Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Continuing the Past and Opening Up a New Era (Please Subscribe)

After the great calamity of the Witch Demon, the Human Race immediately began to branch out, leaving the Five Mountains and forming Human Clan Tribes scattered throughout the Primordial World like stars across a chessboard.

These tribes, with larger ones having populations in the millions and smaller ones only in the thousands, generally had at least a few individuals embarking on the path of cultivation.

Some of the Human Race, longing for their ancestral land, returned to their original homeland.

One day, to the east of the Human Clan Ancestral Land, a woman of the Human Race was walking through the Thunder Marsh when she suddenly experienced a surge of Innate Essence Qi enter her body, causing her stomach to swell immediately.

This woman, named Hua Xu, had a father who was the leader of a Human Clan Tribe and possessed the cultivation of a True Immortal. Upon learning of her condition, he hurriedly used a spell to check on Hua Xu.

He opened his Dharma Eye and saw an entity with a human head and dragon body, radiating golden light, gestating within Hua Xu’s belly. However, due to his limited knowledge, he mistook this strange scene as a demonic spirit possessing her.

Throughout the numerous great assemblies since the birth of the Human Race, although many unique bloodlines had emerged, he was certain that neither he nor Hua Xu carried any alien bloodline.

He considered eliminating this fetus.

But then, with a flash of golden light, a Human Race cultivator with an air of immortality appeared before him.

"Wait!"

Xuan Dou quickly revealed himself and stated his identity: "I am Xuan Dou, a disciple of the Taiching Saint! The child in Hua Xu’s womb is not some demonic curse, but a sacred innate being reincarnated, destined to become a sage!"

"Greetings to Elder Xuan Dou!"

These people, although they were later generations of Acquired Human Race countless generations removed, still cherished the few most powerful cultivators among the Human Race.

They also knew that from the original three thousand Innate Human Race personally sculpted by Lady Nuwa, there was one named Xuan Dou, who was fortunate enough to have become a disciple of Taiching Saint.

Hua Xu’s father, unable to contain his joy, exclaimed: "Elder Xuan Dou, are you saying... the child within Hua Xu will achieve greatness akin to those venerable ancestors like Suiren and You Chao?"

His concept of a sage was vague; what came to mind were those elders who had led the rise of the Human Race.

"Nothing less!"

Xuan Dou smiled, "I have come here actually to take this child as a disciple on behalf of my master! With my guidance, his achievements will definitely not be inferior to those you mentioned!"

Fu Xi, being a brother to Lady Nuwa, usually would not qualify to be taught by anyone except other Saints like Taiching, who could act as his nominal teacher.

Xuan Dou dared not overstep; he merely took the child as a disciple on his master’s behalf, without establishing a formal master-disciple relationship.

With Xuan Dou’s endorsement, Hua Xu’s father no longer worried and immediately turned his concern into celebration, treating Hua Xu and her unborn child with great reverence.

As the sun rose and the moon set, twelve years swiftly passed. During this period, Xuan Dou gathered countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to continually strengthen the Innate Essence Qi of the fetus inside Hua Xu until it was successfully born among the Human Race.

At this moment, although Fu Xi had not yet awakened his past life’s True Spirit, he was extremely intelligent. Right after birth, he could stand upright and curiously observe everything around him.

To celebrate the birth of the sage, Hua Xu’s father specially killed pigs and sheep, holding a grand celebration. Thus, from a young age, Fu Xi was also given the name Paoshe.

Xuan Dou just let nature take its course.

Before long, Paoshe grew up and Xuan Dou began to teach him cultivation, incessantly instilling in him that he would become a Saint Emperor of the Human Race one day, achieving great things for the Human Race and leading it to prosperity and flourishing.

Paoshe was puzzled, "Elder Brother, to achieve great things for the Human Race? But the current Human Race is well-clothed and well-fed; what more can I do for them?"

"Ancestor You Chao taught the Human Race how to build houses, Suiren passed on many survival skills to the Human Race, like drilling wood to make fire, crafting pottery, making bows and arrows, planting grains, domesticating livestock, and using the Innate Eight Diagrams to forecast weather and fortunes..."

"What is left for me to do?"

Xuan Dou was stunned by these words. As Paoshe said, the current Human Race had no worries about food and clothing and lived no worse than those races that had multiplied throughout the countless assemblies in the Primordial era... What could Paoshe do for the Human Race?

"This..."

He couldn’t answer Paoshe’s question and could only return to Shouyang Mountain to consult Taiching.

Upon hearing this, Taiching couldn’t help but reveal a peculiar smile, "It takes the bell ringer to untie the bell; this question, you should ask Xuanqing!"

Thus, Xuan Dou came to the Ancient Starry Sky and found Xuanqing, who was preparing to refine the Three Lights Divine Water.

"This is easy!"

Xuanqing smiled, "However, I’m not the right person to step forward for this matter. It’s better for Elder Brother to find Suiren and let him answer Paoshe’s doubts!"

He didn’t want to get involved in the karma of the Human Race; he preferred to be an observer, a witness. Let Suiren take on the Human Race’s karma!

Xuan Dou couldn’t help but frown slightly, "Junior Brother, aren’t you Suiren?"

"Definitely not!"

Xuanqing shook his head, "Suiren is me, but I am not Suiren, just as the reflection in the water and the person on the shore are not the same!"

"How could they be mixed up?"

Hearing this, Xuan Dou couldn’t help but chuckle, "Junior Brother’s cultivation has become profound, and now even your words begin to play mind games like our teacher and Yuanshi uncle! Well then! I’ll go to the Heavenly Palace to find Suiren!"

Tongtian Sect Master, practicing the Sword Dao, was always forthright, preferring simplicity over complication, but now Xuanqing’s demeanor was more like that of Taiching!

Such was Xuan Dou’s intuition.

"Then I’ll take the auspicious words from my senior brother!" Xuanqing watched Xuandou depart, muttering meaningfully to himself: "If I indeed resemble great Uncle Master and the second Uncle Master even a little bit, then my ability to transform at will is also beginning to see the path!"

During this period, with the help of "Nine Heavens Breath Soil" and the newly condensed "Three Lights Divine Water", Xuanqing’s original spiritual light had grown more than a hundred times!

Even the Daluo Dao Flower began to subtly transform, exuding an aura surpassing the Ninth Grade.

Therefore, he was also trying to emulate Taiching, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Tongtian Sect Master, to see if he could comprehend the "Supreme Divine Power of One Qi Transforms The Three Pure Ones"!

...

Xuandou, as a Daluo Golden Immortal, arrived quickly and left just as swiftly, taking only half a day to rush from the Nine Layers Heaven to the Hua Xu tribe with Suiren.

"Are you... the ancestor Suiren?"

Paoxi quickly recognized the identity of Suiren, as all Human Clan Tribes had shrines dedicated to Suiren for his past merits.

"Correct!"

Hearing Fu Xi’s reincarnation calling him ancestor, Suiren was a bit astonished, but still nodded and said: "I am the Suiren you know of!"

"I pay my respects to the ancestor!"

Paoxi hurriedly bowed and asked, "May I ask ancestor, Xuandou senior brother mentioned that I will accomplish great deeds for the Human Race in the future, but presently the Human Race has no worries about food and clothing. I really don’t know what I should do? Please grant me some guidance!"

Hearing this, Suiren pretended to be profound and said: "You young people are full of vigor, in a flourishing period, just like the rising sun!"

He patted Paoxi’s shoulder, pointing towards the majestic mountains and rivers in the distance, he said with emotional weight: "The world is yours, as well as ours, but ultimately, it is yours, the hopes are placed on you! For the future of the Human Race, for the Human Race to stand at the peak of the Primordial World in the future! Thus, strive on! Young one!"

"The Primordial World is boundless and infinite, for the Human Race, is being free from worries of food and clothing really enough?"

Not waiting for Paoxi to answer, he continued passionately: "The current Human Race, with each generation multiplying, only one in ten thousand can enter into cultivation, don’t you want to pave a way for them?"

"Today’s Human Race, spread across the eastern and southern parts of the Primordial World, some even millions of miles apart, even Golden Immortals take years to travel back and forth!"

"Don’t you want to break this status, let all Human Clan Tribes communicate freely, let those ordinary humans also cross millions of miles of void?"

"I heard Xuandou Daoist tell me that he taught you the techniques of Alchemy and Artifact Refining, have you never thought about, through studying Alchemy or the Path of Artifact Refining, creating an elixir that changes the Human Race’s talents, or a magical artifact that allows ordinary people to communicate across millions of miles of void?"

"Young one!"

"The future of the Human Race should not be limited to just sustenance, nor just to this small corner. Our goal, is the boundless All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds!"

"Our journey should be the starry sea, where everyone can be like dragons, making the Human Race, the eternal main protagonist of the Primordial World!"

Upon hearing these words, Paoxi was immensely stirred, seemingly visualizing the All Heavens and the universe’s starry sea, with the Human Race standing tall above all.

He immediately responded respectfully: "Please, ancestor, illuminate the path forward for me!"

Xuandou seeing this, couldn’t help but reveal an incredibly strange smile. Was the person he brought from the Heavenly Palace, really Xuanqing’s transforming Suiren?

Why did he feel, that these words, shouldn’t have come from Suiren’s mouth?

"As you wish!"

Hearing this, Suiren pointed, and a stone bridge spanning ten thousand miles appeared over the large river in the distance: "There’s so much you can do! Like the big river before you, it hinders the communication of ordinary Human Race! With your wisdom, you can help these ordinary humans find ways to cross the big river!"

Then he pointed again, and endless spiritual energy suddenly converged: "You could also learn the Array techniques, thereby gathering the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, providing those with cultivation qualifications a better environment for cultivation!"

"The daily needs of the Human Race, is the Great Dao!"

"The Great Dao has three thousand paths; all can be utilized by the Human Race, you just haven’t discovered them yet!"

Seeing this, Paoxi was stunned on the spot, just as Suiren said, he could do a lot, but his perspective had been limited by his own knowledge!

At this moment, Suiren’s words, like a tolling bell, awakened the dreamer, giving him a brand new anticipation and longing for the future of the Human Race.

"Ancestor, I have comprehended!"

Paoxi was excited, then looked towards Xuandou: "Xuandou senior brother, please teach me more magical techniques and divine powers, I want to use these abilities to benefit the Human Race!"

And Suiren, watching this scene, was extremely gratified and couldn’t help but secretly remark: "Luckily Fu Xi has not yet awakened the memories of his previous life being a Quasi-Saint, otherwise it really wouldn’t have been easy to deceive him!"

To tell the truth, his and Fu Xi’s discussed ideas, although very difficult to achieve, he had tried them himself, but was restrained by his own cultivation and hadn’t practiced much!

Now, with Fu Xi as the "successor", he could devote himself entirely to his cultivation, no longer bound by the affairs of the Human Race!

Every generation has their own path to tread, Suiren’s mission is now over!

Next up, it will be the era of Fu Xi, Shennong, Xuanyuan, and the many other Acquired Human Races!

Thinking this, Suiren couldn’t help but chant aloud: "Wa Emperor shaped humans ushering divine command; Suiren passing the fire illuminates the future! Vast fate supports the universe, majestic divine light forges the splendid platform! Where is the ancient Suiren today? Thousand autumns’ bright moonlight shines on new branches!"

The matters of the world, like the waxing and waning of plants, old leaves wither and new leaves bloom, the forebear’s flame illuminates the Human Race, until new leaves sprout with tender shoots.

And Fu Xi, born with boundless fate to shoulder the divine command, and the few future emperors are unquestionably the new shoots on the big tree of the Human Race.

New leaves bloom, old ones naturally turn into soil, continuing to nourish the great tree of the Human Race.

This is a new era!
