This primordial world is not serious!

Chapter 1128 - 518: Three Thousand Demon Gods; Advancing the True Realm Together [9k]

The flames of war in the Deep Chaos rage ever more fiercely.

The battlefield of the Da Luo stretches from the present to the past and future; every drop in the Space-Time River could be a silhouette of a universe's birth and destruction.

The battle reports from the frontlines, like flakes of snow, fly into the Chen Capital, each recording heart-stopping clashes and tragic sacrifices.

As the Supreme Commander of the Human Dao Alliance, Shao Hao spends less and less time in the Chen Capital.

More often, he appears on the dangerous frontlines of the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, clad in Golden Virtue Armor and wielding the Holy Dao Sword.

Sometimes, he fights alongside the gods of the Taiwei Heavenly Court, playing the supreme melody, orchestrating the chapter of order, purifying worlds corrupted by Demon Gods.

Other times, he personally leads the elite forces of the Human Dao, like a sharp golden blade, piercing straight into the enemy's heart, slashing powerful avatars of the Chaos Demon Gods.

The renown of the "Golden Heaven Clan," through the tempering of war, grows louder, becoming a banner that never falls in the Primordial camp.

When the Emperor leads in battle, the rear cannot be without a leader.

The young Zhu Xiu took on the great responsibility of governing the Mortal World.

Before heading to the front line at one time, Shao Hao solemnly handed the Human Emperor Seal to the already grown young Zhu Xiu in front of representatives of the Ten Thousand Races.

"Zhu Xiu." Shao Hao's eyes were filled with trust and expectation as he patted Zhu Xiu's shoulder and spoke deeply.

"I originally wished for you to have a lighthearted and happy youth."

"However, if the Chaos Demon Gods are not eliminated, the Primordial True Realm cannot be at peace."

"During the time I am away, I entrust all political affairs of the Human Realm to you."

"Rest assured, my Lord."

Zhu Xiu received the heavy Jade Seal, bowed solemnly.

"As a student, I will not fail the entrusted task and will guard our Human Dao Foundation."

From then on, the young Crown Prince began his first experience in "overseeing the nation" and governance in his life.

Initially, many elder ministers of the Human Race and tribal leaders of the Ten Thousand Races harbored some doubts toward this young acting Common Lord.

After all, governing such a vast Human Dao Alliance requires abundant experience and mature wisdom, not a young man's passion and ideals.

Yet, Zhu Xiu quickly dispelled everyone's doubts with his composure and foresight, far beyond his age.

His manner of handling political affairs was entirely different from Shao Hao's.

If Shao Hao's governance style was akin to a harmonious and beautiful melody, seeking the resonance of all things, inclusive and tolerant,

then Zhu Xiu's style was like a precise chessboard, seeking logical rigor, order, and prohibition.

Every day, he sat in the Human Emperor Hall, facing a mountain of memorials and complex ethnic disputes, never rushing to make decisions.

He would always quietly listen to the demands of all parties, then consult all the related dossiers, sorting out the context, every link, and every detail clearly and without omission.

His every decree was like a chess move—precise, composed, and beyond question.

His policies, though they might affect certain groups' interests in the short term, proved invariably to be the most beneficial choices for the entire Human Dao Alliance in the long run.

Under his governance, the allocation of resources within the Human Realm became more efficient than ever before.

The logistics of grain, armor, and elixirs from the rear to the front lines never experienced any delay or error.

Everything operated like a precise instrument, running smoothly and orderly.

Shao Hao, at the front line, would often praise to the generals at his side:

"With Zhu Xiu in the rear, I am without worry!"

Apart from governance, Zhu Xiu's greatest enjoyment was with his two close friends—Chong and Li, exploring the Great Dao and deducing the future together in the Book Collection Pavilion of the Imperial City Academy.

Dean Xuan Turtle was their best guide.

"Let me see, where does this great burden Zhu Xiu bears truly lie?" Since entering the world, Xuan Turtle no longer sought his own fate.

But when idle, he would still observe others' fates.

In the depths of the Space-Time River, on the battlefield of the Da Luo, laws shattered, and the Great Dao wailed.

Yet, upon this chaotic and destructive canvas, there also bloomed the most radiant holy light, showcasing undying glory.

Three Daoists, with auras fathomless as the sea, as if merged with the Great Dao, stood in a formation of three talents at the key temporal nodes of the past, present, and future, overseeing the entire battlefield.

When the Demon Gods launched their frenzied attack, Xuanqing and the others instead withdrew from the battlefield.

They no longer acted easily.

But their mere presence, like three pillars holding the sky, firmly pinned the precarious temporal foundation of the Primordial True Realm, preventing the top Chaos Demon Gods from advancing a single step.

Suddenly, Taishang, who had been meditating with eyes closed, slowly opened those eyes that seemed to contain endless Dao Virtue and nature.

He glanced at a certain universe where the battle was particularly fierce; there, several Primordial Dao Masters were precariously besieged by more than a dozen Chaos Demon Gods of the same rank.

He lightly flicked the horsetail whisk in his hand.

A Mysterious and unfathomable Tai Chi Diagram flashed into the void, instantly crossing endless space-time to appear on that battlefield.

The Golden Bridge spanned the sky, stabilizing earth, water, fire, and wind.

The flow of Yin Yang Qi encapsulated those dozen or more arrogant Chaos Demon Gods into the Diagram; despite their world-shattering divine skills, they could not advance a single step beyond the Thunder Pool.

"Daoists, retreat quickly." Taishang's gentle and calm voice reached the ears of the near-calamity Primordial Dao Masters.
