The Primordial Mosquito Dao Chronicle

Laozi disregarded their opinions, stepped forward, and addressed the heavens: "Heaven above, I am a descendant of Pangu, the Supreme Pure Laozi of the Three Pure Ones. Today, I have comprehended the Great Dao of the Golden Elixir and wish to establish the 'Human Religion' to educate the human race. I will use the innate treasure, the Taiji Diagram, to suppress the destiny of humanity. I humbly request Heaven's judgment. 'Human Religion,' established."

The words had barely left his mouth when thunder rumbled in the sky, and a vast expanse of golden clouds of merit suddenly descended from the heavens. While this merit was less than the amount Nuwa had accumulated when creating humanity, it still represented two-thirds of the total. As the merit descended, it was all collected by Laozi alone.

No wonder, since the Human Sect was newly established and had no disciples, it naturally all belonged to Laozi. Although the sect he founded was not the first sect in the prehistoric world—there were Luo Hou, Hongjun, Beiming, and others before him—he was the first among the human race to establish a sect, so his great merit was to be expected.

Lao Tzu also noticed the anomaly, but ultimately attributed it to the extraordinary nature of the human race. He didn't dwell on it further and sat cross-legged to absorb merit. Nuwa's attitude towards him made this senior brother lose face, and he was now more eager than ever to become a saint.

Three days later, Laozi had absorbed all the merit, and his body emanated an unparalleled aura, which continued to rise. This shocked the three human ancestors and the million humans standing nearby, who could only retreat to a distance to watch.

The next day arrived, and just as everyone was sensing the sage-like aura emanating from Lao Tzu in the distance, a rain of seven-colored flowers suddenly fell from the sky. Accompanied by ethereal music, strange phenomena appeared one after another on the primordial land: purple mist drifted, auspicious clouds danced, and golden light shone everywhere...

While these phenomena did not reach the heights of Hongjun's ascension to sainthood, they surpassed even those of Nuwa. However, the greatest beneficiaries were the millions of humans present. Bathed in the Daoist aura of the saints, both their cultivation and aptitude increased.

Laozi stood up, feeling quite pleased with himself. He had never imagined that he would not only attain sainthood but also reach the mid-stage of sainthood. He then nodded slightly to the millions of humans to express his gratitude before riding a cloud towards Kunlun Mountain.

Lao Tzu attained enlightenment, and the primordial world gained another sage. While it's unknown whether the Daoist of the Blood Sea North Sea truly became a sage, his aura is no weaker than Nuwa's. As for the powerful beings in the world, some rejoice while others grieve.

Inside the Chaos Nuwa Palace. Nuwa was the most displeased of them all. Laozi, with the help of the human race, established the "Human Cult" and attained the Great Dao. This caused Laozi's fortune among the human race to decline again and again. Now, feeling that her own fortune was less than 15%, she was even more dissatisfied with this senior brother.

Of course, Nuwa wasn't the only one whose fortune was stolen. The Mosquito Daoist, amidst the Sea of ​​Blood, also felt his own fortune draining away, though not by much, he could still sense it. He had actually anticipated this and wasn't particularly concerned.

The addition of another sage to the world can only elicit a bitter smile from the Wu and Yao races. The saying "below the sage are all ants" is absolutely true. The status of the Wu and Yao races in the primordial world has declined again and again.

Blood Sea, Free and Unfettered Island. The Kongtong Daoist had long since stabilized his cultivation, never expecting to stay here for several more years. Laozi had already become a saint, a fact he had heard from his original self before, but the fact that the other party had taken advantage of his absence from the Holy City still left him slightly displeased.

He immediately sent a message to his true self, left Xiaoyao Island, and headed towards the coast of the East China Sea. Having spent so many years among the human race, it would be a lie to say he had no feelings for them. He needed to hurry back and find out how they were doing.

Half a day later, Kongtong arrived at the council hall of the Holy City. Seeing Nuwa and the three ancestors of the human race inside, he was somewhat curious. He asked, "Are you all here because you have important matters to discuss?"

Upon the arrival of the Holy Master, Suiren and the other two stepped forward to pay their respects. However, Nuwa did not show any kindness, and said indifferently, "Fellow Daoist Kongtong, I founded the 'Human Religion' among the human race. I wonder what your opinion is on this?"

While Nuwa currently harbors a sliver of hatred towards Laozi, she also shows no kindness towards Kongtong. With her own fortune inexplicably draining away, it would be strange if she were in a good mood.

Seeing that Nuwa's tone was unfriendly, Suirenshi hurriedly stepped forward and told her what had happened while she was away. Finally, he couldn't help but ask...

"Holy Master, why did you agree to let Laozi pass on his lineage to our human race? Although the fortunes of the three of us are unaffected, you and the Empress seem to have lost a considerable amount of your fortunes."

Kongtong smiled and said, "If the human race wants to develop, it should constantly innovate. The law of heaven and earth is survival of the fittest, and this is also the law of survival for the human race."

Seeing that the other party still wanted to ask questions, the Kongtong Daoist waved his hand, "I know what you mean. Although the human race only numbered a little over 100,000 at the beginning, it has now grown to tens of millions after development. Have you never thought about the implications of this?"

"Fellow Daoist Kongtong, what do you mean by what you're saying? What does it have to do with Laozi establishing his religion? The other party is taking away the human race's fortune." Even Nuwa was puzzled at this point, but she was still worried about the matter of fortune, so she added a sentence.

Seeing that the four were puzzled, Kongtong didn't waste any words and said directly, "Back then, the three ancestors of the human race created fire-making, houses, and leather clothing respectively. The human race thus had the means to live and also had extra time to cultivate and reproduce. That's why so many people with extraordinary abilities have gathered in my holy city."

Now that Lao Tzu has passed down the Golden Elixir Path, even those unsuitable for cultivation have found hope for the future. It is believed that before long, humanity will usher in a new era. And as humanity grows stronger, its population and power will increase accordingly. Isn't that a good thing?

Then he looked at Nuwa and said, "Fellow Daoist Nuwa, one side represents 20% of the destiny of tens of millions of humans. The other side represents 10% of the destiny of hundreds of millions, or even tens or hundreds of billions, of humans. How do you think the future compares to the present?"

Upon hearing Kongtong's words, Nuwa, Suiren, Youchao, and Ziyi were all stunned. They certainly understood such a simple truth. It was laughable that they had been so indignant just moments before.

"Holy Master, since the Golden Elixir Dao transmitted by Lao Tzu is so extraordinary, why not let all humankind switch to cultivating this method?" Coming to her senses, Ziyi asked respectfully. She realized that the Holy Master was indeed not someone anyone could easily handle; she hadn't expected him to consider things so profoundly. They had all heard Lao Tzu preach, and the Golden Elixir Dao truly possessed many extraordinary qualities.

Upon hearing this, Kongtong simply shook his head. "The Golden Core Path, although it involves cultivating magic power, primordial spirit, and body refinement simultaneously, requires several times more resources and time than other cultivation methods. As time goes by, the spiritual energy in the primordial world will become increasingly scarce, and rare and precious materials will become even more valuable."

Just as in the beginning of time, the spiritual energy in the primordial world was vastly different from what it is now. The Golden Core Path is not something the poor can cultivate. The cultivation method I passed down is for laying a solid foundation in the early stages. Those who can cultivate to the Tribulation Transcending stage have the potential to become powerful figures in the future.
