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

Chapter 255 The War of the Lords of the Human Realm!

The sage Nuwa eventually left helplessly. Just as Jiang Heng said, the affairs of the human race are ultimately the affairs of the human race.

No matter how much of the Heavenly Dao and Dao Ancestor Hongjun's schemes were involved in Taihao's life, the fact that Taihao was a human cannot be changed.

Jiang Heng will only personally deal with Taihao if Taihao does something harmful to the human race, like the former Di Tian.

If it were merely a contest of supremacy within the human realm, even if Fuxi ultimately lost, it would simply be due to his inferior skills, and there would be nothing to say about it.

Of course, the human race should resolve its own affairs. Jiang Heng did not allow the Sage Nuwa to interfere in human affairs, nor could Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao.

Condensing fortune is nothing special; Jiang Heng and the sage Nuwa actually possessed similar methods in Fuxi's case.

Jiang Heng temporarily set aside matters concerning the human realm, as it was clear that it would be a long time before Fuxi and Taihao could determine a victor.

For Jiang Heng, there is something even more important to do now: the Twelve Ancestral Witches are about to be fully revived.

Last time, when plotting against the Heavenly Court, Jiang Heng had Yang Jian reveal the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation within the Heavenly Court.

Yang Jian, through the combined power of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, miraculously acquired the true form of Pangu, which enabled him to suppress the Sage Zhunti in one fell swoop.

At that time, Dao Ancestor Hongjun had already seen that the Twelve Ancestral Witches had begun to recover, which meant there was hope for the primordial world to reappear.

However, the initial revival of the Twelve Ancestral Witches does not mean that their former consciousness has been reawakened.

The initial recovery refers to the fact that the imprints left by the twelve ancestral witches in the primordial world have begun to reunite, and their consciousness is actually still in the recovery stage.

Otherwise, Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao would have sensed it long ago, and they would naturally not have allowed the Twelve Ancestral Witches to be revived.

The marks of the Twelve Ancestral Witches began to reassemble. Once the marks were successfully condensed, the consciousness of the Twelve Ancestral Witches would slowly develop until they were fully revived.

This will take some time, but judging from the current situation, it won't take too long before the marks of the Twelve Ancestral Witches are fully restored.

However, the consciousness and imprint of the Twelve Ancestral Witches are currently attached to the Twelve Bronze Men, and in the long run, this is naturally not a solution.

If the Twelve Ancestral Witches want to restore their former state, a physical body is absolutely essential, as it was the foundation upon which the Witch Clan was once able to dominate the world.

For Jiang Heng, helping the Twelve Ancestral Witches reshape their physical bodies was naturally not a difficult task, but that was not the key point.

In the past, after the great god Pangu created the world, his body transformed into all things, and his primordial spirit split into three saints: Taiqing, Yuanshi, and Tongtian Jiaozhu.

The essence of Pangu, the great god, transformed into the Wu race. Among them, the Twelve Ancestral Wu were the first Wu race born from the essence of Pangu's heart and blood.

It is not difficult to see that the Wu tribe was born from the essence and blood of the god Pangu, and is actually the direct descendant of the god Pangu.

This is why, although the Wu tribe does not have a primordial spirit, their physical bodies are incredibly powerful. The true form of the Wu tribe is equivalent to a weakened version of the true form of Pangu.

If the Twelve Ancestral Witches are to be fully restored to their prime, the key is not to reshape their physical bodies, but to restore the Pangu bloodline.

With Jiang Heng's current abilities, it is not difficult to condense a powerful physical body, but to restore the Pangu bloodline is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

There was a reason why Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao established the great trend of the Heavenly Dao, causing the complete annihilation of the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the complete extermination of the Witch Clan.

On the one hand, it was because the strength of the Wu Clan was too great, which was not conducive to the Heavenly Dao and Dao Ancestor Hongjun's control over the primordial world, and this was the way to their death.

On the other hand, the Wu Clan is a direct descendant of the Pangu Formation, and for this reason alone, Heaven and Dao Ancestor Hongjun had no choice but to eliminate the Wu Clan.

With Jiang Heng's current strength, coupled with his memories from his previous life, there are very few secrets in the primordial world that Jiang Heng is unaware of.

Jiang Heng discovered long ago that Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao had begun to plan and continuously erase the mark of the Great God Pangu in the primordial world.

Although Jiang Heng still doesn't know the reason, all he needs is that this matter is important to the Heavenly Dao and Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and that's enough.

Did Heaven and Dao Ancestor Hongjun want to erase the mark left by the Great God Pangu in the primordial world? Jiang Heng deliberately chose to do the opposite.

The complete revival of the Twelve Ancestral Witches is only the first step. If this is accomplished, Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao will surely have a great headache.

Soon, Jiang Heng condensed a avatar and stepped out of the primordial world, heading towards the vast chaotic sea.

This was not Jiang Heng's first trip to the Chaos Sea. Although the Chaos Sea was extremely desolate, it was not without living beings.

Many of the violent and mindless Great Dao Demon Gods roamed freely in the Chaos Sea.

These Great Dao Demon Gods varied in strength, but all of them were born from chaos and can be considered innate deities.

Although these Great Dao Demon Gods are comparable to the three thousand Great Dao Demon Gods before Pangu created the world, their physical bodies are also extremely powerful.

The former Three Thousand Great Dao Demon Gods were born of the will of the Great Dao, and were born to control a Great Dao, so their strength was naturally terrifying and boundless.

The Great Dao Demon Gods living in the Chaos Sea today are essentially no different from the three thousand Great Dao Demon Gods of the past, except that they are not born with control over a Great Dao.

Jiang Heng came to the Chaos Sea this time to kill the Great Dao Demon Gods and collect their flesh and blood essence.

With the essence of the flesh and blood of these Great Dao Demon Gods, Jiang Heng was able to begin the initial reshaping of the physical bodies of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

Among the twelve bronze figures, there is the essence and blood left behind by the twelve ancestral witches, which will be the key to the revival of the twelve ancestral witches.

The Chaos Sea is vast and boundless, and the Great Dao Demon God is like a drop in the ocean. It is naturally not an easy task to find the trace of the Great Dao Demon God.

Jiang Heng never intended to achieve success overnight. He was comprehending the Great Dao in the Chaos Sea while constantly hunting down Great Dao Demon Gods.

As time went by, while Jiang Heng's alter egos continued to hunt down the Great Dao Demon Gods, the situation in the human realm was already in turmoil.

Friction between the two great empires is increasing, and fierce conflicts break out from time to time, casting a shadow of war over the entire human realm.

Currently, the two major empires in the human realm are roughly equal in strength. If a full-scale war were to break out, it would be difficult to say who would emerge victorious.

But one thing is certain: once the great war breaks out, many living beings in the human realm will perish as a result.

If the battle becomes a stalemate, it is not impossible that half of the human beings in the world could perish in this epic, evenly matched war.

Faced with this situation, Fuxi disregarded everyone's objections and made an astonishing decision: he would fight Taihao to determine the fate of the world.

Fuxi and Taihao fought a one-on-one battle. Whoever won would unify the human realm and become its ruler, while the other would have to surrender unconditionally.

If Fuxi's strength surpasses that of Taihao, then making such a decision would not be surprising.

If Taihao agrees, Fuxi's chances of victory are extremely high. If Taihao does not agree, the morale of his troops will surely be weakened.

In a closely contested competition, even a slight advantage can be exaggerated into a decisive victory, which is a rather wise approach.

However, Fuxi was not without his battles with Taihao. In fact, in the course of their constant conflicts, Fuxi had fought Taihao with all his might on more than one occasion.

Judging from the results of the battles, each one ended in a draw. However, from the perspective of the overall situation, Taihao even held a certain advantage.

It's no exaggeration to say that if Fuxi and Taihao were to fight each other with all their might, most people would probably favor Taihao over Fuxi.

Therefore, when faced with Fuxi's challenge, Taihao naturally agreed without hesitation, and the two agreed to fight in the starry sky.

On the day Fuxi and Taihao challenged each other to a duel, countless powerful figures from the human realm gathered, all eager to witness this epic battle destined to be recorded in history.

Even some powerful figures from the Earthly Immortal Realm and the Heavenly Realm have turned their attention to this battle in the Human Realm.

For the powerful beings of the Earthly Immortal Realm and the Celestial Realm, their concern is naturally not about the strength of Fuxi and Taihao.

According to the rules set by Jiang Heng, in the human realm, when a being's cultivation reaches its limit, it can only approach the realm of immortals.

Once one enters the Celestial Realm, all beings in the mortal realm must ascend to the Earthly Celestial Realm. Conversely, beings in the Celestial Realm are forbidden from entering the mortal realm.

Although Fuxi and Taihao have now divided the human realm equally and each has accumulated immeasurable fortune, their strength has not yet broken through to the level of immortals.

This is not to say that Fuxi and Taihao lacked the ability, but rather that before unifying the Earthly Immortal Realm, Fuxi and Taihao clearly did not want to ascend to the Earthly Immortal Realm.

For the powerful beings of the Celestial Realm and the Earthly Immortal Realm, it was merely a battle between beings from two different immortal realms, so there was nothing interesting to see.

However, many powerful beings in the Heavenly Realm and the Earthly Immortal Realm already know that a new great calamity is about to descend, and the key lies in the Human Realm.

The battle between Fuxi and Taihao could very well determine the future course of this great calamity, so they naturally have to pay attention.

Amidst the anticipation of the crowd, Fuxi and Taihao finally appeared, both alone, arriving amidst the starry sky.

"Hahaha! Fuxi, I never expected you would actually dare to fight me. I don't know whether to call you ignorant and fearless, or just plain stupid!"

Taihao was a majestic and imposing middle-aged man, standing tall in the starry sky, exuding an aura of authority without anger, and possessing a domineering presence that was awe-inspiring.

"Hmph! Taihao, this battle concerns the future of the entire human realm, and even more so the future of countless living beings. I have no choice but to fight you."

Moreover, it's too early to say who will win this battle; you're being far too arrogant!" Fuxi said in a deep voice.

Although Fuxi was reincarnated as a human, his appearance did not change at all, and many powerful figures in the Heavenly Realm and the Earthly Immortal Realm recognized him.

Looking at Taihao before him, Fuxi's expression was solemn. He had many doubts about this suddenly emerging hero.

It is already incredible that Taihao was able to sweep across half of the human world and establish a vast empire in such a short time.

Moreover, Taihao rose to prominence after Fuxi, so it is even more incredible that he could rival Fuxi.

Even putting all that aside, the strength that Taihao possessed not only made Fuxi wary, but also made him feel somewhat incredulous.

No matter how modest Fuxi was, he knew that he was not only the elder brother of the sage Nuwa, but also had already entered the quasi-sage realm in ancient times.

He is an ancient and powerful being who has survived since the beginning of time. Many of the powerful beings in the prehistoric world today are his juniors.

Moreover, during the Great Tribulation of Journey to the West, Jiang Heng used extraordinary means to deceive the Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, making Fuxi become Tang Sanzang.

This was an extraordinary stroke of luck, which enabled Fuxi to elevate his strength to the limit of Quasi-Saint, laying the foundation for his eventual sainthood.

Fuxi was confident that among all the powerful beings below the level of a sage in the entire prehistoric world, there were very few who could rival him.

With such a foundation, even though Fuxi's cultivation has not yet reached the Immortal Realm, how could ordinary beings compare to him?

It was more beautiful than a fairyland; describing Fuxi at this moment as the pinnacle of the human realm would be absolutely no problem.

In fact, looking at the entire history of the human world, Fuxi's current strength is absolutely number one, far surpassing that of other beings.

But then Taihao appeared, rising from humble beginnings, with the same cultivation level as Fuxi, but with even greater strength.

Fuxi even once believed that Taihao was the incarnation of a sage, which could explain why Taihao was so powerful.

But Fuxi also understood that if Taihao was the incarnation of a sage, then whoever he was, that human emperor would definitely intervene in the affairs of the human realm.

Now that the Human Emperor hasn't made a move, it means that there's no problem with the identity of the Taihao in front of us.

This is also why Fuxi ultimately decided to fight Taihao. As long as it is not a sage, even if he were to face Yang Jian directly, Fuxi would not be afraid.

"Hmph! Fuxi, you have no hope of winning this battle. You are destined to become my stepping stone!"

After I defeat you, I will unify the human realm, become the ruler of the human realm, and then become the current human emperor!

"At that time, you can only hide in a dark corner and silently watch me step into the supreme realm!" Taihao said confidently.

Fuxi's heart sank. Unifying the human realm and becoming its ruler, then ascending to become the current Human Emperor—this was the plan of that Human Emperor.

Fuxi hadn't told anyone about such an important matter, so how did this Taihao know about it?

Moreover, judging from Taihao's smug appearance, it seems that the throne of the human emperor is already in his grasp, which is extremely abnormal.

Fuxi quickly suppressed these chaotic thoughts, knowing full well that now was not the time to consider them.

If he can defeat Taihao, he will still become the ruler of the human realm, and there is even a great chance that he can become a saint in this great calamity.

If Taihao cannot be defeated, then all is lost, and even if Jiang Heng and the Sage Nuwa stand behind him, it will be of no use whatsoever.

"You talk too much nonsense. Let's see what you're capable of. Make your move! Let me see what you're really made of!" Fuxi said in a deep voice.

Although Taihao was domineering and arrogant, he was unusually cautious when facing Fuxi, clearly knowing the importance of this battle.

In the next instant, under the watchful eyes of countless beings, Fuxi and Taihao moved simultaneously, and a fierce battle unfolded in the starry sky.

At this moment, in the Nuwa Palace, the Sage Nuwa was also watching this battle. Beside her, Tongtian Jiaozhu, Yang Jian, Nezha, Kong Xuan, and others were prominently displayed.

For a powerful being like Nuwa, the struggle between two beings who have not yet become immortals is like two ants fighting.

But at this moment, Nuwa unconsciously revealed a tense expression on her face, and all traces of her usual composure as a saint were gone.

"Saint Nuwa, there's no need to be nervous. This battle was expected. Fuxi is not without hope of victory!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader could naturally see Nuwa's nervousness. They had come to Nuwa Palace to watch the battle at Nuwa's invitation.

Otherwise, even if it involves the future development of this great calamity, why would they care about just two beings who have not yet become immortals?

"This Taihao is very abnormal. You all know what happened to Fuxi. How could any being be able to rival Fuxi?" said the sage Nuwa.

The outcome of the battle between Fuxi and Taihao was directly related to Fuxi's future attainment of sainthood, so how could the saint Nuwa not be worried?

"This matter is indeed somewhat strange. Did the Sage Nuwa ask the Human Emperor about it?" Yang Jian asked.

Yang Jian is now a sage, and with just one glance, he can tell just how powerful Taihao and Fuxi have become.

In Yang Jian's view, Fuxi and Taihao were of similar cultivation levels, but Taihao's strength was subtly a step above Fuxi's.

Yang Jian had sparred with Fuxi several times and knew how strong Fuxi was, so he naturally understood that Taihao's strength was indeed somewhat extraordinary.

"I have naturally asked the Human Emperor. If the Human Emperor had been willing to intervene in this matter, we wouldn't be in this situation today!" Nuwa said, shaking her head.

Yang Jian and the others naturally understood that if Jiang Heng chose not to make a move, it meant that Taihao's identity was not in question.

"That's a bit strange. If there's no special reason, how could Taihao possess such strength?" said the Tongtian Sect Leader.

The reason why a saint's incarnation is more powerful than a typical peak quasi-saint is because a saint's incarnation possesses the realm of a saint.

Similarly, Fuxi already possessed the ultimate level of a quasi-saint, which was unmatched by other beings, so naturally few beings could be his match.

But now, Taihao's strength is even a step above Fuxi's. Doesn't this mean that Taihao's realm is above Fuxi's?

"The Human Emperor did mention this matter. A portion of the Heavenly Dao's fortune was concentrated in Taihao, making him a being like the Son of Heaven."

"With the power of the Heavenly Dao upon him, it's not surprising that Taihao possesses such strength!" said the Sage Nuwa in a deep voice.

The power of the Heavenly Dao is supreme. If the Sage Nuwa had not revealed this matter, neither the Tongtian Sect Leader nor Yang Jian would have sensed the power of the Heavenly Dao in Taihao.

Upon learning this news, Yang Jian and the others realized the seriousness of the matter, and their expressions became solemn.

"Since the Sage Nuwa has spoken of this matter, could it be that she intends to?" Tongtian Sect Leader asked hesitantly.

Originally, Tongtian Jiaozhu and the others were somewhat puzzled by Nuwa's invitation to come to Nuwa Palace.

Now, upon hearing the Sage Nuwa say that Taihao possessed the power of the Heavenly Dao, the Tongtian Sect Leader and others had already vaguely guessed the Sage Nuwa's intentions.

The Sage Nuwa nodded and said, "I promised the Human Emperor that I would not interfere in the affairs of the human realm this time."

But not interfering in human affairs doesn't mean I can't help Fuxi!
