Chapter 436: The Dawn of Civilization, Meeting with the Matchmaker (Part 2)
Who could have imagined that Tai Hao's strength would be so formidable, with just a few thousand years of cultivation, he suppressed those human Daluo Golden Immortals who had cultivated for countless years.
After this battle, Tai Hao's prestige among the Human Clan instantly grew, making the division of power that followed much easier for him.
Once the division of power was clear, Tai Hao implemented a top-down approach, having the creatures of the Human Clan abide by the laws belonging to the Human Clan Ancestral Land.
Gradually, the originally somewhat chaotic state of the Human Clan Ancestral Land began to change, becoming increasingly orderly.
The clear division of power made it simpler and more orderly for both the creatures with issues to be solved and those solving them.
With this, Tai Hao's prestige in the Human Clan Ancestral Land grew ever higher.
Once most creatures of the Human Clan Ancestral Land were abiding by the laws of the Human Clan, Tai Hao once again sought out the three ancestors of the Human Clan to discuss future matters.
Now that the laws were established, issues such as battle, inheritance, and logistics naturally needed to be addressed gradually.
The various initiatives of Tai Hao were clearly observed by the three ancestors of the Human Clan.
When compared to Tai Hao, they realized they might not be nearly as competent in governing the Human Clan.
Thus, it seemed as if the three ancestors of the Human Clan had agreed among themselves and eventually handed over the tasks of battle, inheritance, and logistics entirely to Tai Hao.
Tai Hao initially intended to decline, but a few words from Sui Ren made him accept the corresponding responsibility.
"Among our Human Clan, only you, Tai Hao, have visited the Heaven and Human Clan and know what battle, inheritance, and logistics truly entail, as these are the four foundations of civilization."
"If you do not take on this responsibility, then within the Human Clan Ancestral Land, who can possibly bear the burden of so many people?"
Tai Hao sat upright in the great hall, reminiscing about the past events.
Under the persuasion of Sui Ren, he bore the heavy responsibilities of the Human Clan and further divided the creatures of the Human Clan Ancestral Land under the laws.
He also redivided the power of the Daluo Golden Immortal creatures of the Human Clan Ancestral Land, assigning them to battle, logistics, and inheritance.
Thanks to Tai Hao's various efforts, the four foundations supporting the Human Clan gradually took shape, and the state of the Human Clan Ancestral Land was continuously changing.
Thinking of the various changes in the Human Clan, a smile involuntarily appeared on Tai Hao's face, as he could feel the civilization of the Human Clan birthing.
Despite this, he dared not slacken even for a moment. The beginning of a civilization is indeed something worth celebrating, yet it is also the phase most prone to premature demise.
With a thought, the Innate Eight Diagram appeared at his location in the great hall, slowly rotating, deducing the laws of the Human Clan.
The laws should not be rigid but should evolve with the world, in accordance with the era, and continually change.
Now, the laws of the Human Clan Ancestral Land were no longer the original laws Tai Hao created but had been continuously adjusted to conform to the Human Clan Ancestral Land.
And during this ten thousand years, as the fate of the Human Clan continued to grow stronger, it seemed to have a trend of becoming even more prosperous.
Tai Hao's cultivation also became increasingly powerful, with his speed of cultivation becoming faster and faster.
Under such circumstances, Tai Hao was even more certain of a close connection between his cultivation and the Human Clan.
The more prosperous the Human Clan becomes, the faster Tai Hao's cultivation improves.
However, Tai Hao felt no annoyance at this; instead, he found it quite enjoyable.
That's also good, Tai Hao's energy is ultimately limited, and he now devotes most of his energy to the numerous affairs of the Human Clan Ancestral Land, naturally resulting in some neglect in cultivation.
Being able to enhance his cultivation alongside the prosperity of the Human Clan is indeed an excellent choice for Tai Hao.
...
Feng Qi Mountain.
The Nuwa Saint, who was meditating with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes and gently furrowed her brows.
With a thought, a Red Embroidery Ball appeared in her hand.
Opportunity?
The Nuwa Saint thought in her mind.
She recalled that this was the same feeling before the Heavenly Marriage between Emperor Jun of the Demon Clan and the two Taiyin Lords, Xi He and Chang Xi took place.
Moreover, even after their Heavenly Marriage ended, Nuwa still sensed that the opportunity within the Red Embroidery Ball had not ended.
Could it be that this is the second emergence of an opportunity within the Red Embroidery Ball?
The Nuwa Saint immersed her heart in the Red Embroidery Ball, carefully comprehending the essence within it.
But after a moment, the Nuwa Saint's heart returned, and she softly said, "Human Marriage?"
This matter is unexpectedly related to the Human Clan. One should know, even when she acquired the Red Embroidery Ball or when the Heavenly Marriage ended, the Human Clan had yet to be born.
And now the opportunity is present within the Human Clan. What secrets are hidden within the Human Clan?
Instinctively, the Nuwa Saint used the Mountain and River Map as a medium to calculate things concerning her brother within the Human Clan.
Through calculation, the Nuwa Saint also perceived the current state of the Human Clan Ancestral Land.
She was greatly amazed by the contents of her calculations because, within the current state of the Human Clan, she saw traces of her brother.
In the past, her brother traveled among the various tribes of the Human Clan, pointing out the many issues existing within it.
And now, while not all of the problems her brother had pointed out were resolved, the Human Clan Ancestral Land was moving in that direction.
No wonder, when Emperor Jun of the Demon Clan proposed to seal memories and other actions, her brother hesitated only for a moment before agreeing.
Even without memory, Tai Hao seems to be progressing according to the path her brother set.
Or perhaps, as Tai Hao matures, although lacking the relevant memory, he yearns increasingly to align himself with her brother.
After a long time, the Nuwa Saint ceased her calculations, put away the Mountain and River Map, and softly spoke.
"As civilization begins, the Human Clan is becoming increasingly stable, and it is fitting for Human Marriage to be born."
With this in mind, a thought from the Nuwa Saint summoned a figure to her side.
She was the benevolent corpse of the Nuwa Saint, an elderly woman dressed in red with a kind and amiable demeanor, known as the Matchmaker.
The Nuwa Saint turned her head and looked at the beaming Matchmaker standing to one side, speaking slowly: "Trouble you, dear friend, to take the Red Embroidery Ball and visit the Human Clan."
As soon as the words fell, the Red Embroidery Ball, originally in the hands of the Nuwa Saint, appeared before the Matchmaker.
With a radiant smile, the Matchmaker softly said: "Rest assured, my true self, I am enshrined by the Heavenly Emperor, acting as the Matchmaker of the Heavenly Court. The matter of Human Marriage should indeed be my mission."
As soon as she finished speaking, the Red Embroidery Ball floating in front of the Matchmaker transformed into a stream of light, entering her body.
The Matchmaker is not only the name of the Nuwa Saint's benevolent corpse but also the position she holds in the Heavenly Court.
In truth, the Matchmaker has always been within the Heavenly Court, governing the marriages of all beings in the Primordial Heaven and Earth.
Her position is exalted, yet her fame remains uncelebrated.
Even the beings in the Primordial World have no knowledge of such an existence within the Heavenly Court; the same is true for the Demon Clan.
But as the Matchmaker is the benevolent corpse of the Nuwa Saint, she appears beside the Nuwa Saint with just a thought from the latter.
Without much communication, the Matchmaker departed Feng Qi Mountain and headed towards the Human Clan Ancestral Land.
Taiyin Star, Di Jun slowly opened his eyes, gazing towards the direction of the Heavenly Realm.
Even though he wasn't within the Heavenly Realm, he still maintained strong control over it and the Heavenly Court.
At the moment the moon vanished from the Heavenly Court, Di Jun sensed it immediately.
This marked the first time the Matchmaker left the Heavenly Court and the Heavenly Realm since being enshrined.
Regarding this, Di Jun thought of the various legends from the past life, harboring some guesses within his heart.
Heaven, Earth, and Human, three marriages.
Now that the civilization of the Human Clan has begun to manifest, it is fitting for Human Marriage to be born in the Heaven and Earth.
Perhaps the Nuwa Saint sensed the opportunity hence, recalling the Matchmaker to her side for some undefined purpose.
