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

As the Martial Arts Cage entered the Heavenly Dao Hongjun's sea of ​​consciousness, the character "Great Dao Martial" appeared between the Heavenly Dao Hongjun's brows.

The character "武" (Wu) flickered between the eyebrows of the Heavenly Dao Hongjun, seemingly rivaling the power of the Heavenly Dao.

However, with the help of the Martial Ancestor's Seal and Hongjun's true form, the vast power of the Heavenly Dao was gradually forced into the cage of martial arts.

With a flash of light from the Martial Arts Cage, the Heavenly Dao Core was completely locked down.

"Many thanks for your help, fellow Daoist; otherwise, I fear I would not have been able to escape from the Heavenly Dao!"

Hongjun looked at the Qin Ming statue, whose light had dimmed, and a look of gratitude appeared on his face.

"Although I have sealed the Heavenly Dao with the Cage of Martial Arts, your crisis is not yet over!"

"You have merged with the Heavenly Dao, thus mending its incompleteness!"

"But the ways of Heaven are unpredictable, and selfishness arises from them!"

"If you don't find out why the Heavenly Dao is acting this way, you might still be in danger of being devoured by it!"

"During these three cycles, you should still mobilize the power of the Heavenly Dao less. Otherwise, the stronger your connection with the Heavenly Dao, the sooner the Heavenly Dao can break free from its cage."

"If that happens, Heaven will surely devour you at all costs."

Qin Ming said calmly.

The reason he didn't take this opportunity to completely destroy the Heavenly Dao was because he couldn't do so.

The Primordial World is the highest level of the Great Thousand Worlds.

Once the Heavenly Dao is destroyed, it will inevitably trigger an immeasurable calamity to descend prematurely.

At that time, let alone his cultivation being only at the peak of the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, even if he were at the peak of the Hunyuan Wuji Daluo Golden Immortal, his cultivation at the half-step Great Dao would not be able to stop him.

Therefore, he could only temporarily seal the Heavenly Dao to buy time for Hongjun to investigate the reason for the abnormality of the Heavenly Dao. Afterwards, he gathered the power of the entire prehistoric world to destroy the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao and help Hongjun to completely control the Heavenly Dao.

Only in this way can the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man in the Primordial World coexist, mutually generate and grow, and together strengthen the Primordial Origin, elevating the Primordial World to the level of the Eternal True Realm before countless eons.

Upon hearing Qin Ming's reminder, Hongjun's expression turned serious: "I will certainly keep your words in mind!"

"We will definitely do our best to investigate the reason for the anomalies in the Heavenly Dao."

"When will you two return from the chaos?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming shook his head: "The chaos is boundless. I originally thought that Houtu and I would surely be able to return to the primordial world within three eons!"

"But we have only just arrived at the center of Chaos, and it will probably take a long time before Houtu receives the inheritance."

"However, I will later use the connection between the Chaos Pearl and the Celestial Court to send Fellow Daoist Yang Mei and my fourth disciple, Liu Er, back to the Primordial World!"

"However, neither Fellow Daoist Yang Mei nor Liu Er attained enlightenment in the Primordial World. The moment they attained enlightenment, their auras were completely different from those in the Primordial World."

"Until they re-establish contact with the Primordial World, they will likely be confined to the Celestial Court and unable to roam freely within the Primordial World!"

"Otherwise, they would be considered an anomaly by the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man, and subjected to divine punishment!"

"Therefore, they are temporarily unable to help you!"

"Once they re-establish contact with the primordial world, everything will be resolved!"

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, this is the origin of martial arts. Please give it to my disciple, Xuanjun!"

Tell her I am very pleased.

"Alright, my consciousness and Houtu's cannot remain separated for long. I entrust the primordial world to you all!"

After saying that, Qin Ming, enveloped in the Martial Ancestor's seal, detached himself from the statue along with Houtu's consciousness and sped towards the Chaos.

"This great battle is now over!"

"No war shall be waged between the Lich and the Demonic race for the next three thousand years!"

Hongjun watched Qin Ming and Houtu's departing figures, his eyes flashing for a moment before he gave a faint command and then soared into the sky.

He needs to seize the time to improve his cultivation and investigate the reason for the abnormality of the Heavenly Dao.

Three cycles of time may seem long, but in reality they are very urgent and cannot be delayed in the slightest.

On the other side, Nuwa breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the matter was resolved. She then used her consciousness to traverse the primordial world and arrive at the human royal city.

Seeing that Xuanjun's origin was flawed and his essence and blood were greatly damaged, Nuwa condensed her Dharma form and descended above the human royal city.

The humans, who had initially looked grief-stricken, immediately knelt on the ground, tears streaming down their faces, upon seeing Nuwa's image: "Holy Mother, please save Her Majesty the Empress!"

"Xuanjun fought for the human race this time, living up to the name of the Human Queen!"

"As the Holy Mother of Humanity, I will not stand idly by!"

"This is the origin of martial arts bestowed by the Holy Father!"

"By merging into it, one can restore the lost essence of the Mystic Lord!"

"This is the Divine Water of Three Lights, capable of restoring lost essence and blood!"

"By combining the two, Xuanjun can be fully restored!"

"Mysterious Lord, your teacher asked me to tell you that he is very pleased with what you have done this time."

After speaking, Nuwa waved her hand and sprinkled the martial arts origin and the Three Lights Divine Water on Xuanjun's body.

Immediately, Xuanjun, who had been barely breathing, recovered rapidly under the blessing of the martial arts origin and the Three Lights Divine Water.

Sensing the changes within himself, Xuanjun's face lit up with joy: "Thank you, Goddess Nuwa! Thank you, teacher!"

"It's alright, you deserve all of this!"

"The human race has overcome this calamity."

"However, humanity cannot be satisfied once and for all!"

"Mysterious Lord, you are the Empress of the Human Race. I hope you will lead the Human Race to stand firmly at the pinnacle of the primordial world!"

"When your merits are complete, I will come here personally to confer upon you your title."

After saying this, Nuwa's divine form slowly dissipated.

Watching Nuwa's disappearing figure, Xuanjun's expression was resolute: "Goddess Nuwa, teacher, rest assured, I will do my utmost to lead the human race to establish itself firmly in the primordial world!"

"Where are the primordial humans now?!"

"We are here!"

"Based on the clan's guardian deities, you shall establish twelve border posts along the major borders of the human race to protect its territory!"

"yes!"

"Any sect or cultivator of our human race that wishes to establish itself within the human race must vanquish demons and monsters and defend the human race from crises within the human territory."

"Those who disobey will be abandoned by all of humanity!"

"Issue my imperial decree!"

"To strengthen communication between the human race and all other races of the primordial world, a trade market shall be established in the center of the five continents—east, west, south, north, and center!"

"Within the trade market, humans and all other races of the primordial world can exchange goods and services!"

"However, anyone who enters human territory and dares to disrupt human affairs, regardless of who they are, will bear the wrath of our human race!"

"From this day forward, anyone who offends my human race, no matter how far away, will be punished!"

"Those who offend our human race, though far away, shall be punished!"

Upon hearing this, the entire human race roared to the sky.

The battle against the demon race solidified the human race's fearless resolve.

They believed that under Xuanjun's leadership, they could overcome any danger.

In an instant, the fortunes of the human race surged.

The five major markets established by Xuanjun also brought the human race into complete contact with all the races of the prehistoric world.

Humans refine various elixirs, spirit wines, and rare minerals to exchange with the myriad races of the prehistoric world for cultivation techniques and all the resources that humans need.

At the same time, all human cultivators and members of various sects descended the mountain, and upon encountering any demonic creatures, they immediately killed them without asking any questions.

This has further strained the relationship between humans and demons.

Although the Demon Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi noticed this, they had no time to care at the moment.

After all, their primary enemy remains the Witch Clan.
