list!

In this way, as long as one does not care about freedom, the Investiture of the Gods will not be a restriction for many ancient gods, but rather a rare opportunity.

After all, in the eyes of countless ancient gods, immortality is far more important than freedom.

Not to mention, many people with poor aptitude and low cultivation levels can obtain the corresponding cultivation level simply by accepting the conferment of godhood!

In short, once the next Heavenly Emperor is chosen, Di Jun will inevitably hand over the Investiture of the Gods to him.

"Yes!" Taiyi understood Dijun's thoughts and nodded in agreement, "Both the human and demon races have begun to thrive."

"Now that Goddess Nuwa has become the spokesperson for humanity, the development of both the human and demon races will inevitably be even more rapid!"

"Brother, you have also attained the Dao and become a Saint!"

"For you, elder brother, the position of Heavenly Emperor may no longer be an aid, but a constraint!"

"The human and demon races will eventually be handed over to future generations!"

"Since you, elder brother, have decided to abdicate the throne of the Heavenly Emperor and choose your successor from among the human race, then I will select a suitable demon from the demon race to inherit my throne as the Eastern Emperor!"

Although Dong Taiyi has not yet truly attained enlightenment, his combat power has already reached the peak of the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal (Saint) realm.

With the help of the creation treasure "Chaos Bell" and other means, his overall strength is comparable to that of a being at the limit of the Primordial (Saint) Realm!
The so-called Eastern Emperor's position no longer held much meaning for him.

It's just that Di Jun had always been the Heavenly Emperor, so he couldn't directly propose to abdicate.

"Ok!"

"You're right, it's time to hand over the human and demon races to future generations!"

"Even if something unexpected happens, we can step in and take over everything at any time!"

Di Jun was quite satisfied with Tai Yi's idea.

To put it bluntly, even if Dijun and Taiyi abdicate, they are still equivalent to "retired emperors".

They can also gain more time for self-cultivation by abdicating, and incidentally see how their successors perform.

If they so choose, they can always reclaim the rights and obligations of the Heavenly Emperor and the Eastern Emperor.

Why wouldn't they be happy to do it?

However, both Di Jun and Tai Yi were well aware that it would take time to select a suitable successor and to gradually get the demon and human races to accept their abdication.

Coincidentally, they don't lack this little bit of time right now!

Jade Palace of Immortals!

Nuwa became the representative of humanity, which inspired many top saints of the human and demon races to attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and even made Dijun a saint of humanity.

But the changes she caused are far from over!
Don't forget, Nuwa not only swore an oath to humanity, but also to the Great Dao!
then!

"boom!"

Whether it was because Nuwa and Taichu were on the same side, or because of the special nature of humanity, the Great Dao actually resonated with her words!
An overwhelming amount of merit from the Great Dao descended upon the Jade Immortal Palace as a reward for Nuwa!
"Congeal!"

Nuwa had not yet emerged from the joy of having successfully become the spokesperson for humanity. At this moment, as if struck by a divine inspiration, she poured her overwhelming merits of the Great Dao into humanity!
"boom!"

"Long!"

The next moment, as humanity rapidly grew stronger and showed signs of rivaling the Heavenly Dao, two supreme treasures of humanity were also created, which flew towards the Jade Qiong Immortal Mansion and Tianyuan Mountain respectively!
"The Holy Sword of Humanity?"

Nuwa was overjoyed when she saw the purple longsword in front of her!

Because this "Holy Sword of Humanity" is one of the products of the combination of the Great Dao's merits and humanity, it not only possesses power comparable to the Chaos Spiritual Treasure or even the weakest Chaos Supreme Treasure, but is also a supreme treasure with growth potential!

As Nuwa and humanity grow stronger, the quality of the Holy Sword of Humanity will also rise accordingly!

At the same time, this Holy Sword of Humanity also represents a portion of the supreme authority of humanity!
With it, Nuwa could not only empower more human power, but also better communicate with humanity and even achieve a true "fusion" with it, thereby gradually mastering all human power!
That's exactly what Houtu is doing now!
In a sense, this is far superior to Hongjun forcibly refining the will of Heaven.

At least Houtu and Nuwa don't have to worry about provoking a crazy backlash from the underworld and the human world!

At most, their integration of the local and human elements will be relatively slower!
also!

"I finally have a pure offensive treasure of my own!"

Nuwa gazed at the Holy Sword of Humanity before her and murmured with delight. Prior to this, her supreme innate spiritual treasure, the "Red Embroidered Ball," was itself an offensive weapon.

Just by hearing its name, you can tell that it's not exactly a pure treasure for offense!
Moreover, Nuwa has already become the representative of humanity, and in terms of cultivation, she has reached the Hunyuan Taiji Jiluo Golden Immortal (Dao Integration) realm. In terms of status, she is already on par with Hongjun and Houtu.

Even top-grade innate spiritual treasures like the Red Embroidered Ball no longer have much effect on her!

In contrast, the word "sword" in the name of the Holy Sword of Humanity proves that it is a true treasure for offense and conquest.

It possesses qualities comparable to those between Chaos Spiritual Treasures and Chaos Supreme Treasures, and also exhibits growth potential.

This will perfectly make up for Nuwa's biggest shortcoming!

"But it seems there was another supreme treasure of humanity that went to Tianyuan Mountain just now?" Nuwa, gradually regaining her senses, couldn't help but look in the direction of Tianyuan Mountain: "It must be that Fellow Daoist Taichu obtained that supreme treasure of humanity, right?"

"Very well, Fellow Daoist Taichu has been very kind to me and to the human race."

"Humanity must have its reasons for making such a choice!"

Tianyuan Mountain!
"what?"

"The Holy Seal of Humanity?"

Tai Chu was quite surprised to see the purple treasure seal in front of him.

To be honest, he wasn't surprised that Nuwa could become the spokesperson for humanity.

She was originally meant to be the representative of humanity, but she was tricked by Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao, and thus became a Heavenly Dao Saint.

After she shed the Heavenly Dao Saint Fruit from her body, she was already qualified to become the spokesperson for humanity again; it was just a matter of time!

Tai Chu never expected that the two supreme treasures of humanity, derived from the combination of human virtue and the Great Dao merit, would be given to Nuwa and him respectively.

Perhaps it was for this reason that Taichu was able to sense that Nuwa had obtained the Holy Sword of Humanity, as well as the corresponding characteristics of this sword.

The "Humanity Holy Seal" also possesses qualities ranging from a Chaos Spiritual Treasure to a Chaos Supreme Treasure, and it also has growth characteristics.

In the beginning, it was also able to gradually achieve integration with the human way through the Holy Seal of Humanity!

The difference lies in the fact that the Holy Sword of Humanity is mainly for offense, while the Holy Seal of Humanity is mainly for suppression and support!
Not only that!

In terms of the proportion of supreme authority of humanity alone, the Holy Seal of Humanity surpasses the Holy Sword of Humanity!
If Tai Chu had chosen to "merge" with humanity, the success rate would have been greater than that of Nuwa.

Even after he has merged with humanity to a certain extent, he can still use the Holy Seal of Humanity to directly strip Nuwa of her qualification as the spokesperson for humanity!
"Strange!" After understanding this, Tai Chu was even more puzzled: "Fellow Daoist Nuwa is clearly the representative of humanity, so why didn't humanity give her these two supreme treasures of humanity, but instead gave me the Holy Seal of Humanity, which can restrain her?"

After a moment's thought, Taichu had several guesses about this:

Firstly, when Nuwa created humans, Tai Chu provided assistance.

Subsequently, the Primordial Era also provided a great deal of assistance in the growth of the human race, making the human race and humanity more prosperous and powerful.

Therefore, he possessed some qualifications to wield the Holy Seal of Humanity!

Secondly, the reason why the Great Dao just bestowed a large amount of Great Dao merit was not only due to the special nature of the human race, but also because of the cause and effect between the Primordial Era and the Human Dao.

Humanity is able to become stronger through these great virtues and merits, and thus give rise to the two supreme treasures of humanity: the Holy Sword of Humanity and the Holy Seal of Humanity!
Thirdly, given that even the Primordial Demon can now become a demon, who can guarantee that the Heavenly Dao hasn't secretly done anything to Nuwa?
If Nuwa, the representative of humanity, were to fall into demonic possession or encounter any other unforeseen events in the future, it would be very troublesome for humanity and the entire prehistoric world.

Although as a champion of humanity, she wouldn't easily succumb to demonic possession.

This Sacred Seal of Humanity is a safeguard that Humanity gave to Taichu to deal with the possibility that Nuwa might become possessed by a demon or that other unexpected events might occur.

"However, these are all just my guesses at the moment. Only humanity itself knows the real reason."

Regardless, since the Human Path had given him the Holy Seal of Humanity, Tai Chu had no way to refuse.

therefore!

Tai Chu then put away the Human Dao Sacred Seal, preparing to continue fusing and mastering more Great Dao Laws while refining the Human Dao Sacred Seal.

He also needs to think about some things!
The crossroads of East and West!
"Has Fellow Daoist Nuwa finally become the spokesperson for humanity?"

Sensing the aura emanating from the Jade Immortal Abode, Qinglian was genuinely happy for Nuwa.

Moreover, once the latter's cultivation level and strength improve, they will be able to better assist them in the future!

"The Goddess Nuwa became the representative of humanity, and many holy beings from both the human and demon races attained the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal and Saint?"

"Is the primordial world truly about to fully enter the 'Primordial Era (Sage Era)'?"

Kong Xuan and Da Peng were quite surprised, feeling as if they were witnessing a "new era" unfolding.

During the Lich Wars and the Investiture of the Gods, the Five Sages of Heaven returned to their positions, which is also referred to by some as the "Age of Sages".

But compared to the increasing number of people attaining enlightenment these days, it clearly doesn't have much substance!

"Now we're in trouble!"

Kong Xuan and Dapeng, facing Amitabha Buddha and Bodhi Patriarch, had increasingly bitter expressions.

With the human and demon races gradually becoming one, and with Nuwa, who has become the spokesperson for humanity, is there really still a chance for the West to prosper?
Could it be that the great calamity they were so eagerly anticipating for Journey to the West has already vanished before it has even truly begun?

chaos!

"Nuwa has actually become the spokesperson for humanity?" The Primordial Demon frowned.

Whether it's Hongjun and his group, or the anti-heavenly alliance represented by Taichu, Qinglian, and Houtu, they are all enemies of the Heavenly Dao.

Humans and Earth have always been under the oppression of Heaven!

Nuwa first made humanity the spokesperson, and then greatly enhanced the power of humanity through the merits of the Great Dao, which made humanity completely break away from the control of the Heavenly Dao.

Even if Heaven gets rid of Hongjun, the biggest traitor, in the future, it will still face threats from the Human and Earthly Paths, as well as Taichu and his followers!

This is definitely not a good thing for the Heavenly Dao!
However, for the time being, the primary target that Heavenly Dao needs to address is still Hongjun.

Otherwise, if the Heavenly Dao itself is not fully powered, how could it possibly deal with the Human Dao, the Earth Dao, and the Primordial Chaos? (End of Chapter)
