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

The vast divine power spread outwards from the center of the yellow clouds.

The remaining cultivators, including Zishu, were filled with fervor upon seeing Huang Yun's attainment of enlightenment, and they all unleashed their own auras.

In an instant, the auras of the eleven zodiac animals merged with the yellow clouds, forming a colossal curtain that blotted out the sky.

The giant screen continued to expand, gradually enveloping the entire human territory.

The twelve colossal divine beasts hovered in the void, showering down divine light.

The humans blessed by the divine light, as well as those infected with the zombie virus, experienced rapid physical strengthening and transformation under its baptism. The zombie virus dissipated as quickly as ice and snow melting away.

His lost consciousness was restored, leaving only his pure and powerful cultivation.

At the same time, as the entire human race was rapidly strengthened under the baptism of divine light, humanity was shaken to its core, and fortune increased at an astounding pace.

The twelve colossal divine beasts were arranged in a special orientation, forming a massive array.

Whether they were Great Luo Golden Immortals or Hunyuan Golden Immortals, all the zombies within the formation vanished the moment they came into contact with the divine light.

All the cultivators staying within the human territory felt a chill run down their spines.

It seemed as if a pair of eyes were watching them from the sky, and that if they harbored any ill intentions towards humanity, they would face great terror.

This situation made the cultivators' hearts skip a beat, and they began to look at the humans around them differently.

East Kunlun Mountain.

The Three Pure Ones narrowed their eyes slightly as they observed the changes in the human race's territory.

Four saints were born among the human race. Although they were only newly enlightened saints, it would still be very difficult for them to spread their teachings and reap the fortune of the human race in the future.

He secretly pondered how to act in the future.

After all, they all attained enlightenment through merit, and their cultivation level would improve very slowly through arduous practice.

Only by plundering fortune and merit can one quickly improve their cultivation level.

Humans will eventually become the eternal protagonists, and given their inclusive nature and ability to learn any kind of Taoist practice, they are the most suitable beings for spreading the Tao.

However, now that the human race has produced four great sages, there will only be more and more sages in the future.

This situation will be extremely detrimental to their future.

Mount Sumeru.

Zhunti and Jieyin, who were immersed in acquiring massive amounts of merit and human fortune, were seeing their future days getting better and better when Suiren and the other two, along with Huang Yun, successively attained enlightenment.

In particular, the techniques and supernatural abilities created by the three Suiren clans severely disrupted their plans.

After all, in the past, whether it was the disciples of the Three Pure Ones or those rogue cultivators from the primordial world, their Taoist magic and supernatural powers were not very effective against zombies.

In contrast, their Western religion's techniques are extremely powerful against zombies.

This also led many humans to join the Western Religion, hoping to learn its techniques and supernatural powers in order to fight against the zombie race.

But now, the three Suirenshi have created new cultivation techniques and supernatural powers, giving the human race their own cultivation methods, which directly led to the interruption of the flow of merit and fortune of their Western religion.

In such a situation, how could Cundi and Jieyin not be furious?

He secretly pondered how to harvest the fortune and merit of the human race in the future and spread his teachings among them.

Celestial Court, Yingzhou Immortal Island, Nuwa Palace.

Nuwa, who was in seclusion in the Nuwa Palace, sensed the changes in humanity and slowly opened her tightly closed eyes.

"As expected of the Dao Venerable, he actually succeeded in his plan."

"Humanity is transforming, humanity is manifesting, all spirits are submitting, and humanity will embark on the path to eternal prominence!"

"The calamity of extermination is halfway complete. Even if the Heavenly Dao deceives the demon race with its schemes, the demon race will not be able to cause too much harm to our human race."

"Heavenly Dao, your conspiracy will never succeed. The human race will eventually become the true eternal protagonist, and no immortal, god, demon, or monster can control the human race."

Nuwa smiled and waved her hand, unleashing a burst of magical power.

In an instant, above the human territory, in the center of the twelve zodiac animals, the image of Nuwa slowly coalesced.

The twelve zodiac animals surrounded the image of Nuwa, emitting roars.

"Humanity will endure forever!"

As Nuwa gave a soft shout, hundreds of millions of humans prostrated themselves on the ground and shouted in unison.

"My fellow human beings, the zombies have gone too far in bullying us. For tens of thousands of years, they have killed our people, sucked our blood, and eaten our flesh and blood."

"Today, in the name of the Holy Emperor of Humanity, I proclaim throughout the primordial world that anyone who dares to offend my human race, no matter how far away, shall be punished!"

"By imperial decree, the Human Race shall be established as a Clan Guardian. All Taiyi Golden Immortals may come to the Human Race Imperial Court via teleportation array to participate in the selection of the Clan Guardian."

"At the same time, Huang Yun, the Rat, and the other twelve zodiac animals are appointed as the twelve commanders of the clan's guardian deities. No one except the human emperor may move them."

"Order Huang Yun, the Rat, and the other twelve zodiac animals to form a clan-protecting divine guard of 1.2 million within 10,000 years, and to train them into the human race's twelve zodiac animal clan-protecting formation within 50,000 years."

"Fifty thousand years from now, join me in conquering the zombie race!"

"Order the Suiren, Ziyi, and Youchao clans to lead the Celestial Race to establish the Corpse-Suppressing Pass at the border of our human race, and to defend against the zombie race within the pass."

Qin Yu flew to the Twelve Zodiac Animals, standing one body length behind Nuwa's image, and conveyed his decree.

To become the Holy Emperor of the Human Race, one must do things that benefit the Human Race.

Since becoming the Holy Emperor of the Human Race, he has led the human race out of Mount Tai, opening up new territories and building cities throughout the prehistoric world.

Since the zombie outbreak, he has been working tirelessly day and night, leading human cultivators to provide relief efforts in various places.

Humanity's territory is vast, so he set up teleportation arrays.

He summoned the ancient divine beasts, including Huang Yun, who possessed special bloodlines and were closely connected to the human race, and bestowed upon them the titles of the twelve zodiac animals, thus giving the human race their own guardian beasts.

However, this is far from enough.

If he wants to truly become the Holy Emperor of the Human Race, he must personally lead the Human Race to completely defeat the Zombie Race.

Only in this way can he gain the approval of more than 90% of the human race and, with the help of the overwhelming human race's fortune and faith, prove himself to be a Holy Emperor.

Therefore, even though Suirenshi and the other two, along with Huang Yun, had already attained sainthood, he still did not immediately organize the human race to counterattack the zombie race.

Instead, they planned to form a force of 1.2 million elite clan guardians based on the twelve zodiac animals, including Huang Yun.

Based on the three Suiren clans, they led the innate human race to establish a divine pass, which served as a barrier against the invasion of the zombie race.

Upon hearing Qin Yu's words, the group of humans and the twelve zodiac animals, including Huang Yun, responded and went to prepare.

At the same time, countless human cultivators whose cultivation had reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal level or above took the teleportation array to the imperial city, and then went to the twelve recruitment points to register, hoping to pass the test and become the clan's guardian deity.

Looking at the enthusiastic human cultivators who signed up, Qin Yu smiled with satisfaction. He returned to the human imperial city, summoned the Human Emperor Sword and the Kongtong Seal, and closed his eyes to quietly experience the Daoist essence within them.

In the primordial wilderness, near the Sea of ​​Blood, lies an underground space imbued with Yin energy.

The space was filled with a fishy, ​​foul odor.

The stench of blood permeated every corner of the space.

Coffins surrounded a central coffin imbued with divine aura, suspended above the river of blood, connected by iron chains.

The laws of corrosion and the laws of blood continuously flowed into the divine coffin.

Time passed gradually, through centuries, millennia, and even tens of thousands of years.

An unknown amount of time passed, and at the instant a Heavenly Eye condensed above the divine coffin, the coffin slowly opened, and a creature with red eyes and fangs, surrounded by lightning, a bronze head and iron arms, and limbs pieced together from various biological organs, slowly emerged from the coffin.

Upon gazing at the Eye of Heaven, the creature let out a roar.
