Zhenyuanzi's Embarrassment! (cont.)

Hong Yun shook his head and rejected Zhenyuanzi's suggestion; he had already come to terms with the matter.

Even if he and Zhenyuanzi went to take revenge on those guys, how many could they possibly kill?

They might have only killed a few, and then it would be exposed, and the other Innate Great God would find out.

When those guys find out what's going on, they'll definitely band together for mutual support, and who knows, they might even join forces to attack Wuzhuang Temple.

Those Innate Great God, facing a life-threatening situation, are capable of anything, even attacking the human race in revenge.

Moreover, among those enemies from back then were some ruthless figures, such as the Ancestor Minghe. Even if he and Zhenyuanzi joined forces, they might not be able to defeat them.

After hearing Hong Yun's words, Zhenyuanzi could only sigh and give up.

"Zhenyuanzi, hurry up and bring out the Ginseng Fruit! I want to eat my fill!"

Hong Yun urged Zhenyuanzi to quickly get the Ginseng Fruit, as she hadn't eaten it in a long time.

Although Zhenyuanzi had just taken out a few, Hong Yun gave them all to his wife and daughters.

"Forehead!"

Zhenyuanzi was embarrassed for a moment, then explained helplessly:

"That's all for now. The next batch won't be available for another thousand or even hundred years!"

Zhenyuanzi had just taken out all the remaining Ginseng Fruit to welcome Hong Yun and her husband.

"This is impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Given your personality, you must still have quite a few Ginseng Fruit hidden away."

Hong Yun didn't believe Zhenyuanzi's words at all. He had known Zhenyuanzi for so many years; didn't he know the other man's character well enough?

Zhenyuanzi is the True Lord of Stockpiling!

These days, this guy is so focused on saving Ginseng Fruit that he won't even give a Ginseng Fruit to his best friend.

This is really going too far!

It would have been better if Hong Yun hadn't brought it up; the moment he did, Zhenyuanzi was furious.

"Don't even mention storing Ginseng Fruit, I swore I would never store Ginseng Fruit again."

"I can't bear to eat the Ginseng Fruit myself; I've painstakingly saved it up. Every time Bai Chen comes, he tries to extort a large sum of money from me."

"Rather than keeping it to be extorted by Bai Chen later, I'd rather eat it myself or refine it into a pill."

Zhenyuanzi had already been extorted twice by Bai Chen, and he didn't want to be extorted a third time, so he simply decided to give up his position as a "surviving True Lord".

I used up the remaining Ginseng Fruit myself.

"Forehead!"

Hong Yun was embarrassed upon hearing this, and then asked Zhenyuanzi a question in return:

"Zhenyuanzi, you used to keep Ginseng Fruit in your possession. When Bai Chen came to extort money from you, you could use Ginseng Fruit to get rid of him."

"If you stop storing Ginseng Fruit now, what will you use to deal with Bai Chen next time he comes to extort you?"

"The Earth Book? Or your Ginseng Fruit Tree?"

Hong Yun thought Zhenyuanzi was truly clever for a moment, but foolish for a lifetime!

"Forehead!"

Hong Yun asked a very good question, one that left Zhenyuanzi speechless with embarrassment.

Zhenyuanzi looked distressed. So, he had been saving his Ginseng Fruit as leverage to be extorted by Bai Chen next time?

Time flies, more than four hundred years have passed, and the current Co-Lord of Humanity is the seventh Yan Flame Emperor Jiang Ai (Emperor Ai)!

For over four hundred years, the Co-Lord of Humanity had always been Flame Emperor of the Jiang Clan Tribe. However, starting with the sixth Flame Emperor Yan, Jiang Mao, the Jiang Clan Tribe began to gradually weaken and its control over the human race began to diminish.

The situation worsened with the arrival of the seventh Flame Emperor Yan, Jiang Ai.

Wa Saint Palace...

The Yuanshi Tianzun rushed to forge the Hammer of Reason for Bai Chen. After its completion, he immediately came to find Bai Chen to arrange matters concerning the Human Emperor.

"Bai Chen, the Hammer of Reason that I forged for you is far more powerful than your original one."

The Yuanshi Tianzun Lord took out the Hammer of Reason that he had crafted for Bai Chen, and to be honest, he almost didn't want to give it to Bai Chen anymore.

This is because the Hammer of Reason can be considered his masterpiece, and its power is almost approaching that of the ten top- Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

It's a pity there wasn't enough time, otherwise it could have been refined to be even more perfect.

"Yeah?"

Nuwa sneered. After taking the Hammer of Reason, forged by the Yuanshi, she examined it carefully and said disdainfully:

"I think it's nothing special."

Nuwa had thought that the Celestial Lord of the Yuanshi Tianzun's weapon-forging skills were incredibly powerful, but after seeing them today, she realized they were nothing special!

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, although what I said last time was somewhat offensive, it was the truth."

Yuanshi Tianzun thought that it was because of his previous criticism of Nuwa's crafting skills that Nuwa held a grudge and was deliberately picking a fight.

Nuwa threw the Hammer of Reason, which she had reforged, in front of Yuanshi Tianzun and said:

"The Hammer of Reason that Bad Cat wields was forged by me before I attained sainthood. Not long ago, after being ridiculed, I reforged it."

Nuwa, having examined the Hammer of Reason forged by Yuanshi Tianzun, knew very well that her newly forged Hammer of Reason was destined to win.

"Something's not right!"

"You shouldn't have the ability to forge magical artifacts."

The Yuanshi Tianzun Venerable examined the Hammer of Reason that Nuwa had reforged and was utterly perplexed.

The Hammer of Reason he forged himself was only close to the power of the ten Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

The Hammer of Reason, which Nuwa reforged, has actually reached the level of the ten Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!

He, Yuanshi Tianzun, inherited the art of weapon crafting from the great god Pangu. How could Nuwa's art of weapon crafting possibly be more powerful than his?

This is very wrong!

"The spiritual treasures I refined after attaining sainthood are naturally more powerful than those I refined before attaining sainthood."

Nuwa was quite pleased with herself. To prevent Bai Chen from exposing her use of the Qian Kun Cauldron to cheat, she glared at the cat, warning it not to talk nonsense.

"Wrong!"

Yuanshi Tianzun did not believe Nuwa's explanation, but instead studied it carefully.

However, after a long while, Yuanshi Tianzun's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and he smiled at Nuwa:

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, you must have relied on the power of the Qian Kun Cauldron to Hammer of Reason into something so formidable, right?"

Yuanshi Tianzun only realized that the Qian Kun Cauldron, a supreme artifact for refining weapons, was in Bai Chen's hands when he suddenly came to his senses.

"Absurd!"

"I am the Human Dao Spokesperson, isn't it normal for me to be skilled in weapon forging?"

Nuwa shouted loudly to cover up her cheating.

Nuwa was a little puzzled. She didn't have the ability to transform acquired traits into innate ones using the Qian Kun Cauldron, so how did the other party discover this?

Seeing that Bai Chen, who had been watching the drama unfold, had put away the two Hammer of Reason, he then changed the subject:

"Yuanshi Sage, you can make arrangements for the Human Emperor now."

Bai Chen had calculated that the seventh Flame Emperor, Jiang Ai, didn't have much time left, and the eighth Yan Flame Emperor, Jiang Yiwang, would soon take office.

Now we need to arrange matters concerning the Human Emperor. What if we do it too late and miss the deadline?

"It really is time to make arrangements!"

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded in agreement with Bai Chen's words. Although he had mainly been helping Bai Chen refine spiritual treasures over the past few hundred years, he had also been keeping an eye on the situation of the human race.

The Jiang Clan Tribe's prestige among humans is no longer as high, and the current seventh-generation Yan Flame Emperor Jiang Ai, has limited abilities.

"By the way, during the Human Emperor's era, multiple positions were created. The Dao Ancestor originally requested the responsibility for the position of the Historical Emperor for Laozi of the Taiqing Dynasty, and the Historical Emperor position was from the same period as the Human Emperor."

Bai Chen told Yuanshi Tianzun about the matters concerning Taiqing Laozi and Shihuang Guowei, mainly to give the other party a reminder.

As for the matter of the Witch Clan and the Lord of Soldiers, Bai Chen didn't mention it to Yuanshi Tianzun, fearing that if he did, Yuanshi Tianzun would have to refund the money himself.

After the incident involving Taiqing Laozi and Shi Huang came to light, Yuanshi Tianzun felt as if he had jumped into a trap, so he questioned Bai Chen:

"Bai Chen, tell me the truth, does the Emperor Shi pose a threat to the Human Emperor?"

Yuanshi Tianzun wasn't stupid. During the Human Emperor's era, having another Shi Huang meant having another person to rack up merits.

"Probably not!"

Bai Chen shook his head, then explained:

"Because I believe in your strength, Sage Yuanshi. The Emperor Shi, supported by Laozi of the Taiqing Laozi, will certainly not pose a threat to the Human Emperor you, Sage Yuanshi, support."

Bai Chen knew very well that according to the Great Dao's Destiny, Emperor Shi was just a piece of cake and would be dealt with first, posing no threat to the Human Emperor at all.

The only one who could threaten the Human Emperor was the Lord of Soldiers.

"That's true!"

Yuanshi Tianzun was very pleased with Bai Chen's flattery.

Although Taiqing Laozi was a bit troublesome, he wasn't afraid of him, and he also had his third brother, Sect Master Tongtian, to help him.

Since the Human Emperor and the Imperial Emperor lived in the same era, it was a good opportunity for me to collect some debts first, so that the Imperial Emperor, whom Taiqing Laozi wanted to support, wouldn't receive much merit.

"Bai Chen, you don't have anyone to choose Human Emperor, do you?"

After Yuanshi Tianzun arrived, he asked Bai Chen a question, and then explained:

"I've discussed it with Tongtian, and we want to give the throne of the Human Emperor to the Dragon Clan."

Just as Yuanshi Tianzun finished speaking, Bai Chen Yuanshi Tianzun out his little paw towards him, as if asking for a reward.
