The Primordial War: The Symbol Emperor

"A full thousand years!"

Wei Chen was filled with emotion. He hadn't cultivated at all during these thousand years, but had been constantly watching over Wang Shu. He didn't even know how he had spent those thousand years.

Rumble!

Dark clouds gathered over the Taiyin star, lightning flashed, and thousands of thunder dragons descended, radiating terrifying divine might.

With the Chaos Bell and Yin-Yang Pearl above her head, Wang Shu was completely unharmed by the thunderbolts. The Tai Xu Sword in her hand unleashed countless sword beams, cleaving through the void and shattering the lightning arcs!

His entire body was enveloped in countless divine rays, accompanied by myriad wondrous methods, as if all things were sprouting and unfolding infinite possibilities.

"So powerful!" Wei Chen murmured.

With Wang Shu's current cultivation level, if he were to spend some more time accumulating experience and fully comprehend the mysteries of the Great Luo, he would definitely become one of the strongest beings in the prehistoric world.

Even if he were to face either the Netherworld Emperor or Judge Cui, he wouldn't be guaranteed a victory, but he certainly wouldn't be at a disadvantage.

An hour later, the lightning tribulation dissipated.

Wang Shu slowly walked towards Wei Chen, her eyes smiling, her beautiful face still showing a touch of shyness, revealing her charm.

Wei Chen also looked at Wang Shu with a smile. Neither of them spoke, and they gazed at each other quietly, each able to see themselves reflected in the other's eyes.

After a long while, a gentle breeze swept by.

Wang Shu's white robes swayed, her beautiful hair brushing against her face. She looked like a fairy who had fallen into a wild land, appearing holy and flawless.

Wei Chen, dressed in a yellow robe fluttering in the wind, with purple hair flying, a waist as straight as a spear, and shoulders as strong as mountains, was a majestic and imposing figure.

He seemed like an unparalleled god-king, standing there casually, exuding only an aura of dominating heaven and earth and suppressing the universe.

The man here is handsome and tall, and the woman is stunningly beautiful; the two are simply a match made in heaven.

Wei Chen longed to pull Wang Shu into his arms, but he knew he couldn't do that, or he would only hurt her.

Because Weichen was afraid he wouldn't be able to resist executing Wangshu on the spot.

If that's the case, then the two are Daoist partners, and Wei Chen's karma would be shared with Wang Shu in half.

This was very disadvantageous for Wang Shu, so Wei Chen dared not cross the line.

"Let's go!"

Wei Chen stepped forward, took Wang Shu's soft hand, and led her into the palace.

Throughout, Wang Shu remained silent. Her fair face flushed slightly, and she occasionally fluttered her eyelashes, exuding boundless shyness.

The two sat in the palace, and Wang Shu asked worriedly, "Wei Chen, why are you like this?"

Wei Chen was surprised, not expecting Wang Shu to no longer address him as "fellow Daoist." But then he thought about it and understood.

Now that they've both reached this point, it would be somewhat inappropriate for them to still address each other as fellow Daoists.

Wei Chen pondered for a moment and said, "My affairs are none of your business!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Shu pursed her delicate red lips and said, "Why won't you let me help you?"

Clearly, Wang Shu had already seen that Wei Chen was entangled in boundless karma.

"You can't help me. Doing this will only hurt you." Wei Chen shook his head with a smile.

His current karma is very serious; half of his cultivation has been suppressed. Otherwise, he would have already gone after those guys!

"It's better than nothing!" Wang Shu said firmly, "Let me help you!"

"Really, it's not necessary. I have a solution."

"I am the master of the Taiyin Star, with profound fortune. No matter how great the karma, it cannot affect me. Let me help you!" Wang Shu pleaded, hoping that Wei Chen would agree.

"No!" Wei Chen refused without hesitation. Even if Wang Shu took half of his karma, it wouldn't make a difference. In that case, it was better not to divide it at all, allowing Wang Shu to achieve enlightenment and gather all her great fortune for cultivation.

"I'll do whatever you say." Wang Shu looked at Wei Chen, her eyes full of tenderness.

"Let me help you! Just like you helped me back then. No matter how great the difficulties or how much the cost, you still held me tight and carried me as we climbed Mount Buzhou!"

"I said no, and that means no," Wei Chen said in a deep voice.

Before Wang Shu could persuade him, Wei Chen took out the Heavenly Yuan Shield, the Netherworld Lotus, the World-Destroying Black Lotus, and half of all his possessions.

"Take it and study it!"

Wang Shu was shocked to see so many treasures, and then said helplessly, "Why did you do this? Why did you have to snatch treasures that didn't belong to you? You already have so many treasures, you really shouldn't be trying to steal other people's opportunities."

Wang Shu had long known this day would come, but she still underestimated Wei Chen's audacity, as he dared to snatch even the most precious treasure of the Ancestor of the Dao.

Upon hearing this, Wei Chen felt a surge of anger.

Do you know how that Yin-Yang Pearl came to be?

Before Wang Shu could answer, Wei Chen continued, "I stole them. Apart from my innate treasure, all other treasures were stolen by me."

"If I don't seize it, I'll have nothing. If I don't seize it, how will I cultivate? The primordial world is extremely dangerous, with countless powerful beings. Once a great calamity comes, what will I use to face it?"

Wang Shu was speechless, just as Wei Chen had said. The primordial world was too dangerous, and there were too many supreme beings.

If you lack the strength, you will only become a stepping stone for others.

"It's my incompetence!" Wang Shu sighed softly.

Wei Chen did nothing wrong. If it weren't for the Yin-Yang Pearl, Wang Shu wouldn't be where she is today.

Without Wei Chen's vast resources, Wang Shu would not have had twelve different kinds of flowers blooming.

Wei Chen's power and wealth are the result of paying a heavy price and seizing them from others, not from waiting for a windfall.

All of this is for the purpose of proving the truth.

"Never have such thoughts. Don't let all of this cloud your Dao heart. You must cultivate without distraction," Wei Chen said in a deep voice.

"Yes! I understand what you mean!" Wang Shu smiled faintly.

"It's good that you understand." Wei Chen nodded. He was really worried that Wang Shu would be unable to concentrate on her cultivation because of these things.

"The Heavenly Origin Shield is just an empty shell, and this Chaos Spirit Crystal is perfect for nurturing it."

Wei Chen took out a Chaos Spirit Crystal the size of a millstone.

Wang Shu's expression changed instantly. How precious are Chaos Spirit Crystals? A single Chaos Spirit Crystal the size of a fist is worth more than two top-grade innate spiritual treasures.

Wei Chen actually produced a piece the size of a millstone.

This is truly an incredible feat.

“I have one more piece,” Wei Chen said with a smile.

He found this Chaos Spirit Crystal when he was just born, while the one he mentioned was given to him by Xuan Xin, and it was a full ten feet in size.

Wang Shu pursed her red lips, accepted the rest, keeping only the World-Destroying Black Lotus, and said, "I don't need it for now."

"Very well!" Wei Chen put away the World-Destroying Black Lotus and suddenly said with a wry smile, "It seems that even the starry sky is not safe now!"

Wang Shu frowned, secretly deduced the situation, and then said solemnly, "That's quite a determination."

She had already deduced the cause and effect: the ferocious beasts were about to launch a massive attack on the starry sky.

The number was extremely large, and also extremely terrifying.

There are ten Beast Kings, a million Beast Emperors, a hundred billion Beast Kings, and a total of over a trillion ferocious beasts.

There are also 10,000 Beast Kings, who are only slightly weaker than Beast Kings but much stronger than Beast Emperors.

"I'm afraid I can't help you."

Wei Chen was helpless. If his strength hadn't been suppressed by half due to causality, he could have at least blocked two or three Beast Kings. But now... he was powerless!

Wang Shu was well aware of Wei Chen's current situation and didn't place her hopes on him. She said solemnly, "I want to go!"

Wei Chen frowned, wanting to stop it but unable to find a reason. Because Wang Shu was the ancestor of the Taiyin Star, she couldn't possibly remain uninvolved.

"No rush. You've only just broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, so you can't unleash all its mysteries yet."

Wei Chen said in a deep voice, "The ferocious beasts will need three more Yuanhui to attack the Star Clan's territory. During this time, you should focus on comprehending the mysteries of the Great Luo."

"I wonder if the strongest beings of the primordial world will come to lend a hand," Wang Shu said calmly, a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

"Absolutely not." Wei Chen ruthlessly denied Wang Shu's wishful thinking.

"Why?" Wang Shu asked, puzzled.

“You!” Wei Chen shook his head and explained, “The strongest person who wanted to come is alone and has no power, so he would never dare to interfere.”

"Top-tier forces with real strength will definitely not come to help."

Wang Shu shook her head, indicating her confusion. The starry sky encompassed the entire prehistoric world; if it were to be conquered, it would be very detrimental to the major powers of the prehistoric world.

Given this situation, how could they not come? Wang Shu couldn't understand why they wouldn't come.

"Because this army of ferocious beasts is too powerful, and it came too suddenly!" Wei Chen explained, "The Star Clan encompasses the entire prehistoric world and possesses endless cultivation resources, making them extremely envious. However, the Star Clan is blessed with boundless great fortune, so even if they covet it, they dare not attack the Star Clan. In the end, it's all because of karma."

"But now it's different. With the Beast Clan's conquest, they wish the Beast Clan could conquer the Star Clan and fight to the death. This way, they would have a reason to send troops and divide up the starry sky together, and the karmic consequences would not fall on them."

Upon hearing this, Wang Shu's beautiful eyes flashed with anger, and her brows furrowed with a murderous intent.

"You should go out and gain more experience, instead of always staying on the Taiyin Star."

Wei Chen felt that Wang Shu was too naive and would inevitably be taken advantage of by others in the future.

Wang Shu pursed her lips and remained silent.

"Just focus on comprehending the mysteries of the Great Luo, don't overthink it, I'll take care of everything," Wei Chen comforted him.

"Mmm!" Wang Shu smiled, her clear eyes crinkling, her smile warm and friendly, radiating a heartfelt sense of peace and joy.

"Go!"

……

Wang Shu sat upright on the laurel tree, her appearance solemn and serene, focusing all her efforts on refining the Blood Marrow Law Crystal. Not only that, she also used her merits.

Merit is the ultimate treasure for cultivation, far surpassing Wei Chen's cheating tool, the Innate Dao Talisman, in terms of speed.

This is why all the major powers are so keen to win over various races and gods; it's all in order to enhance their own fortune and gain more merit.
