Primordial Era: A God-Level Choice, Possessing Zhao Gongming at the Start.

Chapter 249 The Mastermind Behind the Origin Blood Essence!

Wuzhiqi's soul scattered, but his enormous body instantly began to shrink.

Finally, it turned into a blood bead the size of a fist, emanating a very familiar will that made Liu Er eager to act.

This is one-quarter of the Chaos Demon Ape's origin, and the origin of the Red-Bottomed Macaque!

Even though Wuzhiqi died and his Dao disappeared, the original imprint of the demonic ape remained, and thus manifested itself.

Liu Er happily put away the blood bead, but a look of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

To put it simply, this matter only involves Gun.

But on a larger scale, it involves hindering the rejuvenation of the human race and going against the general trend of the heavens, and only a sage would have the courage to do such a thing.

The Great Purity Sage's Great Way is without action; this is not what he did.

As for Yuanshi, he is highly suspicious, but the one currently assisting Emperor Yao is none other than Yu Ding Zhenren, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Kunlun.

Sending someone to kill Gun would be a sign that Yuanshi Tianzun was out of his mind.

As for his grandmaster, the Sage Tongtian, Liu Er didn't even give it a second thought.

If you doubt your grandmaster and your master finds out, he'll probably skin you alive.

Nuwa, being the Holy Mother of Humanity, naturally has no such possibility.

After excluding the saints, only the West remains.

"To obstruct the rise of humanity is to defy the will of Heaven; such a great undertaking is unwise!"

Liu Er shook his head, put away his Iron Pole Weapon, and flew directly towards the Huai River.

On the banks of the Huai River, Gun patted his chest, clearly terrified.

Who could have imagined that such a ferocious demon would suddenly emerge from the calm and tranquil Huai River?

He bowed respectfully to Liu Er, then asked cautiously.

"May I ask, Immortal, what is the background of that great demon, and who ordered him to harm me?"

Gun wasn't stupid; he could tell at a glance that this was a premeditated assassination attempt.

The six-eared immortal before him was there to protect him.

If it weren't for the Six-Eared Immortal, I probably would have been swallowed whole by that great demon long ago.

Liu Er didn't bother to hide anything and said directly, "That great demon was born in the Huai River and likes to eat human flesh. He probably took action because he saw that your flesh and blood were delicious. As for me, my master sent me here."

"My teacher is..."

"Zhao Gongming, the second-generation senior disciple of the Shangqing Jie Sect, is also a holy teacher of your human race."

Gun gasped, overwhelmed with excitement.

"What virtue or ability do I possess to deserve the attention of the Holy Master, who has sent people to protect me?"

Liu Er waved his hand and said, "No need for thanks. Please dig ditches in the Huai River as soon as possible to carry out drainage operations."

"Yes."

Gun nodded seriously and began to lead the able-bodied men of the Youchong tribe to work enthusiastically.

In the West, at the sacred site of Mount Sumeru, beside the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, Cundi gritted his teeth.

"How infuriating! Absolutely infuriating! We were about to succeed, but we were thwarted by that stinky monkey, Liu Er."

Zhunti was burning with anger. Why was Heaven so unkind to the West? Every task he undertook failed. If this continued, how could the West ever prosper?

Jieyin shook his head slightly, "So what if we fail? Whether Gun dies or not is not that important. What's important is the mission that the West will carry out next."

"Yes, senior brother."

Zhunti was dejected and listless.

In the sacred Kunlun Mountains, at the Jade Void Palace, Yuanshi sat high atop the auspicious clouds of the heavens. News of Gun's attack had already reached his ears.

With the wisdom of the beginning, it was not difficult to guess that it was the West that did it.

His face was icy cold as he uttered two words from the air, "So this is the West. I'll remember this debt."

In the lower realm, Gun devoted himself entirely to digging ditches, and in just five years, a large canal running north to south was completed.

With Gun's command, hundreds of millions of tons of raging floodwaters were dumped into the East China Sea.

The human floods, which lasted for more than a decade, have finally subsided.

Soon, news of Gun's great success in controlling the floods reached the ears of Emperor Yao in the capital, Pingyang.

Emperor Yao was overjoyed and greatly rewarded Gun, appointing him as the Grand Supervisor of the Rivers and Waterways of the empire.

He was put in charge of the great task of controlling the floods for the human race, and in addition, he granted Mount Yu to Gun to live in.

After Gun controlled the flood, he went into seclusion on Mount Yu, no longer concerning himself with worldly affairs, and lived a carefree life.

Five years later, Emperor Yao completed his merits and ascended to the ancestral land of the human race in the East Sea.

At the same time, a small portion of the merit bestowed by Heaven fell upon Jade Cauldron Immortal.

Because Yu Ding assisted the wrong person and was not made the imperial tutor, he only received about half of the merit he could have obtained.

Fortunately, Jade Cauldron Immortal was exceptionally talented and had already cultivated to the peak of Taiyi, thus narrowly attaining the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

He became the third person in the Chan Sect lineage to attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Yu Ding returned to Kunlun Mountain. When Randeng saw the Dao aura of a Great Luo Golden Immortal on Yu Ding's body, the resentment in his heart suddenly magnified many times over.

If he had been given this opportunity, he would probably have become a quasi-saint by now.

unfair!

unfair!

The lamp was constantly being shouted from within.

Before Emperor Yao returned to the ancestral land of the human race, he abdicated the position of supreme ruler to Shun of the Youyu tribe.

In the Tai Su Heaven, Nuwa's beautiful eyes sparkled. After the Chan Sect, it was fitting that Tai Su Heaven should appoint someone to teach the next emperor of the human race.

But he was too aloof and cold, and she herself didn't have many disciples. Who should she send?

Nuwa thought for a moment and then summoned the Xuan Tian Fire Phoenix Jin Ning to the inner palace.

Jin Ning walked in, her attitude respectful. "Your Majesty, you wanted to see me?"

"You should also know about the great rise of the human race, right? Now, the three emperors and three sovereigns of the human race have all returned to their positions, and Shun, the leader of the Youyu tribe in the lower realm, is the new ruler of the human race. Go down to the lower realm and teach him."

"Oh, I'm going?"

Jin Ning was taken aback and could hardly believe it.

Nuwa smiled beautifully. "My Tai Su Heaven is aloof and cold. If you don't want to go, you can stay in Tai Su Heaven and continue to keep me company."

"No, no, Your Majesty, Jin Ning is willing to go."

Jin Ning nodded hastily. He was joking, this was an unparalleled opportunity to teach a human emperor, a job that countless people would fight for but could not obtain. How could he just hand it over?

"Let's go down to the mortal realm now."

Nuwa waved her hand.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

With a thought, Jin Ning transformed into a streak of light and flew down to the lower realm.

In the lower realm, Jin Ning arrived at the Youyu tribe. After revealing his identity, he easily accepted Shun as his disciple.

Soon, Jin Ning followed Shun to Pingyang, the capital of the human race, to assume the position of the common ruler of the human race.

After Shun ascended the throne, Jin Ning diligently fulfilled his duties, dedicating two hours each day to teaching Shun. Shun, in turn, humbly learned from him and dared not slack off for even a day.

Under Jin Ning's diligent guidance, Shun rose rapidly in rank. He toured the four directions, reformed the system of rites, and reduced punishments.

It requires the people to "practice virtuous conduct and stay away from sycophants."

"Straightforward yet gentle, lenient yet respectful, firm yet not cruel, simple yet not arrogant," be filial to parents, and live in harmony with neighbors.

Under his rule, it only took thirty years to achieve great success in both politics and education, with all directions submitting and the whole world praising Shun's achievements.

Just as Shun was nearing the completion of his merits and his humanistic fortune was growing stronger day by day, the world underwent a great change, and a great flood broke out once again.

This time, the great flood came with tremendous force, even more severe than the floods during the reign of Emperor Yao.

In just one month, countless human tribes were submerged, and nearly ten million humans perished in the flood.
