Houtu is infatuated with me, so I made her lean against the wall.

The man, having come up with an idea, disregarded continuing the hunt and began trying various methods to create fire.

Initially, he repeatedly smashed trees with boulders, and although he did manage to create a ball of fire, this method was not suitable for widespread application.

After all, the strength of humans varies, and those born later in life are physically weak and cannot compare to them at all.

Therefore, this method is simply not feasible.

After that, the man kept thinking and kept making improvements.

Finally, through the man's tireless efforts, he found a way to make fire suitable for ordinary people: fire by friction.

By using a sharp stone to continuously rotate on a tree, the friction is used to heat the tree and eventually create a flame.

Having learned this method, the man excitedly returned to his tribe.

Upon seeing the man who had disappeared for ten years, the tribespeople were overjoyed and chattered excitedly, asking him about his gains.

The man shared his method of making fire by drilling wood with his own knowledge with his fellow tribesmen.

The humans who obtained the method tried it out and found that they could indeed create fire, so they quickly spread the method to the entire human race.

When all humans learned how to make fire by drilling wood, the sky suddenly changed, and a rich stream of great merit descended from the heavens.

This scene left all the ancient cultivators speechless once again.

"Who, who has attained the merits of the Great Dao?"

It hasn't been long since Qin Yu established the Dao of Alchemy and Nuwa created humans and proved her Dao. Yet another cultivator has already obtained the merit of the Great Dao.

Is the merit of the Great Way so worthless now?

When the cultivators saw the Great Dao Merit descend upon Mount Tai, they were once again shocked.

"Why is the human race so blessed by nature?"

"Yes, the merits of the Great Dao, they obtained them so easily."

"No wonder the Goddess Nuwa was able to attain enlightenment by creating humans; this human race is indeed extraordinary."

"Unfortunately, the Goddess Nuwa decreed that cultivators entering the human realm are not allowed to use their magical powers. In addition, Mount Tai is currently surrounded by the aura of human destiny, making it impossible for us to enter. Otherwise, we could try to enter and see if we could obtain the merits of the Great Dao."

The cultivators discussed it with envy.

As for Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao, their expressions darkened upon seeing this scene.

Humans are the race of the Great Dao. Anything they do that benefits humanity will naturally earn them merit from the Great Dao.

On the other hand, they couldn't get a single hair, which disgusted Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao.

On the other side, Qin Ming and Hou Tu sat cross-legged in front of the Netherworld Gate, a strange expression on their faces.

"Brother Qin Ming, the human race is truly blessed by nature."

Houtu smiled sweetly as she watched Qin Ming collect the Great Dao Merit.

"Humanity is indeed blessed by nature. As the eternal protagonist and the head of all spirits, its future achievements are limitless."

"Unfortunately, I have only deduced half of the path suitable for the human race. Otherwise, I could have laid out this path for the human race in advance, so that the human race could develop rapidly."

A look of frustration appeared on Qin Ming's face.

He had been too busy with other things before, and had no time to deduce the path of humanity.

The most urgent task is to help Houtu open up the tunnels.

Thinking of this, Qin Ming calmed his mind and focused all his energy on the Chaos Pearl to conceal the secrets of heaven. Then, he used the seed of the law of power inside to open a passage as much as possible so that Houtu could absorb the earthly energy inside and awaken her destiny.

On the other side, Mount Tai.

After the man received the merit of the Great Dao, his cultivation level rose again. Even the divine wood and stone in his hands turned into acquired treasures of merit. At the same time, the image of a Taoist appeared in his mind.

"This is the Divine Fire Burning Heaven Technique. Listen carefully, the source of this divine fire will burn everything..."

As the Divine Fire Burning Heaven Technique was explained, the man quickly entered a state of enlightenment.

Time passed gradually, and when the man opened his eyes, his cultivation had already reached the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

"Your disciple kowtows in gratitude to your teacher!"

Sensing the change in himself, the man immediately bowed in respect.

"I am the Pure World Dao Venerable. From now on, you will be my third disciple. Remember, if the human race wants to develop and grow stronger, it must rely on yourselves."

After saying that, the image in the man's mind disappeared.

"So it was the Holy Father. I never imagined that I would become the Holy Father's disciple."

Although Qin Ming never appeared before them, his essence and blood were integrated into their bodies. Therefore, although they had never seen Qin Ming, his name and achievements were imprinted in their bloodline, and they could never forget him for generations.

Upon hearing Qin Ming announce his Daoist name, the man was naturally overjoyed.

"Today, I am Suirenshi, the first patriarch of the human race. From this day forward, I will do my utmost to lead the human race to prosperity and strength. May the Holy Father and Holy Mother bear witness!"

"allow!"

As Nuwa and Qin Ming's voices rang out, the human destiny was rapidly poured into Suirenshi's body.

"We pay our respects to the clan chief!"

Upon seeing this, the group of humans immediately bowed in respect.

Suirenshi brought them fire, so that they would no longer be cold at night and would no longer have to eat raw meat and drink blood. The children in the tribe became much stronger after eating cooked food and were no longer weak and sickly.

All of this made the human race hold Suirenshi in the highest esteem.

After becoming the clan leader, Suirenshi began to lead the human race, dividing the land into areas and stipulating where each group of humans could hunt.

With these rules in place, the human race experienced fewer conflicts and entered another period of rapid development.

Five hundred years later, Mount Tai experienced another sudden change in weather, with temperatures plummeting.

The humans, living in the open air, were shivering from the cold.

Even if Suirenshi used the Divine Fire Burning Heaven Technique, he still could not improve the situation.

Left with no other choice, Suirenshi issued a proclamation to the entire clan, stating that whoever could solve the problem of cold would be granted the position of clan leader.

Not long after, a woman left the tribe, wanting to find a way to keep her people warm.

Walking on the biting wind of Mount Tai, the higher the woman went, the colder she became. Shivering, she never stopped, climbing Mount Tai step by step.

Just then, the woman saw a tiger frozen to death halfway up the mountain.

After thinking for a while, the woman approached the tiger.

Upon getting close, the woman's body immediately warmed up considerably.

"Yeah, how could I be so stupid? These animal hides, after a little processing, would be the best thing to keep warm!"

Thinking of this, the woman happily carried the tiger back to her tribe. After cutting off the tiger skin, she made some minor alterations and wore it, immediately feeling much warmer.

Sensing the changes within herself, the woman immediately went to find Suirenshi.

Upon learning of the situation, Suirenshi immediately sent women to promote this method.

As time passed, when all the human races had learned how to make clothes, the reputation of women rose rapidly.

At the same time, the Great Dao Merit descended again, divided into four parts. The largest part fell into the woman's body, the second largest part fell into the sea of ​​blood, the third largest part fell into the tiger skin, and the last small part fell into Qin Yu's body.

Women who attain the merits of the Great Dao also experience a steady rise in their cultivation.

Qin Ming's figure appeared in the woman's sea of ​​consciousness as usual, and he taught her the Weaving Heaven Secret Technique!

After receiving the cultivation techniques from Qin Ming, the woman respectfully bowed in gratitude and declared loudly, "Today, I am the Ziyi Clan's second patriarch of the human race. I will certainly do my utmost to develop and strengthen the human race. I beseech the Holy Father and Holy Mother to witness this!"

"allow!"

As Qin Ming and Nuwa's voices faded, humanity manifested once more, continuously flowing into Ziyi's body.

From then on, Ziyi became the second patriarch of the human race, leading them to continue living on Mount Tai.
