They also wished to cultivate the Heaven-Shielding Method, thereby gaining the strength to resist the demon race.
They did not seek to resist the innate deities of the Demon Court, but merely to resist the acquired beings of the Demon Court; for them, this would be enough.
The chieftain of the Kui Shui tribe, like the chieftain of the Xuan Yang tribe before cultivating the Heaven-Shielding Method, had a cultivation base of early-stage Profound Immortal.
He personally came to the Xuan Yang tribe, requesting that the Xuan Yang chieftain teach them the Heaven-Shielding Method.
Regarding this matter, the Xuan Yang chieftain did not give an immediate reply.
Although, from the perspective of being fellow humans, the Xuan Yang chieftain was a thousand times willing, ten thousand times willing, to teach the Heaven-Shielding Method to the Kui Shui chieftain.
In the Primordial World, the human race was inherently united. If the weakest, bottom-tier race were to engage in infighting, they would have long since perished.
For any action that benefited the development of the human race's strength, most people would not hoard it for themselves.
If a treasure could not be shared with others, then so be it.
But for spells and divine abilities that could be shared, people generally did not hide them for personal use.
This era was different from the scheming and plotting of later generations of humans. The human race had no noble families, and generally did not engage in internal strife.
If in later generations there was an excellent cultivation technique, most people would hide it for their own use rather than share it selflessly. But in this era, most people could share it selflessly.
The Xuan Yang chieftain naturally also wished to share the Heaven-Shielding Method selflessly.
He did not consider the Heaven-Shielding Method to be the private property of the Xuan Yang tribe, nor did he intend to prevent its spread to other tribes.
However, while he had the thought of selfless sharing, the Xuan Yang chieftain did not immediately answer the Kui Shui chieftain.
This was because he understood very well who had passed down the Heaven-Shielding Method.
The Heaven-Shielding Method was passed down by Fang Ming. He had the intention of selfless sharing, but Fang Ming might not.
The decision of whether to spread it or not ultimately depended on Fang Ming's wishes.
The Xuan Yang chieftain had no intention of forcing Fang Ming's agreement, using the so-called righteousness of the human race, or grand principles, to compel a tribesman to agree to selfless sharing. This was absolutely unacceptable; private property should be subject to inquiry.
Respecting the private property of others was a special tenet of the human race.
Whether others were willing to share selflessly was one thing; forcibly compelling them to share selflessly with grand principles was another.
Even if Suiren Shi and the other three ancestors of the human race knew that the Heaven-Shielding Method was extremely beneficial to the human race, if Fang Ming did not agree to its spread, they would absolutely not resort to any means to seize or oppress him.
The three ancestors of the human race, as Human Ancestors, the progenitors of the human race, naturally possessed extremely high moral character.
They would not do such a thing.
In this era, whether it was ordinary humans, tribal high-ranking officials, or the three thousand innate humans, the vast majority did not harbor selfish intentions.
Except for...
The Xuan Yang chieftain thought of a certain innate human.
"Xuan Du..."
When the Xuan Yang chieftain thought of Xuan Du, his heart was filled with contempt.
The vast majority of humans had no selfish intentions and did not engage in internal strife, but with so many trees, there were bound to be all sorts of peculiar birds.
Ultimately, there was a small portion of people who looked down on their human identity and desperately wanted to be dogs.
Xuan Du was such a person.
In order to seek supreme merit and to become an immortal or a sage, Xuan Du dared to bow before any mountain he encountered, begging to be a dog for the innate deities. He strived for hundreds of thousands of years, knelt countless times, and kowtowed innumerable times. In the end, he truly managed to enter the sect of the Grand Pure Sage.
Perhaps the Grand Pure Sage valued his potential to be a dog.
Then, after a million years of being a disciple of the Grand Pure Sage, it was said that Xuan Du cultivated the "Grand Pure Art" passed down by the Grand Pure Sage, possessing profound cultivation, even far surpassing the three ancestors of the human race.
But he focused solely on his cultivation, ignoring the suffering of the human race being slaughtered by the demons. He remained on Mount Shouyang, looking down upon the suffering of the human race.
Legend had it that Xuan Du had always envied the origins of the innate deities and disdained his own human identity.
The Xuan Yang chieftain believed these rumors.
Otherwise, he would not have asked Xuan Du to descend the mountain to rescue the human race and resist the demon race. Merely as the chief disciple of a sage, if he had spoken a few kind words for the human race to the high-ranking officials of the Demon Court, the human race would not be suffering so miserably.
Unfortunately, Xuan Du did not even wish to say a few kind words for the human race. After entering the Grand Pure sect, he seemed to have forgotten that he was human.
"Alas, if Xuan Du could have asked the Grand Pure Sage to speak a few kind words for the human race, they would not be suffering so miserably."
"And Empress Nuwa... why doesn't she care about the human race."
"Alas... it is indeed as my son said, seeking immortals and worshipping gods is far less effective than seeking oneself."
The Xuan Yang chieftain mused about various matters in his mind. His views had actually shifted from seeking innate deities to self-reliance.
As he thought, he walked into Fang Ming's house.
The Xuan Yang chieftain saw that Fang Ming seemed to be manipulating something unknown.
The Xuan Yang chieftain could not understand what this object was.
"My son, what is this thing?"
Fang Ming smiled and continued to fiddle with the heavenly machine interference device in his hand, not answering the Xuan Yang chieftain's question. Instead, he retorted:
"Father, why are you here?"
Since Fang Ming did not answer, the Xuan Yang chieftain knew that he had his reasons and deliberately avoided the topic, saying:
"Now the chieftain of the Kui Shui tribe also knows that our Xuan Yang tribe's Heaven-Shielding Method far surpasses the Golden Core Method, and has specifically come to request it."
"I've come to ask for your opinion, can this method be spread?"
Spread the Heaven-Shielding Method?
Fang Ming's spirit jolted. So it was about this matter.
For Fang Ming, this matter was naturally absolutely feasible!
Spreading the Heaven-Shielding Method would earn him origin points as a system owner.
Although Fang Ming was currently only bound to the Xuan Yang tribe, logically speaking, even if everyone in the Kui Shui tribe cultivated the Heaven-Shielding Method and reached a very high realm, Fang Ming, as the young chieftain of the Xuan Yang tribe, would not receive any origin points from the system.
Fang Ming could only gain origin points from the development of the Xuan Yang tribe.
In the short term, there were no benefits.
But one had to look at things in the long term. Fang Ming's goal was to become the Human Emperor. Once he became the Human Emperor, the entire human race would be within his binding range, and the development of the Kui Shui tribe would naturally be calculated as system origin points.
There was no harm in spreading the Heaven-Shielding Method in advance; at most, he would not receive origin points for the time being.
Anyway, once he became the Human Emperor, this income would be his sooner or later. Looking at it this way, there was no problem in teaching it to the Kui Shui tribe now.
Fang Ming made up his mind.
However, he then thought and realized another possibility.
Now, the strength of the Xuan Yang tribe had long surpassed the entire human race. Even the Kui Shui tribe had come to request Fang Ming to bestow the Heaven-Shielding Method.
This indicated that the time to become the Human Emperor had ripened.
The plan could begin.
It was also time to see if he could invite the three ancestors of the human race to visit the Xuan Yang tribe.
If Suiren Shi were to visit and witness the terrifying growth in strength of the Xuan Yang tribe, it would greatly help him in becoming the Human Emperor.
With this thought, Fang Ming said, "Father, since I am in the Xuan Yang tribe and spreading the Heaven-Shielding Method to all humans, my only purpose is for the human race to develop and grow stronger."
