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

Chapter 274 Zhunti Confronts Yuanshi

The sounds from the chaos resounded through the heavens, and vast worlds formed, with the power of the Five Saints overwhelming the primordial chaos.

The surrounding Grand Luo and Quasi-Saint level experts were all shocked. At this moment, they clearly understood one sentence:

"Under the primordial chaos, all are but ants!"

"Below the sage, all are but ants!"

The strength of the Primordial Saint was far beyond what these Quasi-Saints could handle, and the Five Saints Opening Heaven also intimidated these Great Luo Quasi-Saints, making everyone realize that the times had changed.

This era is no longer one where these quasi-saints can lord it over others; a new heaven has been established above them, a heaven called the Primordial Saint.

"I, Styx, will surely attain enlightenment!"

A glint of light flashed in Styx's crimson eyes. The power of the Primordial Saint did not make him despair; instead, it aroused his pursuit of power.

The eyes of Zhen Yuanzi, Hongyun, Fuxi, west Wangmu, Houtu, Xuanming, Kunpeng, Bai Ze, Changxi, and many other quasi-saints also gleamed.

Especially Houtu and Xuanming. Ever since the Wu tribe was defeated and retreated to Youming, Xuanming's heart has become completely silent. All ten of his brothers have died, and Dijiang, Jumang, and Tianwu will never be able to return.

Zhu Rong and Gong Gong are burdened with enormous karmic debts, making it virtually impossible for them to return from the Great Dao unless their karma can be washed away. Otherwise, the Heavenly Dao will absolutely not allow them to return.

The remaining Ancestral Witches may return again, but it is unknown when. After all, it is really difficult to completely kill a person once one has cultivated to the Quasi-Saint realm, let alone an Ancestral Witch who is born to control the rules of the Great Dao.

Today, when Houtu and Xuanming learned of the Primordial Saint's strength, they realized that the Wu Clan's ambition to dominate the prehistoric world was just a dream.

Even without Donghua, once the Six Sages return to their positions, they will not allow the Wu Clan to dominate the prehistoric world, because the Wu Clan will never submit to or worship the Six Sages, and the Six Sages cannot obtain any fortune from the Wu Clan.

Xuanming gave a bitter smile, glancing at the composed Donghua not far away, and sighed inwardly, "Perhaps only he can contend with the Six Sages!"

Xuanming didn't linger and left Chaos directly for the Netherworld. There were still many things waiting for her to do there. The Witch Clan was in dire need of rebuilding, especially in terms of morale and the hearts of its people, which was at a low point. She was afraid that the Witch Clan would continue to decline.

If that's the case, how can she face her deceased brothers? She will become a sinner of the witch clan.

Donghua watched Xuanming leave without saying anything, lost in thought.

When Xuanming was sizing him up just now, he had already noticed that at his level, let alone staring at him directly, even if someone silently recited his name in their mind, Xuanming could probably know it.

Nuwa appeared beside Donghua at some point and said in a deep voice, "Junior brother, with the Five Sages opening the heavens, are you feeling any pressure?"

Donghua snapped out of his thoughts and joked, "Shouldn't it be Senior Sister who's anxious and under pressure right now? I'm not at all!"

Nuwa frowned slightly. Donghua's words made sense. The upcoming struggle for humanity would be their first confrontation with the Three Pure Ones and others. This was indeed a bit of a worry and a source of pressure for her, who had created the human race and wanted Fuxi to become the human emperor.

"Junior brother, don't forget, we're in this together now. Without me, you can't possibly deal with the Three Pure Ones by yourself. Don't kick me when I'm down!"

Donghua smiled. He hadn't expected that Nuwa, who was always calm and collected, would be so unsteady this time. It seemed that the human race and Fuxi were indeed her weaknesses.

To be precise, it should be Fuxi!

"Don't worry, you're anxious, but the other five are even more anxious. We can't make the first move. Let's wait for an opportunity. When the time comes, we'll have a fight, figure things out, and they'll all behave themselves. Otherwise, no one will submit to anyone else!"

Donghua was quite open-minded about this. He and Nuwa had the upper hand, and if they still couldn't deal with the Three Pure Ones, then they were truly no match for them.

Donghua turned around and looked at Nuwa, about to say something, when he suddenly realized that Nuwa's cultivation had also broken through to the third level, but he didn't know when she had broken through.

"What's wrong? Are you allowed to improve your cultivation, but I'm not?"

Donghua laughed and said, "No, I was just so impressed by Senior Sister's talent that I didn't know what to say for a moment."

Breaking through each level of the Hunyuan realm is no less difficult than breaking through from the Great Luo realm to the Quasi-Saint realm. Yet, it's hard to believe how long it took Nuwa to break through from the first level to the current third level.

"Senior sister, would you be interested in being my neighbor?"

Nuwa nodded and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Donghua smiled and said, "I would like to ask Senior Sister to move Tai Su Heaven out of the chaos and incorporate it into my Heavenly Realm, making it equal to Da Luo Heaven and located in the east. What do you think, Senior Sister?"

Nuwa thought for a moment, then suddenly understood what Donghua meant. A slight smile played on her lips as she parted them and said, "Great! I couldn't be happier to be neighbors with you, Junior Brother. You must visit me often, Junior Brother. Nuwa Palace is too deserted; I'm so lonely all by myself!"

Teasing, blatant teasing!

However, Donghua was helpless, as both he and Nuwa were well aware of their relationship.

Nuwa had only the Great Dao in her heart, nothing else. If it came to the Great Dao, even Fuxi could be abandoned, let alone Donghua. The relationship between the two could only be a simple cooperation, and neither could fall in love with the other.

This doesn't mean Nuwa was wrong; it's just her personality—she only had the Great Dao in her heart.

In her eyes, dual cultivation is dual cultivation, a form of spiritual practice, not romantic love!

That's why Nuwa was so unscrupulous!

At this time, the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin and Zhunti completed their creation of heaven and earth and arrived at Donghua.

"Congratulations to the three senior brothers on successfully creating the Heavenly Realm!"

"Congratulations to Junior Brothers Jieyin and Zhunti on successfully opening the heavens!"

After exchanging pleasantries, Nuwa said, "Now that the Heavenly Emperor has ascended to the heavens and the Six Sages have returned to their positions, I wish to move the Tai Su Heaven away from Chaos and integrate it into the Heavenly Realm. This would strengthen the foundation of the Primordial World and allow it to be better protected. What is the Great Heavenly Venerable's opinion?"

Donghua immediately responded, expressing a warm welcome, and then, as previously agreed, arranged Taisutian to the east of Daluotian, making them equal, but also implying that it was to protect Daluotian.

Seeing that the two of them were working together so well and had made the decision in the blink of an eye, Sanqing and Jieyin Zhunti wished they could go up and slap them.

That's absolutely disgusting!

The sage Nuwa moved the Tai Su Heaven to the Heavenly Realm for the sake of the primordial world, so what are these people supposed to do? Are they supposed to stay in the Chaos Realm?

Taishang shook his head. This was his own plan, but he never expected that he would end up shooting himself in the foot. Now he was stuck, unable to move forward or backward, and could only do as Nuwa had said and guide the world to the celestial realm.

"Since Junior Sister Nuwa is so righteous, how can we, the humble Taoists, lag behind!"

After Taishang finished speaking, he pointed a finger and directly pulled the Great Crimson Heaven from the chaos into the primordial world. Then, the Taiji Diagram appeared in the sky, and a golden bridge emerged, spanning between the Heavenly Realm and the Great Crimson Heaven, perfectly merging the two.

The Great Crimson Heaven is located in the southern part of the Great Luo Heaven!

Yuanshi did not hesitate and led Qingwei Heaven to the west of Daluo Heaven.

Tongtian pulled Yuyutian to the north of Daluotian.

Thus, the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa's four heavens are located in the four directions of the Great Luo Heaven, on par with the Great Luo Heaven, but at the same time forming a protective formation.

Although this is a small matter, everything starts from small things. For the position of Heavenly Emperor to surpass the Six Saints, it is not only necessary to surpass them in strength, but also in terms of law, principles, and the hearts of the people.

Only then did the Heavenly Emperor truly deserve to command the Six Sages!

Donghua laughed and said, "Thank you for your support, senior brothers and sisters. I am deeply honored. I have prepared a small feast in Daluo Heaven, and I hope you will all do me the honor of attending!"

The Three Pure Ones didn't say anything more. Only Taishang nodded slightly, followed by Jieyin and Zhunti, who also nodded in agreement and expressed their gratitude.

As for the remaining Grand Luo and Quasi-Saint levels, they dared not disobey and were actually quite pleased.

Although this is a simple gathering, Donghua and Liusheng will definitely preach at the meeting.

This would greatly benefit their cultivation, so how could they possibly be unwilling?

……

Inside the Great Luo Heaven Palace, Donghua and the Six Sages occupied high positions, followed by west Wangmu, Fuxi, Zhen Yuanzi, Hongyun, Minghe, Kunpeng, and others.

Inside the main hall, the lowest level of cultivation was Daluo, making it a gathering place for ninety percent of the experts from the primordial world.

The banquet began, and after Donghua's rousing speech, it reached its climax with spiritual tea, spiritual wine, and spiritual fruit laid out on the table.

A group of fairies danced gracefully in the main hall, their sleeves fluttering.

At this moment, everyone let down their guard and immersed themselves in the entertainment.

Even those who are usually enemies dare not glare at each other at this moment, and treat each other as strangers, otherwise they would not even know how they died.

Donghua and Liusheng chatted briefly, with very little conversation among them.

Yuanshi Tianzun suddenly asked, "Junior Brother Donghua, what are your thoughts on the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race?"

After they became saints, they discovered from the Heavenly Dao that Donghua and Nuwa had already determined the general trend of humanity, or rather, the general trend of the human race.

Although the group was angry, there was nothing they could do. It was an unchangeable situation unless the three of them joined forces with Jieyin and Zhunti to alter the course of Heaven.

Otherwise, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors would have been a predetermined number.

However, establishing a trend is easy, but changing it is really difficult, since the previous trend has already been recognized by the Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, they can only obtain more benefits based on the foundation laid by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

Donghua said, "The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors represent the unchangeable trend of Heaven!"

Yuanshi asked again, "Who can be the human emperor?"

"The three senior brothers entered the sect earlier than Donghua. What are your thoughts on this matter?"

Yuanshi glanced at the others beside him. Jieyin and Zhunti remained calm and composed, as if they didn't care about the matter at all, and that was indeed the case.

Jieyin and Zhunti were very self-aware, knowing that neither Donghua and Nuwa nor the Three Pure Ones would allow them to interfere in matters concerning the Three Sovereigns.

They might as well give up and watch the three emperors contend for power, and then focus their energy on the five emperors.

Even if Donghua, Nuwa, and the Three Pure Ones are extremely domineering, they can't possibly bypass these two and eat alone; otherwise, they shouldn't blame them for turning against them.

It would be quite easy for two saints to prevent something from happening.

Yuanshi then said, "Junior Brother Donghua, Fellow Daoist Hongyun has shown you great kindness and karmic connection. Moreover, Fellow Daoist Hongyun resides in the Fire Cloud Cave, the place with the most concentrated aura of human emperors. He is favored by the Heavenly Dao and could become a human emperor. What do you think, Junior Brother?"

Donghua quickly said, "Oh dear, I never expected that Senior Brother Yuanshi would be so considerate of me. I am truly moved. On behalf of Fellow Daoist Hongyun, I would like to thank Senior Brother Sanqing for his support."

After Donghua finished speaking, he picked up the wine in front of him and drank it all in one gulp!

Yuanshi laughed heartily and said, "We're all fellow disciples, if I don't help you, who will!"

"Since Junior Brother Donghua agrees, let Fellow Daoist Hongyun reincarnate as soon as possible and become the first Human Emperor!"

The true intentions of the Three Pure Ones were revealed at this moment.

Nuwa had already told Taishang about the first human emperor's ability to attain the Primordial Chaos realm, but the three of them remained silent at this time, precisely to create a rift in the alliance between Donghua and Nuwa.

And it's an irreconcilable gap!

This move can be described as killing two birds with one stone. It can sow discord between Donghua and Nuwa, and also cause the Heavenly Court to lose Fuxi, one of the Six Emperors. The intention is extremely malicious.

Donghua smiled and said, "There's no rush. Aren't there two more Human Emperors yet? How about we settle it here today?"

The Three Pure Ones: "Excellent!"

Jieyin and Zhunti: "Excellent!"

Nuwa: "Good!"

Seeing that the others agreed, Donghua said directly, "I propose one person: Fellow Daoist Fuxi is suitable to be the Human Emperor. What are your opinions?"

Hearing Donghua say this, Yuanshi sneered inwardly, "Donghua, Donghua, let's see who you choose to prove yourself as a Primordial Being. When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. In the end, I will ensure that not a single Primordial Being will be born among the human race. The destiny of humanity will be in our hands!"

The Supreme Being said, "Fellow Daoist Fuxi can become the Human Emperor!"

After saying that, he looked at Nuwa beside him, his meaning clear: I have done what you asked, and the cause and effect between us is now settled.

Jieyin and Zhunti didn't say anything at all!

Nuwa said, "Agreed!"

The matter of Fuxi becoming the Human Emperor was thus settled.

Next up is the last emperor.

Donghua glanced at the people present and slowly said, "Fellow Daoist Hongyun was proposed by Senior Brother Yuanshi, and Fellow Daoist Fuxi was proposed by me. How about we have Junior Brother Jieyin and Junior Brother Zhunti propose the last Human Emperor?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa changed instantly, and even Lianyin and Zhunti looked at Donghua in disbelief.

What is a surprise?

This is a pleasant surprise!

What is an ally?

This is what allies are allies!

At this moment, Jieyin and Zhunti exclaimed that Donghua was kind and generous. This alliance was not formed in vain. They had already given up on the struggle for the Three Sovereigns, but now Donghua brought it up again, drawing them back into the game and giving them another chance.

Nuwa looked at Donghua, carefully considering the meaning of his actions. When she saw the expressions on the faces of the Three Pure Ones, she instantly understood.

He then said, "Junior Brother Donghua is right. Senior Brother Sanqing has proposed one person, Junior Brother Donghua has proposed one person, and Fuxi is my elder brother, so I will not propose him. The last Human Emperor should indeed be proposed by Junior Brothers Jieyin and Zhunti."

Upon hearing Nuwa's words, Zhunti immediately replied, "In that case, thank you very much for your guidance, Senior Brother and Senior Sister. We are willing to make a contribution to the development of humanity in the prehistoric world!"

4v3!!

The situation became clear in an instant!

Donghua smiled as he watched the scene. When internal conflicts cannot be resolved, external forces must be introduced, and Jieyin and Zhunti are indeed suitable to take action at this time.

Faced with this situation, Yuanshi angrily said, "This is an Eastern matter, what does it have to do with our two Western fellow Daoists? Let us decide who will be the last Human Emperor!"

It would have been better if Yuanshi hadn't said those words; as soon as he did, Zhunti immediately flew into a rage.

He then said with grief and indignation, "What do you mean by that, Senior Brother Yuanshi? Are you trying to divide the primordial world? Isn't the West part of the primordial world? Isn't the West within the scope of humanity?"

As Zhunti spoke, he became increasingly agitated, pouring out all his grievances. Finally, he angrily declared, "Yuanshi, this isn't over between us!"

"Let's go to Zixiao Palace and ask our master if the Western Continent is truly part of the primordial world, and whether our Western region is within the realm of humanity!"

After Zhunti finished speaking, he was about to get up and pull Yuanshi towards Zixiao Palace, but was glared at by Taishang on the other side.

At a glance, Zhunti instantly felt a chill run through his body, and even the circulation of his Great Dao paused slightly.

"Good, good, good!"

Just then, Jieyin suddenly spoke, his voice booming like the Great Dao, instantly rescuing Zhunti.

But at this moment, a cold sweat involuntarily broke out on Zhunti's forehead. He did not expect that the gap between himself and Taishang was so great that he could not even withstand a single glance from the other party.

Donghua couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene. The introduction of these two Westerners had instantly made the situation more interesting.

As for Taishang's glance, Donghua saw it very clearly: it wasn't that Taishang was so powerful, but that Zhunti was too weak!

The Supreme Being's glance was a demonic supernatural power, pushing the power of the Great Dao to its extreme. It was the power of the Supreme Heavenly Demon that caused Zhunti to fall into fear of Rahu.

This move isn't powerful, but it's just right for dealing with Zhunti, making it a sure way to defeat him.

The Three Pure Ones are indeed extraordinary!

The Three Pure Ones became even more terrifying after they became saints!

No wonder in the original timeline, the entire prehistoric world was ruled by the Three Pure Ones, and there was no mention of Nuwa, Jieyin, or Zhunti.

If it weren't for the infighting among the Three Pure Ones at the end, Jieyin and Zhunti might have had to wait much longer for their chance.

Taishang spoke up, saying, "Since you all agree that the last Human Emperor should be proposed by our two Western Daoist friends, then we have no objection. However, this Human Emperor can be contested by any of our Three Pure Ones. Whether the West can prevail depends entirely on its own abilities!"

The Supreme Being's words seemed ethereal, but there was a chill in them. Clearly, this was the bottom line for the Three Pure Ones, and they could not back down any further. If they continued to argue, the only thing left would be a fight!

But this is a last resort, and it's not the right time yet.

After all, we can't fight over every little thing. How would that be any different from those barbarians of the Witch Clan? It would also damage the dignity of the Heavenly Emperor and the Sage.
