"Your humble servants pay their respects to the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother!"
Sitting on the throne in the Golden Palace, the Jade Emperor Haotian and the Queen Mother Yaochi looked down at the Heavenly Court Gods who were paying homage, and at the figures of the Gods who were spread throughout the Heavenly Court, and felt somewhat bewildered.
I've only just returned from the Purple Cloud Palace, how come I already have underlings coming to my door so soon?
Are all my senior brothers, the Sage, this efficient?
Once Haotian came to his senses, he immediately did some calculations in secret and realized that these Heavenly Court gods were all chosen from the barbaric Human Clan. His face turned completely green.
Since the last incident involving the Primordial Wilderness Grand Formation, the Wilderness has become a taboo within a taboo in the entire Primordial World, and even the Sage lineages have not dared to provoke it.
These Heavenly Court deities all originated from the barbaric Human Clan, so it goes without saying that this was the work of that forbidden being.
The thought that the forbidden man had reached into his own Heavenly Court filled Haotian with deep regret.
After all, that person was a formidable figure who dared to challenge Dao Ancestor Hongjun to a duel!
It's definitely not something a nobody like me can fight against. Even if I were killed by that person, I doubt that Dao Ancestor Hongjun would uphold justice for me.
If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have gone to the Dao Ancestor to complain. Now look what's happened; he's been tricked and will never be reincarnated.
It's important to know that these people were all genuine Investiture of the Gods, which is completely different from those who only had their primordial spirit left and were then shaped into divine bodies by the Investiture of the Gods of the Gods, or those who were directly promoted from mortals by the Investiture of the Gods of the Gods.
This means that he had little real power to restrain these Heavenly Court gods who came from the wilderness, even after he obtained the Investiture of the Gods and the accompanying God-Beating Whip.
What's the point of playing this game?!
Leaving aside Haotian Yaochi, who was filled with bitterness and regret, on the other side, Wang Hao Nuwa been extracted from Wa Huang Heaven, was sent flying backwards for an unknown distance in the Chaos Sea before finally stopping his retreat.
"That woman is ruthless!"
Grinning and rubbing his swollen face, Wang Hao couldn't help but complain about Nuwa's stinginess.
That woman was truly ruthless; she even used the Power of the Heavenly Dao. If he hadn't raised his cultivation level to the Heavenly Dao Realm over the years, he would probably have been blown to pieces in one strike.
"But it seems there's still a chance!"
With a quick glance, Wang Hao immediately began to plan how to further win over Nuwa.
Judging from Nuwa's previous reactions, although the challenge may be very difficult, it is not entirely hopeless.
After all, Nuwa was a woman!
"Let's go see my brother-in-law first!"
After cleaning the remaining Power of the Heavenly Dao from his facial injuries, Wang Hao thought for a moment and decided to go to the Fire Cloud Cave, the Human Race Holy Land, to meet the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
After all, in the upcoming Investiture of the Gods Immeasurable Tribulation, he would need to scheme against those five Sage, especially the Three Pure Ones who occupied most of the Human Clan's Fortune.
This forces them to return the Human Race Fortune that had been seized, Human Clan to become the true protagonists of heaven and earth.
This requires careful planning and, more importantly, the assistance of the eight ancient sages of the human Human Clan, namely the Three Sovereigns Five Emperors.
"Brother-in-law, open the door! It's your brother-in-law!"
Arriving at the entrance of Fire Cloud Cave, Wang Hao reached out and banged on the door.
"Why is that guy here?"
The Three Sovereigns Five Emperors, who were discussing and cultivating in the Fire Cloud Cave, were all taken aback. They then looked at each other, puzzled, and asked, "Which of you has become that guy's brother-in-law?"
"Don't look down on me. I don't have a sister; I only have an adopted daughter who married that boy."
The Yellow Emperor was the first to object, stating that he was Wang Hao's father-in-law, not a lowly brother-in- Mount Tai.
Then everyone's attention turned to Emperor Dayu. Among them, Emperor Dayu had the most dealings with that guy, and it seemed that Emperor Dayu really did have quite a few brothers and sisters back then.
Emperor Dayu was also filled with self-doubt. Could that guy have really harmed one of his sisters?
Filled with confusion, everyone appeared and welcomed Wang Hao in through the gate, after which the atmosphere became incredibly strange.
As soon as Wang Hao entered the Fire Cloud Cave, he warmly presented Fuxi with the many gifts he had brought, addressing him affectionately as "Brother-in-law."
"Wait a minute, let me catch my breath."
After a long while, Fuxi finally came to his senses. He stared intently at the hand that Wang Hao was holding, and seeing that he couldn't pull it out, he asked with a dark face, " King of Nine Li, I have no younger sister, nor any sworn sister or cousin. Is there some misunderstanding?"
"Brother-in-law, what are you saying? Isn't Nuwa your twin sister?"
Wang Hao shamelessly enlightened Fuxi, saying, "Master Hao I'm lusting after your sister's body, so why don't you become my brother-in-law? I promise you'll live a life of luxury."
As soon as he finished speaking, a Red Embroidered Ball, carrying unparalleled power, shattered the Void and slammed into Wang Hao.
It was Nuwa intervened!
The Heavenly Dao Sage of Primordial World Heavenly Dao possess extraordinary power. Anyone who utters Sage true name will be sensed. Nuwa, who was in Wa Huang Heaven just now, sensed Wang Hao's outrageous words and was so angry that she threw out her Red Embroidered Ball, intending to destroy this bastard for humanity.
"Brother-in-law, look, even Nuwa has sent us our token of love. Now you should be sure, right?"
He raised his hand and caught the Red Embroidered Ball that was thrown at him. With his strength at the Heavenly Dao Realm, he forcefully neutralized its power and designated it as a token of their love.
Last time at Wa Huang Heaven, he was caught off guard by Nuwa and suffered a hidden loss. This time, however, he was well-prepared and would not be harmed.
After all, Nuwa could only mobilize the Power of the Heavenly Dao, not a true Heavenly Dao Realm expert.
"..."
Looking at the Red Embroidered Ball in Wang Hao's hand, Fuxi's face darkened even more. If he weren't so self-disciplined, he probably would have slapped this bastard away.
Do you think we're blind?!
The power carried by that Red Embroidered Ball was enough to annihilate any cultivator at the Primordial Unity Realm; even if all eight emperors (the Three Sovereigns Five Emperors) were combined, they wouldn't be enough to destroy it.
You're saying this is a token of love?
So this is how you give your token of love?
" King of Nine Li, let's get down to business!"
After taking several deep breaths and suppressing the urge to kick the bastard away, Fuxi signaled to Wang Hao that he could state his purpose. If there was nothing important, he should get lost as soon as possible.
"Call me brother-in-law, or I won't talk about that important matter concerning the future of the Human Clan!"
Wang Hao was very dissatisfied with the unfamiliar title given to Fuxi and directly threatened him.
These threatening words made Fuxi's forehead veins bulge, and he almost couldn't resist kicking him.
How could such a bastard appear among their Human Clan?!
" Human Clan affairs are of utmost importance!"
The Yellow Emperor and others quickly advised Fuxi to prioritize the overall situation. Although this guy was a scoundrel, he had indeed done a lot for the Human Clan. Now that he had come to them, he must have something important to do.
"Brother-in-law, now we can talk business!"
After taking hundreds of deep breaths to calm himself down, Fuxi gritted his teeth and signaled that he could speak now.
Finally satisfied, Wang Hao's expression turned serious, and he got down to business.
"Brother-in-law, you must have heard about the Heavenly Court Flat Peach Banquet. Now, that incident has led to a new Immeasurable Tribulation — the Investiture of the Gods Immeasurable Tribulation!"
"How is that possible? The Witch-Demon Tribulation has only been over for a short time, how could a new Immeasurable Tribulation be arising?"
Fuxi's eyes widened in anger, his heart filled with trepidation.
He had personally experienced the Witch-Demon Tribulation and knew the terror of Immeasurable Tribulation.
The Witch-Demon Tribulation had only just ended, and Human Clan had only just gotten back on track. How could another Immeasurable Tribulation be coming so soon?
This isn't some kind of mystical art!
The faces of the Yellow Emperor, Emperor Dayu, and others were also very grim. They knew that the Human Clan was the chosen protagonist of heaven and earth, and if Immeasurable Tribulation were to occur, the Human Clan would be the first to suffer.
If Human Clan truly develops and becomes the protagonist of the world, there might still be a glimmer of hope. But now, Human Clan has only just gotten on the right track, and with its current resources, it is certain to perish in the face of Immeasurable Tribulation.
"Brother-in-law, there's no need to worry too much. The main target of this Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods Immeasurable Tribulation is the Three Pure Ones' lineage, specifically the Interception Sect of Lingbao Tianzun and the Chan Sect of Heavenly Venerable of Primordial Beginning."
Wang Hao offered words of comfort, indicating that there was no need to worry too much, as the main target of this Investiture of the Gods Immeasurable Tribulation was the Three Pure Ones lineage, not the Human Clan.
"Hmph! Those Sage won't be so honest; they'll definitely find a way to shift the Cause and Effect the Immeasurable Tribulation onto our Human Clan."
Shennong, the Earth Emperor, sneered, clearly knowing exactly what kind of people those five Sage were. He didn't believe for a second that those people would obediently withstand the Immeasurable Tribulation.
The others also agreed with Shennong's words, understanding that the Human Clan would definitely be drawn into this Immeasurable Tribulation.
Wang Hao was quite pleased with this. It seemed that those who could become the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were all wise people, and the other party's guess was correct.
According to the original trajectory of fate, during the Investiture of the Gods Immeasurable Tribulation, the Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect did indeed begin to take on a large number of disciples, transferring their own Immeasurable Tribulation Cause and Effect the calamity onto their disciples, allowing the disciples to pass through the Immeasurable Tribulation in their place, and even be listed on the Investiture of the Gods.
After the Investiture of the Gods Immeasurable Tribulation ended, the Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect were unharmed. As for the fact that the last few Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect converted to Buddhist Order, Wang Hao guessed that it was probably at the behest of the Heavenly Venerable of Primordial Beginning.
After all, Heavenly Venerable of Primordial Beginning was Sage, and he only had a dozen or so disciples. If he couldn't foresee that a disciple would betray him, he would never believe it even if he were beaten to death.
Moreover, those Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect who converted to Buddhist Order did indeed hold high positions and possess a large amount of the Buddhist Order's Fortune, which was tantamount to indirectly controlling a portion of the Buddhist Order's foundation.
Even the Three Thousand Guests of the mortal world that the Buddhist Order took away during the Investiture of the Gods Immeasurable Tribulation the Gods are highly suspicious, possibly the result of a secret deal between the Three Pure Ones and the two saints of Buddhist Order.
In addition, the Investiture of the Gods Investiture of the Gods Immeasurable Tribulation dealt a devastating blow to the last remaining Fortune of the Human Clan. Before the Investiture of the Gods Investiture of the Gods Immeasurable Tribulation, the Co-Lord of the Human Race was able to sit on equal footing with the Jade Emperor of Heavenly Court. Even Sage dared not directly plot against the Co-Lord of the Human Race.
However, after the Investiture of the Gods Immeasurable Tribulation, the Co-Lord of the Human Race no longer possessed such a foundation. He even had to worship the Jade Emperor of Heavenly Court, which lowered his prestige by several levels. In fact, even some Tom, Dick, or Harry could easily scheme against the Human Emperor.
"You need not worry about that. I have already planned this. The main reason I've come here is to ask you to prepare yourselves. I intend to use this Investiture of the Gods Immeasurable Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods to reclaim the Human Race Fortune from the Three Pure Ones, especially the Kongtong Seal, the most precious Human Race Fortune!"
As he spoke, Wang Hao's eyes gleamed. He had been planning this for a long time, and it was time to wrap things up.
The Fortune Supreme Treasure is related to the Fortune of the entire race. Without the Fortune Supreme Treasure, the Kongtong Seal, the Human Clan is far too passive, and they cannot even control the selection of the Three Sovereigns Five Emperors.
Therefore, the Kongtong Seal must be retrieved!
Once they retrieve the Kongtong Seal, they can seize the initiative and gradually reclaim the Fortune stolen from the Sage's lineage.
After all, the other party can only steal it, not occupy it openly and honestly; it cannot be brought to light, especially after losing the righteous cause of the Kongtong Seal.
"You mean the Sage will personally intervene?"
The most calculating Fuxi opened his eyes wide again, his face turning even uglier, clearly understanding the unspoken meaning in Wang Hao's words.
The faces of the Yellow Emperor and his companions darkened once more, realizing that things had escalated significantly.
It should be noted that although those Sage were only at the Primordial Unity Realm, they could mobilize the Power of the Heavenly Dao by virtue of their Sage status, making them equivalent to experts at the Heavenly Dao Realm.
When such a powerful being makes a move, the entire Primordial World land would likely be shattered.
