Primordial Era: A Counterattack Against Hongjun Daozu at the Start

Seeing this, other races also appeared one after another. Taiyi God and Dijun's expressions changed drastically upon seeing this scene.

They secretly wondered if the creation of the Witch-Slaying Sword was something that should have been kept very secret, and whether it was revealed to the Witch Clan by the humans.

If that's the case, the next opportunity won't be easy to come by.

Without hesitation, the two transformed into their true forms as golden crows and swiftly flew over the desolate kingdom.

In an instant, the dominant Wu tribe of the primordial world, the sage Nuwa, the Taiyi God, Emperor Jun, and the recently rising human race all gathered here, the atmosphere as tense as a taut bowstring.

"Emperor Dongdi, please stop them." Nuwa gave the order. Although Taiyi Shen and Dijun were unwilling, they dared not disobey Nuwa's command and had no choice but to act.

Just as the two sides were about to engage in battle, a beam of light suddenly flashed across the sky, like a falling meteor, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound.

The sound seemed capable of tearing the sky apart and cleaving through everything.

The sharp sword energy spread out, causing the powerful figures of the Lich and Demon races to tremble.

Nuwa's expression turned serious as a long sword fell before her, causing her to loosen her clenched fist.

"Reaching to the heavens!" Nuwa exclaimed.

With a hearty laugh, a young man in white landed on the longsword, stood steadily, and calmly surveyed his surroundings.

However, no one dared to look him in the eye, including Nuwa. For behind him, four longswords had appeared out of nowhere, their sword aura so tangible it was chilling.

"Tongtian, do you also want to interfere in this matter?" Nuwa frowned deeply.

Tongtian laughed, raised his wine jug, took a sip, and slowly said, "You've already run out of arguments, what are you still standing here for?"

"She's more suited to be the guardian of humanity than you."

Seeing that Tongtian seemed to be helping the other side, Nuwa couldn't help but question his motives, "Tongtian, are you also on their side? What is your purpose?" She was full of confusion, not understanding why Tongtian, a member of the Daoist sect, would help outsiders.

Tongtian calmly explained, "There's no particular reason, I just couldn't stand by and watch, so I decided to lend a hand. You'd better leave here." As soon as he finished speaking, the four longswords behind him flew out automatically and scattered around.

A cold glint flashed in Nuwa's eyes, but she quickly concealed it. The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was unbreakable by anyone less than four sages; this was no exaggeration. Immediately afterward, one of the swords slashed towards the Kongtong Seal, instantly severing the golden light that had bound Zhou Yi, causing him to crash heavily to the ground, gasping for breath.

"Tongtian!" Nuwa roared, and the surrounding space trembled with her anger. However, Tongtian seemed not to hear her and continued to drink his wine calmly, but his eyes were fixed on Nuwa like a hawk, ready to take action at any moment.

Upon landing, Zhou Yi immediately mobilized the human destiny within his body, manifesting his Dharma form.

Although this method was much smaller than the original and was just a shadow, he did not hesitate to reach out and manipulate it, and forcibly extracted the destiny of the human race from the Kongtong Seal.

Nuwa's expression changed drastically upon seeing this, as she knew that she was far inferior to Zhou Yi in manipulating and controlling the destiny of the human race.

It may be hard to believe, but it is true.

Just as she was about to stop it, a blood-red longsword was already hovering in front of her.

Tongtian continued to drink leisurely, but his eyes were as cold as icy stars, fixed intently on Nuwa. She could feel the other three swords quietly floating behind her.

"Tongtian, you will regret what you have done today," Nuwa said through gritted teeth.

"What is there to regret? You are in cahoots with Laozi and his group, and I chose to help him because I was willing."

Tongtian replied nonchalantly, warning, "I suggest you don't act rashly. If the Four Swords of Zhuxian accidentally fall, it could be detrimental to you."

Thus, under Tongtian's intimidation, Nuwa could only watch helplessly as Zhou Yi withdrew the Kongtong Seal: "Tongtian, I'll remember this."

"I've got the Kongtong Seal." Zhou Yi's face was beaming with a victorious smile, a smile that contained both the relief of surviving a calamity and the joy of successfully seizing a treasure.

Fang Yun, Ye Yi, and the ruthless man stood quietly beside him.

Nuwa sensed that the Kongtong Seal had completely lost its connection with her, realizing that the already unstable destiny of humanity was once again in turmoil. She was alarmed and felt that she should not stay any longer, fearing that the last bit of destiny for humanity would be taken away by Zhou Yi.

"Tongtian, I will remember this grudge." She said through gritted teeth, then turned and left.

Seeing this, Taiyi Shen and Di Jun also left silently. They had already confirmed Nuwa's stance and there was no need for them to stay any longer.

Zhou Yi and the others quickly stepped forward and bowed deeply to Tongtian and the Wu Clan. "Thank you, Sage Tongtian, and thank you all for your help," Zhou Yi said respectfully.

"Don't be so polite, we just can't stand her," Zhu Song said with a loud laugh, which made everyone around him laugh as well. Zhou Yi also smiled and waved in acknowledgment.

"We only helped a little; the rest is up to you," Di Hong added. "Call back those humans who have run far away; don't let them fall into the hands of the demons again."

The Wu tribe members were unwilling to linger and left after seeing that Zhou Yi and the others were unharmed.

As Zhou Yi watched them leave, he noticed two women in particular, feeling that they looked familiar, but he couldn't quite place where he had seen them before.

However, he believes there will always be a chance to figure this out in the future.

"Sage, would you like to come in and sit down?" Zhou Yi respectfully invited.

"Your human kingdom is in ruins, where else can you sit?" the Sage Tongtian retorted.

"This is fine, young man. Your wine is quite good, it ranks among my top few. Give me some more." With that, Tongtian shook the wine gourd in his hand and gestured to Zhou Yi.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Yi waved his sleeve, and eight jars of meticulously brewed new baijiu instantly appeared before Tongtian. These wines contained various spiritual fruits, and just by smelling their aroma, one could tell they were rare and exquisite.

Tongtian opened a jar, took a sniff, and then laughed happily, "Helping you was worth it; this fine wine is enough."

"But kid, you need to keep a low profile lately. Many people are watching you. Nuwa is here today, so I can help you a little, but if those unreasonable and powerful enemies come, you'll be in for a rough time." Tongtian's words carried a warning.

Zhou Yi knew perfectly well who Tongtian was referring to. He wanted to continue to curry favor with this sage, but found that his efforts had no effect on this capricious sage.

"Free and easy, a Taoist master who has reached the heavens," Zhou Yi thought to himself.

At this moment, the human tribe was in chaos; the valley was razed to the ground, and the earth was riddled with cracks. Fortunately, there were few casualties; although many members of the hunting party were injured, no one died.

With the help of Xiao Ling'er and Shan, everyone gathered in a safe area.

"Everyone, we have a long way to go and a heavy responsibility to bear." Zhou Yi looked at the devastation in the valley, his brows furrowed, pondering the future.

Although they have temporarily repelled Nuwa, the future of humanity remains fraught with challenges and requires more careful planning.
