Chapter 97 The Sage's Choice

Noble? Commoner? The Last Lesson?

Jin Bing silently let Di Jun's earnest teachings go in one ear and out the other, throwing them into the dustbin of history.

"Heavenly Emperor, you have grown old."

Kim Byung suddenly spoke up, interrupting Di Jun's well-intentioned lesson.

"Um?"

Di Jun was taken aback.

"Now that things have come to this, I won't hide it from you anymore."

Jin Bing seemed to have let go of some important knot in his heart, and said quite easily to the dazed Di Jun:

"In fact, the human race is the protagonist race appointed by Heaven, with even greater privileges than the witch race, who are children of Pangu..."

A few words.

Di Jun listened in a daze for a long time, as if he were living in a dream.

He looked up blankly, meeting Jin Bing's relieved eyes. He gradually understood, and anger rose in his own eyes:

"So...you lied to me?!"

"You selfish, greedy mudskipper! Do you know you will bring ruin to the world...?"

"Your Majesty, I know what you're going to say!"

Jin Bing interrupted him again, only sighing:

"In a sense, you and I are the same; neither of us wants any kind of naturally noble being, like a demon above demons, to ride on the heads of all living beings..."

"Pah! You're just after merit!"

The rage in Di Jun's eyes seemed to want to burn this little dragon to ashes:

"All beings are equal, and you will destroy them..."

"His Majesty!"

Jin Bing calmly met those blood-red eyes.

He said slowly:

"Further words are unnecessary; I... will prove it all!"

Having said that, Jin Bing ignored the furious Heavenly Emperor and turned to leave Yaochi.

Watching his retreating figure, the enraged Di Jun wanted to crush this audacious ant immediately, but...

As if sensing six ethereal gazes watching him subtly, Di Jun could only swallow his rage.

"fortunately……"

Glancing at the ruined Jade Pool, Di Jun, forced to calm down, sighed inexplicably:

Fortunately, when Dijiang broke through the forbidden area, I had told Xihe and the other two to quickly take their sons to Tanggu for refuge. Otherwise, if Dijiang Laodeng, who had suddenly become powerful, had broken in today, they might have been injured...

"Big brother, don't be happy! Come dig me out! I can't move!"

"Your Majesty! I've been punched in the chest and can't move!"

Seemingly sensing that no one else was around, two male voices, silent for a long time, cried out for help:

"That Dijiang is really weird. One punch from him felt like he turned me into an ordinary mortal!"

"I have no idea where my clock has flown off to! Big brother, please save me!"

Di Jun suddenly realized that he had a brother and a follower buried in the ruins, and he rushed forward to dig them out.

"Here it comes! Don't rush!"

……

[You turned and left the ruined Jade Pool. Upon seeing you emerge, the Great Luo Golden Immortals, under Xuandu's instructions, immediately shouted: "Now that the treacherous officials are dead and the vile creatures have been eliminated, we hope the Demon Emperor will obey Heaven and the people, and ascend to the throne soon!"]

【you:……】

[You bluntly stopped the process of becoming emperor that Xuandu had arranged for you, and amidst everyone's bewilderment, you solemnly informed them that Dijiang was on the run.]

[Regarding things like the Primordial Purple Qi, because it's too important, you didn't say it explicitly, only that Dijiang is plotting something bad, so we should find him as soon as possible!]

Although everyone didn't quite understand, upon hearing your explanation, they immediately put it into action. Over five hundred Great Luo Golden Immortals searched the Thirty-Three Heavens, attempting to find Di Jiang.

However, you didn't really expect a group of Great Luo Immortals to find a deliberately hidden Quasi-Saint, so you quickly contacted the eleven Ancestral Witches at the foot of Buzhou Mountain, told them about Dijiang seizing the Primordial Purple Qi, and used this as an opportunity to ask them: What kind of tricks is Dijiang capable of?

The ancestral witches exchanged bewildered glances. They couldn't understand why their eldest brother needed the purple aura. The witch clan couldn't cultivate immortality or achieve sainthood...

【etc!】

[Suddenly, Zhu Jiuyin remembered something, and his expression turned serious: "No need to look anymore, my elder brother isn't in the Thirty-Third Heaven at all, he's right here on Buzhou Mountain!"]

Upon hearing this, you were completely bewildered, but the other ancestral witches seemed to understand something, their faces showing surprise.

"Contact the Sage immediately!"

[Houtu's expression was urgent: Big Brother doesn't want to become a saint, he wants to...]

Just then, the earth trembled, and the celestial stars began to stray from their orbits, as if something were drawing them in.

Then, the ancient and immeasurable Mount Buzhou began to tremble slightly, as if some force was stirring it...

……

"Retreat immediately!!!"

Upon noticing that even Mount Buzhou was shaking, the Equal Heavenly Court immediately organized a large army to evacuate from the Thirty-Three Heavens and the Mount Buzhou area.

The turmoil spread outwards from Buzhou Mountain, reaching as far as the entire Central Plains!

"Withdraw from Zhongzhou immediately!"

The Demon Emperor Jin Bing felt the problem was getting more and more serious, so he ordered the army to withdraw from Zhongzhou. He then dispatched all the Great Luo Golden Immortals to relocate all the demons in Zhongzhou, making sure that Zhongzhou became a no-man's land!

After completing all these disaster prevention measures, a somewhat flustered Jin Bing asked the eleven ancestral witches again:

"What exactly is Dijiang trying to do?"

The wisest of them all, Zhu Jiuyin, shook his head:

"It's too late..."

Qiangliang also sighed:

"The stars have shifted, and the Zhou Dynasty is in turmoil..."

Why are they all riddle-solving people?!

Speechless, Jin Bing could only look towards Hou Tu, who was relatively more normal.

Seeing the little dragon looking at her, Houtu seemed to want to tell some ancient secret, but the words caught in her throat, and she only sighed:

"There's no use saying all this now... I can only hope that the Sage is truly invincible, otherwise, the primordial world may be in danger of collapse!"

The more I talk, the more confused I get!

Jin Bing shook his head, but unlike the ancestral witches, he was not anxious.

Because the Six Sages have always been paying attention to everything around them, if Dijiang could really pull off something extraordinary that is beyond the control of the Sages, they would have already nipped it in the bud.

The fact that the Six Saints have remained silent so far indicates that the situation is not as bad as the Ancestral Witches thought!

This is absolute trust after witnessing the saint's great power firsthand. The ancestral witches, on the other hand, had never actually seen the saint's power. In fact, in their previous life, they even dared to set up the Great Array of Heavenly Gods and Demons in an attempt to kill the Holy Emperor.

This is the confidence that comes with an information advantage...

"Let me tell you!"

Xuanming seemed unable to bear his confusion, and suddenly took the initiative to explain to him:

"We twelve are direct descendants born directly from the essence and blood of Father Pangu. In essence, we are half the masters of the primordial world, while the Heavenly Dao is like a steward."

"The Primordial Purple Qi is essentially a manifestation of the power of the Heavenly Dao. Although we cannot become saints through it, as long as we can prove that we have reached adulthood, we can use it as a key to find the Heavenly Dao and inherit the legacy of our Father God..."

Xuanming looked at Jin Bing, who was completely dumbfounded, and said with a smirk:

"Although the Ancestral Witches don't have a concept of 'adulthood,' our eldest brother possesses our essence and blood, so his power will be extremely strong for a short period, which just meets the standard for 'adulthood.' Now, with the Primordial Purple Qi as a 'key,' he's probably already asking the Heavenly Dao to inherit his 'legacy'..."

Jin Bing forced himself to compose himself and asked dryly:

"Did Pangu... also have his own legacy?"

"no."

Houtu picked up the conversation:

"However, the primordial world itself can be considered a legacy..."

"Mount Buzhou is the spine of the Father God, the earth is the body of the Father God, the sun and moon are the eyes of the Father God, the stars are the hair of the Father God, the rivers, seas and lakes are the blood of the Father God, and the Gengjin ore vein is the sinews and bones of the Father God..."

"As the successor, my elder brother will obtain and integrate all of this through the Heavenly Dao... until he becomes the second Pangu..."

Xuanming cursed without any politeness:

"He's gone mad!"

Kim Byung heard this "inheritance theory" for the first time, and it did make some sense.

The master's son has come of age and wants to inherit the estate, and he makes a phone call to the butler, Tiandao...

But will the housekeeper allow it?

Jin Bing couldn't help but look up:

The celestial sphere was in disarray, with the sun and moon both hanging in the sky, their interplay resembling a pair of eyes.

Are these the master's eyes or the butler's eyes?

Will that grand will truly leave an inheritance?

"Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs."

Jin Bing muttered to himself:

"From the perspective of the Way of Heaven, there is nothing wrong with it; He does not care about any of this."

"But...those who observe the ways of Heaven and act in accordance with them will surely stand up and make choices for the Way of Heaven, just like...myself..."

Whenever I hesitate or feel helpless, another "self" will make choices and strategies for me.

Although many of these choices were wrong, causing me to die countless times, which can be described as extremely frustrating, my chances are unlimited. I can try and fail indefinitely until I make all the right choices!

The same principle should apply to the primordial era:

When a steward makes no choice, or makes the wrong choice, his subordinates will certainly help him make the correct and advantageous choice...

What did they choose?

"This is……"

Suddenly, the group of riddle-solving ancestral witches exclaimed in unison, and eleven pairs of eyes looked over with surprise and curiosity, all staring at the little dragon.

Jin Bing suddenly discovered that six magical treasures with profound and mysterious energy had appeared out of thin air in front of him:

A picture, a ruyi (a traditional Chinese scepter), a sword, an embroidered ball, a pestle, and a small tree.

A familiar, aged voice rang in Jin Bing's ears:

"Take Dijiang's head as a sacrifice for your ascension to the throne of the Heavenly Emperor."

"Yes, Master!"
