Primordial Era: A Counterattack Against Hongjun Daozu at the Start

Once the Ancient Sacred Body reaches its peak, it will be enough to contend with a flawless Great Emperor, elevating Zhou Yi's status in the prehistoric world to that of a Quasi-Saint level powerhouse.

For all of humanity, this means that we can truly gain a foothold in the primordial world and even compete with the demon race.

Suppressing his excitement for the moment, Zhou Yi understood that now was not the time to indulge in these achievements.

"Now that I have become the ruler of mankind, from this day forward I will call myself the 'Ancestor of Humanity.' I will do my utmost to lead mankind to glory, and even when facing the Lich and Demon races, we humans have the potential to surpass them," Zhou Yi announced.

He chose "Ancestor of Humanity" as his title, not only because of the character "恆" in his own name.

It also symbolizes eternity, expressing the beautiful wish that under its leadership, humanity can prosper forever.

As soon as he finished speaking, the elders began to whisper among themselves again, and many of them looked at Zhou Yi with a strange expression.

Zhou Yi understood that this meant his current reputation was not enough to justify his uttering those shocking words.

After all, the Lich and Demon races are the undisputed rulers of the current prehistoric world. How easy is it for the human race to surpass them?

Therefore, many elders felt that Zhou Yi was too arrogant, and some even thought that he had lost himself.

Faced with these comments, Zhou Yi simply smiled and offered no explanation.

As for whether his remarks were exaggerated, time will tell.

"Regarding the development of our race, I have pondered for a long time and discovered that we are missing a crucial element!" Zhou Yi continued.

"Oh? Lord Zhou Yi, please tell us quickly what that is?" Suihuang asked eagerly, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.

Based on their previous two experiences, Suihuang and Youchao were full of confidence in Zhouyi's proposal, while other human elders also began to realize that this might be another great opportunity.

"For a civilization to endure, it must have a way of recording history so that our culture can be passed down from generation to generation," the Book of Changes explains.

"We can use jade slips in conjunction with magic to record important events!" Youchao offered his opinion, somewhat puzzled.

"But there are still limitations to this approach. Only cultivators can interpret the information. What about ordinary people? I hope to create a recording tool that everyone can use, and that is writing," Zhou Yi announced loudly.

"Writing? How can it be created?" Emperor Sui asked impatiently.

Based on past experience, whether it was Emperor Sui, Youchao, or other elders, they all recognized that this would be a great achievement.

"I have a preliminary idea, but it still needs someone to study it in depth before the true creation of the written language can be realized!" Zhou Yi replied with a smile.

Ultimately, based on everyone's recommendations, a naturally born human was chosen to assist Zhou Yi in this task.

This person was one of the first beings created by the Holy Mother Nuwa, and his cultivation had reached the Taiyi Xuanxian realm.

The creation of writing is crucial for the transmission of civilization, and its significance far exceeds that of making fire by rubbing sticks together and building houses.

Therefore, this process is more complicated and requires more time and effort.

Guided by the Book of Changes, and after ten years of effort, the human race finally succeeded in creating writing.

The Book of Changes did not personally participate in the specific creation of the text, but rather provided guiding principles and overall direction.

When writing was born, it seemed as if endless rain of grains fell from the heavens, accompanied by the mournful cries of souls.

The voice of the Book of Changes resounded throughout the entire human race: "The birth of human writing marks a new era in our civilization!"

Immediately, boundless merit descended from the sky, landing on the heads of Zhou Yi and the primordial human responsible for creating writing.

Unlike the previous two times, this time the light of merit seemed more abundant when it fell on Zhou Yi's head, but he still did not absorb these merits into his body.

And that innate being, after merging the power of merit into himself, saw his cultivation level rise rapidly, like a hot knife through butter:

Starting from the Taiyi Xuanxian realm, passing through the Golden Immortal realm, the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, and finally stepping into the Daluo Golden Immortal realm, the power of merit slowly dissipates.

The stone slab inscribed with human characters shone brightly under the nourishment of endless merit, eventually transforming into a treasure of merit.

"Because you created writing for the human race, which is a great achievement, you are hereby granted the surname 'Cang,' which means 'one ruler above all, and one ruler among the people.'"

After seeing that the innate being's realm had stabilized, Zhou Yi said to him with a smile.

"Thank you, from now on I am Cangwen." Cangwen bowed to Zhouyi in thanks and announced his new name in a loud voice.

This event caused a stir among the entire human race, and the doubts of those human elders who had previously held reservations about the Book of Changes vanished.

Regardless of Zhou Yi's personal cultivation level, it was with his help that three heavenly blessings resulted in the birth of three Great Luo Golden Immortals among the human race.

No one knows if this is the limit of Zhou Yi's abilities; if he continues his efforts, will the human race have a few more Great Luo Golden Immortals?

With such a supreme ruler, the human race will only become stronger and stronger, so no one will question the status of the I Ching as the supreme ruler of the human race.

Other powerful beings in the primordial world also sensed this and turned their attention to the human race.

Three times! In such a short period of time, the human race has received three blessings from heaven!

How could such a thing not impress those powerful figures?

Some wise men began to realize that humanity was far more complex and important than they had imagined, and gradually increased their attention to humanity.

Even the Lich and Demon races, who previously did not pay much attention to the human race, have now begun to focus on the development of the human race.

At this moment, Zhou Yi was not distracted by the external changes; his attention was drawn to the system's notification:

"Congratulations, host, for helping the ancient human race create writing. This is the beginning of human civilization. You are hereby rewarded with 5000 Destiny Points. Please check your account."

As the system notification ended, Zhou Yi's Destiny Points continued to increase, and at a considerable rate.

When everything settled down, Zhou Yi's Destiny Points had reached an astonishing 26100.

Among these, becoming the supreme ruler of humanity grants 10000 Destiny Points, while creating writing brings an additional 5000 Destiny Points.

Including his previous accumulations, Zhou Yi has earned a total of 10700 Destiny Points.

These 10700 Destiny Points were gradually acquired by him while helping the human race improve its strength.

The appearance of the three Great Luo Golden Immortals marked a tremendous leap in the strength of the human race.

The Book of Changes (Zhou Yi) had long known from its system that the prosperity and growth of humankind did not depend solely on the increase of power.

Improving the quality of life for all and creating a brilliant culture are also key to driving human progress.

"Unfortunately, before I became the ruler of mankind, I had already accumulated a great deal of merit by drilling wood to make fire and building houses," Zhou Yi thought to himself.
