Chapter 58 The Rise of Humanity, Fuxi's Descent
Deep within the chaos lies the Purple Cloud Palace.
This ancient Taoist palace floats amidst endless chaos, surrounded by surging chaotic energy that cannot even get close to the palace gates. Inside, all is silent, save for the unchanging Taoist rhythm that flows through the palace.
Suddenly, a figure slowly appeared in front of the palace gate.
He was an old Taoist priest, dressed in a black robe, with snow-white hair, a gaunt face, and deep, unfathomable eyes. He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze piercing through the endless chaos, looking towards the direction of the Primordial Heavenly Court.
After observing for a moment, the old Taoist smiled slightly and said softly, "Has it begun? Just as I thought... the breaking of the shackles still requires some variables..."
That smile held a mixture of relief, anticipation, and a hint of indescribable emotion.
As soon as he finished speaking, the old Taoist's figure vanished into the chaos just as he had arrived. Zixiao Palace returned to silence, as if nothing had ever happened.

Within the Heavenly Court, the aura of ancestral fire emanating from the depths of the Lingxiao Palace continues to evolve.
However, the beings of the primordial world were completely unaware of this. The Heavenly Court was sealed off by the ancient starry sky and the thirty-three heavens, and even saints could not see through it.
The subtle changes in the Heavenly Dao went unnoticed by anyone. Even the six high-ranking sages were not distracted at this moment, for their gazes were fixed on another place—the human race.
After the Lich War, the human race rose rapidly, and its momentum of prosperity became increasingly powerful. Its vigorous fortune was like the rising sun, unstoppable.
Although the human race suffered countless deaths and injuries during the massacre by the demon race, the current human race is much larger than before the massacre.
Humans have left their mark on the primordial world, and their tribes can be found everywhere, making them the largest race in the primordial world.
Even at the height of their power, the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan could not compare in numbers to the human race today.
Of course, this refers to quantity. In terms of experts, the human race is still very weak. Even with the full strength of the race, there are only a few Grand Luo Golden Immortals to oversee things.
Under normal circumstances, the human race could never have developed so rapidly—in the primordial world, every race, even an insignificant little race, could inflict heavy casualties on the human race with their powerful members.
However, things are different now.
The war between the Lich King and the Demon King ravaged the primordial world; the collapse of Mount Buzhou brought about another upheaval. The various races thought that the two great mountains above their heads had finally been removed, but before they could even catch their breath, Haotian appeared out of nowhere—slaying two saints, establishing the Heavenly Court, and confirming its supreme status.
Although the Heavenly Court only stated at the Peach Banquet that it would "maintain normal order," no one knew exactly how this "normal order" was defined. What if one angered the Heavenly Court and became the first to be used as a "scapegoat"—wouldn't that be courting death?
Thus, the primordial world entered an unprecedented period of peace. All races developed peacefully, refrained from aggression, and none dared to act rashly.
It was for this reason that the human race was able to flourish and quickly occupy all parts of the prehistoric world. Without these external factors, the human race would never have been able to develop so rapidly.
With the mere few Great Luo Golden Immortals among the human race, any slightly larger race could easily crush them into dust.

In the primordial eastern land, there is the Thunder Marsh.
This Thunder Marsh is the place where the ancient Thunder God perished. It spans tens of thousands of miles, with lightning flashing and electric snakes slithering around, and ordinary creatures dare not approach it.
Near Leize, there was a Feng clan. The people of the clan made a living by hunting. Although they were not rich, they lived a peaceful life.
One day, a girl named Huaxu from the tribe took advantage of her free time to go play by the edge of Leize.
The young girl was in the prime of her youth, with jet-black hair like clouds, a delicate face, and clear, watery eyes. Barefoot, she stepped on the damp earth, feeling the vitality of nature, and an indescribable joy filled her heart.
As she walked, Hua Xu suddenly noticed a huge footprint on the ground.
The footprint was several meters long, deeply imprinted in the soil, with a faint glow flowing around it, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura. It was as if some deity had once lingered here, leaving behind this indelible mark.
Curious, Hua Xu couldn't resist walking towards the center of the footprints.
As soon as she stepped inside, she suddenly felt a red light envelop her, and she fainted, collapsing softly into the huge footprint.
"Hmm? They've arrived? The Human Emperor."
A Taoist figure slowly emerged; it was none other than the Xuandu Grand Master of the Human Sect. He wore a plain-colored robe, had a handsome face, and an elegant demeanor. He stood in the void, his gaze fixed on the unconscious girl.
He came to teach the Human Emperor on the orders of his master. According to Laozi's deduction, the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi was located near the Feng clan.
He just didn't expect that Fuxi would be born in this way.
Grand Master Xuandu sighed inwardly, but was in no hurry to reveal himself. He had already imprinted his primordial spirit on everyone in the tribe, so no one could escape his notice. At this moment, sensing the extraordinary life force within Hua Xu's womb, far beyond that of an ordinary fetus, he was certain that it was the reincarnation of the Human Emperor Fuxi.
He raised his hand and waved, and an invisible magical force protected Hua Xu, waiting for the tribe to find her and send her back.
really.
Three months later, Hua Xu's belly gradually swelled up. The tribespeople noticed something was wrong and quickly called an experienced old woman to examine her. After examining her, the old woman was surprised to tell everyone: Hua Xu was pregnant.
The news caused an uproar throughout the entire Feng clan.
When Hua Xu's father learned of this, he was furious. He interrogated his daughter, demanding to know which man had defiled her.
No matter how much he and his people questioned her, Hua Xu insisted that it was an accident that happened while she was playing in Leize—she didn't know what happened, she just walked into a huge footprint and fainted, and when she woke up...
Hua Xu's father refused to believe it. He was convinced that his daughter was fabricating lies to protect that unknown man.
The elders of the tribe were also discussing it, and finally they all agreed that Hua Xu was carrying a demon, which was an ominous sign.
Hua Xu's father was determined and kept pressuring her to abort the child. Hua Xu pleaded desperately, but to no avail, and spent her days in tears.
At night, Hua Xu dreamt of a Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest was none other than the Grand Master Xuandu. He arrived on a cloud and stood in the dream, his voice booming like a bell: "I am Xuandu of the Human Sect, young lady, do not be afraid. The child in your womb is a great sage of the human race, not a demon. You should rest assured and nurture your pregnancy. From today onwards, food will be delivered to your door every day."
Hua Xu awoke from her dream with a start, half believing and half doubting.
By dawn, the entire tribe was in an uproar.
A Qilin descended from the sky on auspicious clouds, carrying a basket of spiritual fruits and food in its mouth, and landed steadily at the entrance of Hua Xu's residence.
The Qilin was entirely golden, its scales were imposing, and its four hooves trod on fire, exuding an aura of sacredness and inviolability.
When Hua Xu opened the door, she was overjoyed and burst into tears. She knelt on the ground, repeatedly bowing towards the sky, murmuring, "Thank you, Immortal Master! Thank you, Immortal Master!"
The clansmen rushed over upon hearing the commotion. They were both surprised and delighted to see the auspicious Qilin, and immediately summoned Huaxu's father.
Upon seeing the auspicious beast carrying food, and recalling his daughter's dream from the previous night, the old man was filled with doubt and apprehension. After much contemplation, he finally changed his mind and dared not force his daughter to have an abortion.
"Since auspicious beasts brought food and warned us in a dream, it means this unborn child is indeed of great importance," Hua Xu's father said awkwardly, feeling quite remorseful for his previous rude behavior.
At that very moment—
Suddenly, celestial music filled the sky, auspicious clouds drifted in, precious flowers fell in profusion, and a unique fragrance filled the air. The entire sky seemed to be shrouded in a layer of golden auspicious clouds, its radiance shining brightly upon the earth.
A figure descended from the sky; it was none other than Grand Master Xuandu.
He stood on auspicious clouds, surrounded by celestial light, exuding an extraordinary and refined aura.
"Who is this?" Hua Xu's father asked in shock, his legs involuntarily going weak.
"This is none other than the Grand Master Xuandu of the Human Sect! The immortal who appeared in my daughter's dream!" Hua Xu recognized the figure in her dream and was overjoyed. She immediately knelt down to pay her respects.
"Greetings, Immortal Master!" Upon hearing this, Hua Xu's father dared not be negligent and knelt down with a thud.
"Greetings, Immortal Master!" The other human members of the tribes were also so frightened that they prostrated themselves on the ground, bowing repeatedly. Who wouldn't want to become an immortal? Now that they had witnessed a god descending to earth, they were all trembling with excitement.
"Please, everyone, no need for formalities."
With a smile on his face, Xuan Du waved his hand, and an invisible force surged out, helping everyone to their feet.
He looked at Hua Xu with gentle eyes and said slowly, "The child in your womb is a sage of the human race, no ordinary being. He will not be born soon, but will be born in twelve years. His name is Fuxi, and he will take your surname, Feng. I have a master-disciple relationship with him, and I will come to take him as my disciple at that time."
"Thank you, Immortal Master! Thank you, Immortal Master!" Hua Xu was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes, and she kowtowed repeatedly.
Xuan Du nodded slightly, and his figure gradually disappeared into the sky.
The entire Feng clan was in an uproar, everyone feeling proud. If a sage truly emerged from the clan, the Feng clan would rise to prominence! From then on, who would dare to look down on them?
The crowd gathered around Hua Xu, offering their congratulations in a flurry of voices, all the previous sarcastic remarks long since vanished.
Hua Xu stroked her slightly protruding belly, gazing at the auspicious clouds gradually dissipating in the sky, her heart filled with anticipation and joy.
