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

Chapter 118 The Heavenly Dao Has Made Its Move!

The sea eyes in all four seas trembled, and a terrifying aura instantly enveloped the four seas and spread throughout the entire primordial world.

Looking out, countless dazzling runes instantly rose up across the entire East Sea; these were all seals left behind by powerful dragon warriors.

At this moment, these dazzling seals began to shatter one after another, to the astonishment of countless dragons.

It was unstoppable and impossible to halt. Under that overwhelming divine might, even with all the dragon clan's experts present, they could not prevent the seal from breaking.

The Four Seas Eyes have fully erupted; the outcome is now a foregone conclusion, leaving no room for doubt. This is the work of Heaven itself, a single move unleashing a cataclysmic calamity upon the world.

"There's no time! Quickly gather the dragon clan's fortune!" Emperor Yu said in a deep voice.

The Four Dragon Kings naturally dared not neglect their duties. Under their leadership, one pure-blooded dragon after another began to condense their essence and blood, pouring it onto the horn of the Ancestral Dragon.

Emperor Yu did not hesitate. With a wave of his hand, four enormous pillars to suppress the sea appeared in the East China Sea.

"In the name of the sovereign of humanity, may the destiny of humanity be united!"

He transformed into Emperor Yu and roared, causing the entire human territory to tremble. Nine giant cauldrons appeared on the land of the nine provinces.

Subsequently, the illusory image of the Nine Cauldrons broke through the sky and descended into the East Sea, eventually coalescing beside Emperor Yu.

As the supreme ruler of the human race and the creator of the Nine Cauldrons, it was naturally not difficult for him to transform into Emperor Yu and use the Nine Cauldrons to gather the fortune of the human race with a single command.

Emperor Yu, with a solemn expression, raised his hand and pointed, causing the fortune of the human race to converge towards the four enormous pillars that suppress the sea.

"Suppress!" Jiang Heng roared again, and the four pillars that suppressed the sea instantly shot into the sky.

The first pillar to ward off the sea was placed in the largest sea eye in the East China Sea, while the other three pillars were placed in the South China Sea, the West China Sea, and the North China Sea, respectively.

As the four pillars that were meant to calm the seas fell, the once violently shaking Eye of the Four Seas instantly became completely calm.

The towering waves that had been churning the seas subsided in an instant, and the land returned to calm.

However, Emperor Yu showed no sign of happiness on his face. He could sense that terrifying power was still gathering within the sea eye.

The four pillars that suppress the sea eye only temporarily suppress it; to completely resolve the issue, this alone is far from sufficient.

He, Emperor Yu, unleashed his full power, with the phantom images of the Nine Cauldrons swirling around him, and boundless golden light began to condense on his body.

With a raised hand, golden light first descended upon the largest sea eye in the East China Sea, engraving mysterious runes on the pillar that guards the sea.

Subsequently, Emperor Yu, in turn, used golden light to inscribe mysterious runes on the other three pillars that guard the sea.

In an instant, four dazzling golden beams of light shot into the sky from the four seas in the east, west, south, and north, transforming into four pillars of light that connected heaven and earth.

That golden light was the condensation of the human race's fortune, which Emperor Yu transformed into golden runes and connected with the four pillars that suppress the sea.

From then on, the human race's fortune could be carried by the four pillars that suppress the sea, transforming into pillars that support the sky and suppress the sea eyes in the four seas.

With the current prosperity of the human race, even if only a portion of its fortune is used to suppress the four sea eyes, it will be enough.

However, Emperor Yu knew in his heart that since the Heavenly Dao had already taken action, it would definitely not be able to completely suppress the Four Seas Eye so easily.

As expected! Even under the suppression of the human race's fortune, Emperor Yu could still sense the terrifying power in the sea eye through the four pillars that suppress the sea.

The sea eye has not been completely suppressed; an even more terrifying power is constantly accumulating. Perhaps in a hundred years, perhaps in a thousand years, or perhaps in ten thousand years, the sea eye will inevitably erupt again.

When that time comes, not only will the four pillars that suppress the sea collapse, but the fate of the human race will also be damaged.

"Awooo! Awooo! Awooo!"

Just then, a deafening dragon roar resounded. Within the immense sound, an extremely powerful force emerged.

He turned around and saw that the horn of the Ancestral Dragon had risen into the air and transformed into an incomparably huge nine-clawed golden dragon.

This was achieved by all the dragons pouring their blood and essence into the horn of the Ancestral Dragon, and with the combined efforts of the Four Seas Dragon Kings, the horn of the Ancestral Dragon was finally fully restored.

A power belonging to a peak Quasi-Saint emerged in the primordial world; this was a powerful force belonging to the Ancestral Dragon at his peak.

Such terrifying power was indeed no weaker than that of Donghuang Taiyi back then, causing countless living beings in the primordial world to tremble.

However, no matter how strong the Ancestral Dragon was, it could not move Emperor Yu in the slightest. What he was concerned about was the dragon clan's fortune condensed on the Ancestral Dragon's phantom.

Even within the immense fortune of the Dragon Clan, one can still see traces of their former dominance over the world.

As the former overlords of the primordial world, even though they have declined, the dragon race still possesses a considerable amount of fortune, though not as much as the human race.

The dragon race currently possesses roughly one-tenth the fortune of the human race, which is already quite terrifying.

Of course, the reason why the dragon race's fortune has reached such a level is largely because the dragon race has submitted to the human race and become the human race's totem beast.

Heaven had no choice but to bestow boundless merit, allowing the dragon race to cleanse most of their karma, which naturally led to a surge in their fortune.

Moreover, Jiang Heng still allowed the Dragon Clan to govern the four seas, which was equivalent to turning the Dragon Clan into feudal lords who divided up the land and granted themselves titles.

All of these factors combined have given the Dragon Clan such immense fortune. And all of this was, of course, a plan Jiang Heng had long ago devised, all for this very day.

"Quickly concentrate the dragon clan's fortune onto that pillar that suppresses the sea in the East Sea!" Jiang Heng said in a deep voice.

The Four Dragon Kings dared not be negligent and simultaneously took action, controlling the illusory image of the Ancestral Dragon formed from the horn of the Ancestral Dragon to rush towards the largest sea eye in the East Sea.

The illusory image of the Ancestral Dragon roared, and in a single leap, it plunged into the sea eye, transforming into the form of a nine-clawed golden dragon, which was then engraved on the pillar that guards the sea.

"We've finally succeeded! From this day forward, our Four Seas Dragon Clan will no longer need to suppress the Sea Eye!"

The Four Dragon Kings gazed upon the pillar that stood in the eye of the sea, and wept with joy, their faces filled with excitement.

For billions of years! For billions of years, the dragon race has sacrificed far too much to suppress the sea eye, and countless powerful dragons have perished as a result.

Finally, in this era, with the help of the human race, the dragon race has finally managed to completely suppress the Sea Eye.

From then on, the dragon race no longer needed to suppress the sea eye, and the dragon race's powerful members no longer needed to die for suppressing the sea eye.

Over time, even if the dragon race can never regain its former glory, it will certainly not continue to decline.

However, in their excitement, the Four Dragon Kings did not forget to ask whose credit it was for completely suppressing the sea eye.

The four Dragon Kings simultaneously knelt down and said to Emperor Yu, who had transformed into another being, "Thank you for your help, humankind! Our dragon race will forever remember your kindness!"

Emperor Yu nodded in satisfaction. It was very important that the dragons remembered that they had submitted to the human race.

As for whether the Dragon Clan would become much stronger and develop rebellious intentions after no longer needing to suppress the Sea Eye, Emperor Yu didn't really care.

Everything is determined by strength. As long as the human race remains strong, even if the dragon race had ten times the courage, they would not dare to harbor any disloyal thoughts.

If the human race weakens, not to mention the dragon race, any powerful creature in the primordial world will ride roughshod over the human race.

In the original historical trajectory, those disciples of saints, the immortals and gods of the Heavenly Court, and even the already extremely weakened demon race.

Which one doesn't use humans as a tool to manipulate destiny? Has anyone ever truly treated humans as equals?

No! Not a single one!

But in this day and age, ask the gods and immortals in the Heavenly Court, ask the disciples of the sages, and see if they dare to act recklessly towards the human race.

"Don't be too happy yet, we haven't completely suppressed the sea eye yet!" Emperor Yu said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas were all stunned, their faces filled with shock as they stared at Emperor Yu in disbelief.

"The four pillars that suppress the sea have been placed in the largest sea eye in the four seas of the east, west, south and north, and they also contain the fortune of the human and dragon races."

"As long as the Pillars of the Four Seas remain intact, the Eye of the Sea should not be able to shake again! What does the Lord of Humanity mean by this?" The Dragon King of the East Sea asked with considerable doubt.

In the eyes of the Four Dragon Kings, with the flourishing fortunes of the human and dragon races, the Pillar of Sea Suppression was as solid as a rock, so how could it not completely suppress the sea eye?

"Under normal circumstances, this is indeed the case. With the suppression of the fortunes of both the human and dragon races, the sea eye should not be able to experience any tremors."

However, I could still feel a powerful aura emanating from the sea eye!

"You should know better than I do what this means!" Emperor Yu said in a deep voice.

"Impossible! My dragon race has suppressed the sea eye for billions of years and knows its power very well. How could the sea eye possibly possess such immense power?"

The four Dragon Kings all paled. When it comes to understanding the sea eye, the dragon clan, which has suppressed the sea eye for hundreds of millions of years, naturally has the most say.

If what Emperor Yu said is true, and the power of the sea eye can still be transmitted under the joint suppression of the fortunes of the human and dragon races, then the power of the sea eye is far too terrifying.

But if the Sea Eye truly possessed such terrifying power, the Dragon Clan could not have suppressed the Sea Eye for billions of years.

He, Emperor Yu, remained silent. Sometimes, past experience is more convincing, and he was certain that the power he was feeling was absolutely correct.

Under normal circumstances, perhaps as the Four Dragon Kings said, the sea eye should have been completely quelled under the suppression of the fortunes of the human and dragon races.

However, if Heaven has already intervened, it is only natural that the power in the sea eye would surge as a result.

The successive emergence of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors led to the great prosperity of humankind, a natural order. However, after this, humankind experienced a decline following its peak.

On the one hand, it is because the primordial energy of heaven and earth in the primordial world is gradually becoming thinner, making cultivation increasingly difficult.

Theoretically speaking, this is because after several great calamities, the primordial world was ravaged by powerful beings, and the primordial energy of heaven and earth would naturally decline.

However, in Jiang Heng's view, this was only part of the reason. The bigger reason should be that the Heavenly Dao was gradually reducing the primordial energy in the prehistoric world.

The sacred sites of the saints, as well as some blessed lands, will naturally remain unaffected. But for the human race, it is tantamount to annihilation.

Looking back at history, during the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, there were actually quite a few humans who cultivated to the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal.

However, even after the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, reaching the level of immortality through cultivation was an extremely difficult task for the human race.

The reason for this is self-evident: if the Heavenly Dao had not intervened, the primordial energy in the prehistoric world could not have decreased so much all at once.

On the other hand, it was because of this unprecedented calamity during the reign of Emperor Yu that caused the deaths of countless people.

The human population declined significantly as a result, and after the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, it was never able to recover.

The human race's fortunes did not decline much as a result, but this was only because the human race had a large enough population, not because the human race was particularly powerful.

The fact that a vast number of creatures, yet posing no threat to heaven and earth, have become the protagonists of the world is probably what the Heavenly Dao most desires to see.

Now, thanks to Jiang Heng's intervention, during the Lich War, the human race did not suffer heavy losses due to the slaughter by the demon race.

Later, after the reigns of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the human race not only prospered but also became far stronger than the human race in the original history.

This human race not only has a host of quasi-saint powerhouses like the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors guarding the Fire Cloud Cave, but also a considerable number of Grand Luo Golden Immortals among them.

It would be strange if Heaven didn't fear the growing power of humanity. Therefore, during the reign of Emperor Yu, Heaven chose to intervene.

The most important reason for choosing to act at this time is that Emperor Yu was the last of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

The emergence of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors led to the great prosperity of the human race. This was the inevitable trend of Heaven, which even the Dao Ancestor and the Heavenly Dao could not stop.

Therefore, during the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, neither the Heavenly Dao nor the Dao Ancestor could suppress the human race, and they even had to bestow boundless merits upon the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

However, during the reign of Emperor Yu, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were nearing completion. Moreover, as the last of the Five Emperors, Emperor Yu was destined to undergo trials and tribulations before attaining enlightenment.

Therefore, by taking advantage of the calamities that Emperor Yu was supposed to experience, Heaven only needed to give a small push to plunge the human race into boundless calamity.

Heaven and Earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs! This statement is absolutely true. Even if billions of human beings die because of this, Heaven will not be moved in the slightest.

The Heavenly Dao would remain unmoved, but Jiang Heng would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen. Even if the Heavenly Dao itself intervened, Jiang Heng would still take a gamble.

Otherwise, why would Jiang Heng have gone to such lengths to cultivate the "Great Self-Transformation Method" and thus transform into the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?

"I want to see if the will of Heaven is truly inviolable!" He, Emperor Yu, thought to himself.

This is Jiang Heng's first time confronting the Heavenly Dao from afar, but for Jiang Heng, this confrontation is one he cannot afford to lose.

If they fail, the human race will face immediate annihilation, something Jiang Heng simply cannot accept.

However, in the primordial world, even a saint would likely be defeated if he were to clash with the Heavenly Dao from afar.

Just then, amidst the trembling gazes of the Four Dragon Kings, a terrifying wave suddenly emanated from the sea eye, sending chills down their spines.

Then, the enormous pillar that guards the sea began to shake violently, and faintly, the Nine Cauldrons and the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon appeared at the same time.

However, under the combined suppression of the Nine Cauldrons and the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon, the terrifying fluctuations continued to grow stronger.
