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

Chapter 302 The Emperor, the Great Fusion of All Races

A majestic wind rises across the heavens and earth, and lofty aspirations speak of loyalty and righteousness!

The battles in the primordial world intensified, especially after the Phoenix Clan's intervention. Some large clans and powers could no longer remain passive and began to expand.

For them, they never thought of dominating the primordial world or occupying the human realm. Their real purpose was simply to share a little bit of human fortune and merit, after all, even a small mosquito is still meat.

After leaving Tiannan, Donghua arrived at Shouyang Mountain. Although it was nominally Donghua's Daoist temple, it had now become the territory of the human race. Of course, no one dared to occupy the mountain range where Donghua's palace, Bailian Cave, was located, nor would anyone occupy it.

"Greetings, Great Celestial Venerable, Master!" As soon as Donghua entered the cave, his mount, Gouchen, rose to pay his respects.

Donghua glanced at Gouchen and said teasingly, "When did you become so polite? Why don't you call me 'Boss' anymore?"

Hearing Donghua's teasing, Gou Chen smiled sheepishly and then said, "Master, I was young and ignorant back then. Besides, you are now the Hunyuan Heavenly Emperor and the Great Heavenly Venerable of the Three Realms. How could I address you like that?"

Donghua smiled and walked into the cave. As he passed Gouchen, he patted his head and thought to himself, "Everyone is growing up. Even this once flamboyant boy has become mature and steady."

He then said softly, "Still call me Boss from now on. I like that title. The Great Celestial Venerable's majesty won't be affected by how you address me."

Gou Chen smiled happily. He was delighted by Dong Hua's words. Time seemed to have returned to that afternoon, still on Shouyang Mountain, when Gou Chen first met Dong Hua, the master of the Purple Mansion and the head of the male immortals. Their fate began from that moment.

After Donghua entered the cave, which became his training ground, he never stayed there for long. It was a waste to leave such a cave for himself. Ironically, the longest he stayed here was when he was waiting for the birth of the Kongtong Seal.

After so many years of cultivation, and with the addition of the treasured Twelve-Petaled Pure White Lotus that guards the cave, the spiritual energy and Daoist charm of the White Lotus Cave on Shouyang Mountain have reached their peak. However, only Gouchen lives in this cave world, serving as its guardian.

"Gou Chen, now that you are a powerful Grand Luo cultivator, it is too leisurely for you to stay here. From now on, you will no longer need to guard this place. I plan to let you go down the mountain to follow Fu Xi and make some achievements and gain merit in this battle for humanity."

"Once you have achieved the required merits, you should have reached the peak of the Great Luo realm. At that time, you will no longer need to be my mount. I will bestow upon you the title of Celestial Lord of the Heavenly Court, allowing you to enjoy your rank and merits."

Upon hearing Donghua's words, Gouchen immediately replied, "Boss, I have no problem with you asking me to go down the mountain for training, but I don't want any rank or position. I will always be your mount. Even if I become a Quasi-Saint or a Primordial Immortal in the future, I will still be your mount. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today."

Since Gouchen became Donghua's mount, it has enjoyed the best cultivation techniques and the best treatment. Most importantly, it has broadened its horizons. Before meeting Donghua, it had only seen cultivators at the Taiyi level and below.

However, after getting to know Donghua, he met a Quasi-Saint, a Primordial Saint. In his presence, Taiyi bowed his head, Daluo lowered his eyebrows, and even Quasi-Saints treated him with respect.

Gou Chen didn't really care about these things. The real reason he wanted Donghua to stay was because Donghua treated him well enough. Although he was called a mount, he was no different from a disciple. It was just a difference in name only.

Seeing Gouchen's resolute attitude, Donghua did not continue speaking, but instead instructed, "In that case, pack your things and come down the mountain with me."

Upon hearing Donghua's words, Gouchen immediately rose to take his leave. After collecting some items, he revealed his original form, a majestic Gouchen divine beast appearing between heaven and earth.

Donghua glanced at it, then waved his hand, concealing Gouchen's original form and turning it into an ordinary Qilin auspicious beast.

"Boss, you don't need to turn me into a Qilin to hide your identity, do you? I hate Qilin the most, and I hate it when people mistake me for one." Gou Chen said with dissatisfaction after seeing the appearance.

Donghua didn't care about any of that. He transformed himself and flew up, patting Gou Chen on the head and saying, "You're such a troublemaker."

"Let's go, follow me, Chongyang, to the human race."

Gouchen seemed to rise with the wind beneath its feet, then leaped up from the ground and headed down the mountain.

"Your Majesty, a Taoist priest requests an audience, saying he has something to discuss with you."

Inside the main hall, the Emperor was overwhelmed with worries about the affairs of the human race. Upon hearing these words, he felt a strange anger, mainly because the conflicts among the human race were all instigated by various powerful figures.

These Taoist priests are all wicked and full of schemes, but they are often very powerful and should not be offended easily.

The Emperor stopped what he was doing and finally said helplessly, "Enter!"

Not long after, Donghua, dressed in a purple Taoist robe and holding a whisk, stepped into the main hall. His long, silvery-white hair cascaded down his shoulders like a long, flowing river. His handsome and mature face gave people a sense of warmth and approachability.

However, when Donghua appeared, Emperor Tianhuang's eyes immediately narrowed, because he could not discern Donghua's true strength at all.

He seemed to be a Great Luo Immortal, and also a Quasi-Saint.

Although the person was standing there, it was as if they did not exist in this time and space, but were independent of the three realms and formed their own world.

The Emperor relaxed his nerves, making his expression more natural, and then stepped forward, saying, "May I ask who you are, and what brings you to my human race?"

Donghua bowed politely and said softly, "I am Chongyang, and I am cultivating overseas. I have heard that the Human Emperor is ambitious and intends to unify the prehistoric world. I have come here to see what abilities Your Majesty has."

Upon hearing Donghua's words, the Emperor immediately became alert, looked at Donghua, and said in a deep voice, "I don't know where you heard this rumor, fellow Daoist. Neither my human race nor I myself have the ambition to dominate the world, nor do we intend to seize control of humanity."

Upon hearing Tianhuangshi's words, Donghua laughed heartily and said with a hint of deeper meaning, "Since Fellow Daoist Tianhuangshi dares to think it, why doesn't he dare to do it? Besides, the time is ripe now, why don't you step in?"

Emperor Tianhuang stared blankly at Donghua. He didn't know the origin of the person in front of him, but what he said was truly audacious.

"Since you have such understanding, fellow Daoist, may I offer some guidance?"

Donghua looked at the Heavenly Emperor and said, "Now that all the races are getting involved and powerful figures are betting everywhere, all the major clans in the prehistoric world have already begun to act. Are you still going to wait?"

The Emperor looked intently at Donghua and said softly, "Fellow Daoist, what can you teach me?"

Seeing the Emperor's caution, Donghua chuckled softly and then revealed his true form.

"Teacher?" The Emperor exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this, then immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Great Heavenly Venerable!"

Donghua gestured and said softly, "No need for formalities. I've come to tell you that the time is almost ripe. What you need to do now is to integrate the human race's power, clarify the power divisions within the human race, and make arrangements for Fuxi's future."

"After everything is done, I will personally guide you to your reincarnation. When you return in your next life, you will become the last Human Emperor and bring humanity to its peak!"

Upon hearing Donghua's words, the Emperor clenched his fists tightly, his eyes flashed with light, and he exuded an aura that was sharp and chilling.

Because this moment was one that the Emperor had been waiting for for a long time, until he could barely contain his anger. He wished he could skin and crush those who were causing trouble among the human race and those who wanted to divide the human race.

However, because it wasn't the right time to act, the Emperor had been holding back, not wanting to delay the important affairs of the human race for the sake of these worms.

The struggle for humanity is no small matter; it is a major issue concerning the entire human race. If we are not careful, the human race will be kicked out of this struggle. Even if we are not kicked out, we may eventually become playthings of powerful beings, without any autonomy. This is a scene that the Emperor does not want to see.

Now, hearing Donghua's words, the anger that had been building up inside him could finally be released. This time, he would wipe out all those clowns who were jumping around among the humans.

He didn't care what kind of background or power those people had behind them; if we're talking about background and power, who could compare to him?

With a sage standing behind him, the Heavenly Emperor, who is known as the number one expert in the primordial world, what else does he have to fear!

"Please rest assured, Master, I will definitely pave a clean path for the Holy Master Fuxi, integrate the human race, and wipe out all those worms," ​​the Emperor said resolutely.

Donghua just smiled and didn't say anything more. He didn't have much confidence in whether the Emperor could unify the human race.

Although the human race is nominally under the leadership of the Emperor, it has split into many factions, and many tribes have begun to obey orders but not proclamations, ignoring almost all the orders issued by the Emperor.

Although the Emperor's side has many human experts, pacifying the various human tribes and integrating their discordant forces cannot be won by force alone, nor can it be decided by force.

Because outside of the human race, there are other powerful clans and forces eyeing the conflict. These people are all intelligent; they know that so many people are betting on the human race, and the human race also has the background of a Primordial Saint, so they will definitely intervene in this struggle for humanity.

So all these people are waiting, they are all waiting for an opportunity, and they are even willing to personally intervene and split the human race.

Therefore, to quell the current divisions within the human race, we cannot rely solely on strength; we must also possess sufficient prestige and power to suppress the ambitions of certain individuals and force them to submit to us.

This is something that the current imperial clan can hardly do. This period of dormancy has caused the imperial clan to lose the support of many people, as well as some of the support of the people below.

Because these people do not understand the Emperor's predicament, they do not know the situation of the human race, they only know that under the leadership of the Emperor, the human race has become divided.

Their emperor did not respond effectively to these matters, or even ignore them.

In this matter, it's not a matter of who is right or wrong; from their respective perspectives, neither is wrong.

Therefore, this is the most difficult problem for the Imperial Family to solve. Superficial divisions can be resolved with force, but internal and ideological divisions cannot be resolved with force.

Donghua did not tell the Emperor these things; some things are hard to understand without experiencing them yourself.

He wanted the Emperor to experience all of this, and to lay some foundation for his future as the third emperor, since being the third emperor was really not easy.

Among the three emperors of the human race, the first emperor faced the most difficult task, as he almost had to quell the initial conflicts among the myriad races.

The second Human Emperor's goal was to consolidate the power of all races, unite all races, and develop the power of the human race—in short, to consolidate achievements.

The third Human Emperor was one who needed to thoroughly solidify the rule of the human race, eliminate all threatening and opposing forces, and completely establish the human race as the master of humanity and the protagonist of heaven and earth.

Therefore, the most difficult were the first and third emperors!

The Five Emperors, who followed the Three Clans, were the masters of humanity. They developed the human race, promoted the development of humanity, balanced the three paths of heaven, earth, and humanity, and led humanity to glory.

Therefore, the selection of the Five Emperors required wisdom rather than strength.

After exchanging pleasantries with the Emperor for a while, Donghua said, "I will send an avatar to stay by your side to protect you. I am worried that some people will take this opportunity to kill you."

"Although it won't completely kill you, it will at least allow you to reincarnate. However, the struggle for humanity is right before our eyes. Once you enter the cycle of reincarnation, you will definitely miss this opportunity."

Upon hearing Donghua's words, Tianhuangshi broke out in a cold sweat. He was currently only at the peak of the Great Luo realm, but with the help of spiritual treasures and the fortune of the human race, he was confident that he could fight against a single Quasi-Saint.

But if the other party wants him dead, they will definitely strike decisively and will never give him a chance to take advantage.

Moreover, even several sages disagreed on his position as emperor, as his position was not as secure as that of Fuxi and Hongyun.

The positions of these two are not affected by the struggle between the great powers and saints of the primordial world. Even if Donghua and Nuwa lose in this struggle, they will still be the Human Emperors.

The only difference is that their path to becoming a Primordial Chaos Realm was severed, meaning they could at most achieve the position of Human Emperor with the cultivation of a Quasi-Saint at its peak.

But he couldn't do that. If he died, even Donghua and Nuwa couldn't say anything. They couldn't possibly start another war for him, could they? It was unrealistic to even think about it.

He, the emperor, believed that he did not yet possess such abilities, so he should indeed be careful.

"Thank you for your guidance, teacher. I understand now!"

After Donghua finished speaking, he transformed back into Chongyang's appearance and left the main hall.

He then rode Gou Chen away from the Shouyang Mountain human tribe and headed east, eventually arriving at the Huaxu tribe, which is Qishan where Fuxi lived.

He came here specifically to instruct Fuxi, hoping to pass on some of his own ideas to him.

A seed was planted in Fuxi's heart, which eventually brought about new changes to this primordial world.

"Humanity should not be just humans; it should be a great fusion of all races. Anyone who is willing to acknowledge that they are human can be part of humanity."

"That is, the great fusion of all races!"
