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

"Exotic Fire Fighting World! Truly terrifying beyond words! It actually records the method to transcend and attain Dao!"

The vastness of the Primordial Era was immeasurable, stretching beyond sight to the horizon.

Within the human Primordial Tribes, countless humans witnessed the birth of [Exotic Fire Fighting World] on the same day, at the same moment.

They attributed this book to the grace of the Heavenly Dao.

"Hiss! The Flame Emperor inside actually transcended the origin world, relying on devouring exotic fire to break through directly!"

"Origin? Is that the treasure for attaining Dao in Exotic Fire Fighting World?"

Some finished reading Exotic Fire Fighting World and drew in sharp breaths of cold air.

Bang!

Suddenly, within the human tribes, another violent sound pierced the nine heavens, shaking the land for thousands of miles around.

"Ha!"

"Supreme Pill Dao! It's the alchemy path to the supreme realm!"

"So that's it—the way of alchemy is this profound! The human race shall rise!"

Shennong Shi laughed aloud, standing beneath radiant light, the scent of herbs thick around him.

How many years had it been? The human race had been oppressed and humiliated for far too long!

He had spent his entire life searching for a great medicine that could make humanity strong and grant immortality.

Today, in a single book, he had comprehended an alchemical immortal method rivaling the golden pill Dao of the Sage Laozi!

"Give me time, and I will spread the alchemy lineage across the mortal world!"

"The day when humanity seeks the Dao of longevity and rises will surely come!"

Bang!

"Primordial Burning Art! I have grasped it! Our human race also has a Sage's method!"

"We humans are no weaker than other races!"

Across the various human Primordial Tribes, clans like Suiren Shi and Shennong Shi were all undergoing transformation and ascension at this moment.

More and more humans were comprehending the methods within [Exotic Fire Fighting World].

The opportunity for humanity to rise was right before their eyes, and no one would let it slip easily.

They did not want the scene of the Demon Race's rampage to repeat before their eyes again.

That bloody sea of flesh and mountains of bones was too vivid a memory, chilling to the bone and stirring despair!

To change that, they had to seize the chance!

And as more and more humans gained insights great and small through 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 in our Holy Land! Once the human closest to an immortal among our race!"

Someone recognized Jiang Chen's identity and spread the word through the human tribes!

The people were stunned.

Was Exotic Fire Fighting World not a blessing from the Heavenly Dao after all?

Was it a scripture to Defy Heaven and Change Fate, created by a strong human who, moved by the race's decline, wrote it to inspire self-reliance?

"Exotic Fire Fighting World must be a great merit bestowed by the Heavenly Dao, moved by Immortal Jiang Chen's use of story to illuminate the truth of humanity's plight!"

"And Immortal Jiang Chen divided that great merit among all humans, benefiting the race and setting them on the path to strength!"

Someone guessed at an answer, and it was the version that best fit the current situation.

For a moment, they stood frozen.

Suiren Shi, having weathered his tribulation, stood above the tribe. Now, after devouring strands of Red Lotus Karmic Fire from the lightning tribulation, he had surged to the peak of Earth Immortal realm!

In an instant, he too comprehended the profound meaning from Jiang Chen's book and recognized it as a great merit.

Yet Jiang Chen had distributed that merit among all humans. Such a feat moved him to step forward and declare, "Daoist Jiang Chen has created great merit and established a Great Vow, lighting the torch for humanity's advance! He is the true king of the human race—worthy of the title Human Emperor!"

Shennong Shi also stepped forward. Having grasped the profundity of the alchemy path, he felt that merit of this level must carry immense karmic weight.

His thoughts aligned perfectly with Suiren Shi's!

He too faced the humans of the Primordial Era, his voice like thunder: "Daoist Jiang Chen has created great merit and established a Great Vow! He leads humanity forward! He is the true king of the human race—worthy of the title Human Emperor!"

"Human Emperor! Human Emperor!!"

"Human Emperor!"

"Human Emperor!"

In that moment, the land of the Primordial human race trembled.

Like mountains roaring and seas surging, when the news spread everywhere, countless living beings across the Primordial Era felt it in their hearts.

The two words "Human Emperor" seemed to possess a strange magic, branding themselves into the minds of every human!

The Heavenly Dao felt it and actually bestowed its approval in the form of Heavenly Dao merit!

A beam of golden merit light plunged into the human Holy Land, Shouyang Mountain!

In an instant, the several Sages dwelling in the Outer Heavens were all stirred awake...

Jiang Chen sat cross-legged on Shouyang Mountain for days and nights on end.

Yet he found himself making not a single shred of progress.

This was only to be expected...

In the Primordial World, which great power ever went into seclusion counting time in anything less than millennia?

But suddenly, Jiang Chen heard the system's chime at his ear.

"Ding! Ten thousand members of the Suiren Tribe have read [Exotic Fire Fighting World]. Gained ten thousand reading points!"

"Ding! Ten thousand members of the Shennong Tribe have read [Exotic Fire Fighting World]. Gained ten thousand reading points!"

"Ding! Ten thousand members of the Youchao Tribe have read [Exotic Fire Fighting World]. Gained ten thousand reading points!"

"..." "Ding! Suiren of the human race has comprehended the Primordial Burning Art! Comprehended the third-ranked Exotic Flame, the World-Purifying Demonic Lotus Fire! Congratulations, host, on receiving feedback reward: Primordial Burning Art! World-Purifying Demonic Lotus Fire!"

"Ding! Shennong of the human race has comprehended the Way of Pill Refining! Comprehended the Supreme Emperor Pill! Congratulations, host, on receiving feedback reward: Supreme Pill Dao! Supreme Emperor Pill!"

"Ding! Primitive Tribe Humans have comprehended the Primordial Burning Art. As the host has already obtained the same feedback, it cannot be acquired again!"

"Ding..."

Jiang Chen was still dumbfounded—how had so many rewards suddenly piled up?

Nearly a million reading points! That meant over a million Primordial Beings had already read [Exotic Fire Fighting World]!

The Primordial Burning Art! The World-Purifying Demonic Lotus Fire!

The Supreme Pill Dao! The Supreme Emperor Pill!

Were these the settings from the [Exotic Fire Fighting World] he'd read?

Then Jiang Chen remembered the system's optimization of [Exotic Fire Fighting World]—it had forcibly elevated the settings within to the Primordial World level!

Jiang Chen rarely cracked a smile; in the month since he'd crossed into the Primordial World, today was the happiest!

"So this is the power of the God-Tier Writer System?"

In that moment, Jiang Chen truly realized just how heaven-defying the system in his hands was!

The novels he wrote could, through the system's optimization, be elevated to Primordial World-level techniques and treasures!

After all, the original Primordial World tier was enough to obliterate the settings of [Exotic Fire Fighting World].

He'd worried before that even if he obtained something from Exotic Fire Fighting World, it wouldn't even stir a ripple in the Primordial World. Now that he thought about it, he'd been overthinking it!

Being awesome was all that mattered!

The original Burning Art had become the Primordial Burning Art, not only devouring exotic flames but also capable of swallowing several of the Primordial World's Origin Fires whole!

This was practically a bug!

As long as he wrote books, he wouldn't even need to go into seclusion to cultivate—he could just wait for others to comprehend things, then cash in the rewards and amplify them a hundredfold or a thousandfold?

But...

The human race was innately frail, nothing like the Witch and Demon Clans, favored by heaven and earth.

Among the billions upon billions of humans in the mortal world, only a few outstanding geniuses had grasped the essence of the book.

"I need to step it up and try to change the human race's aptitude for cultivation. Whether it's the Innate Human Race or the Acquired Humans, cultivation physique means their ceiling won't be high. So for the next book..."

Jiang Chen quickly locked his gaze onto a Work of Deification from his past life.
