Donghua Breaks Through, and Civil Strife Erupts Among the Human Race
In the land of Dao Origin, Donghua looked up at the True Dragon formed from the Emperor's Dao. Then, the Great Dao Power burst forth, and all the insights into the Great Dao in his heart were transformed into the Dao Law Power, which were all added to the True Dragon.
At this moment, all Three Thousand Great Daos of Donghua Perfection transformed into the Emperor Dao Power, which is Yin Yang and Five Elements, the Pure Yang Eight Trigrams, the Creation and Cause and Effect, and all of which are the Emperor's Dao.
"Whether it's the Hun Yuan Heavenly Emperor, the Great Heavenly Venerate of the Three Realms, or Donghua, my original aspiration and my path have always been to protect and uphold justice for heaven and earth."
"Then my path to becoming an emperor will be the same!"
As Donghua finished speaking, the boundless Great Dao Power within his body formed the Dao Law Power, soaring into the sky and then landing on the True Dragon.
Donghua soared into the sky, merging with the Emperor's Dragon. In an instant, the Land of Dao Origin began to riot, the power of the Three Thousand Great Daos mingled and then extended into the Primordial World.
At this moment, in the Primordial Wilderness world, the Three Thousand Great Daos appeared above the nine heavens. The Dao Law Power was like an inverted Milky Way, forming a long river of Great Daos, in which the Great Dao Power permeated.
This sudden scene shocked everyone in the Primordial Wilderness. They had no idea what had happened, and everyone started to deduce the outcome, but they found that they couldn't predict anything.
Blank!
Still blank!
They couldn't figure out what had happened, and they couldn't calculate anything at all. Even during the Great Tribulation, they could still calculate something, but this time they had no clue whatsoever.
Not only the Great Powers of the Primordial Wilderness, but also the Saint did the same. In the Jade Void Palace of Kunlun Mountain, after Yuanshi failed to deduce the truth, he directly crossed the River of Time and Space and came to the place where the Taishang Daoist Temple was located.
"Elder brother, do you know what happened?" Yuanshi asked Taishang directly after Yuanshi without any pleasantries.
At this moment, Taishang slowly put away the Taiji Diagram, and then said in a calm voice, "I didn't calculate it, but I can guess what happened."
"In the Primordial Wilderness, only a few of us could make such a commotion. Just now, I surveyed the entire Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. The two Western Region goddesses are still in the Pure Land of Ultimate Primordial Wilderness, Nuwa is in the Heaven Realm Taisu Heaven, Houtu is in the Netherworld Realm. Only Donghua has left no trace."
"Donghua seems to be in the Primordial Wilderness, yet he also seems not to Primordial Wilderness. It's likely that this extraordinary phenomenon is related to him."
After Taishang finished speaking, Yuanshi immediately made some calculations and found that it was exactly as Taishang had said. Donghua's whereabouts were very strange, as if he were in the eastern part of Primordial Wilderness prehistoric world, but also as if he were not in the Primordial World at all.
"Brother, do you think Donghua might break through to the Fourth Heaven Realm?"
Taishang pondered for a moment, then said, "It's possible, but I don't know about the Hunyuan Fourth Heaven realm, nor do I know how to open the path, so I can't judge it."
Yuanshi fell silent. During this time, he had been focused on comprehending the Great Dao, and his realm and strength had increased rapidly, all for the purpose of defeating and surpassing Donghua. But if Donghua broke through at this time, what chance would he have?
At this moment, even the joy of Yuanshi breaking through his realm vanished!
In the Eastern Sea's Biyou Palace, the Western Paradise, the Heavenly Realm of Taisu, and the Netherworld, everyone harbors the same question: What exactly is Donghua doing?
However, Donghua, located in the Land of Dao Origin, has reached the most crucial moment. Humans and the Dao are united, and he transforms into a dragon. The Emperor Dao Power sweeps across the Land of Dao Origin, causing the whole world to cheer.
But that makes sense, doesn't it? What Heavenly Dao loves most is to strengthen itself. Now that Donghua has pioneered a brand new Great Dao on top of the perfected Emperor Dao in the Primordial Wilderness, how could he not be happy?
"Break!"
A thunderous sound of the Great Dao resounded in the Dao Source Land, instantly breaking the shackles of the Dao. The Emperor Dao Power extended in the Dao Source Land, and Donghua's cultivation level also reached a miraculous realm.
"Bump!"
It sounded like shattering glass, or perhaps the sound of the Dao resounding; it was as if there was no sound at all. But Donghua had successfully paved the way, and his cultivation level had reached the Hunyuan Fourth Heaven.
An immense pressure spread across the land of Dao Origin, causing all Three Thousand Great Daos to submit.
If others were to witness this scene, they would likely be utterly astonished. The great path they usually pursued had all submitted to Donghua. There was truly a phrase that was both "fuck you" and something else entirely.
After breaking through his cultivation realm, Donghua did not rush to leave. Instead, he began to cultivate and consolidate his realm. If possible, he would like to continue cultivating here. Compared to this place, the so-called heaven and earth, world, and cave dwelling in the Primordial World were like the countryside.
But that's obviously impossible. The Dao Law Power here is related to the stability of the Primordial World. How could the Heavenly Dao allow Donghua to cultivate here indefinitely? It's simply impossible.
Time flies, and after the Phoenix Clan massacred the Sky Eagle Clan, the Primordial World fell silent once more. However, as time passed, the conflicts between various races and forces resurfaced, and an even greater war was brewing.
After Donghua left Shouyang Mountain, the Heavenly Sovereign finally made his move. The anger that had been dormant in his heart for so long could finally be vented. He had a clear understanding of those troublesome humans and those outsiders who were sowing discord.
Did he really think that all these years, the Heavenly Sovereign had just been a coward? Did he really think that he, the Emperor of Humanity, had done nothing? Was he some kind of useless coward?
Where is Dahong?
Not long after the Heavenly Sovereign finished speaking, a figure suddenly appeared in the hall. He was clad in armor, which covered his entire body and blocked the detection of outsiders' divine senses, making him seem like a ghost in the darkness.
This person is named Gui Rongqu, also known as Dahong. He is a human born after birth, but his cultivation talent is extraordinary, especially in the cultivation of the Dark Path, where he is like a fish in water. He has cultivated to the peak of Grand Unity realm with his human body. Moreover, he has extremely high talent in the way of battle formations and weapons, which is truly rare.
Dahong was also a staunch supporter of the Heavenly Sovereign. When the Lich Kings slaughtered the human race, Dahong's tribe was wiped out, but he was saved by the Heavenly Sovereign and has been loyal to the Heavenly Sovereign ever since.
"Your Majesty, is there anything I need to do?" Dahong's voice sounded a little hoarse and devoid of any emotion.
The Heavenly Sovereign nodded, and then explained the whole story, including his impending reincarnation.
"Dahong, you are the person I trust most. Whether I can regain control of the human race after my reincarnation depends on you." The Heavenly Sovereign patted Dahong's shoulder earnestly.
Although he had the support of the Heavenly Emperor and the Saint after his reincarnation, his foundation among the human race was very weak, especially after the reigns of two Human Emperors.
If he wanted to become the third Human Emperor, he couldn't rely solely on the help of others; he needed his own power base, and Dahong was one of the contingency plans he left behind.
Dahong knelt down immediately and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will do everything I can to await Your Majesty's reincarnation. The human race will still be your human race, and you will still be the emperor of the human race."
After discussing their plans for a while, the two ended their conversation. Then, the Heavenly Sovereign summoned many ministers of the human race, as well as high-ranking members of the human race such as the Earth Sovereign, Suiren Clan, and Zhi Shengshi, to discuss how to eliminate the human race.
"Bump!"
A voice rang out, and Donghua's Great Dao and Divine Sense were instantly ejected from the Dao Source Land. This time, it was Hongjun who personally intervened. He simply couldn't stand by and watch. Donghua was not only absorbing and refining it himself, but also collecting the Great Dao Power, refining it into fragments of the Great Dao Rules, and then packing them up and taking them away.
Originally, Hongjun could have turned a blind eye to Donghua absorbing and refining it himself, but this behavior directly made Hongjun's eyelids twitch, which is why the incident just happened, where Donghua was slapped out of the Dao Source Land.
"Master, you're being too stingy. It's not that I'm greedy, but it's truly not easy to have such a large family and business."
But before Donghua could finish speaking, a bolt of Zixiao Divine Thunder descended from the sky and struck Donghua.
Donghua felt a surge of pain throughout his body, including his own body, which was trembling. This was a feeling he hadn't experienced in a long time.
"I wonder how many levels Master's cultivation realm is; it's truly terrifying!"
A true expert's skill is immediately apparent. Hongjun's simple divine lightning bolt caught Donghua off guard, directly shattering his Hun Yuan Heavenly Emperor True Body and striking his Great Dao.
Donghua sensed that he hadn't suffered any real harm, but that was the most terrifying part—his defenses had been broken, yet he hadn't been hurt in the slightest.
He knew that Hongjun was giving him a lesson, making him understand the principle that there are always higher realms and more capable people, and preventing him from becoming arrogant and conceited because of his breakthrough in cultivation level.
Donghua stood up and patted Gouchen beside him, saying, "You good-for-nothing, come with me to the human race to find Fuxi."
Seeing that the terrifying aura emanating from Donghua had disappeared, Gouchen quickly got up from the ground and asked, "Boss, did you break through to a higher realm?"
With a "smack!" Donghua slapped Gouchen on the head, then said, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Head straight to Qishan."
Gouchen hung its head, let out an "oh," and then its four hooves flew off, disappearing from the spot like a gust of wind.
Just as Donghua arrived at Qishan, a battle was taking place there between the people sent by the Heavenly Sovereign and the Long Yin people of the Huaxu Tribe.
Upon arriving, Donghua did not reveal himself but instead observed the scene. He wanted to know how the Heavenly Sovereign dealt with these rebellious humans and other infiltrators among them.
The person who came to deal with Long Yin was none other than Suiren Clan, one of the top five experts of the human race, a peak Grand Unity cultivator who cultivated the Great Dao of Fire, controlled the fire of civilization, and used his own Dao to refine a top-tier acquired spiritual treasure Suiren Drill.
It's unclear whether Heavenly Dao favored the human race or Suiren Clan was truly talented, but he was able to refine a top-tier acquired spiritual treasure using only his Grand Unity cultivation.
Donghua himself had only successfully refined one top-tier acquired spiritual treasure, and that was only by chance.
In the battlefield below, Suiren Clan led his army to completely surround Long Yin and his group, clearly intending to give them no way out or retreat.
Suiren Clan, holding the Suiren Drill, shouted angrily, "Long Yin, you disobeyed His Majesty's orders, annexed other tribes without authorization, and launched an unjust war. Now, by order of His Majesty the Heavenly Sovereign, I am bringing you back to the Human Ancestral Land to await your judgment. Are you willing to surrender?"
Long Yin raised his long sword and pointed it at the Suiren Clan, shouting, "Heavenly Sovereign? He doesn't deserve the title! He's just a coward who only knows how to cling to life. In this era of great strife, people like him will only lead the human race into the abyss."
"I, Long Yin, led my people to explore and forge ahead, bringing the once desolate Huaxu Tribe to this state. What wrong have I done?"
"Don't you agree?"
As Long Yin finished speaking, cheers erupted all around, echoing his words. These people were all those who had benefited from Long Yin's Long Yin campaigns.
How could those who have already profited so easily give up their current gains and start over?
Suiren Clan glanced at the crowd with a headache. He had dealt with the affairs of several tribes, but the Huaxu Tribe was the most troublesome for him. After much thought, he decided to suppress it by force.
However, after several battles, Long Yin and his men's fighting spirit soared, and the morale of their subordinates was high, so the final battle became a stalemate.
The stalemate wasn't because Suiren Clan couldn't win, but because Long Yin's side was too united. To eliminate Long Yin would mean crippling or even eradicating the Huaxu Tribe, something Suiren Clan didn't want to do.
But sometimes things don't go as planned, and many things can't be changed just by not wanting them to, which ultimately led to today's battle.
"Long Yin, for your own selfish reasons, you have disregarded the interests of your race and the greater good of humanity. What face do you have to speak ill of His Majesty?" Suiren Clan angrily rebuked.
Then, turning to the others of the Huaxu Tribe, he said softly, "Everyone, I believe you all know me, Suiren Clan what kind of person I am. Today, can you trust me and lay down your weapons? His Majesty will not pursue your mistakes?"
Suiren Clan's words resonated deeply with everyone, especially regarding Suiren Clan character, which was generally considered reliable among humans. Crucially, they all knew that continuing the fight would be detrimental to them, as they were truly outmatched.
Before anyone could think further, Long Yin coldly snorted and said, "Senior Suiren Clan, I, Long Yin, trust your character, but I do not trust Heavenly Sovereign. Countless tribes have perished under his rule, and he has spared no one. At best, he destroys their cultivation and expels them from the human race; at worst, he kills them outright."
How can we trust you?
Long Yin's words immediately resonated with those present, who gripped their weapons tightly again, knowing the lessons of the past.
Upon seeing this scene, Donghua didn't think much of it. His Dharma Eye swept across the River of Time, and he roughly understood what had happened before.
"I never expected the Heavenly Sovereign's methods to be so ruthless!"
Through the River of Time, Donghua saw that the methods adopted by the Heavenly Sovereign and the human race's high-ranking officials were to divide and suppress, directly eliminating those disobedient tribal leaders, and then re-electing or arranging for a new tribal chief.
Such an approach can indeed deter some people and quickly eliminate the parasites of the human race, but it will also increase some conflicts, since those people are not just individuals, but have formed an interest group.
And there are many such tribes!
Specifically, what happened to the human race was similar to the reduction of feudal lords on Earth in Donghua's Previous Life, and the Heavenly Sovereign's approach was similar to that of the Jianwen Emperor, directly suppressing the reduction of feudal lords under the guise of righteousness.
P. S.: Guys, please give me some support!!
