Primordial Era: Humanity's Supreme Ruler, Abolishes Nuwa's Position as Holy Mother

Chapter 49 The Sages' Speculations, Zhunti's Scheme

The departure of the Heavenly Court personnel brought a sigh of relief to both Zhen Yuanzi and Xuanwu.

They dared not delay, nor did they have time to be happy; they went straight back to Mount Kongtong.

The injured Suirenshi went to the Sacred Pool to heal, and with the help of Chu Feng, he recovered quickly.

After this battle, the human race gained four more Primordial Golden Immortals comparable to Quasi-Saints, as well as ten War Gods, resulting in a surge in their strength.

Moreover, all the races of the primordial world have noticed the Heavenly Court's interception, and their fear of the human race will only deepen.

This is a bad thing, but it's also a good thing.

On the other side—

When Di Jun returned to the Heavenly Court, his expression was rather unpleasant. He glanced at the silent Fu Xi but said nothing.

He then indicated that he wanted to discuss how to deal with the human race, and then found an excuse to let Fuxi go back first.

This is a blatant exclusion of him from the core.

Having witnessed the human race's combat power, which had grown too rapidly, Di Jun felt a sense of apprehension.

The ancestral witches shared the same idea.

They had been watching the game, but hadn't come out yet, worried about unexpected events.

After all, the witch clan, the demon clan, and the human clan are all facing life-or-death situations, and getting involved could easily lead to trouble.

When Dijiang returned, he was greatly alarmed.

The strength of the human and demon races has almost reached a stalemate, while the witch race has become somewhat weaker.

If this continues, what will become of the Wu tribe in the future?

"Judging from the current situation, the human race's thoroughness is most likely due to premeditated planning."

After careful analysis, they determined that the great battle between Zhurong and Gonggong was caused by instigation by the human race.

Zhu Rong's expression was far from pleasant; now that she knew she had fallen into a trap, she was even more furious.

The flames around him even changed from bright red to dark red, so dark that it felt suffocating.

"I'm going to the human race to settle accounts with them right now!" Zhu Rong roared, veins bulging on his forehead.

A terrifying aura was spreading, and surging fire power erupted from Zhu Rong's body, carrying the ferocity to burn the heavens.

"etc!"

Dijiang shouted and stopped him.

His eyes were gloomy as he said coldly, "Since the emergence of the Supreme Being, the human race has undergone a complete and earth-shattering change. This incident must have been orchestrated by him behind the scenes. Currently, we do not yet know the exact nature of his abilities. The human realm remains a forbidden zone; we must not trespass there rashly."

"Elder brother is right," Jumang sighed. "The human race has just retreated from the demon race, and their morale is high. Not only do we have Zhen Yuanzi, but we also have Xuanwu protecting us, as well as the four Grandmasters of Chaos. Even if the human race's supreme ruler doesn't intervene, can you defeat them all by yourself?"

Zhu Rong looked at Ju Mang and was speechless for a moment.

He thought for a moment, then looked at Di Jun and asked, "So what should we do now?"

"Wait," Dijiang said thoughtfully. "The human race has already offended the demon race and the sages. There are others who are even more restless than us."

At this very moment, on the vast, untamed land.

Because of the matter of mending the heavens and the battle against the Heavenly Court, all topics related to the human race have been ignited.

"Humanity's willingness to risk their lives to save us is truly commendable, but something feels off."

"Many tribes are now extremely grateful to humans, but thinking about it carefully, it feels rather strange."

Some of the stronger individuals noticed something amiss.

They began to recall the time when the heavens were mended, realizing the crucial point: the human race's actions were incredibly timely.

Before long, some tribes began to voice their opinion that the story should not be traced back to mending the sky, but rather to Zhu Rong and Gong Gong.

These words immediately attracted the attention of many powerful figures.

The man somewhere shared his conjecture: "The battle between Zhurong and Gonggong raged on until they reached Buzhou Mountain. Gonggong, in his rage, struck Buzhou Mountain, causing the sky to collapse. Not long after the sage Nuwa mended the sky, the human race arrived with the structure that held up the heavens. If the human race hadn't intervened, Nuwa should have enjoyed this merit alone. Instead, it was divided up by the human race. Isn't this all pre-planned?"

After careful consideration, all races discovered that this was indeed the case.

Although the human race only appeared after the sky was mended, how could they have known that the battle between Zhu Rong and Gong Gong would cause the sky to collapse if they hadn't known beforehand?

Moreover, the thing that supports the sky was clearly prepared in advance!

"The deductive techniques of the human race's supreme ruler are truly terrifying!"

at the same time.

Nuwa also learned of the Heavenly Court's defeat.

However, she reacted normally. Since the human race dared to intervene in this calamity, they must have been prepared.

However, the Black Tortoise was renamed Black Tortoise and became the guardian beast of the human race, which surprised her somewhat.

From the sight of the four pillars supporting the sky, the Heavenly Court's interception, and the Supreme Being's absence, Nuwa had already begun to glimpse the truth.

She returned to the Nuwa Palace and invited the Five Sages again.

After the five saints gathered, Nuwa told them her current speculation.

"The power of the human race's supreme ruler may be limited to the human race's territory."

Nuwa made a startling statement.

However, after Nuwa finished speaking, none of the five saints showed any particular surprise.

They were indeed somewhat surprised, but without concrete evidence, all speculation was futile.

"Could it be that the Heavenly Court intercepted the Four Ancestors of the Human Race?" Tongtian pondered.

Nuwa nodded and said, "I have also witnessed the abilities of the human race's supreme ruler. This time, the Heavenly Court has mobilized all its elite forces, and Emperor Jun has even come in person. Given the human race's supreme ruler's temperament, how could he possibly remain seated?"

She felt this was abnormal.

Previously, the human supreme ruler killed anyone he saw, not even sparing his own projections; Donghuang Taiyi was even boiled alive.

Now that Di Jun, who supports the Heavenly Court, has arrived, can he really sit still with such a good opportunity?

To miss such a great opportunity is no longer a question of whether one wants to or not, but rather whether one is capable of doing so.

"That makes some sense."

Lao Tzu recalled his previous arrival in the human territory.

At that time, the location of the human race's supreme ruler was also within his territory, and the situation was the same even further back.

The first two great demons to die, Jiufeng and Jiuying, Donghuang and Qiangliang, almost all perished within human territory.

All indications suggest that Nuwa's words were not mere wild speculation.

At that moment, Nuwa looked around at the five sages who were pondering this matter, and said, "The four ancestors of the human race went to support the heavens, which can be understood as a trial for them. So why are they still able to remain calm when they are besieged by the heavenly court? Moreover, they only sent Xuanwu, Zhenyuanzi and Xuandu to help. If they had personally come forward, why would they have gone through all this trouble?"

The five saints nodded slowly, agreeing that it made sense.

Each of them had witnessed the domineering actions of the human race's supreme ruler.

Not to mention Nuwa, even Laozi couldn't do anything about it. If the human race's supreme fighting power is real, he could have simply killed Di Jun this time.

In this way, humanity would have one less major enemy, yet he remained unmoved, which speaks volumes.

The supreme human race is most likely unable to leave its territory; otherwise, it would not possess such earth-shattering power.

"By testing it out, we'll know how deep it is," Zhunti said.

"How should we test them?" Yuanshi asked.

Zhunti glanced at him and laughed, "Let Dijun's ten sons go. They're very playful; a little provocation will suffice."
