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

The outcome of the Chaos Battle was known to all the powerful beings in the prehistoric world, and Donghua once again refreshed everyone's understanding.

If the First Emperor represented an era of the primordial world, then Rahu was the pinnacle of the primordial world, and could even be said to be invincible in an era. Even Hongjun had to gather four people before daring to confront him head-on.

It's easy to imagine how powerful Luo Hou is, yet he has now lost to Dong Hua in a head-on confrontation, and it was a battle without any skirmishes.

"Do you think the Great Celestial Venerable can defeat the Dao Ancestor?"

Everyone fell silent. No one had thought about this question before, nor had anyone dared to think about it.

After the battle between immortals and demons, Hongjun attained enlightenment and became a saint. He then preached three times at Zixiao Palace, earning the title of Dao Ancestor. Finally, he merged with the Heavenly Dao and manipulated it, making the Heavenly Dao perfect in an instant.

In a sense, Hongjun is equivalent to the Heavenly Dao.

Although he cannot exercise the power of the Heavenly Dao to the fullest extent, he can exercise it to the fullest extent, about 90%. Also, the Heavenly Dao will not approve of anything that Hongjun does not approve of.

In other words, Hongjun may not be able to help you with something, but he can make sure you fail 100% of the time. That's Hongjun's power.

Therefore, in the primordial world, Hongjun's strength was basically negligible, because no one dared to compare with him.

But now it seems that there is one who is slowly challenging the authority of the Dao Ancestor, and a glimmer of hope has emerged, a glimmer of hope that he may defeat Hongjun.

……

In the primordial era, years were not recorded. Ten cycles had passed since Shennong attained enlightenment. During these millions of years, the primordial world was unusually peaceful, and there was little friction between the various forces.

But all of this is the calm before the storm, because Shennong is about to step down from the throne of the human emperor, so various forces have been plotting for many years and are now beginning to stir.

Because both emperors have attained the Primordial Dao, everyone is restless, and no one can resist the temptation of attaining the Primordial Dao.

With the return of some reincarnated individuals, various forces in the prehistoric world have been plotting for many years, all striving for the throne of the third Human Emperor.

The first and second emperors were essentially destined to be emperors; no one could rival Fuxi and Hongyun. However, the third emperor was full of uncertainties because the position of emperor was not guaranteed.

That's why everyone wants to compete!

"Little sister, is the Witch Clan really going to participate in this battle for the Human Emperor?"

In the Nine Netherworld Palace of Reincarnation, Houtu and Xuanming sat upright, but Xuanming's face was full of hesitation.

Houtu said firmly, "Although the Wu Clan occupies the territory and is the main force of the Underworld, we have no other choice this time."

"Among the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man, the human realm is the foundation of the primordial world. As one of the myriad races, the Wu race must return to the primordial continent. This battle for the Human Emperor is the key point."

Xuanming sighed. She was well aware of all this, but the glory of the Wu Clan was no longer what it once was. Although there was the saint Houtu now, the situation in the prehistoric world was different.

With numerous sages in the primordial world and the Heavenly Emperor Donghua suppressing all living beings, is it really appropriate for the Wu Clan to interfere in the affairs of humanity at this time?

"Chi You has successfully reincarnated and is now the leader of the Jiuli tribe of the human race, dominating the southwestern continents and a strong contender for the throne of the Human Emperor."

"Besides Chi You, there is also Xuan Yuan, the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor. This person should not be underestimated. He made the Xuan Yuan tribe the leading force among the human race with his own strength, and he also had the support of Buddhism and Chan Sect behind him."

"As for Chen Du, Shennong's son Yan Ju should not be underestimated. This person is exceptionally talented. Although he is not a primordial saint, he possesses the primordial fire virtue. At a young age, he has already attained the Great Luo Dao and has the support of several quasi-saints of the human race."

At this point, Xuanming sighed. No matter how she calculated it, Chi You's chances of winning were slim. It wasn't that their side was weak, but that the enemy was too powerful.

Houtu smiled nonchalantly and said softly, "Sister Xuanming forgot to count one more person, namely the reincarnation of Emperor Ziwei: Chongguang."

"Chongguang was born with the destiny of an emperor and was blessed with great fortune. He established the Ziwei Tribe in the southern part of the prehistoric world, which has become a major force of the human race. He himself is the high priest of the human race, and can be said to have a high position and great power."

"Moreover, Chongguang is surrounded by a large number of reincarnated beings and various star gods. Although these people are inconspicuous now, they will have unparalleled potential in the long run, and they also have the support of the Tongtian Sect Master behind them."

Xuanming asked, puzzled, "If that's the case, then why does my little sister insist on the involvement of the Witch Clan? This time, even the Demon Clan didn't participate."

"Because of the Investiture of the Gods!"

"Investiture of the Gods?" Xuanming asked, puzzled.

Houtu continued, "The Heavenly Emperor wants to create a great calamity of gods in the prehistoric world, both to delay the immeasurable calamity and to further concentrate the forces of all parties in the prehistoric world in preparation for the final battle against chaos."

"The Investiture of the Gods was a selection process to identify the most outstanding talents and powerful individuals from all sides, thereby filling the vacancies in the Heavenly Court and the Underworld."

Upon hearing this, Xuanming's eyes widened, and he asked incredulously, "A great calamity? Has a new great calamity descended?"

Houtu explained, "To be precise, it was a man-made calamity, a calamity instigated by the Heavenly Emperor. All the Primordial Saints knew about this, and they were all participants, since no one wanted the immeasurable calamity to come."

"So this is a great calamity that everyone wants to participate in, including the demon race. It's just that their relationship with the human race is too bad, so they can't reincarnate to support the human race."

"But I heard that Nuwa went to Qingqiu, so I think the Fox Emperor of Qingqiu might be involved."

Xuanming pondered for a moment after hearing this, and finally said with a sudden realization, "So that's how it is. No wonder all the forces in the prehistoric world have been mobilized. They all want a share of the pie. How could they give up such a good thing as entering the Heavenly Court and becoming a god without any danger?"

Houtu laughed and said, "It is a good thing, but it may not be a good thing. It depends on who is conferred the title of God. After all, once you enter the Investiture of the Gods in the Heavenly Book, you will be like Yuan Jin. You will never have the chance to attain the Dao again. Moreover, you will be subject to the restrictions of the Heavenly Book, the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao, and the orders of the Heavenly Court. The hierarchy is very strict."

"But this also gives all living beings a glimmer of hope. The Heavenly Court now commands the Three Realms, the Primordial Chaos submits, and even the Sages bow their heads. Even those who are enfeoffed as gods after death have the possibility of becoming Quasi-Saints, not to mention the possibility of being enfeoffed as gods in the physical body."

Xuanming asked, "So, sister, you mean that our Wu clan should support Chiyou in his struggle for supremacy, and that those who die in battle will be enshrined as gods in heaven?"

Houtu firmly stated, "Yes, that's what I think too. Among the younger generation of my Wu clan, only Chi You, Xing Tian, ​​and Hou Yi possess exceptional talent and character."

"But Hou Yi and Chang Xi were together, living on the Taiyin Star and not caring about worldly affairs. They no longer wanted to participate in the affairs of the prehistoric world."

"Although Xing Tian is exceptionally talented and has now reached the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint, he is not destined to be an emperor and cannot become the Human Emperor."

"Therefore, only Chi You, and after his reincarnation, I merged a drop of the true blood of the Twelve Ancestral Witches into his body, inheriting the legacy of the Father God, and thus qualified to ask the question of the Human Emperor."

Xuan thought for a moment, and finally said, "Since my little sister has made up her mind, I will support her unconditionally. I hope that my witch clan will not be defeated this time."

Houtu smiled gently: "Sister Xuanming, there is no such thing as a 100% chance of victory in this world. Moreover, according to my calculations, Chiyou's chances of success are slim. This time, the position of Human Emperor is very likely to fall to the Heavenly Emperor."

Xuanming asked, puzzled, "If that's the case, why does my little sister still want to fight Chi You?"

Houtu looked up at the heavens and smiled mysteriously, saying, "Because even if Chi You is defeated, my Wu tribe will not be defeated."

……

In the Heavenly Court, Donghua began his secluded cultivation after defeating Rahu, and he remains in seclusion to this day.

Within Jingyang Palace, the power of the Great Dao's rules manifested, and a world appeared before Donghua like a grain of sand—the Xuanhuang Imperial Realm.

His cultivation level was already at the peak of the fifth level, and he could not advance any further in the Taiji Dao. Now, all he wanted to do was break through to the Tai Su realm.

Tai Su represents the primordial state of the universe, one of the five stages from the transition from Wuji to the birth of heaven and earth, and the fourth of the five primordial Tai states.

The primordial state was the beginning of all things.

Tai Su refers to the beginning of change, which took shape and had substance, but had not yet formed a complete body.

Tai Su is the beginning of matter, which has not yet formed a body. It is the beginning of change and formation. After form comes matter, but it has not yet formed a body. This is a form of primordial chaos.

If Donghua wants to cultivate to the Tai Su realm, he must break through the Xuanhuang Emperor Realm and evolve chaos with his own Dao.

Breaking chaos is easy, breaking heaven and earth is easy, but it is very difficult to evolve chaos based on heaven and earth, because it requires transforming something that already has form into something intangible.

At this time, the Xuanhuang Imperial Realm had been broken open, and the hazy chaotic energy had been born. Donghua's three thousand Great Daos had been integrated into the chaotic energy.

"By starting with a specific point, it seems to work!"

Donghua murmured. This time, he had diligently cultivated the Ten Yuan Society and completed the breakthrough from point to surface at noon, allowing the Xuanhuang Emperor Realm to still generate chaotic energy, which also caused the Emperor Realm to begin to transform into chaos.

Tai Chi - Five Heavens!

Tai Su - Sixth Heaven!

Tai Shi - Seven Heavens!

The Primordial Beginning—Eight Heavens!

Taiyi—Nine Heavens!

This is Donghua's future path of cultivation. As long as he can cultivate to the Taiyi realm, his cultivation will instantly reach the peak of the Ninth Heaven, at which point he will be only one step away from the Great Dao.

The ultimate goal of Hunyuan is the Great Dao Realm, and in fact, one has already come into contact with the Great Dao by reaching the Tai Shi Realm.

The Great Dao here is not a specific Dao, but is itself the Great Dao, just like the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World.

The Tai Shi Realm is about evolving the Great Dao from chaos on the basis of the Tai Su Realm, so that the Great Dao becomes the Tai Shi.

Donghua continued to immerse himself in cultivation, while the Xuanhuang Imperial Realm was rapidly evolving, with the area of ​​chaos growing larger and larger.

This is a difficult process. Every instance of chaos that arises requires Donghua to evolve it using his own Dao.

Time passed gradually.

At this time, the prehistoric world had fully entered the stage of a hundred schools of thought contending, because on this very day, Shennong abdicated the throne of the human emperor.

Heaven bestows merit, and humanity is manifested.

Of the five merits, five flowed to Shennong, two flowed to Xuanming, two were distributed among all living beings, and one fell upon Shennong's spiritual treasure.

Shennong, also known as Hongyun, successfully reached the peak of the second level of cultivation.

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, congratulations!"

Fuxi's figure appeared above Chendu and bowed slightly to the capital.

At this moment, he was full of vigor and his body was filled with Daoist charm. In the auspicious clouds, top-level innate spiritual treasures such as the Shennong Cauldron and merit spiritual treasures were released and released, suppressing the fortune.

Hongyun sighed and said, "After cultivating for countless eons and going through numerous eons, finally achieving perfect merit is truly not easy."

Fuxi laughed heartily. He knew all too well the hardships of attaining enlightenment. Hongyun's path to enlightenment was difficult, and his was no easier either.

"Fellow Daoist, do you wish to travel to the Heavenly Realm or reside in the Fire Cloud Cave?"

Hongyun thought for a moment and said, "I'll go to the Heavenly Realm later. The Great Heavenly Venerable is currently in seclusion for cultivation, so I won't disturb him."

"Now that the primordial world has undergone great changes, I wish to reopen the Fire Cloud Cave and make it the boundary of my human race."

Fuxi clapped his hands and praised, "Excellent! In that case, I will also set up a cave dwelling in the Fire Cloud Cave."

"It is my great fortune that you have come, fellow Daoist!"

The two quickly settled a series of matters.

At this moment, Hongyun summoned the supreme treasure, the Kongtong Seal, and looked down at Ziwei, Yanju, Xuanyuan, and Chiyou.

These four are not only the chieftains of major human tribes, but also high-ranking members of the human race. The next human emperor will be chosen from among them.

Hongyun's gaze finally settled on Xuanyuan, as the Human Emperor he favored was actually Xuanyuan.

Although his son Yanju is exceptionally talented and resourceful, he is powerless to become the last emperor. Even with his support, he would surely be devoured by the crowd in the end.

Ziwei is born to be an emperor. He could not only become the human emperor, but also the heavenly emperor. However, he has just been reincarnated. Even with the blessing of the heavenly Dao and the protection of the Tongtian Sect Master, it is extremely difficult for him to win the human emperor in the current prehistoric world.

Chi You possessed the power of the earth, the fortune of the earth, and was accompanied by the fortune of humanity and the blessing of the heavens, making him seem like a born human emperor.

But precisely because of this, Hongyun couldn't understand Chiyou. He could understand the blessings bestowed upon him by the Earthly Dao and the Human Dao, but he couldn't understand the blessing bestowed upon him by the Heavenly Dao.

"Could it be that the Great Celestial Venerable favors Chi You as the next Human Emperor?"

Thinking of this, Hongyun shook his head secretly. He felt that this was impossible. Donghua had told him that the last Human Emperor must be a pure human, without any causal involvement, otherwise the future development of humanity would be limited.

Although Chi You was a human in this life and will remain a human in the future, he carries the karma of the Wu tribe, which cannot be understood through reincarnation.

Only Xuanyuan is the most suitable Human Emperor. Compared with the previous few, he seems ordinary, but he is the destined Human Emperor, an existence recognized by Donghua and the Six Saints.

Although there were some changes, this still cannot erase the legitimacy of Xuanyuan, because Donghua also agreed.

Strength is the only true measure of legitimacy!

Most importantly, among these people, Xuanyuan has obtained the most human power, which clearly indicates that human power also favors Xuanyuan to become the human emperor.

"Xuanyuan could be the next Human Emperor!"

As Hongyun finished speaking, the Kongtong Seal in her hand flew out, transforming into nine dragons that circled around it before finally landing on Xuanyuan's head.
