Wu Tie gave his life; on the day he suppressed the gods, in Mu Dalu he was enshrined as the first day of the first year of the Demonic Subjugation Calendar.

In the first year of the Demonic Subjugation Calendar, Chiyou joined Wuguo, took Old Iron as his teacher, and became the Grand Commander of Wuguo's Vanguard Camp.

Ji Hongde, leading his Saint Realm powerhouses, defected to the gods.

Mu Ling led the army, obeying Ji Hongde as commander. The gods' high-ranking clashed in chaos; a deeply hidden primordial divine sage of the Wisdom God Clan emerged, using overwhelming power to unify the gods. Mu Ling's army and the gods' army joined forces, battling the humans to the death.

Humanity split; on Mu Dalu, Wuguo controlled seventy percent of the territory, locked in continuous war with the gods allied to Ji Hongde and the human coalition.

In the 18,000th year of the Demonic Subjugation Calendar, Bai Ying entered Primordial Unity.

Another 3,000 years later, Pei Feng and Zhu Que broke into Primordial Unity.

Another 6,000 years later, Wu Jin, Wu Yin, Wu Tong, even Wu Zhan, Wamu, and the ninety-eight Wu clan elders charged into Primordial Unity.

Humanity counterattacked; Ji Hongde led the gods' alliance in retreat.

Most of Ji Hongde's human soldiers defected; only a stubborn faction loyal to the gods followed Ji Hongde and the gods' alliance.

In the 27,000th year of the Demonic Subjugation Calendar, humanity was unified, all becoming citizens of Wuguo.

Pei Feng issued a decree, naming the human bloodline Yan Huang, the tribe name Huaxia, honoring Xi Huang and Nuwa Huang as human ancestors, and setting the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors as the sage emperors of humanity.

During this period, Mu Dalu voraciously devoured the vast primordial chaos tides; every century, its volume doubled!

After over twenty thousand years, Mu Dalu's volume had swollen to an unimaginable extent!

Mu Dalu grew wildly, the foundations of heaven and earth became extremely abundant.

Only a vast ocean can nurture a divine dragon.

Then, in the 49,973rd year, sixth month of the Demonic Subjugation Calendar, Pei Feng bowed to heaven and earth, received their blessing and the earnest prayers of hundreds of millions of humans, in one step broke open the Heavenly Pass, comprehended the subtlety of the Great Dao's evolution, and finally became immortal.

Another three years later, Bai Ying entered immortality.

Another six years later, under the rebukes of Pei Feng and Bai Ying, the drunken Zhu Que, fishing for the moon on the lake surface, stirred the Heaven and Earth Great Dao fluctuations, in the strangest state in history, muddledly broke into immortality.

The 49,999th year of the Demonic Subjugation Calendar.

In the former Xi Valley, the eighteen Human Immortals stood in a line in the high sky.

Pei Feng, Bai Ying, Zhu Que.

Wu Zhan, Wamu, Wu Jin, Wu Yin, Wu Tong.

Old Iron, Xiahou Wuming, Chiyou.

Wu Dashan, Wu Dahe, Wu Dahai, and Wu Tie's other four children.

The eighteen immortals shimmered with a faint light of the Great Dao over their whole bodies, standing silently in the high sky. They were either Wu Tie's wife and children, or his parents and brothers, or people like Old Iron and Xiahou Wuming who were deeply close to him.

Only Chiyou represented the Jiuli tribe, representing the former high stratum of humanity.

Is Heaven and Earth unfair?

Or perhaps it is very fair!

Wu Tie, by merging himself with Heaven and Earth, reversed the decline in dire straits, forcibly pulling humanity and Mu Dalu out of the abyss of total collapse. Such a result ought to be natural, following heaven and answering people.

The eighteen immortals.

Three thousand eight hundred Primordial Unity.

Over one hundred thousand Saint Realm.

Countless Quasi-Saint and Venerable-level powerhouses.

Various Spiritual Treasures hovered high in the sky, a terrifyingly grand formation covering the four directions of Heaven and Earth.

Pei Feng wore black fur clothes and black armor, holding a long spear entwined with demonic flames, and heavily struck the shimmering sea surface.

The void trembled.

Countless purple and gold Great Dao chains crisscrossed, silently floating in the air.

At the intersections of the purple and gold Great Dao chains, towering ten-thousand-zhang high, much larger than those from nearly fifty thousand years ago, void divine shrines silently appeared. One after another, avatars of the Great Dao condensed by Wu Tie sat cross-legged silently in those huge divine shrines, soundless and motionless, like corpses.

"Wake up!" Pei Feng shouted loudly.

Bai Ying and Zhu Que clasped hands, strand after strand of inconceivable creative power shot up into the sky, swiftly enveloping the entire Mu Dalu.

The will of Heaven and Earth of Mu Dalu moved.

The ocean raised heaven-shaking waves; terrifying aura surged up wave after wave from deep within the earth.

Wu Tie's consciousness scattered between Heaven and Earth was like only weak fireflies, lightly emerging from all directions.

Every drop of water, grain of sand, speck of soil, leaf, branch, and wisp of cloud in Mu Dalu had an extremely faint glimmer drifting out. Wu Tie's aura filled Heaven and Earth.

Although weak, it was everywhere.

Each speck of glimmer was so weak a breeze could extinguish it.

But countless such specks of glimmer filled Heaven and Earth, their total amount comparable to the sands of the Ganges; when gathered, their total energy far exceeded the primordial spirit Wu Tie had when he scattered his flesh and merged his soul with the Dao fifty thousand years ago, by thousands or even tens of thousands of times.

As Mu Dalu grew, that speck of primordial spirit of Wu Tie, which had become one with Mu Dalu, also grew wildly.

Countless specks of glimmer hovered silently in the void.

Wu Tie's faint voice turned into threads of gentle wind, sounding beside everyone's ears throughout Mu Dalu.

"How long has it been?"

Pei Feng, Bai Ying, and Zhu Que's bodies trembled.

Before anyone else could show any reaction, Wamu burst out crying 'Waa': 'It's been so long, so long, Little Tie... it's already fifty thousand years...'

Fifty thousand years... for those former clan chiefs and elders of humanity, especially those old monsters who have undergone countless reincarnations, fifty thousand years might just be their nap time.

But for Wu Tie's family... when Wu Tie merged with the Dao back then, he was only about a hundred years old.

Fifty thousand years, for Wu Tie's family, is too long.

Especially within these fifty thousand years, for about half the time the skies were ablaze with war and the ground soaked in blood. The long fifty thousand years—everyone was desperately fighting through those fifty thousand years!

It is the fifty thousand years that even the eighteen immortals of the present human race do not wish to look back upon.

"Heh, fifty thousand years have passed! I could always sense you…… but in a hazy way—I never expected it to have been fifty thousand years." Wu Tie's voice was very gentle, yet filled with an inexplicable pressure.

It feels as if the entire heaven and earth are simultaneously submerging you.

Translation: "That feeling, it's as if the entire heaven and earth simultaneously immerse you in it."

We need natural English: "That feeling is as if the whole heaven and earth simultaneously immerse you." Keep meaning. Let's produce: "That feeling is as if the whole heaven and earth simultaneously immerse you."

It's as if you're a tiny ant, gently pinched at the fingertips of a giant whose height is a trillion li.

It's as if you are a tiny ant, gently pinched at the fingertips by a giant whose height is a trillion li.

Even if you know he won't harm you, you can't help but feel fear; your body and soul are simultaneously subjected to an unimaginable, baseless immense pressure.

Even if you know he won't harm you, you can't help feeling fear, feeling afraid, and then your body and soul simultaneously endure an unimaginable, groundless immense pressure.

That is a crushing pressure from the level of life.

Translation: "That is a crushing pressure from the level of life." Could be "That is a crushing pressure emanating from the life level." Keep simple: "That is a crushing pressure from the life level."

Countless faint glimmers begin to gather toward the sky above the original Xigu Continent.

'I feel it, good—eighteen immortals, so much primordial chaos… then they too deserve punishment.' Wu Tie's laughter echoed from afar: 'But in the heaven-and-earth universe of Mu Dalu, there should be a dynastic order to regulate heaven and earth.'

I feel it, good, eighteen immortals, so much primordial chaos…… then they too deserve punishment. Wu Tie's laughter came from afar: 'But, in the heaven and earth universe of Mu Dalu, there should be a dynastic order to regulate heaven and earth.'

'Wuguo's Office of Officials and Ritual Hall, quickly tally the merits and demerits, virtues and faults of all civil and military officials these years; according to the magnitude of their achievements, confer divinity, appoint them to their proper positions!'

The Office of Officials and the Ritual Hall of Wuguo, quickly tally the merits and demerits, virtues and faults of all civil and military officials these years; according to the magnitude of their achievements, confer divinity, appoint them to their proper positions!

From all directions of Mu Dalu, strands of incomparably pure chaotic qi howled forth; the terrifying tidal tremors made Mu Dalu shudder slightly. Above everyone's heads, a vast and unparalleled chaotic form rapidly coalesced; countless extremely faint glimmers gathered from all directions, swiftly merging into this colossal chaotic body, almost half the size of Mu Dalu.

The former Heavenly Crystal War Star slowly rose from beneath the sea.

Four strands of murderous sword light, amplified manifold beyond ten thousand times, howled forth, swirling rapidly around the Heavenly Crystal War Star.

From within the Heavenly Crystal War Star came the weak voice of the Earth God Ancestor: 'King Wu, we can talk…… we feel we should have a good talk!'

'Talk? Talk-Your-Old-Mom!' Lao Tie's eyes blazed; he rubbed his hands together, and streams of chaotic qi surged forth, quickly condensing in his grasp into a stark white, glittering tiger-headed spear.

He roared, 'Brothers, kill!'

Fifty thousand eighteen years of the Demon-Subjugation Calendar.

Beyond Mu Dalu, within the boundless Hongmeng chaos, a Heavenly Crystal War Star and three hundred thousand colossal God-Slaying vessels were tightly linked by strands of Dao chains.

Wu Tie stood with his hands behind his back on the surface of the Heavenly Crystal War Star, silently gazing ahead at the endless Hongmeng chaos.

Ahead, within the Hongmeng chaos, faint markers visible only to Wu Tie and his companions shone steadily and tenaciously amidst the Hongmeng tides.

'Ji Hongde, you've done well. Though you bore the stigma of these years, you pointed out the road to the gods' ancestral land.' Wu Tie said in a low voice: 'With Jing Nine and Wu Tou guiding us, we will surely strike straight at the Yellow Dragon! This is truly striking straight at the Yellow Dragon!'

On the ground, Wu Zhan and Wamu, together with Wu Dashan and others, silently gazed at the sky.

Beneath the earth, around the Wu family's little stone fortress where Wu Tie once lived, streams of people endured great hardship to come, burning incense and paying homage around the little stone fortress.

On Wa Island, outside the Wahuang Miao, towering stone steles bore the names and deeds of generations of Wa clan matriarchs, carved clearly; before each stele, the great cauldrons swirled with incense, the sincere faith almost condensing into substance.
