Flying Sickle explained the situation in full detail, but Di Jun narrowed his eyes, his Quasi-Saint pressure directly enveloping Flying Sickle.
He barked:
"The Human race? Do you think This Seat is so easy to deceive?!"
Flying Sickle felt his very soul cracking apart and hastily begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, forgive me! I dare not deceive you. That human brat is utterly bizarre! Aside from the innate roots created by Saint Nuwa, he has no sect, no faction, no foundation to stand on."
"Yet he has cultivated to the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm! There is definitely something wrong!"
"Merely a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal! Just kill him outright!" Di Jun replied with utter calm.
"The Innate Human Race dwells on Shouyang Mountain. If we barge in rashly, what of Saint Nuwa and Lord Taiqing?" Flying Sickle worried. If they forced their way into the Human ancestral land of Shouyang Mountain, where the dharma images of Lord Taiqing the Sage and Saint Nuwa—both of whom had attained sagehood and founded their teachings through Human race's fortune—stood, would that not be an affront to the two Sages?
"Rest assured and go. As for Empress Nuwa and Lord Taiqing, This Seat will explain matters myself."
"Understood!" Flying Sickle accepted the order.
"If I cannot even slay an ant of the Human race after they dared kill an Orthodox God of my Demon Clan, would I not be mocked by those brutes of the Wu Clan?!"
Di Jun casually clapped his hand, and the residual might rippled across thirty thousand li, shaking the stars of the heavens.
Then, in the great hall of the Heavenly Court, Di Jun's figure vanished in an instant.
When he reappeared, he stood outside the Wa Huang Palace.
"Announce me. Di Jun of the Demon Clan requests an audience with Empress Nuwa!" Di Jun said calmly to the Attendant guarding the gate.
"Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor! Empress Nuwa the Saint has been in seclusion for a long time..." the Attendant replied respectfully.
"In seclusion?" Di Jun was somewhat puzzled. The Human race had someone relying on the first Kindling Fire to gain vast post-heavenly Merit and enjoy the fortune of the Human race—Saint Nuwa should not have been completely unresponsive, should she?
Why did she not intervene?
Then, he understood.
A Sage's thought penetrates all directions, the entire Primordial Universe. She had likely foreseen his arrival long ago.
Her refusal to appear now was itself an answer.
"Very well, then I shall not disturb Empress Nuwa's secluded cultivation any longer!"
Di Jun spoke toward the Wa Huang Palace where Nuwa was in seclusion, then departed.
The next moment, a sigh echoed from within the Wa Huang Palace.
Both sides were deeply connected to her, and she truly could not act.
Under the Primordial Tribulation, all things follow their destined course. Even a Sage can only revere the Heavenly Dao's decree, not forcibly alter it.
Chapter 13: New Book Ends, Invincible Heavenly Emperor! [Kneeling for Flowers and Tips]
The Great Wilderness, the Human ancestral land, Shouyang Mountain!
Half a month had passed since Jiang Chen slew the Demon God Chongming Bird of the Demon Clan.
They say a day in heaven is a year on earth.
But for someone of Jiang Chen's level, a day and a year made no difference.
The Primordial reckons not in years; millennia pass in a blink, and a short time is like a white colt flashing past a crack—gone in an instant.
During this time, having witnessed the calamity of the Chongming Bird and seen the top-tier combat power of the Witch and Demon Clans, Jiang Chen strove with all his might, seeking to carve out a bright and clear world for the Human race and for himself!
Thus, he went into seclusion for nearly half a month!
Finally, the [Invincible Brat] was nearing its conclusion.
At this moment, Jiang Chen, his entire mind and spirit immersed in the book, felt as though he had crossed the ages and arrived in a Great World.
He relived the life of that unparalleled, invincible being.
A youth emerged from the Great Wilderness! He slew all enemies under heaven!
How similar this was to the current plight of his own Human race—rising from the Primordial Earth!
Jiang Chen's brush moved as if guided by a divine force.
He brought the characters in the book to vivid life!
He was born a natural supreme being, an invincible one, yet his bones were dug out and his blood drunk!
In his bratty childhood, he was full of joy—his favorite thing was not being weaned at three, and his greatest love was drinking beast milk!
He endured the death and destruction of the seven gods of the lower realm, and was reborn through countless trials and tribulations!
Before the Imperial Pass, he was spirited and carefree: "A man roams the world—where is not home? Die where you fall, bury where you lie; every green hill under heaven is the same!"
His life was lonely, yet he soared against the heavens!
He trod the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, took the Seed of the Self, and annihilated foes as mighty as a thousand jun!
His talent was unmatched through the ages, born for cultivation, come for the calamity. His life was one of ultimate brilliance, forging endless legends.
Finally, Jiang Chen wrote faster and faster, unknowingly reaching the end.
That great battle drained his heart and mind, as if writing such a powerful Book World was an Immense Merit no less than Nuwa's creation of mankind!
"A single sword split open the ages, severed the heavens, and cut apart the endless years."
"That is the power of time, that is space in alternation, that is the change of the ages, crossing through eternal years, permeated with Supreme Might."
Jiang Chen wrote word by word, and as he delved deeper, his entire mind was drawn in, as if that figure who was invincible in the world was himself!
Finally, before setting down the brush, a passage.
"And in the depths above the heavens, by his side were countless followers, all supreme powerhouses!"
"There, though there were terrifying wars, he still blazed with brilliance, radiated splendor—that was the legend of the Invincible Heavenly Emperor!"
The brush fell!
The book was complete!
In an instant, golden light suffused every single character, making them seem to harbor Boundless Might!
Each character was like a Great World, the origin of the universe!
It was the misty haze of Primordial Chaos, the most primal thing in the Primordial World!
A vast and boundless man, one who always overwhelmed his enemies, manifested!
He bore a Sage-like Aura—the might to annihilate eternity with a single eye-opening, to destroy time with a raise of his hand!
Finally, that figure plunged directly into the Book World Jiang Chen had written.
The characters rearranged themselves!
"Ha!"
In that instant, the system's prompt arrived!
"Ding! Detected that the host has completed a Work of Deification [Invincible Brat], generating data..."
Title: [Invincible Brat]
Pen Name: Jiang Chen
Quality: Work of Deification
Synopsis: A speck of dust can fill the sea, a blade of grass can sever the sun, moon, and stars; a flick of the finger overturns heaven and earth. Heroes rise together, ten thousand races stand in array, sages contend for supremacy, chaos shakes heaven and earth. Ask the vast earth, who rules the rise and fall?! Born for cultivation, arriving to answer the tribulation! A youth emerges from the Great Wilderness, cutting down all enemies in the world...
"Ding! [Invincible Brat] has been generated, beginning System Optimization!"
"Optimization?!!!" Jiang Chen was very satisfied—this was the part of the system that pleased him most.
Any book could be elevated to the Primordial Level Plane, able to contend with the Primordial World!
He had already witnessed the terror of [Exotic Fire Fighting World]; the Burning Art, which originally wasn't even a celestial technique, could allow the Human Tribe to obtain the Path to Sainthood through Transcendence and Attainment of Dao!
And [Invincible Brat] surely contained a path of transcendence as well!
"Ding! Book settings have been elevated to the Primordial Level Plane! Beginning Heavenly Dao Imprint Deployment!"
"Ding! Please select the Target Race! Deployment Time! Deployment Location!"
"Uh... Human Tribe! Immediately! Human Tribe!"
This time, Jiang Chen had learned from past experience and was prepared, but he still chose the Human Tribe.
First, because the settings in this book were almost tailor-made for the Primordial Human Tribe!
The Primordial Humans could comprehend the most profound truths from it—a kind of empathetic resonance!
Second, he had already been honored as the Human Emperor, sharing weal and woe with the Human Tribe, so naturally he couldn't stand idly by.
"Ding! Deployment successful!"
After the deployment was complete, Jiang Chen continued his seclusion to consolidate his Primordial Unity Golden Immortal cultivation.
Because he had obtained many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the Human Tribe!
In this short half-month, it wasn't just him striving to make the Human Tribe stronger.
The Human Tribe itself was deeply affected; because the Demon Race roamed freely through the Human Tribe, casually wiping out Primordial Tribes.
They had already felt that sense of powerlessness—if they couldn't become stronger, they were no different from ants!
