Chapter 9: A powerful figure from the primordial era requests an audience; the foundation of his hom
The arrival of the new emperor on the ancient star of the Primordial World has drawn numerous forces from the star to the Eastern Wilderness, all eager to pay homage to him.
In the Eastern Wilderness, a golden divine tree stands proudly between heaven and earth, radiating boundless golden light, magnificent and illuminating the vast land.
The Sun Tree reached to the heavens and the earth, surrounded by the sun, moon, and stars. Its abundant life essence overflowed, transforming into a vast, crimson-gold ocean that constantly nourished the Eastern Region, gradually restoring a sliver of life to the ancient, desolate star that was on the verge of its end.
Above the treetops stands a magnificent palace, where the yin and yang energies circulate, creating a chaotic mist that shrouds the palace, making it sacred and grand.
"Six hundred years have passed since their return, and the situation in the primordial world has deteriorated to such an extent. The Ancestral Court... truly has ruthless methods!"
Deep within the palace, Meng Chen sat on the throne of the Sun Emperor, his eyes slightly darkened, tinged with anger. His imperial might permeated the air, causing time and space to reverse and the universe to turn upside down.
In their struggle to claim the legitimacy of the First Emperor, the Ancestral Court has been suppressing the Primordial World both openly and covertly, leading to a deteriorating environment, shrinking cultivation resources, and even making the most basic essence of heaven and earth extremely thin.
Many ancient holy lands, great sects, imperial dynasties, and divine dynasties abandoned the ancient world and migrated to other life-originating planets due to changes in their cultivation environment.
Some holy land imperial families chose to live in seclusion.
Millions of years have passed, and on the surface, only the Taiyin and Taiyang lineages remain in the prehistoric world. There are very few powerful humans in the prehistoric world, and even the Great Sages are not necessarily among them.
Even during the six hundred years that Meng Chen was away, the Sun God Cult was infiltrated by the Ancestral Court, and its core was completely replaced. It was no longer the Holy Emperor's lineage it once was.
The Taiyin Temple was in no better condition; it had been thoroughly infiltrated and was now practically defunct.
The Ancestral Court no longer wants to erase the traces of the First Emperor in the prehistoric world; they want to completely destroy the ancient star!
Only in this way can the sole legitimacy of their ancestral temple be ensured.
"Ha... Ancestral Court, they really will stop at nothing to uphold the name of legitimacy."
"Emperor Qin Shi Huang, if you knew that the ancestral court you founded was about to destroy your homeland, and that all the ancient humans were cursing you behind your back, would you jump out of your coffin?"
Meng Chen sneered. When the First Emperor created the Ancestral Star and Ancestral Court, he originally intended to build a common holy land for the human race to protect the entire human race.
Ideals are lofty, but reality is harsh.
At first, the ancestral court did indeed do its best to consider the interests of the human race. However, as time went by, the ancestral court was no longer the same as before and became the biggest black hand that dominated and enslaved the human race.
Every life source star of the human race must make offerings to the ancestral court every hundred years. If any source star fails to make offerings, it will face the imperial judgment and holy punishment of the ancestral court.
Meng Chen tapped the imperial throne lightly with his fingers, temporarily setting aside the matter of the ancestral court and contemplating another matter.
The primordial world is his homeland, his origin, and also the place where his anger and hatred towards his ancestral home are most intense.
The vast majority of primordial beings genuinely hate the ancestral court. If only one powerful being takes the lead in initiating a group, they will join without hesitation.
Are kings and nobles born with special privileges? Why is your ancestral home so high and mighty?
Meng Chen decided to locate the Heavenly Court on the ancient star of the Primordial World. However, before that, he needed to bring back the ancient emperors and clean up the rats and cockroaches in the Primordial World.
In addition, the cultivation environment in the primordial world also needs to be renovated. With the current cultivation environment, it is difficult to even raise a few small fish and shrimp.
"Fortunately, we obtained this Sun God Tree in that immortal land; otherwise, even a Great Emperor would need quite a long time to transform a life-source planet."
Meng Chen sighed softly.
His transformation was no small matter. Since he had chosen the ancient star of the primordial world as the location of the Heavenly Court, he naturally had to carry out a thorough transformation, which required a massive amount of resources and a very long timeframe.
Fortunately, Meng Chen possessed a quasi-world tree, the Sun God Tree beneath him, which led him to discover an ancient immortal land.
The immortal land played a crucial role in his ability to attain emperorhood in just a thousand years.
As for the World Tree, it is the wedge that supports the universe and maintains the balance of all things; it is an indispensable element of a complete world.
Although the Sun Tree is only a quasi-world tree, it is more than enough to support the primordial world and save the ancient primordial star from a state on the verge of the end of Dharma.
Moreover, with the Sun God Tree balancing all the myriad paths, cultivators' understanding and cultivation of these myriad paths are much faster than those on other life-source planets.
Even on the ancestral planet where the ancestral court is located, there is no divine object like the World Tree.
"Hmm... Is it here?"
Sensing numerous faint auras approaching from all directions, Meng Chen realized that it was ancient cultivators coming to pay homage.
Before long, respectful voices rang out from outside the hall.
"The Queen Mother of the West, residing in the sacred Jade Pool, requests an audience with His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!"
"Feng Cangmang of Lei Ze Kingdom requests an audience with His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!"
"Yun Chenzi of the South Sea Immortal Island requests an audience with His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!"
"Fuxi, a member of the Fuxi Divine Clan, requests an audience with His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!"
"Jin Yunxiao of the Golden Crow Clan requests an audience with His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!"
"The Goddess of the Luo Clan requests an audience with His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!"
"Hua Qianrou of the Nuwa Clan requests an audience with His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor..."
Numerous forces from the primordial world, as well as those reclusive holy lands and imperial clans, have all arrived.
With a thought, Meng Chen opened the palace doors wide, and in the next moment, hundreds of figures flew into the palace.
Not all of them entered the hall; many others, though outwardly in the primordial form, were kept outside by those with the heart of the ancestral court.
Only half of those who entered the hall were from the primordial human race, while the other half were from ancient primordial races, such as the Leize, Fuxi God Clan, Luoshen Clan, and Wa Clan...
The leader of the human race was none other than the Queen Mother of the West from the sacred land of Yaochi, while the leader of the ancient race was the Fuxi clan.
The powerful beings of the primordial era landed and bowed deeply to the imposing figure seated on the imperial throne, respectfully saying:
"Greetings, Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!" ×N
Meng Chen lowered his eyes and said calmly, "No need for formalities."
Everyone stood up and looked up at that tall and imposing figure.
I originally thought there were no more powerful beings left on the ancient star, but now it seems that I drew that conclusion too early.
Meng Chen glanced at the powerful beings from the Primordial Era in the hall. There were three Quasi-Emperors alone, more than two Great Saints, and the rest were Saint Kings.
"It seems our primordial world has been hiding its true strength. No wonder those guys from the Ancestral Court haven't been able to take us down all these years."
Meng Chen's gaze fell on the three quasi-emperors, and he chuckled and teased them.
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother of the West of Yaochi, the Lord of Leize, and the God Lord Fuxi were all delighted. Sure enough, the new emperor and the ancestral court were not on good terms.
Before they even arrived, they had already investigated the new emperor's background. He was born into the Sun God Cult and had repeatedly killed ancestral court cultivators on the Starry Sky Ancient Road, clearly showing that he did not take the ancestral court seriously.
Now that he has become emperor, he certainly won't be like those previous emperors who would collude with the ancestral court.
The ancient planet desperately needs a great emperor.
The persecution by the ancestral court is already outrageous. I'm afraid that in less than five thousand years, the ancient star will enter the Dharma-ending Age and become a star devoid of spiritual energy.
Even without Meng Chen's appearance, the powerful beings of the ancient primordial star were prepared to destroy the ancestral court in order to seize a sliver of life for the primordial world...
