“The human race will be able to gain more elites more quickly if people can refine these divine fragments. But I’m afraid that the divinity in these divine fragments will bring negative effects to the human mind.”
Chu Kuangren whispered while fiddling with the divine fragments.
There was no doubt the human race could become new gods if they refined the divine fragments. However, that meant that their strength would be fixed.
Under the influence of divinity, these new gods would probably follow the current gods’ path to seek progress as times went by.
Putting the human race in captivity, reaping the power of faith, strengthening oneself – these were the reasons Chu Kuangren had been preventing the human race from refining the divine fragments all these years.
After all, humans and gods were two different kinds of existence.
“I shall keep these divine fragments and think about it later. Should I go back now?” Chu Kuangren took out the Venerable Spacetime God’s divine fragment.
As long as he had the divine fragment of the Venerable Spacetime God, he could then use the Timespace Treasure to open the river of time and return to the future.
“It’s time to start preparing for my return.”
Chu Kuangren mumbled. Once he left, and without his suppression, the gods would definitely come out to mess about. By then, all of the human race’s achievements would go to waste.
He had to do some preparations before leaving.
…
After the battle in the Godly Mountain, the gods were quiet and were seldom seen roaming Firmament Star.
In the meantime, the human race thrived under the leadership of Chu Kuangren.
Time flew by, and another two years were gone.
On this day.
Chu Kuangren stood on the top of a mountain. He had set up an enchanted boundary around him that even the Venerable Gods could not peep into this area.
“This city should be completed soon. It will be the first city of the human race.” A look of satisfaction shone in Chu Kuangren’s eyes as he looked at the city, which was under construction below the mountain.
Under Chu Kuangren’s leadership these years, the human race had stepped into the city-state era. Everywhere was under intensive construction.
Once these cities were built, the human race’s development would enter a new stage, where they would build a new country.
“It’s time for me to leave.”
Chu Kuangren whispered.
He took a deep breath. Three rays of light appeared above him and transformed into three souls that each sat on a lotus.
“I’ve been here for many years. I’m feeling a little reluctant to leave now,” said Chu Kuangren’s Heaven Soul.
The Fourth-Cycle Earth Soul, which he had been cultivating in the past two years, looked at the Heaven Soul and said indifferently, “We will keep watch here on your behalf.”
“Ha! Thank you, the both of you.”
The Heaven Soul said with a smile.
Chu Kuangren intended to return to the future.
However, before he left, he had cultivated the Earth Soul and intended to leave Hell Soul and Earth Soul here in this era.
As for him, who led the Heaven Soul, he would return to the future.
“We will meet in the future if it’s possible.”
“I don’t think it is. According to historical records, the Human King Cang and the King of Gods perished together during the battle in Kunlun Pool in immemorial times.”
The Heaven Soul said while lost in thought.
The Hell Soul and Earth Soul knew this too. “The future is unpredictable. Perhaps you’ll see a different future under our leadership when you return.”
“Don’t mess around. It’s difficult to guarantee that chaos won’t ensue in the future if a big change happens.” Heaven Soul frowned and said.
There were many things about the future that Chu Kuangren was concerned about.
He did not want anything to go wrong because of him.
“We understand.”
The Hell Soul & Earth Soul were also Chu Kuangren.
Hence, they knew Chu Kuangren’s concern.
“Well… I’ll make a move first.”
Chu Kuangren took out the Timespace Treasure and the divine fragment of the Venerable Spacetime God.
The mind powers of the three souls erupted at the same time.
The divine fragment of Venerable Spacetime God released a surge of majestic spacetime energy. Under the manipulation of his mind power, the energy continuously entered the Timespace Treasure.
Boom…
Strong fluctuation erupted in the void.
Almost half of the enchanted boundary that Chu Kuangren created blew up.
With that, a golden whirlpool appeared.
In the whirlpool was a long river that seemed to reflect the past and the present. Everything in the river was constantly changing.
“Farewell, the both of you.”
Chu Kuangren’s Heaven Soul smiled.
Then, his figure flashed into a ray of light and dived into the golden whirlpool.
Soon after, the Timespace Treasure and the golden whirlpool disappeared. The Hell Soul and Earth Soul looked at each other with sadness in their eyes.
“From now on, we are Cang.”
Both souls, who were also Cang, looked at the city under construction below the mountain and said that because they could not return to the future.
They had to stay here to lead the human race.
From now on, they could only live as Cang.
“Time heals all wounds. The future will be left in Heaven Soul’s hands.”
“Yes.”
Both the Hell Soul and Earth Soul vanished and returned to the physical body.
With a lift of Cang’s hands, majestic mind power exploded and shattered the enchanted boundary.
Not far away.
Greenie was approaching.
He had some doubts in his eyes when looking at Cang. He felt that his King was not quite the same, but he could not figure out the difference.
“King, Yan Wu and the rest are waiting for you to join their meeting.”
“Alright.”
Cang nodded slightly.
…
In the river of time.
Chu Kuangren was walking in it, with his Emperor Thought spread across the river, searching for the time node of when he traveled through time.
However, this river of time was very, very long.
Although Chu Kuangren’s Emperor Thought was strong, finding the exact time node was not easy.
Nonetheless, he saw the developments of the human race after he left.
In his absence, the Hell Soul and Earth Soul, who were also Cang, led the human race to prosperity, and the number of cultivators gradually increased.
The number of elites in the Antigod Pavillion was also on a rise.
The first Daoist Celestial even appeared.
“Not bad, me. That is quite a development.”
Chu Kuangren said.
However, ten thousand years later, the gods broke the hundred thousand years agreement and set off a war with the human race.
As such, Cang and the King of Gods went into a battle.
Both parties fell in the battle at Kunlun Pool in the immemorial times.
Before Cang lost, he used the Human King Seal to seal the entire Godly Mountain into the void. Hence, the King of Gods could not walk out from the mountain even if he was resurrected.
Despite that, there were still the Venerable Gods.
The human race fell into despair.
At this time, the strength that had been hidden in the human race and the appearance of the Antigod Pavillion encouraged the Great Panhuman Revolt.
The gods had never thought that under Cang’s leadership, the human race could produce more elites in just ten thousand years.
The gods were either killed or sealed… until there were no more gods on the face of the earth.
“The human race won.” Chu Kuangren could not help but lament as he witnessed the progress of the Great Panhuman Revolt in the river of time.
Before this, he had only seen records of the Great Panhuman Revolt in the ancient archives.
This time, he witnessed it, and it was a completely different feeling.
“It looks like there aren’t many changes in history. The Blood Tribe will invade after the Great Panhuman Revolt.
“The Hell Soul and Earth Soul have done their mission and led the human race to development. The future will be left to me.”
Chu Kuangren said.
He mobilized his Emperor Thought and searched for the time period before he traveled through time. During this process, he saw the development of the human race.
From archaic ancient times to past ancient times, then to recent ancient times…
Kingdoms changed, and orthodoxies carried on.
However, following the invasion of the Blood Tribe and the damage of the Heavenly Dao, Firmament Star stepped into the Era of Dharma’s End, where it was rare for cultivators to ascend successfully into Emperorhood…
