Free Web NovelChapter 274: Chapter 254: Eighty Thousand Years of the Human Race
[Beizhu casually opened the single eye on his forehead, his imposing aura seemed to transcend the vastness of the entire cosmos.]
[The Deity of Deer Mountain, White Deer, Qi, and Candle People, could not discern the full appearance of Beizhu, as among the Ancestral Immortals, few had such a majestic true form.]
[Boom!]
[The Ancestral Immortals of several nearby mountains felt the Primordial Spirit aura of Beizhu, were startled, and exited the pass one after another. Three beams of light descended from the skies onto the desolate mountain.]
[These were three Ancestral Immortals, wearing yellow, cyan, and purple robes respectively, having limbs and a torso but no specific faces, with vortices of Qi in place. They were transformed from the Innate Pure Qi of the mountains.]
[The three immortals were shocked, bowing slightly, "Honorable Great God, for what reason do you descend upon the Northern Wilderness?"]
[The continent was vast, roughly divided into five regions: east, south, west, north, and center. The three immortals did not recognize this Great God Beizhu but observed that his Primordial Spirit took the shape not of a Dragon but an Immortal!]
[The Black Mountain God nearby, shivering in fear upon hearing Beizhu addressed as Great God by the immortals, stood with hair standing on end. Ancestral Immortal traces were widespread across the continent, but those few that could be revered as "Great Gods" were countable on one’s fingers.]
[The heavens and earth slightly trembled.]
[The Black Mountain God looked up at the eye of Beizhu and hastily exonerated himself, "I swear, Great God above, Little God was truly unaware that this frail race was your creation. I humbly request your great mercy to overlook Little God’s ignorance. Moreover, please see, your created immortal beasts have not suffered any harm..."]
[The Black Mountain God’s face, resembling a fierce panther, glanced around, suddenly paused, and immediately swung a paw to fling away the Black Panther suppressing the Candle People. He cursed inwardly, having no sense, deserved the blow!]
[The Black Mountain God withdrew his claws, gently smoothing the tattered grassy garment on the Candle People’s head, carefully placed them on the ground, nudged a few times, signaling the Candle People could return.]
[Having completed this series of actions, the Black Mountain God looked up, squeezing out an extremely obsequious smile toward Beizhu’s eye.]
[Kind! Benevolent!]
["Vile Beast! Fierce Beast!! Failure among Immortal Beasts!" Qi, Candle People, and White Deer glared angrily, eyes filled with indignation. Immortal Beasts could depend on their Ancestral Immortal to step into cultivation, whereas the Black Panther race, apart from the young ones yet to awaken spiritual wisdom, did not actually need to rely on flesh food to survive.]
[Thus, the Black Mountain God ate White Deer and Humans, not out of necessity, purely from a penchant for the taste of White Deer and Human meat. Such man-eating Immortal Beasts were truly terrifying entities to intelligent beings.]
[The Black Mountain God showed a look of grievance, repeatedly defending, "Misunderstanding, this is an enormous misunderstanding! If the White Deer race were to worship me, as the Black Mountain God, I’d certainly exhaust all efforts to provide protection to the White Deer race. I’m not a murderous beast exterminating clans, nor am I a fierce beast plaguing regions."]
[The Deity of Deer Mountain sneered, "What misunderstanding? The Butian Great God once said, all beings born with wisdom under heaven and earth are among all creatures, cannot devour each other! You tasted sweetness outside and brought such behavior into the Northern Wilderness!"]
[Hearing this, the Black Mountain God remained silent.]
[The Immortal Beasts violating the rules of the Butian Great God were not the Black Panther race, but demons of the water, Dragons in the sea!]
[True Dragons devoured Black Panthers who had embarked on cultivation and gained wisdom. They cried to Ancestral Immortals, only to get beaten by True Dragons. Naturally, the Black Panther race could devour weaker Immortal Beasts!]
[Moreover, Black Panthers had no horns, White Deer had horns, their figures differed, skin colors varied, pupils were different. How could they count as one race? Just because the Ancestral Immortal who created Immortal Beasts was one race?]
[But Ancestral Immortals also fought fiercely due to their "color" differences!]
[Pure Qi, Muddy Qi, Mist Qi, stars, wind, cloud, thunder, lightning... water, fire incompatible! Some Ancestral Immortals only approached slightly, their might kept eroding each other!]
[Even embracing couldn’t be achieved!]
[Yellow Robe Ancestral Immortal, Purple Robe Ancestral Immortal, and Cyan Robe Ancestral Immortal sighed simultaneously, "Comparison among Immortal Beasts flourished, ruled by force. Essentially, it’s because but the Butian Great God isn’t present; Northern Wasteland Great God fell to the Otherworld. We partnered to stop the frenzy of Ancestor Dragon God."]
["I..." Beizhu’s Primordial Spirit was about to inquire, when suddenly as he inhaled and exhaled, he expelled a breath that stirred a gale, unexpectedly blowing the Black Mountain God thousands of miles away.]
[Beizhu shook his head and hastily closed his mouth, knowing once his Primordial Spirit spoke, the heavens would collapse and the earth would split apart. Although he was not adept in magic, after the golden Candle light gathered into a tribe consciousness, his every movement affected the might of heaven and earth.]
[He was now the Heaven and Earth God!]
[Yellow Robe Ancestral Immortal was puzzled seeing this unfamiliar Great God unable to control his might.]
[Cyan Robe Ancestral Immortal observed the eye of Beizhu, the Primordial Spirit World within was too vast: "Only able to barely manifest its Primordial Spirit through an eye, it must be a newly born Spirit of Heaven and Earth in the Northern Wilderness."]
[Beizhu’s heart brightened, not needing to explain his origin to immortals, he nodded lightly.]
[Yellow Robe Ancestral Immortal and Purple Robe Ancestral Immortal understood why Beizhu could not restrain his power; with the birth of a Spirit of Heaven and Earth comes "Great God" might, having extraordinary origin, yet Beizhu also missed the Butian Great God’s Dharma Transmission.]
[Purple Robe Ancestral Immortal divided a wisp of his Primordial Spirit carefully to Beizhu’s eye and said: "Great God, you’re too powerful to descend your Primordial Spirit to the Mortal World, but this allows you to divide a wisp to entrust upon a Mortal World object."]
[Beizhu absorbed the information from the wisp of Primordial Spirit and withdrew his eye back into the Primordial Spirit World, the desolate mountain towered suddenly.]
["I am Beizhu!" A thunderous sound echoed throughout heaven and earth like a clap of thunder.]
[Cyan Robe Ancestral Immortal paused at the desolate mountain, patiently guiding the newly born Great God, recounting the world’s rules. There were originally five Great Gods on the continent, while the ocean had three Great Gods.]
[Continents and oceans, do not disturb each other, the body of the Great God is like a microcosm of the entire world, vast and silent, unable to move or speak, immersed in endless slumber all day long.]
[All things in heaven and earth are shrouded in eternal silence, with Innate Qi wandering freely across this vast land.]
[Until the heavens overturned, a Seven-Colored Great God appeared in the sky, using Supreme Divine Power to mend the heavens and save the world.]
[Countless Innate Qi suddenly awakened, winding around that Seven-Colored Great God as he mended the heavens. Before long, they awakened to Spiritual Wisdom and transformed into the form of the Great God, donning splendid robes and speaking the same language.]
[The first Immortals were born.]
[And in the ocean, with the help of the Butian Great God, three Great Gods transformed into Dragon forms, filled with excitement.]
[The Butian Great God took them to travel the world, but the world was desolate, with only Dragons and Immortals being too monotonous, so he wanted to create more life. Immortals and Dragons eagerly created life.]
[One day, a Great God discovered that his world was slowly perishing, and fear welled up in his heart, seeking help from the Butian Great God.]
[To prevent the catastrophe of heaven and earth collapsing again, they followed the "Butian Great God", imparting Dharma to all beings, and then sacrificing their bodies, transforming into countless rays of light, repairing the broken world, sealing each breach one by one.]
[This is the origin of the world.]
[After mending the heavens, comes the present.]
[A war between Dragons and Immortals suddenly erupted, and most Immortals did not know what was happening.]
[The Yellow Robe Ancestral Immortal also did not understand why the Ancestral Dragon God wanted to flood the world and even personally killed Immortals! So, the Ancestral Dragon God was besieged by three Great Gods and all Ancestral Immortals!]
[Beizhu was stunned, marveling at the power of the Great God, realizing that the great strength he now possessed might also be a standout amongst Dragons and Immortals.]
[He was full of doubt as to how the Candle People could elevate his Primordial Spirit World to such heights in such a short time, then couldn’t other Ancestral Immortals, under the devout worship of Immortal Beasts, easily reach the Realm of the Great God?]
[However, the position of the Great God is always rare.]
[Among the eight Great Gods of the continent and ocean, only the Butian Great God became a "Great God" from a weak Innate Qi.]
[Obviously, not every Ancestral Immortal can become the home of the tribe’s consciousness, possessing the great power to rewrite World Rules.]
[Is the Candle People really special? Wisdom? Number? Neither Dragon nor Beast? Or is the worship of Immortal Beasts not pure enough?]
[Beizhu realized that the great secret of the "Ancestral Immortal" had not yet spread, and the Primordial Spirit of the Immortal seemed to be completely unaware of the existence of the "Candlelight" cast by Immortal Beasts.]
[Yet the enormous tribe of Immortal Beasts, with the widespread dissemination of the Ancestral Immortals in the wilderness, their Dao Practice and Magical Power are clearly much more powerful than other Immortals.]
[Beizhu dared not explore this further. He roughly understood the current situation from the mouth of the Yellow Robe Ancestral Immortal. The war between Dragons and Immortals had not truly ended but had spread to other worlds.]
[Three months later, Beizhu ended his conversation with the Yellow Robe Ancestral Immortal. Beizhu cautioned the Deity of Deer Mountain, Qi, and the Candle People.]
[Even the Great God can fall!]
[Qi led most of the Candle People, departing from the now crowded Underworld.]
[From then on, north of the Northern Wilderness, arose a type of Immortal Beast naturally capable of walking upright. They are scaleless, hornless, tailless, and clawless, with a humanoid body, but with seven orifices on their head, understanding of language.]
[Called the Human Race.]
[A race created by the Great God Beizhu.]
[At the same time, the Black Mountain God and Ancestral Immortals spread the tale of "Desolate Mountain has Ancestors, Great God Beizhu" to farther places.]
[Desolate Mountain was not far from the ocean, and a black Flood Dragon prepared to stir the waves, suddenly hearing the mention of the name "Great God Beizhu" from the Immortal Beasts on the shore.]
[Where did a Great God come from in the Northern Wilderness? The black Flood Dragon suddenly sensed the vast presence of heaven and earth fluctuating, and indeed there was. It withdrew, turning back to the ocean silently.]
[The Flood Dragon told the Dragon Race, the continent, that a Great God was born.]
[The North Sea Dragon Clan immediately became well-behaved and quiet.]
[Consequently, the Immortal Beasts of the Northern Wilderness were at peace for a brief eighty thousand years and were all familiar with this Great God’s name.]
[The Human Race, after eighty thousand years of reproduction and spread, left their footprints throughout the Northern Wilderness.]
