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

In the human capital of Chen, Fuxi emerged from seclusion, his powerful aura causing ripples in the void—and this was merely an aura he released unintentionally.

Back then, Houtu enjoyed 50% of the Earthly Cycle's fortune and was able to cultivate all the way to the Third Heaven. Now, with about 60% of the Human Dao's fortune on Fuxi, his cultivation level can be described as changing rapidly.

"Sixty percent of humanity's fortune combined with my own body already possesses such power; how much more powerful would it be if it were ten percent?" Fuxi sighed.

But deep down he knew very well that this was simply impossible. Not only would the sages not agree, but even he himself couldn't do it. Humanity is different from others; it represents all living beings.

If all the blessings and fortune of humanity were bestowed upon him, it would be equivalent to him bearing the weight of all living beings on his shoulders, which would absolutely crush him.

"Now that my merits have been fulfilled, it is time for me to step down from the throne of the Human Emperor. I just didn't expect that the Great Heavenly Venerable would actually agree, and even the Three Pure Ones had no objections."

He proposed the idea simply to give it his all, and he was prepared for everyone to reject it, but to his surprise, everyone agreed.

"Do you think I'll succeed, or do you not think I'll succeed?" Fuxi chuckled helplessly.

"Brother, what exactly are you planning to do, that you actually want to refine a supreme innate treasure?"

Nuwa suddenly appeared beside Fuxi and asked in confusion, "Suppressing the human race's fortune with the laws of the world and connecting with the human way is definitely the best way. By aligning the human way with your way, if the primordial world can transcend in the future, you will also have hope of achieving the Great Dao."

Fuxi shook his head and said, "Little sister, I know you mean well, but the laws of the world are not in line with my personality. Once I open up the world and suppress the human race's destiny, I will be tied to the primordial world."

"Although my ambitions are not grand, I still want to venture into that chaos and see what truly lies on the Great Dao."

"The most precious thing for a person is freedom!"

Nuwa sighed and said, "It seems I was being presumptuous. Wasn't your ambition to live your whole life in the primordial world? It seems you've been influenced by me and want to venture to even more distant places."

Fuxi laughed and said, "It's not because of your influence, but because my ambition has been fulfilled. Above, I helped Donghua unify the prehistoric world and govern the three realms of heaven, earth, and man. I am now the Holy Venerable."

"Now, I have unified humanity and completed the ideal of governing the prehistoric world. I have spread my ideas across the prehistoric continent and planted them in the hearts of all humankind."

"My Way is everywhere!"

"Little sister, I have succeeded. The primordial wilderness is no longer a place to realize my ideals, but a place that hinders my progress."

Nuwa said firmly, "Since you have this idea, brother, then I will help you!"

"Alright, thank you very much, little sister. You have successfully refined the Kongtong Seal before, so you already have experience. With your help, we can increase our chances of winning."

After Fuxi finished speaking, he took out a treasure, a huge Chaos Origin Stone.

"Treasure Sharing Cliff?" Nuwa exclaimed in shock, asking incredulously.

Fuxi nodded and said, "That's right, this is indeed the Treasure Dividing Cliff. Its true form is a Chaos Origin Stone, which contains Chaos Origin Qi."

"Moreover, it once contained many innate spiritual treasures and has been tainted by the aura of too many spiritual treasures, which means that this source stone now possesses many great Daos."

"It's a naturally precious embryo!"

After pondering for a moment, Nuwa asked, "How did you obtain the Treasure Sharing Cliff?"

Fuxi laughed and said, "I must have gone to Zixiao Palace to get it, otherwise would I have stolen it from my teacher?"

"When I decided to refine a supreme treasure, the first thing that came to mind was this Chaos Origin Stone. Later, I went to Zixiao Palace to ask for it, and to my surprise, my teacher immediately agreed. This strengthened my confidence in refining a supreme innate treasure."

"Alright, in that case, let's work together to forge this supreme treasure!"

After Nuwa agreed, the two left the prehistoric world and entered the chaotic world.

Both are powerful beings of the Primordial Chaos realm. Fuxi has now broken through to the third level of the Heavenly Realm, while Nuwa is a being who has paved the way to the fourth level.

Therefore, the refining process is particularly fast. The massive Treasure Dividing Cliff is placed in the Creation Cauldron, where the Creation Divine Fire continuously bakes and calcines it.

Fuxi alone formed an array, mobilizing the chaotic energy as fuel, continuously adding it to the Creation Cauldron.

This went on for quite a while!

The once enormous Treasure Sharing Cliff has been reduced to the size of a disc.

"It's done!"

Nuwa was also slightly pleased: "It's done, but this is only the first step. Right now, we've only refined the embryo of the supreme treasure, and we've only gained the qualification."

"The crucial steps are yet to come. Success will result in a priceless treasure, while failure will only leave you with a top-tier innate spiritual treasure."

Fuxi smiled and said, "Everything is difficult at the beginning. Now we have taken a big step. We can take the rest slowly."

With the embryo formed, the two left the chaos and arrived in Chendu.

To forge this ultimate treasure, Chendu is the key location; the right time, the right place, and the right people are all indispensable.

In Chendu, with the departure of Fuxi, almost all matters concerning the human race are now handled by the Earth Emperor and Shennong, who manage all government affairs.

After meeting the two, Fuxi went into seclusion to infuse his Dao into the precious embryo.

Before that, he needed to break the Kongtong Seal, inject the Dao of the Kongtong Seal into the embryo, and then nurture and refine it with his own Dao.

In this process, no one could help Fuxi; he had to complete it all by himself.

Nuwa personally oversaw the affairs of Chendu, using her primordial saintly body to suppress the fate of the human race.

Time passed slowly, and the Kongtong Seal shattered, its Dao being infused into the embryo.

Fuxi is using his Daoist essence to nurture the embryo.

In the blink of an eye, another ten days have passed.

Humanity has undergone tremendous changes, the most important of which is that it has transitioned from the tribal era to the urban era.

Countless cities rose from the ground, and roads connected them one by one.

Outside the city, fields stretched out in rows, and ordinary people enjoyed the joy of the harvest.

All of this was within the deductions of Shennong and Xuanming, and was also the result of their efforts. For this reason, Xuanming came to the Heavenly Realm countless times to seek Donghua's help.

Donghua answered all the questions and sent people to help Xuanming. Many disciples of the Jie Sect also participated, as did disciples of the Ren Sect and the Chan Sect. The Western Continent was exclusively for Buddhist disciples.

And right there, above Chendu, a vast image of the Human Emperor suppressed all existence, his majestic and ancient figure standing tall above Chendu.

Fuxi unleashed his full power, the Dao of the Human Emperor erupted, and the three thousand Great Daos were compressed into a divine wheel, fixing the precious embryo within it and tightly binding it together.

The Way of the Human Emperor transformed into a giant golden hammer, and Fuxi swung the golden hammer and began to smash the embryo wildly.

"boom!"

"boom!"

One hammer blow, two hammer blows, three hammer blows...

Fuxi was tireless, swinging his hammer relentlessly. At that moment, he only knew that each strike was a force.

The roaring sound echoed continuously in Chendu, as if the Great Road was singing a beautiful song.

After the 2,999 hammer blows were unleashed, all the power within Fuxi's body was ignited, and the three thousand Great Daos all moved in unison.

All forces, under the rule of the Emperor, are unified as one.

At that very moment, Nuwa completely released the human race's destiny that she had been suppressing.

As Fuxi swung his golden hammer, it instantly transformed into a golden dragon. The golden dragon merged with the power of destiny formed from the human realm's fortune, and the two became one.

"boom!"

A voice rang out, "The third thousand hammer blows are complete!"

As the hammer fell, the precious embryo shone with golden light and floated up automatically, with the power of the Great Dao gathering around it.

Its image also changed to resemble the original Kongtong Seal.

At this moment, the entire primordial world stirred!

In the starry sky, the sun, moon, stars, and constellations all shine brightly, their power illuminating the primordial world and the entire universe.

Above the nine heavens, celestial flowers bloomed, and the three thousand Great Daos appeared in the primordial world. Purple Qi came from the east, spreading across the sky!

On the earth, golden lotuses sprang forth, giving birth to all things, and the earth's virtuous and powerful energy trembled.

The immortal path radiates profound light, the divine path radiates golden light, and the demonic path radiates spiritual light; the three lights shine brightly.

The Daoist sound flowed through the primordial world. At this moment, countless beings took human form and were spared from heavenly tribulations, as if even heaven and earth could not bear to bring down calamities.

At this moment, all the powerful beings in the primordial world focused their attention on this place, and everyone was watching to see if Fuxi could refine a primordial treasure belonging to the human way.

The Kongtong Seal slowly rose into the sky, reaching the heavens above, where the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man converged, their power continuously bombarding the Kongtong Seal.

The power of Heaven and Earth has already been added to the Kongtong Seal, leaving only the power of Humanity, which is the most crucial step.

After all, the new Kongtong Seal is a treasure of humanity!

The vast and mighty human fortune converged into a golden dragon that blotted out the sky, and all of it flowed into the Kongtong Seal.

The three powers surged within the Kongtong Seal, merging together.

But at this crucial final moment, the spirit of humanity began to overflow from the Kongtong Seal.

"How could this happen?"

"How could this happen?"

"Wasn't the Kongtong Seal already a priceless treasure? Why is it like this?"

Fuxi stared at this scene in disbelief. The situation was now clear: although Heaven and Earth had accepted the advancement of the Kongtong Seal, the Kongtong Seal itself was not living up to its potential.

Nuwa sighed and said, "The primordial power of the Kongtong Seal is still insufficient to bear the destiny of humanity and the Primordial Dao. It's truly a pity!"

At this moment, all the powerful beings watching in the primordial world sighed, especially the sages. Although they did not want any new Primordial Chaos to appear, they were still very happy to see the birth of the Primordial Treasure.

With red eyes, Fuxi looked at the Kongtong Seal, whose fortune was draining away, and wished he could use his own body to make up for the missing essence.

But this is just wishful thinking. If he actually did it, what would be the point of all that he did?

Just as Fuxi was about to reclaim the Kongtong Seal and open up the world to suppress the destiny anew, a streak of light flashed across the heavens.

Donghua's figure appeared in the heavens!

Donghua gazed at the Kongtong Seal, then pointed a finger, and a stream of chaotic primordial energy flowed out, landing on the Kongtong Seal. A bright flame then ignited beneath the Kongtong Seal.

In just a moment, he merged that mass of chaotic primordial energy into the Kongtong Seal.

As the power of origin was replenished, the Kongtong Seal shone brightly once more, enveloping all the fortune of humanity within it.

"It's done!"

Fuxi exclaimed excitedly, then leaped up and took the brand-new Kongtong Seal, a supreme innate treasure.

Thus, following the Reincarnation Seal, another innate treasure has appeared in the primordial world. This is a treasure of destiny unique to the human realm, the innate treasure Kongtong Seal!

"Fuxi bowed in gratitude to the Great Heavenly Venerable."

"Fuxi thanks fellow Daoist for his kindness in making this possible."

Fuxi bowed deeply to Donghua.

Donghua smiled nonchalantly and said softly, "I was merely adding the finishing touch; the true emergence of this supreme treasure is all thanks to you."

Fuxi expressed his gratitude once again.

Donghua shook his head, and his figure disappeared into the heavens. At the same time, a powerful aura rose up from the East Sea without any concealment, heading straight for Donghua.

"Great Heavenly Venerable, Junior Brother Donghua, Fellow Daoist, Good Junior Brother, Good..."

Tongtian's eyes revealed a burning desire, and his intentions were very clear.

Upon seeing this, Donghua felt a headache coming on. He sighed and rubbed his forehead. He knew this would happen. Tongtian was almost driven mad by the question of whether the Four Swords of Zhuxian could be upgraded to innate supreme treasures.

If becoming a demon could truly allow the Four Swords of Zhuxian to advance, he estimated that Tongtian would not hesitate.

"It's gone, really gone."

Donghua didn't lie to Tongtian; he really was gone. He had used up all his Chaos Origin Qi last time in order to refine a supreme treasure.

This time, the Chaos Origin Qi was obtained from the Time-Space Demon God. After the Time-Space Demon God was killed by him, his origin was shattered into pieces.

He managed to gain some of it, but he didn't get any of the Great Dao Rules because he had already returned to the Great Dao. However, he did gain some of the Chaos Origin Qi.

Because the true form of the Chaos Demon God was actually Chaos Origin Qi, something he hadn't expected.

Tongtian said in a low voice, "You said the same thing last time, that there isn't a single drop left."

"But so many were taken out today."

Donghua's body visibly swayed as he stared blankly at Tongtian.

"What's going on, little bro? It sounds like I'm bullying you or something."

Donghua sighed helplessly and invited Tongtian to the Heavenly Realm Dojo.

……

As Donghua departed, the innate treasure Kongtong Seal automatically recognized Fuxi as its master, and all the powerful human fortune was bestowed upon him.

Fuxi's cultivation level began to surge, and he instantly reached the peak of the third level of the Primordial Chaos Realm.

At this time, Yuanshi and Tongtian were still at this level, which shows that Fuxi gained a lot of power in one fell swoop.

This return of human fortune benefited not only Fuxi, but also Taishang, Xuandu, and other Primordial Saints, and many experts were instantly born among the human race.

It seems everyone's won too much.

Fuxi descended from the sky and convened a high-level meeting of the human race.

"Gentlemen, now that Fuxi has achieved his goals, he is rationally stepping down from the position of Human Emperor. I wonder if any of you have someone in mind to recommend him?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately shocked, as they had never imagined that Fuxi would not become the human emperor.

"Your Majesty, how could you abandon us? How could you abandon the human race?"

"His Majesty……"

Everyone began to persuade Fuxi, but some remained unmoved because they knew that Fuxi had to step down.

Being the Human Emperor is no easy task. Most of the fortune of all living beings is bestowed upon one person, which shows how important the Human Emperor is.

Fuxi said directly, "This is the will of Heaven, and it will not change for any individual. I will probably be the longest-reigning human emperor, and future human emperors will all have time limits."

"So it's not that I've left the human race. Whether I am the Human Emperor or not, I am still a member of the human race."

The group then gave up.

When it came to the successors, everyone nominated the Earth Emperor and the Shennong.

Faced with this outcome, the Earth Emperor voluntarily withdrew. Although he longed to become a Human Emperor, he knew his own situation and was well aware of how deep the waters were in this matter.

With the Earthly Sovereign voluntarily withdrawing, Shennong smoothly succeeded him, becoming the Human Sovereign after Fuxi.
