The Primordial War: The Symbol Emperor

As soon as Wei Chen flew out of the Undying Volcano, he saw Wang Shu, whom he had been longing for. Without saying a word, he immediately pulled Wang Shu back to Nanshan.

A gentle breeze occasionally blows across the pavilion amidst the vast expanse of misty water. Under the blazing sun, the lake shimmers, rippling with rainbow-like waves.

Wei Chen held Wang Shu and sat on the edge of the pavilion, leaning against a stone pillar, letting the breeze caress their faces.

Wang Shu was dressed in snow-white clothes, her hair as black as ink, dancing in the breeze.

Her snow-white skin was tinged with a faint blush, like the sun shining brightly on a snow-capped mountain.

With her exquisitely beautiful and flawless face, she nestled in Wei Chen's arms, gentle and serene.

Wei Chen's predecessor could only be described as handsome, but now he is incomparably good-looking and has a tall and imposing figure.

The two are simply a match made in heaven.

"You shouldn't have come. You should have gone back to the Star Clan." Wei Chen broke the warm atmosphere and reached out to pinch Wang Shu's fair and rosy cheeks.

“I know!” Wang Shu slapped Wei Chen’s hand away and uttered a dreamlike voice.

"Then you're still coming?"

"I want to explore the wilderness with you, and you'll protect me anyway!" Wang Shu whispered.

"Oh, I think you're getting restless from being too still?" Wei Chen said with a smile.

"No, if I hadn't met you, I would never have left Taiyin Star!" Wang Shu answered softly and truthfully.

"So you miss me?" Wei Chen asked with a smile.

"Don't speak..."

"Haha..." After a few jokes, Wei Chen looked thoughtful.

When Wang Shu came to see him, the Holy Mother of the North Star would surely have tried to stop her, but Wang Shu still came. This shows how determined she was.

All the supreme beings in the primordial world knew how dangerous Wei Chen was right now. Wang Shu and the Holy Mother of Beichen were no exception.

They simply wanted to get rid of Wei Chen and seize his treasure.

After all, he lacked a prestigious position and good fortune, and possessed an outrageous amount of treasures.

Which powerful individual wouldn't want a piece of the pie?

Rather than saying that Wang Shu wanted to accompany him on his adventures, it would be more accurate to say that she wanted to face powerful enemies with him.

However, Wei Chen was not worried about the siege by the strongest, nor was the Holy Mother of Bei Chen.

What he was worried about was their luck! The two of them shouldn't have too much entanglement right now, lest it harm Wang Shu's luck.

For cultivators in the primordial world, luck is undoubtedly the most important thing, followed by supreme treasures.

Without good fortune in the primordial world, it's impossible to become a saint unless you defy the heavens.

But is this possible?

The greatest treasures are those that are not available; without them, achievements are limited.

For example, Wei Chen, without Pangu's favor, the assistance of the innate Dao talisman, and the foundation laid by the Chaos Origin Stone, would absolutely not have achieved what he has today. He might still be a nobody, cannon fodder.

Take Wang Shu for example. Without Wei Chen's Yin-Yang Origin Pearl, her Chaos Spiritual Object, and her immense fortune and boundless merit, she would not have achieved what she has today.

Furthermore, the strongest beings in the primordial world achieved their current status only by relying on various supreme treasures and immense fortune.

In conclusion, there is absolutely no such thing as a supreme being who becomes supreme solely through their own background, comprehension, or perseverance.

Wei Chen was well aware of the fatal allure he held for the strongest beings in the primordial world. He would stop at nothing for it, even at the cost of his life.

Wei Chen is currently exposed here, yet he has not been attacked and is still quite at ease, which can only be due to two reasons.

First, those who discriminate against Wei Chen are not entirely confident, and a rash attack might fall into Wei Chen's trap.

Secondly, it is under the protection of the Vermilion Bird, which, as the god of the south, has the responsibility of protecting the south.

With this divine position, even if those supreme experts wanted to harm Wei Chen, they would have to have a meticulous plan, minimize the aftermath of the battle, and finish the fight quickly.

Otherwise, if they were surrounded by the Vermilion Bird Clan, killing them wouldn't incur any karma, and their deaths would be in vain.

Moreover, there is a significant limitation: the Vermilion Bird Clan is considered to have performed meritorious deeds in enforcing the law in the south and quelling unrest.

As long as they are not creatures from the south, but want to kill and plunder in the south, the Vermilion Bird Clan has the right to kill them. However, they dare not do anything to the Vermilion Bird Clan, otherwise they will surely be entangled in karmic consequences.

With this restriction, countless powerful individuals who harbored ill intentions towards Wei Chen were stopped.

"When do you plan to return to the Star Clan?" After pondering for a long time, Wei Chen asked.

"I don't want to go back. I want to stay and keep you company," Wang Shu said.

“No.” Wei Chen shook his head and said seriously, “I have things to do next, all of which are major events that will damage my luck. You absolutely cannot participate.”

What he was going to do was exactly what he and the Holy Mother of the North Star were worried about, fearing that Wang Shu would be dragged into it and thus have her fortune and status stripped away by the Heavenly Dao.

After a moment of silence, Wang Shu told Wei Chen that she was going to take charge of the Central Plains.

Wei Chen frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "I think it's better if you don't go. The Central Plains are full of powerful people, and they are all treacherous and cunning. With your experience, it's really not advisable for you to venture out alone."

"Don't worry, there are strategists from the Star Clan there, nothing will happen." Wang Shu explained, "I'm only going to broaden my horizons, gain experience, and see those supreme experts."

"Hmm, that's fine too!" Wei Chen thought about it and agreed. They couldn't let Wang Shu stay on Taiyin Star forever.

Afterwards, the two chatted about many interesting topics.

A few days later, Wang Shu left Nanshan and headed to the Central Plains.

No sooner had Wang Shu left than Zhu Que appeared.

"What are you doing here?" Wei Chen asked in surprise. "The matter was settled so quickly?"

Zhuque hummed in agreement and smiled, "I arrived yesterday, but seeing you two so affectionate, I didn't want to disturb you."

"What brings you here?" Wei Chen asked.

"I plan to attack the north," said Suzaku.

"Are you crazy?" Wei Chen asked, his face full of confusion. "The ferocious beasts have been entrenched in the north for years, and all the rare and precious resources have already been plundered. What good would it do if you managed to defeat them?"

“Moreover, we’ve already clashed with the forces of the Central Plains. Now you’re going to provoke the ferocious beast race. Aren’t you afraid they’ll unite?” Wei Chen became more and more puzzled as he spoke, not understanding why Zhuque would do this.

"I have my reasons for doing this. For this purpose, I have been plotting with the Star Clan for many years and have made many preparations. Now the time is just right."

Zhuque explained, "The forces that will attack the north this time are the Sea God Clan, the Phoenix Clan, and the Star Clan."

"How could the Phoenix Clan possibly participate?" Wei Chen asked, frowning. The Phoenix Clan doesn't have the resources of the Vermilion Bird Clan, the Sea God Clan, or the Star Clan; at most, they only number in the tens of billions. How could they possibly follow the Vermilion Bird Clan in something that would be a losing proposition?

“I informed Phoenix that the Great Tribulation was about to begin, so she had no choice but to participate. As for the Sea God Clan, it was simply because they were powerful enough that they joined the battle.”

At this point, Suzaku sighed.

"No one knows what the future holds after the Great Tribulation. Let's take advantage of the time before the Great Tribulation to hunt down more ferocious beasts and build up our strength for our people."

Don't be fooled by the current unparalleled strength of the Vermilion Bird Clan. Once the Great Calamity erupts, even if the Vermilion Bird Clan is several times stronger, it won't be of any use.

Because the great calamity will cloud their minds, turning them into killing machines, killing until the great calamity ends.

In this situation, the more members of the clan there are, the more will die.

Suzaku needs to seize this opportunity to accumulate more resources so that it can rise quickly after the Great Tribulation.
