Although he understood the meaning of Human Emperor's words, Jiang Ping'an still asked in a deep voice, "This junior has never met His Majesty, and he has just come up from the lower world. Why did Your Majesty say this?"

He looked directly at the dignified yet gentle middle-aged man on the high platform, neither humble nor arrogant.

Human Emperor smiled slightly, that smile was generous and calm, as if he had already expected Jiang Ping'an to ask this question. He stood up slowly, stood on the edge of the high platform with his hands behind his hands, and looked past Jiang Ping'an, as if looking into the distant void.

"Almost four hundred years ago," Human Emperor's voice echoed in the hall, and every word was extremely clear, "I suddenly had a sudden impulse, and seemed to have a sense in the dark, so I boarded Innate Eight Trigrams Heaven-Peeking Array Platform, and spent a full Qi Qi forty-nine days, using my life essence and blood as a guide to deduce the secret of heaven."

He withdrew his gaze and focused on Jiang Ping'an again. The look in his eyes was complex and profound. "The result of that hexagram - Future Human Emperor will be born in the lower world, and Human Race will be prosperous."

On both sides of the hall, dozens of Human Race strong men were moved. Some were talking in low voices, some were looking at Jiang Ping'an with burning eyes, some looked excited, and some were stroking their beards thoughtfully and thinking.

"Now," Human Emperor gently raised his hand and pointed at Jiang Ping'an, "You are finally here."

Jiang Ping'an was shocked.

Four hundred years ago - wasn't that the time when he was born? Human Emperor actually calculated his existence at that time? What kind of unnatural means was this Innate Eight Trigrams Heaven-Peeking Array Platform?

But he quickly suppressed the shock in his heart and frowned slightly.

Inexplicably being Human Emperor?

He had just arrived at the Primal Beginning Realm, and his eyesight went dark. He hadn't even figured out the rules of this world yet, so why should he sit in that position? What's more, even if he was willing to sit on it, why should the people below obey the orders of an outsider? He was not stupid, and he would not think that as long as he sat on the throne, everyone would bow down and obey orders.

There is a more critical question - the Human Emperor in front of him is clearly at the peak of spring and autumn, his breath is as deep as the sea, his pressure is as restrained as a mountain, and he shows no sign of decline. If being Human Emperor is a good thing, why doesn't he continue to do it?

"Your Majesty," Jiang Ping'an handed over his hand and said in a firm and solemn tone, "I am just an ordinary monk who rose up from the lower world by chance. I have no foundation, no qualifications, and no merit. I am afraid that the 'Future Human Emperor' you mentioned is someone else. I don't want to be Human Emperor."

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of rustling discussion on both sides of the hall.

"He refused?"

"Someone actually refused the position of Human Emperor?"

Human Emperor raised his hand and the discussion stopped abruptly.

He was not angry, but instead showed a kind and gentle smile, and even looked at Jiang Ping'an with a little more appreciation in his eyes. "It is indeed a bit abrupt for you to directly succeed Human Emperor, and I will embarrass you."

He paused and continued, "Let's do this. You first stay with me, familiarize yourself with government affairs, understand the situation of the Primal Beginning Realm, and get in touch with all parties in Human Race. After a few years, you know everything well, and then I will pass on the position of Human Emperor to you. How about that?"

Jiang Ping'an shook his head and insisted. "Sorry, I don't want to be Human Emperor."

This time, his tone was more decisive than before, leaving no room for maneuver.

Immediately afterwards, he bowed solemnly and said, "Thank you very much for your Majesty sending Nine Clouds Imperial Daughter to pick up this junior and leaving Sky Demon Island. I will keep this kindness in my heart and I will repay you in the future. Farewell."

After saying that, he straightened up, turned around and left. His clothes were flying and his steps were firm, without any hesitation or any sloppiness.

The strong men on both sides of the hall looked at each other in confusion. Some wanted to speak to persuade them to stay, but after taking a look at Human Emperor's calm expression, they did not say anything.

Human Emperor sat on the high platform and watched Jiang Ping'an's figure disappear outside the palace door. Instead, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and an imperceptible hint of approval flashed in his eyes.

"Interesting." He whispered to himself, his voice so soft that only he could hear it.

Jiang Ping'an strode out of the Human Emperor Palace hall. As soon as he stepped onto the white jade stone steps outside the hall, there was a burst of rapid and light footsteps behind him.

"Young Master Jiang!"

It is the voice of Nine Clouds, which is as sweet and sweet as a clear spring striking a stone.

Jiang Ping'an stopped and turned around.

Nine Clouds quickly caught up with her, her clothes were as white as snow, her skirts were flying, and a few strands of black silk were scattered on her shoulders, making her beautiful face even more beautiful.

She stood still in front of him, took a breath, looked at him with a pair of Qiushui-like eyes, and asked, "Where do you plan to go next?"

"I thought you would persuade me." Jiang Ping'an smiled.

Nine Clouds showed an understanding smile on her beautiful face and said, "You have expressed your intention in public, how can you change it because of my two words of persuasion?"

When Jiang Ping'an heard this, he couldn't help but look at her more. This Imperial Daughter was considerate and knew how to advance and retreat.

He answered Nine Clouds's question just now, "I plan to hunt and collect herbs first, earn some Source Crystal, and then buy a high-level martial arts technique. After that... it depends on the situation."

During those days on the road, he had already asked Nine Clouds to find out many things about the Primal Beginning Realm. This place is very different from the lower world. Human Race was established in the Primal Beginning Realm The situation is difficult enough, and the higher-ups want everyone to practice the best skills and master the most powerful magical powers. Therefore, there is very little respect for the sect here, and it is rare to be self-conscious - as long as you spend Source Crystal, you can buy most of the skills and magical powers.

Of course, the best and most powerful techniques and magical powers may not be suitable for everyone. The more powerful the techniques, they are either profound and difficult to understand, or they consume staggering resources to practice, and not everyone can master them.

"I know where there are prey and medicinal materials." Nine Clouds said with a flash of light in his eyes, "Unyielding Mountain is thousands of miles away, and mythical beasts are everywhere. Spirit Medicine is everywhere. When I was a child, I often went there with Father Emperor for training, and I am very familiar with the terrain there. I will help you show the way."

Jiang Ping'an did not refuse. He and Nine Clouds spent twelve consecutive days and nights together. From the initial stranger to the gradually familiar, the relationship was already considered good. What's more, in this unfamiliar place Primal Beginning Realm, having a guide who is familiar with the environment can indeed save a lot of trouble.

"Haha, thank you in advance." He responded generously with a broad smile.

The two looked at each other and smiled, then flew side by side towards Human Emperor Cave.

After exiting the cave, the vision suddenly opened up.

Swallowing Cloud Mountain is still majestic and majestic, the sea of clouds is rolling like a tide, Heavenly Essence is so rich that it almost condenses into water droplets. Nine Clouds leads the way, white The clothes rustled in the wind, like a graceful white crane. Jiang Ping'an followed closely behind, and the two of them turned into two rays of light, piercing Changkong, and flew towards the southwest.

After flying for about three hundred thousand miles, Nine Clouds suddenly slowed down and pointed forward. "Young Master Jiang, look."

Jiang Ping'an looked in the direction of her finger and couldn't help but take a breath.

Ahead, a huge mountain range stretches across the land, undulating continuously for thousands of miles, like a winding giant dragon lying prone between the sky and the earth. The highest peak of the mountain range reaches directly into the sky, and is as high as several million feet by visual inspection. The mountainside is completely hidden in the vast sea of clouds, and the top cannot be seen at all.

The mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, and the ancient trees are towering into the sky. The trees are at least hundreds of feet high, and the thick trunks require dozens of people to hug them. The tree crowns cover the sky and the sun, shrouding large areas of the mountain forest in shadow. Occasionally, huge birds fly from the forest, spreading their wings to cover the sky and the sun, and emit deafening cries.

The air is filled with a rich world Primal Qi, as well as a wild and desolate atmosphere. Everything here reveals primitive, untamed wildness and power.

"This is Unyielding Mountain." Nine Clouds's voice sounded next to him, "Spirit Medicine is everywhere in the mountains with mythical beasts and birds, but it is also extremely dangerous. Even a strong man at the saint level does not dare to go deep into the hinterland. But in the outer area, with your strength, there should be no big problem."

Jiang Ping'an nodded and looked at the piece of the Wild Mountain Range with burning eyes.

He took a deep breath and used the Holy Body·Law, Heaven, and Earth magical power.

In an instant, his figure skyrocketed, his bones crackled, his muscles swelled, and he transformed into a Ten Thousand Feet Giant in the blink of an eye. With his feet on the earth and the sky above his head, the sun and moon rotated on his shoulders, wind and clouds entangled around his waist, and every move he made had the power to destroy the world.

Nine Clouds watched from the side, with a flash of brilliance in her eyes. She did not hesitate, and also used Law, Heaven, and Earth's magical power. Her white clothes flew in the wind, and her figure also skyrocketed, turning into a female giant who was also ten thousand feet tall. However, her figure was still slender and graceful. Even if it was magnified tens of millions of times, her celestial appearance was still intact.

The two Ten Thousand Feet Giant stand side by side, like a pair of gods from ancient mythology.

At this time, Jiang Ping'an thought and released Old Black from Twelve-Colored Heart Wheel.

A ball of black light flew out from the heart chakra, landed on the ground, and transformed into an old black dog. The dog was small in size, with smooth and oily fur, but a pair of eyes that were particularly smart, revealing a shrewdness and sophistication that was completely different from ordinary dogs.

After Old Black landed, it first looked around blankly, scanning the ancient trees, wild mountains, and the roar of the Sky-shattering Beast in the distance. Then, its eyes fell on Nine Clouds, and it was stunned for three seconds.

The next moment, Old Black turned his head sharply and scolded Jiang Ping'an: "Okay, Jiang Ping'an! No wonder you didn't let me out for so long. It turned out to be because you were worried that I would disturb you in finding a woman!"

Its voice was urgent and fast, with a sour taste. "You are so lucky, boy! You have only been here at the Primal Beginning Realm for less than a month, and you have hooked up with such a beautiful Goddess Devil. Tsk tsk, I've been holding it in my heart chakra for so long, it's better for you to be free and happy outside!"

Jiang Ping'an couldn't laugh or cry, "Senior Old Black, you misunderstood."

He pointed at Nine Clouds and said seriously, "This is Human Emperor's Daughter, Nine Clouds. She picked us up and left Sky Demon Island, otherwise we might still be hiding and seeking with Great Black Heavenly Devil God in that damn place."

Nine Clouds looked down at the talking Old Black, with a trace of curiosity flashing in her eyes. She was not angry because of what Old Black had just said, but found it interesting. In her eyes, this Old Black had a mediocre aura, and his cultivation level did not seem to be high, but his eyes revealed the innocence of an old naughty boy.

She smiled slightly and said to Jiang Ping'an, "Is this your Pet Beast? It's quite interesting. He talks funny and looks cute."

Jiang Ping'an shook his head and said in a serious tone, "It's not Pet Beast, it's my friend."

Nine Clouds was startled for a moment, then nodded, looking at Old Black with a bit more respect.

Jiang Ping'an turned to Old Black and said, "Senior Old Black, we are going to hunt and collect herbs here to earn some Source Crystal. You are well-informed and experienced, how about I leave the collecting of herbs to you?"

Old Black heard this, his tail suddenly raised, and he looked like he was doing his part. "No problem! When it comes to fighting, I, Lao Hei, can't beat you, but when it comes to finding medicines and identifying them, you have to learn from me for a thousand years."

After saying that, it made wind with its four hooves, ran towards Unyielding Mountain, and disappeared in the vast forest in a blink of an eye. That vigorous and vigorous figure really had the style of a hound.

Jiang Ping'an withdrew his gaze, took a deep breath, and strode into Unyielding Mountain.

His target was a Suanni Divine Beast in the mountains. Just now in the distance, he had already sensed the aura of that Suanni - fierce and violent, like a burning Purple Lightning, dormant deep in the mountains.

Nine Clouds did not follow too closely, but kept a distance, hovering above a mountain peak, watching from a high position.

She is very curious.

Apart from the Creation God Wheel on the back of his head, what else is extraordinary about this visitor from the nether world, identified by Father Emperor as "Future Human Emperor"?

She wanted to see with her own eyes whether Jiang Ping'an was worthy of the four words "Future Human Emperor".
