Primordial Ancient Serpent-Chapter 476: Sanqing Enters the Prehistoric World, and Daode Tianzun Realizes an Epiphany
Chapter 476 - 476: Sanqing Enters the Prehistoric World, and Daode Tianzun Realizes an Epiphany
With the sanctification of Nuwa, after tens of thousands of years of reproduction, the number of humans increased from 129,000 to tens of billions.
These tens of billions of human beings were then sent by Nuwa into the Prehistoric World and other Great Thousand Worlds.
Of course, this number was still a drop in the ocean compared to the vast populations across the many Great Thousand Worlds. Introducing them into these worlds was like tossing a pebble into the sea—incapable of stirring even the slightest ripple.
Even if other gods noticed the existence of these humans, they only regarded them as ordinary beasts. After all, countless similar lives filled the heavens and myriad worlds—hardly worth a second glance.
At that moment, Daode Tianzun, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Lingbao Tianzun gathered together.
"Elder Brother, I truly didn't expect that our Eighth Junior Sister would be the first to attain sainthood," Yuanshi Tianzun said with emotion.
To be honest, after hearing that Nuwa had become sanctified, he felt a twinge of complexity in his heart. He had always believed that among their senior brothers and sisters, the three of them were the most talented and thus should have been the first to be sanctified.
Yet Nuwa had surpassed them all. It was completely unexpected.
"It's no problem," Daode Tianzun waved his hand. "Cultivation isn't about who attains it sooner. What matters is who can go the farthest. Being one step behind is not necessarily a disadvantage."
His mentality remained calm and indifferent. Even if he were the last to be sanctified, it wouldn't matter. As long as he discovered his own path and continued walking it, that was enough.
"It's just that I don't understand how the Eighth Junior Sister became sanctified. It's said that she didn't use the Primordial Purple Qi, but instead had an epiphany and was promoted naturally," Lingbao Tianzun asked curiously, clearly interested in the unique path that Nuwa had taken.
"I asked her before," Daode Tianzun said in a low voice. "She created a race called the Human Race and, in doing so, gained the merits of the Origin of Chaos, which led to her sainthood."
"No way. She became sanctified just by creating a race?"
Yuanshi Tianzun found it difficult to believe.
Truth be told, countless Chaos Demon Gods had created races and only reached the Quasi-Saint Realm. Few had ever received merit or become saints through that act alone.
"It's more accurate to say that she had already reached the consummation of the Quasi-Saint Realm but lacked only the final push. Creating the human race was the spark that opened the gate to sainthood," explained Daode Tianzun.
He believed that Nuwa's sanctification wasn't solely due to the creation of humans but was the culmination of countless years of accumulation. This act granted her an epiphany and allowed her to break through.
"I'm very interested in the human race created by Junior Sister Nuwa. To gain the merit of the Origin of Chaos—it's something I've never heard of," said Lingbao Tianzun, intrigued by their origin.
"You're not alone. In fact, Junior Sister Nuwa has released humans into many great worlds," said Daode Tianzun. "According to her, while the human race has great potential, they also have many flaws. They are no different from beasts at the moment. They cannot understand the language or characters of the Chaos Demon Gods. She considers that her failure."
"What? Then what's the point? If they can't even learn language or writing, how can they cultivate?" Yuanshi Tianzun frowned. "Why would Junior Sister Nuwa create such a race? No wonder she views it as a failure."
"That's why I must go see for myself. There may be a chance for me to find my path to sainthood among the human race," said Daode Tianzun, eyes gleaming.
"If Elder Brother is going, we will naturally follow you to the end," Lingbao Tianzun said, cupping his hands respectfully.
It wasn't long before the Sanqing returned to the Prehistoric World. As natives of this world and disciples of the Lord of Chaos City, they were granted the authority to enter and leave freely.
Soon, they found a primitive human tribe deep within an ancient forest. This tribe was still stuck in a bloodthirsty era and was extremely weak.

If these humans encountered any other prehistoric creatures, they would be slaughtered instantly.
"Sure enough, it's a failure."
Yuanshi Tianzun frowned. "Short-lived, low intelligence, even though born with a Dao Body, they cannot step on the path of cultivation. They really are no different from beasts."
He instantly saw through their flaws. These humans were not even comparable to the low-level monsters born of the Prehistoric World. They were bottom-tier creatures.
"No, no. Second Brother is mistaken."
At that moment, Daode Tianzun's eyes shone with a terrifying brilliance. Eight Trigrams symbols swirled deep within his pupils, as if he had deduced countless futures in an instant.
"Elder Brother, what do you mean? Do you truly see potential in the human race?" asked Yuanshi Tianzun.
"Yes, I do," nodded Daode Tianzun. "The human race is a unique existence within the heavens and myriad worlds. It's astonishing—they are born with a Heavenly Dao Body and are free from the pain of transformation.
True, they have short lives and low intelligence, but these are things that can be corrected. If we help them evolve to the Immortal Realm, open their sea of consciousness, and expand their minds, they may yet walk the path of cultivation.
And once they do, their comprehension of the Dao of Heaven and Earth may far surpass any other race."
He seemed to see the boundless future that lay ahead for the human race.
"But that's the problem. How can we help them evolve to the Immortal Realm?" Yuanshi Tianzun asked. "Even Saints would struggle to carve out a path of cultivation for them. It's like trying to teach cats and dogs advanced technology—pure fantasy."
"It is precisely because it is difficult that it is valuable."
Daode Tianzun clenched his fists, visibly excited. "Before, I took all things under Heaven as my teacher—the Earth follows the Heaven, Heaven follows the Dao, and the Dao follows Nature. From this, I gained endless insight.
But I forgot one critical truth: Heaven bestows all things to support humanity, yet humanity lacks the virtue to repay Heaven.
If we attain the Dao and become saints, then that enlightenment is a gift from Heaven and Earth. Thus, we must also give back. This is the cycle of the Heavenly Dao.
Now, I finally understand why our master preached in the Age of Chaos, when all was in ignorance—to spread enlightenment in a time when even Chaos Demon Gods were ignorant."
Faintly, a majestic aura began to emanate from him, as if he had achieved a sudden epiphany.
"So what exactly are you planning, Elder Brother?"
Both Yuanshi Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun looked at Daode Tianzun, deeply curious about what their elder brother had in mind.
