Primordial Era: I, Tongtian, will slay all enemies!

Chapter 87 Entering the Small World

A hundred years later, at Jinji Ridge.

The World Tree is like a majestic golden tower, with lush foliage that blocks out the sky and supports a mysterious firmament.

The golden leaves swayed gently in the breeze, making a rustling sound. Sunlight filtered through the layers of branches and leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground and adding a touch of color to the land.

Emperor Xin, along with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, stood proudly atop a massive spirit ship, followed closely by hundreds of other spirit ships.

The spirit boats resembled steel fortresses, exuding an aura of majesty. The gazes of the people were firm, and their hearts were filled with a desire for victory.

When they arrived at Golden Rooster Ridge, they shouted in unison, "Humanity will prevail! Humanity will prevail!" The sound was as deafening as thunder, soaring into the sky, and its momentum was so powerful that it seemed to shatter heaven and earth.

Every face was filled with determination and resolve. They knew that this battle concerned the future of humanity, and they had to give it their all.

At the same time, Yuanshi arrived gracefully, accompanied by Randeng, Antarctic Immortal, and Guangchengzi. Their expressions were full of arrogance and disdain, regarding the human race as nothing more than ants.

Their eyes were cold and arrogant, showing no regard for the human race. Their superior attitude stirred up anger in everyone's hearts.

Haotian, along with Jieyin and Zhunti, also arrived leisurely. The moment the four forces met, a strong, suffocating smell of gunpowder filled the air.

The air seemed to freeze, the tense atmosphere making everyone's heart race involuntarily. Everyone looked at each other warily, their eyes filled with vigilance and hostility, as if a fierce battle could break out at any moment.

Fifteen minutes later, Hongjun, Tongtian, and Houtu appeared.

Tongtian stepped forward. "This time, each side will fight their own battle, and only one side can emerge victorious. Within the small world, all factions may be formed, and outsiders are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the small world!" His words were filled with authority and determination, leaving no room for disobedience.

Houtu stepped forward, and with a wave of her hand, the phantom of the Six Paths of Reincarnation appeared behind her.

Immediately afterwards, a spatial wormhole with a diameter of one kilometer appeared in front of her. "The small world has been formed; those who enter will face life or death!"

Zhunti, Yuanshi, and Haotian entered the small world in turn. Just as Di Xin and the others were about to enter, they were stopped by Hongjun.

"Your Majesty, wait!" Hongjun's voice carried a hint of authority and doubt.

"What does Dao Ancestor mean by this? Does he intend to eliminate me outside the small world?" Di Xin's eyes were filled with vigilance and anger. He gripped the Xuanyuan Sword tightly, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.

Tongtian, Nuwa, Houtu, and Laozi immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Di Xin.

"Fellow Daoist Hongjun, what are you doing? Are you going to break your promise?!" Nuwa's voice was filled with anger and disappointment, and her master-disciple relationship with Hongjun immediately became precarious.

Hongjun shook his head. "Fellow Daoists, you've misunderstood. In the struggle between the human race and Yuanshi for the position of Heavenly Emperor, Yuanshi only used his own power, while the Human King brought various races such as dragons, phoenixes, and foxes. Are all these races human? Could it be that the human race has no one left to use?" His words carried a hint of sarcasm and doubt, which stirred up a surge of anger in everyone's hearts.

"Hongjun, you've gone too far! All these races are dependent on the human race, so what's wrong with them fighting for the human race!" Nuwa no longer cared about her master-disciple relationship with Hongjun and directly rebuked him angrily.

The atmosphere between the two sides grew increasingly tense, with the air thick with tension, as if a fierce battle could erupt at any moment.

At this moment, Emperor Xin stepped forward and said, "The Dragon and Phoenix races can choose not to participate in this battle, as can Xiangwei and others. However, the great sages of Huoyun Cave, who are the ancestors of the human race, can go together. The Xuan Bird descended to give birth to the Shang Dynasty, and Kong Xuan has guarded the human race for many years; he can also go. The Holy Mother of Wudang is the Emperor's tutor and can go. This is my greatest concession!"

"Agreed!" Hongjun's answer was concise and decisive, as if he did not want the situation to become more tense in this conflict.

Subsequently, hundreds of human spirit ships filed into the small world, and the four forces were dispersed to four directions, like four stars about to collide, full of unknowns and dangers.

Yuanshi, Zhunti, and Haotian quickly met up at one place.

"Junior Brother Haotian, Junior Brother Zhunti and I have discussed this. First, your Heavenly Court will test the waters, and then the two of us will lead a large army to press forward. At that time, the position of Heavenly Court will belong to our Chan Sect. What do you say?" Yuanshi's eyes were full of calculation and ambition, as if he could already see the moment when he ascended to the position of Heavenly Emperor.

Upon hearing this, Zhunti was immediately displeased. "Senior brother, this plan is ingenious, but our West is barren. You should give the position of Heavenly Emperor to your junior brother!" His eyes were filled with greed and desire. As long as he successfully seized the Heavenly Court, the West would surely prosper, and the Western religion would surely flourish.

"Hmph, your Western Sect doesn't even have a single disciple, how can you compare to my Chan Sect's True Immortal of Fortune and Virtue!" Yuanshi's words were full of sarcasm and disdain; he didn't take Zhunti seriously at all.

"You..." Zhunti's face turned red with anger, his eyes filled with rage and resentment.

Upon hearing this, Haotian quickly tried to smooth things over, "Senior brothers, don't be hasty. Let's first eliminate Di Xin's side. Then, I will act as the referee, and the two of you will fight one-on-one. Whoever wins will be the Emperor of Heaven." A cunning glint flashed in his eyes as he plotted his own scheme.

After hearing Haotian's words, the anger in their hearts subsided considerably. Although they still disliked each other, this was the best solution at the moment, and they couldn't afford to waste their energy on internal conflicts.

Seeing that the two had calmed down and agreed to his proposal, Haotian laughed wickedly to himself, "You two fools! Fortunately, the people I brought this time were all two-faced scoundrels. You two pieces of trash think you can become Heavenly Emperor? What a pipe dream!"

While the three of them were talking, General Rolling Curtain sneaked around the human race's main spirit ship. Before he could even board the ship, he was captured by the Shadow Guards and brought before Emperor Xin.

"Your Majesty, we have captured a Heavenly Court spy. Please deal with him/her!" The Shadow Guard's voice was full of vigilance and seriousness.

Di Xin looked at the general with a full beard, wearing dark black armor, and with a crescent shovel at his feet, and asked, "Did Haotian send you?" His eyes were full of doubt and anger, as if he had already seen through Haotian's conspiracy.

"Reporting to Your Majesty... His Majesty... His Majesty has already..." the Curtain-Rolling General stammered, taking a full half minute to finish his sentence.

Di Xin, who was listening from the side, became a little impatient and said, "Are you trying to say that Haotian, Yuanshi, and Zhunti have already gathered and are preparing to attack?"

Upon hearing Di Xin's words, Juanlian smiled with relief and nodded repeatedly, "Yes...yes! Your Majesty is wise..."

Di Xin rolled his eyes and waved his hand impatiently, "I know, you can leave!"

Then, Di Xin approached Fu Xi and said, "We will serve as bait; I urge the Emperor and all the sages to disembark and ambush us!"

Fuxi and the others rested their hands on their chins, pondering for a moment. "And what about your safety? Wen Zhong, Bi Qian, and the others alone probably can't protect you! You're facing two sages!"

Di Xin remained unmoved, instead smiling confidently as he took out the Kongtong Seal and unleashed his mid-stage Quasi-Saint cultivation.

"You...your cultivation level?" Fuxi was astonished. According to his analysis, Di Xin's actual cultivation level was at most the Great Luo Golden Immortal Perfection. In just a hundred years, he was able to advance from the Great Luo Golden Immortal to the Quasi-Saint Perfection.

"During these past hundred years, my master has aided my cultivation with the laws of time. Therefore, although it has been a hundred years, I have actually cultivated for over a thousand years. In addition, with the blessing of the human race's fortune and Haotian acting as an inside agent, the chances of the human race winning will be unprecedentedly high!"

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors nodded and led everyone from Fire Cloud Cave off the ship, hiding in the surrounding area.

Suddenly, a wave of oppressive power emanated from the front of the Great Shang Spirit Ship, with Heavenly Court soldiers and countless puppets surrounding Haotian, Yuanshi, and Zhunti.
