The Primordial War: The Symbol Emperor

Wei Chen frowned, wanting to refuse Zhu Que's kindness, but unable to find a good reason.

After much thought, I can only postpone it!

Given enough time, even the ocean can turn into mulberry fields. His little affair will naturally fade with time.

Let time decide!

With this in mind, Wei Chen smiled slightly, but before he could make his stance clear, Zhu Que seemed to have seen through him.

"Oh well, never mind, it's none of my business, and I have no right to interfere. I'll go visit Sister Wangshu later," Zhuque said with a bitter face.

"No..." Wei Chen panicked as soon as he heard that they needed to find Wang Shu!

He knew Wang Shu would agree, just as she had done with him and Zhu Que, offering silent support without expressing any dissatisfaction. But that didn't mean Wang Shu was truly willing to do so.

She was just a woman, and soon to be a wife. Which wife would willingly have her husband have multiple wives and concubines?

Of course, the Vermilion Bird is an exception.

Wei Chen once suspected that Zhu Que was a beautiful tomboy.

"So you agree?" Zhuque asked with a smile, showing no trace of a wife's duty.

No, she was never married; she wasn't a wife.

Wei Chen took a deep breath, his expression clouded with worry. It seemed he had spoiled Zhu Que too much, to the point of losing all his authority. It was time to assert his masculine dignity!

Seeing Wei Chen's unfriendly expression, with anger like a volcano about to erupt, Zhu Que was immediately terrified.

Since meeting Wei Chen, he had always been gentle and obedient to her. Even when she tricked Wei Chen out of his spiritual materials and burned him with her natal fire, she had never seen him show such anger.

Before Wei Chen could get angry, Zhu Que hurriedly stepped forward and said with a forced smile, "Wait a minute..."

"Wait? What am I waiting for?" Wei Chen laughed angrily. He gritted his teeth and said, "My affairs are none of your business. Get out of here."

Upon hearing this, Zhuque was also furious: "Isn't what you're saying going too far? I disregarded the opposition of my clan, went my own way, and poured everything into it. Who was I doing all this for?"

Wei Chen's anger subsided slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

When a man and woman argue, once it reaches this point, regardless of who is right or wrong, whoever gives in first is considered to be at fault. So you absolutely cannot back down.

"Walk……"

Wei Chen's deep tone was filled with coldness, domineering attitude, and an air of unquestionable authority.

The best way for him to establish authority is to project an aloof and domineering image, along with absolute capriciousness.

To perfectly portray a domineering and aloof personality, your words should never exceed ten characters.

If ten words can be expressed in one word, then the most perfect interpretation of domineering and aloofness can be achieved.

Clearly, Wei Chen understands the ins and outs of the matter and has mastered it to its fullest extent, reaching the pinnacle of skill.

"you……"

At this moment, Zhuque was afraid. Weichen gave him an unprecedented sense of unfamiliarity. Even though he had a thousand unwillingnesses and ten thousand grievances in his heart, he put them all to the back of his mind at this moment and dared not act rashly.

Because Weichen is just too important to her!

"As expected... the psychologist wasn't making baseless accusations." Wei Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

As far as he knew, a psychologist once said that between men and women or between husband and wife, no matter who is right or wrong, as long as they still have each other in their hearts, there is no right or wrong, only willingness or unwillingness.

If there is no affection between two people, then even looking at each other is a mistake.

Wei Chen looked at Zhu Que, who was hanging her head, her dignity gone, like a woman who had made a mistake facing her husband.

"You should go back first! The Great Tribulation is coming soon, and even if you go into seclusion to cultivate diligently, it will be too late. We can discuss the matter of a Daoist partner later," Wei Chen said calmly.

Although he has temporarily suppressed Zhuque, Zhuque is no ordinary person. Wei Chen is unsure whether the outcome will be reversed once she comes to her senses.

What he wants most right now is to avoid this topic, leave the South, and hide away for a while.

"Well..." Zhuque hesitated, her voice weak, like a little woman.

"Go back!" Wei Chen waved his hand, displaying his true gentlemanly demeanor.

Seeing Zhuque's submissive demeanor, Wei Chen couldn't help but feel extremely smug.

In the primordial world, if we were to ask which goddess was the most powerful, Zhuque would probably be second to none.

Now that Wei Chen sees the Empress bowing and obeying him, he is filled with immense pride.

Because Suzaku, in terms of strength, influence, shrewdness, and beauty, is at the very pinnacle of the primordial world, she is the undisputed empress.

And Wei Chen was actually able to subdue the Vermilion Bird, which filled him with pride!

Seeing that Zhuque was unwilling to leave and looked guilty, Wei Chen's heart softened and his expression instantly relaxed.

He smiled and said, "I don't mean to blame you, it's just that I can't accept your kindness."

Suzaku did all this for him and paid a heavy price for it. Although he was very disgusted, he couldn't go too far.

Otherwise, they are ungrateful and it's no different from being treacherous.

"I knew you wouldn't blame me."

Zhuque breathed a sigh of relief. Although the matter was well-intentioned, it was too arbitrary to impose her own ideas on Weichen without his consent.

Fortunately, Wei Chen wasn't angry, which made her feel relieved. After all, every man has his own dignity, let alone a supreme being!

It's such a pity!

Zhuque sighed inwardly. If a million brides were to help him, it would be of great benefit to Weichen, but Weichen refused, and there was nothing she could do.

"Let's go! I'll take you to see a supreme expert." Zhuque smiled and changed the subject.

"Who is it?" Wei Chen asked curiously. To be introduced by Zhu Que, this person must be extraordinary.

"The patriarch of the Sea God Clan, the mermaid—" Suzaku spoke of the mermaid with reverence in his tone and expression.

"What is she doing here? What is your relationship with her?" Wei Chen asked.

He knew of such a figure in the primordial world, but had never seen her. He only deduced that she was very strong, as was the Sea God Clan. Their race was as powerful as the Vermilion Bird Clan.

The Sea God Clan, the Vermilion Bird Clan, and the Star Clan—these three races suffered no losses in the Great Calamity of Creation. On the contrary, these three races have developed to an unbelievable level of power.

As for the other top clans, their foundations were damaged during the Great Calamity of Creation, and they have not yet recovered.

"Ten Yuanhui later, Hongjun will preach at Yujing Mountain, and has invited almost all the great powers and supreme experts," Zhuque said solemnly.

"I'm afraid it's not just a simple discussion of Tao," Wei Chen said.

If it were merely a discussion of Dao, why would so many powerful figures need to be invited? This matter must be far from simple.

Moreover, the invitation came from Hongjun, the harbinger of disaster, so it must be a matter of great importance concerning the overall situation.

“Indeed, it’s not just about discussing the Dao, but also about allocating the primordial regions and establishing rules.” Zhuque frowned, her face filled with worry. “Our clan and the Sea God Clan are close allies, and we’ve come here to discuss countermeasures together.”

After the great calamity that created the world, many supreme beings emerged, but they did not possess large territories. This led to endless slaughter, and the aftershocks of the battles destroyed countless lands and rivers.

This allocation and rule-making were clearly aimed at their Creator race.

Because they have occupied eight or nine out of ten of the sacred mountains and blessed lands that were created by the creation of heaven.

It should be understood that the Creation Mountain is no less precious than the sacred sites of later generations, the Seventy-Two Blessed Lands, or the Thirty-Six Grotto-Heavens. It is even rarer than top-grade innate spiritual treasures, and may even surpass them.

Because both the Creation Mountain and the Creation Tree are finite, there are only 129,600 of them, which is exactly the number of a Yuanhui (a unit of time in Chinese calendar).

The Creation Mountain not only contains the Daoist essence of creation, but it can also generate its own innate Daoist essence, with clear laws and the ability to gather fortune. It is many times more precious than the Creation Tree, let alone an innate spiritual treasure.

The only pity is that, to this day, only a fraction of the original sacred mountains remain. Some were destroyed by ferocious beasts, some were blasted apart by gods, and some had their earth veins damaged in the battles, becoming ordinary sacred mountains that are essentially useless.

Most of the remaining Kaitian Divine Mountains are now occupied by the Kaitian race. After the great calamity, the strongest beings who want to take the Kaitian Divine Mountains from them will inevitably have to fight a bloody battle.

To avoid bloodshed, negotiations are naturally essential.

As for the outcome of the negotiations, and whether greater benefits can be obtained, that depends on each party's methods and strength.
