Chaos Spirit Field

Nuwa asked, "Zhao Zilong, if you are the son of destiny, then what is Zhao Shanhe?"

Zhao Zilong smiled faintly and replied with a firm gaze, "Zhao Shanhe is a variable. Some time ago, some mysterious and powerful creatures appeared in the Heaven Beyond Heaven. Some of them are even more powerful than me. In the future, Pangu World will face an unprecedented catastrophe. The birth of a Human Emperor may not be a bad thing."

Nuwa's expression gradually grew serious, and she pressed the issue, "Zhao Zilong, are you serious?"

Zhao Zilong replied in a positive tone, "Nuwa, who dares to joke about such a thing? They are gathering on Tianmo Star. If you don't believe me, you can go to Tianwaitian and check it out yourself."

Nuwa said, "I will go. Zhao Zilong, who do you plan to make the Emperor of Man?"

Zhao Zilong pondered for a moment before replying, "Nuwa, what you said is quite true. Even a saint can't designate who will be the Human Emperor, let alone a stray dog like me. Within the Three Realms, only three individuals are capable of becoming the Human Emperor: Zhao Shanhe, aliased as Xuanzang; the former Heavenly Emperor, now known as Tantai Hentian; and my disciple Yang Nianhe, now known as Zhao Yunlong. All three possess the Five Elements Sacred Bodies. The others simply don't qualify to contend for the title. As for Emperor Xin, tricked from the immortal realm by Tongtian Patriarch, even with the luck of the daughter of Emperor Xuanyuan, he's still unqualified; he's merely a grinding stone."

Nuwa nodded slightly in approval, then asked, "So, among these three, who is the most suitable candidate?"

Zhao Zilong said with a determined look, "In terms of strength and potential, Zhao Shanhe is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate for the Human Emperor, but he is too mysterious and full of uncertainties. My apprentice, Zhao Yunlong, lost his immortal bones due to the erosion of the Tianhe River, and has no choice but to follow the path of the Human Emperor. As for Tan Tai Hen Tian, if he can give up the position of Heavenly Emperor, he would be the most suitable candidate. Of course, if the Three Emperors in Huoyun Cave can emerge, the situation will be different."

Nuwa smiled and jokingly said, "The Three Emperors have heavy responsibilities and cannot leave the Fire Cloud Cave. I think Zhao Shanhe is the most suitable."

Zhao Zilong didn't directly refute him, but responded calmly, "Your Majesty is right. Zhao Shanhe is far superior to the other two in every aspect. If he becomes the Human Emperor, the other two will have to step aside. But do you saints trust him? In fact, letting him become a saint is the best choice."

Upon hearing this, Nuwa's expression suddenly changed. She loudly demanded, "Zhao Zilong, there's no need to pretend anymore. You and Zhao Shanhe are the same person!"

Zhao Zilong saw that Nuwa was trying to deceive him. He smiled faintly and said frankly, "Nuwa, you are indeed very discerning. You have seen through me. I am Zhao Shanhe. Would you like to spar with me to confirm my identity?"

"That's exactly what I meant."

Zhao Zilong breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Nuwa was just suspicious, not certain. He drew his spear and charged into battle.

The entire audience was stunned by these words, especially Zhao Yunfei and Zhao Yunlong. They looked at each other and realized that, despite being equally handsome, they didn't look alike. This was mainly because Zhao Shanhe's appearance had changed significantly since he was planted in the Chaos Spiritual Field, and his genes had also been altered. It was no surprise that his two sons looked different.

Yun Zhongzi watched the fight between Zhao Zilong and Nuwa Niangniang and couldn't help but sigh: "My fellow apprentice brothers, our little apprentice brother is really quite powerful. Who do you think will win?"

The Yuxu disciples present focused their attention on Jade Ding Zhenren, inviting him to comment. While not the most accomplished of the Yuxu disciples, Jade Ding Zhenren possessed the most profound knowledge. Under the expectant gazes of his fellow disciples, he spoke, "Second Senior Brother, fellow senior brothers, and junior brother, let me offer a few immature observations. Speaking solely of combat tactics, even if Master arrived, he might not be a match for Junior Brother. I suspect only Zhao Shanhe, who has mastered the Dao of Power, could compete with him."

Yun Zhongzi nodded and said, "Junior Brother Yuding, do you think it's possible that this junior brother is Zhao Shanhe?"

Jade Ding Zhenren replied, "Second Brother, judging by their fighting methods, there's no connection between the two. Zhao Shanhe's strength outshines his skill, while Junior Brother's strength lies in technique. He's truly achieved the unity of man and spear, entering the realm of skill. He's a man of nonsense, and didn't Nuwa take it seriously? The fight has stopped; it's actually a draw. It seems Junior Brother has truly returned. We'll have some good wine to drink soon."

After the smoke and dust cleared, Nuwa Niangniang asked with a look of dissatisfaction, "Zhao Zilong, why don't you use the God-killing Spear? I don't need you to give in."

Zhao Zilong replied respectfully, "Nuwa, I was able to eliminate Luohou last time thanks to your assistance. How dare I use the God-killing Spear against you?" He couldn't say that the God-killing Spear was still planted in the Chaos Spiritual Field.

Nuwa seemed to have guessed something and said, "Zhao Zilong, I can use my divine power to help you clean up the God-killing Spear, and then we can fight again."

Zhao Zilong waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Nuwa, I lost just now. Thank you for your kindness. I won't bother you with the God-Slaying Spear. After the catastrophe is over, I will return to Yuxu Palace and consult Master before making a final decision."

Nuwa Niangniang understood the meaning behind Zhao Zi's words, which showed that he was worried about her. She said dissatisfiedly, "I am not one of the two saints of the West. How can I take advantage of your treasure? If you don't want to help me, then forget it."

Zhao Zilong quickly said, "Nuwa's character is quite good, far surpassing the two saints of the West. This is known to all the three realms."

Nuwa felt that Zhao Zilong was being indirect and veiled in criticism. Ever since the Conferred Gods War, she knew her reputation had been ruined. She angrily said, "Zhao Zilong, don't forget who you are. I will never let you go."

Yun Zhongzi walked over and said with a smile, "Junior brother, you're really asking for trouble. You've angered Goddess Nuwa. You'll have to bear the consequences. Can you lend me the God-killing Spear to take a look?"

Zhao Zilong knew Yun Zhongzi's intention and thought he was planning to imitate the God-Slaying Spear. However, he couldn't produce it right now, so he said, "Second Brother, the God-Slaying Spear still contains Luo Hou's remnant soul. I sealed it in the Heaven Beyond Heaven and never brought it with me. Please forgive me."

The situation was a bit awkward, so Jade Ding Zhenren came out to smooth things over, saying, "Junior brother, I miss your fine wine so much."

At this moment, Yang Jian said, "Zhao Zilong, Yang Xiaochan is still suffering at the foot of Mount Hua."

Zhao Zilong smiled and replied, "Second brother, Xiaochan's strength surpasses yours. How could a mere Mount Hua hold her captive? When I noticed something was wrong with my body, I left her many treasures. There aren't many in the Three Realms who can surpass her. She willingly allowed herself to be bound so as not to burden Nuwa."
