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

Chapter 234 Live Broadcast!

The message that Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, unexpectedly sensed this time had completely different meanings for the two of them.

If the Heavenly Dao is truly a being that does not belong to the primordial world, then what does this mean? This is something that makes one ponder deeply.

Of course, all of this is just speculation at the moment. We will probably have to wait until Houtu Ancestral Witch's cultivation level advances further to find out the truth.

If Houtu Ancestral Witch can reach the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, she will likely be able to perceive more information and perhaps even learn more of the truth.

"If you want to take that step, the Pangu bloodline should be your opportunity to resonate with all living beings—this is the power of the primordial!" Jiang Heng said.

Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, is different from Jiang Heng. Although Jiang Heng can condense the power of humanity and become the embodiment of humanity, humanity is not Jiang Heng's foundation.

Even without the support of human power, Jiang Heng relied on his own strength to gradually reach the realm of Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

Integrating all scriptures into one, encompassing all paths within one body! This is Jiang Heng's Dao, and the human path is merely one of the myriad Daos.

However, for Houtu, the ancestral witch, the Earthly Path was the foundation for her attainment of enlightenment, and the core of the Earthly Path was undoubtedly the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Houtu, the ancestral witch, has transformed into the Six Paths of Reincarnation. She has mastered reincarnation sufficiently, but what she lacks is the ability to embrace all things with a broad mind.

For Houtu, the ancestral witch, communicating with all spirits and resonating with them might be the key to achieving self-perfection and truly taking that step.

After exchanging cultivation insights with the Ancestral Witch Houtu, Jiang Heng left the Six Paths of Reincarnation alone and headed towards the human realm.

Although Houtu Ancestral Witch did not break through this time, she was only one step away from it, so cultivation was naturally more important at this time.

For the time being, it's unlikely that Jiang Heng will take that step; he needs to accumulate experience for a while longer.

Let's first take a look at the current situation in the human realm, and then we can start from there to solve the problem of the dwindling spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

At this moment, in the human realm, Nezha had a worried look on his face, and in his heart, a fire of anger was burning fiercely.

Since his battle with Archangel Lucifer more than a thousand years ago, Nezha has been dealing with matters in the human world.

Heaven, through extremely insidious means, has converted countless beings in the human world, turning them into faithful believers of Heaven.

Nezha traveled throughout the human world, constantly saving countless lives and eliminating all the methods that Heaven used to harm living beings.

At the beginning, perhaps because he was defeated by Nezha, Lucifer did not intervene in the matter and instead remained silent.

Just when Nezha had finally saved countless lives and was ready to have some fun in the human world, Lucifer jumped out again.

This time, however, Lucifer was wiser. He did not openly spread the faith in Heaven, but instead used a more covert method.

Lucifer dispatched countless angels to various life-bearing planets to control the beings and secretly spread the faith of Heaven.

By the time Nezha realized it, the name of Heaven had already spread throughout the human realm, and countless beings in the human realm began to believe in Heaven once again.

Moreover, this time, Heaven did not choose to use insidious means to convert sentient beings, but instead established a complete faith system.

To the beings of the human realm, even an ordinary angel is like a god, an omnipotent being.

Mortals are foolish and cannot distinguish so many things. After witnessing the power of angels, they all became believers in Heaven.

This put Nezha in a real dilemma! Unless he wiped out all the beings who believed in Heaven, how could he possibly sever their faith in Heaven?

Nezha was naturally incapable of doing such a cruel thing, so he could only choose to capture the leader first and was prepared to kill Lucifer at all costs.

But every time Lucifer revealed himself and was found by Nezha, he would flee without a fight and never bother with Nezha.

With the power to break through space using the Gates of Heaven, if Lucifer was determined to leave, even Nezha would find it difficult to stop him.

But while Nezha was entangled with Lucifer, countless angels secretly traveled to various life-source planets to spread the faith of Heaven.

Enraged, Nezha killed quite a few angels. But Nezha knew that countless angels resided within the gates of Heaven.

As long as faith can be spread, Lucifer probably wouldn't care if Nezha lost a few angels, or even thousands, tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of angels.

This has ironically worsened the situation in the human world, causing countless beings from life-originating planets to become believers in Heaven.

"Nezha, you have disappointed me greatly this time!" Jiang Heng manifested in front of Nezha and said in a deep voice.

Upon seeing Jiang Heng, Nezha felt ashamed and wanted to say something, but in the end, he could only sigh and beg Jiang Heng to punish him.

Although there are many reasons, Nezha knows that he is to blame for the current state of affairs in the human world.

If Nezha had entered the human world, he wouldn't have just played around, but would have immediately started searching for Lucifer's whereabouts.

In a situation where someone was deliberately scheming against someone else, Nezha might have even had the chance to kill Lucifer outright, and then none of the subsequent events would have occurred.

Alternatively, if Nezha had not used his power when facing Lucifer for the first time, but instead used the most forceful means to suppress Lucifer.

Lucifer might have a chance to escape from Nezha, but he would inevitably pay a heavy price. How could he possibly have another chance to spread his faith in the human world?

Once Lucifer is ready, with the innate treasure of the Gates of Heaven in his hand, if he can't defeat Nezha, surely he can outrun him?

Even if we take a step back and assume that Nezha was ruthless enough after entering the gates of Heaven, he could have slaughtered all the ordinary angels.

Even with his immense abilities, Lucifer, now all alone, would likely find it impossible to spread the faith of Heaven in secret.

Therefore, Nezha is entirely to blame for the current state of the human world, and he himself is well aware of this.

"It seems that I had too high expectations for you. This trip to the human realm is actually an opportunity for you!"

"If you can seize this opportunity, you might even be able to go further and truly reach a level comparable to Yang Jian!" Jiang Heng said helplessly.

Defeating Lucifer wasn't the key; severing Heaven's hand from spreading faith was equivalent to saving countless lives in the human world.

At that time, the fortune of the human world will be concentrated on Nezha, making it not difficult for him to take that step.

"All the blame lies with Nezha! Please punish me, Your Majesty!" Nezha said with a face full of shame.

"So be it! It's your nature. I was too demanding. You can't be blamed for this!" Jiang Heng said helplessly.

Jiang Heng also figured it out. Nezha was just like that by nature. He didn't have that much sense of responsibility and never thought of becoming a savior.

Having missed this opportunity, it would be incredibly difficult for Nezha to take that step today.

Even if Nezha eventually manages to break through, it will likely take a very long time before we see even a glimmer of hope for that breakthrough.

However, perhaps this is a case of character determining destiny. Although Jiang Heng's cultivation level is already very high, he is not omnipotent.

"I beg the Human Emperor to intervene. I have tried everything I can to address the current situation in the human realm, but I have been powerless to change anything!"

"But the myriad beings in the human realm are innocent; they have only been seduced by Heaven and become tools of faith!" Nezha said.

"You still have this kind of awareness, so you're not completely hopeless! Fine, I'll help you one more time!" Jiang Heng said.

Although Nezha was mischievous, he was not inherently bad. At this time, it was already quite remarkable that he could still think of the thousands of living beings in the human world.

If Nezha has this kind of heart, and if this matter in the human realm can be resolved smoothly, he is not entirely without a chance.

"Thank you, Human Emperor! Let's go find Lucifer now and kill this despicable fellow!" Nezha said excitedly.

After this period of constant entanglement, Nezha hated Lucifer to the core and wanted to tear him to pieces at every moment.

"There's no rush. You've been in the human realm for so long, do you know why the faith in Heaven has spread so quickly?" Jiang Heng said.

"Isn't it because Heaven has too many schemes and tricks? They have endless ways of bewitching living beings, so faith naturally spreads quickly!" Nezha said without thinking.

Jiang Heng shook his head and said, "You're mistaken. The reason why the faith in Heaven can spread so quickly is not because of Heaven itself."

"Why is that?" Nezha asked, looking puzzled.

"You should know that the human realm is full of beings below the realm of immortals. Their strength is limited, and their knowledge is naturally limited as well!"

"It is the nature of living beings to worship those who are more powerful than themselves, as if they were gods!" Jiang Heng said.

Nezha nodded as if he understood, but he had never come into contact with such a thing before, whether in his previous life as a servant of the saint Nuwa or in this life.

"The reason I isolate the human realm and prevent those above the Immortal Realm from entering it is to avoid such a thing from happening."

"Now, Heaven is spreading its faith across the human realm, turning living beings into tools for harvesting faith. This is robbing living beings of their future!" Jiang Heng continued.

"According to the Human Emperor, once living beings become tools for harvesting faith, they will lose their own selves?" Nezha said thoughtfully.

"That's right! How does the power of faith arise? Doesn't it come from the will of living beings? It is the manifestation of the spirit of living beings!"

"Once a person believes in the god in their heart and entrusts everything to that god, what self-respect does that living being have left?" Jiang Heng said in a deep voice.

"If that's the case, then we should completely eradicate the power of Heaven!" Nezha said firmly.

"Of course, we must uproot Heaven, but before that, we must let the beings of the human world see that the gods in their eyes are nothing more than this!"

Even gods bleed, even gods beg for mercy, and even gods die. Only when reverence is gone can the future hold infinite possibilities! Jiang Heng said.

If it were merely a matter of suppressing Lucifer and completely eradicating the faith in Heaven, it would naturally not be a difficult task for Jiang Heng.

In fact, if Jiang Heng so desired, he could activate the Zhou Tian Star Array right now to completely erase all traces of Heaven.

But the situation in the human world has changed to what it is today. In the hearts of the beings in the human world, heaven has become the embodiment of gods.

The seeds have been sown, and even if paradise is completely destroyed, the traces buried in the hearts of living beings will not be erased.

Over time, there will still be beings in the human world who worship and believe in Heaven, and may even gradually become believers in Heaven.

Only when the beings of the human world truly see that the paradise they worship and believe in is actually just a powerful being.

Without reverence, human beings will naturally have less worship for heaven and instead develop a greater desire for power.

After all, if one possesses great power, one can become a god, so why bother to believe in and worship Heaven?

"Human Emperor, what should we do?" Nezha had already figured things out and asked impatiently.

"Then let's give all living beings in the human world a live broadcast!" Jiang Heng said with a smile.

Nezha looked at Jiang Heng with some confusion, he didn't understand what Jiang Heng meant by "live broadcast" at all.

Jiang Heng simply smiled without saying a word, slowly extended his right hand, and gently pointed towards the entire human realm, whereupon a dazzling light immediately burst forth.

The human realm is composed of stars, including the life-giving star that nurtures life, as well as various other stars.

The entire human realm is not like a large world, but a vast and boundless universe, in which countless stars are distributed.

As Jiang Heng pointed his finger, brilliant starlight rose throughout the human realm, and one star after another began to twinkle.

At this moment, if someone could look down upon the entire human realm, they would find that the entire human realm has been transformed into a massive array.

When Jiang Heng created the human realm, he used three thousand small worlds to create countless stars, which were then scattered throughout the entire human realm.

Using the celestial constellations as a guide, Jiang Heng arranged the entire human realm into the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array, which he used to protect the human realm.

With the existence of the Zhou Tian Star Array, neither beings from the Earthly Immortal Realm nor beings from the Celestial Realm can enter the Human Realm.

Unless a saint intervenes, just like Lucifer was able to enter the human realm this time because the saints Jieyin and Zhunti intervened.

However, normally, although the Zhou Tian Star Array protects the entire human realm, it is in a state of not being activated.

The Zhou Tian Star Array is a top-tier array. If its full power is unleashed, it can even rival a sage.

Moreover, the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array set up by Jiang Heng is based on the entire human realm, and its power is even greater than the previous Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array.

At this moment, Jiang Heng fully activated the Zhou Tian Star Array, unleashing the full power of this top-tier array in the primordial world.

Even if the true forms of the two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, were to descend upon the human realm in this state, it would be impossible for them to break through the Zhou Tian Star Array.

Then, Jiang Heng pointed again, and the entire human realm trembled slightly as an invisible force enveloped it.

One figure after another appeared before Jiang Heng. Nezha was naturally familiar with these figures, for they were all angels from heaven.

As each angel appeared, Nezha's eyes were filled with anticipation. Soon, Lucifer also appeared before him, looking bewildered.

Lucifer seemed completely unaware of what had happened, but when he saw Nezha, his expression changed slightly.

Over the course of more than a thousand years, Lucifer fought Nezha countless times, so he was naturally no stranger to Nezha.

The moment Lucifer saw Nezha, he prepared to unleash the Gates of Heaven and flee. His gaze then turned to Jiang Heng.

A look of horror appeared on Lucifer's face. Lucifer was no stranger to Jiang Heng, the Human Emperor.

In Heaven, all five archangels know that Jiang Heng, the Human Emperor, is Heaven's greatest enemy.

The Heavenly Realm has very detailed records of Jiang Heng's strength and methods, which can be summarized in four words: "unbeatable."

The two sages, Jieyin and Zhunti, once said that if you encounter the human emperor Jiang Heng, the only way is to escape as quickly as possible and never confront him head-on.

In the Immortal Realm, there are quite a few rumors about Jiang Heng, and Lucifer naturally knows how terrifying Jiang Heng is.

Lucifer dared not hesitate for a moment and immediately summoned the Gates of Heaven, preparing to break through space and time to escape.

The Gates of Heaven appeared in Lucifer's hands, but no matter how Lucifer tried to activate them, the Gates of Heaven did not react at all.

Not to mention breaking through space and time, the entire Gate of Heaven seemed to fall into silence, unable to even display a trace of its power.

Lucifer stared at Jiang Heng in horror. He now understood that his inexplicable appearance here was clearly Jiang Heng's doing.

Only the Emperor himself could have brought Lucifer to this place without him even realizing it.

With the Emperor's abilities, it wouldn't be difficult for him to completely imprison the Gate of Heaven, this innate spiritual treasure.

"Run! Why aren't you running anymore? Go ahead and run!" Nezha said with a smug smile.

"Hmph! The Human Emperor himself took action, so I, Lucifer, am defeated today, and naturally I have nothing to say. But what does this have to do with you, Nezha?" Lucifer said disdainfully.

Over the past thousand years, he has fought Nezha countless times. Although he was repeatedly beaten and forced to flee in a sorry state by Nezha, Lucifer never took Nezha seriously.

After all, Lucifer only used a little trick to render Nezha helpless, allowing Heaven to continue to grow and gain countless believers.

"Hmph! Still so stubborn even when death is imminent. I'll see just how stubborn you can be later!" Nezha said in a deep voice.

Nezha saw a hint of disdain on Lucifer's face, and he could naturally guess that Lucifer probably never regarded him as an opponent.

Although Nezha was mischievous, he still had his pride. He knew why Lucifer looked down on him so much.

"Hmph! This time I'm determined to take that step and show Lucifer that he's not worthy of being my opponent!" Nezha thought to himself.

"Everyone's here, let's start the live broadcast!" Jiang Heng said with a smile.

With another flick of his finger, a giant mirror appeared on every life-originating planet in the human realm.

The next instant, the mirror began to ripple like water, reflecting the scene before Jiang Heng's eyes.

"I am Jiang Heng, the first ruler of the human race, and I call myself Emperor Heng! Recently, a heavenly realm has been spreading faith among humans!"

Many beings have chosen to believe in Heaven. Today, I, the Emperor, will show you what this Heaven you believe in truly is!

Jiang Heng's powerful voice resounded throughout the entire human realm. Regardless of their cultivation level, all living beings heard Jiang Heng's voice at this moment.

When the creatures raise their heads, they can see a huge mirror floating in the air, and everything in the scene is clearly reflected in their eyes.

While countless creatures were still in shock, Jiang Heng had already grabbed an angel and, with a gentle pull, tore the angel in two.

"These are the angels you worship, hailed as messengers of Heaven, but in my hands, they are nothing but ants!"

As Jiang Heng's voice rang out again, countless beings in the human realm showed expressions of terror on their faces.

Especially for those beings who have already believed in Heaven, the shock they feel when they see the angels they revere being torn in two is unimaginable.

One angel after another died at Jiang Heng's hands; such a bloody scene constantly shocked the minds of countless living beings.

Faith began to crumble at this moment. Even the most omnipotent beings were so fragile and vulnerable. Even gods could die.

After killing a few angels, Jiang Heng became too lazy to take action himself and instead handed the matter over to Nezha, which was also Nezha's opportunity.

Nezha already understood Jiang Heng's intentions. While tearing the angel apart, he also kept explaining the origin of Heaven.

As the images continued to play, the beings in the human world gradually lost all reverence for heaven.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on Jiang Heng's face. After taking a step, he had already arrived outside the human realm.

"How come the two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, are so free and have time to stroll around the mortal realm?" Jiang Heng said with a beaming smile.

"Hmph! Human Emperor, why do you ask when you already know the answer? Do you think you don't know why my senior brother and I came here?" Saint Zhunti said with a gloomy expression.

"Human Emperor! We have lost this round, but please do not go too far!" said the Sage of Reception.

"Excessive? This is excessive? What if I said this is just the beginning?" Jiang Heng said disdainfully.

The two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, came to the human realm for Lucifer's sake, and it's impossible that they were unaware of what was happening there.

Lucifer is, after all, one of the five archangels of Heaven. Such a powerful figure would not be easily abandoned by the saints Jieyin and Zhunti.

Of course, more importantly, Jiang Heng's live broadcast this time was completely beyond the expectations of the saints Jieyin and Zhunti.

With this live broadcast, the image of heaven in the human world has completely collapsed, and spreading faith has naturally become nonsense.

Even if Heaven finds another opportunity to spread its faith in the human world, it will be an incredibly difficult task.

"Human Emperor! If you make a move now, it might not be a good thing for you!" the Sage said in a deep voice.

"Hahaha! You think you can subdue me with the power of a saint just because your true form has appeared?" Jiang Heng said disdainfully again.

This time, the saints Jieyin and Zhunti did not come in disguise, but in their true forms, their immense holy might already permeating beyond the human realm.

"Hmph! Human Emperor, you are only an incarnation after all. Would your true form dare to step out of the Fire Cloud Cave?" Saint Zhunti said in a deep voice.

The Sage Zhunti seemed somewhat fearless, which was rather unusual given his knowledge of Jiang Heng's strength.

"Believe it or not, even if it's just an avatar, it can still suppress both of you!" Jiang Heng said disdainfully.
