Primordial Era: I really don't want to be the Heavenly Emperor!

Chapter 231 Donghua's Scheme

The Western world is currently in the reign of the second God-King, the second God-King among the Titans.

The first God-King was overthrown by his own son, so the second God-King's ascension to the throne was illegitimate. However, it must be said that he was indeed no ordinary person to be able to overthrow his own father and become God-King, as his cultivation level was already at the late Quasi-Saint stage.

Although he possessed both ability and talent, the first God-King uttered a curse on his deathbed, foretelling that the second God-King would also be overthrown by his own son.

The curse of a near-saint peak expert before his death was no simple matter. The God King had been unable to break this curse, but he could not live without his son.

Because his queen was the daughter of Gaia, the god of the earth, she was someone he could not afford to offend. It was also because of his queen that he gained the support of the people, killed his own father, and became the king of gods.

Therefore, he could only let his sons be born one by one. However, due to the existence of the curse, the God King was always troubled and could not truly break through to the peak of Quasi-Saint.

So he chose the most foolish method: to have a son, which he would then swallow into his own divine kingdom, allowing the child to grow up within his own divine kingdom and be under his control, in order to break the curse.

The King of the Gods had already devoured six sons—no, to be precise, five sons, because the sixth son, Zeus, had been switched and successfully sent out of the Titan race by his mother.

Therefore, the curse of the King of Gods was not broken, but was fermenting. And this curse was successfully fulfilled. In later generations, Zeus, together with his five other brothers, successfully overthrew the King of Gods and became the new King of Gods, the strongest King of Gods in history, and the King of Gods closest to the Primordial Chaos.

This is a Western myth recorded by later generations. Donghua doesn't know how much of it is true, but he thinks it's probably pretty close. As long as it's half true, his plan will succeed.

Donghua followed Nuwa all the way to the present-day Titan Divine Court.

Upon entering the Divine Court, the two released their primordial spirit power, sensing the strength of the most powerful force in this world.

"Senior Sister Nuwa, including you, there are a total of thirteen Quasi-Saints. This strength is not weak; it's even stronger than my Purple Mansion. You're not simple!"

The two communicated using their spiritual senses, and nothing could be seen on the surface.

"Not even close. These twelve Quasi-Saints, also known as the twelve Titans of the Titan race, are the core of the Divine Court. They are just a group of early Quasi-Saints. They are nothing special and cannot be compared to your Purple Mansion at all."

Nuwa spoke these words with considerable disdain, but such strength was indeed insignificant to a Hunyuan.

Moreover, Nuwa's words make sense. Although the Purple Mansion currently only has nine Quasi-Saints, namely the Nine Emperors of the Purple Mansion, Longbo is a late-stage Quasi-Saint, while Zhulong is a mid-stage Quasi-Saint.

In addition, there are Fuxi and west Wangmu, who are in the late stage of Quasi-Saint, not to mention Donghua, whose strength is comparable to Hunyuan. It can be said that any one of them could sweep through this Divine Court.

The two calculated the strength of the Divine Court and arrived at the Divine King's Palace.

"Greetings, Lord God!"

Nuwa gave a haughty "hmm" and said, "Go and inform the God-King that I, along with a friend, request an audience!"

A short while later, the messenger came out and said, "Reporting to the Lord God, the God King requests that you two come in."

Upon entering, the two saw the God-King of the Western World for the first time. His cultivation level was the same as they remembered, with no change.

"Greetings, God-King!"

The God-King Cronus looked at Donghua and Nuwa, his divine power surging, his divine kingdom appearing behind him. The scepter in his hand was a top-tier innate spiritual treasure, and also a treasure of great fortune. Donghua was quite envious of this spiritual treasure.

Donghua was carefully observing the God-King, while Nuwa beside him remained calm, as if she herself were the God of Creation.

At this moment, the God King was also observing Donghua, and a different kind of imperial divine power enveloped Donghua.

Donghua smiled and released his Great Dao power. In an instant, the divine power of light and the same divine power of the Emperor Dao rose up, and nine wings and eighteen wings sprouted from his back, and a holy angelic image appeared behind him.

The imperial decree, combined with the divine power of light, appears incredibly sacred, inspiring a sense of reverence and worship.

The God-King's heart trembled, a mixture of surprise and joy. He was surprised that Donghua also cultivated the Emperor's Path, but delighted that if such a main god joined the Titan Divine Court and obeyed his orders, the influence of his Divine Court would greatly increase.

But can such a person truly obey one's orders completely?

He became the God-King by killing his own father, which is considered an illegitimate way to the throne, so he always distrusts everyone.

"God of Creation, is this the person you want to recommend to join our divine court?" The God-King withdrew his oppressive aura and looked at Nuwa with a smile, wanting to know Donghua's background.

Nuwa spoke humbly and calmly: "Respectfully informing the God-King, this is a chief god who was born with me. However, he has always cultivated alone, roaming the world and wandering in the chaos. Now, due to issues such as cultivation resources, he has decided, at my urging, to join the Divine Court and serve the God-King."

Nuwa, who transformed into the God of Creation, was a direct subordinate of the God King. However, it's more accurate to say they were collaborators, as their cultivation levels were very similar. Although there was a distinction between ruler and subject, the hierarchy between them was never very clear.

After Nuwa finished her introduction, Donghua stepped forward and said, "Angel Jesus greets Your Majesty the God-King, may Your Majesty the God-King be blessed!"

Upon hearing Donghua's address, the God King was delighted and stood up, descending from his throne to stand beside Donghua.

"Angelic God, there's no need for such formalities. Since you are a friend of the Creator God, you are also my friend from now on. With the Angelic God's help, I will be even more powerful!"

Donghua smiled and said, "Your Majesty, at present, I only have the intention to join the Titan Divine Court, but I have not yet decided to join the Divine Court."

Upon hearing this, the God-King was not angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "What requests does the Lord God have? Please feel free to make them. I will do whatever I can to fulfill them."

He wasn't afraid of Donghua having many demands; he was afraid of Donghua having no demands at all, because if that were the case, it would only mean that this person had grand ambitions, and he would have to be careful.

"Your Majesty, if you wish me to join the Divine Court and serve you, you only need to grant me three requests."

The God-King said nonchalantly, "Tell me!"

"My first request is that I've heard that the Earth Goddess Gaia once gave Your Majesty some golden apples, and I want some."

"My second request is that I am cultivating the path of the emperor, but I have now reached a bottleneck and am unable to break through. Therefore, I would like to study Your Majesty's scepter to gain some insight into its workings."

"My third request is that, since I cultivate the path of the Emperor, I need a fiefdom to strengthen my power."

After Donghua finished stating his three requests, the God King fell into deep thought, seemingly unconcerned about the first and third requests.

Although Gaia's golden apple was precious, it was only good for satisfying his appetite and did not help improve his strength.

In fact, Gaia's golden apple is equivalent to a top-tier innate spiritual root in the primordial world. It won't be of much help in improving one's quasi-saint realm; at most, it will only increase one's divine power.

As for the third condition, granting land, that's naturally not a problem. Even if Donghua didn't mention it, he would still grant land and bestow it upon the divine army, so that's a minor issue.

The second problem is a bit difficult, because the scepter contains his own imperial path. If he lends it to Donghua to comprehend, it would be equivalent to exposing his own path to others, which makes him very uneasy.

The God-King said unwillingly, "Brother Jesus, could we change the second condition? I can grant any other requests you have!"

Donghua smiled after hearing this, but did not speak. He looked down on the things of the God King. After all, he was only a late-stage Quasi-Saint. What could he possibly have that would move him? The only things that were somewhat interesting were the Golden Apple and the Scepter.

The golden apple represents the most advanced spiritual root in the Western world, while the scepter is considered the most advanced treasure. The imperial divine power contained within it can be comprehended, and perhaps even lead to further understanding.

As for wanting territory, he wants to create the angel race, build his own Garden of Eden, and thus establish his own divine kingdom and the Western Heaven. As for Zeus, after he's used him, he can capture him and let the King of Gods eat him. His belonging should be the King of Gods' divine kingdom.

It would be a good opportunity to use Zeus to express his loyalty and establish his own power.

After seeing Donghua's attitude, the God-King knew that the scepter had to be lent out, otherwise he would not be able to subdue this angelic god.

The God-King looked at Donghua and Nuwa, and after thinking for a while, said in a deep voice, "I can lend you the scepter to study, but what can you do for me? Or rather, what can you bring me?"

Donghua bowed and said, "Your Majesty is fortunate to have gained a loyal subordinate, a subordinate who obeys only the God-King in the Divine Court, a subordinate of impeccable character who is unaffected by anyone, a subordinate who..."

Donghua unleashed a torrent of promises at the God King, painting one empty promise after another. He was already quite adept at making empty promises; after all, he had no idea how many he had made. The people of the Purple Mansion declared that they were already quite full.

Upon hearing this, the God-King said happily, "Very well, since Brother Jesus is so pleased, I am not a stingy person. I will lend you this scepter for ten thousand years of contemplation."

After the God-King finished speaking, he took out eighteen golden apples and said, "These are the golden apples that the Earth Mother Gaia gave me. Now there are only eighteen left, so I will give them all to you. You can use them to build up your power and win over some subordinates so that they can serve you."

Donghua accepted the golden apple without hesitation and said, "I don't need their service; their loyalty will only be to His Majesty the God-King."

Upon hearing this, the God-King laughed heartily and said, "I will also bestow upon you the land of Canaan in the southeast as your fiefdom. The Phoenix Clan lives there, which you can subdue and use for your own purposes."

Nuwa looked at the God-King in shock upon hearing this, because she knew from the memories of the Creator God that the Phoenix Clan had not submitted to the Titan God Court.

Of course, they are not an enemy of the Divine Court, but rather a neutral force. However, the Phoenix Clan is definitely not weak. It is said that their patriarch is already at the mid-stage of the Main God realm, which is equivalent to the mid-stage of the Quasi-Saint realm.

It seems this is the God King's test for Donghua: to defeat the Phoenix Clan!

After the God King finished speaking, he stared intently at Donghua, trying to discern something.

But to his disappointment, Donghua's face remained expressionless, as if he knew nothing about it.

"Your Majesty, the Divine King, I obey your command!"

Donghua didn't care about this. He could use the Phoenix Clan to establish his authority, gain a foothold in this world, and let the God-King see his strength and know that he was not someone to be trifled with.

"Good, this is exactly the kind of person with great courage I've been lacking. Now that Jesus' brother has joined us, our Titan Divine Court is destined to unify the entire world," the God-King said happily.

Nuwa was only slightly shocked, a reaction befitting her status; she wasn't actually worried at all. She then asked:

"I wonder why Your Majesty has summoned me here?"

The God-King glanced at Donghua, walked to his throne, and said in a deep voice, "I only recently learned that my sixth son is still in this world. He was switched by the Heavenly Empress, which makes me very uneasy. So I want you to make a trip to bring him back."

Upon hearing the God-King's words, Nuwa was neither shocked nor immediately agreed. Instead, she calmly asked, "Your Majesty, has the power of your curse not yet been removed? Is there any way to resolve it?"

The God-King slammed his fist on the table in anger and said, "That old bastard turned all his divine power into a curse before he died, imprinting it on my Great Dao. It's very difficult to remove and will take a long time, which is why I had no choice but to do this."

"As long as I remove this curse, break through to the peak of the main god, and achieve the position of the ruler, I will naturally release them and make compensation to them. How could I bear to really kill my own son?"

At this point, the God-King's expression turned slightly forlorn. Perhaps this was retribution. If he hadn't killed that old man and seized the God-King's throne to advance further in his imperial path, he wouldn't be facing such a terrible consequence today.

It is truly tragic that a family cannot reunite, and that one must even swallow one's own son into the divine kingdom within one's body, transforming him into one's own believer.

This incident also caused his relationship with the diva to deteriorate.

Nuwa frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, I wonder if you have gone to see the Earth Mother? With her abilities, removing the curse should be a piece of cake."

The God-King shook his head and said helplessly, "The Earth Mother won't get involved in this matter; she probably wishes I would abdicate!"

"How is this possible? Wasn't it her who supported your ascension to the throne?" Nuwa asked in shock.

"Things are not what they used to be. Now his mind is entirely elsewhere. I've heard that he has created two new races, the Cyclops and the Hundred-Handed Giants. I even suspect that my sixth son's escape was part of his scheme," the God-King said dejectedly, his face filled with anger.

Nuwa replied, "Your Majesty, the Divine Court cannot lose the support of the Creator God, otherwise it will be impossible for it to rule the world."

The God-King, his dejected expression replaced by a somber one, said, "Don't worry about that. She's not the only Creator God. I've already made contact with the Creator of the Gods, the God of Night. As long as we have the support of the Creator God, does it really matter who it is?"

Hearing this, Nuwa understood. The God King must have colluded with the Night God. It seems that the five creator gods are not of one mind and each has their own conflicts. At the very least, there is a conflict between Gaia and the Night God.

Since this contradiction exists, they are not of one mind, which is good news for them. If they can eliminate a creator god before the war between the two worlds, that would be wonderful.

Moreover, this provides them with favorable conditions for survival and development in the Western world, allowing them to obtain more benefits.

"Please, Your Majesty, set it aside; I will certainly bring it back!"

The God-King nodded and said, "Yes, I trust you to handle things. With the help of the two of you, our great cause will be accomplished sooner or later. Unifying the world is only a matter of time. Perhaps we can even hope to reach the realm of the Supreme God."

The Supreme God is what this world calls the Primordial Chaos Realm, and the Quasi-Saint is also known as the God Realm.

This is both a position and a state of being, just like the sages of the primordial world.

"Brother Jesus, after you have pacified Canaan and subdued the Phoenix Clan, I will summon the gods to bestow divine titles and allocate power upon you. What do you say?"

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. Jesus appreciates it. I will certainly drink this cup of wine to welcome you!" Donghua said calmly.

The God King laughed heartily and said, "Good, I like straightforward people like you, brother. I don't like others who are so hesitant and awkward, making people uncomfortable, and full of bad intentions."

Donghua chuckled a few times. He acknowledged the God King's authority; he did indeed possess a kingly aura. However, the God King himself hadn't transcended his own inner self, thus limiting his achievements.

From Donghua's current perspective, the God King has no curse at all; it is merely a shackle on his heart. He is still immersed in the curse, which, in the eyes of the prehistoric cultivators, is to fall into the trap of inner demons.

So it's not that Gaia didn't remove the curse for him, but that there was never a curse in the first place!

The first Titan King was indeed a ruthless man. He tricked his own son before he died, but we don't know what his purpose was.

After chatting for a while, Donghua and Nuwa got up and left.

……

"Junior Brother Donghua, what do you suggest we do to gain more control over this land?"

"This God-King is nothing more than a puppet of the Supreme God, possessing little real authority over heaven and earth. There seems to be no point in us submitting to him!"

After the two left the main hall, they began to communicate telepathically.

"Senior Sister Nuwa, this matter cannot be rushed. However, the power of heaven and earth in this world is indeed in the hands of the Supreme God. The God King is just a puppet."

"Perhaps it's not just this world; the future primordial world will probably be like this too. Could the primordial sages really allow the Heavenly Emperor to control the power of heaven and earth, thereby shaking their position?"

Nuwa looked at Donghua with great curiosity and slowly said, "I didn't expect my junior brother to have such understanding. It seems that you have indeed grown a lot and are not as naive as you were when you were at the Undying Volcano."

"In fact, the sage himself is in opposition to the Heavenly Emperor. It's either the East Wind prevails over the West Wind, or the West Wind prevails over the East Wind. It's difficult for the two to coexist."

"Fortunately, the Heavenly Emperor of the Primordial World will be Junior Brother Donghua, and with me added in, the two of us can overwhelm everyone else. So what if the Three Pure Ones and the two Western Saints become saints?"

"As long as the two of us support and help each other, we will surely be able to seize the greatest power in the world, thereby gaining more fortune and the power of Heaven!"

Donghua smiled and said, "That's why I sought an alliance with my senior sister back then. If the two of us didn't form an alliance, we would be defeated one by one by the Three Pure Ones and the Western Sect. After all, this is a battle for the Great Dao, and there is never any room for mercy."

Nuwa nodded. Although she had agreed to Donghua's alliance, she hadn't taken it seriously at the time. However, after becoming a saint, she gradually realized that her greatest enemy had always been the Three Pure Ones.

It was only a matter of time before the Three Pure Ones became saints. Unless Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao were unwilling, no one could stop them from becoming saints, but such a situation was highly unlikely.

Once the Three Pure Ones attain sainthood, they alone would be no match for the three who possess supreme treasures, and would have no choice but to seek allies.

However, the two Western allies are not the best allies, or perhaps they will become their rivals.

Therefore, only the future Heavenly Emperor Donghua is her best ally.

Once Donghua attains the Primordial Dao, his strength, even if not the strongest among all the saints, will definitely be among the top. If the two of them join forces, they will fear no one.

"I only just realized what my junior brother was planning, and I am extremely ashamed. I will definitely make it up to you in the future. As long as we help each other, the prehistoric world will eventually be ours."

"When that time comes, and we manage to control this world, then we truly have a chance to reach the Great Dao Realm!"

As she spoke, Nuwa's eyes gleamed, her immense ambition making no attempt to conceal it.

Donghua smiled but didn't say anything more. His alliance with Nuwa was inevitable, and there was no way to avoid it.

Whether he seeks out Nuwa or Nuwa seeks out him, no one will refuse. If they can't even see this, then it's better not to form this alliance!

"Let's not talk about the primordial era anymore. We can't mention it again in this world, not even through telepathy. We haven't witnessed the methods of those supreme gods, but we're afraid they might have some special means to monitor us. If they become suspicious, all our efforts will be in vain!"

Nuwa nodded slowly, agreeing with these words, just like the sages of the primordial world, who were almost omniscient and omnipotent.

"Alright, then we shall part ways here. I will go to find the sixth son of the God-King, and you will go to the Phoenix Clan. Let's work together to gain more power over the world as soon as possible."

After they finished speaking, they went their separate ways. Donghua did not tell Nuwa about Zeus's whereabouts; it was all up to fate.

Because Zeus is still useful, he wants to use Zeus to gather the twelve Olympian gods of the future, and then usurp the throne, selling Zeus to the King of the Gods, and then taking over everything as the angel god and God, so that he can become the third generation of the King of the Gods more quickly.

After leaving the Titan Temple, Donghua headed east towards Canaan, the homeland of the Phoenix Clan, intending to build it into his own Garden of Eden.
