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

Chapter 71 The Future of Humanity, Returning to the East Sea!

After Nuwa finished speaking, she looked at the primordial human race covering the mountains and plains, and with a thought, more than a dozen golden jade slips appeared in her hand.

"These are all Great Luo techniques. These innate humans have good aptitude. Ten thousand years of cultivation is enough for them to have some basic self-protection ability in the prehistoric world."

Just as Nuwa was about to impart these Great Luo Techniques to the human race, Zhao Gongming stopped her.

"Master Nuwa, please do not impart the Dharma teachings; this is absolutely forbidden."

Why?

Nuwa raised a question.

"The path to becoming the protagonist of heaven and earth is extremely arduous. Humans must work hard and overcome all obstacles to obtain that sliver of hope from the darkness and become the protagonist of heaven and earth."

"If my master were to pass on his teachings to the human race now, it would seem like he was giving them a shortcut, but it would actually cut off the human race's path to becoming the protagonist of the world in the future."

Upon hearing this, Nuwa immediately withdrew the jade slip from her hand and frowned.

"If we don't pass on the Dharma to the human race, with their current strength, how will they survive in the primordial land ten thousand years from now?"

Indeed, in Nuwa's eyes, the human race she created was very weak, extremely weak, to the point that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were powerless to even kill a chicken.

Zhao Gongming smiled and said, "The potential of the human race is extraordinary. Aunt Nuwa should have faith in the human race's ability to reproduce."

"Reproductive capacity."

At this time, Nuwa clearly did not know just how terrifying the human race's reproductive ability could be.

Ten thousand years is enough time for the human population to reach an indescribable level.

The torch of humanity is passed down from generation to generation; this is by no means an empty phrase.

Nuwa pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly. "My nephew is right. The position of the protagonist of heaven and earth is not so easy to hold. I have already established the human race. Everything else depends on their own hard work."

Nuwa paused for a moment, "As for the matter of the human race becoming the protagonist of the world, I ask my nephew Gongming to keep it a secret, and under no circumstances should a fourth person know about it."

"Don't worry, Aunt Nuwa, I won't tell anyone."

Zhao Gongming solemnly said that once he revealed the possibility that the human race might become the protagonist of the world in the future...

The entire primordial world will likely be struck by a massive earthquake.

Even with the divine decree of the sage Nuwa, the witch and demon races would certainly do everything in their power to annihilate the human race in its infancy.

Nuwa smiled with satisfaction. With a thought, a golden scroll slowly appeared in her hand.

A faint golden light emanates from the surface of the painting.

At the same time, golden Dao patterns were slowly drawn on it, interspersed with gold and silver, exuding an incomparably profound and mysterious aura.

At the same time, an overwhelming aura of spiritual energy wafted towards us.

"This is."

Zhao Gongming's eyes flashed with amazement, and he already had a vague guess in his mind.

"This treasure is the Map of Mountains and Rivers, which ranks among the top-grade innate spiritual treasures. It was given to me by the Dao Ancestor when we were dividing up the treasures at the Treasure Dividing Cliff. It contains maps of the sky, landforms, mountains, rivers and geography."

"Furthermore, the vast universe, with its mountains and rivers, bizarre and wondrous sights, the sun, moon, and stars, and the earth's veins and mountains, is filled with boundless innate spiritual energy, nurturing billions of living beings. You can use this treasure to put the human race inside and then safely migrate them to the East Sea."

"I understand, nephew."

Zhao Gongming nodded slightly. Anyway, he was going to the East Sea to bring Ao Yang back to Kunlun Mountain, so it was just a convenient trip.

Of course, most importantly, the human race has boundless potential and is destined to be the protagonist of the future world, enjoying countless glorious years.

Spending more time with humans can't hurt.

Nuwa immediately summoned the first three people she had created.

These three individuals are the strongest among the 120,000 innate human race, roughly at the Earth Immortal realm.

"If nothing unexpected happens, these three should be the three founding ancestors of the human race: Suiren, Youchao, and Ziyi, right?"

Zhao Gongming secretly made a guess.

"This is Zhao Gongming, the immortal of the Shangqing lineage of Kunlun Mountain. You all should pay your respects quickly."

Since the human race is to be nurtured as the future protagonists of the world, it means that Nuwa cannot give the human race too much care.

Therefore, my attitude inevitably became a bit cold.

Nuwa's words were no less than an imperial edict to the three of them. After hearing them, they immediately bowed to Zhao Gongming with utmost respect, saying, "Greetings, Immortal."

The three of them do not yet have their own names and do not know how to refer to themselves.

"No need for such formalities."

Compared to Nuwa, Zhao Gongming's attitude was much better. He casually used his magic to lift the three of them up.

Fuxi spoke up, "How about my nephew and I go together on this trip?"

Zhao Gongming waved his hand in refusal, "That's not appropriate. If Uncle-Master Fuxi goes along, it will only make the human race the target of everyone's criticism. What we need to do now is to downplay the existence of the human race as much as possible."

"Make all the races of the primordial world believe that the human race is merely a product of Nuwa's path to sainthood. Only in this way will the races not constantly keep the human race in their sights, and consequently, the human race will face far fewer crises."

"My nephew has considered everything very thoroughly."

Fuxi nodded, agreeing with Zhao Gongming's point of view.

"Then I'll have to trouble my junior brother Gongming with this trip to the East China Sea."

"It's nothing."

Nuwa also spoke, her eyes filled with admiration, "Three thousand years from now, when Chaos preaches, I will reserve a good place for you."

"Then I, your junior brother, thank you in advance, senior uncle."

Zhao Gongming chatted with Nuwa and the others for a few more minutes, then he summoned the Mountain and River Map and put all the human race into it.

Within the "Map of Mountains and Rivers," there exists a self-contained space, complete with the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, and abundant resources.

Moreover, it possesses abundant innate spiritual energy; one could say that the Mountain and River Map is a miniature world.

Similar to the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron, except that the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure with offensive attributes.

The Mountain and River Map is a support-type magical artifact.

After placing the human race into the Mountain and River Map and confirming that the human race can survive on its own within it.

Zhao Gongming, accompanied by Liu Er, Xiao Heihu, and Heishui Xuanshe, descended from Kunlun Mountain and set off for the East Sea.

Along the way, Zhao Gongming did not rush, but instead took a touristy approach instead of traveling.

Under a clear blue sky with leisurely white clouds, a vast scroll slowly unfolds in mid-air.

For several days, Zhao Gongming was held atop the scroll. On the scroll, gold and silver light intertwined, emitting an incomparably powerful spiritual aura.

"Teacher, I saw them at Phoenix Perch Mountain. Those humans were extremely weak; their arms couldn't even hold a thousand pounds. Could they really survive in the primordial world?"

Liu Er asked, somewhat puzzled. After giving a lecture at Zixiao Palace, Liu Er wandered into the prehistoric world and naturally knew how dangerous the real prehistoric world was.

In the primordial world, all races, regardless of strength or weakness, generally possess a special skill that allows them to survive.

However, Liu Er observed the humans for quite some time but found no unusual abilities among them.

Zhao Gongming smiled slightly, "Humans have two most powerful abilities."

"The first is reproduction, the second is potential. With these two abilities, the human race will eventually stand at the pinnacle of the primordial world."

"Proliferation, potential"

A thoughtful expression appeared on Liu Er's face.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Gongming and his group arrived at the edge of the East Sea once again.

The East China Sea remains a beautiful sight, stretching as far as the eye can see, with the water and sky blending seamlessly into one.

Zhao Gongming put away the Map of Mountains and Rivers, and with a flick of his wrist, a large golden conch shell appeared in his palm.

This thing was given to me by the Dragon Clan when I said goodbye to them. As long as I blow it, the Dragon Clan will immediately receive the message and appear on the sea.

He channeled his magic into the giant conch shell, which immediately emitted a whooshing sound, and then, through the boundless seawater, it sank into the depths of the ocean.

Not long after, a turtle the size of a millstone slowly surfaced.

Then he transformed into a gray-haired, hunchbacked old man—who else could he be but the Turtle Prime Minister?
