The Primordial War: The Symbol Emperor

"Sister Wangshu, please calm down. I didn't take it for nothing!" Zhuque said seriously to Wangshu with a solemn expression.

"Hmph..." Wang Shu snorted coldly, flicked her hair, and decided to ignore it.

"Sister, please don't act rashly. The Vermilion Bird Clan is of vital importance to the Star Clan, and we must not offend them," the Holy Mother of the North Star transmitted subtly.

Then he smiled warmly at Zhuque and said, "Fellow Daoist, please don't be offended. My sister has been living in seclusion and cultivating, and is not worldly-wise. Please forgive her."

The Holy Mother of the North Star was truly afraid that Wang Shu's words would offend the Vermilion Bird.

This is a tense time; the Star Clan needs the Vermilion Bird Clan's help.

If you anger the other party and cause Suzaku to harbor resentment, he may take the resources but not put in the effort.

The Star Clan would suffer heavy losses.

"Hehe!" Zhuque waved his hand and laughed, "Why would we cultivators care about such things?"

“However…” Zhuque changed the subject, speaking seriously to Wangshu. “You are probably more aware of the situation of the Star Clan than I am.”

He paused for a moment and then said, "Sister Wangshu has indeed given me a vast amount of resources, enough to cultivate 100,000 Great Luo Perfection cultivators, or even more, in a short period of time."

"But have you considered what if the ferocious beast race refuses to give up and insists on a fight to the death?" Zhuque said in a deep voice.

"Even if the ferocious beast race is willing to give up, my Vermilion Bird clan will surely be hated by all the top forces in the prehistoric world. Therefore, it is not excessive for me to take any more resources."

Upon hearing this, the expression of the Holy Mother of the North Star changed drastically.

Indeed, as Zhuque said, let's set aside the top powers of the primordial world for now.

If the ferocious beast race refuses to give up, then this great battle will inevitably be extremely brutal.

The Vermilion Bird Clan and the Star Clan suffered devastating losses, with at least half of their members perishing. This price is far greater than the resources they received.

Wang Shu also sensed the risk involved, and her expression turned equally grim. Just as she was about to apologize, Zhu Que interrupted her.

"Now that I have accepted your resources, I will not go back on my word," Suzaku said firmly and decisively. "You can rest assured, my Suzaku clan will do everything in our power!"

Wang Shu and Beichen Shengmu breathed a sigh of relief and were no longer so distressed about the resources they had invested.

"Thank you!" Wang Shu no longer disliked Zhu Que as much. Although Zhu Que was very greedy, the price she paid was much greater.

"No need!" Zhuque revealed a strange smile and asked, "How do you know Weichen?"

Wang Shu was taken aback, then frowned!

After a moment's thought, the Holy Mother of the Northern Star asked in return, "Was this fellow Daoist invited by Fellow Daoist Wei Chen?"

"That's right!" Zhuque nodded. If Weichen hadn't sent a message asking her to come, even if the Star Clan offered her all the resources within a hundred Yuanhui, Zhuque wouldn't have come.

After all, the risk is too great.

"So that's how it is!" the Holy Mother of the North Star exclaimed in realization.

Wang Shu frowned, pondered for a moment, and then angrily said, "Did Wei Chen give you a priceless treasure before you agreed to come?"

"Yes!"

"You..." Wang Shu's goodwill towards Zhu Que vanished without a trace in an instant.

He angrily retorted, "You came here just to demand more resources?"

"Yes!" Zhuque nodded with a smile, without the slightest embarrassment.

“Shameless…” Wang Shu gritted her teeth.

"The overall situation is of utmost importance," the Holy Mother of the North Star transmitted telepathically.

"In the primordial world, there has never been such a thing as shamelessness," Zhuque said calmly, still smiling. "If there truly is shamelessness, then I am absolutely no match for your beloved."

“You…” Wang Shu’s eyes turned cold, and he was about to draw his sword.

"Alright, little sister, calm down," the Holy Mother of the North Star scolded.

Although she was also angry about Suzaku's actions, in her opinion, Suzaku did nothing wrong.

In the primordial world, there is no such thing as shamelessness. As long as you are strong enough and ruthless enough, everything you do is right. The only ones who are wrong are the weak and the losers.

Wang Shu's eyes flickered with uncertainty. After hesitating for a while, she finally sat down angrily.

"Hehe!" Zhuque chuckled lightly. "Would you like to know how I met Weichen?"

"Hmph~" Wang Shu snorted coldly.

"How did you meet?" the Holy Mother of the North Star asked curiously. She was very interested in Wei Chen's past, because Wei Chen was truly extraordinary.

Among the strongest beings in the primordial world, who isn't selfish, treacherous, and cunning? They'd do anything to prove their Dao.

Wei Chen, however, went against the grain, making him a truly unique figure in the primordial world.

The Holy Mother of the North Star knew that Wei Chen had fought a great battle in the West, but knew nothing else about him.

Therefore, she was very curious about what kind of god this was!

“I have known Wei Chen for a long time and we have become allies,” Zhu Que said slowly.

"At that time, he was only a Taiyi Golden Immortal. Later, for some reason, he left the Vermilion Bird Clan. I hadn't seen him since then until three Yuanhui ago, when he sent me a message asking me to come and help him."

"Fellow Daoist, you are blessed with good fortune..." said the Holy Mother of the Northern Stars with envy. Why hadn't her Star Clan encountered such a supreme expert?

Over the years, she has made friends with powerful figures everywhere, but in the end, she has lost both resources and magical power. When it came to the crucial moment, none of them could be relied upon.

"Not as good as Sister Wangshu!" Zhuque shook her head. No one knew Weichen's wealth better than her; if someone followed him, their future would be smooth sailing.

Wang Shu remained silent, exuding an aura that kept people at a distance.

"How many treasures did Wei Chen give you?" Zhuque transmitted her voice to Wang Shu, her words tinged with intense jealousy. "Did he give you the Primordial Measuring Ruler?"

Zhuque had long coveted this treasure, but Weichen had never given it to her.

Wang Shu was startled, not expecting that Zhuque knew these things. The voice echoed, "Since you know Wei Chen's background, he must trust you greatly and you must have a very close relationship. Given such a friendship, why would you scheme against the Star Clan? Aren't you afraid he'll blame you?"

"He won't!" Seeing that she couldn't get any more information, Zhuque stopped asking and replied calmly.

The Star Palace fell silent for a moment.

Suzaku spoke up: "My purpose has been stated, and the interests have been agreed upon! Now it's time to discuss how to deal with the ferocious beast..."

…………

…………

Let's return our focus to Weichen.

"Alas~ There are always ants trying to harm this emperor!" Wei Chen gazed at the primordial land, pondered for a moment, and then disappeared into the great formation.

He wanted to orchestrate a plan, to make them understand what regret is.

Just like Rahu, the Underworld Emperor, and Judge Cui in the West, they not only failed to seize the treasure, but also lost their own treasures for proving their Dao.
