This is so dishonest!

Chapter 419 The Human Race of the Heavens
As the goddess Nuwa used her supreme creative powers to mold humans from clay, announcing the official birth of the primordial human race, boundless golden light of merit poured down like a celestial river, causing the entire human destiny to boil at the same instant.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the universe, in the distant realm of mountains and seas, a similar response also occurred.

Before us stood the majestic and towering pillar that supported the entire mountain and sea realm, reaching straight into the clouds—the Jianmu Divine Tree.

Suddenly, without any warning, a dazzling five-colored divine light burst forth from its originally calm canopy, piercing through heaven and earth and connecting two different cosmic dimensions!

The source of this divine light is none other than Nuwa.

It contains an incomparably rich aura of creation and the newborn fortune of "humanity". It falls into this world with perfect precision, like a rainbow bridge that crosses time and space.

Light flows and Daoist principles converge.

Finally, the five-colored divine light that connected the two worlds slowly condensed and evolved into a long whip at the top of the Jianmu Divine Tree.

This whip is a warm, emerald green color, with countless innate runes wrapped around it, as if it were carefully woven from a single, complete gourd vine.

This item is the "Human Creation Whip".

It was naturally transformed and sublimated from the innate gourd vine in Nuwa's hands, and is a supreme artifact of merit specially used to "educate the human race and manage human affairs"!

Beneath the Jianmu Divine Tree lies the Divine Realm of Creation.

Two ancient deities, whose auras were as deep as the sea and who had been silently protecting this world, awoke upon sensing this familiar and joyful aura of creation.

They are the two venerable ones from the Mountain and Sea Realm—Tengshe and Baixi!

The Venerable Tengshe had a human upper body and a huge, winding, coiled serpent lower body.

His face was handsome and resolute, his eyes seemed to hold the stars, containing endless wisdom. He wore a blue robe, decorated with the sun, moon and stars, which made him look ancient and dignified, full of composure.

The Venerable Bai Xi beside him also had the appearance of a human head and a snake's body.

Her face was beautiful, and her eyes were like the clearest lake, full of compassion and tenderness;

Its body is pure white, and every scale on it is as clear and translucent as the finest jade, radiating a soft and holy glow.

She wore a white palace dress woven from clouds and moonlight, adorned with countless tiny stars. As she moved, her robes fluttered, exuding an ethereal aura, like a compassionate goddess descending from the heavens to the mortal realm.

The moment the Creation Whip appeared in the Mountain and Sea Realm, their faces were filled with genuine joy.

The two Venerable Ones stepped forward together, bowed to the Creation Whip that had descended from the sky, and then carefully brought down this divine artifact that carried the future and hope of the human race.

Then, the two of them turned around.

They looked towards the first generation of human sages of the Mountain and Sea Realm who had long since returned from all the heavens and myriad worlds and had gathered behind them.

At this moment, the sages were all excited and their eyes were burning with enthusiasm.

"Her Majesty has achieved perfect merit and has officially created the Primordial Human Race in the Primordial True Realm. This means that the Human Race has officially stepped onto the grand stage at the center of the universe!"

Venerable Tengshe looked at the first generation of human sages with a serious expression.

He said, "As the first generation of humans in this realm of mountains and seas, the 'pioneers' who were the first to be bathed in the light of the Goddess's creation, it is time for you to leave this 'cradle' and go to that wider world!"

“Those newly born compatriots who are still in a state of ignorance need your guidance, education and help.”

"Your mission is to lead them together onto the path of infinite possibilities!"

The voice of Venerable Tengshe was majestic yet full of inspiring power.

Upon hearing this, the first generation of human sages in the Mountain and Sea Realm were all excited.

They all bowed deeply before the two revered figures and the statues of Nuwa and Fuxi at the center of the Creation God Realm, and swore in unison:
"We will certainly live up to the high expectations of Your Majesty and the Holy Emperor! We will go through fire and water for the rise and prosperity of the human race!"

Seeing this, Venerable Tengshe nodded in satisfaction. He raised the Creation Whip in his hand high and addressed the crowd:

"This divine artifact was specially bestowed by the Empress. It contains the principles of creation and the power of teaching. It can not only help you manage the internal affairs of the human race, but also protect the human race and resist foreign enemies at critical moments."

"You should discuss this carefully and decide who should be in charge of this precious treasure that concerns the future of humanity."

Upon hearing this, all the hundreds of human sages present turned their gazes to the three most powerful and prestigious leaders standing at the forefront of the crowd.

"Then naturally, it should be the three human kings who take charge!"

"That's right! Ziyi, Youchao, and Suiren are the kings in the hearts of us, the people of the mountains and seas!"

"Who else besides the three of you is qualified to wield this divine artifact of merit?!"

The other sages also nodded in agreement, their voices rising in waves.

The three kings chosen by the crowd each possessed unique appearances and temperaments, exuding regal bearing.

In the center was a female ruler dressed in an ancient long dress, meticulously sewn from countless animal hides and spirit leaves, exuding a primitive and natural beauty—[Ziyi Clan].

Her face was beautiful and full of wisdom. Her eyes seemed to see through the essence and texture of all things. She exuded a unique "creative" charm that could create something from nothing and turn decay into magic.

It was she who first taught humans how to make clothes to withstand the cold, thus opening the path of "creation" for humans.

To his left is a burly, resolute-looking male king exuding power – Youchao Shi.

He wore a simple battle suit made of sturdy rattan armor and polished stones, and held a huge wooden staff made of branches of the Jianmu tree. His gaze was as sharp as an eagle's.

The achievement of Youchao was that he mastered the "Great Way of Rules" and was the first to teach the human race how to "build nests of wood" and construct safe dwellings based on "rules" on the treacherous mountains and seas.

To his right stood a wise king who appeared to be the oldest, yet whose eyes shone with an inextinguishable flame of wisdom—[Suirenshi].

He was dressed in a simple linen robe and held a wisp of divine fire in his hand.

Suirenshi's achievement was mastering the "Way of Hope." He discovered the secrets of "fire" and ignited the flame of hope and civilization belonging to the human race.

These three kings were highly respected.

After hearing the recommendation of their clansmen, they did not refuse in much way.

“In that case, let us take control of this!” The three kings exchanged glances, their eyes filled with an unprecedented firmness of conviction.

They discussed it briefly.

Finally, the Ziyi Clan, who held the power of "creation" and whose principles of "creation" were most aligned with the "creation" contained in the "Creation Whip," stepped forward.

She received the Creation Whip from Venerable Tengshe.

The moment the Creation Whip fell into the hands of the Ziyi Clan, the fate of the human race in the entire Mountain and Sea Realm was officially linked with that of the prehistoric human race.

This immense fortune seemed to have found an outlet at this moment, and instantly resonated strongly with it!
The three human kings were invigorated, as they felt their cultivation levels rising!
In just a moment, they broke through the bottleneck that had plagued them for years.

"Second Realm, Tai Su Daluo!"

Many human sages' eyes lit up.

This level of strength isn't particularly high.

But for the newly formed human race, it's more than enough!

"Then, everything is ready."

Seeing this, Venerable Bai Xi smiled with satisfaction.

She lightly raised her delicate hand and made a sweeping motion towards the void!
In an instant, a passage connecting the Mountain and Sea Realm and the Primordial True Realm appeared before everyone.

"Everyone, let's go!"

"Go to the grand stage of the primordial world and create a glorious future that belongs to you and to the entire human race!"

Venerable Bai Xi offered his best wishes.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The first generation of human sages all bowed in unison.

Then, they stepped into the passage in unison.

They had only gone halfway when a burly human man with a huge stone pot hanging from his waist said excitedly, wiping the drool from the corner of his mouth.

"Finally, we can go to the Primordial Realm!"

"It's time to carry forward the 'fine traditions' of our Mountain and Sea Realm on the grand stage of the Primordial World!"

"That's right! That's right!"

Another young man, who looked refined but was holding a thick animal-skin book, also had shining eyes and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"The Primordial True Realm is far superior to my Mountain and Sea Realm in terms of the abundance of its resources and the variety of its exotic beasts!"

"On this trip, we'll definitely have to rewrite our 'Classic of Mountains and Seas' and expand our recipes!"

When he said the word "recipe," he emphasized it, and the light in his eyes was even more intense than the brightest star in the night sky. The eyes of the surrounding mountain and sea people also shone, and they nodded in agreement.

"This is the right path!"

"Ahem... Everyone, be careful what you say! Be careful what you say!"

Just then, among the three human kings, Suirenshi, after hearing the two "gluttonous" sages' undisguised conversation, quickly coughed twice and spoke up to stop them.

He spoke with righteous indignation and earnestness:
"My two virtuous brothers, do not forget the sacred mission we have undertaken on this journey!"

"We are acting on the orders of the Holy Mother to lead the new human race toward hope!"

"As for expanding the Classic of Mountains and Seas," Suirenshi said, then his tone shifted slightly, and he adopted the expression of an "upright" and "rigorous" scholar.

"Its main purpose, of course, is to record the local customs, landscapes, and geography of that primordial true world, and... well, incidentally... incidentally to investigate the local biodiversity and ecological balance."

"It's definitely not for any 'recipe'!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Brother Suiren is right!" Many human sages chuckled upon hearing this.

"We went there to investigate the extraordinary diversity and balanced expressions of the prehistoric world!"

"Truly worthy of being the first supreme sage among our human race to master the Way of 'Hope'!"

"Brother Suiren's words are full of light and positive energy!"

"From this day forward, the 'recipe' of the primordial universe... cough cough, history, will surely turn a new page!"

Thus, the three hundred and sixty-five first-generation human sages, led by the three human kings [Ziyi Clan], [Youchao Clan], and [Suiren Clan], officially descended upon the shores of the primordial East Sea!

Their numbers are indeed not many compared to the massive races of the prehistoric world, which number in the hundreds of millions.

There are only 365, which coincides with the number of the heavens.

Among them are five Great Luo Supremes.

Apart from those three already renowned kings.

There are two others, one of whom is Huaxu, who holds the power over "life" and "reproduction".

One of them was Zhisheng, who was proficient in divination and sacrifice.

They were all outstanding individuals among the first generation of humans.

Below these five Great Luo Supremes are sixty Taiyi Gods.

Each of them is a leader in their respective field.

Half of them can be called Dao Lords.

As for the remaining three hundred human sages, their cultivation levels had all reached the immortal level—Golden Immortal.

Each of them cultivated a different path.

It can be said that these 365 people are like a living general outline of the Great Dao!

Its potential is enormous and its future is limitless, which is beyond imagination!
Nuwa chose them to lead the first generation of humans, and this is the reason why.

More than three hundred people, no more, no less.

This is a good opportunity to set an example for the human race and lay a solid foundation.

As for what happens next, that will naturally require other "shareholders" to come in.

~~~
When the Mountain and Sea Human Race came to the shores of the East Sea, all the deities of the heavens and myriad realms witnessed it.

But no one dared to make any rash moves.

Although Nuwa left the ancestral land of the human race, who knows if a celestial blade might fly down from the heavens?
Many human sages also paid no attention to anything in the outside world.

They methodically guided the new human race in their lives, production, cultivation, and exploration of the world.
Of course, these sages weren't just busy with their own affairs.

Some human sages with extensive connections even went to their friends' places to beg for favors and sponsorships after arriving in the prehistoric world.

For example, the three kings.

Back then, they were all outstanding representatives of the human-immortal lineage in the Celestial Court.

I've met quite a few people within the Xuanmen (Taoist) community.

For example, Guang Chengzi of the Celestial Immortal lineage.

"Brother Guangcheng, our lineage of Human Immortals has come to the Primordial World to develop. Could you please offer your support?"

For example, there's the ginseng fruit from the Earth Immortal lineage.

"Hey tour guide, would you be interested in opening a tour route here?"

For example, there's the Kunpeng of the Xuanxian lineage.

"Barbecue Master, are you still setting up your stall? We've revised our recipe; would you like to take a look?"

The three kings made full use of their connections.

In the primordial world, they plundered a great deal from the gods.

This prompted Nuwa, who was high in the heavens, to nod in approval.

"I knew I made the right choice!"

After observing the development of the human world and confirming that no deity dared to cross the line and disturb the human race.

Nuwa then left the Nine Heavens and even the Primordial Realm.

She recreated a world from the chaos.

This world was also called "Nuwa Heaven".

The palace in Nuwa's Heaven is still called "Nuwa Palace".

Just when Di Jun thought Nuwa was going to resign and go out on her own.

Nuwa helped Dijun forge a treasure called the Demon-Summoning Banner!

It was forged from a blue gourd, standing over four or five zhang tall. Above the white light, a banner hung, its light splitting into five colors, reflecting auspiciously in thousands of strands. The banner pole resembled the main beam of a palace, the banner itself fluttering, its surface shrouded in a hazy, empty space, seemingly containing black and white energies.

This treasure has three functions.

One of its functions is to summon demons; when this banner is raised, all demons await its command!

The second is to entrust a true spirit to this place. As long as this treasure is not destroyed, it can be reborn!

Thirdly, it can suppress the Heavenly Court's fortune, almost equivalent to the effect of the Investiture of the Gods.

Emperor Jun was overjoyed to have obtained this treasure.

Taking advantage of Nuwa's enlightenment, he summoned thousands of demons to the Heavenly Court.

Many powerful demons were initially unwilling.

After all, while there are advantages, the disadvantages are also very obvious. Entrusting a wisp of true spirit to another person is like entrusting one's life to another!

However, the Heavenly Court's demon masters and the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors took the lead in entrusting a wisp of their true spirit into it, and the other demons no longer had any doubts, all of them entering the Demon-Summoning Banner with their true spirits.

If you can't count, then you'll have to go to the Demon-Slaying Platform!

From then on, the demon race further united, and their fortune rose again.

This scene greatly displeased the long-simmering Wu tribe.

"Humanity emerges, demons flourish?"

"And you still say that your demon race doesn't want to annex all other races?"

The ancestral witches immediately resorted to their traditional skills and began spreading rumors: "Everyone saw that, right!"

Why has the fortune of the demon race increased so dramatically?

"It's because they've absorbed the destiny of the human race!"
