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

Shennong, having achieved perfect merit, opened up a world in Huoyun Cave. From then on, Huoyun Cave ceased to exist, becoming Huoyun World, which can also be called the ancestral realm of the human race.

After Hongyun and Fuxi established their dojo in Huoyun Cave, the human race followed their ancestors and flocked to the Huoyun World. Among them were many quasi-saints, such as Suiren, Zhisheng, and Youchao.

For Xuanyuan, who had just ascended to the throne, this approach had both advantages and disadvantages.

The good thing is that it became much easier for him to seize power, and some people from the Xuanyuan tribe instantly became high-ranking members of the human race.

The downside is that his power has weakened, and he no longer has the support of many people like Fuxi and Shennong when they first ascended the throne.

However, Xuanyuan was full of confidence, called himself the Yellow Emperor, and began to promote his ideas and govern the human race.

Furthermore, a Humanitarian Conference was convened to select outstanding talents from among all races. Among them, Yinglong, a dragon prodigy, stood out and followed Xuanyuan.

There were also demon prodigies like Gui Yu, and human prodigies like Feng Hou and Li Mu who followed Xuan Yuan. Even the White Tiger clan, which had been out of the public eye for a long time, came to join them.

In an instant, the name of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan resounded throughout the prehistoric world. Wherever he went, flowers bloomed and beasts bowed their heads. Even some innate gods and quasi-saints treated the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan with utmost respect.

Although this human emperor was only at the Taiyi realm, no one dared to underestimate him.

With the precedents of Fuxi and Hongyun, no one knew whether this Human Emperor could attain enlightenment.

After Xuanyuan ascended the throne, Yanju left Chendu, no longer held any position, and returned to the Eastern Shennong tribe, where he established his own power and proclaimed himself Emperor Yan.

Although Emperor Yan did not openly rebel, he obeyed the orders of Emperor Huang of Chendu but not his proclamations, and focused on developing his own power.

During this period, many forces came to join, and some outstanding human talents joined Emperor Yan's forces.

Meanwhile, Chi You returned to his stronghold, the Jiuli tribe, and began to rapidly expand his power. He withdrew all his forces from the south, using the west as the boundary, and entered the northern continent.

Meanwhile, the southern continent was completely occupied by the Ziwei tribe. Chongguang, the reincarnation of the Ziwei Emperor, was exceptionally talented, and many ancient forces joined his cause.

Thus, a new prehistoric order was formed. Although the human race occupied the prehistoric continent, it felt like the world was divided into four parts.

……

Time flies by, and three cycles have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the capital of Chen, the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan looked at the messages from all sides that had come to him, his face extremely gloomy.

"Am I truly unworthy of this position?"

He was initially full of confidence, but he became increasingly worried. He didn't know what was going on. Neither of the previous two emperors had experienced such a thing, but with him, there were numerous rebellions.

Of all the factions, Chi You aspired to be the Human Emperor even more than he did, and his subordinates included countless extraordinary individuals and brilliant talents.

Ziwei Chongguang was born to be an emperor, favored by the Heavenly Dao, and blessed by the power of the stars. The power of Ziwei flowed continuously to him, and the cultivation of his subordinates improved day by day.

Emperor Yanju was favored by all sides of the human race, and many human experts joined the Emperor Yan Alliance, making it even more powerful than their own side.

"Teacher, what should I do?"

Inside the main hall, standing beside the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan was a Taoist priest in white robes, Guang Chengzi, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, and also the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan's teacher.

Originally, the position of the third teacher of the Human Emperor was to be held by a Buddhist monk. However, Yuanshi Tianzun unexpectedly rose to prominence and successfully broke free from his seal during the last battle between Donghua and Rahu. After some planning, the position of the third teacher of the Human Emperor was ultimately given to Guangchengzi.

When Guang Chengzi heard Xuanyuan's question, he felt a headache coming on. Fuxi unified the human race, and the human race became the protagonist of heaven and earth. No force in the prehistoric world dared to compete with the human race.

Therefore, Xuanming easily amassed a large amount of merit as the teacher of the Human Emperor, and finally successfully broke through to the Quasi-Saint level and severed his corpse.

But now that it's his turn, war has broken out again on all sides. Although there are no external rebellions, the internal struggles within the human race are anything but easy.

Most importantly, according to Master Yuanshi, the Heavenly Emperor is going to use the merits of the Human Emperor to push forward the Great Tribulation in order to complete the Investiture of the Gods. This is undoubtedly adding insult to injury!

However, he had no choice. Among the three sects of Xuanmen, Xuandu of the Human Sect had long since broken through to the Quasi-Saint realm, and now he heard that he had successfully severed his corpse.

Meanwhile, on the Jie Sect's side, Xuanming also broke through to the Quasi-Saint realm and successfully severed his corpse. It is said that Duobao, Jinling, and Wudang are also about to break through to the Quasi-Saint realm.

On the other hand, only the eldest disciple of the Chan Sect, Nanji, had barely broken through to the Quasi-Saint realm and had not yet managed to sever his corpse.

Therefore, Guang Chengzi was under great pressure this time. After thinking it over, he bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, what is a human emperor? A human emperor should have the ambition to encompass the four seas and conquer the eight wastelands."

"Now that Ziwei Chongguang, Chiyou, Yanju, and others are not loyal to Your Majesty, we should take swift and decisive action and launch a military campaign against them!"

"Boom!" Guang Chengzi's words exploded in Xuanyuan's heart like thunder from the heavens. This approach was really bold, but it was undeniably the most in line with his interests.

This was actually what he was thinking.

"But with our current strength, we can defeat one side, it would be difficult to defeat two sides, and we would undoubtedly lose if we attacked three sides. Teacher, could you teach me?"

Xuanyuan's voice was calm and his attitude was humble, because he knew that he could not fight against the four forces on his own.

Only by binding the Chan Sect and other forces to him and giving them their full support can he accomplish this.

Guang Chengzi lightly flicked his whisk, bowed, and said, "The entire Chan Sect is willing to obey the Emperor's command, to punish the disobedient, and to follow Your Majesty in creating the Xuanyuan Era."

Xuanyuan clapped his hands and praised, "Excellent! Such a great thing! The Chan Sect has not failed me, Xuanyuan, and the human race, and I, Xuanyuan, and the human race will certainly not fail the Chan Sect."

After the two finalized their plan, Guang Chengzi left Chendu and headed straight for Kunlun Mountain. He wanted to report the matter to Yuanshi Tianzun and also invite his fellow disciples and followers of the Chan Sect to come down the mountain.

As a major sect of the Xuanmen, the Chan Sect is not limited to the so-called Twelve Golden Immortals. Its vassal forces and members are countless, and it also controls countless worlds.

It should be noted that after the Western Kunlun forces were incorporated into the Purple Mansion, the entire Kunlun Mountain came under the control of the Three Pure Ones.

Meanwhile, the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan left Chendu and headed to Huoyun Cave.

Since he was going to conquer all directions, he had to gain the support of Fuxi and Shennong, otherwise the matter would certainly not succeed.

Xuanyuan had just entered the Fire Cloud Cave when he got bored and started waiting for Fuxi and Shennong.

"We are aware of your purpose, but this is an internal conflict among humans. We will not interfere, otherwise it would disrupt the rules, and once the rules are broken, they are difficult to establish again."

"But you are the third emperor we have chosen, and there will definitely be support from others."

"I have discussed with the Emperor and will give you thirty-six Great Golden Immortals. These thirty-six people will obey your orders and serve as your guardian deities."

Shennong's words were cold, but they were within Xuanyuan's expectations. After all, the original intention of establishing the Fire Cloud World was to avoid interfering with the internal operation of the human race.

"Thank you both, Your Majesties. I am deeply grateful!"

The three chatted for a while, and then Xuanyuan left the Fire Cloud World and arrived at the Heavenly Court.

Xuanyuan knew very well that the support of Fuxi and Shennong only gave him a sense of righteousness; what truly determined whether he could conquer the world was the Heavenly Emperor Donghua.

If the Heavenly Emperor is not satisfied with him, no matter how hard he tries, it will be useless.

After Xuanyuan entered the Heavenly Realm, Donghua's incarnation, Chunyang, came to his side.

"Human Xuanyuan greets the Great Celestial Venerable."

Chunyang slightly raised his hand and said, "No need for formalities. I am currently in seclusion and cannot personally receive the Human Emperor. Please forgive me."

Xuanyuan hurriedly said, "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare delay the Great Celestial Venerable's cultivation."

They were very satisfied with the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan Donghua. Although he did not have the same background as Fuxi and Shennong, he was in no way inferior in terms of personality and talent.

Most importantly, this person is decisive in killing, yet possesses a heart of utmost kindness; he is truly a born emperor.

In fact, among the Three Sovereigns, the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan had a far greater influence than Fuxi and Shennong. Even among the Five Emperors who followed, several were descendants of Xuanyuan.

In a sense, Xuanyuan dominated the human race simply by virtue of his bloodline.

"I already know your purpose in coming. This time, the Heavenly Court, as a third party, cannot openly support anyone as the holder of the Heavenly Book and the Investiture of the Gods, otherwise it would be unfair."

"But I also had reasons why you were able to reincarnate in your previous life, so I also recognize your position as the Human Emperor. However, it will be extremely difficult for you to attain the Primordial Chaos Realm. You may not be able to have the right timing, location, or people. So you can only rely on yourself."

Xuanyuan quickly bowed and said, "I dare not trouble you, teacher. With this promise, I will certainly live up to your expectations."

Donghua hummed in agreement, then pointed a finger, and a purple light flashed, revealing an object in Xuanyuan's hand.

"This is a supreme treasure of the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Book of Investiture of the Gods, and a key item in this Investiture of the Gods. Although it is not a supreme treasure of innate nature, its offensive and defensive capabilities are no weaker than those of a supreme treasure. I hereby temporarily bestow this treasure upon you, hoping that you can accomplish this great task of Investiture of the Gods."

Xuanyuan respectfully accepted the Heavenly Book of Investiture of the Gods and said excitedly, "Thank you, teacher, thank you, Great Heavenly Venerable."

It's safe, completely safe!

This is a true reflection of Xuanyuan's inner thoughts. With this heavenly book, he can seize the opportune moment. With the support of Fuxi and Shennong, and the fact that he is currently the Human Emperor, he is equivalent to having the support of the people. So now all that is lacking is the right place.

"I may very well attain the Primordial Chaos Realm!"

Donghua continued, "Now you have the White Tiger Clan and the Yinglong Clan under your command. I will also command the Vermilion Bird Clan from the Phoenix Clan, the Azure Dragon Clan from the Dragon Clan, and the Black Tortoise Clan. With the support of these four sacred beast clans, you will surely achieve great things."

The Heavenly Court now has many subordinates, and the Four Sacred Beast Clans are outside the Heavenly Court, but they also obey the Heavenly Court's orders. However, they do not have much interaction, so it is most appropriate for them to support Xuanyuan.

"Besides that, you are still missing a general to train troops. I have ordered the Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Army, Emperor Tianxuan, and the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden to train troops for you, but she cannot fight for you."

What a pleasant surprise! What a pleasant surprise!

I thought that obtaining the Heavenly Book of Gods would be the biggest gain of this trip, but I never expected to receive such strong support.

As expected, only the squeaky wheel gets the grease. If he hadn't come to the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Emperor would never have given him these things; he would have just waited for things to develop further.

Indeed, this is true. Although Donghua is optimistic about Xuanyuan, he will not rush to give him gifts. Moreover, whoever becomes the Human Emperor now has no impact on him.

Whether Xuanyuan wins, Chiyou wins, or either Yandi or Ziwei becomes the human emperor, it's all the same to him.

But now that Xuanyuan has personally come to him seeking refuge, he must show sincerity and accept this human emperor.

Donghua murmured, "A new calamity of the Investiture of the Gods has begun!"

In the Jade Pool, the Queen Mother of the West gazed at Xuanyuan, who had left the Heavenly Court, and then pointed a finger, unleashing an endless torrent of divine punishment.

In Jingyang Palace, Donghua gathered the power to destroy the world and refined the Divine Rebellion Origin he had previously seized, turning it into the purest power of the Great Calamity.

Following the actions of Donghua and Xiwangmu, the other Hunyuan Saints also joined the fray.

At this moment, all the Primordial Saints—Taishang, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Nuwa, Jieyin Zhunti, Houtu, Styx, Fuxi, Shennong, Rahu, and Indra—made their move.

In an instant, the power of the Great Calamity was pushed to its peak, spreading to all parts of the primordial world.

In the netherworld, Houtu looked down at the group of Wu Clan cultivators and said, "A new calamity has arrived. This time, the Wu Clan has come out of seclusion to fully support Chi You in his struggle for the throne of the Human Emperor and to occupy a place in the prehistoric continent."

"We will obey the sage's command!"

All factions, including the Chan Sect, the Jie Sect, and Buddhism, emerged from seclusion and entered the world, using the war between the Human Emperors to kick off the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods.

The rain is coming from the wind!
