Chapter 160: Faith Power and the Plane Origin
At the foot of the Holy Mountain, countless divine lights gathered from all directions, forming countless figures with immensely powerful auras, which were exactly the many powerhouses of the Primordial Plane.
As the crowd gathered, the area outside the Holy Mountain was surrounded by countless figures, not only on the ground but also in the sky and among the mountains, everywhere filled with silhouettes.
At this moment, the area outside the Holy Mountain was a sea of people, except for the summit of the Holy Mountain, where no one dared to occupy.
The first human Supreme God appeared and issued a command; naturally, none of the human powerhouses of the Primordial Plane dared to be negligent.
However, although the surroundings were a sea of people, there was no noise at all; instead, it was unusually quiet, and everyone looked with anticipation toward the Holy Mountain's summit, waiting for the first human Supreme God to appear.
Hum
At roughly the moment the flood converged, the heavens above suddenly became hazy and illusory, and a huge Yin-Yang Bagua Diagram appeared between heaven and earth.
"Open!"
An indifferent voice sounded, with the Yin-Yang Bagua Diagram as its center, ripples spread in the four directions of space, as if opening a dimension hidden beyond real space.
The next moment, amidst everyone's curious gazes, endless purple qi surged, and a majestic giant city forged from gold rose from above the Yin-Yang Bagua Diagram.
The Golden City was splendid and brilliant, resembling a war fortress and also like a small world, within which countless figures stood, each wearing Yin-Yang Dao robes, Law Cultivators.
"Law Cultivators have finally returned."
A sigh rose, and the Primordial Martial Artists who had been born since the beginning of heaven and earth and had experienced the Law-Martial Conflict of a hundred billion years ago could not help but feel moved.
Although the initial Law-Martial Conflict had no victor, the final result was that Law Ancestor Fuxi led many Law Cultivators to retreat into the boundless void.
Now, Law Ancestor achieved the position of Supreme God, becoming humanity's first Supreme God, and the return of the Law Cultivators was also within everyone's expectations.
As thoughts turned in their hearts, most of the Primordial Martial Artists did not give much thought to the scene of the Law Cultivators' return before them.
Since the First God-Demon War, the Primordial Humanity discovered gods and demons as well as the Light and Dark Supreme God that towered over everything, understood the peril they faced, and thus the so-called Law-Martial Conflict became completely a thing of the past, with not many Primordial Martial Artists caring about it.
After all, being Primordial Humanity, gods and demons as well as the Supreme God are their common great enemy.
Even if some Primordial Martial Artists still held grudges over the Law-Martial Conflict, facing the Law Ancestor, humanity's sole Supreme God now, they would bury the thought deep in their hearts, daring not to show the slightest sign.
Within the Golden City, each Law Cultivator in Dao robes looked at the familiar yet strange heaven and earth, feeling the plane rules completely different from the void world, and could not help but well up with tears.
Since they left the Primordial Plane, billions of years have passed, and they have finally returned to their homeland, the Primordial.
Hum
At the moment when the Primordial Martial Artists and the Law Cultivators within the Golden City each had complex emotions, suddenly their hearts trembled slightly, and they subconsciously turned their gaze to the Holy Mountain's summit, seeing four familiar figures.
The leading figure wore a black long robe, with a diamond-shaped crystal emitting endless destiny intent on his forehead; this was humanity's sole Supreme God now, Law Ancestor Fuxi, and the other three, whom many human powerhouses also knew well, were the Three Great Supremes of humanity: the White Tiger Supreme, the Vermilion Bird Supreme, and the Black Tortoise Supreme.
"Pay respects to the Supreme God. Pay respects to the Supremes."
Daring not to be negligent in the slightest, all of humanity in every direction of the Holy Mountain bowed with utmost reverence toward the summit of the Holy Mountain.
The sound was like a tsunami, echoing between heaven and earth, spreading in all directions, and even faintly making the entire Primordial Plane constantly tremble.
On another side, as many Primordial Humanity powerhouses bowed, Feng Yi's heart stirred slightly, his eyes turned, and he saw countless mysterious powers emerging from the souls of these human powerhouses, converging toward his divine spark.
"Faith Power."
This idea surfaced instinctively in his mind; the next moment, Feng Yi's heart and spirit violently shook, feeling an immense plane-origin power emerge, which naturally merged with these Faith Powers into his divine spark, continually increasing his divine power.
"Is this the reason why the Light and Dark Supreme God of this universe contends for humanity's Faith Power? The plane-origin power born with humanity actually also gathers together with Faith Power into the Supreme God's divine spark, becoming the Supreme God's origin divine power!"
As thoughts turned in his mind, Feng Yi's mind arose with the fundamental origin of humanity's birth in this universe, and he immediately understood the specific situation.
Because the humanity of this realm was born from the balance law to restrain the Fourteenth Supreme God, combining half the origin of the King of Gods who innately controls several Great Dao laws with the power of the plane's origin; in a sense, humanity shares the same origin as the Supreme God, except one is innately weak and the other innately strong, so the Supreme God now yearns for humanity's Faith Power.
Thinking this, Feng Yi's divine spark continually trembled, and suddenly an instinctive desire arose in his heart and spirit: to turn the entire Primordial into his divine kingdom, making all Primordial Humanity his followers, endlessly providing him with Faith Power.
As soon as this instinct emerged, it immediately occupied Feng Yi's spirit, making his aura increasingly indifferent and ruthless, and his gaze became extraordinarily terrifying.
In an instant, an invisible qi mechanism swept across heaven and earth, making all Primordial Humanity's hearts shudder, and their spirits continually trembled.
They only felt that they were about to kneel directly to the ground the next moment, their minds forcibly changed by this invisible, extremely terrifying qi mechanism.
Before this qi mechanism, they could not even raise a thought of resistance.
"Law Ancestor."
"Fuxi, Supreme God."
"Are you alright?"
Several slightly trembling voices sounded; the White Tiger Supreme and the three others likewise struggled to resist the neighboring icy, extremely terrifying qi mechanism, and their hearts could not help but feel a surge of panic.
At this moment, they felt that the Law Ancestor beside them seemed to have become a terrifying existence of pure reason like the Light and Dark Supreme God.
No, it is an existence even more terrifying than the Light and Dark Supreme God!
"Huh?"
Feng Yi felt his state was very strange; although he clearly knew everything happening to himself, it seemed as if he had become an entirely new personality, having cut off all external bonds, leaving only the most instinctive rational desire.
He was not unable to stop his change; rather, he simply had no thought arise to stop this change at this moment, as if this were his own instinctive choice.
"Is this the absolute rationality state of this realm's Supreme God? Tai Shang Forgetting Emotion. No, not Tai Shang Forgetting Emotion."
Tai Shang Forgetting Emotion is not being emotionless; rather, it is not being burdened by emotions, with all things not lingering in the heart, pursuing the true self.
And Feng Yi now felt this state was more like severing all memory and emotion, becoming an utterly emotionless being, acting solely according to absolute rationality, having no will of his own, in fact no different from a stone or a tree.
"If one cultivates to the end and truly attains this state, what difference is there from death!"
Thinking this, Feng Yi's innate spiritual light trembled slightly, a lingering lute note sounded, echoing in his heart and spirit, allowing his heart and spirit to return for a moment.
At this very moment, his inner Heavenly Stele Mystic Law automatically operated, the Heaven-Reaching Death Bridge Divine Light in the Wheel Sea World flourished, emitting boundless suppressive power, combining with the power of the Heavenly Stele, suppressing this innate desire deep within his heart, so that it could no longer affect his heart and spirit will.
In the outside world, that invisible qi mechanism instantly dissipated, and Feng Yi returned to his previous state; although still somewhat indifferent, he no longer had the terrifying feeling of regarding everyone as 'food'.
The whole world fell silent, and everyone felt somewhat spiritually dazed.
If not for the lingering terrifying impression of that invisible qi mechanism still remaining in their hearts, they would likely think that the previous scene was merely an illusion.
"Is this the Supreme God?"
"Indeed, it towers above all, giving rise to not the slightest thought of resistance!"
One thought after another arose, and the gazes of many human powerhouses toward the black-robed figure on the Holy Mountain's summit became ever more reverent, and they also felt ever more grateful that humanity had appeared with its own Supreme God.
Holy Mountain's summit.
The remaining three supreme beings let out a slight sigh of relief, then spoke in unison: 'Forefather, are you alright?'
It's not easy for humans to have a supreme god of their own; we cannot let anything happen!
'I'm fine.'
Feng Yi calmly shook their head and said: 'This is merely a side effect of becoming a supreme god; I can still hold on for now, no need to worry!'
'Side effect'
Upon hearing this, the hearts of the White Tiger and the other two supreme beings jolted, instantly recalling the state they had once seen of the Light and Dark Supreme God.
They originally thought the Light and Dark Supreme God merely appeared emotionally detached because of innately commanding the Great Dao's laws and standing high above.
But now it seems even this forefather who gradually rose from weakness to supreme god is barely suppressing that absolute rationality; the so-called supreme god is probably not merely a matter of emotional detachment.
After glancing at the three, Feng Yi seemed to see straight into their thoughts and said: 'I said, you need not worry excessively; I have a way to resolve my own issues, but for now let us first deal with the Primeval's affairs.'
As the words fell, Feng Yi turned their gaze to the countless Primeval humans surrounding the Holy Mountain.
'Yes, Forefather!'
The White Tiger Supreme and the other two also temporarily suppressed their worries and then turned their gaze to the Primeval humans.
'Everyone, rise!'
A slightly indifferent voice sounded; though not loud, it clearly rang in the ears of each Primeval person, followed by a gentle force that lifted everyone up.
'Thank you, Fuxi Supreme God!'
Feeling the vastness of this force, everyone's awe deepened, and they hurriedly spoke in unison.
Fengyi, while sensing the mystery of the changes as the power of faith and the power of the plane's origin converged together into his divine nature, spoke in a calm tone: "Today I have gathered the clansmen; there are a few matters that need to be arranged."
His voice had no emotional fluctuation, nor much superfluous talk as he said: "Starting today, the Primeval Covenant is abolished; we Primeval Humans may freely transmit martial arts techniques across the myriad planes beyond the Primeval Realm, enhancing the overall strength of humanity in all dimensions; if we encounter obstruction from gods and demons or angels, we shall kill without mercy, no need to hold back."
"Yes, Fuxi, the Chief God!"
Upon hearing this flat decree of no mercy, the Primeval Human experts let out excited shouts; their gazes toward the mysterious-robed figure at the peak of the Holy Mountain became even more fervent.
The so-called Primeval Covenant was a 'peace' agreement signed after the first war between gods and demons, between the Primeval Humans and the representatives of the Light and Dark Chief Gods.
On the surface, this agreement preserved the Primeval Realm, but for many experts among the Primeval Humans, this agreement was not so good.
Because this agreement stipulated many humiliating terms for the Primeval Humans: for example, the Primeval Humans are not allowed to go to the myriad human planes beyond the Primeval Realm to preach, causing the ascended beings of the entire Primeval Realm to be extremely rare, and their strength cannot grow quickly; for example, gods and demons may freely hunt and kill Primeval Humans; for example, after a certain period, a batch of humans must be sent into the Demon Realm to become slaves of the Demon Realm dynasty.
As Primeval Humans, personally sending their own kin to the Demon Realm to be enslaved by the demon race, and basically never returning once they go, how could this not make them resentful?
However, for the survival of the entire Primeval Realm, many Primeval Humans had no choice but to agree to this covenant.
All this is because humanity has no chief god of its own!
And now, the human chief god Fuxi personally abolished the Primeval Covenant; how could the many Primeval Human experts who have felt stifled for countless ages not be excited?
They wish they could now charge into the Demon Realm, enter the various planes, and slay those angels and demon gods.
On the other hand, when mentioning the Primeval Covenant, Fengyi thought of the enslaved Primeval Humans in the Demon Realm; his eyes flickered slightly, he peered across endless time and space, and saw a palace resembling a ferocious beast; his lips moved slightly.
Afterwards, he withdrew his gaze, looked again at the Primeval Humans below, and spoke calmly: "As for the second matter, I feel that the current cultivation system of the Primeval Realm is too crude; I have deduced a new cultivation system that can allow one to cultivate to a realm comparable to that of a chief god, and I am now transmitting it to you all."
At the moment his words fell, Fengyi's golden eyes brightened slightly, and suddenly a completely new cultivation system appeared in everyone's hearts.
After attaining the position of chief god, Fengyi now aligns with the Great Dao's rules; although he constantly suffers the drawback of emotional loss, his comprehension of the Great Dao and his deduction of techniques have greatly improved.
What he is now transmitting to everyone is, according to the laws of this realm, the newly deduced Longevity Realm system; within it, the cultivation system for martial artists is transmitted to the Primeval martial artists, and the cultivation system for spell cultivators is transmitted to the Immortal Cultivation realm.
Of course, it only includes the portion below the Ancestral God; as for cultivation methods above the Ancestral God, he has his own separate plans.
In any case, for the current Primeval Humans, just the portion below the Ancestral God is enough for them to contemplate and cultivate for a long time.
On the other hand, since their birth, many Primeval Humans have relied solely on their own exploration to move forward; they had never seen such a perfect cultivation system, and instantly immersed themselves in it, unable to extricate themselves, feeling that their previous cultivation methods were all trash.
Seeing this scene, Fengyi's calm voice sounded again, beginning to explain bit by bit the mysteries of the major realms of the Longevity Realm cultivation system, both to help these Primeval Humans understand this new system and to organize his own insights into his realm.
In an instant, the area around the Holy Mountain fell completely silent; only Fengyi's calm lecture echoed between heaven and earth, causing the surrounding heavenly and earthly laws to continually undergo changes.
