Eat, eat, eat in the primordial world

The powerful beings of the primordial world were not lacking in wisdom, for fools cannot become powerful. What they lacked was a clear way of thinking; once they had a clear way of thinking, they could immediately understand many things and quickly apply what they learned to other situations.

Jiang Yuan's plan was just like that, not particularly brilliant. The reason why Xi Huang hadn't thought of it before was because he hadn't paid attention to the changes in the human race, thus lacking crucial information.

Now that he had glanced at the human race and learned the missing information, he naturally understood Jiang Yuan's entire plan immediately.

Even so, he was still amazed by Jiang Yuan's wisdom.

Such a layout would be normal for a powerful figure like him, but it's quite intriguing that it came from the hands of a celestial being like Jiang Yuan.

This is enough to prove that Jiang Yuan is no less intelligent than them.

Even before reaching the Celestial Immortal level, their wisdom was already comparable to that of these top-tier powerhouses of the Primordial World, and their potential was unimaginable, making them among the top in the Primordial World.

Xi Huang now understood why Nuwa had taken Jiang Yuan as her disciple; it was indeed difficult to refuse such an outstanding junior.

"Your plan is good, at least in my opinion. And with me protecting you, it's enough for you to cultivate to the Quasi-Saint realm."

"As for what happens next, that depends on Di Jun's magnanimity. But I estimate that he probably won't be able to tolerate you and will gradually marginalize you."

After thinking for a moment, Xi Huang said.

Although Di Jun is tolerant, this is on the condition that no one threatens him. Once someone is threatened, his attitude will immediately change, and he will begin to suppress them with all his might.

Before Jiang Yuan becomes a Quasi-Saint, he will not pose a threat to Di Jun. Therefore, as long as his plans are beneficial to the development of the Heavenly Court, Di Jun will support them.

However, as he cultivated to the level of a quasi-saint, he began to pose a threat to Di Jun. At this point, given Di Jun's personality, it was inevitable that he would marginalize him.

But that's all for many years to come. There's no need to worry about it now. Let's focus on the immediate benefits first.

"I'll be satisfied if I can cultivate to become a Quasi-Saint. At that time, I will leave the Heavenly Court and return to the human race on my own, without the Heavenly Emperor having to marginalize me."

Jiang Yuan smiled. Compared to Xi Huang's optimism, he was pessimistic about his future in the Heavenly Court.

The reason is simple: the calamity of the demon race slaughtering humans is inevitable. And with the outbreak of this calamity, no matter how well he has developed in the Heavenly Court, he will inevitably turn against them and face them to the death.

Therefore, no matter how much trouble he causes in the Heavenly Court, he probably won't grow to the point of threatening Di Jun. Because before that, he will turn against Di Jun.

Jiang Yuan came with this in mind, so his attitude towards the Heavenly Court is quite predictable.

He's a complete idiot for helping the Heavenly Court develop; he doesn't care about the Heavenly Court's well-being at all. He only wants to gain as much benefit as possible for himself and the human race before turning against them.

"It's good that you think this way, that's the most valuable thing a person can do. Di Jun is already unfathomable, and he also has the even stronger Dong Huang assisting him. Unless the two brothers turn against each other, whoever stays in the Heavenly Court to compete with him for the throne is courting death."

Seeing Jiang Yuan's thoughts, Xi Huang nodded in satisfaction. It would be impossible for him not to have any ambition for the Heavenly Emperor's throne. However, after carefully weighing the pros and cons, he gave up.

There's only one reason: the Chaos Bell is too powerful. It's true that the brothers Di Jun and Tai Yi are very strong, but the siblings Fu Xi and Nuwa are no weaklings either. If they were to actually fight, it's still uncertain who would be stronger.

The problem is that Donghuang possesses the Chaos Bell, a supreme treasure from the creation of the world. This is one of the top three treasures in the primordial world. With this in hand, even the combined strength of Fuxi and Nuwa would not be a match for Taiyi.

That's why Xi Huang made Nuwa leave the Heavenly Court. Since they couldn't win, there was no need to put all their eggs in one basket, lest they both perish later.

Even if Xi Huang and Nuwa combined couldn't win the competition back then, they certainly wouldn't be able to now if Xi Huang and Di Yuan combined. Therefore, Xi Huang was quite pleased to see that Jiang Yuan had no intention of vying for the throne.

The real danger is that young people are too arrogant and think that by establishing their own power base in Heaven, they can compete with Emperor Jun for the throne. That would be disastrous.

Even the sage Di Jun is not afraid, let alone the sage's disciple. If pushed too far, he will kill without hesitation.

"Those who rise to power through the Heavenly Court can never defeat the Heavenly Emperor, and I know this principle."

After guessing what Xi Huang was worried about, Jiang Yuan said with a smile.

He actually had a deeper plan, but he was worried that Emperor Xi would be angry if he revealed it, so he didn't say anything.

It's true that those who rise to power through the Heavenly Court can never defeat Di Jun. Because Di Jun is the ruler of the Heavenly Court, he gets a share of all the benefits related to it.

In this situation, someone who rises to power solely through the Heavenly Court is naturally no match for Di Jun. But if there are other advantages outside the Heavenly Court, then things are different.

Jiang Yuan's ambitions were far greater than those of Xi Huang. He not only wanted to implement his plans in the Heavenly Court, but also in the Witch Clan.

In this way, he can reap two benefits. And the combined effect of these two benefits on Jiang Yuan will definitely be greater than the sum of its parts. As a result, his rapid rise to power will surely surprise everyone.

Surpassing Di Jun is not impossible.

Jiang Yuan still needs to think carefully about how to implement his plan within the Wu tribe.

…………

After explaining his plans for Jiang Yuan's future, Xi Huang gave him an order and then sent him away.

This is the decree of Emperor Xi. Holding this decree, one can freely command the Azure Heaven Demon Clan. Even the Flame Heaven Demon Clan will obey this decree.

After the goddess Nuwa left the demon race, Yantian was said to be without a leader, but in reality, all the demons within it followed the lead of Xi Huang. Xi Huang thus became the de facto ruler of both Yantian and Cangtian.

No wonder Di Jun was wary of him; his power was indeed considerable.

Xi Huang handed the warrant to Jiang Yuan, instructing him to select personnel within two days to build his own team and then begin preparations for drawing the Nine Heavens Map and compiling the Nine Heavens Spirit Herbs Illustrated Compendium.

The sooner this matter is completed, the better, because only by completing this matter can Jiang Yuan gain a certain amount of power, and then he can proceed with the rest of the plan.

As if writing a history of the primordial era!

Without making some contributions, how could Jiang Yuan ask Di Jun for this job?

……

The Azure Sky Demon Clan are mostly composed of plants and trees, but their outward appearance is not that of plants and trees, but rather of green oxen, green sheep, little people, children, and so on.

When plants and trees become spirits, they do not first take on human form, but rather the form of cattle or sheep. The lowest form is the blue sheep, the middle form is the blue ox, and the highest form is the dragon, but this is extremely rare.

When the flowers become spirits, they take on human form, but are only the size of a thumb and all have wings, making them fairies among flowers.

The magical herbs and plants have become spirits, some as young boys and girls, others as old men and women.

Although they all look different, without exception, as outliers among outliers, they find it most difficult to transform into human form.

However, once they take human form, their talents are all exceptionally good, with innate true spirits everywhere and innate gods and demons not uncommon.
