This primordial world is not serious!

Chapter 1122 - 517: Gathering of the Demon Gods; Uplifting the True Realm Together

"In the era of Shao Hao from the Golden Heaven Clan, it was a golden age of order and harmony."

"With the sharpness of Golden Virtue, he rectified the Universe; with the grandeur of the Phoenix, he united the myriad nations."

"The Ten Thousand Races Code spread like a golden net, covering every inch of the Human Realm, ending conflicts and enabling trade."

"The strength of the Human Dao Alliance achieved remarkable victories on the Chaos Battlefield, its fame spreading far and wide."

"The entire Primordial World was immersed in an atmosphere of stability and prosperity, a tranquil age like a melodious and harmonious symphony."

"At this time, Shao Hao was also anticipating the emergence of a new successor."

"The candidate appeared quickly."

"Ruoshui Divine Country."

"The King Chang Yi had a chance encounter with the daughter of the Shushan Clan—Chang Pu."

"They fell in love and became a couple."

"Chang Pu carried the pregnancy for ten months and eventually gave birth."

"On the day of birth, celestial signs appeared."

"It wasn't auspicious clouds covering the sky, nor was it thousands of auspicious energies, but instead the entirety of the Ruoshui region rose silently by three feet."

"The water was as dark as ink, deep and unfathomable, yet unusually warm, not submerging anything, rather making the lands on both sides more fertile and nourishing."

"A baby boy was born amidst the mysterious water."

"He was different from the start, with a wide forehead and deep-set eyes, not crying nor fussing, only opening his deep black eyes like an abyss, curiously observing this new world."

"His father Chang Yi was overjoyed and named him—Zhu Xiu."

"The birth of Zhu Xiu soon reached the Imperial City."

"Human Dao Lords Shao Hao heard the news and smiled gently."

"He put down the code he was reviewing and said to the Immortal Official beside him:

'Prepare the carriage, accompany me on a trip to Ruoshui.'"

"He knew that the child who would inherit his legacy and usher in a new era had arrived."

"Shao Hao personally came to the banks of Ruoshui, holding the infant still in swaddling clothes."

"When his fingers touched Zhu Xiu, he felt that distinct yet originating from the same source Human Dao Fortune."

"It was the profound virtue of mysterious water, serene like the deep sea, calm yet containing infinite power."

"'Good child.' Shao Hao gently praised, he tied his Phoenix Jade Pendant around Zhu Xiu's neck."

"From that day on, Zhu Xiu's growth was constantly under Shao Hao's watch and protection."

"Shao Hao did not bring him into the Chen Capital, tying his nature in the palace's tedious etiquette."

"He chose a more gentle approach to educate this future successor."

"Zhu Xiu, the young emperor of Shao Hao, forsook his lute and harp."

"In Zhu Xiu's childhood memories, the Human Dao Lords worshipped by the Ten Thousand Races resembled more of a gentle and loving older brother."

"Shao Hao would set aside heavy state affairs, often coming to the banks of Ruoshui to accompany this child."

"He ceased to play the grand symphony containing Golden Virtue order that could make all creatures submit."

"He put down his lute and harp, only using the simplest leaves to play crisp and pleasant nursery rhymes."

"Or use pebbles from the roadside to draw the trajectory of sun, moon, and stars on the ground, telling Zhu Xiu about the vastness and wonder of the Primordial World."

"Under Shao Hao's deliberate cultivation, Zhu Xiu's childhood was filled with carefree happiness."

"He wasn't prematurely burdened with the heavy responsibility as the emperor's heir but grew freely among the mountains and waters."

"He could chase colorful shells barefoot on the river beach or lie on the grass listening to Shao Hao recounting the stories of heroes on the Chaos Battlefield."

"Like previous Human Dao Lords, Zhu Xiu also exhibited extraordinary talent in music."

"He could understand the sound of the wind, the melody of water, and even the faint 'heavenly music' emitted by stars moving in the night sky."

"He blended these sounds into his songs, composing pure and profound tunes that could calm restless beasts and revive barren land."

"Growing up with Zhu Xiu were two equally outstanding prodigies among the Human Race."

"One was a youth from the Jiuli Clan, named 'Chong.'

"He was tall, silent, possessed eyes that could penetrate the essence of things, and naturally resonated with all forces of heaven and earth."

"The other was also a youth from the Jiuli Clan, named 'Li.'

"He was open and passionate, full of endless vitality and leadership charm, always surrounded by a group of peers."

"Chong and Li were personally selected by Shao Hao from the Jiuli Clan as Zhu Xiu's study companions and close friends."

"He hoped that the future Common Lord would not be an aloof monarch but a leader with deep friendship, understanding cooperation, and trust."

"Shao Hao poured the same effort into teaching these three children, carefully instructing them."

"He taught them literacy, military strategy, and how to love this land and every creature living on it."

"When the three children grew up and needed a teacher to lead them to glimpse a higher level of the Great Dao, Shao Hao expended great effort."

"He ultimately turned his gaze towards the North Sea."

"'There is an ancient and wise existence most suitable to become their teacher.'"

"'The question is whether he can be persuaded.'

"He personally wrote a letter, which did not mention any deals regarding power and interest, only one sentence."

"'Daoist, would you not like to try, leveraging the power of Human Dao Merit, to transcend the Dao?'"

"That letter turned into a golden Phoenix, traversed over myriad waters and mountains, finally landing deep in the North Sea, on a continent that had not moved for countless millions of years."
