Primordial Era: Exceptional Comprehension, Destroying Buzhou Mountain at the Start

Chapter 69 Hongjun's Intent to Create the Dao, the Instinct of Primordial Rules, and Di Qing's Creation of a Clay Figure

Hongjun gazed at the splattered blood and his damaged essence, his deep eyes filled with hatred. But considering the past, he made this decision. This decision silenced the Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Dao, unable to comprehend Hongjun's thoughts, said, "I don't understand your so-called clear distinction between gratitude and resentment. However, these are none of my concern! But having failed to break through to the Primordial Chaos Realm using the Three Methods of Severing the Dao, what will you choose from the remaining two methods of breakthrough?"

"I choose the second option! To roam the Great Dao and create my own method of attaining the Dao. Although I failed to break through this time by relying on the Three Methods of Severing the Dao, I also gained countless insights from it. Such insights are enough for me to create a new method of attaining the Dao." Hongjun suppressed his previous killing intent, his expression calmed down, but his eyes were full of confidence.

"Good, you have been able to create your own method of attaining enlightenment, so you can be considered to have turned misfortune into blessing." The Heavenly Dao spoke again, and then swept across the Great Dao River, allowing Hongjun to roam freely within it.

Hongjun roamed the endless Great Dao, comprehending its profound mysteries, yet he also inquired curiously, "Heavenly Dao, how do you evolve such a long river of the Great Dao? Moreover, I feel that the long river of the Great Dao you have evolved is inexplicably similar to…"

"Your guess is correct. Back then, Luo Lian's self-destruction tore apart the rules governing the operation of the primordial world, exposing the Great Dao River where the endless Great Daos of the primordial world converge. And this Great Dao River is the source of all the Great Daos of the primordial world, the laws governing the operation of the primordial world, and everything in the primordial world."

"And I am formed from the resentment of all things in the primordial world, the endless fallen beings, and the instincts of the primordial rules. Therefore, I am also a part of the primordial rules, and I can even control the operation of some of the primordial rules."

"Therefore, I am qualified to extract a small tributary from the great river of the primordial Dao to form my true form."

The merciless voice of Heaven is always filled with countless messages, tempting Hongjun to ponder and remain silent.

Hongjun's understanding of the Heavenly Dao far surpassed that of many cultivators in the prehistoric world. After so many years of study, Hongjun thought he understood the Heavenly Dao very well. But he never imagined that the Heavenly Dao concealed so much.

Hongjun chuckled mockingly, "You previously claimed to be the embodiment of the resentment of countless fallen beings in the primordial world. Now you say you are part of the rules of the primordial world! Whether these words are true or false, I find it truly hard to believe."

"Since you have chosen me, you will know this in the future. In addition, all things in the primordial world have spirits, and all things have instincts. Even the rules of the primordial world are not exempt from these. For example, the primordial world evolved day and night, the four seasons, life and death... The operation of these primordial rules maintains the stability and continuation of the primordial world."

"But what if someone breaks the operation of these rules, destroys the day and night cycle of the primordial world, destroys the evolution of the four seasons of the primordial world, and destroys the distinction between life and death of all living beings in the primordial world? Then the primordial world will be in complete chaos, and the chaos will bring severe damage to the primordial world, affecting its continuation and operation."

"Under such a threat, the rules of the primordial world instinctively resisted. This led to my birth, and I was compelled to maintain the continuation of these rules. I was driven to annihilate them, wanting to destroy their existence. And that is why I became a part of the primordial rules, and even received a small amount of the flow of the Great Dao River."

"Of course, whether you understand these things or not, you will understand in the future. For now, focus on comprehending these tributaries that have branched off from the great river of the Dao. Such an opportunity is not something everyone can obtain."

The Heavenly Dao's pronouncements remained as cold as ever, yet they were filled with many hidden insights. After listening, Hongjun seemed to have learned of a great terror, and fell into endless contemplation.

Hongjun didn't dwell on it; he knew that thinking too much was useless. Without sufficient cultivation, knowing more would only bring trouble. What he needed to think about now was how to improve his cultivation, how to create a method for achieving enlightenment, and ultimately, how to break through his own limitations.

Hongjun roamed the long river of the Great Dao, preparing to create the method of attaining enlightenment.

Meanwhile, Di Qing was becoming increasingly distressed.

The Immortal Venerable of Life and the Immortal Venerable of Creation accompanied Emperor Qing, holding the Nine Heavens Breath Soil and the Three Lights Divine Water. Accompanied by the Qiankun Cauldron, they merged with the Great Dao of Creation and the Great Dao of Life... evolving into a lump of mud full of creation and life.

He then molded the clay into tiny figures. Although these figures, once on the ground, were full of boundless vitality and gradually developed divine souls, they still did not evolve into the human race that Di Qing desired.

Over time, and with the erosion of endless spiritual energy, these clay figures eventually transformed into human form, becoming beings that appeared to be human but were in reality a race of clay.

"We pay homage to the Father God, we pay homage to the Mother God..." One by one, the little clay figures respectfully worshipped Emperor Qing and the Immortal Venerable of Life.

Di Qing looked at them without any joy, waved his hand, and ordered Xuan Ming and the others to send these little clay figures away.

After the little clay figure left, the Immortal Venerable of Life pondered for a moment: "It's a failure! The clay lumps formed from the Nine Heavens Breath Soil and the Three Lights Divine Water have indeed evolved into humanoid life forms. However, the essence of these cultivators is still the Nine Heavens Breath Soil. The Three Lights Divine Water merely awakens the intelligence of the Nine Heavens Breath Soil. Our Great Dao of Creation and Great Dao of Life are only accelerating the process of the Nine Heavens Breath Soil's gestation."

"They are equivalent to beings transformed from the Nine Heavens' Breath of Earth; they are not new life forms at all, much less the human race that Clan Chief Di Qing envisioned!"

Di Qing did not refute. After years of comprehension, he wanted to create the human race. After much comprehension, relying on the method of creating humans from his memories, he used the Nine Heavens Breath Soil and the Three Lights Divine Water to create them using the Qiankun Cauldron.

It can be created countless times, ultimately resulting in individuals. However, these are merely manifestations of the Nine Heavens Breath Soil, and are not the human race as Di Qing perceives them.

These changes truly gave Di Qing a headache. They also made him realize that the birth of the human race in later generations was far more complex than he had imagined. And Nuwa's ability to create humans must be hiding something.

Perhaps the birth of humanity was an evolution of the natural order. Perhaps it was a choice made by heaven and earth. And perhaps Nuwa was merely an operator, or a tool. The core of the matter was not accomplished by Nuwa at all.

After reaching this conclusion, Di Qing became even more troubled. How exactly did the human race come into being? How exactly were they created?

But if there are no humans, how will the problem of the witch clan's reproduction be solved?

Furthermore, having lived as a human in his previous life, he had always looked forward to the birth of the human race. But now that the human race is difficult to bring forth, Di Qing's heart has inevitably changed.

"Enough, enough... Let's postpone the creation of the human race." Di Qing shook his head, ultimately choosing to give up. However, looking at the Life Immortal Venerable and Creation Immortal Venerable, who had also gained a great deal despite the failure to evolve the human race, he couldn't help but say, "Of course, you can continue to comprehend and create the human race in this way."

"That's for sure. Creating a race in this way would greatly help us comprehend the Great Dao. We have a premonition that if we can truly create a race, that may be the day we achieve enlightenment." The Immortal Venerable of Life and the Immortal Clan of Creation exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with excitement.

Whether it's the Great Dao of Creation or the Great Dao of Life, what cultivation method is more direct than creating a life or a race?
