This Was the Heavenly Emperor I Had Envisioned

Shouyang Mountain, located in the eastern part of the Primordial Wilderness, is not just a mountain, but a world in itself, with its mountain ranges undulating and stretching endlessly.

Donghua settled all the humans at the foot of Shouyang Mountain, where they began to live and multiply along the rolling mountain range.

Only the three thousand humans created by Nuwa possessed the cultivation of Immortal Dao; all others who came after them had cultivation levels below the Immortal Dao.

In today's Primordial Wilderness, such cultivation is no different from that of ordinary people.

Moreover, humans have no innate inheritance; they possess cultivation but cannot use it, just like a blank sheet of paper waiting for someone to draw on it.

Donghua was the first person to paint this!

During his time at Shouyang Mountain, Donghua explained the Great Dao to the human race, taught them the Purple Mansion Immortal Path, and imparted survival experience, essentially teaching them the most basic things.

Fuxi was also very dedicated to the human race, explaining the Great Dao and gradually imparting various theoretical knowledge.

Shouyang Mountain, White Lotus Cave, Jingyang Palace!

Donghua and Fuxi sat upright, chatting idly, sipping tea and discussing the Dao. This was a rare moment of leisure for Donghua, as a series of great battles were about to begin.

Although the Witch and Monster Two Clans may seem to be declining now, they are definitely not that simple. This is the foundation of countless eons. Just think about why the Witch and Monster Two Clans were able to mutually damage each other and withdraw from the Primordial Wilderness in later generations.

It's simply because these two races are ruthless!

As the two races fought to the very end, the eleven Ancestor Witch, Di Jun and Taiyi, all self-destructed, launching a suicidal attack in a way that left neither side willing to give an easy victory.

He worried that the Purple Mansion might also encounter this situation, and if it wasn't handled properly, he might perish, since he wasn't a true Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.

Therefore, the strength of the Witch and Monster Two Clans must be respected. This is why he did not launch a full-scale attack at the beginning, for fear of pushing these two races too far.

If that's the case, even if the Purple Mansion wins this battle, it will be a Pyrrhic victory, which is perhaps the result that the Three Pure Ones and others would like to see.

"Fellow Daoist Fuxi, do you still remember our conversation atop the Suspended Peak of the Purple Mansion Continent?"

Fuxi smiled, picked up a cup of Big Red Robe tea, took a small sip, and slowly said:

"I will never forget it, for that is Fuxi true nature, my Dao, and my pursuit."

Donghua lightly waved his folding fan and said, "That's good, that's good. My Purple Mansion still has a Great Emperor who rules over all spirits, and is still waiting for you, fellow Daoist."

Donghua initially recruited Fuxi to weaken the Heavenly Court and increase the power of the Purple Mansion, but now it's because it's a good fit.

If Purple Mansion wants to rule the Primordial World, Myriad Worlds, and all the races, there is one race he will inevitably have to deal with: the demon race!

Nowadays, many of the myriad races exist in name only, with only the demon race remaining. All living beings that can take human form can become demons.

Consider the number of demons in later generations. Although none of them are particularly outstanding, their sheer numbers make up for it. As long as heaven and earth exist, the demon race will never perish.

That's why we need a Great Emperor who rules over all spirits, or you could say Great Emperor who rules over the demon race.

Besides Di Jun and Taiyi, only Fuxi is qualified for this position, and only Fuxi can do it well. Even the Demon Master Kunpeng is not up to the task.

After all, the title of the Green Emperor was not given lightly.

Fuxi was pleased and happy to hear Donghua's words, because whether he was in the Purple Mansion or not would not affect the unification of the prehistoric Primordial Wilderness.

Donghua's attitude truly moved him, and he immediately stood up and said, "Thank you for not abandoning me, Fellow Daoist. I, Fuxi, am willing to enter the Purple Mansion to establish a heart for heaven and earth, to build an order for the coexistence of all races, and to establish a Primordial Wilderness that belongs to us."

After Fuxi finished speaking, he bowed deeply.

"Your subject Fuxi pays respects to Your Majesty!"

This bow established the relationship between ruler and subject, and set the course for the future of the Purple Mansion!

Donghua accepted the bow, then rose and helped Fuxi up, saying, "As fellow Daoists and confidants, though we have the title of ruler and subject, we do not distinguish between them in reality. From now on, you must not address me as Your Majesty, but simply as fellow Daoist!"

Fuxi shook his head and said, "A ruler is a ruler, and a subject is a subject. Public and private matters must be clearly distinguished. This is my principle in life, and there is no need to discuss it further."

Donghua laughed and said no more. After all, he had given him face, and whether he accepted it or not was his business.

The two sat down again, Fuxi immediately inquired about the current plans of the Purple Mansion.

"Your Majesty, what are the Purple Mansion's current plans, and how will it deal with the Witch and Monster Two Clans?"

Donghua didn't hide anything and said directly, "The Purple Mansion has pacified the East and has now completely accepted and established the East. Next are the Witch Clan in the South and North. Then we will launch a direct attack on Mount Buzhou and wipe out the Witch Clan with lightning speed."

"Ascend to Mount Buzhou, then ascend to heaven again to fight the demon race, pacify the Three Realms, and reach the pinnacle."

After listening, Fuxi nodded in approval and exclaimed, "Your Majesty's ambition is great. This plan is simple, but it is very difficult to execute. Since the beginning of the Primordial World, no force has ever been able to truly accomplish it. Perhaps the Purple Mansion will be the first."

"But I have something to say, though I'm unsure whether I should."

"But there's no problem, please speak!"

Fuxi pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, although surrounding Mount Buzhou from the four directions of east, west, south, and north could decide the Qiankun of the world in one battle, it would also cut off the path of the Witch and Demon Races. The war would inevitably be extremely fierce, and it could be described as a battle to the death."

"The ferocity of this war far surpasses that of the ancient Three Clans War, so is it necessary for our Purple Mansion to be so ruthless?"

"The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Cycle is forty-nine, and one is hidden away; this one represents vitality and change."

Donghua thought for a moment and asked:

"You mean we should open one side?"

Fuxi nodded solemnly; that was his intention—to leave a space for the witches and demons to escape.

Once the Purple Mansion has secured its position, it can slowly eliminate the remaining forces, or rather, recruit them to surrender. After all, by then, the chances of recruiting them will be much greater, unlike the situation now.

Donghua understood this principle, but what he feared was not the escaped Witch and Monster Two Clans, but whether this would affect his practice of the Great Dao and his Attain Hunyuan Dao.

Or rather, this wouldn't affect his attainment of the Attain Hunyuan Dao, but it might affect his achievement of the Heavenly Emperor Position.

If Heavenly Dao determines he is not qualified and he cannot become the Heavenly Emperor, who will he complain to?

Donghua then laid out his concerns, but there was nothing to hide, because he was now following the path of the emperor, a legitimate and open strategy.

Fuxi remained silent and pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "I think Your Majesty is overthinking this matter. Your Majesty's path lies in practicing the Imperial Way and helping you achieve your understanding of the Imperial Way. Does it matter whether or not you can unify the Primordial Wilderness?"

"I even believe that as long as we carefully manage and build up the East, establishing a complete order, His Majesty will be able to Attain Hunyuan Dao!"

After hearing this, Donghua seemed to understand. It seemed that he had indeed been getting stuck in a rut. Did he really need to unify the Primordial Wilderness to Attain Hunyuan Dao through the Emperor's Way and put his ideals into practice?

Perhaps it really isn't necessary!

Now that he has perfected the Great Dao and possesses the power of Hun Yuan, all he lacks is the Time and Space to verify his concept. Just like Nuwa created humans with the Creation Great Dao, Mysterious Creation to the extreme and instantly Attain Hunyuan Dao.

As for whether the human race, created by nature, will be born or perish, does it matter?

It doesn't matter, because as long as the human race is born, that's enough.

Of course, this is just one example, not to say that the human race is unimportant, but simply that the human race can no longer affect Nuwa's power.

Two beams of light shone in Donghua's eyes, and at that moment, he suddenly understood.

"Thank you for your guidance, fellow Daoist. Donghua is deeply grateful!"

Fuxi smiled but did not accept the greeting.

"Your Majesty is blinded by involvement, while I, as an outsider, have a clearer perspective. After all, this concerns the attainment of enlightenment, so how could I dare to be careless in the slightest? No amount of caution is too much."

Donghua laughed heartily, personally poured Fuxi a full cup of tea, and the two began to play chess and chat.

Just then, a person ran in from outside; it was none other than the Heavenly Sovereign.

"What is it?"

Heavenly Sovereign bowed and said, "Reporting to my teacher, Green Emperor, Suiren Clan has created a completely new kind of fire and wishes to have you see it."

"A brand new fire?"

Donghua asked in confusion, then used his Divine Sense to observe Shouyang, and instantly understood what had happened.

"Let's go take a look!"

He grabbed the Heavenly Sovereign and in an instant arrived at the foot of Shouyang Mountain, where many humans were watching something.

"Greetings, Master Green Emperor!"

Donghua waved his hand and said, "No need for formalities!"

"Suiren Clan, show me the fire you created, and let me see what you have to say?"

Although he already had a guess in his mind, Donghua still wanted to confirm it.

Suiren Clan then released the flame he had created, and as soon as he released it, it felt just like an ordinary flame, with no difference whatsoever.

However, upon closer examination, one can discover that it contains boundless power, manifesting vitality and immeasurable creation. Human beings and all living things evolve upon it, giving birth to all things, and nothing is unburnt, as if it were the Creation Divine Fire.

Yet it is completely different from Nuwa's Creation Divine Fire, because it is a fire of civilization, the flame of humanity.

"As expected, the flame belonging to the human race was born. Although it is not a fire-making method by friction, it is indeed unique and has strong potential for growth. The human race is truly blessed by nature."

Donghua understood immediately. Although the current flame of civilization was weak and could probably only be used to ignite wood, its potential for growth was definitely strong.

Don't underestimate the fact that it can only ignite wood. You also have to consider where this wood comes from. Ordinary wood from Primordial Wilderness primordial world would be a rare treasure in some smaller worlds. This is not an exaggeration at all.

"Excellent, excellent! You have not let us down. In just three thousand years, you have created a flame that belongs to your human race. Truly remarkable!" Donghua praised him generously.

Upon hearing this, Suiren Clan jumped for joy. After all, this was praise from his teacher, praise from someone who was about to Attain Hunyuan Dao.

After calming down, he excitedly asked, "Please, teacher, name this fire?"

"Fire is the origin of all things. When heaven and earth were first created, Earth Fire Water Wind evolved. Fire was the second thing to emerge, second only to earth, which shows its importance."

"Your human race, in its inception, is like the beginning of heaven and earth. At the dawn of civilization, you were the flame of civilization. I hope that your human race can be like this flame, possessing infinite vitality and infinite possibilities. Is that alright?"

The group was extremely excited after hearing this, feeling that Donghua's words were excellent and that this was the greatest encouragement for them.

"Thank you so much, teacher! We are extremely grateful!"

Donghua waved his hand and said, "There's no need to thank me. You created the fire; it has nothing to do with me. This is your skill and your achievement."

Suiren Clan hurriedly said, "Humanity was just beginning to emerge, Saint Mother was in seclusion cultivating and stabilizing her realm. Without the Human Teachings our teachers and the Green Emperor, how could we be where we are today, and how could the flame of civilization have been born?"

Donghua smiled and said nothing more. Instead, he sat down on the ground and invited everyone to sit down as well. He then began to chat with these humans.

They discussed profound principles, moral codes, and Primordial Wilderness gossip, talking about everything under the sun, creating a lively and humorous atmosphere, as if Donghua were a member of the human race.

Seeing this scene, Fuxi became even more determined in his thoughts.

"This is the Heavenly Emperor I've always dreamed of!"

P. S.: Chapter 2 is a little late; I just finished writing it. Sorry for the delay.
