I am a fairy in Journey to the West

When the Fire Spirit Immortal suggested discussing the matter, he was not referring to the Human Emperors, but rather to the officials in charge of the Heavenly Court.

First is the Supreme Emperor of the Divine Firmament Jade Palace, the Great Savior from Suffering, and then the Supreme Emperor of the Divine Thunder Jade Palace, the Nine Heavens Responding to the Origin of Thunder, the Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable.

Secondly, Erlang Zhenjun, the Grand Master of Tian Shu Province, is also among them. As the head of Tian Shu Province, he naturally cannot bypass such matters.

The meeting was held in the Chenhuan Hall of Lingtai Palace, and no one sat in the main seat; everyone sat in the secondary seat.

"The emperors always say that the human race is supreme, so it is only natural that they want to establish a 'human race camp'," said Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun first.

The Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation and Responding to the Origin of Thunder said, "It is just that the principle of human supremacy is inconsistent with the concept of 'all things are equal' of our Heavenly Court."

Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun said, "After all, they are the Human Emperor, so of course they should consider things from the perspective of the human race."

Lei Zu Tianzun said, "But now they are celestial officials of the Heavenly Court, so of course they must abide by the principles of the Heavenly Court."

Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun said, "But from a common sense point of view, it is reasonable for the human emperors to make this request. The equality of all beings is just a concept, not a law of heaven, and cannot bind others."

Lei Zu Tianzun nodded and said, "That's true, but I think this request can be rejected. Which of the four existing battle camps doesn't have human cultivators? Why bother creating another human camp?"

Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun said, "What you say makes sense. Deliberately dividing them into different categories and differentiating them from other camps risks alienating and causing disloyalty."

Listening to the two emperors' discussion, True Immortal Fire Spirit asked, "Neither of your Majesties approves of establishing a 'Human Race Camp'?"

Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun and Leizu Tianzun nodded in unison and said, "That's right."

The Fire Spirit Immortal then asked Erlang Shen, "Erlang Zhenjun, what is your opinion?"

Erlang Shen said, “What Your Majesties say makes sense. However, I believe that given the current situation, it is imperative to increase the number of troops and expand the army. Moreover, if we do not grant the request of the Emperors today, it will be difficult to save face for the Emperors when our Tian Shu Province expands its army in the future.”

Fire Spirit Immortal nodded and said, "This is indeed a practical issue. Expanding the army and increasing the number of camps is inevitable in the future, so we cannot use this reason to reject the requests of the human emperors."

At this point, Huo Ling Zhenxian looked at Erlang Shen again and said, "Erlang Zhenjun, please continue."

Erlang Shen nodded and said, "There is one more thing. Although the Human Emperors are celestial officials of my Heavenly Court, their power has not been fully utilized. If we can expand the camp according to their wishes, then the power of these Human Emperors can be fully utilized."

"Furthermore, since these emperors are sages, and they have personally come to the Jade Palace of the Mortal Realm to request the establishment of a separate camp, I think there is really no need to offend them," Erlang Shen said.

Fire Spirit Immortal nodded slightly. She also thought that Erlang Shen's words made sense. Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun and Leizu Tianzun were refuting based on the 'ideologies' of the Heavenly Court, but Erlang Shen was considering things from a practical perspective.

Fire Spirit Immortal looked at the two emperors again, "Your Majesty, I think what Erlang Zhenjun said makes a lot of sense. May I ask what Your Majesty thinks?"

Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun and Leizu Tianzun certainly understood that Erlang Shen's words were correct, but as venerable gods of the Heavenly Court, they naturally prioritized the Heavenly Court's principles.

These two emperors, who saved all living beings without distinguishing between high and low status, naturally did not approve of the practices of the human emperors.

However, they were also aware of the current situation, so after a brief exchange of glances, the two emperors, led by Lei Zu Tianzun, said: "It can only be said that, given the current situation, it is necessary to expand the camp and increase the army, and the requests of the human emperors are also reasonable. But for the sake of unity within our Pangu Manifestation, we believe that this camp, which was established at the request of the human emperors, should not be named after the 'human race'."

“Yes,” said Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun. “Today we have a human camp, tomorrow will there be a demon camp, and the day after tomorrow a monster camp? Then there will be Buddhist camps, Taoist camps, and all sorts of other camps. Aren’t they just a bunch of mountain strongholds?”

Erlang Shen agreed, saying, "All celestial troops summoned by the Heavenly Court must obey the Heavenly Court's orders. I agree with Your Majesty's statement that it's best not to use the name 'Human Race Camp'."

Fire Spirit Immortal nodded and said, "That means that after discussion, given the current situation, the battalion requested by the Human Emperors can be built, but it cannot be named after 'human race' or similar names."

“Yes.” Thunder Ancestor Heavenly Venerable nodded and said, “They can recruit only human cultivators, but they cannot have obvious human characteristics.”

Fire Spirit Immortal nodded and said, "I understand."

Erlang Shen said, "Then can this discussion end here?"

The Fire Spirit Immortal asked the Great Savior of Suffering and the Thunder Ancestor, "Do Your Majesties have any further instructions?"

"No." The two emperors shook their heads, and then Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun said, "The two Dao Ancestors, Tianfeng and Tianlei, will be returning to the Wind and Thunder Realm tomorrow. We two still need to go back to the Great Luo Heaven to attend a farewell banquet, so we will take our leave now."

Upon hearing this, Huo Ling Zhenxian and Erlang Shen quickly stood up to see them off. The two emperors rose and rode on auspicious nine-colored clouds, flying out of the Mortal Realm Palace in an instant and heading straight to the Ninth Heaven.

After seeing off the two emperors, Huo Ling Zhenxian returned to the Qun Guang Hall of Huo Ling Palace with Erlang Shen and invited the Great Emperor of Xiyue and the various human emperors to come and discuss matters.

Inside the Hall of Radiant Light, after the emperors had paid their respects, they sat down on the sandalwood chairs on the right side of the hall.

Erlang Shen sat on the left, while Huo Ling Zhenxian occupied the main seat at the head of the table.

After all the emperors were seated, the Fire Spirit Immortal spoke up: "The matter raised by the Great Emperor of the Western Peak and all the emperors has been discussed and resolved by the Divine Firmament Jade Palace, the Divine Thunder Jade Palace, the Mortal Realm Jade Palace, and the Heavenly Pivot Capital Province."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Suiren of the Western Peak and all the emperors turned their gazes toward the Fire Spirit Immortal at the head of the table.

The Fire Spirit Immortal slowly said, "Judging from the current situation, it is necessary to add another battalion. This battalion can be commanded by the various Human Emperors, and the matter of recruiting soldiers can also be entrusted to the Human Emperor who commands this battalion. However, the name of this battalion should be changed, and it cannot be called a name like 'Human Race'."

Upon hearing this, the emperors exchanged glances and immediately understood the meaning behind the words of the Fire Spirit Manifestation.

Simply put, it means that these human emperors are not allowed to be treated specially, and their "human supremacy" ideology is not promoted.

However, since they have already obtained the core interests they demanded, they are no longer so concerned about the superficial aspects.

Therefore, Fuxi Zhenwang spoke first: "In that case, I think we can call it 'Human Emperor Camp,' what do you think of that name?"

"Human Emperor Camp? I think it's a good idea." Shennong Zhenwang said with a smile, "Just by hearing the name, you can tell it's led by the 'Human Emperor,' I agree." Subsequently, all the Human Emperors expressed their agreement with the name.

With a smile, Fire Spirit Immortal turned to Erlang Shen and asked, "Erlang Zhenjun, what do you think?"

Erlang Shen said with a smile, "Just as Shennong Zhenwang said, the name 'Human Emperor Camp' clearly indicates that it is led by the Human Emperor, which is quite different from 'Human Race Camp'. I think it's acceptable."

"Alright," said True Immortal Fire Spirit. "Then it's decided. We'll establish another 'Human Emperor Camp.' However, you all need to discuss and decide who will serve as the Grand Commandant, the Deputy General, and the Military Advisor." True Immortal Fire Spirit looked at the assembled emperors and said.

"We have already reached a conclusion on this matter," said Suirenshi, the Great Emperor of the Western Peak, with a smile. "The Grand Commandant of the Human Emperor Camp will be Zhuanxu Zhenwang, the Deputy Generals will be Di Ku Zhenwang and Di Yao Zhenwang, and Di Shun Zhenwang will serve as the Military Advisor of the Human Emperor Camp."

Erlang Shen laughed upon hearing this, "This configuration is quite impressive, a full-fledged First-Rank True King's battle camp."

Upon hearing this, True King Zhuanxu laughed and said, "So what? I will still be subject to the control of your Heavenly Pivot Capital."

Erlang Shen laughed heartily and said, "Not only will you be subject to the control of my Tian Shu Province, but when the Five Elements manifest in the world, there will be others who will control you."

At this moment, the Fire Spirit Immortal ordered Lu Lingmao to draft an edict, which was issued shortly afterward, establishing the 'Human Emperor Camp'.

He appointed Qianhuang Zhenwang Zhuanxu as Grand Commandant of the Emperor's Camp, Jieling Zhenwang Diku and Chunming Zhenwang Diyao as Deputy Generals of the Emperor's Camp, and Chongming Zhenwang Dishun as Consultant Military Advisor.

From then on, the fifth major battle camp of the Heavenly Court, the "Human Emperor Camp", was officially established. After its establishment, the Human Emperor Camp began to recruit human gods and generals from the appearance of Pangu.

Southern Continent, the residence of Marquis Ningxiang.

A series of screams were coming from the inner courtyard. The maids kept their heads down, none of them daring to look inside.

There were also the sounds of many women crying in the courtyard, as well as the crisp sound of ironwood sticks hitting people's flesh.

"Stop fighting!" A furious roar rang out in the courtyard, and the maids quickly made way for it. It turned out that Marquis Ningxiang, Jia Yan, had arrived.

As soon as Jia Yan arrived, the women inside immediately bowed to him.

Jia Yan stepped forward and snatched the ironwood stick from Jia Daishan's hand. Looking at Jia Jing, who was screaming in agony on the bench with blood streaming down his back, he said, "Are you going to beat him to death?"

"Father, please don't interfere. I must teach this unfilial son a lesson today," Jia Daishan said angrily.

Jia Yan angrily retorted, "Nonsense! He's not a criminal, why are you hitting him with this object?"

After saying this, Jia Yan threw the ironwood stick in his hand to the ground, and then asked Jia Daishan, "What exactly is the matter?"

Jia Daishan pointed at Jia Jing and said, "This unfilial son! I told him to take the exam to become a celestial official, but he insisted on becoming a Taoist!"

Jia Yan frowned and said, "Even if that's the reason, you can just explain it properly. Why resort to violence? Even if you have to, you shouldn't use something like this. It's a torture device for prisoners!"

“I want to make him understand the consequences,” Jia Daishan said.

Jia Yan was furious and raised his hand to slap Jia Daishan, but just as his hand was halfway up, a hurried voice came from outside: "My lord, my lord."

Upon hearing the voice, Jia Yan immediately recognized it as Jiao Da. He withdrew his hand, first having someone help Jia Jing back, and then admonished Jia Daishan, "We'll talk about it when I get back. Don't hit him again."

After saying that, Jia Yan turned around and walked out of the inner courtyard, and came to the front hall.

Jiao Da had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw Jia Yan arrive, he quickly stepped forward and reported, "My lord, people from Tian Shu have come."

"Huh?!" Jia Yan was immediately startled. "Tian Shu Province?"

"Yes," Jiao Da said. "The one who came was a general from Zhang Tianying, who was under the jurisdiction of Tian Shu Du Province. He said he was here to deliver an order."

Upon hearing this, Jia Yan's expression turned serious, and he said, "Please come in quickly."

"Yes," Jiao Da replied. Jia Yan immediately set out tea in the front hall to wait for them. At this time, Jia Yan's wife, Jia Daishan and his wife, and Jia Zhen all came to the front hall after being notified.

Not long after, everyone heard a rumbling sound coming from outside the front hall. The sound was somewhat like human footsteps, but much heavier. At this moment, Jiao Da came into the hall and reported to Jia Yan, "My lord, the person has arrived and is outside the hall."

Jia Yan quickly said, "Please come in."

"Yes." Jiao Da accepted the order and then turned and went outside the hall.

He quickly returned to the hall, and this time everyone saw a figure over ten feet tall stride heavily into the hall. He was wearing eight-treasure armor and had a seven-treasure sword hanging at his waist, walking into the hall with an imposing presence.

Jia Yan was stunned when he saw this scene; it really was a divine general who had arrived.

At this moment, the divine general entered the hall and bowed to Jia Yan, saying, "Wang Jian, the Colonel of Zhang Tianying, pays his respects to Marquis Ningxiang."

Jia Yan returned the greeting with a cupped hand, then pointed to the side and said, "Lieutenant Wang, please sit down. Someone, bring tea."

“No need.” Wang Jian raised his hand to stop them and said, “I am here to convey the decrees of the Tian Shu Province. I will not drink the tea. Please invite Marquis Ningxiang and your son Jia Daishan to come forward and receive the decrees.”

"This..." Jia Yan and his son Jia Daishan exchanged a glance, then quickly stepped down from the palace steps, bowed, and said, "Marquis Ningxiang, Jia Yan (Jia Daishan), listen to my command."

Wang Jian took out a golden talisman and decree, and said to the father and son: "Imperial decree of the Heavenly Pivot Province, ordering Marquis Ningxiang Jia Yan and his son Jia Daishan to immediately depart for the residence of the Imperial Grand Commandant of Buzhou Mountain to report. The deadline is ten days, and there must be no delay. The Grand Envoy of the Heavenly Pivot Province, the True Lord of the Wondrous Way of Qingyuan, the True King of Fuyou Zhaohui Rensheng, is hereby decreed!"

When the golden talisman was presented to Jia Yan and his son, both of them were stunned until Wang Jian reminded them, at which point they hurriedly bowed and accepted the decree.

Upon receiving the order, Jia Yan quickly asked, "May I ask, Commandant Wang, why did the Tian Shu Province issue an order for my father and me to report to Buzhou Mountain?"

Wang Jian laughed and said, "Of course, it's for the two of you. The Tian Shu Province has newly established the 'Human Emperor Camp' and is recruiting the Ten Directions Divine Generals who have appeared in the world as Pangu. You and your son are among those being recruited."

Jia Yan said, "But I am the Marquis of Ningxiang, appointed by the Southern Mountain Divine Palace, and I serve in the Southern Mountain Divine Palace."

Wang Jian placed his left hand on the Seven Treasures Blade, his gaze sharp as he looked at Jia Yan and said, "Are you going to disobey orders?"

Jia Yan was instantly intimidated by the murderous aura emanating from Wang Jian. A bead of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he said, "How dare I, this Marquis, disobey your command?"

"It's good that you dare not disobey orders." Wang Jian said, "The Heavenly Pivot Province is summoning the Ten Directions Divine Generals. Local Divine Palaces must not interfere and must release the people."

After saying that, Wang Jian's gaze fell on Jia Yan and his son again, and he said, "Remember, you have ten days to report to the Imperial Commandant's residence at Buzhou Mountain. If you fail to do so, you will be executed without pardon!"

After saying this, Wang Jian cupped his hands in farewell and then turned and left.

Jia Yan immediately said to Jiao Da, "Jiao Da, please see Commandant Wang out of the mansion for me."

Jiao Da bowed in agreement, then turned to see Wang Jian off, leaving only Jia Yan and his family in the hall.

At this moment, a group of women gathered around, their faces filled with deep worry. Old Madam Jia asked, "Once you've entered the war camp, does that mean you'll be fighting in the Five Elements Realm?"

"Is that even a question?" Jia Yan sighed. "All the battle camps have already gone to attack the Five Elements Manifestation World. The only battle camp left in the Pangu Manifestation World is Zhang Tian's camp, which just withdrew from the Wind and Thunder Manifestation World."

Upon hearing this, Madam Jia and the other women were immediately filled with worry. Jia Daishan's wife quickly asked, "Why must both father and son go? Can't one of them go?"

At this point, Lady Jia Daishan felt it was inappropriate and quickly said, "What I mean is, shouldn't the son go while the father stays at home?"

Jia Yan sighed and said, "The conscription decree has already been issued, so let's not talk about these things anymore."

Then Jia Yan said to Jia Daishan, "Pack your things properly, we'll set off for Buzhou Mountain in three days."

Jia Daishan bowed and said, "Yes, Father."

Then Jia Yan said to Madam Jia, "Madam, after Dai Shan and I leave, Jing'er will be in charge of the household. You must take good care of him."

Madam Jia, her face full of worry, nodded slightly and said, "Yes, sir, I understand."

Not long after, Jiao Da returned, entered the hall and saw Jia Yan, and bowed, saying, "My Lord."

Jia Yan turned around and asked, "Have they been seen off?"

Jiao Dadao: "They left, but only left the Ningxiang Marquis's residence, and then went to the Rongxiang Marquis's residence."

"What? He went to the Rongxiang Marquis's residence again?" Jia Yan frowned immediately upon hearing this.

Just then, a servant came from outside the hall to report: "My lord, the Second Master Lian of the Rongxiang Marquis's residence has arrived."

Jia Yan immediately said, "Bring him in."

"Yes." The servant replied and turned to leave. A short while later, a handsome young man strode in, bowed to Jia Yan, and said, "This great-grandson greets his great-grandfather."

Jia Yan said, "Get up."

"Thank you, great-grandfather." Jia Lian bowed and rose, then Jia Yan asked, "Did that Commandant Wang Jian go to the Marquis of Rongxiang's residence just now?"

Jia Lian said, "I was just about to report to my great-grandfather when Commandant Wang read out the decree of the Tian Shu Province, ordering my grandfather to report to the Imperial Grand Commandant's residence in Buzhou Mountain within ten days. Since my grandfather went to see Commandant Wang off, I sent my great-grandson to inform my great-grandfather."

Jia Yan asked, "Was it only Dai Hua who was conscripted?"

Jia Lian replied, "Yes."

Jia Yan said, "Go back and tell Dai Hua to come to me later."

Jia Lian bowed and said, "Yes, great-nephew, I remember." After saying that, Jia Lian took his leave.

Meanwhile, on a desolate plain in Huai Shuo Prefecture of Beiju Luzhou, herds of spirit horses were galloping at full speed.

A handsome and dashing young man was tending horses. He was a groom hired by the Ying Clan Spirit Horse Company, the largest spirit horse company in the Yanfu Great World.

He belonged to the Huai Shuo Prefecture branch of the Ying Clan's Spirit Horse Company. He usually herded horses on the wilderness and received a monthly salary of ten purple coins.

Although life was a bit tough, at least it was stable and worry-free, and the young man quite liked his current life.

He received a monthly salary of ten purple coins. He took five coins for his family's living expenses, used four of the other five for cultivation, and kept only one coin for himself. He could manage to get by.

Although the food and clothing were poor, I was still happy and joyful.

Just as the young man was enjoying the breeze and watching the magnificent scene of thousands of horses galloping across the vast wilderness, a voice came from afar: "He Liuhun, He Liuhun."

The boy stood up and looked up, only to see a similarly burly young man rushing towards him.

A smile immediately appeared on the young He Liuhun's face, and he reached out and called out, "Hulü Jin."

The young man, Huli Jin, rushed up to He Liuhun and said, "He Liuhun, this is great news, great news indeed!"

"Oh?" He Liuhun asked in surprise, "What great news?"

Huli Jin said, "A divine general from Tian Shu Province has come to our family to summon us to become divine generals in the Heavenly Army! We no longer need to herd horses to make money!"

He Liuhun was taken aback when he heard this, then smiled with envy and said, "Really? Then I must congratulate you."

Huli Jin reached out and patted He Liuhun on the shoulder, saying, "Why are you congratulating me? Didn't you hear me say 'we'? You also have a conscription order, it's been delivered to your house."

"What?" He Liuhun was startled. "They've summoned me too?"

“Of course, we can become god generals together. Come on, let’s go and resign from this job with the farm owner now.” Huli Jin said, taking out a conscription order and handing it over. “I’ve brought your conscription order for you.”

He Liuhun looked at the summons that was shining with spiritual light in his hand, his eyes filled with joy, but soon his brows furrowed with worry and he said, "But what will happen to our families if we go?"

"Hey." Huli Jin laughed loudly, "You don't need to worry about that. Our Lord of Huai Shuo Prefecture is merciful and has already sent people to deliver the resettlement allowance. Your family received a resettlement allowance of one hundred purple coins, which has already been delivered to your mother."

He Liuhun's eyes widened immediately. "One hundred purple coins? Are you serious?"

“Of course it’s true,” Hulijin said. “Come on, let’s quit our jobs first. You’ll know when you get home.”

So He Liuhun and Huli Jin went to the manager of the horse farm to resign from their jobs. When the manager saw the conscription order from Tian Shudu Province, he not only terminated their contracts without any hesitation, but also paid them their full wages.

When He Liuhun returned home, he saw his mother with a beaming smile. Upon seeing He Liuhun, his mother took out the 100 purple coins as a settlement fee.

He Liuhun was overjoyed and burst into tears. He immediately kowtowed and thanked the Huai Shuo Divine Palace from afar.

Over the next three days, He Liuhun used the thirty purple coins as a settlement allowance to purchase some properties for his mother and hire some servants so that she could live a life free from worries about food and clothing. He left the remaining seventy purple coins all to his mother.

Three days later, He Liuhun and Huli Jin boarded the "Feather True Immortal Ship" bound for Buzhou Mountain. On this Feather True Immortal Ship were other human cultivators who had been recruited from various places.

Among them was Hou Jing, who became acquainted with He Liuhun and Huli Jin.

Ten days later, all the divine generals summoned within the ten days in the entire Jambudvipa world arrived, totaling 46,000 people.

Four thousand of them are not in the Great World of Jambudvipa, but in the Lesser Worlds of the Ten Directions. They will be here for three months, so it will take them some more time to arrive.

However, after the initial 46,000 people arrived, the framework of the Human Emperor's Camp was fully established, and General Zhang Tianying conducted a series of training exercises for the Human Emperor's Camp to attack other Heavenly Dao forces. (End of Chapter)
