Primordial Era: Becoming the Great Emperor of Humanity from the Start

Chapter 177 A Heaven-Opening Strike!

In the Chaos Sea, the Primordial Celestial Venerable stared at Jiang Heng with an unfriendly expression, a hint of hesitation flashing across his face before his expression hardened.

"Human Emperor, I wasn't originally planning to use this move, but you've gone too far. I'm going to teach you a lesson no matter what."

"Only in this way can you know that I, Yuanshi Tianzun, am not so easily bullied!" Yuanshi Tianzun said in a deep voice.

Before engaging in combat with Jiang Heng, Yuanshi Tianzun never imagined that he would be forced to such an extent by the Human Emperor before him.

This caused the usually dignified and imposing Yuanshi Tianzun to lose face completely, and one can only imagine how angry he was.

That is why the Primordial Celestial Venerable decided that, even if it meant disregarding the consequences, he had to teach this Human Emperor a lesson.

"Oh? I'm really looking forward to seeing what the Primordial Sage will do next, otherwise, this battle would be too boring!" Jiang Heng said.

For Jiang Heng, the battle with Yuanshi Tianzun was not merely about helping the human race overcome the calamity of the Investiture of the Gods.

Jiang Heng had long known that his opponent was never Yuanshi Tianzun, but the far more terrifying Heavenly Dao and Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Compared to the Heavenly Dao and Dao Ancestor Hongjun, even if Yuanshi Tianzun is very powerful, he is still far from being a match for them.

The battle against Yuanshi Tianzun was Jiang Heng's last act of preparation. The more Yuanshi Tianzun revealed, the more advantageous it would be for Jiang Heng.

If Jiang Heng could obtain what he desired from Yuanshi Tianzun, he might be able to climb another step higher in his current realm.

Yuanshi Tianzun is one of the Three Pure Ones, possessing the legacy of the great god Pangu. His foundation is far superior to that of the two saints of the Western Paradise.

However, in the exchange just now, Jiang Heng only saw the power of the Pangu Banner, but did not see anything worthwhile about the Primordial Heavenly Lord.

At this moment, after hearing what Yuanshi Tianzun had just said, Jiang Heng felt a faint sense of anticipation.

Just as Jiang Heng was pondering, the holy light descended from the body of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, instantly restoring his saintly Dharma form to its original state, and his own aura began to grow stronger.

Compared to the two Western Saints, the Primordial Celestial Venerable's foundation is indeed much deeper. His method of restoring his strength alone is far superior to that of the two Western Saints.

Suddenly, Jiang Heng sensed a familiar aura from Yuanshi Tianzun, a unique and profound aura associated with the Creation Mark.

Jiang Heng not only obtained the incomplete Creation Mark from the obsession of the Great Dao Demon God, but the Taiqing Sage even gave Jiang Heng his own Creation Mark.

Jiang Heng himself had studied the Creation Mark for many years, which is why he was so familiar with its aura.

Jiang Heng became even more eager to see the Creation Mark that Yuanshi Tianzun possessed, even before his battle with him.

Only by drawing inferences from one instance can one gain a comprehensive understanding. The creation mark possessed by the Primordial Celestial Venerable is somewhat different from the creation mark of the Great Dao Demon God or the creation mark of the Taiqing Sage.

Based on Jiang Heng's understanding of the Creation Mark, as long as the Primordial Celestial Venerable reveals the mystery of his own Creation Mark, he is very likely to be able to glimpse the mystery within it.

A dazzling holy light began to condense on the body of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, and the aura of the Creation Mark grew stronger and stronger, almost emanating from the Primordial Celestial Venerable's entire body.

Jiang Heng was not in a hurry to make a move. Instead, he concentrated his mind and took advantage of this rare opportunity to carefully comprehend the profound mystery of the creation mark on the body of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

"Human Emperor, you know that we, the Three Pure Ones, are transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu, but you do not know that, in essence, the Three Pure Ones are also Pangu!"

The great god Pangu was able to create the world with his supreme power, and we, the Three Pure Ones, although we have reached that level, can still demonstrate some of its mysteries.

"Now, I will let you experience firsthand the supreme power of creation!" The Primordial Heavenly Venerable stared at Jiang Heng, his vast voice resounding throughout the Chaos Sea.

A vast and mighty power manifested in the body of Yuanshi Tianzun, and behind the enormous image of the sage, a hazy figure began to gradually appear.

"As expected, Senior Brother Yuanshi used this move. With his current strength, is he able to control this move?" Tongtian Sect Master muttered to himself with a solemn expression.

An indescribable aura of terror emanated from the Primordial Celestial Venerable, causing the entire Chaos Sea to tremble, and even the primordial world to shake.

Jiang Heng's face unconsciously revealed a hint of excitement. This was a power he had never felt before, so terrifying, so powerful.

Just then, Yuanshi Tianzun raised his hand and pointed, and the shape of the Pangu Banner changed, transforming into the shape of an axe.

The moment the axe appeared, it exuded an incredibly terrifying aura. Even the vast chaotic energy could not withstand this terrifying power and shattered instantly.

"The mark of the Great God Pangu, coupled with the phantom of Pangu's axe—is this a reenactment of the Great God Pangu creating the world?" Jiang Heng muttered to himself.

Jiang Heng is right. At this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun is revealing the supreme power of Pangu when he created the world.

The Three Pure Ones were formed from the three parts of the primordial spirit of the Great God Pangu, and received the greatest legacy from the Great God Pangu. In fact, they originated from the creation of heaven and earth.

This is only in theory; rather, the merging of the Three Pure Ones' primordial spirits might form the complete primordial spirit of Pangu.

Jiang Heng didn't know exactly how powerful the complete Pangu primordial spirit was, but it was definitely no less powerful than the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who had now merged with the Dao.

In fact, if the great god Pangu had not perished after creating the world, he would definitely be an unparalleled being above the Heavenly Dao.

Unfortunately, after creating the world, Pangu had already transformed into all things, and even if the Three Pure Ones were united, Pangu could not reappear.

As one of the Three Pure Ones, Yuanshi Tianzun naturally possessed the legacy of the great god Pangu. It was this legacy that enabled Yuanshi Tianzun to reenact the creation of heaven and earth.

Yes! At this moment, disregarding the consequences, Yuanshi Tianzun gathered all his power and transformed himself into the phantom of the Great God Pangu.

Due to the power of Yuanshi Tianzun, the Pangu Banner transformed into the phantom of the Pangu Axe, already revealing a terrifying aura of a supreme treasure of chaos.

After the great god Pangu created the world, the Pangu Axe, a supreme treasure of chaos, could not withstand the energy generated by the creation of the world, and thus it was divided into three innate treasures.

The axe handle transformed into the innate treasure Taiji Diagram, the axe head transformed into the innate treasure Chaos Bell, and the axe blade transformed into the innate treasure Pangu Banner.

Because it was formed from the blade of Pangu's axe, the Pangu Banner possesses the power to destroy everything; it is a sharp blade capable of cleaving through the primordial chaos.

This is certainly not the real Pangu God and Pangu Axe, but even if it is only a faint phantom, it is already terrifying beyond measure.

Whether it's the phantom of the Great God Pangu or the phantom of Pangu's axe, all of this reveals a scene of the Great God Pangu creating the world.

The figure of Yuanshi Tianzun has completely disappeared. In the vast chaotic sea, only the phantom of the Great God Pangu remains, holding the Pangu Axe.

"So that's how it is. The Great God Pangu's primordial spirit was divided into three parts, with each of the three—the Sage of Taiqing, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, and the Master of Tongtian—bearing a portion of the creation," Jiang Heng thought to himself.

Pangu's axe was divided into three parts, and Pangu's primordial spirit was also divided into three parts, so there must be an extremely mysterious connection between them.

According to Jiang Heng's speculation, after Pangu's primordial spirit was divided into three parts, the Three Pure Ones should each have borne a portion of the creation of the world by the great god Pangu.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Sage of Taiqing possesses the ability to divide Yin and Yang and establish the elements of earth, fire, water, and wind, thus enabling him to wield the supreme innate treasure, the Taiji Diagram.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable possessed the power to create the primordial chaos and shatter the vast primordial chaos, which is why he wielded the innate treasure, the Pangu Banner.

The Tongtian Sect Leader, on the other hand, possessed the supreme power to suppress the primordial chaos. Logically speaking, the Chaos Bell, this innate treasure, should indeed be under the control of the Tongtian Sect Leader.

"If the Three Pure Ones possessed the three supreme innate treasures, and joined forces, I wonder if they could recreate the magnificent feat of Pangu creating the world?" Jiang Heng thought to himself.

Seeing the phantom images of Pangu and Pangu Axe before him, and feeling their unparalleled power, Jiang Heng couldn't help but think of countless possibilities.

The Three Pure Ones each control a portion of the creation of the world by Pangu. If the Three Pure Ones join forces, can they recreate the primordial spirit of Pangu?

If the three innate treasures were respectively controlled by the Three Pure Ones, would they be able to reproduce the power of the Pangu Axe with the creation left behind by the Great God Pangu?

The Primordial Celestial Venerable created heaven and earth, the Supreme Sage differentiated yin and yang, refined earth, fire, water, and wind, and the Master of the Heavens suppressed the primordial world.

In this way, if the Three Pure Ones joined forces, could they create another primordial world from the vast chaos?

Even if we can't recreate a world like the primordial world, creating a smaller world shouldn't be a big problem.

Even if they cannot create a new world, with the Three Pure Ones joining forces, I'm afraid even Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao would become uneasy!

Therefore, the separation of the Three Pure Ones is the inevitable trend of Heaven, and the fact that the Tongtian Sect Leader could never take control of the Chaos Bell is probably also the inevitable trend of Heaven.

Perhaps, when Dao Ancestor Hongjun bestowed the Four Swords of Zhuxian upon Tongtian Jiaozhu, he did not overlook this aspect.

Putting aside these chaotic thoughts for the time being, the most important thing for Jiang Heng at this moment was to carefully comprehend the phantom of Pangu and the phantom of Pangu's axe.

The battle with Yuanshi Tianzun has become irrelevant; the scene of Pangu creating the world has reappeared, which is an unparalleled opportunity.

At this point, Yuanshi Tianzun could no longer care about these things. Recreating the scene of Pangu creating the world was also unbearable for him.

The reason why the Tongtian Sect Leader did not use such methods, and did not have the innate treasure Chaos Bell in hand, was only part of the reason.

The real reason is that the Tongtian Sect Leader's cultivation level was not high enough at this time, and he was completely unable to control the power that Pangu God once used to create the world.

At this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun was under tremendous pressure at all times, and he simply could not maintain his current state for long.

Even after this battle, regardless of the outcome, the state of the sage Yuanshi Tianzun will likely be on par with the two sages of the Western Sect.

If it weren't for the fact that he really didn't want to lose face in front of Emperor Jiang Heng, the Primordial Celestial Venerable would never have resorted to such methods.

Just as Jiang Heng was constantly comprehending the mysteries of creation, the enormous phantom of Pangu had already raised the phantom of Pangu's axe high.

In the next instant, Pangu's axe cleaved down from above. The speed was not very fast, but it presented an unimaginable creation.

A dazzling axe light cleaved out, and silently, the chaotic energy was torn apart by the terrifying power, as if the chaotic sea had been split in two by this axe.

A strong sense of crisis washed over him. Even with Jiang Heng's current strength, he felt the breath of death when facing this dazzling axe light.

"With my current strength, I simply cannot withstand this earth-shattering axe strike!" Jiang Heng thought to himself with a solemn expression.

The power of the axe that Pangu once wielded to create the world was so terrifying that it is simply indescribable.

With a solemn expression, Jiang Heng first concentrated his physical strength to the limit, and then poured all his power into the Chaos Bell.

The bell rang out, and the sun, moon, stars, earth, water, fire, and wind surrounding the Chaos Bell all emitted a dazzling light.

The mountains and rivers, and all the myriad races of the primordial world within the Chaos Bell manifested, as if they had become real beings.

At this moment, the Chaos Bell was fully revived, displaying the power befitting a supreme innate treasure. Five-colored rays of light illuminated the heavens, and the holy might of chaos shook the universe.

At this moment, after the phantom of Pangu unleashed that dazzling axe light with the phantom of Pangu's axe, it had already dissipated into the vast chaos.

The figure of Yuanshi Tianzun reappeared, and just as Jiang Heng had predicted, Yuanshi Tianzun's origin was now damaged.

In this state, Yuanshi Tianzun's strength is less than one-tenth of what it used to be, and he will probably need to go into seclusion for a long time to recover to his full strength.

This is the current limit of the Primordial Celestial Venerable. He did not hesitate to damage his own origin, but he could only unleash the power of a single strike.

But in the eyes of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, one strike was enough. He firmly believed that the Human Emperor before him could not possibly withstand this blow.

Even if they couldn't kill the Human Emperor in front of them, inflicting serious damage on him would at least save face for the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

The power of the Chaos Bell has been fully restored, suppressing space and imprisoning time. The spacetime around Jiang Heng has become an independent existence.

Layer upon layer of spacetime were densely distributed in front of Jiang Heng; the exact number of layers was impossible to count.

But before that dazzling axe light, the suppressed space shattered instantly, and the imprisoned time was also cleaved in an instant.

Layer upon layer of spacetime was shattered by the dazzling axe light. In the blink of an eye, the dazzling axe light had already truly arrived in front of Jiang Heng.

Under the expectant gaze of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, the dazzling axe light struck the Chaos Bell, and an incomparably terrifying power began to erupt.

"Boom!"

The immense roar shook the entire Chaos Sea, and even all living beings in the primordial world felt this tremendous sound.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who was on his way to the Primordial World, instantly pierced through the void with his gaze and saw the dazzling axe light strike the Chaos Bell.

At this moment, the usually expressionless Dao Ancestor Hongjun suddenly revealed a strange smile.

A dazzling axe light struck the Chaos Bell, and indescribable power erupted in the Chaos Sea. In the distance, a vast world slowly emerged.

This was a truly earth-shattering blow. If the Primordial Celestial Venerable hadn't been lacking in strength, this axe strike could have created a great world.

An energy storm swept across the vast chaotic sea, and at that moment, even the Primordial Lord of Heaven, the Master of the Heavens, could hardly see anything around him.

Even within that terrifying energy storm, the two saints, Tongtian Jiaozhu and Yuanshi Tianzun, could only barely protect themselves.

This shows the terrifying power that Jiang Heng, who is at the center of the energy storm, is currently experiencing.

After the energy storm subsided, both Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu immediately looked in the direction where Jiang Heng was.

At this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun's face was full of pride, with a hint of anticipation. On the other hand, Tongtian Jiaozhu's expression was solemn, and there was even a trace of worry.

In the next instant, a figure tens of thousands of feet tall slowly appeared, and above the head of this figure, the Chaos Bell still radiated a dazzling holy light.

"How is this possible? How could it remain completely unharmed after being struck by an axe that created the world? This is impossible!" Yuanshi Tianzun exclaimed in disbelief.

Regardless of Jiang Heng's current condition, just looking at his intact physical body and the dazzling Chaos Bell...

Both the Tongtian Sect Leader and the Yuanshi Tianzun could see that the Human Emperor before them was not seriously injured at all.

But how could that be? Yuanshi Tianzun had complete confidence in his attack just now.

That was the earth-shattering blow that Pangu, the great god, once unleashed. Even if it cannot fully reproduce the power of Pangu back then, it is still terrifying beyond measure.

Even in the mind of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, it would not be difficult to completely annihilate the two saints of the Western Sect with such a world-shaking strike.

But such a strike couldn't even harm the Human Emperor before them in the slightest? Just how terrifying was the Human Emperor's strength?

"What a huge loss! What a huge loss! Kid, I blocked this attack for you, but my essence has been damaged and I'm about to fall into a deep sleep."

The rest is up to you. Once I fall into a deep sleep this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to wake up anytime soon!

The sound of the Chaos Bell echoed in Jiang Heng's mind. The sound of the Chaos Bell was filled with endless weariness, as if it had suffered a deep injury.

"It's alright! This was all part of the plan. Take this opportunity to break free from your own shackles and thus embrace my Dao."

"Don't worry! I will gather the supreme fortune of the human race, and you will be nurtured within it. You won't be asleep for too long!" Jiang Heng said.

As soon as Jiang Heng finished speaking, the holy light of the Chaos Bell dimmed and instantly disappeared into Jiang Heng's body, whereupon he fell into a deep sleep.

The attack from Yuanshi Tianzun just now was indeed terrifying. Even if Jiang Heng could withstand it with his current strength, he would not be able to remain unharmed.

It was Chaos Bell that used its own primordial power to help Jiang Heng block that earth-shattering attack. The price was that Chaos Bell's primordial power was damaged, and it would fall into a deep sleep.

The Chaos Bell, a supreme innate treasure, is inherently invincible in its defense. To damage the Chaos Bell's essence is an extremely difficult task.

However, precisely because of this, once the Chaos Bell's origin is damaged, the period of slumber will inevitably be an extremely long time.

Even if Jiang Heng gathered the supreme fortune of the human race and slowly nurtured the Chaos Bell, he could not restore it to its original state in a short time.

However, this does not mean that Jiang Heng had no other means to resist the attack from Yuanshi Tianzun just now, but that Jiang Heng had other plans.

Although the Chaos Bell, this innate treasure, is extremely powerful, it does not contain Jiang Heng's own Dao and is not entirely compatible with him.

Therefore, when Jiang Heng used the Chaos Bell, he mostly poured his own power into it, allowing the Chaos Bell to unleash the power of a primordial treasure.

Although the power of a supreme innate treasure is strong enough, if it cannot be in harmony with one's own Dao, it is like a chicken rib to Jiang Heng.

Long ago, Jiang Heng had already planned to merge the Immortal Bell and the Chaos Bell into one, so that it could fully bear his own Dao.

However, even with Jiang Heng's current strength, it would take a long time to accomplish this.

Jiang Heng had only been able to subdue Chaos Bell for a short time, and now, during the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, Jiang Heng had even more important things to plan.

That's why Jiang Heng didn't rush to let the Chaos Bell bear his own Dao. After all, the Investiture of the Gods was the key.

However, after witnessing the incredible, earth-shattering strike unleashed by the Primordial Celestial Venerable, Jiang Heng suddenly had a thought.

The great god Pangu's earth-shattering strike was enough to damage the origin of the Chaos Bell, which also allowed the Chaos Bell to break free of its own shackles.

In this way, Jiang Heng can merge the Immortal Bell and the Chaos Bell into one, allowing the Chaos Bell to truly bear its own Dao.

Therefore, in Jiang Heng's eyes, Yuanshi Tianzun was definitely a good saint, and he had done Jiang Heng a great favor this time.

Indeed! In this battle, Yuanshi Tianzun first revealed the mark of creation, and then unleashed a groundbreaking attack that opened up the world.

This not only allowed Jiang Heng to comprehend the supreme creation of the world by the Great God Pangu, but also helped Chaos Bell break free from its own shackles.

Because of this battle with Yuanshi Tianzun, Jiang Heng has gained more confidence in what lies ahead.

"Nothing is impossible! If you want to compete with me in the future, you must fully comprehend the Creation Mark."

"If you cannot do this, you will no longer be qualified to be my opponent in the future!" Jiang Heng stared at Yuanshi Tianzun and said.

The Celestial Venerable of Primordial Beginning had a somber expression, but at this moment, the facts had already spoken for themselves, and any further words would be pale and powerless.

He was defeated! Yuanshi Tianzun, one of the Three Pure Ones, the leader of the Chan Sect, and the second disciple of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, was defeated by Jiang Heng.

Thus, including Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, Jieyin Shengren, and Zhunti Shengren, four saints have been defeated by Jiang Heng.

When the Tongtian Sect Leader descended, all living beings in the primordial world had already concluded that the demise of the Great Shang Dynasty was inevitable.

Who would have thought that Jiang Heng, through various means, would actually give the Shang Dynasty the strength to confront the four sages?

Even so, no living being believed that the Shang Dynasty could turn the tide with the arrival of four sages.

No one could have imagined that all four sages would be defeated by Jiang Heng, the Human Emperor; this was an unimaginable miracle.

Even the Supreme Saint, the head of the Six Saints, wouldn't dare say he could achieve what Jiang Heng has done when facing four other saints.

"From this day forward, this Human Emperor will likely become the first Sage under the Heavenly Dao!" The Tongtian Sect Master murmured to himself as he looked at Jiang Heng.

Given Jiang Heng's invincible power in defeating four sages in succession today, it is not an exaggeration to call him the number one sage under the Heavenly Dao.

As for Dao Ancestor Hongjun? After merging with the Dao, he was no longer a saint below the Heavenly Dao, but became an existence equal to the Heavenly Dao.

In the primordial world, apart from Dao Ancestor Hongjun, what being dares to say that they are definitely the match of the Human Emperor before them?

Even the Supreme Saint, the head of the Six Saints, probably wouldn't dare to make such a boast at this moment. Jiang Heng's solid achievements speak for themselves.

"Hmph! Human Emperor, I am indeed no match for you this time, but the outcome of the Investiture of the Gods is not up to you!" Yuanshi Tianzun said in a deep voice.

The face of the Primordial Celestial Venerable was full of resentment, both because he had been defeated by Jiang Heng and because of the impact of this battle on the Investiture of the Gods.

After this battle, it was not difficult for the Shang Dynasty to destroy Xiqi. However, in the eyes of Yuanshi Tianzun, there were still variables involved.

"Are you hoping that the Dao Ancestor will intervene and completely reverse the current situation of the Investiture of the Gods? If you have such thoughts, there is naturally no problem with it."

"If I'm not mistaken, Dao Ancestor Hongjun must have already made his move!" Jiang Heng said calmly and indifferently.

"You actually thought of this? Then why are you still so calm?" Yuanshi Tianzun asked with considerable surprise.

"All of this is within my expectations, so what is there to worry about? You will soon find out what the Great Tribulation of the Gods will be like!" Jiang Heng said.

Both Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu stared at Jiang Heng in disbelief. That was none other than Dao Ancestor Hongjun! The supreme being in the primordial world.

Even saints dare not disobey Dao Ancestor Hongjun in the slightest. Dao Ancestor Hongjun's words are the absolute rules in the primordial world.

What kind of confidence does this Human Emperor possess? How can he remain so calm even knowing that Dao Ancestor Hongjun will make a move?

Although Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu felt that the possibility was slim, they still couldn't help but think of some incredible possibility.

The Human Emperor before us is truly unexpected. When the Four Saints descended, who could have imagined that this Human Emperor would be the ultimate victor?

Now, this Human Emperor is clearly prepared to face Dao Ancestor Hongjun. What kind of methods will he prepare for this?

Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu couldn't help but look forward to how this Human Emperor would deal with Daozu Hongjun.

Just then, an unparalleled aura manifested, enveloping Jiang Heng, the Tongtian Sect Master, and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

The Tongtian Sect Leader and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable were extremely familiar with this supreme aura and did not offer any resistance, as did Jiang Heng.

Time and space transformed before Jiang Heng's eyes. In the blink of an eye, Jiang Heng, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Tongtian Jiaozhu had already arrived in the primordial world.

"Greetings, teacher!"

Both Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu bowed respectfully to an old Taoist priest. Only Daozu Hongjun could command such respect from these two saints.

The next instant, the figures of the Taiqing Sage and the Nuwa Sage also appeared here, and even the two sages of the Western Sect who were seriously injured arrived.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun surveyed the assembled saints, then said expressionlessly, "I have summoned you here today to discuss the matters concerning the Investiture of the Gods!"

Jiang Heng was naturally familiar with Dao Ancestor Hongjun. He had fought against Dao Ancestor Hongjun during the Dragon-Han Calamity.

However, compared to Dao Ancestor Hongjun during the Dragon-Han Great Tribulation, Dao Ancestor Hongjun at this time appears to be even more unfathomable.

With the appearance of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the Investiture of the Gods calamity has come to an end, and this will be the most difficult time for Jiang Heng.

I went to my father-in-law's house tonight. That's all for today. I'll try to update more tomorrow!

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year in advance!
