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

Chapter 244 The dust has settled!

The human race and the forces of Heaven gathered in the East Sea Dragon Palace, and with Ao Feng joining them, the three sides were eyeing the East Sea Dragon King covetously.

At this critical moment, the current Human Emperor spoke out, declaring that he would completely sever the connection between the human race and the dragon race.

As the current Human Emperor, who has gathered the fortune of the human race, he is naturally qualified to completely sever the fortune between the human race and the dragon race.

If this succeeds, the dragon race will no longer belong to the human race, will no longer be connected to the human race by fate, and will no longer be the totem beast of the human race.

Without the protection of humans, the dragon race's fortune will be greatly damaged, and its gradual recovery will come to an abrupt halt.

Both Heaven and the current Human Emperor are well aware of this; the only one who could possibly be kept in the dark is Ao Feng.

Of course, even if Ao Feng knew the truth, he would have no other choice now that he was in such a predicament.

Once the fortunes of humans and dragons are completely severed, the entire human race will not fare well either, and will inevitably lose a lot of fortune as a result.

Of course, the human race's fortune is already at its peak, and even if some fortune is lost, the human race's fortune will still be at its peak.

But the rise and fall of an era is an inherent truth. And the beginning of decline often starts with something that may seem insignificant.

The current human emperor, Tian, ​​may have known that the human race's fortune would decline as a result, but he still chose to do so.

On the one hand, it was to completely occupy the four seas, so as to alleviate the increasingly difficult cultivation methods of the human race.

On the other hand, whether the current Human Emperor Tian has his own ulterior motives is something only he himself knows best.

For Heaven, this matter, regardless of success or failure, will be a sure-fire way to make money.

If successful, the dragons will return to the Western Sea and completely submit to Heaven, which will greatly increase Heaven's strength and fortune.

Even if they fail, the dragon race and the human race will definitely turn against each other completely, with no room for reconciliation whatsoever.

For the two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, being able to sow discord between the human race and the dragon race and take the opportunity to weaken the human race was something they naturally wanted.

When the current Human Emperor severed the fate between humanity and the Dragon Clan, everything was already a foregone conclusion.

But as that voice rang out, the violently shaken fortunes of the human and dragon races miraculously stabilized once again.

Not only that, but the destinies of the two races, which were originally about to be completely separated, have now become closely intertwined once again.

Just as the current human emperor Tian was in shock, Jiang Heng appeared before everyone with Yang Jian and Nezha.

"And who are you, and why do you say I am not qualified?" Emperor Tian, ​​the current emperor of the human race, stared at Jiang Heng and said in a deep voice.

Emperor Tianzheng was filled with doubt and uncertainty. As the current emperor of the human race, he was naturally able to sense the changes in the human race's fortune.

He had clearly severed the ties between the dragon race and the human race just now, but it had no effect. Could it be because of the person in front of him?

But what kind of being could possibly influence the fate of humanity? A terrifying thought quickly surfaced in the mind of Emperor Tian.

"I have not shown my presence among the human race for a long time. It seems that the younger generation of humans has forgotten my existence!"

"However, those two birdmen over there, you should be quite familiar with me, right?" Jiang Heng said with a smile.

The current Human Emperor Tian may know of the existence of Jiang Heng, the progenitor of the Human Emperors, but he has never actually met Jiang Heng.

However, the two archangels in Heaven must know quite a bit about Jiang Heng, this human emperor.

"Greetings, Human Emperor! Heaven has not interfered in the affairs of the human race this time!" Archangel Gabriel stepped forward to pay his respects and said solemnly.

Although the two archangels, Gabriel and Michael, had never met Jiang Heng, they were quite familiar with this human emperor.

Just like Lucifer back then, as a great enemy of Heaven, all the high-ranking members of Heaven knew about Jiang Heng.

When planning this scheme against the Dragon Clan, the two sages, Jieyin and Zhunti, had instructed that they must be careful that the Human Emperor, Jiang Heng, might intervene.

The two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, were terrified of Jiang Heng's schemes, as the repeated lessons had left a deep impression on them.

For this reason, Heaven's actions this time were unusually cautious. Just as Gabriel said, they did not directly interfere in human affairs.

As for the Dragon Clan, it was just their own internal strife. The two of them were only there to help out at Ao Feng's invitation, so what was wrong with that?

"What a pity! After today, only two of the five archangels in Heaven will remain!" Jiang Heng said.

As far as Jiang Heng was concerned, if he had wanted to resolve the issue between the human race and the dragon race earlier, he wouldn't have waited until today, and none of this would have happened.

The fact that they waited so long, and even stirred things up behind the scenes, was naturally to expose the problems between the human and dragon races.

Just as Jiang Heng once said, a short pain is worse than a long one. Solving all problems once and for all, like scraping the bone to remove poison, is the most correct approach.

As for Heaven, since it dared to appear in the East Sea Dragon Palace, regardless of whether it directly interfered in human affairs, killing it would be the right thing to do.

Upon hearing this, Gabriel and Michael exchanged a glance, and in each other's eyes, they both saw an undisguised fear.

They then realized that Jiang Heng, the Human Emperor, was indeed as the legends said—domineering and unreasonable.

Of the five archangels of Heaven, Lucifer has already fallen at the hands of this human emperor. If Gabriel and Michael also die, wouldn't only two of the five archangels of Heaven be left?

"Human Emperor! The two supreme lords have instructed that if the Human Emperor appears this time, Heaven will immediately retreat and never participate in this matter again."

"I beg Your Majesty to consider the dignity of the Sage and not to make things too difficult for Heaven!" Archangel Michael said respectfully.

"It seems that the two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, have learned a lot. Have they gained some knowledge? In that case, I will give the two saints some face."

To avoid you accusing me of bullying the weak, I won't take action this time. But whether you live or die depends on your own abilities.

"Yang Jian, Kong Xuan, I'm leaving these two birdmen in Heaven to you!" Jiang Heng said with a smile, changing the subject.

Jiang Heng's promise not to intervene was indeed a great concession to the two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, but Gabriel and Michael still looked solemn.

Kong Xuan was one thing, but although he was also a peak Quasi-Saint, he was not well-known in the Three Realms. Gabriel and Michael did not think they were weaker than Kong Xuan.

However, Yang Jian is a renowned powerhouse in the Three Realms, and his title of "the strongest below the Saint" has been proven through numerous battles.

Of course, Gabriel and Michael also understood that if Emperor Jiang Heng personally took action, they would truly have no hope at all.

Gabriel and Michael exchanged a glance, knowing that this battle was inevitable. They could only secretly gather their strength and prepare to deal with Yang Jian and Kong Xuan.

Then, Jiang Heng's gaze shifted to Emperor Tian, ​​the current human emperor of the human race, who was already drenched in cold sweat.

If Di Tian still doesn't understand who Jiang Heng is after just that conversation, then he is truly beyond redemption.

When Jiang Heng's gaze focused on him, Di Tian seemed to snap out of a daze, bowed to Jiang Heng, and said:

"Emperor Tian, ​​the current emperor of the human race, pays homage to Emperor Heng, the progenitor of the human race!"

There are not many legends about Jiang Heng, the ancestor of the human race, among the human race. Most of the legends are about Jiang Heng's identity as the first sovereign of the human race.

But as the current human emperor, Di Tian naturally knew many secrets that ordinary humans did not know, including the identity of Jiang Heng.

Di Tian knew that the human ancestor before him was not only the first ruler of the human race, but also the only saint of the human race today.

The reason why the human race has achieved its current prosperity is precisely because of the existence of this human ancestor.

This is the very ancestor of humankind before us, who accomplished one astonishing feat after another.

The fact that humanity can be fearless of any sage and become the protagonist of the world today is largely due to the great contributions of the human ancestor before us.

However, Jiang Heng, the progenitor of the human race, has never interfered in human affairs and has basically stopped showing himself among humans.

Over time, it is not surprising that Jiang Heng, the progenitor of the human race, was forgotten by the human race.

"It's rare that you still remember my name. Do you know where you went wrong this time?" Jiang Heng said expressionlessly.

If possible, Jiang Heng really didn't want to get involved in human affairs, but this time, the situation was a little different.

It is no exaggeration to say that this matter is no longer just about the dragon race; it involves the future of the entire human race.

"I hereby report to Emperor Heng: I have no choice but to do this. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the Earthly Immortal Realm is scarce, while the human race is numerous!"

"I had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure in order to meet the daily cultivation needs of the human race. All of this is for the sake of the human race!" Di Tian said sadly.

At this moment, Di Tian appeared compassionate and empathetic, truly resembling a human emperor who cared for the sake of humanity and fulfilled his responsibilities.

Unfortunately, no matter how realistic Di Tian's acting was, it couldn't fool Jiang Heng, who already knew the whole truth.

"At first, I also thought you were just stupid, which is why you focused your attention on the Dragon Clan instead of the Heavenly Court and Paradise."

Later I realized that you're not stupid at all. On the contrary, you're an extremely intelligent person, but unfortunately, your cleverness backfired! Jiang Heng shook his head and said.

"Emperor Heng! What I just said came from the bottom of my heart, and my heart is as clear as the sun and moon!" Emperor Tian cried out in grief.

"Alright! Alright! You are, after all, the current Human Emperor of the Human Race. I was originally going to give you some face, but why are you so shameless?"

"If you truly care about the human race wholeheartedly, then tell me, what is your deal with the Primordial Sage?" Jiang Heng said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Di Tian's expression changed drastically. Cold sweat poured from his forehead, and his body went limp, causing him to collapse to the ground.

Di Tian could never have imagined that such a secret matter, which even Heaven did not know, could be known by Jiang Heng.

However, regardless of how Jiang Heng found out, once this matter was exposed, Di Tian instantly understood that he had no chance of survival.

"Why? Why do you think I should have reached the Quasi-Saint realm and become the most outstanding Human Emperor of the human race? With my talent, I should have stepped into the Quasi-Saint realm and become the most outstanding Human Emperor of the human race."

But at this very moment, the spiritual energy of the Earthly Immortal Realm is becoming increasingly scarce. What can I do? If I don't fight, am I willing to accept this fate?

"You human ancestors, living in seclusion in the Fire Cloud Cave, have you ever cared about the affairs of the human race?" Di Tian said with a face full of grief and indignation.

Jiang Heng shook his head. Di Tian thought that he had extremely high talent and that entering the Quasi-Saint realm should have been a piece of cake.

Unfortunately, at this very moment, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the Immortal Realm was becoming increasingly scarce, which was naturally bad news for Emperor Tian and the human race.

The cultivation of the Human Emperor was already extremely difficult. With the sparse spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it would be countless times more difficult for Di Tian to advance further.

Moreover, with such a large human population, the human race would inevitably be affected by the thinning of the natural energy, and at that time, the human race was already in a precarious situation.

Once the terrible event of the Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man occurs, the entire human race will be greatly impacted, and its fortune may be greatly diminished as a result.

Once the human race's fortunes decline, Di Tian's ambition to reach the Quasi-Emperor realm will become even more of a pipe dream. Moreover, as the Human Emperor, Di Tian will undoubtedly be the first to bear the brunt.

"Although I do not interfere in the affairs of the human race, it is not that I have not taken action. Why is the spiritual energy of the Earth Immortal Realm no longer decreasing? Have you ever thought about it?"

This was supposed to be a calamity for our human race. If we could have survived it, humanity would have been reborn. Unfortunately, you chose the wrong path.

"Even if you had set your sights on Heaven and the Heavenly Court, I would have thought more highly of you, but unfortunately you didn't!" Jiang Heng said with some regret.

Di Tian was indeed very talented and a real genius, but unfortunately he was ultimately blinded by greed and chose the wrong path.

The appearance of Yuanshi Tianzun gave Di Tian hope. In order to become a Quasi-Saint, Di Tian even abandoned his responsibilities as the Human Emperor.

As for why Di Tian chose Yuanshi Tianzun instead of seeking help from the ancestor of the human race, it was because of the human spirit that Jiang Heng had established long ago.

Humanity must strive for self-improvement! No matter how difficult the situation, self-reliance will be humanity's only option, rather than relying on others.

When humanity faces calamity, the ancestors of humanity, such as Jiang Heng, are not inactive; they will fight valiantly for humanity.

However, this is not a reason for the human race to rely entirely on human ancestors such as Jiang Heng while doing nothing themselves.

At this critical juncture, it is precisely the time for the Human Emperor to set an example, lead the human race through arduous struggle, and revitalize the nation.

Instead of starting with himself, Di Tian chose to take a shortcut. How could the ancestors of the human race, such as Jiang Heng, possibly care about Di Tian?

Of course, this is not a coincidence, but rather because the human race itself has become somewhat corrupt after the passage of time.

Just like the dragon race, there are always dragons who cannot recognize reality and are always immersed in the glory of the past, which has led to the current situation.

The human race of today has probably long forgotten how the original human race faced the cruel primordial world when they were created by the sage Nuwa.

Without any cultivation or methods of cultivation, the original human race still tenaciously survived on the primordial land.

The human race of today has long forgotten how uncompromising they were when facing the powerful demon race.

The current state of the human race is not due to Jiang Heng alone, but rather the result of the collective efforts of countless human beings.

When the glorious period lasted too long, the human race forgot its past self-improvement and began to consider itself the protagonist of the world.

Like many dragons, they are complacent in their past glories but have never thought about how to create a better future.

The existence of an Emperor Tian is not accidental; rather, it represents many people in the human race today, which is also the crux of the human race's current problems.

The human race has reached a point where destruction is necessary for construction, which is why Jiang Heng allowed Di Tian's behavior to be allowed to be exposed all at once.

"Hahaha! Since ancient times, everything has been nothing more than the victor taking all and the loser being condemned. This time, I, the emperor, have lost, so naturally I have nothing to say."

"But I have no regrets. If I were given another chance, I would still do the same!" Di Tian laughed loudly and said.

Di Tian is not only a genius with exceptional talent, but also a ruthless and cunning warlord in a chaotic world. He can play the victim, but he is also incredibly cruel.

Knowing he had no chance of survival, Di Tian completely let go, abandoning his pitiful appearance and revealing his true, ruthless nature.

For such a person, as long as it benefits them, they don't care about the life or death of others; they are pure egoists.

"You brought this upon yourself, but I will settle the score with Yuanshi Tianzun!" Jiang Heng shook his head and said.

Di Tian believed himself to be exceptionally intelligent and, after much scheming, attempted to break through the limits of the Human Emperor and thus enter the Quasi-Saint realm.

Just as Di Tian said, once he achieves this, he can stand shoulder to shoulder with many of the ancestors of the human race and become one of the greatest human emperors.

But Di Tian still doesn't understand that in the eyes of the sage, he was not only always an ant, but also nothing more than a pawn in the hands of the sage.

Just like this agreement reached with Yuanshi Tianzun, what Yuanshi Tianzun valued was only Di Tian's status as the current human emperor, not Di Tian himself.

If only Di Tian is dealt with, it will not be enough to completely solve the current problems of the human race, but Jiang Heng does not intend to continue to interfere in the affairs of the human race.

"Judging by the time, Fuxi should be arriving in the Immortal Realm soon!" Jiang Heng thought to himself.

Thousands of years have passed since Fuxi was reincarnated into the human world, and some things in the human world have settled down.

Next, Fuxi will inevitably enter the Immortal Realm and become the new Human Emperor of the human race; this was destined long ago.

Jiang Heng had made a promise with the sage Nuwa that he would do his best to help Fuxi become a sage and the human emperor. Jiang Heng was fulfilling that promise.

Only by becoming the Human Emperor and gathering the most prosperous fortune of the human race could Fuxi possibly become a new sage in this great calamity.

This great calamity originated in the human realm and will eventually sweep across the three realms of heaven, earth, and humanity. Fuxi will be an extremely crucial link in it.

On the other hand, after Jiang Heng appeared, the situation was instantly reversed. Heaven itself could not protect itself, and even the current human emperor could not escape death.

Ao Feng was filled with resentment, but under the watchful eyes of many powerful dragons, he didn't dare to move an inch. At this moment, he understood that he had already lost.

"Ao Feng! You have no idea how miserable the dragon race went through to finally achieve what it is today."

Without humans, my dragon race would not only lack the strength we have today, but I fear that by now, my dragon race would be on the verge of extinction!

"My dragon race may be proud, but before the human race, we must lower our proud heads!" The Dragon King of the East Sea sighed.

The dragon race's annexation to the human race was not only due to their shared destiny, but also because of the human race's strength.

In the primordial world, everything can be fake; only invincible power is the foundation that guarantees everything.

Humans are stronger than dragons, and by a great deal. When facing humans, dragons must always lower their proud heads.

Moreover, if Jiang Heng hadn't personally taken action back then, bearing endless pressure and suppressing the East Sea Eye, how long could the Dragon Clan have held on?

Whether from an emotional or rational perspective, it is only right for the dragon race to return to the human race. Unfortunately, some dragons have never been able to recognize this reality.

"Make your move! I've lost this time, so I have nothing to say!" Ao Feng said, head held high.

The Dragon King of the East Sea waved his hand, and powerful dragons escorted Ao Feng and the other dragons away. Their fate was sealed.

Everything has been settled. Because of Jiang Heng's existence, the Dragon King of the East Sea must use drastic measures this time.

Only by completely eliminating the unstable factors within the dragon race can the dragon race maintain stability throughout this great calamity.

Necessary sacrifices are always unavoidable. Compared to the future of the dragon race, Ao Feng and the other young dragons are nothing.

Di Tian is, after all, the current human emperor of the human race, and he carries the destiny of the human race. Even a saint cannot personally take action against Di Tian.

After all, once the human race's fortune turns against them, even a saint cannot withstand it. Therefore, Jiang Heng had no choice but to take action personally.

Just as Jiang Heng was about to make his move, a smile appeared on his face. He took a step and was already outside the Three Realms.

Not far away, Yang Jian and Kong Xuan were fighting with two archangels from Heaven, but the scene wasn't particularly intense.

Gabriel faced off against Yang Jian, and after only a short exchange, he was completely suppressed by Yang Jian.

Michael attacked Kong Xuan, and the two fought evenly, but Kong Xuan undoubtedly had the upper hand.

Although Kong Xuan has kept a low profile in the Three Realms all these years, his strength is far greater than it was during the Investiture of the Gods.

Jiang Heng had never mistreated Kong Xuan, having already passed on the "Phoenix Treasure Technique" to him, which allowed Kong Xuan to further improve his strength.

However, even after cultivating the Phoenix Treasure Technique, it would still be extremely difficult for Kong Xuan to reach Yang Jian's current level.

Of course, being merely an archangel in Heaven is nothing to Kong Xuan now.

"Since we're here, why bother hiding anything?" Jiang Heng said loudly.

As soon as Jiang Heng finished speaking, three figures appeared before him: the two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, and the third was Yuanshi Tianzun.

"Since the Human Emperor knows we have come here, he must already know our intentions!" said the Sage of Reception.

"Put your matters aside for now. I have a score to settle with the Primordial Sage!" Jiang Heng said.

It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early! Jiang Heng originally intended to settle accounts with Yuanshi Tianzun about this matter, but Yuanshi Tianzun himself arrived first.

"Hmph! If the Human Emperor wants to settle scores with me, I'm ready anytime!" Yuanshi Tianzun said coldly, his expression turning slightly grim.
