Five days later, in the Heavenly Palace's main hall, Sei Itō walked up to the stage under the watchful eyes of many Immortals. He wore a yellow embroidered robe with embroidered dragons, a crown with a beaded curtain on his head, and a crimson golden heavenly sword at his waist. He sat down on the throne that symbolized the Celestial Emperor's supremacy.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" At the same time, Li Mu, Feng Hou, and the other Immortals bowed in unison.
Almost at the same time, an enormous amount of the power of the world's favor, the faith of all people, and the reverence of all living beings descended from the heavens and projected onto Sei Itō's body. Under Sei Itō's control, the power of the Jade Seal of He Clan, the world of the Rubik's Cube, and Sei Itō himself received it.
Then, boundless divine light bloomed from Sei Itō's body. The light filled the entire hall and seeped into the hearts of all the Immortals, leaving behind a mighty figure that was as imposing as the heavens and the earth.
"Everyone, rise," Sei Itō said calmly as he raised his arm.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" the Immortals replied.
After that, the ceremony continued until about an hour later, when it finally ended. The Immortals left, leaving the Celestial Emperor to manage his own free time.
"You actually did it," a gentle voice sounded in Sei Itō's ear.
"It's all thanks to Her Majesty. If you hadn't tacitly agreed to all of this, I wouldn't have been able to ascend to the throne so easily," Sei Itō turned his head slightly and looked at the woman who had suddenly appeared in the hall. She was dressed in a beautiful emerald robe. She wore a phoenix hairpin on her head, and her face was graceful and elegant. The sacred and beautiful Nuwa smiled.
Just as he had said, if not for the fact that Nuwa hadn't shown up to stop him, he would have died. Sei Itō wouldn't have been able to ascend the throne so easily. After all, even though Nuwa didn't care about anything, she was still the Mother of All Spirits, the supreme Great Deity who had once mended the heavens and earth. Her prestige was so great that even the former Celestial Emperor himself had to show her some respect, let alone the other immortals and gods who ascended later. If she had really spoken up to stop Sei Itō from ascending the throne, Nuwa would have been killed. Even Li Mu and Feng Hou, who were loyal to the Yellow Emperor, had to consider the consequences. Should they take the risk of bringing disaster to the Immortal Realm and force Sei Itō?
"This is all because of your actions. If you hadn't given the people a happy life and hope back then, I definitely wouldn't have allowed you to become the Celestial Emperor," Nuwa said calmly.
"It is my honor to be recognized by you, Nuwa," Ito Sei said with a smile.
"From now on, I will wait and see. I hope you won't do anything that will disappoint me." After Nuwa finished speaking, she didn't wait for Sei Itō's reply. Her body immediately dispersed and turned into spiritual particles that filled the sky. They quickly melted into the surrounding Immortal Qi.
"Don't worry, I definitely won't disappoint you." Sei Itō smiled and said.
Then, he closed his eyes. Just like what he had told Nuwa before, he silently spread out his thoughts. He connected with the original spirit of creation that existed in this world …
…
"Bang!"
Following the explosion of a thick silver-white beam of light, Sei Itō's figure appeared in the sky.
"Phew, another long journey has ended." Sei Itō let out a long sigh.
Then, he turned around. He returned to his room and lay on his bed without caring about his image. He closed his eyes and rested.
He slept for almost an entire day. It wasn't until the evening of the second day that he woke up again.
"Speaking of which. It's time to settle my grudge with Tenshou and the others. " After sitting on the bed for a while, Sei Itō's eyes flashed coldly. He muttered to himself, "But before that, I still have to go to Shennongjia to take a look. The last time I came back, I was in a rush and didn't have the time to check out the situation there. This time, I have to go and check it out no matter what."
Thinking of this, Sei Itō didn't hesitate. His figure flashed and disappeared from the room. The next moment, he appeared in the sky above the forest near Shennongjia.
"Hiss, what a dense evil aura!" Ito Sei, who was looking at Shennongjia, saw the majestic black gas rising into the sky from Shennongjia as if it was going to cover this part of the world. His face couldn't help but change slightly.
Especially in the center of the evil aura, there was a terrifying aura that made Sei Itō's heart palpitate. It was so dangerous that it made Sei Itō instinctively erase his thoughts of exploring it.
"Looks like after that day, something terrible happened in Shennongjia." Sei Itō muttered softly.
Then, his figure flashed and he appeared in the neighboring city of Shennongjia.
However, at this time, the cities that were originally desolate but still inhabited were completely devoid of people. No, it couldn't be said that they were devoid of people. It was just that these people who were called humans were very different from the original humans. Their bodies were black, their eyes were white, and their bodies were overflowing with evil energy. They looked like evil spirits.
Apart from these demons who might or might not even be considered humans, there were only a large number of clay soldiers and Shennongjia barbarians with long and thick red hair in the city. They were all running around freely as if they were walking in their own territory.
"Does this count as being occupied?" Sei Itō was a little speechless.
Then, with a wave of his hand, a demon with a pitch-black body was immediately brought before him. He activated his mental power and pierced into the demon's mind, using the Soul Searching Technique to forcibly read the memories in the demon's mind.
Through this method, Sei Itō roughly understood what happened after he and Xing Tian left this world.
As it turned out, not long after he and Xing Tian were swallowed by the space loophole caused by the competition, there was no telling what the Cultivators who had broken into the pyramid had done, but a stream of overwhelming black smoke had spurted out of the pyramid. Like the enormous smoke that was pushed out by a volcanic eruption, it almost covered the entire sky of Shennongjia in the blink of an eye and was still spreading to the surrounding forests and towns without slowing down.
Then, under the shroud of this black cloud, the humans in the city began to mutate. First, their minds became sluggish. Their reactions to the outside world became sluggish. Then, their bodies turned black. However, his strength had increased exponentially, and his skin had also become abnormally tough. Ordinary kitchen knives could only leave a white mark on their bodies at most, and they wouldn't be able to get any closer. In the end, they would become what Ito Sei saw now.
Then, five or six days later, the group of clay soldiers and red-haired savages charged out of the forest and attacked the cities and towns. They took in this group of mutated humans and used a method that Sei Itō didn't understand for the time being to train them into soldiers. They continued to march outside.
As for the rest, the demon who stayed in the town because he needed to move materials didn't remember anything else.
But speaking of materials, the demon also didn't know the specific functions of these materials. However, from the demon's memories, Sei Itō found that many clay soldiers would appear in the town every once in a while. He could roughly deduce that those materials were used to make the clay soldiers. And the ones who made them were the red-haired savages who stayed in the town.
"As expected, these red-haired savages also have a civilization." Sei Itō muttered to himself.
Then, with a shake of his wrist, a purple-green flame ignited in the center of his palm, burning the demon into ashes.
"Roar!" Even though he was very fast, the red-haired savages still caught his attention. However, the sudden fire still attracted the attention of the red-haired savages in the town. One of the red-haired savages even let out a deafening roar towards Ito Sei with a ferocious face!
In the next moment, the clay soldiers in the town began to gather. They ran towards Sei Itō's location.
"Tsk, I'm not in the mood to play with you right now." Sei Itō curled his lips and then his figure flashed. He disappeared from his original spot and appeared in another town in the next moment.
The result was the same as the previous town. It was also in a state of collapse, with a large number of black demons filling the town.
Seeing this, Sei Itō didn't stop. He continued to move outwards … … .After a few times, he finally found a town that hadn't fallen yet. But from the looks of it, it wasn't too far off.
Large numbers of humans were slaughtered by the almost invulnerable Fey and lifeless Mud Golem Warriors. The humans who had awakened and obtained superpowers, as well as the hidden Cultivators, were found by the red-haired Savages using a special method. They split up and intercepted, not allowing them to cause trouble in the battlefield of normal humans.
Moreover, Ito Sei also noticed that the strength of this group of red-haired savages had improved since he left. Each of them had the strength of A-level. This allowed them to still have the absolute upper hand in the face of the huge number of human practitioners. They could suppress and kill them!
"Should I say, as expected of a chaotic world … …" Sei Itō was speechless as he looked at everything below.
Then, Sei Itō pointed his arm downwards. A bright ball of light that was as hot as a second sun suddenly appeared in the sky. Then, under the shocked gazes of the humans and red-haired savages, it turned into a meteor and fell rapidly into the crowd of demons and clay soldiers below.
"Boom!"
In an instant, a dazzling light flashed and a blazing white holy flame erupted. In the blink of an eye, it covered an area of a few miles and burned fiercely. In just an instant, tens of thousands of pitch-black demon men and thousands of clay soldiers were burned into nothingness. The ground began to crystallize, and under the illumination of the remaining sunlight of dusk, it refracted a gorgeous multicolored light.
"A powerful being has come to save us. Everyone, kill!" After the initial shock and astonishment, a practitioner who had recovered from his shock hurriedly shouted with a face full of excitement.
"Kill!" Hearing this, the others immediately regained their senses. They excitedly clashed with the red-haired barbarians that they thought to be incomparably powerful.
In mid-air, Sei Itō who had noticed the changes of the humans below smiled lightly. He waved his hand and sprinkled a five-colored thunderbolt. With a rumbling sound, it shot down like rain. It was as if they had eyes, accurately landing on each and every one of the red-haired barbarians, turning them into charred corpses.
In less than half a minute, all the red-haired savages in the city were completely killed by Sei Itō's five-element thunderbolt. Then, many human powerhouses rushed into the crowd and assisted the humans in killing the remaining demons and clay soldiers.
More than half an hour later, the entire battle came to an end.
"May I know which powerful being has come? Please show yourself so that we juniors can express our gratitude." Just when the other ordinary people were cleaning up the battlefield under the command of some people who seemed to be officers, many cultivators and awakened people flew halfway and bowed to the sky as they spoke loudly.
With a flash, Sei Itō who suddenly appeared in front of the cultivators and supers said faintly, "There's no need for that. You just need to tell me what's going on."
"You're a senior?" Perhaps it was because Sei Itō's appearance was too young and did not look like those 'seniors' who had white hair and long beards that they had seen before. The leading man among the cultivators subconsciously asked in disbelief.
"Why don't you believe me?" Sei Itō frowned.
"I wouldn't dare," the man's heart skipped a beat as he quickly shook his head and said. He had heard that this group of seniors was not very reasonable. If they did not handle it well, they might turn a good thing into a bad thing.
"Tell me what's going on," Sei Itō turned his head to look at the charred corpses and demon corpses that were being carried away and asked faintly.
"Senior, you don't know?" The leader asked with a strange expression.
"Should I know?" Sei Itō asked casually.
"… These savages and terracotta soldiers are monsters from Shennongjia. However, according to the savages themselves, they're the subordinates of the Fire Emperor Yu Wang. They're here to rebuild the country for the Fire Emperor. As for the black-skinned demon corpses, they're humans. However, they've become like this because of the witchcraft spell cast by the priests of the savages. Apart from having extraordinary strength and being invulnerable to swords and spears, there's also witchcraft poison on their fingertips and teeth. Those who've been injured by them have been passed on to others. Therefore, with the advance of these red-haired savages, the number of these demon people has also increased, becoming stronger and stronger. They have already become a huge threat to the Sichuan region! "The leading man was startled when he heard this, and then he bitterly laughed in his heart, and then he explained.
"What about those cultivators? Didn't they do anything?" Sei Itō frowned and asked again.
"They did. There were even Immortals who personally went to the Shennongjia to eliminate the evil. However, it seems like they didn't even get to see the main culprit before they were killed by a golden light. As for the rest, they were either injured by the priests of the red-haired savages with witchcraft spells or torn in half by the experts of the red-haired savages. Gradually, they became like this … It can be said that if it weren't for you, the people in this city would have had to retreat or die in battle," the leading man said with a bitter smile.
