Chapter 177: Again Comprehending the Heavenly Dao Laws, Forcefully Clashing with Zhurong!

In Chen Ku's heart, he naturally still did not want to give up on the human race, leaving it to live and die on its own.

Otherwise, why would he have previously gone to the trouble of "supervising" Nüwa, causing 129,600 humans to all fabricate innate Dao bodies?

He raised his head and stared directly at the Heavenly Dao's Eye, as if in thought, wanting to find a way to break the situation.

For a moment, the scene appeared rather strange.

Chen Ku stood upright, his gaze deep, as if engaging in a stare-down with the Will of the Heavenly Dao across space.

And the Heavenly Dao's Eye was equally vast and unparalleled, divine light shooting forth, its might terrifying.

Obviously, if Chen Ku did not abandon the idea of taking the human race away, the Heavenly Dao's Eye would not dissipate.

That immense warning intent lay across Chen Ku's heart.

In the midst of such a "stare-down".

At one moment, Chen Ku's sea of consciousness suddenly surged.

【You observe the Heavenly Dao's Eye, the laws progress, you have comprehended 5% of the Heavenly Dao laws!】

His heaven-defying comprehension once again showed its power.

However, this time, Chen Ku's first reaction was not a mix of surprise and joy, but his scalp went numb and his heart was greatly startled.

What?!

You've comprehended another five percent of the Heavenly Dao laws?!

Added to what he had before, that makes a full thirteen percent of the Heavenly Dao laws.

If this continues, wouldn't he end up merging with the Heavenly Dao?

"This... I really don't want to merge my body with the Dao."

"Ah... it's too bitter."

"Having too strong a comprehension isn't necessarily a good thing."

If other great beings heard this, they would surely be shocked to the point of dropping their jaws and spitting blood from anger.

But Chen Ku remained clear-headed and had never forgotten his goal.

Even someone like Nüwa, a Heavenly Dao sage, would have an immense shackle that is hard to break placed upon them.

Let alone a Dao-merging sage like Hongjun Daozu.

Chen Ku's goal has never been to prove the Dao and become a Heavenly Dao sage.

Moreover... he does not possess any Hongmeng Purple Qi.

Therefore, he genuinely worries that comprehending too quickly will cause him to be assimilated by the Heavenly Dao laws, restricting his actions everywhere.

But the laws have already been comprehended; even if Chen Ku complains, it naturally has no effect.

Upon thinking it over, he also immediately let go.

"Even if it is the Heavenly Dao laws, if one comprehends them deeply enough."

"In the future, it may not be impossible to use this to prove the Dao and become a Primordial Luo Golden Immortal."

"In a world where laws are supreme, being able to comprehend more is ultimately not bad."

He changed his angle and thought thus.

In the primordial world, laws are supreme!

And the Heavenly Dao laws are, without doubt, the strongest existence in the whole of heaven and earth, capable of suppressing everything.

Likewise, comprehending more of the Heavenly Dao laws also enables Chen Ku to perceive more of the Heavenly Dao's secrets and intentions.

Gazing once more at the Heavenly Dao's Eye, the increasingly grand Dao resonance surged forth, letting Chen Ku understand more.

The human race is a race born with great fortune!

The existence of this race not only affects the course of the Wu-Yao Great Calamity.

What's more important is that after Nüwa, the Three Pure Ones, and even Jieyin and Zhunti, etc., upon proving the Dao and becoming sages, or the heavenly numbers thereafter, all have some kind of inseparable karmic bond with the human race.

Precisely for this reason, the Will of the Heavenly Dao does not allow Chen Ku to bring the human race to the Western Heaven and Earth.

"So that's how it is......"

Chen Ku suddenly understood many things, showing an expression of realization.

Thus, wanting to take the human race away is absolutely impossible.

Chen Ku then turned to ponder.

Since he cannot take them away, perhaps he could summon the Black Dragon and other Dragon Clan, or the experts of the three clans, to this place and order them to protect the human race?!

Chen Ku remained silent, sinking into contemplation, weighing the pros and cons and whether it was feasible.

And what Chen Ku did not know was.

Just as he was deliberating.

On the other side, two burly figures were at that moment concealing their forms, silently climbing toward the location where the human race was.

These two were none other than Zhurong and Gonggong of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

"The race created by sages—I want to see what extraordinary qualities it possesses."

At this moment, Gonggong said in a low voice, his eyes showing curiosity.

In the world, most living beings are formed from innate evolution, or else they reproduce within the same species.

But the human race has never existed before; it was created by sages.

Therefore, Zhurong and Gonggong inevitably became curious, thinking the human race might have something exceptional.

Moreover, Mount Buzhou is already very close to the Wu Clan.

Thus, the two secretly acted to investigate.

The Ancestral Witches' physical forms are formidable, and they were not hindered in speed by Pangu's awe-inspiring pressure.

Not long after, the two reached the mountainside, hid in the darkness, and began to observe.

But after only a moment's look, Zhurong and Gonggong were both somewhat dumbfounded.

"This.... This is too weak, right?"

"The race created by the Sage? Just this?!"

Zhurong said in disbelief, the previous curiosity and expectation vanished in an instant, replaced only by deep astonishment and contempt.

Weak!

Too weak!

This was his first impression.

Gonggong nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"Hmph, this so-called human race, I could easily crush them all with a casual hand."

You should know, although the Wu Clan does not cultivate the primordial spirit, an existence at the level of Ancestral Witch has strength comparable to that of a Quasi-Sage.

In their view, the human race before them was as feeble as ants, unable to withstand a single blow.

The two were truly greatly disappointed!

Immediately afterward, Zhurong seemed to have understood something.

"It seems Nüwa created this so-called human race merely to accomplish her own Dao."

"So, after completing her Dao, she would then depart directly, paying no heed to this human race."

Zhurong had already imagined that the human race was nothing more than a tool Nüwa used to achieve Dao and become a sage.

Now that her purpose was fulfilled, the human race was simply abandoned by Nüwa.

Reasonable!

In the view of Zhurong and Gonggong, this speculation was that reasonable.

Beside him, Gonggong, although disdainful, immediately spoke out in a loud voice:

"If that's the case, then we will take these humans back to the Wu Clan and raise them."

"Even if we were to use them as fodder, we must absolutely not let them fall under the Demon Race's control."

Gonggong's words were extremely cruel and merciless.

This, however, cannot be said to be his nature of violence.

After all, in the primordial heaven and earth, strength reigns supreme, the weak are prey to the strong—this is an eternal truth.

Moreover, the Wu-Demon hegemony has just begun to show; both sides are inherently contending for the territory of heaven and earth, as well as dominion over all beings and things.

If the human race cannot be controlled in our hands, it is highly likely to be coveted by the Demon Race.

Upon hearing Gonggong's words, Zhurong had no objection.

"Hmm, that's fine!"

"Just do it!"

Before the words even faded, the two no longer concealed themselves, directly revealed their forms and headed toward the human race.

In fact, Zhurong and Gonggong also noticed Chen Ku's existence.

However, he was ultimately a Western disciple, and had no connection whatsoever with the Wu Clan.

In the eyes of the two Great Ancestral Witches, Chen Ku was ultimately just a junior-level existence, not worth paying attention to.

The two manifested their Ancestral Witch true forms, standing over ten zhang tall, with imposing physiques, knotted muscles, and their whole bodies exuding an explosive sense of power.

"Human race, the Sage has already abandoned you."

"Hurry and follow me back to the Wu Clan."

Gonggong spoke, then strode away with great strides.

For a moment, his footsteps thundered loudly, deafeningly so, and his momentum was extraordinarily impressive.

A terrifying aura swept out, making the human race's scalps go numb and their bodies break out in chills.

The two Great Ancestral Witches approached; for the newly born human race, this was nothing short of a cataclysmic terror.

The faces of the human race's beings showed shock and fear, panic spreading.

"What... what is that?!"

"Heavens, what terrifying beings, why are they attacking us?!"

"Holy Father, save us, please protect our human race!"

Humans all cried out in alarm, watching Zhurong and Gonggong step by step approach, not understanding why the latter would provoke the humans.

Some humans reacted extremely quickly, directly kneeling to beg Chen Ku to act.

In the eyes of the humans, only he could fully protect the humans.

Amidst the cries of alarm and pleas for help, Chen Ku suddenly awoke and glanced over.

"The Wu Clan's ancestral witch?!"

"Why have they come?"

Just one glance, Chen Ku felt greatly astonished and instinctively exclaimed.

But there was no time to think further.

At this moment, Zhurong had already struck, his giant palm covering the sky and blocking the sun, about to press down upon the humans, to seize their living beings.

Seeing this, Chen Ku's face sank.

Without hesitation, he unleashed a palm, directly opposing Zhurong's might.
