The Primordial War: The Symbol Emperor

Zhuque explained the situation in the primordial world and then left Nanshan.

After a moment's thought, Wei Chen transformed into a bolt of lightning and fled towards the summit of Nanshan Mountain.

This Nanshan Mountain is indeed the Creation Mountain, and the best Creation Mountain at that.

Wei Chen arrived at the summit of Nanshan Mountain, his gaze sweeping over all the other mountains below. His imperial robes fluttered in the wind, his purple hair flying, exuding an aura of supreme authority.

Below it, a giant yellow lotus rooted itself on the mountaintop, emanating a clear and rich earthy energy.

Wei Chen waved his hand and retrieved the Earth Lotus. After being nurtured for over two hundred eons, the Earth Lotus had fully recovered.

After taking another closer look at Nanshan, Weichen's face showed regret.

No matter how good Nanshan is, it has nothing to do with him, and as for luck, he has no chance at all.

He possesses numerous treasures, and the top-tier blessed lands and grotto-heavens in the primordial world offer him absolutely no help.

There's also luck involved; he's been robbing others of their opportunities all these years, and no amount of luck can pay off his debts.

Therefore, although Nanshan is beautiful, it is like a chicken rib to him. It is a pity to throw it away, but it is tasteless to eat it.

After taking one look, Wei Chen left Nanshan without further ado.

. . . . .

Wei Chen caught up with Zhu Que and went with her to the Zhu Que clan's territory to visit the mermaid.

The two arrived at the Immortal Volcano. Wei Chen took a closer look and found that the Immortal Volcano truly lived up to its name.

The volcano is towering and boundless, devoid of any plants, trees, insects, or other small creatures. The entire volcano is desolate and lifeless, exuding an air of immortality.

Especially striking are the clusters of bonfires scattered throughout the volcano, billowing black smoke. Every now and then, a mudslide falls and extinguishes the fires. Yet, in an instant, the fires reappear, as if they were immortal.

Occasionally, groups of birds, or one or two Vermilion Birds and fiery red Phoenixes, fly past the desolate volcano, adding a touch of beautiful desolation.

Wei Chen and Zhu Que arrived at the summit of the Undying Volcano. Below them was a deep abyss, emitting black and red flames that drew a dividing line, half black and half red.

"What a miracle!" Wei Chen exclaimed sincerely after entering the abyss.

This immortal volcano actually contains a vast and boundless universe within it. No wonder the two birds have lived together peacefully on the same mountain for so long.

This volcano is so large that the black ones belong to the Vermilion Bird Clan, and the red ones belong to the Phoenix Clan. The dividing line in the middle is the abyss, which completely separates the two clans.

Furthermore, the entire volcanic world is nothing but fire and desolate flatlands, making it utterly worthless.

According to Suzaku, the eruption of the immortal volcano provides an inexhaustible supply of fire elemental energy. Therefore, the two races no longer have any conflicts of interest. What remains is only power and status.

However, there are countless powerful clans, dynasties, and holy lands in the prehistoric world. If a real war were to break out, it would inevitably result in a lose-lose situation.

Who will benefit the most in the end? This is something neither race wants to see.

Both clans understand this principle well. The reason why the South is still the domain of the Vermilion Bird Clan and the Phoenix Clan is because the two clans share a common hatred for the enemy and unite against external forces, giving no possibility of invasion that could threaten their power.

Therefore, it makes sense that the two birds can live peacefully on the same mountain without conflict!

Wei Chen and Zhu Que entered the dazzling, colorful palace.

Inside was a goddess of unparalleled beauty and captivating charm, dressed in a light blue robe. She sat casually, exuding an awe-inspiring beauty.

Wei Chen's first impression of her was that she was gentle and beautiful, with a tender and gentle nature. In particular, her beautiful eyes were bright and sparkling, with a soft and timid look that made people feel sorry for her.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, fellow Daoist!" Zhuque said with a smile.

"Not at all, it was my presumption to disturb you, please don't take offense, fellow Daoist." The mermaid responded with a warm and sincere smile, her tone gentle and mild, making it impossible to feel any sense of blame.

"Hehe! Fellow Daoist, you're still so polite." Zhuque smiled, looked at Wei Chen, and introduced, "This is my Daoist partner, Emperor Wei Chen..."

The mermaid was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on finding your perfect match!"

Upon hearing Zhuque's introduction, Wei Chen was also taken aback. Although they had become Daoist partners, they had not announced it, nor had they sworn an oath to the Heavenly Dao.

In other words, the agreement between the two was only verbal and they were not officially recognized by the Heavenly Dao.

Of course, it wasn't that the two were unwilling to take an oath, but rather that Wei Chen's karma was too heavy. Once they became Daoist partners, Zhu Que would inevitably have to share a portion of that karma.

Furthermore, Wei Chen is too good at causing trouble, making too many powerful enemies, which is very detrimental to the Vermilion Bird Clan.

Therefore, neither of them dared to make a hasty oath.

To Wei Chen's surprise, Zhuque was surprisingly open and honest.

"Don't say that the news won't get out even if there are no mermaids. Even if it does get out, what can your enemies do to me? Why would I be afraid of them?" Zhuque transmitted her voice to Weichen, expressing her attitude.

This left Wei Chen speechless for a moment, thinking to himself that the nail that sticks out gets hammered down.

"I have long admired your name, fellow Daoist. It is truly an honor to meet you today," the mermaid said with a cupped-hands bow to Wei Chen.

Wei Chen has caused such a commotion in the prehistoric world that his strength has already threatened the major races of the prehistoric world. She has long wanted to form a good relationship with Wei Chen, but she has been struggling to find a way.

Now that she has seen it, the mermaid is naturally overjoyed.

"Fellow Daoist is too modest. My meager cultivation is nowhere near as good as yours," Wei Chen replied with a smile.

After some pleasantries, the two sides got down to business.

"What are your thoughts on this allocation, fellow Daoist?" Zhuque asked.

The mermaid shook her head and smiled, "Naturally, we should join forces to resist it. There is no other way."

"Hmm!" Zhuque nodded, pondered for a moment, and asked, "How do we plan to join forces?"

There are many kinds of alliances. Some are for the sake of interests, and they will not exist without interests. In fact, for the sake of interests, they may even turn against each other.

Another aspect is providing assistance and sharing both honor and disgrace.

"Of course, we share both glory and shame," the mermaid replied firmly. After a pause, she added, "This time, the strongest beings in the primordial world have lost all will and are determined not to give up until they achieve their goal. If we form an ordinary alliance, it is very likely that we will give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of us and thus suffer defeat. Therefore, we must advance and retreat together in order to protect our territory."

Zhuque frowned and pondered. Although the South was included in this distribution of benefits, it was not a key target.

Moreover, the south has two top-tier powerful clans, the Vermilion Bird Clan and the Phoenix Clan. Even if the territory is divided, how much can be divided?

The strongest beings in the primordial world are not a monolithic entity; in the end, they all come for profit. Who would be willing to fight to the death with two top-tier powerful clans?

In the end, it's just for show; the actual losses are minimal.

The Sea God Clan, however, is different. Their entire sea area is several times larger than the primordial wilderness. Although it is not as rich as the primordial wilderness, it has the advantage of having a much larger sea area.

Moreover, after a great calamity and the destruction of various wars, the creation of the divine mountains was out of the question. So, only a few divine mountains remained, and even those were more or less damaged, so they were not very valuable.

The sea area remained undamaged. The deep sea was guarded by the Sea God Clan, while the outer sea was protected by the Dragon Clan and the Black Tortoise Clan. The east and south were the territory of the Dragon Clan, and the north and west were the territory of the Black Tortoise Clan. The entire sea area was preserved intact.

The sea is so vast and boundless that all the original lands are intact, making its value immeasurable.

Therefore, this time the strongest beings in the prehistoric world are mainly targeting the sea. It would be good if they could get a share of the land in the prehistoric world, but they will not fight to the death if they cannot.

Given this situation, it's clear to anyone with eyes to see that the key lies with the Sea God Clan, because the sea areas occupied by the Dragon Clan and the Xuanwu Clan are not large, not even one-thousandth of the Sea God Clan's.

Even if they forcibly divide the territory between the two races, how much could they actually gain? Most importantly, these two races are not to be trifled with.

Although the Sea God Clan is more difficult to provoke than the Xuanwu Clan and the Dragon Clan, the Sea God Clan's sea area is large enough, and there are enough supreme beings in the prehistoric world to devour the Sea God Clan and distribute sufficient benefits.

If they don't turn to the Sea God Clan, who else can they turn to?

In such a situation, if the Vermilion Bird Clan and the Sea God Clan were to form an alliance of shared honor and disgrace, unless the Vermilion Bird had something wrong with its head, it would absolutely not agree.

However, Zhuque is not one to back down from trouble. She is incredibly audacious and will do anything as long as there is enough benefit in it and the matter is within her control.
