Chapter 102: A Massive Leap

Once the ancient holy body reaches the great completion stage, it can contend with the perfect, flawless Great Emperor, causing Zhou Yi's standing in the Vast Wilderness World to rise to that of a Quasi Saint‑level powerhouse.

For the entire Human Race, this means truly being able to stand firm in the Vast Wilderness World, and even to rival the Demon Race.

Suppressing his inner excitement for the moment, Zhou Yi understood that now was not the time to indulge in these achievements.

"Since I have become the common lord of the Human Race, from today I will call myself 'Human Ancestor', and I will spare no effort to lead the Human Race toward glory; even when facing the two races of the witches and the demons, our Human Race can still surpass them," Zhou Yi announced.

He chose "Human Ancestor" as his title, not only because it is taken from the character meaning "constant" in his own name.

It also signifies eternity, expressing his hopeful wish that under his leadership the Human Race may prosper forever.

As soon as the words fell, many elders began to whisper again, and several of them cast glances at Zhou Yi with a hint of peculiarity.

Zhou Yi knew in his heart that this meant his current reputation was still insufficient to support such earth‑shaking statements.

After all, the two races of the witches and the demons are the undisputed rulers of the current Vast Wilderness World; for the Human Race to surpass them is far from easy.

Therefore, many elders thought Zhou Yi was overly arrogant, and some even believed he had lost himself.

Facing these discussions, Zhou Yi merely gave a faint smile and offered no defense.

As for whether his words are exaggerated, time will reveal everything.

"Regarding the development of our race, I have pondered for a long time and found that we lack a crucial element!" Zhou Yi continued.

"Oh? Lord Zhou Yi, please tell us quickly what it is?" Sui Huang's eyes glittered with anticipation as he asked eagerly.

Based on the previous two experiences, Sui Huang and You Chao were full of confidence in Zhou Yi's proposal, and other Human Race elders also began to realize that this time might be another great opportunity.

"For a civilization to endure, it must have a way to record history; only then can our culture be passed down through generations," Zhou Yi explained.

"We could use jade slips combined with magic to record major events!" You Chao suggested, somewhat puzzled.

"But that still has limits; only cultivators can decipher the information, what about ordinary people? I wish to create a recording tool that everyone can use, and that is writing," Zhou Yi declared loudly.

"Writing? How shall we create it?" Sui Huang asked impatiently.

Based on past experience, whether it was Sui Huang, You Chao, or other elders, they all recognized this would be a great achievement.

"I already have a preliminary concept, but we still need someone to study it deeply in order to truly establish writing!" Zhou Yi replied with a smile.

In the end, upon everyone's recommendation, a primordial Human was selected to assist Zhou Yi with this task.

This candidate was one of the first people created by Holy Mother Nüwa, and his cultivation had reached the Taiyi Mysterious Immortal realm.

The creation of writing is vital for the transmission of civilization; its significance far exceeds merely striking fire from wood or building houses.

Consequently, the process is even more complex, requiring more time and effort.

Under Zhou Yi's guidance, after ten years of effort, the Human Race finally succeeded in creating writing.

Zhou Yi did not personally take part in the concrete creation of writing; he only provided guiding ideas and overall direction.

When writing was born, it seemed as if endless grain rain fell from the Nine Heavens, accompanied by waves of mournful soul wails.

Zhou Yi's voice rang across the entire Human Race: "The birth of Human Race writing marks a new era for our civilization!"

Immediately, boundless merit power rained down from the sky, landing respectively on Zhou Yi and the primordial Human's head who was responsible for creating writing.

Unlike the previous two instances, this time the merit light that fell on Zhou Yi's head appeared more abundant, yet he still did not absorb this merit into his body.

And that primordial being, after merging the merit power into itself, saw its cultivation surge forward like a bamboo shoot, climbing upward:

Starting from the Taiyi Mysterious Immortal, progressing through Golden Immortal, the pinnacle of Golden Immortal, and finally entering the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, the merit power then slowly dissipated.

The stone tablet engraved with Human Race writing, bathed in endless merit, radiated dazzling light and ultimately transformed into a treasure of merit.

"Because you created writing for the Human Race, this is a great merit; I hereby grant you the surname 'Cang', meaning one ruler above the ruler, the people below a ruler."

Seeing that the primordial being's realm had stabilized, Zhou Yi smiled and said to him.

"Thank you, from now on I shall be Cang Wen," Cang Wen bowed to Zhou Yi in thanks and loudly proclaimed his new name.

This event set the entire Human Race ablaze; the Human Race elders who had previously harbored reservations about Zhou Yi now saw their doubts vanish.

Regardless of Zhou Yi's personal cultivation, it was his assistance that enabled three instances of Heavenly Bestowed Merit to give rise to three Great Luo Golden Immortals among the Human Race.

No one knows whether this is the limit of Zhou Yi's abilities; if he continues to press on, will the Human Race gain more Great Luo Golden Immortals?

With such a common lord existing, the Human Race will only grow stronger, and thus no one doubts Zhou Yi's position as the Human Race's common lord.

Other powerful beings in the Vast Wilderness World also sensed this and turned their gazes toward the Human Race.

Three times! Within such a brief span, the Human Race has received three Heavenly Bestowed Merits!

How could such events fail to make those strong beings take notice?

Some sages began to realize that the Human Race is far more complex and important than they imagined, and gradually increased their attention toward it.

Even the two races of the witches and the demons, which previously paid little heed to the Human Race, now also begin to focus on its development.

At this moment, Zhou Yi was not distracted by external changes; his attention had already been drawn to a system notification:

"Congratulations, host, for prompting the Vast Wilderness World Human Race to create writing; this marks the beginning of Human Race civilization. You are specially rewarded with 5,000 Destiny Points; please be sure to collect them."

As the system's alert sound faded, Zhou Yi's Destiny Points continued to increase, and the growth rate was not slow.

When everything settled, the Destiny Points Zhou Yi possessed had reached this astonishing figure.

Among them, becoming the Human Race's common lord earned a certain number of Destiny Points, and creating writing brought an additional 5,000 Destiny Points.

Adding the previous accumulation, Zhou Yi obtained a total of this many Destiny Points.

And these Destiny Points were all gradually earned by him during the process of helping the Human Race strengthen its power.

The emergence of three Great Luo Golden Immortals signaled a massive leap in the Human Race's strength.

Zhou Yi had long learned from the system that the prosperity and expansion of the human population does not rely solely on the increase of power.

Improving everyone's quality of life and creating splendid culture are equally key to advancing humanity.

"Regrettably, before I became the Human Race's common lord, striking fire from wood and building houses had already accumulated a great amount of merit for me," Zhou Yi thought to himself.
