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

Chapter 323 Fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation

Above the Hengduan Mountains, a quasi-saint firework exploded once again. This time, Quan Lingzi was completely dead, beyond any doubt. His physical body, primordial spirit, and Great Dao were all destroyed.

In the battlefield below, the human race's momentum was unstoppable, while the dog-sealing race's momentum grew weaker and weaker until the fall of Quan Lingzi completely ignited the climax of this war.

The human race lost in one battle!

……

The primordial world is vast. There are thirty-two heavens, plus the Great Luo Heaven of Donghua and the five heavens of other sages, totaling thirty-eight heavens. There are twenty-four earths, five continents, and various heavens and elements attached to the primordial world.

Let alone ordinary mortals, even a true immortal who has attained enlightenment would probably not be able to traverse the entire primordial world in a lifetime.

However, the primordial world is very small. The Great Luo Immortals can traverse time and space and travel through all the heavens, the Quasi-Saints can roam the long river of destiny, and the Saints can illuminate all the heavens and the three realms with a single thought.

The primordial world is a magical place, full of opportunities. Now, as humanity strives for supremacy, a golden age is about to descend once again.

The prodigies of all races, the direct disciples of the four religions, and the transcendent descendants of the Heavenly Court—a struggle for the dragon among humankind gradually evolved into a clash between the descendants of various forces.

Xuandu, Guangchengzi, and Duobao set the precedent, marking the beginning of the legendary journey of the prehistoric geniuses.

Just like Donghua, Sanqing, Nuwa, Dijun, Taiyi and others during the great war between immortals and demons, these newly emerged innate saints created their legends amidst the raging demonic calamity and became masters of their own realms.

Just like Donghua's Purple Mansion, west Wangmu's Xi Kunlun, Dijun's Demon Clan, and Zhen Yuanzi's Wuzhuang Temple, they were all forces that were established during the great war between immortals and demons.

This time, the disciples of the Three Pure Ones made a move and killed a Quasi-Saint in one battle, which can be regarded as the beginning of a new round and a new generation of struggle in the prehistoric world.

In the celestial realm, Donghua sat on his imperial throne, his eyes slightly closed, his spirit roaming the Three Realms. At a certain moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the white-robed immortal beside him, saying:

"Taibai, how many more positions of Star Gods are still needed across the starry sky?"

The Venus, who was serving nearby, respectfully said, "Your Majesty, after the first conferment of gods and the addition of those who have joined the Heavenly Court in recent years, there are still 14,8927 positions of Star Gods missing, including 163 Star Lords."

Donghua nodded. The position of Star God cannot be bestowed upon anyone at will; it requires a corresponding destiny, or simply put, the destiny of a Star Lord.

After two devastating wars, many star gods have been reincarnated, leaving the stars without masters. This is the origin of the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods in later generations.

The reason Donghua asked this question today was to set up the Zhou Tian Star Array, thereby transforming the chaotic energy into innate spiritual energy.

Now this matter is about to proceed. After all, Fuxi has already assumed the throne of the Human Emperor, and the human race is undergoing earth-shaking changes. It is believed that it will not be long before Emperor Fuxi will be able to return to his position.

The day Fuxi returns will be the day the great formation is born.

Just as Donghua and Taibai Jinxing were talking, Lingguan entered the hall and reported, "Your Majesty, the Jade Emperor requests an audience!"

Donghua nodded and let Haotian in.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Haotian gave a slight bow.

Donghua gestured for Haotian to sit down, then said, "I wonder what brings you here, Junior Brother?"

Haotian's expression softened when he heard Donghua address him that way, and he said, "Senior brother, I've come to ask for leave."

"Hmm? Why?" Donghua asked in confusion, knowing that Haotian was on duty during this Yuanhui, and he could not ask for leave unless there was something important.

Haotian said happily, "Senior brother, I have found the reincarnation of Junior Sister Yaochi, and I can't wait to find her and bring her back."

Donghua nodded. He hadn't expected Haotian to discover Yaochi's reincarnation as well. It seemed that this guy was quite concerned about this matter. However, Haotian's trip was destined to be fruitless.

Yaochi cannot possibly recover her past life memories without cultivating to the Great Luo realm, since she is a reincarnation of the Great Dao and cannot tolerate any deception.

"Won't you wait a little longer?"

"I can't wait, not even a quarter of an hour. These days, I can't even concentrate on my cultivation, let alone handling government affairs. All I want to do is see Yaochi," Haotian said.

Donghua laughed and said, "You, you can't even wait this long. Luckily I didn't tell you earlier, or you would have been gone."

"Very well, I am not an unfeeling person. Go and negotiate with the other emperors to see who is willing to govern for you. After you have settled things, I will go with you."

Haotian was overjoyed and said, "Your Majesty, I thank you. I have already discussed it with Longbo, and he will take over the reins of government in my stead."

Donghua nodded, and then the two left the Heavenly Realm and arrived at Shouyang Mountain.

Since the last battle with the Inufu clan, with the death of Quan Lingzi, the Inufu clan suffered a complete defeat; some fled, some died, and some surrendered...

A once powerful ancient race has completely declined. Although it cannot be said that the race was wiped out, its foundation is basically gone, and it has been fragmented and no longer has any power.

After the battle, the human race's leadership, following the wishes of the Heavenly Emperor, allowed Fuxi to ascend the throne as Emperor, ruling over all tribes.

With this, Fuxi officially ascended to the pinnacle of humanity and began arranging various post-war tasks...

When Donghua and Haotian arrived at Shouyang Mountain, the human race had already digested the fruits of victory in the war, and their strength had developed rapidly.

"Who are you, daring to trespass on my clan's ancestral land?" Just after Donghua and Haotian entered the ancestral land of the human race at Shouyang Mountain and revealed their true forms, two men and a woman flew over and blocked their way.

Upon closer inspection, Donghua recognized the woman as Yaochi and Yaoji, while the man beside her was, well, nothing special, just an ordinary human prodigy.

Haotian was extremely excited to see Yaochi, whom he had been longing for day and night. He couldn't help but want to go forward and acknowledge her, but he managed to suppress his emotions with reason. However, the other party clearly saw Haotian's expression just now.

"Bah, you scoundrels! Speak! Which tribe's prodigies are you? Or are you from another tribe? What brings you here?" Yao Ji asked, pointing a sword at Haotian, a sword that had appeared in her hand at some unknown time.

Haotian was momentarily at a loss for words when asked this question. He had originally intended to go to the Human Race Hall first, and then gradually integrate into the Human Race, staying by Yaochi's side as a way of protecting her.

But now that they've just arrived in the human realm and have already encountered the main character, how can things proceed as planned?

However, Haotian's speechless expression alerted the other side. Even Yaochi and the man mobilized their inner power and stood in the Three Talents position, ready to make a move at any moment.

Seeing Haotian's discomfiture, Donghua smiled and said, "This humble Taoist is Chongyang. This is my good friend, Daoist Bairen. We have heard that the Human Emperor Fuxi is recruiting virtuous people from all over the world to join the Human Race, offering high positions and the opportunity to enjoy the Human Race's fortune. We two have come to see for ourselves."

Hearing this, the three people opposite her lowered their guard. Yaochi said, "Indeed, our Emperor's magnanimity embraces the world. If you two are truly talented, you can join our human race and achieve high positions."

"May I ask if the fairy could make an introduction?" Haotian immediately asked upon hearing Yaochi's words.

Yaochi carefully examined the two people in front of her. She couldn't tell their cultivation levels, but they stood there like ordinary people, yet seemed to be beyond the world. Their cultivation levels must be at the Great Luo level.

"I couldn't be happier. In that case, please follow me, fellow Daoists." With that, Yaochi led the two to the Human Race's main hall.

"May I ask how you should address me, Fairy?" Seeing that the others had lowered their guard, Haotian began to chat with Yaochi.

"Jade Pool!"

"Fairy, I..."

Donghua looked at Haotian chatting with Yaochi and couldn't help but sigh. The way of love is indeed difficult to understand. Even a quasi-saint like Haotian, who has severed one of his corpses, cannot avoid it.

However, upon closer reflection, I realize that I am also caught up in the word "love." Whether it is my Daoist partner, the Queen Mother of the West, or Houtu, with whom I have an ambiguous relationship, or Nuwa with whom I once cultivated together, or Jinling, whose nature is unclear, I am ultimately leaving my mark on everyone.

Donghua dismissed these thoughts and stopped thinking about them. He just wanted to keep things simple, or rather, let nature take its course.

"Was your Heavenly Eye something you were born with?" Donghua suddenly asked Yaoji. He still couldn't understand how Yaoji could possess the Heavenly Eye; such a thing shouldn't exist on Yaoji.

Yao Ji's Heavenly Eye is different from Yang Jian's Heavenly Eye in later generations. It can directly connect with the Heavenly Dao, and its importance is no less than that of a top-level innate spiritual treasure. In fact, it even surpasses a top-level spiritual treasure in terms of cultivation.

To put it simply, Yao Ji only needs to cultivate step by step, and the worst achievement she can attain in the future is the Quasi-Saint realm, and even the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm is not out of the question.

Yang Jian's Heavenly Eye was merely an innate supernatural ability, nothing special.

Yao Ji looked at Donghua in front of her. Although there was no pressure or traces of cultivation on him, she knew that he was very strong.

Because the divine eye that usually sees through everything in the world is useless on this person, and even closes automatically, not daring to look at him.

You should know that when she first met the Human Emperor Fuxi, her Heavenly Eye was not in this state. Only this person could make her Heavenly Eye close.

Yao Ji thought for a moment and then answered truthfully, "Senior, the Heavenly Eye has been with me since I was born, and it only manifested after I embarked on cultivation."

Donghua thought for a moment and said, "Miss Yaoji, may I investigate? It won't harm you?"

"Okay!" Yao Ji didn't know why she agreed so readily to Donghua's words, as if she trusted the person in front of her from the bottom of her heart.

Donghua pointed a finger, which landed on Yaoji's forehead, and the power of the Heavenly Dao instantly entered her Heavenly Eye.

"The Jade Disc of Creation?"

As soon as Donghua entered the Heavenly Eye, he immediately knew what the Heavenly Eye was, but the answer was truly beyond his expectations.

Because Yao Ji's Heavenly Eye was actually formed from a fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation, but how is that possible?

He had seen the Jade Disc of Creation before; he had even used it to study and cultivate for ten thousand years. It was a complete treasure, so how could it have any flaws? Moreover, it eventually transformed into the Heavenly Eye and appeared on Yao Ji's body.

At this moment, even Donghua, as the Heavenly Emperor, couldn't understand this matter.

"Could it be that Yao Ji has some kind of relationship with Master?"

"Yao Ji, Yaochi, Haotian, the Jade Disc of Creation, Hongjun!"

After thinking for a long time, Donghua felt that Hongjun must have been involved in this matter, otherwise things wouldn't have happened so coincidentally.

Yaochi was Hongjun's attendant, and Yaoji was Yaochi's younger sister. She also possessed the Heavenly Eye, which was formed from a fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation. How could things in the world be so coincidental?

"Could it be that when Nuwa brought me to see the Jade Pool last time, she actually wanted me to see Yao Ji?"

Donghua stopped thinking about it after this point, as there was no point in thinking about it any further. Hongjun must have some ulterior motives in this matter, but it was hard to say exactly what they were, and it was impossible to judge for the time being.

However, things have become more complicated and interesting.

"Fellow Daoist Chongyang!" As soon as the group arrived at the Human Race Hall, Fuxi appeared before the hall's entrance.

Donghua nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist Fuxi, it's been a long time. I heard that you have become the emperor of your clan, so I brought my friends here to offer my congratulations."

When Donghua saw Fuxi again, he could clearly see that Fuxi had cultivated the way of the emperor and had achieved considerable skill, even great skill.

Based on Fuxi's current progress, breaking through to the Great Luo realm should be imminent, and he may even break through at any time.

Once Fuxi breaks through to the Great Luo realm, his era will arrive once again. His memories will awaken, his two lives will merge, and if he can successfully comprehend the path of the Human Immortal, he may be able to reach the peak of Quasi-Saint in one fell swoop.

All that remains is to wait for the completion of the Human Emperor's throne and, with the help of his merits and the power of the human race's fortune, to break through to the Quasi-Saint realm and achieve the Primordial Chaos realm.

"Not at all, not at all, fellow Daoist, please come in!"

The group entered the main hall and began a casual conversation.

After some casual conversation, Fuxi said, "Fellow Daoist Chongyang, I wish to emulate the actions of the Heavenly Emperor in the Purple Mansion by establishing a ranking system among the human race and holding a grand competition to motivate their cultivation and prepare for the upcoming war. What do you think, fellow Daoist?"

Donghua glanced at Fuxi, never expecting that this guy would have such insight during the time he had been the Human Emperor.

But it makes sense. Now that the human race occupies the East and has become the only major race in the East, the only thing they lack is a quasi-saint level expert.

However, with the fall of the Heavenly Emperor, it seems that the human race has broken free of its limitations, and the Earthly Emperor should be about to break through to the Quasi-Saint level.

"Excellent! If humanity wants to continue expanding, the next opponent should be the Asura race. Fellow Daoist, you must prepare well!"

Upon hearing Donghua's words, Fuxi frowned. He knew how formidable the Asura race was, which was attacking from the west in three directions, but the human race had no chance of winning against them.

Leaving aside the Styx Ancestor, who is already at the peak of Quasi-Saint, the Four Asura Kings alone are enough to make the human race have difficulty dealing with them; those are four Quasi-Saints.

After a conversation, Donghua stayed with the human race again, and the grand competition prepared by the human race officially began.

The most outstanding individuals from various tribes have all gathered at Shouyang Mountain, the ancestral home of the human race, and the competition rules for each stage have been finalized.

To obtain the grand prize, Fuxi also approached the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion and exchanged for a large number of rare and precious materials, such as peaches of immortality and golden pills, all of which could directly enhance one's cultivation.

……

P.S.: A new month has begun, and the story of Emperor Fuxi should be coming to an end soon. The story of the Earthly Emperor will be shorter later.

Here's the suspense: Who is the mastermind behind Yao Ji? Guess correctly and you'll win a prize!
