Primordial Era: I, the Human Emperor, Madly Write Books to Create Great Emperors

Throughout the entire Primordial World, even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun likely dared not imagine that one day, an ant could instantly possess the power of a Sage.

A Sage—truly an existence that remains undying and indestructible through countless kalpas.

Who could ascend to that realm through external force?

Thus, the price Jiang Chen paid was also rather severe.

"Could it really be that only the Human Race's Great Destiny can eliminate this?" Jiang Chen muttered in confusion.

But he quickly shook his head.

The Human Race's Great Destiny was the cornerstone of humanity's rise!

Only with that vast Human Race's Fortune could more humans emerge and grasp the essence from the texts.

Only then could he himself grow stronger.

"There will always be a way to resolve this. After all, these karmic forces have already been proven not impossible to eliminate."

Jiang Chen recalled the feedback from burying the human race three hundred years ago, which proved to him that even great karma could be dispelled.

"The new book is complete, but the great karma within me can't be cleansed for now. I'd better go take a look at the Great Wilderness."

Jiang Chen murmured to himself, then swept out from Shouyang Mountain, heading straight for the Great Wilderness within the Human Race's Forbidden Zone.

Meanwhile, in the Human Race Great Wilderness...

Houtu hovered a meter above the ground, drifting gracefully atop a small hill, watching with keen interest as another batch of over ten thousand human children toiled before her.

"Roar!!!"

"Ha!!!"

Young faces strained as they shouldered massive boulders, sweat pouring down.

"These human children are growing at an astonishing rate... If not for my Wu Clan being favored by heaven and earth, born as immortals in infancy, I fear we couldn't match the current human race's cultivation speed."

Houtu thought to herself.

Then she gazed toward Shouyang Mountain.

Over a hundred years had passed, and Jiang Chen still hadn't emerged from seclusion...

For over a hundred years, Houtu had spent every day recalling the three hundred years they had journeyed together.

Though Jiang Chen was weaker than her in strength, he had done something she had always wanted to accomplish.

As she mused, the tens of thousands of human children before her suddenly stopped their movements.

They stood frozen in place, motionless.

Even the supervising Earth Immortals were similarly stunned.

Not only that, but even Houtu was taken aback.

Because, in their minds, a book had just suddenly appeared!

"Hm? Who?" Houtu was highly alert. She sensed that this book in her mind had materialized out of thin air.

For something akin to an energy imprint to be transmitted unnoticed into a Quasi-Saint's mind—only a Sage could accomplish such a feat!

"Has a Sage crossed the Heavenly Chasm Great Abyss?" Houtu's pretty face tensed with unease.

She had seen the human race's bones piled into mountains.

She had witnessed rivers of blood!

From the innocent joy of the Primordial Tribe's children and elders to the ruins and ashes of devastation—every scene had been reenacted in her palm.

That experience was etched into her bones, yet it was also one she never wished to relive.

If a Sage had crossed the Heavenly Chasm Great Abyss...

No one in the Human Race's Forbidden Zone could stand against them!

If that Sage chose to strike at humanity, even she would have no power to resist.

"This energy imprint... seems to be a book?"

Worried, Houtu cautiously began to probe the book in her mind.

[A Leaf Covers the Sky]?

"What a domineering name... The Heavenly Dao is supreme—yet a single leaf can cover the sky?"

Was this the work of some Sage?

Did they not fear punishment from the Dao Ancestor Hongjun?

This was utter blasphemy!!

Swoosh!!

Just as Houtu was lost in thought, Jiang Chen arrived at the Great Wilderness.

The human beings who had been stunned a moment ago immediately knelt prostrate the moment they saw Jiang Chen.

He shouted, "We thank the Human Emperor for bestowing grace once more!"

"????" Houtu blinked her big eyes, staring at Jiang Chen with a bewildered expression.

Chapter 44: The Human Race Rejoices, Houtu Attains Enlightenment [Kneeling for Flowers and Tips]

"We thank the Human Emperor for bestowing grace once more!"

"We thank the Human Emperor for opening a new path for the Human Race!"

One by one, the Primordial Beings of the Human Race knelt down, their gazes fixed on a single target.

That was Jiang Chen.

A new book's birth—what changes would it bring to the Human Race? No being could predict it.

But!

A single new book could give billions of Human Race beings one more Path of Transcendence, a path to Attain Dao!

Thus, the value of that book was immeasurably precious.

Even if offered a Xiantian Supreme Treasure in exchange, the myriad beings of the Human Race would not agree!

For this was a path under the Human Dao, leading to the supreme, enabling transcendence and transformation, attaining the ultimate Dao.

Jiang Chen looked at the dense crowd of Human Race beings kneeling prostrate before him, and with immense Mana, he spread his voice to every corner.

His tone was serene yet majestic as he said, "The Human Race must strive tirelessly—never slack off!"

"We obey the Human Emperor's decree!"

Xuanyuan Shi and the others led the chorus of shouts.

Then, Chang Ge shouted to the tens of thousands of children in the Great Wilderness, "Those whose physical strength has broken through the Hundred Thousand Extreme Realm, sit cross-legged on the spot and comprehend the book's mysteries! Those whose physical strength has not yet reached the Hundred Thousand Extreme Realm, complete your body tempering first, then enter the Great Dao Library for new book comprehension!"

"Yes!!!"

All ten thousand children shouted in unison.

They had no objections.

The children whose physical strength had broken through the Hundred Thousand Extreme Realm were overjoyed and began sitting cross-legged on the spot.

Their souls sank into the Great Dao Library within their minds.

Inside were three books.

[Exotic Fire Fighting World], [Invincible Brat], and the new book [A Leaf Covers the Sky]!

The moment the new book was born, they had sensed its existence.

But they did not act rashly.

Now, the Human Race was almost united as one rope!

Their sole goal was to rise and grow stronger.

The paths explored by many predecessors—completing the physical extreme realm in youth before comprehending the book's mysteries—were also for the sake of the future.

Thus, no one violated this.

As for the children whose physical strength had not yet reached the Hundred Thousand Extreme Realm, envy showed on their faces, but no disappointment or regret.

They all wanted to become stronger; even if their talent fell short of the more outstanding ones, they did not wish to let their foundation lag too far behind.

The rise of the Human Race did not depend on any single individual!

The perfection of the Human Dao required the rise of the entire Human Race!

If the Human Race could not reach the level of the Primordial Beings, the Human Dao could never become as perfect and stable as the Heavenly Dao.

Then, Xuanyuan Shi, Suiren Shi, and the others approached Jiang Chen.

Their expressions were somewhat excited: "Human Emperor... we..."

"Go ahead... leave the children to me..." Jiang Chen saw the excitement and hope in their hearts.
