I, the Human Emperor, Madly Writing Books to Create Emperors

In years past, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun had done the same—comprehending an ultimate extreme, transcending above all!

Now, the Human Race did the same, striving so that every single human, like those with innate foundations, could transcend above all!

Now, the Great Dao acknowledged it!

Now, beneath the Great Dao, the Heavenly Dao and the Human Dao coexisted!

The Human Dao stood alongside the Heavenly Dao!

If one were to speak of karma, the Human Dao and the Heavenly Dao stood as equals—acknowledged by the Great Dao!

Even the karma of a Saint could not rival it!

The Human Dao, recognized by the Great Dao and coexisting with the Heavenly Dao—

Was a path belonging exclusively to the Human Race!

Its future was destined to be extraordinary!

The Ancestral Witches could not peer into the distance beside the Heavenly Dao to see whether a long river of the Human Dao had truly appeared.

Yet when they looked upon the myriad humans, they felt a sense of disorientation, as if separated by an era.

It was not a world apart, but a Dao apart!

A distance far greater than the peaks of heaven's edge, the corners of the seas, or the Four Extremes of heaven and earth.

"He... is so powerful..." Houtu parted her small lips slightly, gazing up at Jiang Chen.

Though a Saint's countenance could not be clearly seen, Jiang Chen only possessed a Saint's cultivation, not a Saint's Dao Fruit, so she could make out his features.

He was one who had led his people, forging a path that belonged solely to them.

Houtu yearned for Jiang Chen's realm—not his power, but his state of mind!

A divine, fearless heart that dared to establish justice for the Human Race, dared to blaze a trail through thorns for them, and dared to tread the ultimate peak for them!

Among the Witch and Demon Clans, none could surpass him!

In all the Primordial World, none could match him!

In her heart, Jiang Chen was a true guide who would risk everything for his people, holding nothing back!

From then on, a seed was planted in Houtu's heart.

She too wished to lead the Wu Clan forward like Jiang Chen, to reach that step.

Though the road ahead was dim, she had no fear, no regrets!

The several Ancestral Witches were all lost in thought.

The two supreme powerhouses of the Demon Race were also bewildered.

What they had seen and heard today was unprecedented, unheard of!

Even the mighty Two Sages of the West and Saint Nuwa had left their secluded cultivation grounds and arrived at the summit of Shouyang Mountain, the Human Ancestral Land!

Thus, all six Saints gathered, their overwhelming Saint's Pressure making it impossible for anyone to gaze briefly at the zenith of the heavens.

"The Human Dao... the Human Dao..." Saint Nuwa's peerless face was veiled in the mist of Chaos, her voice murmuring to herself.

She recalled the time when she had created humanity, never knowing that beneath the Great Dao, beside the Heavenly Dao, there was also a Human Dao!

Alas, among the myriad races of the Primordial World, the billions of living beings, even if some knew of the Human Dao's existence, who would have thought—

That the frail Human Race, the ant-like Human Race, was the sole vessel of the Human Dao!

"Elder Brother..." Upper Pure and Jade Pure turned their heads to gaze at the Grand Pure Sage, words on their lips but unable to speak.

The Grand Pure Sage was the leader of the Human Teachings, the former faith of the Human Race.

He had once established the Golden Elixir Path for humanity.

They had thought that by cutting off the Golden Elixir Path, even if the Human Race reclaimed boundless fortune, they could never rise again.

But who could have imagined that Jiang Chen would find for the Human Race a Dao rivaling the Heavenly Dao?

"How could this be..." The Grand Pure Sage strained to see the long river of the Human Dao, now free from the Heavenly Dao's shackles.

Alas, now that he had severed all karma with the Human Race, he could no longer have any connection with the Human Dao.

Originally, that should have been his opportunity for a greater Dao!

A chance to reach the same level as the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Alas, there were no ifs.

Even if the Grand Pure Sage regretted it, it was too late!

He had cut off all karma with the Human Race, leaving no ties.

From then on, each went their own way.

"Such immense fortune! The Human Dao, leaping free from the long river of the Heavenly Dao—even we Saints, with our Dao Fruits, cannot directly perceive the Human Dao's river!"

The Two Sages of the West marveled in astonishment.

"Perhaps only the Dao Ancestor, our Master, who merged with the Heavenly Dao, can truly sense the myriad aspects of the Human Dao, which exists beneath the same Great Dao."

Zhunti gazed into the distance beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, toward the Purple Cloud Palace.

Suddenly!

Above the Purple Cloud Palace!

A voice that spread to every corner of the Primordial World, entering the ears of all living beings, exploded with a thunderous roar!

"I speak on behalf of the Heavenly Dao!! Beneath the Great Dao, the Heavenly Dao and the Human Dao shall coexist!"

Chapter 34: The Rise of the Human Dao, Nuwa's Choice [Kneeling for Flowers and Tips]

Across the vast Primordial World, only the voice of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, transmitted from the Purple Cloud Palace, remained.

That voice was very calm, yet extremely resonant.

It carried an unquestionable supreme authority, and countless living beings were forced to hear it.

The Heavenly Dao and the Human Dao coexisting!

Beneath the Great Dao, another path had emerged!

"The Lord of the Human Race has opened the Human Dao, leaping beyond the river of the Heavenly Dao. Yet the human race, born from the innate beings beneath the Heavenly Dao, still dwells within the Primordial World."

The long sound pierced the heavens. Jiang Cheng gazed into the distance toward the Purple Cloud Palace.

Hongjun was the one who merged with the Heavenly Dao, the teacher of the Saints!

He was the one who founded the Human Dao, the Lord of the Human Race!

But even Jiang Chen, now possessing the cultivation of a Saint, could not help but feel a profound sense of danger when facing Hongjun.

The Human Dao had just been born; naturally, it was inferior to the Heavenly Dao.

This inferiority was not inherent.

In principle, beneath the Great Dao, whether the Heavenly Dao or the Human Dao, both were equal!

The only difference was that the living beings within the Human Dao were far inferior to the Primordial Beings beneath the Heavenly Dao.

They could not push the Human Dao to maturity.

Thus, a clear understanding dawned in Jiang Chen's heart. He now had a goal.

To elevate the countless beings of the human race to a level comparable to—or even surpassing—the countless beings of the Primordial World!

To perfect the entire Human Dao!

Only then could he regard even the Heavenly Dao Saints as equals!

Fortunately, the one advantage at present was that the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who had merged with the Heavenly Dao, could not easily make a move against him; otherwise, he would surely suffer the backlash of karmic retribution from the Great Dao.

Merging with the Dao was an unparalleled benefit before the founding of the Human Dao.

But after the Human Dao was established, it came with restrictions.

Hongjun likely understood this as well, which was why he had chosen this moment to speak out and warn the entire Primordial World.

"Lord of the Human Race, the Human Dao has just begun to rise... everything must prioritize the living beings of the human race..."

These words were transmitted by Hongjun directly to Jiang Chen's ear.

Among the Witch and Demon Clans present, only the Saints could trace the trajectory and half-understand the meaning.

Jiang Chen did not immediately respond to Hongjun.

How could he not understand Hongjun's intent?

Although what Hongjun said—that the Human Dao was just beginning to rise—was true, the implication behind "everything must prioritize the living beings of the human race" was clearly a warning: he should not create karmic entanglements with the human race still living in the Primordial World.

To be more specific, he should not pursue past grievances any further.

Grand Pure had already had his Saintly Position stripped because of the human race, his strength plummeting from being second only to Hongjun to a level comparable to the lowest-ranked Saints, the Two Sages of the West.

Moreover, Jiang Chen had already slain a Demon God.
