The original Su Daji would have been fine.

Ye Xuan had met Su Daji before, and she truly lived up to her reputation as the most beautiful woman of the Human Clan.

Although he had never truly seen Su Daji's face, Ye Xuan already knew quite a bit about her.

Whether in looks or figure, talent or charm, she was without equal in the world.

But Ye Xuan was now certain that Su Daji had been possessed by the Nine-Tailed Fox.

In other words, the one who had come to Chaoge was not Su Daji, but the Nine-Tails Demon Fox.

So I still couldn't escape the Nine-Tails Demon Fox storyline?

Ye Xuan did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Inwardly, he grumbled to himself.

I already mended my relationship with Empress Nuwa, yet she still sent the Nine-Tailed Fox here.

What on earth is Empress Nuwa thinking?

Ye Xuan could not help feeling a little annoyed.

He was tempted to go straight to Empress Nuwa and demand an explanation.

In the end, however, he held himself back.

He did not believe Nuwa was so foolish. Those Saints were clearly trying to trick her into being the first to enter the tribulation.

They wanted Nuwa to make the first move so she would take the blame for the immense karma of the Kalpa of the Investiture of the Gods.

He had already told Nuwa, and he refused to believe she was still willing to take the blame.

Under these circumstances, Nuwa probably had some other plan for sending the Nine-Tails Demon Fox to Chaoge.

At that thought, Ye Xuan shook his head helplessly.

In the end, he arranged for the Nine-Tails Demon Fox to enter the palace.

Once he had figured out how to deal with the demon fox, he would naturally face her.

Now was not the time.

The next day, great masses of auspicious clouds suddenly appeared above Chaoge City, the Human Race Holy Land.

The golden auspicious clouds blotted out the sky and sun, spreading over more than half of Chaoge City.

Everyone looked up, wondering where the auspicious clouds had come from.

Such a sight naturally drew the attention of many members of the Human Clan in Chaoge.

Numerous figures could be faintly seen amid the auspicious clouds filling the sky.

Most striking of all was an incomparably enormous golden dragon that appeared and vanished among the clouds.

Its sky-blotting body weaved in and out of the auspicious clouds.

Everyone turned pale with shock at the sight of that enormous figure.

A dragon had actually come to Chaoge?

Could it be that the Human Emperor's unguarded claim some time ago that he would subdue the Dragon Clan had brought retaliation from one of its experts?

Before the people of Chaoge could react, however, a tremendous voice rang out across heaven and earth:

"Dragon King Ao Guang of the East Sea has come to Chaoge by the Human Emperor's command to request an audience with the Human Emperor!!!"

At that moment, the thunderous voice spread throughout heaven and earth.

In the next instant, all of Chaoge erupted.

"Dragon King Ao Guang of the East Sea actually came to request an audience with the Human Emperor in obedience to his decree?"

"Could the Dragon King really have come to pledge his allegiance?"

"May the Human Emperor live ten thousand years without end! May the Human Emperor live ten thousand years without end!!!"

"Ever since Emperor Yu tamed the floods in ancient times, the Human Clan and the Dragon Clan have had nothing to do with each other. Yet now the Dragon King has come to request an audience upon receiving the Human Emperor's decree. Could the current Human Emperor possess abilities equal to those of the sages of old?"

At that moment, the people of Chaoge were overcome with excitement.

Sure enough, the current Human Emperor's reach extended to the heavens; he surpassed the sages of old rather than falling short of them.

Only a short time ago, he had rebuked heaven and earth, making them clear and bright again.

He had also declared that he would bring the Dragon Clan back into submission.

And now the Dragon Clan had indeed obeyed his summons, with the Dragon King himself coming to request an audience.

This brought them tremendous prestige.

Such a magnificent spectacle naturally left the people of Chaoge astounded.

Su Daji, whom Ye Xuan had settled in the harem, looked up at the sky.

Her beautiful eyes shimmered with brilliant light.

The Su Daji of today was no longer the same as before.

She was a fusion of the Fox Lord of Green Mound, the Nine-Tailed Fox, and Su Daji, the most beautiful woman of the Human Clan.

She possessed both the magical power and charm arts of the Fox Lord of Green Mound, the Nine-Tailed Fox, and the talent and wisdom of Su Daji of the Human Clan.

Seeing the Dragon King come to Chaoge, she naturally sensed something unusual about it.

"No wonder the Holy Mother wanted me to come to Chaoge and serve the Human Emperor. The current Human Emperor is indeed no ordinary man."

A strange light shone in Su Daji's beautiful eyes.

Both the Fox Lord of Green Mound, the Nine-Tailed Fox, and Su Daji of the Human Clan were intensely interested in the Human Emperor.

Now that the two had become one, that interest had naturally multiplied.

What Su Daji did not know was that Empress Nuwa had already concealed a trace of her will within her.

Its main purpose was to allow Nuwa to eavesdrop on the Human Emperor's thoughts when Su Daji drew close to him.

Now that the Dragon King had appeared in Chaoge, he naturally caught Empress Nuwa's attention as well.

In Wa Huang Palace in Heaven Beyond Heaven, Empress Nuwa was taken aback, a puzzled look appearing in her eyes.

Why did the Dragon King go to Chaoge?

Even he, a Saint, was somewhat puzzled.

Could that fellow the Human Emperor have done something unknown to others in such a short time?

Only a few days ago, the Human Emperor had said he would subdue the Dragon Clan.

And now the Dragon King had gone to Chaoge of his own accord to submit?

Moreover, judging by this golden dragon's bearing, he was unmistakably a True Dragon.

Had Dragon King Ao Guang of the East Sea shed his mortal nature and become a True Dragon?

Just how did that fellow do it?

Even Nuwa was somewhat perplexed.

Since the ancient Dragon-Han Calamity, the three ancient clans had fallen, leaving only false dragons, phantom phoenixes, and counterfeit qilins with traces of their bloodlines in the Primordial World.

After all, the three clans had committed boundless slaughter in ancient times, and they had yet to repay those sins.

Neither the many experts of the Primordial World nor the Heavenly Dao wished to see true bloodlines appear.

Over countless years, the Phoenix Clan and the Qilin Clan had fallen into utter ruin.

Only a very few remained, and even most of those had become mounts for various mighty beings.

The Dragon Clan was relatively better off, with greater numbers and the Four Seas as a place to recover and multiply, but their status was still exceedingly low.

They had even been reduced to food for many mighty beings, who took pleasure in eating dragons.

Even Empress Nuwa had eaten dragon before.

And yet, at this point in time, a member of the Dragon Clan had actually shed his mortal nature and become a True Dragon!

Nuwa was truly astonished.

Could the Dragon King's transformation into a True Dragon also have something to do with the Human Emperor?

Nuwa speculated to herself.

The Human Emperor had gone with her to Great Mount Sumeru in the west, and the Ancestral Dragon, who had been suppressed beneath the mountain for countless years, had escaped-

Even now, the Ancestral Dragon's corpse had not been found.

Dragon King Ao Guang of the East Sea had only just become a True Dragon when he immediately ran to Chaoge to request an audience with the Human Emperor-

All of it seemed inextricably linked to the Human Emperor!

Nuwa now felt a trace of excitement.

She seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.

The Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods was about to descend, and the heavenly secrets were in disarray. Even Saints found them difficult to divine.

That was also why Nuwa was so eager to approach the Human Emperor, hoping to overhear his thoughts and glimpse something of the future.

The Nine-Tailed Fox had yet to draw close to the Human Emperor, but Nuwa had already discovered something extraordinary. How could she not be excited?

The idea of using Nine-Tails to eavesdrop on the Human Emperor's thoughts might truly have been a wise move.

Just as Nuwa was rejoicing in Wa Huang Palace in Heaven Beyond Heaven,

The Human Emperor in Chaoge finally responded:
