Ying Zheng and Xuandu appeared within a mysterious space, thick with the aura of chaos.
The heavenly secrets here were completely obscured.
Before Ying Zheng could react, Xuandu had already produced a Dao Tablet shimmering with clear light, and spoke slowly:
"Ying Zheng, this is a Dao art bestowed by our master, passed on to you through me."
"It is called the Grand Void God Sealing Art, created specifically for disciples of the mortal world!"
Xuandu's words struck like thunder, piercing straight into Ying Zheng's heart.
Ying Zheng's mind trembled with shock.
His entire body quivered with excitement!
Without hesitation, he knelt and bowed to the heavens.
"Ying Zheng kowtows in gratitude to the master for granting this art!"
Xuandu's smile grew even brighter.
"Rise."
Ying Zheng took the Dao Tablet, his gaze curious as he looked at Xuandu.
"Elder Brother, what is the master's name?"
Xuandu gave a faint smile.
"When you achieve the position of Human Emperor, you will naturally meet the master."
Ying Zheng's heart shook—so the mysterious master had long laid the groundwork for the Human Emperor's cause!
It seemed he was a supreme expert on par with heaven itself!
Ying Zheng's anticipation to meet the master grew even stronger.
"Elder Brother, rest assured. I, Ying Zheng, will never disappoint the master!"
Xuandu nodded with satisfaction.
"Go and cultivate."
Ying Zheng replied solemnly.
"Good!"
Within this strange space, Ying Zheng began to comprehend the Dao Tablet.
The deeper his understanding, the greater his awe!
Sun-Moon Radiance, Heaven-Earth Longevity, All Beings Unity!
This Grand Void God Sealing Art was truly miraculous!
It cultivated through fortune and destiny, completely defying convention!
Utterly inconceivable!
Ying Zheng already bore the fortune of the Human Race!
Now it resonated with the Grand Void God Sealing Art!
He instantly entered the gate, reaching the realm of Sun-Moon Radiance!
Seeing Ying Zheng's progress, Xuandu smiled and brought out the Kongtong Seal.
The moment the Kongtong Seal appeared, the fortune of the Human Race surged like a tide, gathering above Ying Zheng's head, churning violently.
Light blazed within the Kongtong Seal, accompanied by a dragon's roar that shook the soul.
Ying Zheng's heart trembled, his eyes gleaming with strange light.
"Elder Brother, could this be the Human Race's sacred artifact, the Kongtong Seal?"
Xuandu nodded with a smile.
"Indeed. The master specifically asked me to pass it to you.
Paired with the Grand Void God Sealing Art, it can break through the limits of the Son of Heaven and restore the glory of the Human Emperor.
The master said that Great Qin will become an immortal dynasty in the future, named Immortal Qin."
Ying Zheng was too moved to speak, his blood boiling throughout his body.
"Thank you, Elder Brother! Thank you, Master! I will surely forge Immortal Qin and revive the glory of the Human Race!"
His eyes blazed with resolve and pride.
After that, Ying Zheng cultivated the Grand Void God Sealing Art on Shouyang Mountain.
He was already steeped in the profound fortune of humanity, and this art resonated deeply with him.
Driven by that vast fortune, Ying Zheng's aura surged rapidly.
His realm broke through continuously, until he reached the Celestial Immortal Realm.
The Kongtong Seal hung above his head, radiating a gentle divine light.
Heaven, earth, sun, and moon seemed to respond to this change, manifesting the wondrous sight of Sun-Moon Radiance.
When Ying Zheng's breakthrough succeeded, the fortune of humanity burst forth with dazzling brilliance.
Then, a dragon's roar that shook heaven and earth resounded through the skies.
Humanity's fortune had finally fully coalesced into form.
A high-pitched dragon's cry rang out.
A dazzling Fortune Dragon spanned heaven and earth!
This was the Fortune Dragon of humanity!
A scene from the Primordial Wilderness had reappeared!
Countless humans in the Primordial Wilderness were first stunned, then erupted in cheers and joy.
"Indeed, Great Qin is destined by heaven."
"Look, humanity's fortune has risen!"
"Humanity will flourish once more!"
The vast and mighty fortune of humanity was crucial to the development of the race.
The Fortune Dragon of humanity had reappeared in the Primordial Wilderness.
The entire Primordial Wilderness trembled from it.
Longevity Mountain.
Five Villages Monastery.
Zhen Yuanzi's heart stirred slightly, his gaze turning toward Shouyang Mountain, a hint of surprise on his face.
"The Fortune Dragon of humanity has reappeared?"
"It seems that First Emperor is indeed heaven's chosen."
"But can he recreate the glory of the Human Emperor era?"
Back when humanity suffered through the Demon-Slaying Sword calamity, Zhen Yuanzi had protected the Three Ancestors of Humanity and many Primordial Humans, forging deep karmic ties with the race.
Now, as the ruler of the Earthly Immortal Realm, he felt the joy spreading through it at the reappearance of the Fortune Dragon.
The Earthly Immortal Realm now had humanity as its largest race.
With humanity thriving, the Earthly Immortal Realm prospered as well.
Fire Cloud Cave.
The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors all watched with rapt attention.
Shennong's face lit up with joy: "This Ying Zheng has such boldness?"
Xuanyuan laughed heartily: "This child has extraordinary potential—he might become a Human Emperor!"
Fuxi also sighed: "All thanks to Taiqing Saint spreading the Dao across the Primordial Wilderness."
The other Human Emperors nodded in agreement.
If not for Taiqing Saint spreading the Dao across the Primordial Wilderness, humanity would never have had such an opportunity.
Heavenly Court.
Hall of Celestial Supremacy.
Haotian's brow was tightly furrowed.
"How can this brat revive humanity's fortune?"
"But this is the era of the Heavenly Court—I am the core of the Primordial Wilderness!"
Haotian snorted coldly. Even if Ying Zheng was exceptionally gifted, he was merely a Son of Heaven submitting to the Heavenly Court.
Humanity was nothing more than a tool for him to harvest fortune.
Purple Cloud Palace.
Hongjun of the Heavenly Dao was well aware of the Human Race's Fortune Dragon's reappearance.
But he paid it no mind.
What meaning did the Fortune Dragon's return hold?
During the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the Human Race had once possessed the most prosperous Auspicious Golden Dragon of Fortune.
It had even come close to birthing a Human Path Auspicious Golden Dragon of Fortune.
Yet, what was the end result?
In the end, they were merely his pawns, unable to escape his grasp.
Thus, he had no interest in the changes within the Human Race.
Chaos Beyond Heaven.
Taiqing Realm, Daluo Heaven.
Within the Eight Sceneries Palace, Grand Pure One Laozi smiled faintly.
The World Fortune Value in the System Panel was rapidly increasing.
The reappearance of the Human Race's Fortune Dragon signified a massive surge in their fortune.
In the Primordial World, fortune was no illusion—it was tangible and of utmost importance.
Therefore, as the Human Race's fortune skyrocketed, the entire race underwent a comprehensive enhancement.
The most evident manifestation was a marked improvement in the Human Race's talent and opportunities.
In the past, many clansmen had been unable to learn the Primordial World Saint Method passed down by The Grand Pure One due to insufficient aptitude.
But now, bolstered by the Fortune Dragon, countless individuals had successfully embarked on the path of the Primordial Dao-Forging Method.
The rapid rise in the Human Race's strength and fortune also elevated the Primordial World's very essence.
This was precisely why Zhen Yuanzi had sensed the jubilation within the Earthly Immortal Realm.
As time passed, the Human Race continued to grow.
Before The Grand Pure One, the fortune value in the system interface soared.
At a certain moment, The Grand Pure One perceived a monumental shift in the Primordial World.
Spiritual energy became abundant, and the heavens expanded.
Ding! Congratulations, the Primordial World has successfully upgraded!
Congratulations to the Host for receiving rewards!
Essence of Three Thousand Demon Gods: Contains the primal power of the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods, imbued with supreme Dao resonance, capable of elevating a living being's root foundation and origin!
Grand Void Primal Chaos Formation: A Great Dao Level formation, using countless Grand Void formation flags and Chaos Stars as nodes, capable of converting chaotic energy into Primordial World spiritual energy!
Earth Dao Divine Seal: A divine object condensed from the Earth Dao's origin, able to repair the incomplete Earth Dao and restore it to its full status!
Destiny Law: Perfected.
Combat Law: Perfected.
Even The Grand Pure One's gaze trembled at the sight of these rewards.
These rewards were simply too astonishing!
Without a moment's hesitation, he claimed the system's rewards.
The Destiny Law and Combat Law needed no elaboration—both were immensely powerful, offering a clear boost to his strength.
What delighted The Grand Pure One even more was the Essence of Three Thousand Demon Gods. This item could elevate a Saint's foundation and origin—an effect that defied the heavens.
His eyes burned with intensity.
Strength was the foundation of all. Without hesitation, The Grand Pure One sat cross-legged, adjusted his breathing, and began to refine the Essence of Three Thousand Demon Gods.
A thousandfold time acceleration was activated, the Chaos Pearl hovered above his head, and Chaos Divine Light radiated everywhere.
As the Essence of Three Thousand Demon Gods entered his body, the paths of the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods instantly roared, clashing violently within him, even attempting to assimilate his Dao.
The Grand Pure One chuckled softly: "You dare try to assimilate This Seat?"
The moment the words fell, divine light swirled in his eyes, and the aura of the Dao surged around him.
Within the Eight Sceneries Palace, Taiji spun with profound mystery.
The Yin-Yang fish contained the ultimate principles of the Dao, drifting slowly as if alive.
Before long.
An unparalleled, mysterious aura permeated the entirety of Daluo Heaven.
The living beings and plants within Daluo Heaven brimmed with vibrant vitality.
Du'e Zhenren's mind was immersed in an epiphany, unable to pull free.
Inside the Eight Sceneries Palace, Taiqing slowly opened his eyes. A divine light flickered in his gaze, as if it could pierce through past, present, and future.
In an instant, countless worlds rose and fell within his vision, revealing the unique Primal Unity Eighth Heaven realm of a Primal Unity Saint.
A faint smile touched Taiqing's lips, pleased with his own progress.
Every step of a Saint's cultivation was a leap, yet Taiqing had reached the Eighth Heaven in an astonishingly short time. His foundation pressed close to that of a top-tier Chaos Demon God, just a hair's breadth away from Great God Pangu.
Such an achievement, if spread abroad, would shock even Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
Then, Taiqing restrained his aura and turned his attention to another reward—the Grand Void Primal Chaos Formation.
This formation could convert chaos qi into heaven and earth spiritual qi, its power far exceeding a Saint's imagination.
Chaos qi was perilous beyond measure; even a Saint could not refine it. Even Great God Pangu had relied on the Heaven and Earth Membrane to isolate chaos from the Primordial World.
Yet Taiqing had now grasped this path of conversion—a feat that could overturn fate itself.
But what truly mattered to him was not the formation's conversion ability, but the initiative it granted him to reshape the Primordial World.
Thanks to Taiqing's earlier dissemination of the Great Dao across the Primordial World.
As long as the beings of the Primordial World continued to grow stronger, the Primordial World's origin would steadily strengthen. Taiqing would keep receiving rewards, which he could then feed back into the Primordial World to fuel its growth.
But this was a passive development model.
It required Taiqing to constantly scheme and push forward, progressing at a sluggish pace.
Now, however, with the Grand Void Primal Chaos Formation!
Taiqing could endlessly convert chaos qi into Primordial World spiritual qi!
The quantity of spiritual qi was a crucial component of World Fortune Value!
As chaos qi continuously transformed into spiritual qi, the Primordial World's World Fortune Value would surge, and its origin would naturally rise rapidly!
At that point, would reaching the Supreme Primordial Chaos World still be far off?
The mere thought of such a scene stirred Taiqing's heart with excitement!
Still.
Taiqing understood that he could not yet deploy the Grand Void Primal Chaos Formation.
Because this formation required crafting an immeasurable number of formation flags—countless as the Ganges' sands—and refining innumerable Chaos Stars.
Though it was not difficult for Taiqing at the Primal Unity Eighth Heaven realm, it still demanded time to prepare.
Taiqing put away the Dao diagram of the Grand Void Primal Chaos Formation.
He fixed his gaze on the divine seal within the Violet Palace, radiating a profound yellow divine light.
This seal pulsed with the aura of the Earth Dao's origin!
"The Earth Dao Divine Seal—this comes at just the right time."
Taiqing's lips curled slightly, his mood light.
Now that the initial planning of the Human Path was complete, the arrangements for the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist Sect had also been set in motion.
For the upcoming Journey to the West Calamity, Taiqing had long prepared thoroughly.
The Primordial World had Three Ways: the Heavenly Way, the Earthly Way, and the Way of All Beings.
The Way of All Beings was the Human Path. The Heavenly Way reigned supreme, while the Earthly Way was born alongside it. If cultivated to its peak, it could rival the Heavenly Way.
Yet the Earthly Way of the Primordial World had always lacked sufficient origin. It had also been schemed against by the Heavenly Way and Hongjun, leaving it severely damaged.
The sole Earth Dao Saint, Houtu, though sealed within the Underworld, remained its sovereign. Even Hongjun could not overcome her.
