The Primordial War: The Symbol Emperor

"Shhhhhh!"

Wei Chen was completely bewildered. What was going on? Just a moment ago he was so ferocious, trying to destroy me, and now—

"Hahaha!"

Wei Chen laughed wildly, even more excited than if he had obtained a supreme innate treasure.

He no longer valued innate treasures as much, since he already had enough treasures to use. He couldn't possibly use all the more he had; only strength mattered.

Now, Heaven is not only giving him treasures, but also a truly great opportunity.

"The first living being in the primordial world!"

Wei Chen became the first living being in the primordial world. The Heavenly Dao bestowed upon him a portion of innate merit, and he was protected by the Heavenly Dao's fortune. There was also a great portion of merit waiting for him to claim.

To enlighten all living beings and preach the Tao to the creatures of the primordial world, one will not only possess innate merit after completing the task, but also share in the fortune of the creatures of the primordial world.

Aren't the Six Sages—Sanqi Qing, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti—who taught all beings to become saints?

Hongjun Laozu became a sage of heaven and earth by teaching and enlightening all living beings. He received the blessing of the primordial beings and merged with the Dao of Heaven in one fell swoop, thus becoming a sage of heaven and earth.

As the first being in the primordial world, Wei Chen actually has the opportunity to educate all living beings in the primordial world. Once he completes his mission, he will definitely become a saint.

"saint--"

Just thinking about it is incredibly exciting. There are countless exceptionally talented beings in the primordial world, but only a handful can become saints.

He even forgot to put on his clothes. Only the Dao Fruit could move the heart of a cultivator whose heart is unwavering in his pursuit of the Dao.

He quickly composed himself and swore an oath to Heaven, fearing that things might change if he was too late. Although this was impossible, he still couldn't be careless.

"I, Wei Chen, wish to enlighten all living beings and awaken all creatures in the world. May Heaven bear witness—"

"Buzz!"

Billions of rays of light descended, purple clouds fell from the sky, auspicious light filled the heavens, and the world was filled with the sight of dragons circling, phoenixes singing, and the sounds of the Great Dao echoing endlessly, bringing auspiciousness to the world.

This is a rare phenomenon of celebration between heaven and earth, a celebration for the first living being in the primordial world, and a blessing that descends upon them!

"Hahaha!"

Holding the treasure in his hands, Wei Chen was overjoyed. He never expected that being the first to take human form would bring such benefits.

At the same time, he secretly rejoiced, thinking that if such a great fortune had been obtained by someone else, it would have been difficult for them to make a name for themselves in the prehistoric world.

Thunder Punishment Pearl, Imperial Sword, Merit Robe!

"A priceless treasure!" Wei Chen couldn't contain his excitement.

The Thunder Punishment Pearl is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, or perhaps a supreme treasure of the primordial heavenly way, capable of drawing upon the thunder source of the primordial world for its own use.

One advantage of the Heavenly Treasure is that it can draw upon the power of origin to defend against enemies in this world.

The Emperor's Sword and the Innate Merit Robe are both top-grade innate spiritual treasures, containing a trace of the essence of heavenly treasures and capable of drawing upon a small amount of the world's primordial power. Wearing them, one doesn't need to do anything; a continuous flow of fortune will be bestowed upon them.

These three items are supreme treasures that can suppress one's fate even after killing someone.

"What a pity!" Wei Chen said with a hint of regret. He didn't like using swords; he wished he had a spear instead!

Moreover, it's clear that Heaven wanted him to manage the prehistoric world; otherwise, it wouldn't have bestowed these three Heavenly Treasures upon him.

This is a constraint for him, not his way; freedom and ease are what he pursues.

"After I become a saint, I will pass on the Emperor Sword and the Innate Daoist Robe to a suitable person. As for the Thunder Punishment Pearl, forget about it. It is a top-tier offensive treasure and will also be of great use to me."

Wei Chen weighed the gains and losses in his mind. He absolutely could not give up the treasure and the holy position of enlightening all living beings now.

If that were to actually happen, then the position of the Heavenly Saint would be in jeopardy.

After all, it's unreasonable to expect the benefits of a position when you're not actually in it.

"Hey, luckily I arrived in the prehistoric world a long time ago, and the Heavenly Dao didn't know my identity, otherwise it would never have given me this great opportunity."

"Heaven's Way is ruthless, Heaven's Way is impartial, indeed it is true." Wei Chen chuckled to himself. He didn't believe a word of the stories in his previous life where the Great Dao schemed against Pangu, causing him to exhaust his power to create the world and perish. The Primordial Heavenly Dao schemed against so-and-so—in any case, none of them were good people.

He scoffed at this claim.

Wei Chen believes that the Way of Heaven is a rule, a rule without emotion, just like the rising and setting of the sun.

If the Way of Heaven has feelings, emotions, and selfish desires, is there any need for its perfect impartiality to exist? Is there any need for the Way of Heaven to exist if it is ruthless?

Wei Chen believes that the Way of Heaven is a set of rules; if there are emotions involved, then it is not the Way of Heaven.

Looking at the Thunder Punishment Bead, he felt reassured. This was an essential artifact for challenging opponents of higher levels. With the Thunder Punishment Bead and the Self-Cultivation Body Refinement Technique, he wouldn't be afraid even if he encountered a group attack.

Wei Chen's heart was filled with ecstatic joy that he could not calm down for a long time, but—

He was suddenly terrified. A gigantic hand suddenly appeared in the sky, encompassing the space where Wei Chen was.

This is an invincible hand, controlling everything. Life or death is decided in a single thought, entirely at the discretion of the person holding it. It is so domineering and powerful that it inspires despair and leaves no room for resistance.

"Who is this? Aren't I the number one being in the primordial world? I haven't even dominated the primordial world yet!"

Wei Chen couldn't understand it, and didn't have time to think about it, before he was grabbed by a giant hand and pulled into the endless void!
