Chapter 147: A Rift Arises

From the knowledge passed down by the Human Ancestor, you know that many cultivators exist in the world.

Aside from the Nine Ancient God Clans, many powerful cultivators also exist among other naturally born races, either innate or having taken the Path of Cultivation later.

However, the Human Race totals one hundred thousand and eight, and none of them are cultivators.

Your Physical Body cannot even compare to some beasts that lack spirit intelligence and grow naturally.

Beyond basic survival, you consider the most important thing to be opening a Path of Cultivation exclusive to the Human Race.

You found another leader and told her of this matter.

She said: "Opening a Path of Cultivation for the Human Race must not be rushed; this road cannot be opened by just the two of us, the tribe must work together."

You thought it reasonable.

She also said: "Besides that, the tribe's reproduction is also important; their perception of the seven emotions and six desires is still shallow, and they need time to adapt."

You nodded and said: "During this period, let them grow barbarically."

The so‑called barbaric growth is to find someone you like, knock them out with a stick and bring them back to the cave.

She continued, "When the number of tribe members increases, they must disperse to various places; they cannot all stay in this mountain range, otherwise the race risks extinction."

You both discuss various strategies for the continuation of the Human Race.

In the end, you decide to name each other.

She said: "Mountains and rivers are the first foothold of the Human Race, and you are also its cornerstone; let the mountains and rivers assign a name, how about that?"

You said: "The Sangyu tree atop the mountain reaches the clouds, hoping the Human Race will one day reach Heaven‑Piercing; then name it Sangyu, what do you think?"

You both smile at each other and set your titles.

Time flies.

Amid the daily toil for survival, the Human Race rapidly expands; Yin and Yang combine, giving birth to many outstanding offspring.

You and Sangyu select some relatively outstanding members of the tribe to help you manage the ever‑growing tribe.

They each have their own specialties, leading a group of aspirants, creating a relatively safe environment for the tribe.

You and Mo Sangyu devote yourselves to advancing a Path of Cultivation for the Human Race.

In this matter, you develop a divergence.

She said: "A unique, unprecedented Path of Cultivation requires countless people to go forward and back, filling it with lives and blood."

"We cannot easily test it with our own bodies; if either of us is harmed and loses the Perfection Form, the Human Race's future will be shrouded in Darkness."

"We need enough people to ensure the safety of a realm; then we can take that step, deduce the prototype of the next step, let others try, repeat, and only then can we ascend to the supreme."

"Only then can we catch up with the Nine Ancient God Clans and surpass them!"

Sangyu always believes that you, in the Perfection Form, are the key for the Human Race to surpass the Nine Ancient God Clans, and must not be damaged midway.

She said: "We may die, but we must die at the crucial step; otherwise all effort will be in vain."

You do not agree with Sangyu's view.

You say: "A Spark can set the prairie ablaze; our emergence is to lead the tribe forward, a bright lamp illuminating the Darkened road."

"If even we dare not step into the Darkness, where will the Human Race's path go?"

You think the key for the Human Race to surpass the Nine Ancient God Clans is the tribe's indomitable will and the courage to act first!

Even without the Perfection Form, the Human Race can still rise.

What you must do is to condense this will.

You are willing to enter the Darkness, providing Guidance for the tribe; even if you die on that road, you will have no regrets.

Even in death, you will become a Spark, accompanying the Human Race onward.

You and Sangyu argue endlessly over this matter.

She thinks you are too impulsive, acting on emotion, disregarding the bigger picture.

You think she is too rational, overly cold, chilling many tribe members' hearts.

Neither you nor Sangyu can persuade the other.

Because of this, you both stop paying attention to each other, each wanting to prove your own path is correct.

You and she each have a group of loyal followers.

Supporters of you and supporters of Sangyu are countless, each making up half.

The Human Race's first split since its birth arises from this.

That night, she found you and said: "Our ideas clash, affecting many people; to avoid internal strife in the Human Race, let's part ways."

"Fine."

You and Sangyu disagree in ideas but still value each other; other tribe members have caused many conflicts because of you.

Temporarily separating is the best thing.

Moreover, after the tribe grows large, it is time to disperse.

She says: "Shall we also try the Yin‑Yang combination method spoken of by the Human Ancestor?"

The tribe relies on the Yin‑Yang combination method to reproduce, but you and Sangyu have never tried it.

The daily interaction mode has been activated.

Host, please choose an interaction.

1, Yin‑Yang combination.

2, Continue Yin‑Yang union.

3, Refuse.

Useless options appear again.

Just as Lin Chuan was about to choose, Mo Sangyu in the dream‑reincarnation struck his occipital with a stick, knocked him out and took him away.

Selection completed.

You and Sangyu completed the yin‑yang union Yushi.

But Sangyu did not, unlike other women, exhibit the reaction of gestating life.

Proud as she is, she is very angry.

So she united with you several more times.

But the fact still did not change; she never exhibited the reaction of gestating life, which left you both confused.

Therefore she is angry every day.

The frequency of your unions increased dramatically.

Until a long period passed, making you have to give up.

She said: "Why can other tribe members yin‑yang unite? Give birth to offspring? And we cannot?"

The only answer you can think of is, "Could it be because we are both Perfection Form?"

She asked, "Why?"

You said: "Do you still remember the day Human Ancestor created us? Omens kept occurring, the nine Ancient Gods spied, forcing Human Ancestor to depart, shielding the Human Race from heavenly secrets."

"Human Ancestor also said the Human Race is Great Path Form, with an innate Perfect Body; we, as yin and yang, are already complete."

"If we unite, what will the offspring be like?"

"Will it become Forbidden?"

"Perhaps this is why our offspring cannot be born."

Human Ancestor also said the Human Race's bodies are inherently frail, unable to simultaneously bear a unified yin‑yang.

You and Sangyu both have Perfect Body.

When yang is at its utmost and yin at its utmost, they actually cannot truly fuse, and cannot gestate the life essence.

Unless one day, one of you loses the Perfect Body.
