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

Chapter 23: The Battle of Human Geniuses!

Among the human race, the two ancestral witches, Houtu and Xuanming, witnessed many amazing things, all of which were things they had never heard of before.

This is precisely what Jiang Heng has been working on for hundreds of years. He has always believed that the development of the human race is by no means merely an improvement in strength.

Whether it's weaving cloth and making clothes, building houses, or creating writing, it's all for the purpose of making ordinary people's lives better.

At the same time, Jiang Heng is also working hard to establish the belief of the human race, which is an essential factor for a civilization to continue to develop.

Under Jiang Heng's guidance, over the past few hundred years, the human race has not only improved its strength but has also gradually created a glorious civilization.

When Houtu and Xuanming, the two ancestral witches, were traveling among the human race, what attracted them most were naturally the various exquisitely designed clothes.

This was naturally Jiang Heng's doing, and it included not only ordinary clothes, but also various magical robes with considerable power.

Seeing an opportunity, the Xuanming Ancestral Witch was overjoyed and extorted a large sum of money from Jiang Heng, taking away dozens of exquisite robes.

Houtu, the ancestral witch, was quite reserved, but in the end she still selected several exquisitely made and beautifully presented robes.

As the saying goes, clothes make the man and a saddle makes the horse. After the two ancestral witches put on their new robes, even Jiang Heng couldn't help but be a little lost in thought.

The Xuanming Ancestral Witch on the left is wearing a pink robe, her playfulness tinged with cuteness, giving off the feeling of a girl next door coming of age.

The ancestral witch Houtu on the right is wearing a bright yellow robe, and her jet-black hair is piled high in a bun.

Her eyes were bright and clear, her eyebrows were delicate and arched, and her long eyelashes naturally curled up in a beautiful arc.

Her beautiful face was lightly made up, her skin was fair and smooth, and she looked elegant and sophisticated.

One can't help but sigh, what a celestial maiden descended to earth!

"Hahaha! Sister Houtu, look how dumbfounded this guy is! But, you're really beautiful, I love you too!"

Upon seeing Jiang Heng's stunned expression, the quirky and mischievous Xuanming Ancestral Witch immediately burst into laughter, instantly erasing any semblance of her girl-next-door persona.

Jiang Heng was quite speechless. If the Xuanming Ancestral Witch didn't speak, she would definitely be an unparalleled beauty. But as soon as she started talking, wasn't she just a little witch?

What a lovely girl! Why did she have to have such a mouth?

Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, smiled slightly. Seeing Jiang Heng's absent-minded gaze, a blush unconsciously appeared on her face.

"The two Ancestral Witches have arrived at the perfect time! Today marks the opening of our Human Race's Genius Battle. Why don't you two join in the fun?"

Jiang Heng quickly came to his senses. He could only say that the two Ancestral Witches' attire was so outstanding that anyone would be amazed.

"Great! Great! Sister Houtu, let's go together. I want to see just how good the human geniuses are!" Xuanming Ancestral Witch said excitedly.

"Then I'll have to bother you!" said Houtu Ancestral Witch gently.

Today, the human race is adorned with banners, and everyone's face is filled with excitement as they gather at the heart of the human race.

After hundreds of years of development, the human race now numbers in the hundreds of millions. With so many people gathered together, the scene is naturally extremely spectacular.

In response, Jiang Heng had already instructed Suirenshi and others to make preparations, using the technique of turning Sumeru into a mustard seed to create an extremely spacious area.

With hundreds of millions of people gathered in this space, it didn't feel crowded at all, so there was no risk of trampling each other.

Jiang Heng also specially instructed Suirenshi and others to prepare countless magic mirrors, which could clearly display the various arenas of this human race genius battle.

Even those without any cultivation could clearly see the battles taking place on various arenas through the enormous mirror.

Jiang Heng attaches great importance to this human race genius battle, and with a full hundred years to prepare, he naturally wants to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Suirenshi and others did not disappoint Jiang Heng. All sorts of arrangements were made to ensure that the human race's genius battle could be held smoothly.

When the time was almost up, at Suirenshi's signal, Jiang Heng took a step forward and arrived in the heavens.

Jiang Heng did not conceal his cultivation level. His cultivation at the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor erupted, his Great Perfection Sacred Body condensed, and five extraordinary phenomena appeared.

In an instant, an incomparably powerful aura erupted from Jiang Heng, soaring into the sky and revealing itself to all the humans.

The five extraordinary phenomena—the Chaotic Lotus, the Golden Sea of ​​Bitterness, the Immortal King Descending to the Nine Heavens, the Yin-Yang Diagram of Life and Death, and the Splendid Mountains and Rivers—converge.

At this moment, Jiang Heng was like a Heavenly Emperor sitting high in the ninth heaven, his boundless aura constantly shaking the hearts of countless humans.

Sensing the immense, unbelievably powerful force emanating from Jiang Heng, all the humans unconsciously knelt on the ground.

"Greetings, Emperor Heng!"

All the humans spoke in unison, and the enormous sound wave soared into the sky, scattering the clouds above.

Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, once again showed surprise. She had no doubt about Jiang Heng's strength, after all, Jiang Heng had once overpowered Zhurong, the Ancestral Witch.

What surprised Houtu Zuwu was the attitude of all the humans towards Jiang Heng. She could see that the eyes of countless humans looking at Jiang Heng were full of admiration.

Houtu, the ancestral witch, naturally did not know that the current state of the human race was entirely due to Jiang Heng's efforts.

It was Jiang Heng who enabled the human race to possess four Great Luo Golden Immortals, it was Jiang Heng who improved the lives of ordinary human beings, and it was Jiang Heng who spread the Heaven-Covering Emperor Law throughout the entire human race.

There are actually not many humans who have seen Jiang Heng, but what Jiang Heng did has long been deified among humans.

In the hearts of countless humans, without Jiang Heng, the human race would not be in its current state, and they naturally hold Jiang Heng in high esteem.

Now, Jiang Heng is displaying his strength without reservation in front of countless humans, a strength far surpassing that of the four Great Luo Golden Immortals of the human race.

Countless humans felt Jiang Heng's powerful aura, and their worship of him naturally reached new heights, even to the point of blind devotion.

This is also why Houtu, the ancestral witch, was amazed. Among the witch clan, ordinary witches also worshipped the ancestral witch, but none had ever reached such a level.

While Houtu and Xuanming were shocked, they also realized that Jiang Heng's prestige among humans was far more terrifying than they had imagined.

Looking at that powerful and confident figure, Houtu Ancestral Witch's eyes were filled with wonder. What kind of being could inspire such worship among billions of humans?

"Today is a grand event for our human race. Countless human geniuses have gathered here, and today they will show their brilliance to everyone!"

I believe that the geniuses of my human race are by no means inferior, and they will surely be able to demonstrate the style, tenacity, and strength of my human race!

Everything will be decided on the arena. Let me see just how outstanding the genius of my human race really is!

"I hereby declare the first Human Race Genius Battle officially open!" Jiang Heng announced loudly.

"War! War! War!"

Countless humans were filled with fervor, shouting loudly, which also ignited the fighting spirit of the participating human geniuses.

With a command from Jiang Heng, the first Human Genius Battle officially began. Under the arrangement of Suirenshi and others, one human genius after another began to take the stage.

Because this is the first Human Race Genius Battle, and it has been in preparation for a century, the number of human race geniuses who have signed up for the competition is extremely terrifying, reaching several million.

If millions of human geniuses were to clash in battle, it would take at least several years for each battle to be fought.

In order to eliminate those whose cultivation level does not meet the standard as soon as possible, the first test is actually a test of cultivation level. Only those who reach the Immortal Level 3 and the Dao-Severing Realm can enter the next round.

After a series of tests, all the human geniuses who signed up for the competition actually passed this test.

This also means that the human race has at least several million True Immortals. In the current prehistoric world, this number is not large, but it is by no means small either.

Jiang Heng was extremely satisfied with this result, which meant that his goal had been initially achieved.

Jiang Heng's main goal in organizing this Human Race Genius Battle was to ignite the human race's passion for cultivation and improve their strength as much as possible.

The fact that millions of people have reached the Immortal Realm of the Third Stage and thus possessed the cultivation of a True Immortal undoubtedly demonstrates that Jiang Heng's decision to hold the Human Race Genius Battle was extremely wise.

This situation was beyond the expectations of the four members of the Suiren clan. After discussing it, the four members of the Suiren clan had no choice but to add another test.

Ultimately, after a selection process, tens of thousands of people still made it into the arena battles.

The rules of the arena battle are very simple: the winner advances and the loser is eliminated. Only the strongest human genius can go all the way to the end.

Thousands of arenas rose up at the same time, which means that thousands of battles will break out simultaneously.

Ordinary humans can only focus on the outcome of a single match, but for those with profound cultivation, thousands of battles can be clearly seen with a sweep of their divine sense.

Although the Wu tribe does not have a primordial spirit, Xuanming and Houtu are, after all, ancestral witches, and their powerful strength is enough to allow them to pay attention to all battles.

To the two ancestral witches, Houtu and Xuanming, the human geniuses currently engaged in battle were actually only so-so in terms of cultivation.

However, after watching several battles, the expressions on the faces of the two ancestral witches, Houtu and Xuanming, gradually became solemn.

In the eyes of the two Ancestral Witches, the cultivation level of human geniuses was indeed not high, but they discovered that the combat power of each human genius was extremely strong.

After a silent comparison, the two Ancestral Witches were astonished to discover that, at the same level, the Witch Clan was no match for the human geniuses.

The Wu Clan were the overlords of the primordial world. Due to their powerful physical bodies, demons of the same realm were generally no match for them.

But now, the Witch Clan has actually been outmatched by the Human Clan. This shows just how powerful the Human Clan is.

The two began to question the meaning of life again. If such a human race is still weak and incompetent, then what is their witch race?

"Two Ancestral Witches, are the geniuses of my human race still worthy of your discerning eyes?"

Jiang Heng could guess what the two ancestral witches were thinking just by looking at their expressions, so he smiled and asked.
