Primordial Era: Becoming the Great Emperor of Humanity from the Start

Chapter 103 Fuxi Returns to His Position! Heavenly Wrath Achieved (Minor Success)!

Dongwanggong was filled with hesitation as he traveled to the human race, but he was unable to even see the face of Fuxi, the new ruler of the human race.

The human race of today is not the same as the human race of later generations. Any immortal who can reveal his cultivation level can be treated as an honored guest by the human race.

As the new generation's supreme ruler of the human race, leading hundreds of millions of people, and being a peak Grand Luo Golden Immortal himself, how could anyone just want to see him?

The cultivation level of the Eastern King Duke, a Great Luo Golden Immortal, is quite good, but there are Great Luo Golden Immortals among the human race as well.

The Heavenly Court? Among the human race, apart from a few with profound cultivation, ordinary humans don't even know what the Heavenly Court is.

Therefore, it was only natural that Dongwanggong was turned away, which put him in an even more awkward dilemma.

He longed to return to Heaven to report, but feared that the Jade Emperor would seize the opportunity to cause trouble. Losing his position as the Eastern King Duke was a minor matter; he feared that he would die as a result.

However, if they do not return to the Heavenly Court to report, they will not even be able to see the face of the current ruler of the human race, and thus there will be no way to complete the task assigned by the Jade Emperor.

After pondering for a long time, Dong Wanggong made a snap decision. He figured that since he was going to die anyway, he might as well take a gamble and maybe the bicycle could really turn into a motorcycle.

"The Heavenly Court's special envoy, the Eastern King Duke, has come on behalf of the Jade Emperor Haotian to pay homage to the current ruler of humanity!"

Dongwanggong unleashed his full cultivation, transforming his voice into a vast Dao sound that instantly resounded throughout the surrounding area.

Now, not only humans with high cultivation levels, but even ordinary humans could clearly hear the words of the Eastern King.

In an instant, many figures rushed out from among the humans, all of them highly skilled, and surrounded the Eastern King Duke, staring at him with hostile eyes.

Dongwanggong broke out in a cold sweat. The lowest level of the human experts in front of him was Golden Immortal, and there were even several Great Luo Golden Immortals.

If we don't even count the two quasi-saints, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, these human experts alone are enough to crush the current Heavenly Court.

Moreover, in the primordial world, which living being doesn't know that the most terrifying thing about the human race is actually its speed of reproduction?

Since the birth of humankind, not many years have passed, yet humans have spread throughout the entire prehistoric land.

If we were to ask which race has the largest population in the primordial world today, it would undoubtedly be the human race.

Unfortunately, the human race's cultivation aptitude is not bad, and their terrifying numbers have spawned a large number of experts.

The human race, under the leadership of the new generation of human sovereigns, is becoming increasingly glorious. Although they are not yet the overlords of the world, they already have some of the aura of an overlord.

Otherwise, the Jade Emperor Haotian wouldn't have been so envious that he would have come up with such an absurd idea as to appoint a new ruler of the human race.

"Who are you? Why are you making such a racket among our human race? Do you have a death wish?"

A powerful human being at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal stepped forward, looked at the Eastern King Duke with hostility, and said in a deep voice.

"As I just said, I am a special envoy of the Heavenly Court, here on behalf of the Jade Emperor Haotian to pay homage to the new ruler of the human race!" said the Eastern King Duke.

"The Heavenly Court? Even if it's a special envoy from the Heavenly Court, they can't disregard the rules of my human race like this. You wait here, I'll go and report first!" said the Great Luo Golden Immortal of the human race.

The Eastern King remained expressionless, secretly relieved. He had gambled correctly this time; as long as he could meet the current ruler of the human race, there was hope of completing his mission.

Not long after, the human Grand Luo Golden Immortal returned and said to the Eastern King Duke, "Follow me!"

Under the guidance of this Great Golden Immortal of the human race, the Eastern King Duke finally got to meet the new generation of the common ruler of the human race.

"So you are the Heavenly Court's special envoy? What brings you to the human race to request an audience with me?" Jiang Heng asked the Eastern King Duke with great interest.

The rise of the Heavenly Court occurred after the Investiture of the Gods, but Jiang Heng understood that even before that, the Heavenly Court was already restless and unwilling to remain idle.

For example, during the reign of the Human Emperor, the Heavenly Court would send the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden to the mortal realm to help the Human Emperor defeat Chi You, which could be considered as sharing some of the merits of the human race.

However, Jiang Heng never expected that the Heavenly Court, in this era, would be unwilling to remain silent and would want to interfere in the affairs of the human race.

"I am the Eastern King Duke, the head of the male immortals in Heaven. I have come by order of the Jade Emperor to pay homage to the current ruler of the human race and to announce the Jade Emperor's bestowal of titles!" the Eastern King Duke said, forcing himself to speak.

Dong Wanggong knew that once he uttered these words, the current emperor would likely fly into a rage.

But the Jade Emperor's decree was there, leaving the Eastern King Duke no choice. However, to the Eastern King Duke's surprise, the human race's sovereign did not immediately become angry.

"Oh? The Jade Emperor Haotian wants to bestow a reward upon me? I wonder what reward he will bestow upon me?" Jiang Heng asked with interest, his expression unchanged.

"Lord of the Human Race, please accept this reward! The Jade Emperor has witnessed the increasing prosperity of the human race. This is due to the effective governance of the Lord of the Human Race, and the Heavenly Court should commend him!"

"Therefore, the Jade Emperor has sent me to the human race to bestow upon the contemporary ruler of the human race the title of the Supreme Emperor Hao Shangdi, the Creator of Heaven and Earth!" said the Eastern King Duke.

Jiang Heng smiled broadly, but this smile, when seen by Dong Wanggong, suddenly sent a chill down his spine.

Jiang Heng remained silent for a long time, as if he were pondering something. Dong Wanggong dared not disturb him and could only wait silently by his side.

"Go back and tell Haotian that matters concerning the human race belong to the human race and are not for the Heavenly Court to interfere with. Tell him not to worry about it!" Jiang Heng said.

Although he had expected this outcome, Dongwanggong would have no way to explain himself to the Jade Emperor Haotian if he returned like this.

Clinging to a sliver of hope, Dongwanggong spoke again: "The Dao Ancestor once said that the Heavenly Court manages all things in the primordial world!"

The Jade Emperor Haotian was personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor as the ruler of the Heavenly Court. Humans were born in the primordial world, so how could they ignore the existence of the Heavenly Court?

Furthermore, the Jade Emperor's rewards this time were exceptionally generous. The Supreme Emperor Hao Shangdi, who created heaven and earth, held a lofty position, second only to the Jade Emperor in the Heavenly Court.

These words already carried a hint of threat, but since death was inevitable either way, the Eastern King Duke couldn't care less about that.

"Hahaha! The Dao Ancestor is the Dao Ancestor, and the Heavenly Court is the Heavenly Court. How can the two be confused? Did the Dao Ancestor ever allow Haotian to interfere in the affairs of the human race?"

Our human race was created by the sage Nuwa. Through generations of hard work and perseverance, we have achieved what we have today.

"What is Haotian? He thinks he can bestow titles upon me? Does he want the Heavenly Court to be above the human race? That's just wishful thinking!" Jiang Heng sneered.

Having said that, the conversation naturally couldn't continue, and the Eastern King Duke could only return to the Heavenly Court with a heavy heart to report back.

As for whether Dongwanggong would embellish the story of the human race to the Jade Emperor Haotian in order to save his own life, Jiang Heng didn't care.

Jiang Heng wasn't even worried about whether the Jade Emperor Haotian would be enraged by this.

After the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, in the primordial world, no sages appeared, and the era of the Heavenly Court truly arrived.

All human beings, and even countless other living beings, including those in the six realms of reincarnation, are nominally under the rule of the Heavenly Court.

This is the general trend of Heaven, because the Heavenly Court represents Heaven, and can even be said to be the spokesperson of Heaven or the Dao Ancestor.

The Heavenly Court's rule over the future primordial world signifies the complete breakdown of the tripartite balance between Heaven, Earth, and Humanity, with Heaven's Way becoming supreme.

On the surface, the Investiture of the Gods was a conflict between the Chan and Jie sects, but in the end, it was nothing more than suppressing the Three Pure Ones and establishing the Heavenly Court's dominant position.

Now, even before the Investiture of the Gods has arrived, the Heavenly Court has already jumped out so impatiently. The Jade Emperor Haotian's ambition is truly not small!

"Hmph! The Heavenly Court really can't stand being alone!" Jiang Heng murmured, his face full of murderous intent.

Jiang Heng had naturally already considered the future of the Heavenly Court. Moreover, he had already prepared a great gift for the Jade Emperor.

Once Gouchenxing's plan is complete, Jiang Heng will see if the Jade Emperor Haotian, who is already busy with his own affairs, will still have the leisure to interfere in the affairs of the human race.

However, the Heavenly Court is too weak now, with only two or three big and small cats, far inferior to the strength of the human race.

If the Jade Emperor Haotian had any sense left, he would never dare to attack the human race in its current state. Doing so would only bring shame upon himself.

The Heavenly Court poses no significant threat for the time being and there's no need to pay it any attention. Jiang Heng has more important things to do.

This time, Jiang Heng paid a great price to transform into Fuxi, thus reincarnating into the human race and becoming the new ruler of the human race.

Aside from using the innate spiritual treasures Hetu and Luoshu to comprehend the Hunyuan Luohe Grand Array, the most important thing for Jiang Heng was how to attain the Dao.

Jiang Heng secluded himself in the Fire Cloud Cave for a full epoch, and his cultivation had already reached the peak of the Great Emperor realm, leaving him with virtually no room for further advancement.

Although the "Great Freedom of Others" is a method of the Immortal Emperor, it is not so easy to truly achieve the realm of the Immortal Emperor.

Jiang Heng also saw the most promising path to enlightenment among countless changes in the future, and his transformation into Fuxi was only the first step.

The will of Heaven dictates that humanity will have three sovereigns and five emperors. Among them, Fuxi, as the Heavenly Sovereign, is the first of the three sovereigns and five emperors of humanity, holding extraordinary significance.

The Three Sovereigns are Heaven, Earth, and Man. Heaven represents the Way of Heaven, and the method by which Fuxi attained the Way was precisely to comprehend the profound mysteries of the Eight Trigrams.

The Eight Trigrams of the Earlier Heaven are best at deducing the secrets of Heaven and predicting future fortunes and misfortunes, which is precisely where the mysteries of the Way of Heaven lie.

For the next ten thousand years, Jiang Heng temporarily put aside the Hunyuan Heluo Formation and began to devote himself to comprehending the mysteries of the Primordial Eight Trigrams.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Jiang Heng, the first ruler of the human race, has been on the throne for a full 36,000 years.

On this day, the once peaceful primordial world suddenly trembled. Countless powerful beings were abruptly awakened and looked towards the core area of ​​the human race.

In between, golden light shone brightly between heaven and earth, with countless rays of light and auspicious colors. Purple clouds came from the east for 30,000 miles, and golden springs gushed from the earth.

In the core region of the human race, where the current human sovereign resides, an endless, mysterious map floats in the sky.

The Xuanhuang Diagram is the form of the Eight Trigrams of the Primordial Era, containing endless mysteries and infinite changes that will evolve into the future.

"Fuxi of the human race led the human race to great prosperity. Now he has comprehended the profound mysteries of the Eight Trigrams, and has made great contributions to heaven and earth!"

Now that your merits are complete, you shall become the Emperor of the Human Race. Immediately proceed to the Fire Cloud Cave to forever safeguard the destiny of the Human Race!

A tremendous sound resounded throughout the entire primordial world, and in an instant, the Heavenly Dao bestowed boundless merit upon the human race.

Jiang Heng, transformed into Fuxi, flew out from among the human race, and boundless merit landed right above his head.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Heng's transformed Fuxi's cultivation level began to rise steadily, from the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal to the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm.

Subsequently, shrouded in strange phenomena, Jiang Heng, transformed into Fuxi, flew towards the Fire Cloud Cave beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.

With this, the Human Emperor returned to his throne, and the strange phenomena that had filled the sky gradually dissipated, restoring peace to the entire primordial world once again.

However, this movement by the human race has already attracted the attention of countless powerful beings. Many of them have realized that since the time of the Heavenly Emperor, the era of the human race's great prosperity has fully arrived.

Meanwhile, Jiang Heng, disguised as Fuxi, arrived at the Fire Cloud Cave. Jiang Heng was already waiting inside. The two met for the first time, and it was somewhat awkward.

Fuxi and Jiang Heng were originally one entity, but due to the "Great Self-Transformation Method," they are now considered independent individuals.

"Congratulations on your attainment of Dao, fellow Daoist!" Jiang Heng said first.

"I can't say I've attained enlightenment; I've only grasped a few of the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao. I've barely mastered the first move of the Emperor's Fist, Heavenly Wrath!" he said, transformed into Fuxi.

To outsiders, Jiang Heng's transformation of Fuxi into a quasi-saint was due to his merits, but all of this was an illusion.

As before, Jiang Heng believed that merit was not the key to enlightenment, and he had no intention of integrating merit.

The merit bestowed by Heaven was once again used by Jiang Heng to condense the Golden Body of Merit, which took another step forward in the process of creating the Golden Body of Merit.

The reason he was able to reach the peak Quasi-Saint realm again was because Jiang Heng comprehended the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao using the Innate Eight Trigrams.

The first move of the Imperial Fist, Heavenly Wrath, is derived from the supreme power of Heaven, which, when enraged, destroys all living beings.

However, since Emperor Fist was created by Jiang Heng, many aspects of it are not truly perfect, including the first move, Heavenly Wrath.

This time, by taking advantage of the opportunity to comprehend the Eight Trigrams, Jiang Heng was able to glimpse the secrets of heaven and evolve the infinite changes of the future heavenly way.

Only then did Jiang Heng realize that his previous understanding of the Heavenly Wrath and the destruction of all living beings was far too superficial.

Upon comprehending the profound mysteries of the Eight Trigrams, Jiang Heng, through that moment of enlightenment, glimpsed the infinite changes of the future of the Heavenly Dao.

Among the countless possibilities of the future, Jiang Heng truly saw a scene of utter desolation in the primordial world, where all things withered and spiritual energy was cut off.

At that moment, Jiang Heng finally understood what a truly terrifying scene it was: the wrath of Heaven and the destruction of the world.

It was with this realization that Jiang Heng's first move of the Emperor Fist, Heavenly Wrath, truly reached the level of minor mastery.

This time, Jiang Heng not only successfully comprehended the Hunyuan Heluo Grand Array, but also took a step forward in his own Dao.

In this way, Jiang Heng transformed into Fuxi and was reincarnated as the Emperor of the Human Race, thus achieving all his goals.

Having the cultivation experience from his previous life, it was only natural that he would recover to the peak Quasi-Saint realm and ascend to the Fire Cloud Cave.

Emperor Fuxi has returned to his throne, but the great rise of humanity has only just begun. Under the workings of the heavens, humanity's second supreme ruler is about to be born.
