Flying Sickle explained the situation in detail, but Di Jun merely narrowed his eyes, and the Quasi-Saint's pressure immediately bore down on him.
He shouted,
"Human Race? Do you think you can fool me?!"
Flying Sickle felt as though his soul were crumbling apart and hurriedly begged for mercy. "Please forgive me, Heavenly Emperor! I wouldn't dare deceive you. That Human Race brat is strange indeed! Apart from being Innate Human Race created by Saint Nuwa, he has no teacher or sect, and no foundation to speak of."
"And yet he's reached Grand Unity Golden Immortal! There's definitely something suspicious about him!"
"He's only a Grand Unity Golden Immortal! Just wipe him out!" Di Jun replied, utterly calm.
"The Innate Human Race live on Shouyang Mountain. If we barge in recklessly, what about Saint Nuwa and Grand Pure Sage?" Flying Sickle was worried. If they forced their way into the Human Race's home on Shouyang Mountain, they would find the manifestations of Lord Taiqing the Sage and Saint Nuwa, who had both become Saints and ancestors through the Human Race's fortune. Wouldn't barging in show disrespect to the two Saints?
"Go without worry. I'll explain things to Empress Nuwa and Grand Pure Sage myself."
"Understood!" Flying Sickle accepted the order.
"They dared kill a righteous god of the Demon Clan. If we can't even slay a few insignificant members of the Human Race, won't those brutes of the Wu Clan laugh at us?"
Di Jun struck out casually with his palm. The aftershock swept across thirty thousand miles, and the stars of the Heavenly Cycle trembled.
A moment later, Di Jun's figure vanished from the main hall of the Heavenly Court.
When he appeared again, he was outside Wa Huang Palace.
"Please announce me. Demon Emperor Di Jun requests an audience with Empress Nuwa." Di Jun spoke calmly to the gate attendant.
"Your Majesty, the Heavenly Emperor! Empress Nuwa has been in seclusion for a long time..." the attendant replied respectfully.
"In seclusion?" Di Jun was puzzled. Someone among the Human Race had relied on the first Kindling Fire to gain immense merit after the fact and enjoy the Human Race's fortune. Surely Saint Nuwa wouldn't have remained completely unmoved.
Why hadn't she asked about it?
Then he understood.
A Saint's thoughts reached everywhere, throughout the Primordial Universe. She had probably foreseen his arrival long ago.
By not appearing now, she had already given him her answer.
"In that case, I won't disturb Empress Nuwa's secluded cultivation any further!"
Di Jun addressed Wa Huang Palace, where Nuwa was in seclusion, then left.
The next moment, a sigh came from within Wa Huang Palace.
Both sides had deep ties to her. She truly couldn't intervene.
Under the Primordial Tribulation, everything had its own destined course. Even Saints could only abide by the Heavenly Dao's decree; they couldn't forcibly change it.
A New Book Completed: Invincible Heavenly Emperor! [Please, I Beg You for Gifts!]
The Primordial Wilderness, the Human Race's ancestral land, Shouyang Mountain!
Half a month had passed since Jiang Chen slew Chongming Bird, the Demon God of the Demon Clan.
They said that one day in Heaven was a year on Earth.
But for someone at Jiang Chen's level, a day and a year were no different.
Time in the Primordial Wilderness was beyond counting. A thousand years could pass in the blink of an eye, and a brief stretch of time was over in a flash.
During this period, Jiang Chen had endured the calamity brought by Chongming Bird and witnessed the peak combat prowess of the Witch and Demon Clans. He'd thrown himself into his work, determined to carve out a bright future for the Human Race and himself!
So he'd spent nearly half a month in seclusion!
At last, Invincible Brat was nearing its conclusion.
At that moment, Jiang Chen's entire mind was immersed in his book. It was as though he'd crossed the ages and arrived in a Great World.
He relived the life of that peerless, invincible man.
A youth emerged from the Great Wilderness! He slew every enemy under Heaven!
How much that resembled the Human Race's plight at that very moment—they, too, had risen from the Primordial Wilderness!
Jiang Chen wrote as if guided by the divine.
He brought the characters in his book vividly to life!
Born with the Supreme Bone, the boy was invincible from the start, yet someone had gouged out his bone and drained his blood!
As a brat, he was a bundle of joy. His favorite thing was to keep drinking beast milk long past the age of three!
After the deaths of the seven gods of the Lower Realm, he endured countless hardships and was reborn!
Before Imperial Pass, he stood tall and carefree. "A man roams the four corners of the world; wherever he goes can be his home! Wherever he dies, there he shall be buried. The green hills beneath Heaven are all the same!"
His life was lonely and wretched, yet he defied Heaven and soared ever higher!
He traversed the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, cultivated the Seed of the Self, and slew countless powerful foes!
His talent was unmatched throughout the ages. Born to cultivate the Dao and destined to face tribulations, he lived a life of incomparable glory and forged countless legends.
In the end, Jiang Chen wrote faster and faster. Before he knew it, he'd reached the final pages.
That climactic battle had drained him. Writing such a powerful Book World felt like an act of Immense Merit no less than Nuwa Creates Humans!
"One sword cleaved through the ages, severed the heavens above, and divided the endless years."
"That was the power of time. Space shifted and the years changed. Across the ages, a Supreme Might spread far and wide."
Jiang Chen wrote each word one by one. As he reached the heart of the story, his emotions were swept into it, as though he himself were that invincible figure who stood above the world!
Then came the final passage, just before he set down his pen.
"Deep in the reaches beyond the heavens above, he had countless followers at his side, all of them peerless powerhouses!"
"Though terrifying wars raged there, he still blazed with glory and shone with splendor. This was the legend of the Invincible Heavenly Emperor!"
The pen fell!
The book was complete!
In an instant, Golden Light filled every character, making each one appear to contain Boundless Might!
Every character seemed like a Great World, the origin of a universe!
They were the hazy mystery of Primordial Chaos, the most primordial substance in the Primordial World!
A boundless, majestic man who had always crushed his enemies appeared!
He possessed a Sage-like Aura. With a glance, he could bring the ages to an end; with a raised hand, he could destroy time. His aura was immense!
At last, that figure vanished into the Book World Jiang Chen had written.
The characters rearranged themselves, one by one!
"Hah!"
In an instant, the system's notification rang out!
"Ding! Detected that the host has completed a Work of Deification, Invincible Brat. Generating information..."
Title: Invincible Brat
Pen Name: Jiang Chen
Quality: Work of Deification
Synopsis: A grain of dust can fill the sea; a blade of grass can cut down the sun, moon, and stars. With a snap of the fingers, Heaven and Earth turn upside down. Heroes rise together, countless races stand side by side, and Saints vie for supremacy, throwing the world into chaos. Who rules this vast Earth?! Born to cultivate the Dao, destined to face tribulations! A youth emerges from the Great Wilderness, slaying every enemy under Heaven...
"Ding! Invincible Brat has been generated. System Optimization in progress!"
"Optimization?!!!" Jiang Chen was very pleased. This was what he liked most about the system.
Any book could be raised to the level of the Primordial Plane and contend with the Primordial Wilderness!
He'd already witnessed how terrifying Exotic Fire Fighting World was. Burning Art, which hadn't even counted as an Immortal Art, could actually grant the Human Race a Path to Sainthood through Transcendence and Attainment of Dao!
And Invincible Brat surely contained a path to something even higher!
"Ding! The book's setting has been raised to the Primordial Plane! Deploying Heavenly Dao Imprint!"
"Ding! Please select the Target Race, deployment time, and deployment location!"
"Uh... the Human Race! Immediately! A Human Tribe!"
This time, Jiang Chen had learned from his previous experience and was prepared, but he still chose the Human Race.
First, this book's setting was practically made for the Human Race of the Primordial Wilderness!
The Human Race of the Primordial Wilderness could gain the deepest insights from it. They would feel as though they were experiencing it themselves!
Besides, he was now revered as the Human Emperor and shared the Human Race's fortunes and hardships. He couldn't simply stand by and do nothing.
"Ding! Deployment successful!"
After the deployment was complete, Jiang Chen continued his seclusion to consolidate his Grand Unity Golden Immortal cultivation.
That was because he'd received many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the Human Tribe!
During this short half month, he wasn't the only one striving to make the Human Race stronger.
The Human Tribe itself had also been deeply affected. The Demon Clan had roamed their settlements at will, raising a hand to wipe out their primitive tribes.
They'd already felt how powerless they were. If they couldn't grow stronger, they'd remain no different from ants!
