Primordial Era: A Counterattack Against Hongjun Daozu at the Start

"Perhaps we still need the help of the Sage of Literature." Di Hong's voice revealed a hint of helplessness.

The water god's face turned bright red instantly, and he was about to retort, but when he turned to look at the scene outside the space, he was so surprised that he couldn't speak.

The familiar primordial world has vanished, replaced by a dazzling golden light, as if endless radiance is shining, containing a gentle, refined atmosphere.

Mysterious characters emerged and moved through the light.

The instant the space cracked open, countless words poured into the fissure, slowly but visibly repairing the shattered space to its original state.

"This place is rather special; ordinary spatial magic won't work to escape it," Zhou Yi explained, shaking his head slightly.

After he finished speaking, he gently raised his hand, and everyone saw a flash before their eyes before returning to their original positions.

Di Hong sighed deeply, looking at Zhou Yi with a complicated expression, and said, "Today we have witnessed the Sage of Literature's abilities and words. We will come to you again if we need anything in the future."

He then turned and left, followed closely by Zhu Jiuyin, the Water God, and others.

"Brother, he didn't even agree to our request, so why are you still being so polite to him?" the Water God complained in a low voice as he walked.

Although their attitude towards the Book of Changes has exceeded initial expectations, they are confident in themselves. With the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, they are confident that they can contend with the Book of Changes.

"All the troubles have been resolved, and now everything can get back on track." Zhou Yi took a deep breath, feeling a sense of relief as the pressure that had been weighing on his heart for so long was finally released.

"The previous threat from the demon race and the later pressure from the saints are no longer enough to pose a fatal threat to me." Zhou Yi muttered to himself. As he turned around, golden light flashed again, and his figure returned to that unique space.

If someone can climb the mountain of books and search carefully, they will find this space hidden deep within it.

"The space I created by mixing my past merits with the aura of enlightenment is so vast that even Emperor Hong couldn't break through it. It truly gave me an unexpected safe haven."

Zhou Yi's lips curled up slightly.

Then, he relaxed in the chair and fully enjoyed this rare moment of comfort.

All the heavy responsibilities seem to have been lifted. The future will be a golden age for the rapid development of humanity.

Zhou Yi no longer needs to exert as much effort as before. It is enough to simply guard quietly and watch the human race grow stronger.

Time flies like an arrow, as fleeting as a white horse galloping past a crack in the wall.

In the blink of an eye, a century has passed. During this time, human society has made tremendous progress, and prosperity has erupted like a geyser.

Through a rigorous selection process, over a million talented individuals were chosen as officials, each fulfilling their duties and managing a population of hundreds of millions in an orderly manner.

In terms of cultivation, the human race has also achieved brilliant success, producing hundreds of Golden Immortal level experts, and even two who have reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

With this, the human race filled the last gap in basic combat strength.

One day, while Zhou Yi was cultivating himself amidst the mountains of books, he was suddenly interrupted by a familiar system notification sound.

He glanced at the system interface reflexively, and then froze.

"One million points! This is the richest I've ever been since I got the system." A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he quickly made a decision.

"System, use 200,000 points for random acceleration."

Zhou Yi plans to use the power of the system to summon some aid to promote the development of the human race.

After all, with the rapid growth of the population, various affairs have become increasingly complex, and it is difficult for him to handle them all by himself.

The next moment, Zhou Yi's figure disappeared from the mountain of books, and when he reappeared, he was already in the sky above the desolate country.

The present-day wilderness is vast, with houses densely packed together, creating a spectacular sight that is truly breathtaking.

When Emperor Sui noticed Zhou Yi's arrival, he hurriedly came to meet him.

Seeing his anxious expression, Zhou Yi felt somewhat puzzled.

"What happened? Why the rush?" After frowning and pondering for a moment, Suihuang replied, "Ancestral God, we have already occupied all the surrounding lands, but the population is still increasing. If we want to continue developing, we must expand our territory."

At this point, Emperor Sui hesitated, for he himself had never imagined that the human race would one day embark on a path of expansion.

Zhou Yi was not surprised by this and calmly said, "Let Xiao Ling'er and San handle this matter. They are both decisive and perfectly capable. The most important thing now is to properly settle our people. Don't worry about anything else, I'll take care of it."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Sui smiled with satisfaction and immediately replied, "Understood, I will make the arrangements right away."

Then, a momentous event that would shock the entire prehistoric world was about to occur.

The human race embarked on a massive expansion, dividing up territory and conquering new areas.

In the past, such behavior might not have attracted much attention, and might even have been seen as a presumptuous farce by other races.

However, times have changed, and now the I Ching is in charge of the human race.

Therefore, some races withdrew from their territories in advance to make way for the humans.

Surprisingly, the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan did not react in any way, effectively condoning the actions of the humans.

Thus, in the primordial world, this became an open secret: all forces chose to remain silent.

The human race also knew when to stop, and after expanding outwards for a certain distance, they ceased their advance.

Wave after wave of humans surged forth like a tide, establishing fortified cities in various places and taking root there. For a time, the land area occupied by humans was second only to that of the demon race and the witch race.

In the sea of ​​blood, Styx's figure quietly emerged. "I never thought that this insignificant human race would have such a day."

He pondered, "This time, they were able to seize such a vast amount of land, yet the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan did not intervene."

A hint of doubt flashed in Styx's eyes as he muttered to himself, "Could Zhou Yi have become this powerful?"

Although he had sensed that the aura emanating from the Book of Changes was similar to that of a sage, he had not yet truly become a sage.

Humanity's bold expansion has successfully attracted his attention.

"Hmph, what do humans have to do with us? My lord, what are you planning to do..." A lowly Asura soldier was kicked back to his original spot by Styx before he could even finish speaking.

"Enough with the nonsense!" Styx roared. "Why is it that Nuwa became a saint after creating humans, while I, who created you, can only remain at this stage?"

Speaking of the Book of Changes, a spark of curiosity ignited in him. "How powerful can someone who hasn't even become a saint be?"

Thinking of Zhen Yuanzi's words, Styx could no longer suppress his inner impulse.

Having not made a move for several eras, he now yearned to spar with Zhou Yi, the human known as the Sage of Literature, to see what made him so special.

"Fine, let's go see what secrets the human race is hiding." Styx snorted coldly, his figure soaring into the sky, transforming into a streak of blood-red light that tore through space, and sped towards the direction where the human race was located.
