Primordial Era: A Counterattack Against Hongjun Daozu at the Start

"Ancestor, our clan suffered minimal losses in successfully repelling those rogue cultivators, and there are no new threats in the short term. However, based on my observation, these rogue cultivators are unlikely to give up easily, so we must prepare our defenses!" Emperor Sui reminded us.

"This matter certainly requires careful consideration. From now on, we will establish a standing guard force to closely monitor the surrounding area."

"This guard force will be temporarily commanded by the Ziyi Clan. At the same time, we request that the three Great Golden Immortals each establish three armies to be responsible for our conquests," Zhou Yi commanded.

Although humanity now possesses its own armed forces, the system still needs further improvement.

Taking advantage of this victory, Zhouyi plans to thoroughly establish a complete military system to ensure that humanity possesses sufficient combat capabilities.

In order to encourage more people to improve their cultivation, Zhou Yi decided to establish only four main forces: the first force is the guard army mentioned earlier, led by the Ziyi clan, which is responsible for protecting the safety of the clan.

The second force will select the strongest warriors to form an elite unit, commanded by the Emperor Sui; the third force will be the largest, led by the Youchao clan, to handle large-scale operations.

The fourth unit, composed of members skilled in covert operations and intelligence gathering, was responsible for information gathering and was under the command of Kurawa.

This arrangement aligns with the concept of "wind, forest, fire, and mountain," marking the initial formation of a relatively complete military system.

The troops commanded by Cang Wenshi focused on intelligence gathering and covert operations, which matched the characteristics of "wind," and were therefore named the Swift Wind Army by the Book of Changes.

The army led by Youchao, as the core force of the human race in battle, conformed to the spirit of "forest" and was given the name Maolin Army by the Book of Changes.

The elite team commanded by the Fire Emperor was adept at breaking through enemy lines, embodying the ferocity of "fire." The Book of Changes named them the Fiery Fire Star Team.

The Ziyi clan's garrison was responsible for protecting human safety and symbolized the stability of a "mountain," which was referred to as the Rock Guard in the Book of Changes.

The four teams—Swift Wind, Lush Forest, Blazing Fire, and Rock—represent speed, stability, intensity, and solidity, respectively.

Together, they form the basic framework of the human army, sufficient to cope with various challenges in the early stages.

More detailed issues can be left to be gradually improved in the future, and there is no need for Zhou Yi to personally worry about them.

Afterwards, Zhou Yi spent some time searching the system and finally found a suitable treasure.

Treasure Name: Heavenly Court Military Strategy!

Level: Intermediate! Required Destiny Points: 5000!

Description: Originating from the tactics used by Heavenly Court warriors in the world of "Covering the Sky," this technique allows soldiers to form powerful formations, enhancing overall combat effectiveness.

The Heavenly Court's military strategy not only enables large armies to form complex battle formations, but also allows small groups to implement effective cooperative strategies. In this way, human warriors can exert power beyond what is possible for an individual through close cooperation.

Although there are many powerful formations in the prehistoric world, such as the Star Formation of the Demon Clan and the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation of the Intercepting Sect, the Heavenly Court's military tactics in the world of "Covering the Sky" should not be underestimated.

As for which one is stronger, only actual combat can tell.

After consuming 5000 Destiny Points, Zhou Yi obtained the Heavenly Court's Military Strategy and passed it on to four generals, including Suihuang.

They were extremely excited about this, because with this ingenious tactic, the future performance of the Terran army would surely be even more glorious.

After receiving the Heavenly Court's military strategy, the four members of the Sui Emperor's group did not leave immediately. Instead, they reported an important piece of information to Zhou Yi: "Ancestor of Humanity, while clearing out those wandering cultivators, we unexpectedly discovered the powerful existence of the Dragon Clan."

"The Dragon Clan? Even this ancient race has been dragged into this?" Zhou Yi asked in surprise.

The dragon race was once one of the dominant forces in ancient times, but its strength has greatly declined after the Dragon-Han Cataclysm.

The dragon, phoenix, and qilin clans were merely tools used by a higher level of power during that great calamity.

The struggle for sainthood between Hongjun and Luohou was the real reason behind that disaster.

In the end, Hongjun successfully ascended to the top, becoming the first saint in the primordial world since the creation of heaven and earth.

However, the three clans of dragon, phoenix and qilin paid a heavy price in this struggle. The three clans consumed each other and were severely weakened, and in the end they had to withdraw from the stage of history.

Today, it seems that the dragons have developed an interest in the human race, perhaps because the human race has repeatedly received blessings from heaven, which has aroused the dragons' greed.

Looking back, the great war between the three races left the primordial world riddled with holes, and thus burdened it with heavy karma.

The Qilin clan was almost completely wiped out, making them a rare sight in the current prehistoric world; the Phoenix clan was able to continue its lineage thanks to its ancestral phoenix guarding the immortal volcano in the south.

The Dragon Clan, having gained immeasurable merit from eternally suppressing the Sea Eye, is in the best condition among the three clans, retaining a certain level of strength.

Nevertheless, countless elite dragons sacrificed their lives to suppress the sea eye.

Only by accumulating a great deal of merit can one gradually wash away the karma on their body and improve the fate of the dragon race.

Therefore, when they saw the human race continuously accumulating merit, the dragon race became covetous and decided to investigate.

But they did not anticipate that the humans would take the initiative and eliminate all those who tried to spy.

"After all, the dragon race is an ancient and powerful race, and we cannot take this matter lightly," said Emperor Sui.

"No need to worry, we don't need to pay attention to it for now. Even if the dragons don't come looking for us in the future, I will take the initiative to go to them!" Zhou Yi replied.

For a period of time afterward, the four members of the Suihuang clan focused on building the four armies of "Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain," while Zhou Yi went into seclusion to cultivate.

However, before Zhou Yi could delve deeper into his cultivation, the four members of the Suihuang Clan came to him with worries.

It turns out that in order to establish the "Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain" four armies, it is necessary to select the best warriors from the entire human race.

According to the standards of the Book of Changes, the four armies of "Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain" must be selected from the best of the best, and no one who is just there to fill the ranks is allowed.

For all human beings, being able to join these four armies is a great honor, and there are many applicants.

However, even after going through layers of selection, it was still difficult to meet the requirements for the team's size, which made the four members of the Suihuang team deeply dissatisfied.

It's not that the human race lacks geniuses, but rather that the Heaven-Covering Emperor's Law has only been in existence for a century, making it difficult to cultivate enough strong individuals in a short period.

In addition, the requirements of the Book of Changes are extremely high; those who have not reached the Immortal Three-Slaying Dao realm are not even qualified to participate.

Left with no other choice, Emperor Sui and his three companions had to visit the Book of Changes again, hoping to temporarily postpone the formation of the four armies of "Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain".

In fact, Zhou Yi never expected that the four people, including Suihuang, could organize these four teams in a short period of time.

However, the problem mentioned by the Emperor Sui does reflect the current predicament faced by the human race: most people's cultivation levels are not high. Their cultivation time is short, and many haven't even reached the Sendai Secret Realm, let alone the Immortal Level 3, the Dao-Severing Realm.
