"Exotic Fire Fighting World! It's truly terrifying! It even records a way to transcend and attain Dao!"
The Primordial Wilderness was vast beyond measure, its boundaries impossible to glimpse.
In the Primordial Tribes, countless members of the Human Race witnessed the birth of [Exotic Fire Fighting World] at the same time that day.
They attributed the book to the blessings of Heaven's favor.
"Hiss! The Flame Emperor in it actually transcended the Origin World, relying on devouring exotic flames to break free!"
"Origin? Is it a treasure in Exotic Fire Fighting World that helps one attain Dao?"
After reading Exotic Fire Fighting World, people drew in sharp breaths.
Bang!
Suddenly, another resounding boom rang out from among the Human Tribes, echoing through the highest heavens and shaking the land for thousands of miles around.
"Ha!"
"Supreme Pill Dao! It's an alchemical path that leads to the supreme realm!"
"So that's how it is! The art of alchemy is incredibly profound! Our Human Race is destined to rise!"
Shennong Shi burst into laughter, standing beneath the radiant light, the scent of medicinal herbs filling the air around him.
For so many years, the Human Race had been oppressed and humiliated for far too long!
He had spent his whole life searching for a great medicine that could make the Human Race strong and immortal.
Today, in a book, he had actually comprehended an immortal alchemical art comparable to the Golden Elixir Path of the Sage Laozi!
"Give me time, and I'll spread the art of alchemy throughout the world!"
"The day our Human Race seeks Dao and attains immortality, and rises to power, will surely come!"
Bang!
"Primordial Burning Art! I've comprehended it! Our Human Race has a Sage's cultivation method too!"
"Our Human Race is no weaker than the other races!"
The great Primordial Tribes of the Human Race—the Suiren Tribe, the Shennong Tribe, and others—were all undergoing transformation and ascension at that moment.
More and more members of the Human Race were comprehending the techniques in [Exotic Fire Fighting World].
The chance for the Human Race to rise was right before them. No one would let it slip by.
They didn't want the earlier scene of the Demon Race running rampant to happen again before their eyes.
The horror of blood like a sea and corpses piled like mountains was unforgettable. It left them trembling with fear and despair!
If they wanted to change things, they had to seize the opportunity!
As more and more members of the Human Race gained insights, great and small, from Exotic Fire Fighting World,
they finally noticed a name.
The author of [Exotic Fire Fighting World] went by the pen name Jiang Chen!
"Jiang Chen? I know him! He's a cultivator living on Shouyang Mountain, our race's Holy Land! He was once the person in our race closest to becoming an immortal!"
Someone recognized Jiang Chen and spread the news throughout the Human Tribes!
Everyone was stunned.
Could Exotic Fire Fighting World really not be a blessing from Heaven?
Was it instead a book that defied Heaven and changed fate, created by one of their own powerful cultivators, who couldn't bear to see the Human Race so weak?
"Exotic Fire Fighting World must be a great merit bestowed by Heaven, in recognition of Immortal Jiang Chen's stories clarifying the truth about the Human Race!"
"And Immortal Jiang Chen actually distributed that great merit among the entire Human Race! He let everyone benefit and set them on the path to strength!"
Someone guessed at the truth, and this explanation fit what they saw better than any other.
In an instant, they were stunned.
Suiren Shi returned from his tribulation and stood above his tribe. After devouring a trace of Red Lotus Karmic Fire from the Thunder Tribulation, he had surged all the way to the peak of the Earth Immortal realm!
He, too, had comprehended the profound meaning in Jiang Chen's book. He believed it was a great merit.
But Jiang Chen had shared that merit among the Human Race. Such a noble feat made Suiren Shi step forward and declare, "Fellow Daoist Jiang Chen has accomplished great merit and made a Great Vow, lighting the Kindling Fire to guide the Human Race forward! He is the true king of the Human Race! He may be called the Human Emperor!"
Shennong Shi stepped forward as well. Having comprehended the profound art of alchemy, he felt that merit of this magnitude must carry an immense karmic burden.
His thoughts matched Suiren Shi's exactly!
He turned to the Human Race of the Primordial Wilderness and proclaimed in a voice like thunder, "Fellow Daoist Jiang Chen has accomplished great merit and made a Great Vow! He will lead the Human Race forward! He is the true king of the Human Race! He may be called the Human Emperor!"
"Human Emperor! Human Emperor!"
"Human Emperor!"
"Human Emperor!"
For a moment, the land of the Human Race in the Primordial Wilderness trembled.
The news swept across the land like a roaring sea. Countless beings in the Primordial Wilderness felt its force!
The title Human Emperor seemed to hold a strange power, etching itself into the mind of every member of the Human Race!
Heavenly Dao responded, bestowing merit in recognition!
A beam of golden merit light descended upon Shouyang Mountain, the Human Race's Holy Land!
At that moment, several Sages in the Outer Heavens were stirred...
Jiang Chen sat in meditation on Shouyang Mountain for several days and nights.
Yet he found that he hadn't made the slightest progress.
That was only to be expected...
Which great power in the Primordial World didn't measure their seclusion in centuries?
But suddenly, Jiang Chen heard the system's notification in his ear.
"Ding! Ten thousand people from the Suiren Tribe read [Exotic Fire Fighting World] and gained ten thousand Reading Points!"
"Ding! Ten thousand people from the Shennong Tribe read [Exotic Fire Fighting World] and gained ten thousand Reading Points!"
"Ding! Ten thousand people from the Youchao Tribe read [Exotic Fire Fighting World] and gained ten thousand Reading Points!"
"..."
"Ding! Human Clan Suiren Shi comprehended the Primordial Burning Art and the third-ranked flame on the Exotic Flame Ranking, the World-Purifying Demonic Lotus Fire! Congratulations, host! You've received the following reward: Primordial Burning Art! World-Purifying Demonic Lotus Fire!"
"Ding! Human Clan Shennong Shi comprehended the art of alchemy and the Supreme Emperor Pill! Congratulations, host! You've received the following reward: Supreme Pill Dao! Supreme Emperor Pill!"
"Ding! Members of the Primordial Tribes comprehended the Primordial Burning Art. As you've already received the same reward, you can't obtain it again!"
"Ding..."
Jiang Chen was still bewildered. How had he suddenly gotten so many rewards...
Nearly a million Reading Points! That meant over a million beings in the Primordial Wilderness had already read [Exotic Fire Fighting World]!
Primordial Burning Art! World-Purifying Demonic Lotus Fire!
Supreme Pill Dao! Supreme Emperor Pill!
These were all settings from the [Exotic Fire Fighting World] he'd read?
Then Jiang Chen remembered the System Optimization of [Exotic Fire Fighting World]. So the system had forcibly elevated the book's settings to the level of the Primordial Plane!
Jiang Chen couldn't help smiling. In the month or so since transmigrating into the Primordial World, this was the happiest he'd been!
"So this is the power of the God-Tier Writer System?"
Only now did Jiang Chen realize just how heaven-defying the system in his hands was!
The novels he wrote could be optimized by the system and elevated into cultivation methods and treasures on the level of the Primordial Plane!
The original setting of Exotic Fire Fighting World was nothing compared to the Primordial World.
He'd worried that even if he obtained things from Exotic Fire Fighting World, they wouldn't make a ripple in the Primordial World. Now he realized he'd been worrying for nothing!
It was that awesome!
The original Burning Art had become the Primordial Burning Art. It didn't just devour exotic flames; it could also devour several of the Primordial World's Origin Fires!
It was practically a cheat!
All he had to do was write books. Then he could skip secluded cultivation, wait for others to comprehend them, and claim their rewards—before multiplying those rewards a hundredfold or even a thousandfold?
But...
The Human Race was innately weak, unlike the Witch and Demon Clans, who were favored by Heaven and Earth.
Of the countless members of the Human Race, only a handful of exceptionally gifted people had comprehended the essence of the book.
"I'll have to work harder and find a way to improve the Human Race's aptitude for cultivation. Whether they're Innate Humans or Acquired Humans, their cultivation constitution determines their potential ceiling. So my next book..."
Jiang Chen quickly settled on a famous work of Deification from his previous life.
