The Holy Path of the Primordial World Shines Brightly

Chapter 18 Ancestral Dragon, Son of the Red Emperor

Dijiang's words once again shattered Fengxi's worldview.

Listen to this!

Is this something a human being would say?!

The Dragon Ancestor alone is going to suppress all the human kings and holy emperors, including the most amazing and outstanding Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors...

It's good to dream, because you can have anything in your dreams.

"Looking at it from any angle, the Dragon Ancestor has no hope, right?" Feng Xi's eyes twitched. "If he had that ability, why would he need to invest in the human race?"

"Wouldn't it be wonderful to go out and work alone?"

"Heh." Dijiang chuckled, neither confirming nor denying. "Little Fengxi, don't think that just because you've seen a hidden corner of the past, you can so easily define others."

"Regardless of anything else, the Dragon Ancestor was one of the most accomplished among the innate saints, and an extremely powerful divine being among the Great Luo Emperors!"

"No matter what, his talent and wisdom are beyond your current authority to question or deny," Dijiang said calmly. "Time is endless, the heavens are infinite... In countless timelines, who can say that the Dragon Ancestor cannot sweep across the world and be the sole ruler?"

"Think carefully about your memories," he said, looking at Feng Xi. "The universe you once lived in was a timeline that evolved from the infinite variables and possibilities of the primordial world."

Feng Xi was stunned.

He recalled earnestly, and finally unearthed something from the deepest part of the ocean of memories.

Is there such a person as someone who could surpass the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?

Of course!

There was once an unparalleled emperor who unified the world!

He believed that his virtues surpassed those of the Three Sovereigns and his achievements exceeded those of the Five Emperors, so he created the term "Emperor" to refer to himself!

And this one, in the evaluations of later generations, also has a special title - the First Emperor!

In an instant, Feng Xi's back was covered in cold sweat.

He forced himself to remain calm. "Lord Dijiang, one is a historical event, and the other is from an ancient mythological era. The connection... isn't that great?"

"Much of your history is actually a distorted reflection of fragments from the primordial era," Dijiang glanced at him. "Otherwise, why would Houtu have summoned you to the primordial main realm?"

"Because this is the heart of all the contradictions!"

"So, the Dragon Ancestor has really turned the tables? He's taken charge now?" Feng Xi wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"There's a good chance," Dijiang nodded. "He certainly has a chance of winning, and it's worth a shot."

"Aren't the Ancestral Witches and Human Kings on guard? What if the Dragon Ancestor succeeds? Wouldn't that be..." Feng Xi, earning a little witch's salary, was worrying about the Human Kings.

However, when he saw the intriguing smile on Dijiang Zuwu's face, his tense mood suddenly calmed down.

Don't panic!

With such insidious—no, resourceful—ancestral witches around, what is there to worry about?

If the Dragon Ancestor was really that powerful, and could have single-handedly swept away the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, then why did the previous era end in resentment?

Therefore, even if he can act ruthlessly for a time, he will most likely fail in the end.

As her thoughts raced, Feng Xi came to a very important piece of information.

Qin Dynasty – It perished after only two generations!

Who killed it? To whom did it surrender?

A being who claims to be the son of the Crimson Emperor!

There's a little story behind this—the son of the Red Emperor beheaded the son of the White Emperor, and only then did he embark on his grand undertaking to overthrow the Qin Dynasty.

This illustrates that the factional conflicts among the Five Heavenly Emperors were far from harmonious.

But no matter what, the ultimate target was Qin, who inherited the will of the Ancestral Dragon.

Ultimately, his dynasty perished after only two generations, and his imperial ambitions and achievements came to naught.

"Considering the context, this is a blatant slap in the face!" Feng Xi's expression was complex. "He claimed to have achievements surpassing the Five Emperors, with unparalleled accomplishments, but in the blink of an eye, his foundation was destroyed by the Red Emperor's son."

"Retribution came so fast, like a tornado..."

He silently shed a tear of sympathy for the Dragon Ancestor.

At the same time, they gained a clearer understanding and appreciation of the ruthlessness and decisiveness of the human kings and emperors.

As expected of an unparalleled supreme being capable of suppressing ancestral witches individually, he is terrifyingly powerful!

……

Now that she understood that the human race's leader was aware of the situation and was playing a long game, Feng Xi was no longer worried about the Dragon Ancestor's problem.

He quietly changed the subject, focusing on a problem he was very concerned about.

"I have a little confusion about the Lich War..." he asked tentatively. "Our Lich Clan is now preparing for war; on the other hand, the Demon Clan is still a disorganized mess."

"These various strongholds stand on this vast, desolate land, lacking a truly cohesive core. So why don't we take the initiative and launch a lightning attack?"

"To eliminate enemies who will inevitably become major threats in the future, and gain an absolute advantage in the final battle?"

"It's not that we don't want to, but that we can't," sighed Dijiang, the Ancestral Witch. "Our Witch Clan cannot be the first to launch an attack."

He looked at Feng Xi, who seemed puzzled and confused, and pondered for a moment. "The reason for this can be traced back to the origin of the world and all living beings—Pangu."

"Pangu created heaven and earth, heaven and earth gave rise to essence and energy, and essence and energy gave birth to all living things."

"Strictly speaking, every single thing or living being in the primordial universe is directly related to Pangu."

"To exaggerate a bit, it wouldn't be wrong to say they're all descendants of Pangu!"

"This applies to both the innate deities and ordinary living beings."

"Then what about our Wu Clan..." Feng Xi was a little dumbfounded—what happened to the Wu Clan being the true lineage of Pangu? How come they've suddenly become so widespread?

"Unlike others, we can only rely on ourselves. We, the Ancestral Witches, have a will written by Pangu himself, which specifies the rights and obligations of each individual, and thus we inherit a portion of the world's authority." Dijiang shrugged. "But in terms of personal status, there is no real difference between us and others."

"On the contrary, as the eldest son and the heir, one must demonstrate the proper demeanor... How can one be so quick to shout for war and bloodshed?"

"Tyrants and incompetent rulers must be overthrown!"

"But wouldn't that give us a legitimate claim and a sense of righteousness?" Feng Xi's eyes lit up. "We could wield the might of Pangu to command all races; who would dare disobey?"

"The issue of shares." Dijiang shook his head. "Although our Ancestral Witches inherited a portion of the shares of the primordial world, unfortunately... things are different now."

"Too many self-reliant, naturally divine beings have acquired shares in the world after they became wealthy, severely diluting our share."

"Although we are still the largest shareholders, we account for less than 10% of the total."

"Under these circumstances, how can we be the first to launch an attack? I fear that the gods, feeling threatened, will join forces to eliminate us, the source of this turmoil."

"Moreover, a momentous event occurred at the first Great Luo Gathering at Zixiao Palace, leaving us powerless even if we wanted to," Dijiang said. "Hongjun made his stance clear, desiring to ascend to the position of the supreme ruler of heaven and earth, and coveting Pangu's status..."

"We, who have inherited some of Pangu's legacy, naturally became a thorn in his side."
