Words that Reach Heaven, The Long River of Time.

Chapter 96 Words that Reach Heaven, The Long River of Time.

The vast, untamed land, on the shores of the East China Sea.

At this moment, on the mountaintop by the East China Sea, Chen Qing stood there, gazing at the four directions of heaven and earth. Behind him, the Sage of Taiqing, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, the Master of Tongtian, the Sage of Nuwa, and the three ancestors of the human race were all deep in thought.

They were all pondering how to ensure that the human race could truly secure its position as the overlord of the primordial world, and how to gain the genuine submission of all races.

Chen Qing knew very well that the root cause was the weakness of the human race itself. If the human race were strong and had powerful beings with great supernatural abilities, none of this would have happened.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Qing turned around and looked at everyone, then shook his head helplessly.

The Tongtian Sect Leader glanced at Chen Qing, then looked at the others, and slowly spoke.

"The human race is indeed a bit weak. Compared with the major races in the prehistoric world, they are slightly inferior, but compared with the minor races in the prehistoric world, their strength is acceptable. In the prehistoric world, they can only be considered as an average existence."

"Otherwise, we four sages will take turns preaching to the human race and raising their strength."

After saying this, the Tongtian Sect Leader looked at everyone.

After saying this, he shook his head. The Tongtian Sect Leader knew very well that relying solely on the teachings of the Four Sages was simply not enough to make up for the top strength of the human race and the great races of the prehistoric world.

After all, the power of a great master cannot be improved by simply preaching.

Those with great supernatural powers possess a profound understanding of the primordial world, of its laws, and of their own Great Dao; this cannot be achieved through mere preaching.

Those at or below the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm can still compensate through preaching, but once they surpass the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, preaching becomes of little use, and they rely more on their own comprehension.

The Sage Taiqing, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, and the Sage Nuwa glanced at the Master of the Heavenly Realm, then shook their heads and remained silent.

They all knew that the Tongtian Sect Leader was also doing it for the good of humanity, and that what he said was also for humanity's benefit. Although their teachings could not produce top-tier supernatural beings among humanity, only when the foundation was solid could there be an opportunity for supernatural beings to emerge.

The crowd pondered the words of the Tongtian Sect Leader, considering their feasibility, since what he said was indeed a possible method.

Taiqing Laozi and Nuwa exchanged a glance, both seeing the solemnity in each other's eyes.

One of them was the leader of the Human Religion, and the other was the one who created the human race. The human race had a great connection with the two of them.

If the human race can secure its position as the overlord of the prehistoric world, then with the blessing of good fortune, the two of them will be able to advance even further.

Nuwa, in particular, is now even more anxious. After all, the demon race has lost its position as the overlord of heaven and earth. If the human race can become the sole overlord of the prehistoric world, it can make up for the fortune she has lost.

If that's the case, then her own fortune won't suffer much loss, and it won't be a great loss for her as a follower of the Great Dao.

Furthermore, the sage Nuwa also had her own ulterior motives, namely, the matter of her brother Fuxi.

At this time, Fuxi had already died in the war between the witches and demons. His physical body was destroyed, and only his true spirit remained. He was nurturing himself in the Mountain and River Map and had not gone to the underworld to reincarnate.

The reason why the sage Nuwa did not allow Fuxi to reincarnate was because the underworld was the territory of the Wu tribe, while Fuxi was the demon emperor of the demon tribe. If he went to the underworld, there might be other unexpected events.

If Chen Qing could help Fuxi achieve reincarnation, that would be the best thing ever.

After all, Chen Qing's relationship with Consort Pingxin was something they couldn't compare to.

After Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, transformed into the Land of Reincarnation, Chen Qing presided over all affairs of the Underworld. It was also Chen Qing who built the Underworld, thus allowing Lady Pingxin to return from endless time and space.

At this moment, if Chen Qing were to go to the underworld, his treatment would be different from theirs.

The sage Nuwa came to the shores of the East Sea because of this matter; she wanted to find a way out for her brother Fuxi.

After all, it's not sustainable for Fuxi's true spirit to remain nurtured along the paths of mountains, rivers, and the state; he will eventually be reincarnated.

Hearing the words of the Tongtian Sect Master, the three ancestors of the human race were naturally delighted. After all, it was a good thing for the entire human race to explain the Great Dao, as it could enhance the strength of the human race.

The sage expounding the Great Dao—this is an immense opportunity, one can only imagine.

In the primordial world, very few people have ever truly heard the Great Dao of the Sages, especially since there has never been a Sage specifically preaching the Dao to a particular clan.

At this moment, the Tongtian Sect Leader said that he would explain the Great Dao specifically for the human race, which was a pioneering move. It would not only allow the human race to quickly improve its strength, but also let all races see how much the sage valued the human race.

The three ancestors of the human race naturally did not object to this matter; on the contrary, they greatly agreed and hoped that the four sages would begin to explain the Great Dao at this time, specifically to explain the Great Dao of Sagehood to the human race, so that the human race could quickly improve its strength.

Humanity may not have many other things, but its population is enormous. The three ancestors of humanity endured hardship, and as long as the sages expounded the Great Dao, there would always be a few who could stand out and make rapid progress in their cultivation. Even if they could not become great supernatural beings, they could still increase the number of human beings at the Golden Immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal, and Daluo Golden Immortal levels.

This indirectly enhanced the strength of the human race, increasing their overall power.

Chen Qing glanced at the Tongtian Sect Leader, and upon hearing the Sect Leader's suggestion, he did not object but nodded in agreement.

After all, he had seen the sages explain the Great Dao; he had experienced it both on Kunlun Mountain and on Jin'ao Island.

The Great Path of Sagehood, while it cannot directly create great supernatural beings or quasi-sages, can indeed enhance people's understanding of the Great Path and improve their strength.

If four sages were to explain the Great Dao, it wouldn't take many years, just tens of thousands of years of experience, for the human race's strength to double. As for those at the level of great supernatural beings, that can only be achieved slowly, by waiting for the right opportunity.

After pondering for a while, Chen Qing glanced at the Four Saints, then at the Three Ancestors of the Human Race, and finally sighed helplessly.

"Very well, then let me see how the human race grows in the years to come."

Upon hearing Chen Qing's words, the Four Sages and the Three Ancestors all looked at him. They forgot to directly observe the River of Time and see how the human race grew and how it secured its position as the overlord of the prehistoric world.

After all, although the future is unpredictable, as long as one is strong enough and expends a great deal of magical power to observe the development of the human race, one can learn from it.

Ultimately, only by understanding how things developed can we effectively find solutions.

Chen Qing didn't say much, but instead began to talk about the long river of time.

In the endless expanse of time and space, the river of time constantly shifts its position.

Chen Qing, however, relied on his future self to directly communicate with the river of time, guiding it to descend directly into this world.

As time passed, the power of time began to permeate the world. In an instant, the river of time manifested itself above Chen Qing's head.

The four sages and the three patriarchs looked at the long river of time, a hint of awe in their eyes.

At this moment, they clearly understood that within this long river of time, there was not only the present, but also the past and the future.

Chen Qing glanced at the long river of time above his head, and his Dao body stepped out from the endless dimensions of time and space. The supreme Dharma form manifested, and both his past and present bodies stepped out from the endless dimensions of time and space and stood beside Chen Qing.

Chen Qing's eyes revealed an indifferent look as he gazed at the River of Time. The galaxy within his body circulated, and changes began to appear on the River of Time.

A sound of footsteps came from the river of time, and as the footsteps drew closer, a figure materialized.

Chen Qing looked at the figure, a look of helplessness in his eyes.

At this moment, he wants to rely on his future self to directly observe the long river of time and see how the human race will grow into the overlord of heaven and earth and firmly occupy the position of the overlord of heaven and earth.

The four saints and the three ancestors all looked at that figure with a hint of awe in their eyes.

This figure exerted immense pressure on them; they appeared so insignificant before it.

At this moment, in Mount Sumeru, the Sage Amitabha and the Sage Cundi sat facing each other.

They all watched this scene quietly, gazing upon the shores of the East China Sea.

As early as when Chen Qing's aura was spreading, it had already attracted their attention. Even after the arrival of the Four Saints, they were still pondering whether to go to the East Sea coast as well. However, after thinking for a long time, the two of them could not find a suitable reason.

With Chen Qing around, it's not a place where humans can go or leave as they please.

After all, Chen Qing's strength is undeniable. If they were to make a mistake and displease Chen Qing, what would become of their Western Sect in the future?

Therefore, neither the Sage of Reception nor the Sage of Cundi went there. Instead, they kept an eye on the shores of the East Sea, wanting to see how the human race would secure its position as the overlord of the primordial world.

After all, the position of overlord of the primordial world is not something that can be obtained at will; it requires sufficient strength to maintain one's hold on to it.

Even powerful races like the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan, who were once the overlords of the primordial world, still met their end in the struggle for that sole overlord position.

In the eyes of the Sages Jieyin and Zhunti, the human race has no great supernatural beings besides Chen Qing. If Chen Qing were to pass away one day, there would surely be disloyal individuals among the myriad races of the prehistoric world. How could the human race suppress all the races on its own?

At this critical moment, a crucial breakthrough was needed, and the two saints wanted to see how the human race would break the deadlock and escape this stalemate.

In fact, the two saints knew very well that to break this deadlock, they only needed to produce a person with great supernatural powers in their clan.

But great supernatural beings are not so easy to come by. Since the beginning of time, there have been many great supernatural beings in the primordial world, but who has not gone through a long period of cultivation to achieve this?

Humanity has only existed since Nuwa created it, and has only been cultivating for a few years. There are no people with great supernatural powers in the race, so how could anyone achieve success in cultivation?

The situation has now reached a dead end, and breaking out of it will be extremely difficult.
