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

Chapter 319 Fuxi, the First Ancestor of Humanity

The issuance of the Eastern Heavenly Decree instantly ignited the entire Phoenix Clan and the Southern Continent, with everyone turning their heads to await Yuan Feng's reaction.

Although the incident occurred in the southern continent, it spread throughout the entire prehistoric world in an instant, and many powerful beings were wondering what Donghua meant by this move.

Is this simply punishing Yuan Feng, or is it making an example of him to warn other forces involved in the struggle for humanity, so they can consider who truly reigns supreme in the primordial world?

If Donghua knew what these people were thinking, he would definitely laugh. Kill the chicken to scare the monkey? Yuanfeng is not a chicken, and they are not monkeys. If he really wanted to intervene in their struggle, he could just take action directly without any hesitation.

It's not surprising that these people have such thoughts. Donghua's current status and strength are quite extraordinary. After all, even the Three Pure Ones and the Two Sages of the West have been defeated by Donghua. So who in the prehistoric world can stop Donghua?

Meanwhile, inside the Undying Volcano, as the imperial decree descended, Yuan Feng and Kong Xuan both fell silent, and even Tai Yuan felt a little embarrassed.

After all, Yuan Feng's status is too special. He was once the overlord of heaven and earth, and his strength had already reached the peak of Quasi-Saint during the ancient times. Now he is guarding the Undying Volcano for the entire prehistoric world.

After a moment of silence, Kong Xuan said, "I'll go find the Great Celestial Venerable!"

In Kong Xuan's view, the severity of the punishment was not important; what mattered was the punishment itself. If the whipping and lightning punishment were actually carried out, Yuan Feng would truly lose face.

However, Yuan Feng appeared quite calm, as if the punishment wasn't directed at her. She simply smiled slightly, then turned to Kong Xuan and said:

"I've taught you so many times: stay calm, don't panic, don't act impulsively, think twice before you act. Why can't you do even one of these things?"

Yuan Feng understood perfectly well that Donghua's punishment was actually the punishment of Heaven. If Donghua did not punish her, the punishment of Heaven would surely come, and she would still be subject to the lightning tribulation.

The divine punishment brought down by Heaven itself is definitely more severe than what Donghua would do; he himself might even be in danger of perishing under the divine lightning of Heaven.

After all, in the eyes of Heaven, only her true body is needed to guard the Undying Volcano; her own primordial spirit and consciousness are dispensable.

Now that Donghua is acting on behalf of Tian, ​​the punishment will definitely be within his acceptable range, so this is helping her.

What she has to give up is her dignity, or rather, she doesn't have to give anything at all; she only needs to accept the punishment and uphold Donghua's divine authority.

Punishing a Quasi-Saint peak expert, who was also a former overlord of the primordial world, would bring far greater prestige than killing a Quasi-Saint peak expert. Most importantly, it would maximize the Heavenly Emperor's authority.

This move is unprecedented!

Kong Xuan was extremely anxious, but Yuan Feng remained calm. Looking at the Heavenly Decree floating in the air and the powerful Heavenly Dao force it contained, she pondered for a moment before saying:

"Yuan Feng accepts the decree and is willing to accept punishment!"

As soon as Yuan Feng finished speaking, the imperial edict written by Dong Hua instantly transformed into the power of the Heavenly Dao, and then manifested as boundless divine power of thunder. Thunder instantly filled the area above the fiery red volcano.

As the lightning shone, a figure gradually emerged above the volcano—it was the Heavenly Emperor's Dharma Image of Donghua.

With a solemn and stern expression, his divine eyes devoid of any emotion, he casually pointed out a finger, instantly fixing Yuan Feng's primordial spirit in place, and then drawing down her true form that guarded the volcano.

The primordial spirit and the true body instantly merged, and a powerful force erupted from the volcano, progressing from early Quasi-Saint to mid-Quasi-Saint, late-Quasi-Saint, and finally to peak Quasi-Saint.

Breakthrough to Quasi-Saint!

The sound of the phoenix's cry resounded throughout heaven and earth; at this moment, the phoenix returned!

The powerful phoenix stood atop the volcano, and then manifested between heaven and earth.

All the powerful beings in the primordial world turned their gazes toward this place.

"Donghua released Yuanfeng?"

"Yuan Feng has been born?"

"..."

Tai Shang looked at the southern volcano with his bright eyes, pondered for a moment, then closed his eyes and began to immerse himself in the Great Dao.

Don't even mention that Yuan Feng is not yet ready to be born. Even if he were, it wouldn't attract much of his attention. He's just a failed emperor, not worth mentioning!

He is now focused entirely on clearing the way, striving to defeat Donghua in the next confrontation and restore the dignity of the Three Pure Ones; nothing else matters.

Yuanshi and Tongtian shared the same idea. As for the two in the West, they had no time to interfere in the affairs of the East, let alone dare to interfere in the affairs of Donghua. They wished they could stay far away from Donghua.

Ever since the last Chaos Battle, Zhunti and Jieyin have felt a sense of unease whenever they see Donghua, because Donghua is truly ruthless, and their small Western estate is simply not going to withstand any more damage.

As for the other powerful figures, they could only watch helplessly; who would dare to interfere?

Inside the volcano, the moment Yuan Feng broke through to the peak of Quasi-Saint, Donghua's Heavenly Emperor Dharma Image moved, striking down with a palm and directly suppressing Yuan Feng in mid-air.

Yuan Feng's powerful aura vanished instantly, as if the scene that had just occurred had never happened.

Because Yuan Feng was as powerless as an ordinary chick under Dong Hua's palm strike.

And that was indeed the case. Yuan Feng originally wanted to test Dong Hua's strength, but when that palm struck down, she felt as if the sky had collapsed. She couldn't mobilize any of her Dao power and could only watch helplessly as she was suppressed!

This is normal, though. Donghua is already at the fourth level of the Primordial Chaos Realm, not to mention the Heavenly Emperor's Dharma Form and the Heavenly Emperor's Position, which allow him to mobilize the power of the Heavenly Dao. His strength has long surpassed the fourth level.

As Yuan Feng was suppressed, the Heavenly Emperor's Dharma Image began to move, and the power of destiny condensed into a long whip.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"..."

The whip lashed down on Yuan Feng again and again, leaving marks on her body with the power of the Great Dao. Each lash passed through her true form, striking her primordial spirit and the Great Dao.

After the whipping punishment ended, came the thunder punishment. Endless divine lightning struck Yuan Feng, and instantly a barbecue smell appeared. Her fiery red true form turned completely black.

As the lightning punishment ended, Donghua pointed out with one finger, separating Yuanfeng's true body and primordial spirit once again, with the true body guarding the volcano.

"Is there any resentment?"

Yuan Feng's weakened spirit recovered slightly, and she stood up, saying, "I should be the one thanking the Great Heavenly Venerable!"

After Donghua hummed in agreement, he didn't say much more about the matter. Instead, he said, "A major event is coming for the entire prehistoric world. You may be able to use this opportunity to escape. From now on, you can focus on cultivating the Great Dao in the volcano and stop interfering in the affairs of the Phoenix Clan."

"If you commit this offense again, I will personally annihilate you, body and soul."

Some things can only be done once, not twice!

Upon hearing Donghua's words, Yuanfeng's eyes flickered. She had thought she would stay in the volcano for the rest of her life until the immeasurable calamity descended and her opportunity came. Unexpectedly, things took another turn for the better.

Yuan Feng was about to ask what had happened, but Dong Hua's figure had already disappeared into the volcano.

"Mother!" Kong Xuan stepped forward and grabbed Yuan Feng's hand with one hand, instantly transmitting his primordial spirit power to her.

However, Yuan Feng did not pay attention to this action, but stared blankly at Kong Xuan.

This was the first time Kong Xuan had called him "mother"!

……

Time flies like an arrow!

After Fuxi became the clan leader, the Huaxu tribe began to vigorously reform according to his own ideas, mainly in the ordinary lives of mortals, inventing many tools and formulating many rules.

But what the immortals considered ordinary little things were actually a kind of progress in civilization.

To understand the state of a world, we must not only look at the top, but also at the lives of the creatures at the bottom.

For example, there are eight Primordial Chaos beings in the current primordial world, but if the ordinary beings at the bottom are still starving and poorly clothed, then the civilization of this world is flawed, and no amount of Primordial Chaos beings can cover up the backwardness of this world.

The appearance of Fuxi brought new civilization and ideas to the Huaxu tribe and the entire human race. It can be said that Fuxi was liberating human minds, freeing them from fixed thinking, and allowing everyone to have their own ideas.

This sounds convoluted. Does it mean that even without Fuxi, these mortals wouldn't have their own thoughts?

In fact, there isn't one!

Or perhaps these ordinary people have thought about these things but dare not say them out loud, because the ideas they are exposed to do not allow them to speak. And what kind of ideas can't be spoken of?

Fuxi solved this problem from the very beginning, and he seriously put forward a slogan:

"Under the vast sky, all beings are equal!"

Wei is Donghua, the Heavenly Emperor!

This slogan immediately caused a great stir in the Huaxu tribe, as it was completely different from the ideas they had been exposed to before.

The strong rule, the weak are preyed upon!

This is the true nature of the primordial world!

Fuxi's slogans were so pale and laughable in the prehistoric world and in the hearts of the people. Immortals and gods were born superior to humans, so how could they, mortals, possibly be equal to them?

However, in the face of all the doubts, Fuxi explained: "Man can conquer nature. If a person believes in his heart that he is inferior to others, then he will always be inferior to others."

"The equality of all beings does not mean you should not respect the strong, but rather that you should emulate them, emulate everyone who is stronger than you, learn from their ways, become like them, and surpass them!"

Fuxi's words were simple, but in this relatively underdeveloped human race, in this human race that had not yet formed its own thoughts, they were so shocking.

From that moment on, no one mocked Fuxi anymore.

Fuxi was also gradually bringing new ideas to the human race, bringing new vitality, or rather, civilization and spirit to the entire human race!

These civilizations and spirits gradually spread from the Huaxu tribe to the entire human race.

From this time onward, the name Fuxi spread throughout the human race, not because of his status as a primordial deity, but because of his status as the human Fuxi.

Many great sages and young people of the human race traveled from hundreds of millions of miles to visit Fuxi in the Huaxu tribe and discuss the Dao with each other. Among them were also some sages and young people from all races.

The collision of ideas always sparks new inspiration, and the spirit and civilization of humankind are gradually taking shape.

Meanwhile, Donghua and Nuwa, who were deep in the mountains, saw this scene and knew that the real battle for humanity was about to begin, because Fuxi had basically acquired the spirit and responsibility that a human emperor should have.

Looking at Fuxi, who was preaching to the people on the high platform in the tribe, Donghua couldn't help but admire him, thinking to himself, "Fuxi truly deserves the name of the progenitor of humanity!"

Among the Three Sovereigns, why did Fuxi achieve the greatest success?

This is not only because of his identity and background, but more importantly, he truly achieved a breakthrough for humanity from zero to one.

If humanity, as the masters of humankind, lacks its own spirit and civilization, how can it be worthy of the title of masters of humankind and protagonists of heaven and earth?

What Fuxi is doing now, and what the human race is experiencing, are conditions that neither the three innate races nor the Wu and Yao races possessed in the past.

How could they, who were born strong, really think about these things? They only believed in the survival of the fittest and the law of the jungle.

Although there is nothing wrong with this, it is neither the choice of Heaven nor the choice of Donghua!

Fuxi's teachings continued, and as time passed, this flourishing phenomenon not only did not end, but intensified. Even some human Taiyi Daluo cultivators, upon meeting Fuxi, were willing to address him as their teacher or the sage Fuxi.

Because the human race began to accept Fuxi's ideas and spirit.

Humanity has also entered a period of rapid transformation!

Perhaps before long, a brand new human race will appear before all living beings.

While Fuxi was spreading the Dao, his cultivation did not stagnate. Every now and then, he would come to Qishan to find Donghua and Nuwa and ask them about various things.

Donghua and Nuwa were also generous in sharing their knowledge. The three of them discussed and explored the Dao with each other, especially in the cultivation of the Great Dao. The two of them only taught Fuxi the Dao, not the methods.

In terms of cultivation, in addition to the Great Dao of Taiqing and the Great Dao of Golden Elixir taught by Xuandu, Donghua also passed on the Dao of Human Immortal to Fuxi.

Fuxi was the one who had mastered the Dao of Human Immortals. In his previous life, he had already developed this Dao to the level of Quasi-Saint, but he was unable to attain enlightenment.

Therefore, Donghua believes that Fuxi's Dao is not only in the human race, but also on the path of human immortals. If Fuxi can completely perfect the path of human immortals in this life, then the three paths of heaven, earth, and humanity will truly advance together.

Or perhaps the path of human immortals will surpass that of earth immortals, because Zhen Yuanzi is currently only at the late stage of quasi-saint, still hovering just before the peak.

Although Zhen Yuanzi is only missing a thin layer of paper, he is still nothing until you break through it.

Post-production is post-production!

The peak is the peak!

Therefore, if Fuxi were to prove himself, he might actually surpass Zhen Yuanzi and allow the paths of human immortals and celestial immortals to be on par.

However, this is still too far for Fuxi at present. Right now, he only knows how to study the Eight Trigrams and wants to innovate on the path of the Eight Trigrams, to deduce the Eight Trigrams that are suitable for the human race and for mortals.

With the Book of Changes and the original Eight Trigrams given by Donghua, plus the top-level innate spiritual treasures Hetu and Luoshu, Fuxi's mastery of the Eight Trigrams advanced by leaps and bounds.

As Fuxi's teacher, Xuandu entrusted Fuxi with the innate treasure, the Taiji Diagram, to help him comprehend the Dao.

This set of equipment is absolutely luxurious!

Let alone Fuxi, even a pig could probably figure something out in this situation!
