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

Chapter 232 The First Step in Establishing Power: Gaia!

Based on the memories of the Creator God, Donghua flew southeast, but he was not in a hurry. He flew and stopped along the way, experiencing the differences in this world and the lives of ordinary cultivators.

In fact, the potential of a world is not only determined by the top combat power, but also by the ordinary cultivators. Both are equally important.

This sounds unbelievable, since in a world where power belongs to oneself, strength is fundamental.

That's true, but it depends on which perspective you're looking at it from. For example, after Hongjun attained sainthood, he didn't spread his teachings to the world. Instead, he divided up the primordial world's fortune and took it for himself. In that case, the potential of the primordial world would be greatly reduced, and it would be hard to say whether there would even be a Hunyuan world in the future.

It was because Hongjun spread the Dao throughout the world that the prehistoric world was able to usher in its greatest development, greatly enhancing the strength of the lower and middle levels of the prehistoric world, which led to the current situation of many Golden Immortals and Taiyi in the prehistoric world.

Whether it's the Lich and Demon races or the Purple Mansion, their strength has far surpassed that of the three races during the Dragon-Han period; this is a comprehensive transcendence.

You must know that during the Longhan era, the Great Dao was high and the divine way prevailed throughout the world. It was the most glorious time. As long as you had a little bit of comprehension, you could understand something from the Great Dao.

With the retreat of the Great Dao and the emergence of the Heavenly Dao, the decline of the Divine Dao began. Many people were stuck at a certain realm for many years and could not break through, which gradually led to the saying that the Divine Dao was not suitable for cultivation.

In reality, Shinto is still Shinto, only it has become much more difficult to cultivate, requiring truly qualified and talented individuals to practice it.

In the Western world, the only cultivation system has always been the divine path. There are no other cultivation systems here, only the divine path system. And most importantly, traces of the Great Dao can still be seen here, which means that the Great Dao has not truly retreated from this world.

So this is the best of times!

Especially for Donghua, being able to directly comprehend the Great Dao when he is about to break through the Hunyuan barrier would allow him to quickly break through the three paths, unite the three paths of gods, immortals, and demons, and achieve the third level of Hunyuan. He does not seek to surpass Hongjun, but only to catch up with him.

After all, Hongjun had too many favorable timing and circumstances when he became a saint. It can be said that Hongjun alone possessed half of the fortune of the prehistoric world. If he had not later merged with the Dao and returned this fortune to the prehistoric world, there probably would not have been the prosperity of the prehistoric world afterward.

So in a sense, Hongjun was indeed a great man. No matter what his plans were or what his purpose was, his actions were convincing and he truly deserved the title of Dao Ancestor!

As Donghua traveled, he witnessed the prosperity of the world. He found that the lower-level cultivators of this world were very rigid and did not have the spirit of fighting against fate that the cultivators of the prehistoric era possessed. They silently accepted the exploitation and rule of the upper-level cultivators, as if everything should be this way. Class consciousness was deeply ingrained in their hearts.

This state shouldn't exist in cultivators. If it were an ordinary mortal, he could understand it, but they've already embarked on the path of cultivation, how can they still be like this?

"Perhaps this world truly needs a God, a God who will lead them to overthrow this class system, a God who will guide them towards self-improvement, and I am that God!"

At this moment, Donghua understood where he should start and how to establish his power in this world. His way out lay in these low-level cultivators. He wanted to establish a religion, a holy religion, and then preach its doctrines to awaken these people.

With the angels and the Holy Church at my disposal, I refuse to believe I can't become the new God-King.

Having thought this through, Donghua didn't linger any longer and headed straight for the Phoenix Clan. His first priority was to subdue this race and make them his loyal subordinates.

……

The land of Canaan is the homeland of the Western Phoenix Clan, their territory since the beginning of time.

The Phoenix is ​​a firebird that is engulfed in flames, resembling an eagle, with feathers that are half gold and half crimson. It possesses extremely strong fire manipulation abilities, is born with the power to control immortal fire, and is the darling of the Great Way of Fire.

However, their combat strength is relatively weak, but they possess the miraculous ability to be reborn from the ashes, which is similar to the phoenix in the primordial world.

However, their combat strength is incomparable to that of the Phoenix Clan; the difference is too great.

"Who goes there? How dare you trespass on my clan's territory?" Donghua concealed his presence and made his way to the center of the Phoenix Clan's territory, where he also disappeared.

Donghua said nonchalantly, "Go and call your clan leader out to speak!"

"Hmph, what kind of scoundrel is this, daring to make our clan leader come out to see you? You're courting death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he charged straight at them.

This action left Donghua somewhat incredulous. Were the people in this world really this reckless? They didn't even consider the opponent's cultivation level before daring to charge in like this?

Donghua waved his hand helplessly, sending the man flying, but without killing him; it was a simple lesson.

It would indeed be beneath him to make a move against someone who was only at the True Immortal level, and he had absolutely no interest in doing so.

"Looks like I can't keep a low profile today. In that case, I'll make a big splash!"

Donghua leaped into the air, revealing the strongest form of an angel. An angelic image appeared behind him, with nine wings and eighteen wings, illuminating the earth with the power of light, and a powerful pressure swept across the entire land of Canaan.

The Path of Light is also one of the Three Thousand Paths. After the Path of Pure Yang in the Eastern Flower was perfected, it was already mastered without a teacher, since these two paths have a high degree of similarity.

"Undying God-King, why don't you come out and see me!"

A voice came from Donghua's mouth, like the murmur of the Great Dao, devoid of any emotion, only boundless pressure, overwhelming all directions.

"Who dares to be so insolent in my territory!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two figures flew up and stood opposite Donghua, a man and a woman.

The woman's red hair gave her a gentle and refined appearance, yet also a wild beauty. She was the queen of the Phoenix Clan, also known as the Undying God King.

The man had golden hair, a burly build, and an aura of dominance. He possessed the cultivation of a Quasi-Saint in the early stages. He was the priest of the Phoenix Clan and the husband of the Undying God King.

"I am Jesus, the angelic supreme god. I have heard that the Phoenix Clan has defied the rule of the Divine Court and acted recklessly, even daring to kill my divine messengers. They truly do not know their own mortality! Today, I have come to subdue you!"

Donghua's voice was flat and unremarkable, yet full of provocation. As for the envoy, he naturally didn't exist; he had just made one up on the spot.

However, at this juncture, the Phoenix Clan will definitely acknowledge this matter, because it is a matter of face, so they have to accept it even if they don't want to.

After all, a cause must have a legitimate reason!

"You inexperienced brat! You dare to act so presumptuously in my clan with only the cultivation of an early-stage main god? Aren't you afraid of becoming a laughingstock? Today, not only will you, the envoy, be forced to stay here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the priest charged forward with his gun. With a flick of his wrist, he unleashed the flames of immortality, and the powerful divine force transformed into a phoenix that cried out as it soared upwards, attempting to devour Donghua.

Donghua didn't care at all. Although his cultivation level was only at the early stage of Quasi-Saint, his combat strength was probably stronger than even a late-stage Quasi-Saint cultivator.

With hands clasped together, the power of light converged, and the sacred aura, combined with the imperial way of Donghua, stood like a sun in the land of Canaan.

"I said, you are guilty!"

An ancient voice resounded, permeating the entire world, and all who heard it knelt down to worship Donghua.

The Phoenix Clan priest struggled to resist the invasion of the Great Dao, for the moment the sound rang out, Donghua's Imperial Dao, under the light, had already invaded his Great Dao, crushing it deeply, leaving him unable to muster even the slightest thought of resistance.

"not good!"

The Undying God King, who was watching from the sidelines, also noticed Donghua's strange behavior and instantly realized that her husband had fallen into a trap. This person could not be measured by his cultivation level at all.

It immediately transformed into its true form, the Phoenix, and soared into the sky. The powerful flames of immortality carried the divine power of the Great Dao, spreading across the heavens and hurtling towards Donghua.

Donghua sneered, "Disrespecting angels and disobeying God's commands, you deserve to die too!"

As the words fell, the powerful imperial power transformed into divine chains of rules, suppressing the Undying God King and extinguishing all his immortal flames. Then, it attempted to bind and capture him.

The Undying God King was shocked to see this. This Angel God was so powerful that he defeated the two of them in a single exchange, without even seeing their faces. Just who was this person?

But there was no time to think; the powerful chains of rules were about to fall.

With a flap of its wings, the Undying God King unleashed countless fire blades, each imbued with powerful divine energy.

The fire blade instantly shattered Donghua's chain of rules, thus neutralizing the attack.

The Immortal God King flew over and rescued her husband, helping him to deflect the attack from the Great Dao.

After regaining their senses, the two looked at Donghua with lingering fear and heavy expressions. This time they had truly encountered a formidable enemy. A simple probing attack had overwhelmed them. How were they going to proceed with the battle?

"Who exactly are you?"

Donghua spread his arms and calmly said, "I am the chief angel, who came to save humanity, eliminate sin, and judge the gods. You may call me God."

Although the words were spoken calmly, they sounded extremely arrogant to the two of them.

Who dares to say they will judge the gods? Even the King of Gods wouldn't dare to say that, since the gods were created by the Chaos God and the five creator gods. Each of them is a favorite of the world, and each god has an extremely profound background, closely connected with the creator gods.

"What you want to do is none of my clan's business. My clan loves peace and never participates in the struggles between different forces, so you are not welcome here. Please leave!"

The Undying God-King's expression was grave. A scepter appeared in her hand, and she channeled her divine power to its limit. She looked at Donghua warily, sensing that she had truly encountered a formidable opponent this time, an existence even more terrifying than the God-King.

"It is precisely because your race loves peace and commits few sins that I believe there is still hope for you, and that is why I am giving you this opportunity. As long as you follow me, I will grant you a new life. Are you willing?"

As Donghua spoke these words, he released a powerful divine light, instantly brainwashing countless Phoenix Clan members and turning them into his loyal followers.

This method is indeed not honorable, but Donghua doesn't care about that at all. To the Western world, he is an outsider, and sooner or later they will be mortal enemies. This is not something that can be avoided by any means.

So from the very beginning, he never intended to carefully manage this world; all he wanted was the power of destiny, and to incidentally, to annex this world.

Upon witnessing this scene, the Undying God King was furious. This person dared to convert his own people right in front of him, showing utter disregard for him.

Enraged, they launched a fierce attack. This time, both of them went all out. The couple cooperated closely, their divine powers flowing together. In an instant, their great powers merged, and two phoenixes that blotted out the sky rose into the air, standing tall in the heavens.

Then, the powerful Undying Divine Flame swept in, transforming into countless spear shadows that attacked Donghua.

"Angel God, do you think the God King isn't attacking us out of mercy? You're too naive. He's not attacking because he's afraid!"

Donghua smiled calmly. All he did was to provoke these two. How could they submit to him if he didn't truly frighten them?

Whether in past or present lives, these Westerners are all scoundrels. Before doing anything, all you need to do is beat them up, and they're guaranteed to get anything done.

Donghua spread his arms wide, and a bright golden giant sword appeared in his hands. It was then grasped by the angelic figure. This sword was called: Angelic Holy Sword!

This is a spirit sword that Donghua forged in imitation of the Heavenly Emperor Sword. It was made using innate purple energy and chaotic source energy. Because it was forged in chaos, it was born as an innate spiritual treasure.

This time, Donghua held nothing back, unleashing his full power: the Path of Light, the Path of Purification, the Path of the Emperor, and even the Path of Darkness formed from reincarnation.

The four great powers were combined and unified by the Emperor's Way. The angelic avatar left the body and instantly attacked the two. Its figure was huge and no weaker than the Phoenix's original body.

"The Sword of Judgment!"

A terrifying sword aura slashed out, tearing the sky and splitting the earth, its light illuminating the heavens. Wherever the divine power passed, it instantly turned the two people's immortal flames into nothingness.

The Undying God King and the priest were shocked. Was this the power that a god in the early stages of his cultivation could display?

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! The two of us combined are enough to fight a late-stage Main God. How could you, a mere early-stage Main God, possibly have such strength?"

Donghua scoffed, "How could ants know the vastness of heaven and earth? You are all sinful people, and under the judgment of my angelic holy sword, you will have nowhere to hide. Kneel down and submit, and I may spare your lives!"

After Donghua finished speaking, he launched another attack without waiting for the two to reply. Sword energies slashed out, leaving the two with no power to fight back. They could only defend passively, and soon their true bodies were covered with heavy wounds.

At this moment, the angelic form spread its nine wings, and the holy sword in its hand emitted endless radiance, its powerful imperial power shaking the heavens and the universe.

This battle finally attracted the attention of the major gods and supreme deities of the Western world.

"Who is this person? How could he possibly beat the Undying God King and the Priest to this state!"

"Such powerful laws of light, such domineering divine power of the Emperor's Way, actually suppressing the Phoenix Clan with the strength of a primary god in the early stage."

"..."

On Mount Olympus, a goddess opened her eyes and looked towards the land of Canaan, her gaze fixed on the battle between the three.

This person is known as Gaia, the Mother of the Earth and the Goddess of the Earth. She is also called the Mother of Gods and is the first creator god born into the world.

"Who is this person? I have no recollection of him?"

Gaia murmured something, then her eyes turned, and a powerful primordial energy began to circulate, instantly connecting with the entire Western world and beginning to calculate Donghua's past.

However, after Gaia did some calculations, he frowned and looked incredulous.

"How is it possible that this person was born at the very beginning of time, a god born in accordance with the Great Dao?"

This deduction completely shocked Gaia. The Western gods were all transformed from the Chaos God, created by the five supreme creator gods, and some were created by the Lord of Rules and the Lord of Destiny.

There are very few gods who are truly born from the Great Dao, and each one is incredibly powerful. How could she possibly be just an early-stage main god? However, as the Mother of the Earth and the Supreme God herself, the result she calculated could not be wrong.

"Jesus, angel, God, interesting. I'd like to meet you and see who you really are!"

After Gaia finished speaking, he got up and left Mount Olympus, heading towards the land of Canaan.

In fact, Donghua had already used the power of spacetime to connect with the Great Dao that existed in the Western world when he took on the form.

If a strange god suddenly appears, and you want to survive in the Western world while also evading the search of the creator god, then you can only rely on the Great Dao, otherwise it is impossible to escape.

The Great Dao of this world has not yet receded, which is why Donghua was able to exploit this loophole, making it impossible for the Supreme Gods to find any trace of him. They could only trace him back to the Great Dao itself, but they were still too inexperienced to uncover the truth within the Great Dao.

……

At this time in Canaan, Donghua was fighting two people so hard they couldn't catch their breath, and the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable for them.

After repelling one of Donghua's attacks, the Undying God King and the priest exchanged a glance and then attacked together.

The two Daos merged instantly. The Undying Divine Flame, combined with the Dao of Fire, caused the two figures to gradually merge together, transforming into a golden phoenix.

The phoenix roared to the sky, its boundless divine power piercing through heaven and earth, its aura clearly reaching the late stage of the main god realm.

"The Undying Divine Flame, incinerating heaven and earth!"

A voice rang out, and then terrifying divine power of the Great Dao transformed into Undying Divine Flame, while the power of the Great Dao's rules formed divine wheels, causing the heavens and earth to tremble wherever they passed.

Donghua recalled the angelic form, held the angelic holy sword in his hand, and murmured, "Interesting. It can actually be fused together. It seems it's not entirely useless."

The fusion of the Great Daos is nothing special. Just like when Donghua and Xiwangmu fought against Lu Ya, the Great Daos of the Sun and the Moon merged together, transforming into Yin-Yang power, instantly boosting their strength to the level of a late-stage Quasi-Saint.

But the two of them actually merged together, something Donghua had never heard of before. It was indeed a bit hard to believe, after all, humans and the Great Dao are different. Humans are spiritual beings with their own thoughts, so how could they really become exactly the same?

It's like an attack coming at you. People have different ideas, so they will make different choices. When masters clash, it's just a matter of a moment. Maybe the two people haven't even reached an agreement yet, and the opponent's attack has already arrived.

Therefore, it's not that people can't merge, but rather that merging doesn't increase their strength; on the contrary, it reduces their strength and becomes their biggest weakness.

Seeing the two attacks, Donghua immediately responded, his angelic form instantly merging into his body, achieving oneness with the Great Dao, and transforming into an angelic form.

"Angelic radiance!"

The powerful force of the Great Dao spread out, like a new sun rising, illuminating all the heavens, sacred and inviolable.

The divine power flowed from the angel's holy sword, and two sword beams, like a cross, simultaneously attacked the phoenix.

Wherever the divine light spread, the Undying Divine Flame seemed to have encountered its nemesis and was instantly shattered.

The two sword beams pressed forward relentlessly, shattering the Divine Wheel of Rules, which then dissipated into the power of the Great Dao throughout the world.

The sword light continued forward, the divine power of the Great Dao piercing through the sky and landing directly on the phoenix.

The divine bird cried mournfully, and divine blood was spilled across the sky.

How tragic!

The two were instantly shattered and fell to the ground.

The Undying God King stared at everything in disbelief. Their combined divine power had been broken just like that?

But before she could react, Donghua unleashed another sword strike, killing the priest instantly and shattering his path to enlightenment.

"You're so cruel, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Donghua had already attacked her.

The villain dies from talking too much; Donghua always remembered this saying.

Moreover, although he defeated two people in one move, that attack used all his strength, and the divine power in his body was being consumed rapidly, with little left. After all, he was only at the early stage of Quasi-Saint cultivation.

So there's not much left for him in this world!

Donghua unleashed a sword strike, intending to kill the Undying God King, but the king blocked it with his scepter.

"Another auspicious treasure!"

He instantly realized that the scepter was probably a top-tier spiritual treasure, and moreover, a treasure related to fortune.

"Just a last-ditch struggle!"

Donghua sheathed the Angelic Holy Sword, channeled the power of the Great Dao, and activated the nine wings on his back. Countless Dao Feather Swords slashed out, instantly breaking through the scepter's defense.

Then countless feather swords blasted the Undying God King into a sieve, shattering his physical body and destroying his Great Dao, thus ending his life completely.

However, Donghua set his sights on the place where the two died, waiting for their resurrection!

The Phoenix Clan is not particularly strong in combat, but they possess the ability to resurrect, so generally no one wants to provoke them.

Sure enough, not long after, a golden divine fire started burning where the two had died, and then it grew bigger and bigger.

The power of the Great Dao's rules gradually manifested, and two figures slowly emerged. With two long cries, two phoenixes were reborn from the flames.

"Angel God, we've always kept to ourselves, so why are you so determined to wipe us out? Our Phoenix Clan is small in number, but we are all immortal. We only wish to live peacefully in this world and have no desire to participate in any conflicts. You should leave!"

The Immortal God King spread his wings in the sky and spoke the words in his heart.

Donghua chuckled, said nothing, but once again summoned the Angelic Holy Sword, took out two golden apples and ate them, replenishing his divine power.

Then they attacked the two again!

Two sword beams slashed out, instantly sending the two away without any pain, because this time it was faster and more ruthless than the last!

But not long after, the two were resurrected!

Donghua remained silent, simply swinging his sword and slashing people repeatedly.

Although he did not know the true meaning of Nirvana, everything has its limits, and there is no one in this world who is truly immortal.

Even if it's Hunyuan, it won't work!

After dying five times, the two were resurrected and, before Donghua could even act, knelt down, trembling, and said, "My Lord God, we are willing to submit to you, obey your commands, and bask in the glory of the angels!"

Donghua spread his arms, and the angel wings emitted endless radiance, shining on the two of them, instantly branding them with Donghua's mark.

"Children who have strayed but have returned to the right path, your sins are not deep. After being bathed in the glory of the Lord, you will be cleansed of your sins under God's rule and shine brightly for the world once more!"

The two knelt reverently before Donghua and said, "We will accept the Lord's teachings!"

Donghua laughed heartily, "This time it's a success!"

What he didn't know was that Gaia, the creator god, was already on her way to Canaan.

……

P.S.: This world is coming to an end, and we're about to return to the primordial world. Please give me some monthly votes!
