The Primordial War: The Symbol Emperor

An era has passed silently.

"Hahaha! Good, good!"

"Once I emerge from seclusion, I will surely trample upon all the great gods of the primordial world!"

Wei Chen laughed wildly, his face showing a ruthless expression, and his eyes filled with intense fighting spirit.

After some deduction, he murmured, "The time has come, the opportunity has arrived!"

More than 90% of the primordial creatures have died, leaving only some major powers, strong clans, dynasties, and holy lands.

"Let's go collect the Pangu Banner, the fragment of the Creation Jade Disc, and the innate top-grade spiritual root, the Peach Tree." Wei Chen's eyes burned with fervor.

"I wonder if Hongjun has gotten there first!"

The treasures Wei Chen discovered were not the Chaos Bell, but the Pangu Banner, the Peach Tree, and the Jade Disc of Creation in West Kunlun.

When he first took human form, his cultivation was only at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm. How could he dare to go to the Sun Star? The reason he knew that the Sun Star had the Chaos Bell was something that any Chinese man would know.

At that time, it was too far from West Kunlun, so the plan was to collect the Chaos Bell first and then go to West Kunlun. However, a series of unexpected events occurred, which delayed the matter until now.

"If Hongjun gets there first, I'll make him cough it all up, with interest."

Wei Chen walked out of the talisman, his mind filled with thoughts of the supreme treasure the whole way.

…………

An old Taoist priest was riding the wind and breaking through the clouds hundreds of millions of miles in the sky when suddenly, his eyelids twitched and his expression changed drastically.

He hurriedly stopped, took out a large jade disc, and made a mysterious hand seal.

Half an hour later, the old Taoist said coldly, "Hmph... How audacious and ignorant! I am the ancestor of scheming against others, yet you dare to scheme against me. You are truly courting death."

He scoffed and continued on his way.

…………

"Hmm! Who is it?" Wei Chen frowned, looking surprised.

"What happened?" A hint of curiosity appeared on Wang Shuqian's usually calm and composed face. With Wei Chen's power, he was enough to stand at the very top of the primordial world.

The fact that this matter has surprised Wei Chen suggests there must be a hidden story behind it, or perhaps there is a powerful figure, no less capable than Wei Chen, at play against him.

"It's nothing!" Wei Chen shook his head, without saying anything more.

"Who could it be? Could it be Zhuque thinking about me?" Wei Chen immediately dismissed the thought.

Suzaku couldn't possibly be thinking about him; even if she were, she wouldn't have this ominous premonition.

"If it's not Suzaku, then who is it?" Wei Chen pondered.

Wang Shu did not interrupt Wei Chen's contemplation. She sat quietly and gracefully on the stone table, like a pure white lotus flower. Her demeanor was serene and otherworldly, her beautiful eyes brimming with autumn water, and she wore a flowing white gauze dress, her fair wrists revealed through the thin veil.

"The primordial wilderness... is truly mysterious and perilous!" Wang Shu exclaimed.

If Wei Chen doesn't tell her, she won't ask. If it were anyone else, she wouldn't even bother listening.

She asked the question out of concern, having already considered Wei Chen a close friend. If he needed help, she naturally wouldn't stand idly by.

"Could it be Hongjun?" The only person Weichen could think of was Hongjun.

"That's it! It's definitely him!"

Although Wei Chen was the first living being and the first elder in the primordial world, he had never interacted with any other living beings besides the Vermilion Bird clan and Wang Shu, let alone offended them.

Only Hongjun had been mentioned by him, which allowed Hongjun to sense it.

"Hehe! Don't let me run into you! Otherwise, I will make you a real Taoist priest..." After figuring out the cause and effect, Wei Chen secretly made a fierce decision.

He had long coveted Hongjun, this supposedly wealthy but unworthy Taoist priest, and had wanted to rob him for a long time, but he just hadn't had the chance.

Wei Chen looked at Wang Shu awkwardly and said, "Um..."

He stopped mid-sentence, unsure how to begin.

He wanted to get back the mutated Yin-Yang Pearl, but he had boasted too much, almost claiming he had monopolized all the treasures of the primordial world.

He now wants to take it back, but he finds it difficult to bring himself to do so. It's like the awkward situation of lending a few dollars to a beautiful woman and suddenly having to ask her to repay the money.

Wang Shu was taken aback, but then she understood Wei Chen's meaning and reluctantly took out the pearl.

Her hands were as delicate as jade, fair and rosy, especially her five fingers, which appeared even more pure and flawless under the auspicious silver light of the jewel, making it impossible to look away.

Wei Chen was greatly encouraged. He grasped Wang Shu's fair hand and said with a smile, "Wang Shu, don't worry. I will lend you the pearl after I have studied it for a while."

"Alright!" Wang Shu withdrew her jade hand and smiled calmly.

"What a pity..." Wei Chen sighed inwardly. "Zhu Que's hands are so supple and smooth, while Wang Shu's hands are so soft and slippery, as if they have no bones. I really wanted to hold them a little longer, what a pity..."

In that instant, Wei Chen commented on both Zhuque and Wangshu, saying that they were both beautiful in their own way.

After carefully putting away the precious pearl, Wei Chen smiled and said, "See you again if fate allows!"

He doesn't know when he'll be back from this trip. Baozhu is very important to him, which is why he wants to take it back.

Otherwise, he really wouldn't have wanted to bring it up, since such behavior was hardly manly.

Seeing Wang Shu remain silent, and understanding her aloof nature, Wei Chen gave up on expecting her blessings and slowly left.

As Wei Chen reached the door and was about to use his escape technique, he was met with another infuriating sentence.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait..."

Wei Chen paused, his internal energy went astray, and he almost suffered internal injuries from holding it in.

His expression shifted several times before he finally turned around angrily and demanded, "What else is there?"

Wang Shu was stunned, unable to understand why Wei Chen, who had always been kind and generous to her, would suddenly become angry.

"Is there something wrong or not? If not, I'm leaving..." Wei Chen said impatiently.

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Shu stammered, "Why are you angry, fellow Daoist?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Chen felt embarrassed. He must have been deeply poisoned in his past life! To be so easily affected by a single sentence—it seemed he needed to work on his mental fortitude.

He laughed awkwardly, "I've lost my composure! Please forgive me..."

Wang Shu didn't believe it, blinked her thick, long, curled eyelashes, and said, "Why did you lose your composure, fellow Daoist?"

Wang Shu was puzzled. It was the same last time; just one sentence was enough to make the bold and unruly Wei Chen angry.

"It's nothing!" Wei Chen waved his hand, and in a flash, he appeared in front of Wang Shu, smiling, "Is there something you need?"

Wei Chen didn't speak, and Wang Shu stopped worrying and said, "I want to go out and train with you, fellow Daoist."

"What?" Wei Chen's voice rose a few decibels, unable to believe his ears.

“I wish to go on a training journey with you, fellow Daoist!” Wang Shu replied without hesitation.

"This..." Wei Chen looked incredulous. He knew Wang Shu's personality better than anyone.

Her beauty transcended the mundane, and so did her heart. Unmoved by the earth's collapse or the sky's fall, she was neither tempted by treasures nor saddened by life or death—this was Wangshu.

Wei Chen was very puzzled. Wang Shu was the Lord of the Moon Star, so she did not need to undergo tribulation, and she could still receive the merits!

Why? How can there be such a good thing in this world?

There's nothing you can do, they're just lucky.

The Moon is the most supreme and noble star in the primordial world. It showers down its moonlight, nourishing all things in the primordial world and making a great contribution to it.

Don't you see that the star lords of the Sun Star, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, were destined to be Heavenly Emperors from birth?

That's because the sun star also has great merit to the primordial world. The sun shines everywhere, illuminating the heavens and the earth, and bringing blessings to all living beings. Therefore, it is born with great fortune.

Otherwise, what would Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi use to compete with the Wu tribe for supremacy in the prehistoric world?

The Moon and the Sun are equal stars, both having made great contributions to the primordial world. They are born with great fortune and do not need to undergo tribulations.

Wang Shu was indifferent to fame and fortune. Apart from the Tao, everything else was external and he would never compete for anything.

Wei Chen was truly shocked when Wei Chen suddenly said he wanted to go out and gain experience.

"Why?" Wei Chen asked curiously, his mind filled with doubt and confusion.

"I wish to witness the primordial world!" Wang Shu said calmly.

Do you think I would believe that?

"Besides that, what else do you think could make me leave Taiyin Star?"

"All right!"
