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

Chapter 96 The Return of the Human Race's Powerful Warriors!

"To become a saint! No matter how difficult it is, I must try!" Jiang Heng thought to himself as he walked towards the Fire Cloud Cave.

In the primordial world, those who cannot become saints are ultimately just ants, not even qualified to have an equal dialogue with saints.

Only by becoming a saint can one be qualified to contend with Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the lofty Heavenly Dao.

Jiang Heng knew very well that he only had one chance. If he failed to succeed in one fell swoop, neither Dao Ancestor Hongjun nor the Heavenly Dao would give him a second chance.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner. Jiang Heng has secretly accumulated a great deal, but it is still far from enough.

The most crucial moment for Jiang Heng will come during the years of great prosperity that follow. Whether he can achieve sainthood in one fell swoop depends on the success of his subsequent plans.

Even Chaos Bell, though he didn't believe Jiang Heng could become a saint, still formed a good relationship with him, perhaps because he saw Jiang Heng's potential.

Even if Jiang Heng fails to become a saint, Chaos Bell will not suffer any loss and can even forge a good relationship with the human race because of it.

If Jiang Heng can become a saint, and the Chaos Bell recognizes him as its master, there's nothing shameful about it; he can even enjoy the boundless fortune of the human race as a result.

By all accounts, this was a sure-fire deal; the Chaos Bell, this innate treasure, was extremely shrewd. Otherwise, why wouldn't it have wanted to be subdued by the Tongtian Sect Master?

After returning to Huoyun Cave, Jiang Heng began his secluded cultivation. This trip to the Chaos Sea took him a considerable amount of time, a full thousand years.

During this period, the primordial world was relatively peaceful. Apart from the human race's full-fledged development and continuous population growth, nothing major happened.

What puzzled Jiang Heng was why the Western Sect had remained silent for so long, seemingly disappearing completely.

The reason why the two saints of the Western religion promoted the retreat of the human race's quasi-saints to the Fire Cloud Cave was to plan the cycle of reincarnation.

Currently, Jiang Heng and other quasi-saints of the human race have been in seclusion in the Fire Cloud Cave for a thousand years, but the Western Sect has not yet made a move against the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

When Jiang Heng went to the Chaos Sea, he deliberately left some contingency plans, but who knew that the Western Sect would not make a move at all.

However, it's a good thing that the Western Sect has completely fallen silent, as Jiang Heng can now focus on his cultivation in the Fire Cloud Cave.

Time flies, and nine thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye. After ten thousand years of development, the human race has firmly established itself in the primordial world.

After ten thousand years of development, the human race has spread across the vast land, and its numbers have long exceeded one hundred billion.

Human race has produced many powerful figures. Although no quasi-saint level experts have appeared, the number of Grand Luo Golden Immortals has more than doubled.

Of course, this was also because Jiang Heng had stopped exchanging for treasures and devoted all his efforts to nurturing the human race. Otherwise, there would have been even more Great Luo Golden Immortals among the human race.

Even so, with over four hundred Great Luo Golden Immortals guarding the human race, no creature in the prehistoric world dared to easily oppress the human race.

Among the human race today, Golden Immortals and Taiyi Xuan Immortals are emerging one after another, gradually showing a hint of the aura of a hegemon of heaven and earth.

But by this time, conflicts between the various human tribes in the primordial world had become increasingly frequent, and wars between them were commonplace.

Time is something that makes people easily forget the past. The human race of today is no longer the human race that once obeyed Jiang Heng's orders without question.

Jiang Heng and Suirenshi have become legends. Apart from the humans who once followed Jiang Heng, the newly formed humans' knowledge of Jiang Heng is limited to legends.

Jiang Heng's title as the sovereign of the human race was gradually forgotten, and even the fact that he created the Heaven-Covering Emperor Law was gradually forgotten by the human race.

Jiang Heng had anticipated these events, or rather, the fact that the human race had reached this point was intentionally orchestrated by Jiang Heng.

Jiang Heng is deliberately downplaying his own existence. When Jiang Heng and other ancestors of the human race are no longer mentioned by the human race, the Dao Ancestor should be much more at ease.

Otherwise, if Jiang Heng simply had the human race worship him and Suirenshi every year to spread his deeds among them, how could the human race possibly forget his existence?

But on this very day, the Fire Cloud Cave, which had been quiet until now, suddenly trembled, and hundreds of colorful rays of light flew out and scattered across the primordial land.

While many powerful beings in the primordial world were still wondering why the Fire Cloud Cave had suddenly become active, hundreds of Great Luo Golden Immortals flew from the primordial land toward the Fire Cloud Cave.

Subsequently, tens of thousands of Golden Immortals flew out from the primordial world at the same time, heading towards the Fire Cloud Cave beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Without a doubt, all these Great Luo Golden Immortals and Golden Immortals are human, and are currently the leaders of various human tribes.

When all the Great Luo Golden Immortals and Golden Immortals arrived at the Fire Cloud Cave, they saw that Jiang Heng was already waiting for them.

"Greetings, Emperor Heng!"

All the humans knelt down. Even though ten thousand years had passed, their faces were still filled with excitement the moment they saw Jiang Heng.

"I promised you that after ten thousand years, you could return to my command. Now, ten thousand years have passed. Are you willing to return?"

If you are unwilling, you may leave the Fire Cloud Cave! If you are willing, in the long years to come, you can only strive to cultivate and remain silent for countless ages!

Jiang Heng looked at the familiar faces before him. These humans were once warriors of the Imperial Feather Guard and the four armies of Wind, Forest, Fire and Mountain.

"We swear to follow Emperor Heng to the death!"

Not a single human left the Fire Cloud Cave; they all gazed at Jiang Heng with unwavering eyes, their gazes still filled with the familiar reverence.

Without experiencing the early days of humanity, it's difficult to understand the extent of the human race's worship of Jiang Heng at that time.

That was an era when Jiang Heng could wave his hand and countless humans would die without hesitation; an era when Jiang Heng could decide the fate of humanity with a single word.

"Good! From this day forward, you will all follow me in cultivation. I hope you will abandon everything from the past and strive once again for the future of the human race!" Jiang Heng said with satisfaction.

Ten thousand years ago, Jiang Heng appointed these powerful human warriors as leaders of various human tribes, leading the human race to disperse to different parts of the prehistoric land.

It is precisely because of the protection of these powerful human beings that the human race has been able to continuously develop and grow stronger on the prehistoric land.

At that time, Jiang Heng promised these humans that after ten thousand years, they would have achieved their goal and could return to his command.

Ten thousand years later, Jiang Heng kept his promise and summoned these humans back to the Fire Cloud Cave, giving them another chance to choose.

These humans did not disappoint Jiang Heng. They had no attachment to the power of the human race and were even willing to remain silent.

These humans before us will not only be the cornerstone of humanity's future strength, but also one of humanity's greatest trump cards.

As these humans leave the primordial land, the traces of Jiang Heng among the human race will decrease again.

Perhaps, tens of thousands of years from now, there will be very few humans who truly remember Jiang Heng.

The progenitor who led humanity to glory has been forgotten by humanity, which is precisely the inevitable trend of Heaven, and how ironic.

"It's time to go see Nuwa Palace again!" Jiang Heng thought to himself.

These human beings, Jiang Heng, did not intend to keep them in the Fire Cloud Cave, but rather to send them to Gouchen Star in the Chaos Sea.

Fire Cloud Cave is too close to the primordial world, so if Jiang Heng wants to do something, it will inevitably be noticed by the Heavenly Dao.

Sending them to Gouchen Star would be much more convenient. When these human powerhouses reappear in the prehistoric world at some point in the future, they will surely shock the entire prehistoric world.

However, Gouchen Star is ultimately connected to the Sage Nuwa, and this matter must be approved by the Sage Nuwa, otherwise it will always be a scourge.

With that thought in mind, Jiang Heng stepped out of the Fire Cloud Cave and headed towards the Nuwa Palace.

Nuwa Palace is outside the Thirty-Three Heavens and is not considered part of the Primordial World. Jiang Heng did not violate the Dao Ancestor's prohibition because of this.

The Sage Nuwa seemed to have anticipated Jiang Heng's arrival. When Jiang Heng arrived at Nuwa Palace, Lingzhuzi was already waiting for him.

Upon seeing Jiang Heng again, Ling Zhuzi was very excited and kept asking him about interesting things about the human race.

The two walked and talked, and soon arrived at the Nuwa Palace. It was the same palace as before, and the saint Nuwa was already waiting there.

After Lingzhuzi withdrew, before Jiang Heng could speak, the Sage Nuwa spoke first, saying, "I thought you should have come to find me long ago, but I didn't expect to have waited for you for ten thousand years!"

Nuwa's words seemed to indicate that she already knew why Jiang Heng had come. Jiang Heng was not surprised, which actually saved him some trouble.

"The Holy Mother truly has foreseen everything, and her wisdom extends for miles!" Jiang Heng said with a smile.

"Stop being so glib with me. Last time you went to the Chaos Sea, I knew you were looking for the Demon Master Kunpeng. It's not surprising that you found Gouchen Star."

"I thought I should have come to find you ten thousand years ago. It is truly rare that you have been able to endure for ten thousand years!" said the Sage Nuwa.

Jiang Heng was now certain that Gouchen Star was indeed the work of the sage Nuwa. And with the abilities of a sage, leaving some traces within Gouchen Star would not have been difficult.

Perhaps, when Jiang Heng first stepped into Gouchen Star, the Sage Nuwa had already sensed his presence.

"Since Gouchen Star is the work of the Holy Mother, I naturally dare not act rashly. I have come here today to ask for your help!" Jiang Heng said.

"Oh? You do know what's important. Gouchen Star is a pure land that I specially reserved for the demon race!"

With Gouchen Star around, the demon race won't be wiped out. As for other matters, I won't insist too much. In this primordial world, the human race is the true protagonist.

"Speak! What do you want from me?" the sage Nuwa said slowly.

Nuwa's words clearly stated her stance: the human race is the protagonist of heaven and earth, and the demon race will naturally never rise again.

Gouchen Star is at most a place for the demon race to live, and it will never pose the slightest threat to the human race.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Heng then revealed his plan to send powerful human warriors to Gouchen Star for cultivation.

The fact that Jiang Heng could say such things shows that he trusted Nuwa quite a bit. After all, Nuwa couldn't possibly be unaware of the profound meaning behind Jiang Heng's actions.

"This matter is not difficult! Just don't indiscriminately slaughter the demons in Gouchen Star!" said the Sage Nuwa.

After Jiang Heng thanked the Sage Nuwa, he had a private conversation with her for a while before taking his leave.
