Chapter 1782: Zhao Ling'er's Mission: Civilizing the Human Race (Second Update, Requesting Subscription)

"Senior brother, what should we do?"

Qianti looked toward Jieyin, somewhat helplessly.

Hongjun was highly wary of Nüwa and the others.

He disliked these two even more.

Though they had gained the qualification to become Sheng through their schemes, they had not the slightest clue about the path to Shenghood.

Originally, they had planned to imitate Nüwa and the others' path to Shenghood.

But the result—this path simply wouldn't work.

As the words fell.

A cold gaze landed on them, leaving Jieyin and Qianti frozen in terror.

Without saying it, the owner of that gaze was Hongjun.

"We pay homage to our teacher—we have absolutely no ulterior motives!"

The two immediately bowed, reverent beyond measure, not daring to even breathe heavily.

"Hmph!"

A cold snort rang out, and the next moment, the gaze withdrew.

Qianti and Jieyin exchanged a glance and collapsed to the ground.

Too terrifying.

That had been the greatest crisis they had ever faced since gaining consciousness.

One wrong move, and Hongjun could have eliminated them outright.

After enduring so many betrayals, if they too were untrustworthy, Hongjun would not hesitate.

The two wore expressions of relief after narrowly escaping death, daring not to discuss the matter again, instead turning eastward to observe how events unfolded.

With the establishment of Earth Dao and Human Dao, the three realms' authority was divided, and the Qi of Honghuang underwent a dramatic transformation—no longer was Tian Dao supreme.

The three Dao—Heaven, Earth, and Human—were equal, without distinction of rank or hierarchy.

But because of Hongjun's emergence, Tian Dao became supreme, while Earth Dao and Human Dao existed only in name.

Now that the three Dao were balanced, the entire world evolved in remarkable harmony, and the spiritual energy within heaven and earth surged dozens of times over.

Remember, this was still early Honghuang, shortly after creation.

At this time, even a single blade of grass in Honghuang could easily awaken spiritual awareness.

With spiritual energy surging dozens of times more, the number of races born in Honghuang would be vastly greater.

At this very moment, merit appeared again in heaven and earth.

This time, it was Tian Dao merit.

Because Earth Dao and Human Dao had emerged and perfected Honghuang, Tian Dao, being impartial, bestowed a vast amount of merit power.

Though not as immense as Da Dao merit, the quantity was enormous, allowing the seventeen Sheng of Earth Dao and Human Dao to advance several minor steps in power.

At this moment, the power of all seventeen Sheng had reached Hunyuan Eighteenth Layer, having completed half the path of Shenghood.

Hongjun's eyelids twitched.

Trouble.

These fellows were growing too fast!

He had schemed for hundreds of millions of years and had only just reached Hunyuan Perfection, barely touching Tian Dao.

Yet these juniors had completed half the Hunyuan path in a single day—what extraordinary fortune!

"Who is behind them?"

Hongjun felt urgency rise within him, gazing upward at the Creation Jade Disc to calculate—but could discern nothing, so he merely snorted, cast one last glance at Honghuang's land, and chose to shut his eyes and ignore the trouble.

He sealed the Purple Cloud Palace and devoted himself to comprehending the Divine Treasury.

He was now at a disadvantage; he must obtain the Divine Treasury before Earth Dao and Human Dao grew strong enough to expel him from the world.

Otherwise, all his countless years of scheming would come to nothing.

The mortal realm.

Nüwa and Houtu, seeing that Hongjun ultimately did not act, both exhaled in relief.

Though they held the upper hand through authority,

they did not wish to fight Hongjun to mutual ruin.

"Sister Nüwa, what should we do next?" Houtu asked.

Nüwa pondered: "Of course, we must develop Human Dao and Earth Dao. My five Human Dao Sheng shall practice the Way of Teaching and Cultivation, strengthening the human race and elevating Human Dao to its peak; as for Earth Dao, the Six Paths of Rebirth and the Underworld must be established at last."

Houtu nodded gently: "Sister Nüwa, you are truly wise. Let's proceed thus. Brothers, and Sister Xuanming, come here—let us jointly manage the Rebirth Cycle."

As she spoke, the twelve Ancestral Wus flew from Pangu Hall to the site of Rebirth, bowing to Nüwa.

"Greetings, Daoist!"

Nüwa returned the bow: "No need for formality."

Just then, Yuanshi and the others arrived.

Yuanshi had originally been extremely arrogant, looking down upon the stubborn Wu clan.

But since these ones had already attained Dao, he naturally would not display any disdain.

After exchanging formalities, they agreed upon a policy of mutual support and joint resistance against Hongjun, then each departed to attend to their own affairs.

Buzhou Mountain.

"Daoist friends, who will spread the Dao among the human race and make them flourish?" Nüwa gazed at the still primitive human race and said.

Yuanshi nodded: "Naturally."

Taishang frowned: "Yet before spreading the Dao, we should first send someone to teach them the ways of reproduction and survival."

The human race will henceforth be a great cultivator clan.

But matters such as eating and clothing must certainly be addressed; they cannot live like forest demons, raw and bloodied.

At least the several sages did not wish for the human race to be this way.

Such a state hinders the human race's development and brings no honor to the sages.

Nüwa smiled lightly: "This is easy—there is a fellow in the chat group willing to come over."

Yuanshi asked: "Is it one of our Eastern human race?"

Though he did not understand the chat group deeply, Yuanshi knew it contained people from Eastern nations whose culture aligned with the Three Pure Ones, Nüwa, and Fuxi, as well as some islanders and even demons.

As one who placed extreme importance on bloodline and origin,

he naturally valued the identity of the one who would come!

If it were a demon clan member or an islander, he would not accept it.

Nüwa laughed: "Relax—it's one of my own kin."

As she spoke, the portal of transmigration opened, and a delicate, luminous young girl stepped out.

"Greetings, Sister Nüwa, greetings to all of you."

The newcomer was Zhao Linger.

If guiding the human race in reproduction and survival was needed, none could be more suitable than Zhao Linger, a descendant of Nüwa.

Perhaps due to some connection with Nüwa's aura, as soon as Zhao Linger arrived, her qi instantly connected with heaven and earth, and her Dao of Creation surged rapidly upward.

She had arrived at the Precursor realm, yet her power suddenly skyrocketed to Precursor Peak, as if granted authority by heaven and earth.

This phenomenon left the Three Pure Ones utterly stunned.

Yuanshi exclaimed: "Miss, why do you share a trace of primordial affinity with Sister Nüwa? How extraordinary. Is this the exceptional nature of a descendant from another world's Nüwa?"

Taishang smiled: "It must be so. The myriad worlds are truly wondrous. Once we comprehend the thirty thousand divine and demonic Dao fruits and gain sufficient power, we too can travel far and wide, seeing the vistas of all worlds."

After chatting for a while, they began to act.

Zhao Linger began teaching the human race the ways of reproduction and survival.

The Three Pure Ones, Nüwa, and Fuxi contemplated the mysteries of Honghuang, awaiting the right moment, waiting until the human race was fully on track before imparting the path of cultivation.

The Honghuang human race was meticulously crafted by Nüwa, stronger than the original primordial human race—even without cultivation, each lived a full yuanhui lifespan.
