Primordial Era: A Counterattack Against Hongjun Daozu at the Start

"Junior sister, you bear the hopes of humanity. Now, only you can restrain him." Nuwa looked at Taishang's bloodless face, hardened her heart, and nodded. Today, Zhou Yi must be eliminated, or the consequences will be endless.

"Zhou Yi, prepare to die!" Nuwa roared, and a great battle was about to break out.

A fireball fell rapidly like a meteor, as if it would tear the heavens and the earth apart.

Where it flew, half the sky was instantly dyed blood red, like a surging wave of blood.

Zhou Yi remained calm and suddenly swung his fist in retaliation.

"Boom!" A deafening roar shook the entire primordial world.

Zhou Yi crashed heavily into the blood, the surrounding soil stained as if burned.

He struggled to his feet with all his might, his body trembling from the excruciating pain, yet he gritted his teeth and forced his back to straighten. He muttered to himself, "Just a little bit more. If I can sever Nuwa's ties of destiny and restore humanity's fortune, I can gather all the humans in the world and make the demon race back down out of fear."

Before he finished speaking, the enormous figure behind him moved, its gaze fixed firmly on the sky.

Zhou Yi shouted loudly, "Nuwa, the people can make you their queen, but they can also bring you down from your pedestal. You attained sainthood because of the human race, but you turned against us for the sake of the demon race. From now on, you can no longer call yourself the Holy Mother of the human race and usurp our position."

His voice was hoarse, yet full of power.

Immediately afterwards, the enormous figure suddenly reached out and grabbed the thread of fate, which was several times thicker than the bond connecting Laozi.

Nuwa was stunned by the words, "The people can make you king, but they can also make you fall from your pedestal." She only cried out in surprise when she felt the thread of fate being grasped.

Zhou Yi, his face covered in blood, revealed a bright smile. "Nuwa, didn't expect this, did you?"

Nuwa was well aware of the consequences of severing the thread of fate. Her ability to become second only to Hongjun was entirely due to the fortune of the human race.

If she loses this fortune, her strength will be greatly diminished, perhaps even more so than the damage suffered by Laozi.

Just then, Nuwa's thunderbolts and red embroidered ball crashed down like the end of the world, causing the earth to tremble.

The enormous figure behind Zhou Yi vanished instantly, turning into specks of light that scattered away.

However, his goal had been achieved; the thick thread of fate had been reduced by more than half, leaving only the part about Nuwa creating humans.

Nuwa's aura suddenly collapsed, like a mountain falling down. She originally controlled half of the human race's fortune, but now she only had one-fifth left.

His cultivation level plummeted from the late stage of Sainthood to the early stage of Sainthood, making him even weaker than the injured Laozi, and he could barely stand.

"One person's strength actually injured two saints." The onlookers were all astonished, and discussions arose everywhere.

The clouds dispersed, and the sages were no longer concealed. Everything on the battlefield was laid bare. The majesty of the sages was utterly trampled upon by an ordinary human. The name of Zhou Yi will surely be etched into the annals of primordial history.

Yuanshi Tianzun was furious. He gripped the Pangu Banner tightly and glared at the Book of Changes.

"Boy, since you've tied up Senior Brother and Nuwa, I won't show you any mercy. Today is your end!" he roared, his voice echoing through the sky.

Before the words were even finished, everyone suddenly felt uneasy, as if the heavens and earth were shaking. The Heavenly Dao trembled, and Hongjun's voice came from the void: "Everyone, proceed to Zixiao Palace immediately, without delay."

The tense atmosphere froze instantly. Yuanshi Tianzun was stunned, never expecting to be summoned by his master at this crucial moment. "Your master summoned you, Zhouyi, you're lucky." Taishang Laojun and Nuwa left hastily after saying this, looking disheveled and completely different from their usual aloof selves.

Zhou Yi sat on the ground, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, yet he couldn't help but burst into laughter. His laughter echoed across the battlefield, proclaiming his victory—humanity finally had hope.

Inside the Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun frowned, his hands working incantations. His gaze pierced through the stars, looking towards a mysterious world.

It was a sea of ​​fire, surging and roaring, like a blazing sun, or a spectacle of interwoven laws of fire, quietly approaching the primordial world.

The saints departed, and this breathtaking battle came to an end. People stared in disbelief at this mortal who had single-handedly forced back two saints and severed the destiny of the Human Religion. Such a feat was unprecedented!

The sky became clear and bright, and everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

Meanwhile, Guiche was leading the demon army. "We've discovered another group of people to the north. Should we go and eliminate them?" a general asked.

"Destroy what? The Witch-Slaying Sword is already forged; there's no need for us to waste time here," Guiche said coldly. "Didn't you see that powerful figure is still nearby? Do you want to be utterly crushed?"

Upon hearing this, the general trembled violently, and the image of that powerful figure sweeping away everything, even a saint, flashed through his mind.

If such power were to fall upon me, I'm afraid it wouldn't even leave a trace.

"Withdraw!" Gui Che gave the order, and the demon army retreated like a tide, quickly disappearing without a trace.

Zhou Yi raised his head, took a few deep breaths, and tried to calm his heartbeat.

This experience was truly terrifying; if it weren't for good luck, he would have been finished long ago.

"High risk, high reward," Zhou Yi muttered to himself with a slight smile.

Then, he struggled to climb out of a large pit and looked at the devastated Buzhou Mountain before him.

The ground was littered with the corpses of demon soldiers. No matter how fast they fled, they could not stop that terrifying power. Many demon beasts even revealed their true forms.

Zhou Yi sifted through the corpses, finally selecting a large tiger demon and a large boar demon. He struggled to drag the two heavy bodies towards the human cave.

"Is anyone there?" Zhou Yi called out in front of the cave. "I am the ancestor of the human race."

Hearing the noise, the women and children inside the cave rushed out immediately, their eyes filled with worry.

Although they heard Zhou Yi's voice, they had no cultivation and didn't know what was happening over there.

Everyone was stunned and full of surprise when they saw the huge monster corpse dragging behind Zhou Yi.

"Don't just stand there, hurry up and deal with these guys, then I'll give you a good meal." Zhou Yi said, taking out several weapons from his pocket, introducing himself to everyone, and joining the human race.

These weapons were salvaged from the battlefield. Although they were used by ordinary soldiers of the demon race, they were considered rare treasures by humans.

"Ancestor of Humanity, you're amazing." Yao Yan, the leader of the human race, smiled and gave a thumbs up.

Zhou Yi laughed heartily and said, "My Endless Fire Domain is getting closer and closer to the Primordial World. Next, I will find a way to open up a safe place and bring a part of the human race there."

"Great! I've already located a group of humans. We can take them to the Endless Fire Domain for protection." Yao Yan nodded in agreement.

Half a day later, the two monsters were completely dismembered, and dozens of bonfires were lit in the valley, their flames shooting into the sky.

When Zhou Yi returned, he didn't hide it. Some scattered humans noticed the commotion and came running over.

The group of women and children, which originally consisted of only a few dozen people, grew to over a hundred in just half a day.
