Hong Huang: I am Kong Xuan, the first person above the saints

Chapter 308 Nine Cauldrons
Kong Xuan covered his throbbing forehead, the strange sensation of transcendence still lingering on his fingertips. The scene that had just crossed time and space kept flashing through his mind—the shattered fragments of primordial chaos, the chaotic world that was born and then vanished, each scene overturning his understanding of the primordial world.

He suppressed the shock in his heart and turned his gaze back to the purple aura. This time, he deliberately calmed his mind and dared not easily touch that power that transcended time and space.

"So the system never really existed. The so-called system was just a disguise for the power of transcendence," Kong Xuan realized.

The moment Kong Xuan finished speaking, the Dragon Cauldron inside his body suddenly flew out, followed by a figure that flew out of the Dragon Cauldron and crashed straight into Kong Xuan.

"what?"

Huang Tian was startled. When he obtained the Dragon Cauldron, he was certain that there was nothing inside it. He wanted to attack, but instinctively stopped himself.

"master……"

Accompanied by a somewhat familiar voice, Kong Xuan subconsciously opened his arms and embraced a little girl.

"you are?"

Kong Xuan looked at the little girl in his arms, somewhat puzzled. He was certain he had never seen her before, but the little girl gave him a sense of familiarity.

"Master, it's me, Xiao Jin, you...you won't..."

The little girl seemed to remember something and swallowed back what she was about to say.

"Xiao Jin..."

Kong Xuan scanned the girl's body with his divine sense and suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Your true form is a koi fish."

Koi fish are not uncommon in the prehistoric world, but Kong Xuan noticed something different about the little girl.

He saw a trace of the origin of the Great Dao of Fortune in the little girl, which he only saw by using the power of transcendence.

In the beginning of chaos, the Great Dao gave birth to three thousand Great Dao origins, and these three thousand Great Dao origins in turn gave birth to three thousand Chaos Gods.

It can be said that the origin of the Great Dao is unique to the Chaos Demon God.

The little girl in front of me was clearly a primordial being, and there was no power related to the Chaos God in her body, but the origin of the Great Dao of Destiny was indeed there.

"Who exactly are you?" Kong Xuan asked, staring at the little girl.

Upon hearing this, the little girl looked conflicted. After a few breaths, she finally spoke, "Master, I cannot say."

"Can't I say?" Kong Xuan frowned.

“Yes, that was the master’s own order,” the little girl said.

"My orders?"

Kong Xuan's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. He had been observing the little girl's reactions and soul fluctuations to confirm that she was not lying.

"Then what should I do?" Kong Xuan asked.

"We have found the Nine Cauldrons."

This time, the little girl gave an affirmative answer.

"The Nine Cauldrons are divided into the Dragon Cauldron, Phoenix Cauldron, Qilin Cauldron, Witch Cauldron, Demon Cauldron, Monster Cauldron, Immortal Cauldron, and Human Cauldron," the little girl said.

"Why are there only eight of the Nine Cauldrons?" Kong Xuan asked in confusion.

"There is one more cauldron that I don't know what it's called, but if you collect all eight cauldrons, you will naturally be able to sense the ninth one."

"Alright, then let's gather all eight tripods first."

Kong Xuan had a premonition that once he had collected all nine tripods, he might be able to know everything he wanted to know.

“Master, shall we set off now?” the little girl said. “No rush.”

Kong Xuan waved his hand and said, "I have already promised Suirenshi and the others that I will become the new human king. It is not too late to set off after I become the human king and stabilize the human race."

Upon hearing this, the koi nodded and said nothing more.

Time flows slowly by, and a century has passed in the blink of an eye.

A hundred years is but a fleeting moment in the primordial world, yet it was enough for the human race to develop steadily under Kong Xuan's protection.

After all, a hundred years ago, many powerful figures invaded the human race, and Huang Tian went on a killing spree, with more than one powerful figure at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal falling.

The other races around them both respected and feared the humans, and dared not provoke them again.

Therefore, although it has only been a short hundred years, the fortune of the human race has been growing rapidly during these hundred years.

At this moment, the altar in front of the statue of Nuwa has been completely renovated. The blue stone steps are engraved with the process of human reproduction and growth. Each picture is a portrayal of human history. The jade tablet of the human king at the top of the altar emits a warm white light, echoing the human fortune gathering in the air.

Suirenshi stood in the center of the altar, his gaze sweeping over the hundreds of millions of his people, his voice booming like a bell: "Today, we respectfully welcome the ascension of our human race's new king!"

Suirenshi's voice, carrying the destiny of the human race, echoed throughout the heavens and earth. Hundreds of millions of people bowed down and knelt in worship towards the altar. Their shouts shook the birds and beasts of the surrounding mountains and forests, causing them to scatter and flee: "Welcome the Human King!"

Kong Xuan, dressed in a black royal robe with golden human totems embroidered on the hem, slowly walked up to the altar.

With each step he took, a strange emotion arose in Kong Xuan's heart. After all, he was also a human in his previous life, and now, having transmigrated to the prehistoric world, he had actually become the ruler of the human race.

He felt his blood boiling and his soul ascending.

The power of transcendence within him became more active than ever before.

As Kong Xuan stepped onto the last step of the altar, the Jade Tablet of the Human King, which had been floating, flew towards him. Its body blazed with white light, enveloping him—in that instant, countless images flashed through his mind:
The faint light of fire made by the ancestors of humankind, the near-death experiences fighting against monsters, the tenacity to survive in the cracks of the primordial wilderness... These memories, which did not belong to him, brought tears to his eyes.

"This is... the inherited memory of the human race?"

Kong Xuan was shaken. At that moment, he vaguely saw the phantoms of hundreds of millions of his people bowing to him.

Upon seeing this, Suirenshi immediately bowed and said, "The Human King has activated the destiny of the human race. This is a blessing for our race! Please, Human King, hold up the jade tablet and proclaim this to Heaven and Earth!"

Kong Xuan raised his hand and grasped the jade tablet; the warm touch from his fingertips seemed to connect with the heartbeat of every member of his clan.

He took a deep breath, his voice carrying transcendent power and the destiny of humanity, resounding throughout the vast expanse of space:

"I, Kong Xuan, today inherit the throne of the human race! From this day forward, I will punish those who have wronged my people; and I will treat kindly those who protect my people..."

At this moment, outside the human territory, Laozi looked towards the direction of the human holy land, his face extremely grim, and finally sighed helplessly:

"Where exactly did things go wrong? Where did this Kong Xuan come from? His appearance has disrupted all my plans."

If it weren't for Kong Xuan's appearance, perhaps everything would have developed according to his plan. He would now be preaching among the human race, and then he would be proving himself a saint.

But Kong Xuan's appearance completely ruined his plans.

Lao Tzu had considered getting rid of Kong Xuan completely, but whenever the thought crossed his mind, he felt inexplicably afraid.

It seemed as if a voice inside him was telling him that doing this was dangerous. Lao Tzu also thought that this was just his imagination, but he found that he really couldn't see through Kong Xuan.

"Kong Xuan, this name sounds so familiar. Have some of my memories been erased?"

A flicker of fear crossed Laozi's eyes, for what could erase his memories silently must be an incredibly terrifying being.
