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

When Shennong asked him, Ao Guang shook his head, genuinely having no clue about the sudden upheaval in the sea eye.

Most importantly, it is now very difficult for him to enter the eye of the sea; if he is not careful, he could perish inside.

That's why they sought help from the human race and the Heavenly Court.

Unexpectedly, this matter even attracted the attention of imperial relatives, and from the Heavenly Court, Haotian and Yaochi, two of the Five Gods, also arrived.

It's clear that both sides attach great importance to this!

After a brief discussion, the four of them set off for the eye of the sea to see what was going on.

Just after the group entered the sea eye, a figure appeared in the East China Sea. It was none other than the Supreme Heart Demon, one of the Three Thousand Heavenly Demons.

"Is he the reincarnation of Zhulong?"

The inner demon looked at the Candle Dragon who was cultivating, murmured something, and then immediately made a move, using its quasi-saint cultivation to forcibly interfere with the Candle Dragon, and finally succeeded in bewitching its mind.

The person is still Zhulong, but their mind has been lost, and they have amplified certain aspects of Zhulong's emotions to the extreme.

"Go, go! Now the human race is intimidating all other races and wants to penetrate the four seas and occupy the dragon race's territory. Only by killing her can we extinguish Shennong's ambition."

"Kill her."

As Zhulong watched the girl playing in the East Sea, a series of thoughts surfaced in his mind.

A sinister glint flashed in his eyes, and the Purple Lightning Divine Spear suddenly appeared in his hand. A purple light flashed, and the spear moved like a dragon, accompanied by divine thunder.

"boom!"

The spear's edge pierced through the little girl!

Upon witnessing this scene, the inner demon laughed heartily and then immediately left the East Sea.

This is not the territory of the demons, and besides, the Human Emperor Shennong and the two gods of the Heavenly Court are also here. He doesn't want to die inexplicably.

The inner demon thought his act was flawless, but two figures on the Ziwei Star in the starry sky saw it all clearly.

"After so many years, Rahu's methods haven't improved at all; he still only knows how to play these despicable tricks."

Donghua smiled dismissively; the Demon Ancestor was still the same familiar Demon Ancestor.

The Queen Mother of the West replied, "It is indeed quite despicable, but it really works."

"The daughter of the Human Emperor, the reincarnation of Zhulong, neither side will abandon her. But since they won't abandon her, there must be an explanation. So the only option is war."

Donghua sighed and said, "That's true!"

"Get ready, Rahu should be appearing soon. I estimate he will take action personally, but I don't know if it will be an incarnation or his true form."

At this moment, at the eye of the East Sea, Haotian, Yaochi, Shennong, Xuanming, Ao Guang and others gazed at the eye of the sea that was stirring up towering waves, where a terrifying power was accumulating.

Haotian frowned. This situation was very rare. The only possibility was that there was a problem with the ancestral dragon that was suppressing the sea eye.

With a wave of his right hand, the Haotian Tower rose into the wind, instantly covering the sea eye. Boundless power burst forth and pressed down, instantly turning the towering waves of the sea eye into nothingness.

"Haotian Mirror, appear."

A golden light flashed, and the Haotian Mirror shone into the sea eye, transmitting the situation inside.

"How could this happen?"

"How could it be Senior Zulong!"

"Lord Zulong..."

The shock of the group was indescribable, because what appeared before them was the Ancestral Dragon stirring up the sea eye, seemingly trying to break free from its seal.

Although Shennong did not know what had happened, he decisively said:

"We can't wait any longer. If the Ancestral Dragon continues to cause destruction, the Sea Eye might really erupt. At that time, the waters of the four seas will cover the prehistoric world, which will be an unprecedented disaster."

Upon hearing this, Ao Guang became anxious. With the world undergoing great changes, the Ancestral Dragon and others might return. If they were to be completely suppressed at this critical juncture, there would be no chance of anything else.

"Let's think of other ways. Something must have happened to Lord Zulong, otherwise he would never have stirred up the sea eye at this time."

Haotian, standing to the side, was not in a hurry at all. He carefully examined the true form of the Ancestral Dragon, as if searching for something.

"Don't worry, even if the Ancestral Dragon wanted to break the current Sea Eye, it wouldn't be easy, let alone even if he really broke the seal, the current era is no longer the ancient era."

"The Heavenly Emperor shines upon the Three Realms, and the Sages act on behalf of Heaven to wield the talisman. Suppressing the Ancestral Dragon and the Sea Eye would be a piece of cake."

The group nodded in affirmation. It was indeed no longer the ancient era. Back then, the suppression of earth, fire, water, and wind was gone, and the three of them transformed into Dao, leaving only their true forms to suppress the elements.

Now that the Heavenly Emperor and the Sage are here, it seems that they are indeed easy to deal with. Thinking of this, the worries on everyone's faces disappeared.

Times have changed!

But Ao Guang's worried expression remained the same, after all, the one going mad inside was his ancestor, the Dragon Clan's faith.

"Why don't we go in and take a look? The true form of the Ancestral Dragon is suppressing the sea eye, which is restricted by the Heavenly Dao. Unless there are special circumstances, it will never be like this."

Ao Guang quietly offered a suggestion: he wouldn't dare go in alone, but with these people around, he wouldn't be afraid at all.

Haotian nodded: "Fellow Daoist Ao Guang is right. In any case, we still have to go in and take a look."

Shennong had no objection: "Alright, I agree."

Then, the group worked together to open a gap in the sea eye and flew into it.

As soon as Haotian entered the sea eye, he immediately sensed that something was wrong. This place was different from a normal sea eye; it gave people a feeling of heavy pressure. Under the scan of his divine eye, the visibility was very low.

"Everyone be careful, the situation here is unclear."

Xuanming immediately summoned the Twelve-Petaled Pure White Lotus to protect his head, and Haotian also summoned the Haotian Pagoda to protect his head, while Shennong summoned the precious Kongtong Seal.

Each person used different methods, and they moved forward slowly.

"Oh no, there's demonic energy!"

As soon as they ventured deeper, Xuanming cried out urgently. Judging from the feedback from the Pure World White Lotus, there was a thick layer of demonic energy ahead of them.

Haotian frowned and said, "Let's go, let's leave this place. Since there is demonic energy here, it must be related to Rahu. This is no longer something we can handle. Let's go back and report to the Great Heavenly Venerable."

The group nodded and immediately left.

Just then, a black lotus appeared behind them, and the group immediately summoned their magical treasures and formed a battle array.

The black lotus shimmered with light before transforming into a dark shadow.

"Indra!"

Haotian exclaimed in surprise, he never expected that it was actually Di Shitian who appeared here.

Although the visitor was Di Shitian, Haotian and the others did not dare to be careless at all, as his cultivation was absolutely unparalleled below the Hunyuan level.

Among them, Haotian's cultivation level is at the late Quasi-Saint stage, Yaochi's is at the mid Quasi-Saint stage, Shennongshi, although he has the supreme treasure Kongtong Seal, is only at the Taiyi Golden Immortal stage, and Xuanming is at the peak of the Daluo Golden Immortal stage.

Di Shitian glanced at the group, said nothing, and immediately took action. The Black Lotus of Annihilation appeared, and three thousand black lotuses instantly materialized in the surrounding space.

Each black lotus represents a great path!

With a single clench of his hand, Indra caused three thousand black lotuses to move simultaneously, instantly forming an array that trapped everyone inside.

Faced with such an attack, the group seemed powerless and had no good way to deal with it.

Haotian channeled his boundless magical power, imbuing the Haotian Mirror with the power of the Emperor's Great Dao. A beam of light flashed and struck the array formed by the black lotus.

"Buzz!"

This attack, which was powerful enough to kill an ordinary quasi-saint, seemed to hit the surface of water without causing any damage.

The Haotian Sword appeared. Haotian held the sword in one hand, activating all the Great Daos, including the Emperor's Great Dao, the Yin-Yang Great Dao, the Five Elements Great Dao, and the Creation Great Dao, before unleashing a single sword strike.

The sword energy surged for billions of miles, vast and boundless.

Indra smiled slightly, formed a hand seal, and released boundless demonic light from the three thousand black lotuses, while the three thousand Great Daos simultaneously suppressed it down.

"boom!"

The endless sword energy and sword light shattered instantly and disappeared into nothingness.

"town!"

As Di Shitian uttered his word, three thousand black lotuses converged into a towering spear shadow, directly suppressing Haotian.

"fall!"

The Haotian Tower rose up, resisting the suppression of the Black Lotus, as if it wanted to suppress it in return.

The moment Haotian Tower and the spear shadow collided, Haotian Tower was knocked to the ground, and the spear shadow was about to hit Haotian Tower.

Yaochi immediately made her move, her golden hairpin flashing as if a rift had been torn open in space and time.

"bump!"

The two great forces collided and then vanished into nothingness.

Everyone looked at Di Shitian in astonishment. Although they knew he was strong, they did not expect him to be this strong. His strength definitely exceeded the Quasi-Saint realm.

"Interesting!" Indra was slightly incredulous to see that his attack had been blocked by the two of them.

"You two fellow Daoists are indeed worthy of being called Hongjun Boys and Heavenly Emperors; you do possess some strength, but before me, you are no match!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Shitian unleashed his full power, waving his hands to send three thousand black lotuses crashing down.

Haotian and Yaochi felt immense pressure, as if facing the three thousand black lotuses was like facing the three thousand Great Daos.

A black lotus descended, and Haotian tried to block it with his sword, but the Haotian sword was suppressed by the black lotus.

Another black lotus descended, suppressing the Haotian Tower and the Haotian Mirror.

Upon seeing this, Haotian immediately shouted, "I'll cover your retreat; you all must leave this place immediately."

As soon as he finished speaking, Haotian unleashed his full power, and a Dharma Image appeared. The Emperor Dharma Image carried nine true dragons of fortune and punched upwards.

"break!"

One punch, and all laws are destroyed!

Haotian shattered the Black Lotus's suppression with a single punch.

"Now's the time, let's go!"

Without any hesitation, the group escaped through the gap opened by Haotian, except for Yaochi, who remained in place.

"Senior brother, last time Yaochi left you, this time we will live and die together!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yaochi went all out to help suppress the Black Lotus of Haotian.

But Indra, standing before him, chuckled and shook his head. "You don't actually think they can escape, do you? How naive!"

"Give me the town!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the three thousand black lotuses merged together, eventually forming two enormous black lotuses that pressed down upon him.

Under the attack of this black lotus, Haotian and Yaochi felt all laws fall silent, and their magic power, Dao, and primordial spirit were all imprisoned.

"Buzz!"

Two black lotuses landed on the heads of the two, sealing away their cultivation.

Di Shitian chuckled lightly, and did nothing more to the two of them. Instead, he moved swiftly, bringing them behind Shennong.

At this moment, a massive, chaotic, dark-colored divine dragon blocked their path; it was the true form of the Ancestral Dragon that suppressed the Sea Eye.

Above Zu Long's head stood a young man in black, his hands behind his back, facing the crowd.

"Greetings, Master!" Indra exclaimed softly.

Luo Hou gave a soft "hmm," and then said, "Go back now. All eyes in the primordial world are on this place. It's time for you to prove your Dao."

After Luo Hou finished speaking, he casually tossed an object to Di Shitian, "This is the manifestation of the fortune that the Ancestral Dragon used to suppress the sea eye. The fortune that has suppressed the sea eye for countless eons is enough for you to break through to the Hunyuan realm."

Indra accepted it casually, bid farewell, and left the place, returning to the Nine Netherworld Demon Realm.

"After countless years of arduous cultivation, it is time for me to attain enlightenment."

Emperor Shitian sat on the Black Lotus of Annihilation, with seventy percent of the Demon Realm's fortune gathered around him, and the fortune accumulated by the Ancestral Dragon over countless years was also refined by him.

His body was surrounded by the perfected Three Thousand Great Daos, and boundless demonic light filled the world. The Three Thousand Great Daos were condensed into the Great Dao of the Primordial Spirit.

The Great Dao of the Primordial Spirit is the Great Dao that Indra (the Supreme Deity) primarily cultivates.

With a flick of his finger, the River of Time appeared, merging his past, present, and future into one, and even bringing back all of Di Jun's memories.

"Regardless of who I was before, I am now only Indra, not the so-called Di Jun!"

With the emergence of the river of time and space, Indra's journey to enlightenment officially begins!

Meanwhile, in a palace in the Demon Realm, Jingyang, the evil corpse of Donghua, gazed at the changes in the Demon Realm and murmured:

"Could this be Rahu's scheme, all for the sake of Indra's enlightenment? That's incredibly petty!"

"No matter what, Rahu has already appeared. Whether he is an incarnation or his true form, this time we will make sure he never returns."

Jingyang chuckled lightly: "However, that's something my main body should be concerned with. What I need to do is compete with Emperor Shitian and see how you prove your Dao."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jingyang disappeared from the spot and headed alone to the top of the Demon Realm where Di Shitian was located.

"Huh, I didn't expect it would be you stopping me!"

Just as Jingyang was walking forward, a figure blocked his way. The one who came was none other than the evil corpse of Yuanshi Tianzun, Yuanshi Tianmo!

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Jingyang. We are both evil corpses of our original forms. Although I cannot defeat you, I can still stop you. How about we have a duel? Whether Di Shitian can attain Dao depends entirely on his luck and strength. What do you say?"

Jingyang pondered for a moment, unsure how to answer, because what the Primordial Heavenly Demon said was true; no matter how powerful his true form was, he was merely one of the three corpses.

In terms of strength, he should be at the peak of the second level, while the Primordial Heavenly Demon should be at the peak of the first level or just entering the second level.

The Three Corpses Technique was created by Hongjun after he attained enlightenment. It is a method for achieving sainthood by merging with the Heavenly Dao, and it is also a method of combat.

If we were to rank all the methods in the world, the method of severing the three corpses would definitely be number one, but even the most powerful method is still just a method.

After Donghua broke through to the fourth level of the Heavenly Realm, he felt that the Three Corpses Technique could no longer keep up with him.

The Fourth Heaven is a watershed in the Primordial Chaos Realm. Strictly speaking, the upper limit of the Three Corpses Technique is the peak of the Third Heaven.

Unless Donghua finds a new path in the Three Corpses Method and creates a new Three Corpses Method.

Jingyang said indifferently, "I have no objection. Anyway, I haven't received any instructions from the main body. Obstructing Di Shitian's attainment of enlightenment is only for my own benefit in the Demon Realm."

"Previously, in order to counter Rahu's consciousness in the Heavenly Dao, I was unable to go all out against Indra. I never expected that he would actually become a force to be reckoned with and that he would one day attain enlightenment."

With a casual wave of his hand, the Primordial Heavenly Demon summoned a set of Dao chess pieces, and the two sat down quietly.

Jingyang, holding a chess piece, asked, "Now that you've appeared here, your true form should have broken free from its seal in the primordial world, right? Was it Rahu who made the move?"

The Primordial Demon shook his head and said, "Today we won't discuss the situation in the primordial world. What his true form chooses is his business. Once the orders are given, we just need to execute them. I don't want to think about the rest. Anyway, I'm just a wicked corpse!"

Jingyang laughed and said, "That's right, that's right. We're just evil corpses. Who knows when we'll return to our original forms? Why think so much?"

The two played chess, exchanging blows, and the grand strategies were effortlessly mastered in their hands. Although they were playing chess, they were also engaged in a battle.

At the summit of the Demon Realm, after merging his three bodies into one, Indra saw no one come to stop him. He then calmed his mind and fully entered the River of Destiny, beginning his final journey of breaking through the Dao.

……

In the starry sky above the Purple Star, Donghua calmly said, "I never expected that the arrogant Primordial Celestial Venerable would choose to cooperate with Rahu. How interesting."

In this scheme, Donghua was not surprised by anyone's appearance; everyone has their own choices and path.

"Junior sister, I'll have to trouble you to stay and oversee the Heavenly Realm. I'm going to meet Rahu."

The Queen Mother of the West nodded and said, "Brother, don't worry. I'm here in the Heavenly Realm. You must be careful though. Rahu is no benevolent person. If he dares to make a move, he must be confident in his abilities."

Donghua nodded and then disappeared into the starry sky.

On the East Sea, Donghua suddenly appeared before the reincarnation of Zhulong.

"Who are you?" Zhulong stood there holding his spear.

Donghua shook his head, looking at Zhulong who had already fallen into the demonic path, and said:

"I didn't expect that even after reincarnation, you still harbor such deep thoughts about the rise of the dragon race. Aren't the dragon race rising day by day? Aren't you satisfied?"

The reincarnation of Zhulong roared, "What do you know? Although the dragon race seems powerful now, it is nothing but a reflection in a mirror and the moon in the water, nothing but a dream."

"Humans covet the four seas and even attempt to confine the dragons there. As mascots of humanity, how can we accept this fate?"

"Therefore, only the birth of the First Dragon can fight against humanity and save us from suffering!"

Donghua laughed and said, "This is what Luo Hou is trying to entice you into thinking you are so naive. Even if there were ten Ancestral Dragons, let alone one, they wouldn't be able to change the current situation in the prehistoric world."

"The three innate races—dragon, phoenix, and qilin—were the three earliest races to emerge in the primordial world. The fusion of the human and dragon races is also my intention."

"I?" Zhulong asked in confusion, only then realizing who the person in front of him was.

There are many emperors in the primordial world, but only one person calls himself "朕" (Zhen, meaning "I" or "I"), and that is the Heavenly Emperor, the Great Heavenly Venerable Donghua.

No one else dares to call themselves that!

Zhulong stubbornly insisted, "The merging of the human and dragon races will only hasten the demise of the dragon race. What benefit would that bring to the dragon race?"

If the dragon race were strong, he would definitely be willing to merge with humans. But now that the human race is strong, merging with humans would mean that the human race would devour the dragon race. If he is not careful, he will be eaten clean by the human race.

After all, in the primordial world, it has always been a case of big fish eating small fish, and small fish eating shrimp. The fusion of humans and dragons may seem to have many benefits for the dragon race, but in reality, it is gradually jeopardizing the dragon race's future.

"Why did the First Emperor forge the Dragon Gate back then?"

Upon hearing this, Zhulong was speechless. Back then, the Ancestral Dragon created the Dragon Gate to increase the number of dragons and thus deal with the other two races.

Secondly, it is also the concept of the First Dragon: everyone is like a dragon, everyone is a dragon, and all living beings can become dragons!

And this is also the imperial way of the First Emperor!

Donghua continued, "I admire Zulong's viewpoint. Isn't the fusion of humans and dragons an extension of this concept? Everyone is a dragon!"

"Therefore, your definition of the dragon race is too narrow, so narrow that it is merely a single race."

Upon hearing this, Zhulong was overwhelmed with various thoughts, making it difficult for him to make a decision, and he was torn between his own mind and his own will.

Seeing this, Donghua knew the time had come, and suddenly pointed a finger at Zhulong's forehead:

"Aren't you awake yet!"

The power of the Great Dao flowed into the body of the Candle Dragon, and the purification law instantly allowed the Candle Dragon to enter the Dao.

After a burst of light, Zhulong broke free from his inner demon state, and in an instant, supreme power gathered around him.

The river of time and space emerges!

With the past, present, and future united, and the two worlds united, Zhulong successfully broke through to the Great Luo realm.

Zhulong has officially been reincarnated and returned!

Subsequently, his cultivation level soared, and the powers of the Immortal Path, the Divine Path, and the Demonic Path emerged within Zhulong's body, while the Great Dao of Time quietly descended.

The Great Luo Golden Immortal: Early Stage, Middle Stage, Late Stage, and Peak Stage!

Quasi-Saint Realm, early and middle stages!

He used demonic thoughts to sever the evil corpse and broke through to the late stage of Quasi-Saint once again!

Thus, Zhulong was reincarnated and returned, successfully breaking through to the late stage of Quasi-Saint.

"Your Majesty, the sinful subject Zhulong pays respects!" Zhulong immediately bowed after realizing what had happened.

Donghua waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's alright, it's alright. I'm very happy that you've returned."

Zhulong said sadly, "It was my immaturity that allowed Rahu to take advantage of my weakness, which led me to commit such a heinous crime. I will explain the situation to the Human Emperor and give an explanation for Nüwa's death."

"Hahaha, look who's that?"

Following Donghua's gaze, the girl who had died suddenly became illusory and then disappeared into the primordial world. At that moment, a new girl appeared.

Donghua joked, "You don't actually think you can kill someone right under my nose, do you?"

Zhulong said awkwardly, "Indeed, now that Your Majesty has attained the Dao of Hunyuan and achieved the supreme position of Heavenly Emperor, you are undoubtedly the number one person in the prehistoric world."

"It's a pity that I didn't witness Your Majesty's coronation; it must have been an epic ceremony."

At this point, the room fell silent.

For Donghua, the fall of Zhulong and Yunzhongjun was an eternal pain in his heart. Yunzhongjun was an elder of the Purple Mansion who followed Donghua in battles all the way back to the ancient era.

When Zhulong was in danger, he chose to ally with Zifu and eventually completely submitted to Zifu.

Fortunately, both of them have now been successfully reincarnated.

"Whether we were there at that moment or not is irrelevant. We have come all the way from the Purple Mansion to where the Heavenly Court is today thanks to your help. You are the greatest contributors, and this is a fact that no one can forget."

Zhulong shook his head dismissively and said, "Whether it was the Purple Mansion era or the current Heavenly Court, Your Majesty is the core. It is precisely because of Your Majesty's existence that we, your humble servants, have achieved our success."

Throughout history, countless people have possessed extraordinary talents, but only a handful have survived to this day. Therefore, it is Your Majesty who has made us who we are today.

"It's a case of mutual benefit!" Donghua sighed.

If he had never been to this world, then these people would indeed have been fleeting figures. Whether it was Zhulong, Yunzhongjun, or others, they would all have perished in the great calamity, without even the chance to be reincarnated.

Perhaps their return will be during an immeasurable eon, but even the primordial world may not exist during such an immeasurable eon. Apart from the Primordial Saints, everyone is likely to perish, let alone these reincarnated individuals.

Just as Donghua and Zhulong were chatting, strange phenomena appeared in the Nine Netherworld Demon Realm of the Primordial World.

Indra attained sainthood! (End of Chapter)
