As Di Xin delved deeper into the Kongtong Seal, he gradually touched upon its core.

This seal, originally in the hands of the Grand Pure Sage, was later traded by Nuwa for Human Race karma and gifted to Emperor Fuxi as a birthday present.

Subsequently, the Kongtong Seal, a supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure condensed from the Human Race Destiny, this ultimate treasure of the Human Race, was then encountered, developed, and utilized by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and various saints!

Among them were strands of primordial power carved into the Kongtong Seal by the saints: Sui Ren Shi's Fire of Humanity, Earth Emperor Shen Nong's Shen Nong Cauldron imprint, Human King Xuanyuan's Xuanyuan Sword imprint, and more...

However, these precious gifts from the saints to the Human Race were now being used by a certain Human King for barbecuing, stewing, frying, and stir-frying...

"High-end ingredients often only require simple cooking. Master E Lai, who has been busy for two hours, has already been sent to the side by someone..."

Di Xin hummed a little tune, controlling the flames, and let the two master chefs begin their busy lives.

"Shen Nong Cauldron, and the Fire of Humanity, Great, Great King, doing this..."

Aren't you afraid of divine retribution?

E Lai scratched his head, the questions in his heart he didn't dare to voice.

However, since coming out today, the Great King's mood seemed much more relaxed, no longer as gloomy as in the past few months. This should be a good thing, right?

Not counting this unreliable matter.

"Don't worry, the realms of the saints have long since transcended our imagination.

Moreover, what was Sui Ren Shi's purpose in drilling wood for fire? It was for us to drive away wild beasts and obtain cooked food.

What is Shen Nong Cauldron, the Shen Nong Cauldron of the Earth Emperor, used for? It is used to study herbs, making the Human Race stronger!

As for Xuanyuan, the Human King, his sword was used to slay enemies of the Human Race!

So, is there a problem with me doing this? No problem!"

Di Xin happily enlightened E Lai. After months of hard work, the reward was finally coming, how could he not be happy?

In three months, he had deciphered the poem inscribed in Nuwa Palace and shot down Fengming Qishan! He had resolved both life-threatening challenges, and immediate worries were gone!

Grand Tutor Wen Zhong of the Northern Frontier was returning to court, and Li Jing of the East Sea had begun training troops. Ten thousand slaves had been selected and in a few months, they would transform into proud and fierce warriors! He had gradually integrated and fully controlled the power within the court!

The Kongtong Seal, by borrowing the power of the Human Race saints, represented the greatest support for him from the Human Race; with Daji of Jizhou entering the palace, he could ascertain the attitude of Saint Nuwa towards him; by bringing Yang Jian into Chaoge, he could ascertain the attitude of Primordial Heavenly Venerate of Heavenly Origin Sect towards him; in the Northern Sea, he saw that the Western Teachings were indeed stirring up trouble. If he waited a little longer, the situation would gradually become clear and transparent.

In a short while, he would know if he had truly opened a sliver of a path to survival, if the future could be changed, and if his stolen "great talent and foresight" would have an opportunity to be displayed. How could this not make him anticipate, excite, and be happy?

Therefore, his suppressed nature for three months also showed a hint of itself.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

"Father King, what are you doing? It smells amazing!"

"Master!"

"Dad."

A group of little ones, attracted by the rising aroma, peeked into the backyard. After hesitating for a moment upon seeing Di Xin, they couldn't resist the temptation and decided to take the risk.

"You guys have sharp noses."

Di Xin smiled and pointed at the meat stew in the cauldron:

"This thing is specially prepared for you!"

"Father King, there's really a lot of meat in this stew!"

Yin Hong curiously peered into the cauldron, and the next second, he felt a sense of existential doubt: Am I a fake prince? Is my family that poor? Such a large cauldron is used to make meat stew, but where is the meat?

Huh? There really is!

Yin Hong suddenly extended his right hand, brought his little finger to his eyes, and then looked at the small piece of meat at the bottom of the clear meat stew.

Well, they were the same size!

"You brat, just the soup from this piece of meat is enough to keep you awake for two days after drinking two bowls."

Even if these little ones at the Golden Immortal realm ate a piece the size of a fingernail, they would explode from the spiritual energy. Hence, this pot of "meat stew."

Currently, Di Xin did not possess complete cultivation methods, so he only taught these little ones how to circulate their Blood Essence, temper their bodies, and hone their martial arts.

But this method was too crude, only allowing them to utilize a small portion of their self-replenishing energy. The remaining portion would settle in their bodies, and more would dissipate into the world through breathing and other means.

"Alas, to use Destiny as the foundation, Incense as sustenance, to stand on Human Race land, to rely on the hearts of the people, to gather the power of thousands to transform a space into a Divine Domain, this is a guardian general of the Human Race.

Success depends on the hearts of the people, and failure also depends on the hearts of the people, but the hearts of the people are the most unpredictable. Should this cultivation method be tested or not?"

Di Xin's gaze fell upon Mo Xuan. When he pondered this cultivation method, this little fellow had just been brought into the palace by Yin Hong and Yin Jiao. Coupled with this little fellow's peculiar fate and exceptional talent, it was as if someone had specifically sent him as an experimental subject.

However, he had been busy with other matters these days, and coupled with his hesitation, he had not made up his mind. It was only today...

"Wow, it smells so good!"

"Uncle Yin, did you call us to eat?"

As Di Xin's thoughts wavered, Jin Zha and Mu Zha, two little fellows, ran over, drawing the attention of all the little ones.

"Hahaha, of course."

Di Xin pulled the two of them and brought them before the other little ones:

"These two are Li Jin Zha and Li Mu Zha, and they will be studying with you from now on."

"Hello, I'm Mu Zha, and this is my older brother Jin Zha. We hope you'll guide us a lot in the future."

Mu Zha walked out boldly, saying with a grin.

"I am Yin Jiao, and this is my younger brother Yin Hong."

"My name is Mo Xuan."

"Huang Tianlu."

While the few youngsters were introducing themselves, several large bowls had already been placed before the cauldron. Di Xin pointed to the meat broth in the bowls and said:

"Come on, little ones, one bowl each. Let's try the taste first."

"Big brother, Father King seems a little different today."

Yin Hong tugged at Yin Jiao's sleeve and whispered in his ear.

"Don't overthink it, just drink your soup."

Yin Jiao's mouth twitched: Silly brother, do you think Father King can't hear you at this close distance?

But, he is indeed different. This smile, it's just like when Yin Hong's prank is about to succeed?

--Slurp

"Hic! This is so delicious, Master. Can I have another bowl?"

While the two brothers were dawdling, Mo Xuan had already obediently walked over, picked up the large bowl, and drank it all.

"Silly disciple, that foolish kid Fang is smarter than you."

"Hic! Great King, did you call me?"

Fang licked his lips, his eyes fixed on the pot.

"Shut up and drink your soup!"

E Lai roared, startling Fang into flinching behind Yin Hong. E Lai waved his fist:

"I'll deal with you when we get home!"

Great King, you're really ruthless, even sacrificing your own son!
