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

Chapter 183 Cutting Off the Fire at the Bottom!

At this very moment, in the primordial world, all humankind felt a stirring within them.

The ancestors of humankind, including Suirenshi, exchanged glances. They all knew that the most crucial moment had arrived.

For this moment, not only had Jiang Heng planned for a long time, but the entire human race had also been constantly accumulating experience over the past million years.

The day has finally come. As the great calamity of the gods is about to end, the fate of humanity is about to be decided.

Suiren and other ancestors of the human race all took a step forward and appeared in the nine heavens, their mighty voices resounding in the ears of all humankind:

"Our human race was born between the primordial world and has encountered countless calamities. It was only through the sacrifice of countless people that the human race has achieved what it is today."

The Human Emperor once said, "Our human race does not seek help from heaven, earth, or worship gods and Buddhas. Only by constantly striving for self-improvement can our human race rise to prominence."

Now, the Human Emperor is fighting alone for the future of our human race, but this battle is not just a matter for the Human Emperor alone!

Not many humans knew about Jiang Heng's various schemes. In order to avoid the Heavenly Dao and Dao Ancestor Hongjun discovering the anomaly, Jiang Heng had deliberately erased his traces among the human race.

But at this moment, through the accounts of the ancestors of humanity such as Suirenshi, many people gradually understood what Jiang Heng had sacrificed for the human race.

Gradually, countless humans began to chant Jiang Heng's name in unison. He was the first sovereign of the human race and made an immortal contribution to the rise of the human race.

"For the future of humanity, even if it means facing the will of Heaven, we will never compromise, even if we fight to the last man!"

"Now, let the heavens above take a good look at the indomitable will of my human race!" Suirenshi roared to the sky.

At this moment, the seeds that Jiang Heng had planted among the human race began to take root and sprout, representing the indomitable will of the human race.

Countless humans roared to the heavens in anger, a rage against the injustice of the heavens and a rebellion against the heavens' attempt to cast humanity into the dust.

Gradually, all living beings in the primordial world fell silent, leaving only the indomitable roar of the human race echoing throughout the heavens and earth.

At this moment, the disciples of the saints and the quasi-saints all felt a sense of dread amidst the human race's furious roar to the heavens.

The humans who were once considered insignificant and like ants in their eyes have now unleashed such incredible power.

Most humans are indeed incredibly weak, unable even to embark on the path of cultivation, and their lifespan is no more than a hundred years.

But it is precisely these tiny ants that, when united as one and their strength is gathered together, still possess earth-shattering power.

Drops of water converge to form rivers, rivers converge to form great rivers, and great rivers flow endlessly, eventually converging into a vast ocean!

This is the power of the spirit! This is the power of humanity! The combined strength of hundreds of millions of people is an unparalleled and awe-inspiring power.

Just as the ancestors of the human race, such as Suirenshi, said, this battle was not just Jiang Heng's battle alone.

This battle is also a battle between billions of human beings and the Heavenly Dao. No matter how insignificant they are, they can still contribute their own strength.

Unconsciously, the indomitable will formed by the roars of countless humans traversed layers of space and descended upon Jiang Heng.

An indomitable will coalesced, and the power of humanity shone brightly on Jiang Heng's body, with countless phantom images of humans beginning to appear behind him.

At the same time, behind Houtu, the illusory image of the Six Paths of Reincarnation also materialized, as if the real Six Paths of Reincarnation had descended.

"Dao Ancestor! Today I will stake the fate of the entire human race on a battle with you!" Jiang Heng said in a deep voice.

"Dao Ancestor! Today, I too stake the fate of the entire Six Paths of Reincarnation on a battle with you!" Houtu Ancestral Witch said, having also attained sainthood.

But at this moment, the enormous hand of the colossus that was about to strike down abruptly stopped.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun hesitated, as if he was wary of something. This palm strike should have been the decisive blow that would have secured victory, but he could no longer land a single blow.

"You! You actually managed to do this, do you know what this means?" Dao Ancestor Hongjun's voice rang out.

At this moment, the voice of Dao Ancestor Hongjun no longer contained the indifference and arrogance of the past, but instead contained some exasperation.

"It is precisely because I understand what this means that I am prepared to die rather than submit!" Jiang Heng said firmly.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun remained silent. The fact that this battle had progressed to this point was truly beyond his expectations.

The power of humanity and the power of the earth resonated, thus miraculously breaking the net of heavenly law; this was already an incredible thing.

Even so, this was still within the limits of what Dao Ancestor Hongjun could bear; it was just a matter of paying a little more price.

Once Houtu and Jiang Heng are suppressed, everything will be set in stone, and neither Heaven nor humanity will have a chance to turn the tide.

This was something that Dao Ancestor Hongjun had planned for a long time, and even if it came at a price, Dao Ancestor Hongjun was not unwilling to accept it.

But at this moment, seeing the countless human phantoms behind Jiang Heng, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation behind Houtu, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun remained silent.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun understood that at this moment, Jiang Heng and Houtu Ancestral Witch were no longer simply incarnations of the Human Way and the Earth Way.

These two incredible beings before me, I don't know what method they used, have managed to completely merge themselves with the human way and the earth way.

If Dao Ancestor Hongjun were to strike, it would be uncertain whether he could completely suppress Houtu and Jiang Heng.

Even if it can be suppressed, the will of humanity and the essence of the earth will completely collapse, which will cause extremely terrifying consequences.

The will of humanity will collapse, and the destiny of the entire human race will be utterly destroyed. From then on, there will be no possibility of the human race existing in the primordial world.

This alone was already beyond the capacity of Dao Ancestor Hongjun to bear. In the primordial world, without even a protagonist, what kind of great world could it be?

Once the tunnel collapses, the most direct consequence will be the complete destruction of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and the primordial world will become incomplete as a result.

Such severe consequences are already an unbearable burden. It would be impossible for Dao Ancestor Hongjun not to have any reservations.

"Good! Very good! Do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?" Dao Ancestor Hongjun said in a deep voice.

"You can try it and see what's left of the Heavenly Dao in the end," Jiang Heng said without backing down.

From the moment he stepped forward to face the Heavenly Dao, Jiang Heng never considered the possibility of retreating, nor could he afford to retreat in the face of the Heavenly Dao.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun stared at Jiang Heng, Hou, and the Ancestral Witch with a gloomy expression, but he did not make a move from beginning to end. It was not that he was unwilling, but that he was unable to.

"Taiqing, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Jieyin, Zhunti, Nuwa, you should all hurry to the primordial world and completely suppress the human race."

"After you suppress the human race, you will enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation and completely suppress the origin of the Six Paths of Reincarnation!" Dao Ancestor Hongjun said in a deep voice.

Humanity is the foundation of the power of humanity, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation is undoubtedly the foundation of the power of the earthly path; their importance goes without saying.

This is a drastic measure by Dao Ancestor Hongjun. If the saints follow Dao Ancestor Hongjun's advice, they will definitely be able to weaken the power of the human and earthly paths considerably.

In this way, Dao Ancestor Hongjun would naturally no longer need to worry about so many things, and the price he would have to pay would definitely not be as serious as it is now.

Upon hearing this, Houtu Ancestral Witch's expression changed slightly. At this moment, she and Houtu Ancestral Witch were facing Dao Ancestor Hongjun directly, so they naturally had no power to stop the Six Saints.

In the primordial world, whether among humans or in the Six Paths of Reincarnation, there are no longer any warriors of saintly caliber.

In other words, if the Six Sages were to descend upon the primordial world at this moment, they would be absolutely invincible, and no one could stop them from doing anything.

As disciples of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the Six Saints would never normally defy Dao Ancestor Hongjun's fate.

On the contrary, Jiang Heng remained expressionless and did not waver in the slightest because of Dao Ancestor Hongjun's words.

"Excellent! It turns out that Your Majesty had planned this all along. With this, the overall situation is settled!" Jade Emperor Haotian said with a joyful expression.

This battle terrified the Jade Emperor Haotian. Although he believed that Dao Ancestor Hongjun was the strongest and invincible, he still had some worries in his heart.

If Dao Ancestor Hongjun wins, then everything will be fine, and the Jade Emperor Haotian will still be the supreme ruler of the Heavenly Court.

But if even Dao Ancestor Hongjun is defeated, his position as Jade Emperor will become a joke, and he may even die and disappear.

Now that he saw Dao Ancestor Hongjun use a desperate measure, the Jade Emperor Haotian was overjoyed, believing that the overall situation was settled.

"Hahaha! That Human Emperor thought his methods were superb, but they were completely ineffective in front of our teacher!" Saint Zhunti said excitedly.

"Let's not waste any more time. Let's quickly follow our teacher's instructions and head to the Primordial World!" the Sage said in a deep voice.

As soon as they finished speaking, the Sage of Reception and the Sage of Zhunti eagerly prepared to take a step forward and head towards the primordial world.

But at that moment, both the Sage of Reception and the Sage of Zhunti changed their expressions. It turned out that the Sage of Taiqing had appeared in front of them at some point.

"Senior Brother Taiqing, what do you mean by this? Are you going to disobey our teacher's orders?" the Sage of Reception said in a deep voice.

"Stop! As the leader of the Human Sect, how can I allow you to go to the Primordial World at this time?" the Sage Taiqing said coldly.

Both the Sage of Reception and the Sage of Zhunti were taken aback. Although they did not know why, they understood that the Sage of Taiqing had made his choice.

Neither the Sage of Reception nor the Sage of Zhunti could have imagined that the Sage of Taiqing would stand on the opposite side of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun at such a crucial moment.

"Hmph! Taiqing, you really do have impure thoughts, you have disappointed me greatly!" The cold voice of Dao Ancestor Hongjun came.

"I had no choice but to do it, please forgive me, Master!" the Sage Taiqing said expressionlessly.

"Hmph! Human Emperor, this is indeed one of your methods, but one Taiqing is not enough to leave me helpless!" Dao Ancestor Hongjun said in a deep voice.

With a wave of his hand, the Jade Disc of Creation instantly condensed into three purple rays of light, piercing through the vast chaos and descending above the heads of Zhunti, Jieyin, and Yuanshi Tianzun.

In an instant, the injuries of the three saints began to heal at an incredible speed, and they were back to their full strength in no time.

The two saints, Yuanshi Tianzun, Jieyin, and Zhunti, were all injured by Jiang Heng, and their injuries were not minor.

In particular, the Sage Zhunti has already damaged his very essence as a sage. Without the cultivation of countless ages, he will absolutely not be able to recover to his full potential.

Saint Zhunti wasn't much better off; at least during the Investiture of the Gods, he could no longer act with the power of a saint.

The Celestial Venerable of Primordial Beginning was in slightly better condition, but because he had unleashed a groundbreaking attack, the very essence of the sage was shaken.

Such a severe injury would require a long period of recuperation for even a saint to slowly recover.

However, under the power of the Heavenly Dao, even such severe injuries could be healed in an instant, which demonstrates the terrifying power of the Heavenly Dao in modifying the rules.

At this moment, a great terror arose in the hearts of all the saints. Faced with the Heavenly Dao, which could alter the rules, the idea that saints were immortal was indeed a joke.

The two saints, Yuanshi Tianzun, Jieyin, and Zhunti, have all recovered to their full strength and are not without the power to fight even against the Taiqing Saint.

In fact, if only two sages could hold off the Taiqing Sage, the remaining sage could return to the primordial world and easily accomplish what Dao Ancestor Hongjun had said.

The two saints, Yuanshi Tianzun and Jieyin, stepped forward and blocked Taiqing Saint, while Zhunti Saint immediately prepared to return to the primordial world.

But at that moment, the Tongtian Sect Leader stepped forward and stood in front of the Sage Zhunti, his four swords of Zhuxian brimming with murderous aura.

"Tongtian! I never expected you to dare disobey your teacher!" Saint Zhunti said in a deep voice.

"Zhunti, do you want to try out my Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation?" Tongtian Sect Leader said in a deep voice.

Sage Zhunti was stunned. Even without the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, he was no match for the Tongtian Sect Leader.

Moreover, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is said to be unbreakable by any group of four saints. How could he possibly contend with the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation with the power of a single saint?

At that moment, the Sage Nuwa unexpectedly stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with the Master of Heaven and the Sage Taiqing.

Nuwa's true attitude is self-evident. And even Dao Ancestor Hongjun had not anticipated this scene.

"Taiqing, Tongtian, Nuwa, you are all very good!" Dao Ancestor Hongjun said in a deep voice.

The fact that the Sage Taiqing had harbored ulterior motives was already evident to Dao Ancestor Hongjun during the battle between Jiang Heng and the Sage Taiqing.

Therefore, when the Sage Taiqing stepped forward to stop the two Sages, Jieyin and Zhunti, Dao Ancestor Hongjun was not too surprised.

Although the Sage Nuwa had long been in cahoots with the Human Emperor, the probability of the Sage Nuwa siding with the Human Emperor was actually not high.

Even if the Sage Nuwa stood on the side of the Human Emperor, she was only two sages. How could she possibly stop four sages?

To the complete surprise of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Tongtian Jiaozhu also chose to defy him and side with the Human Emperor.

It should be noted that during the Investiture of the Gods, the Tongtian Sect Leader set up the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation and had just fought a great battle with the Human Emperor.

The Tongtian Sect Leader, who should have been an enemy of the Human Emperor, chose to side with him at this moment, which naturally exceeded most people's expectations.

"Dao Ancestor, you know very well that even the Heavenly Dao has selfish desires, let alone a sage?" Jiang Heng said with a smile.

As long as a sage still has selfish desires, there must be something that can move him, such as Fuxi, the brother of Nuwa, or the Jie Sect of Tongtian Jiaozhu.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun thought he had everything under control, but this time, he miscalculated once again. Jiang Heng's move was also a ruthless one.
