New Calendar Year 1051.
The entire Twelve Ancestral Witch Countries had been embroiled in a great war for nearly two hundred years.
Although Emperor Chu's power had reached its peak, unfortunately, the Sun Golden Crow beasts of that island had cultivation at the extreme, adorned with countless radiant feathers, with a never-ending supply of energy, terrifying to the utmost.
Despite his might, Emperor Chu could not overcome this fearsome beast.
This became a lingering concern for the Celestial Emperor, and every ten years, he journeyed to the island to challenge the formidable beast.
These two supreme beings of the era had reached an unimaginable realm, their presence so powerful that it crushed everyone in their path, devastating mountains, boiling seas, collapsing the heavens and the earth—all to the utmost horror.
Yet, once again, as Emperor Chu returned heavily injured, he had an epiphany.
"I, though having reached the seventh realm of the Ancestral Witch, with a strong flesh body, am ultimately mediocre, not proficient in magic skills, and relying solely on physical combat, it is difficult to defeat this beast!"
"How lamentable that a mere beast devoid of wisdom cannot be vanquished by me!"
He had lived for eight hundred years, just over half of his expected lifespan.
However, with years of battling the Golden Crow, his injuries had accumulated, and now he felt exhaustion coursing through his body, with hidden injuries surfacing.
He could not help but lament, certain things were beyond man's control,
"How laughable! I once vowed to unite the world, making the Twelve Ancestral Witch Countries the champions of this era, ascending to the heavens with the power of an entire nation, reopening the world, witnessing the scenery beyond the domains, yet..."
At the peak of the Ancestral Witch Divine Palace, Emperor Chu walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, letting out a bitter laugh,
"I am unwilling!"
"In that case, I have no choice but to use mysterious and evil skills to defeat that beast!"
The following hundred years passed quite peacefully.
The world had an unrivaled emperor suppressing the era, causing the Twelve Countries to enjoy peace and prosperity.
Yet, amidst this prosperity, there remained a giant Golden Crow beast that, at intervals, emerged from the ocean surface like a sunrise, invading the Ancestral Witch continent and preying upon the citizens of various cities.
—In the space between heaven and earth, there existed a Sun Disaster Beast, preying upon myriad races!
Despairing speculation arose that the once hot-blooded ruling Celestial Emperor had abandoned the effort to slay the beast, allowing it to ravage his subjects unchecked.
Until thirty years later.
Again, the Golden Crow struck, leaving devastation in its wake.
"Fiend! Today, I will utterly destroy you!"
A roar echoed from the sky.
All the suffering Ancestral Witch citizens looked up to see a towering figure, stepping forth into the world.
He possessed the legs of the Long-legged Country's people, the arms of the Long Arm Country's people, and the divine techniques of every nation, forming the body of a War God, tall and mighty, with endless blasts of energy, rising to meet the heavens, charging straight into the sky!
Woooo!!
The Golden Crow, a mere savage bird-beast with little wisdom, happened to inherit the skin of a certain ancient entity and could insert a few Immortal Herbs there.
At this moment, the beast felt a strong sense of impending doom.
It was about to flee.
"Stay put!"
Emperor Chu's expression was icy, his intent to kill resolute, stepping steadily through the air,
"Today, I will slay you, eradicate this Disaster Beast, and restore a scene of peace for my Twelve Ancestral Witch Countries, allowing the Swallowing Wind and Eating Qi Witch Ancestor Nation to completely flourish and prosper!"
He had always harbored a grand ambition.
This ambition had followed him since his youth to this day.
Standing in such a position, as the savior unifying the Witch Race under heaven, how could he still allow his enemy to attack his people?
Would the Swallowing Wind and Eating Qi Country be oppressed and lose its dignity to a mere savage beast??
Boom!
Emperor Chu pursued the giant beast all the way into the deep sea.
Everyone watching was moved by the scene.
Was this the current Celestial Emperor, completely reverting to their ancestors?
After all, according to ancient legends, the Twelve Ancestral Witch Countries were formed from the body of the Witch Ancestor, into twelve parts.
The current Chu Tiange possessed the traits of all races, appearing as if the true ancient Witch Ancestor had manifested, wielding a giant axe to strike the gilded giant bird.
No one could see the details of the battle.
Some attempted to set sail, only for the ocean to surge, forming tsunamis that capsized the waves!
Some took up telescopes, using witchcraft techniques to gaze, only to see thick clouds and shooting lasers in the sky!
Very soon, people saw fragments of sand and trees washed ashore, and sharp-eyed fishermen immediately recognized what it was.
Fishermen exclaimed in shock, "These are remnants of the island, the island has been shattered!"
The battle was vast and astonishing.
And that night, a bald head resembling a camel, covered in blood, was brought back by this unparalleled emperor, "I have slain the beast!"
His long hair, draping over his shoulders, danced wildly in the sky, appearing like a godlike ancient War God.
"The Great Emperor, has ascended to dominate the world!"
"A new era is destined to unfold!"
"Historian, quickly record, after four hundred years of suffering, today we have finally eliminated the demon!"
Instantly, the entire land erupted in cheers.
A month later.
Emperor Chu set foot on Fairy Island, arriving at this legendary land, and saw the Tree of Life.
The number of the Tree Elf race here had already become extremely scarce.
The Tree of Life was used as a beast's nest by the giant Golden Crow, and these forest tree elves were treated as servants.
Under the tree was a bronze statue of a god, with two bronze statues of Immortal Herbs at its feet, long corroded with rust, weathered by hundreds of years of wind and rain.
Chu Tiange gazed at this scene with deep sentiment, as he finally arrived at this legendary land. Ages had passed; this prehistoric relic reportedly saw the rise of a great heroic civilization that defied the heavens, boasting wise ancient Great Witches who pursued truth, innovation, and freedom, defying heaven...
In that era, they engaged in the most brutal battles, fighting against demons, defying heaven, and finally saw the sky.
"And today, I have finally united the world and set foot on a new journey!" He laughed, but couldn't help coughing up blood, his face pale as death,
"Ten thousand years is too long; I can't wait any longer. I don't seek immortality, only to leave my name in history!"
His lifespan was already running out.
He used evil skills, killed the strongmen of eleven countries to take a limb, using himself as a human-shaped Dantian, piecing together a blood and flesh armor to defeat the enemy.
Admittedly, he might eventually defeat the opponent outright if he cultivated for another three or four hundred years.
But by then, he would be too old, of what use would it be?
This era...
Was ultimately too primitive, needing accumulation.
He couldn't wait any longer.
He wanted to defeat this giant beast in his prime and see the prosperous world outside!
"I also want to see the sights outside; what others can do, can't I?"
With a cold laugh, he swung his sleeve fiercely and left the island.
...
...
Meanwhile, outside the world, Zhu Zhengwei was dining in a cafeteria.
Seeing this scene, he felt very helpless.
"That civilization indeed set a good precedent, perhaps the backbone and spirit of a civilization are continuously inherited, stemming from faith."
As he queued, it was finally his turn, "Auntie, a drumstick, Kung Pao chicken, and a stir-fried black wood ear with pork, please."
He carried his tray, laughing and chatting with two roommates as they sat down.
Just like Xia Country's five thousand years of history on Earth, the spirits of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, governance philosophy, inherited generation after generation, all originated because the earliest Saints established a hundred schools of philosophy and set Saint's works as foundational thoughts.
...
New Calendar 1102.
Emperor Chu incorporated the world's islands under his rule, achieving complete unification of the entire world.
From then on, the world of the Witch uncovered a brand-new era!
Yet, Emperor Chu discovered a new barbarian continent far away, inhabited by various uncivilized ancient Beastmen living tribal and agrarian lives.
Even as powerful as he was, intermittent rests were necessary as he crossed the vast sea, flying for over a month to reach that world.
"I defeated an enemy, but did not expect such a vast world outside!"
He was greatly astonished, "I only conquered one mountain, only to find an even taller one!"
After all, the world's map had already expanded five to six times.
New continents had also formed around it.
Even, with this update of the world, the Wu Wu continent had already become a planet.
However, this planet was relatively small, only the size of Earth's Asia, with the ocean accounting for most, occupying 70% of the area.
"But that vast world, I no longer have time to conquer it." He looked up, his heart filled with infinite pride, "I want to see what's in the sky!!"
"Since the people call me the living Ancestral Witch, then I will imitate the old Ancestral Witch and open up heaven and earth once more."
Seated on the throne, brazen and bold, he embraced the empress, overlooking the rivers and mountains as he addressed his ministers.
Chu Tiange, the man who carried the civilization of the entire Ancestral Witch Kingdom, pushed for the great unification of the world, saving the Witch Race from fire and water, spurred world reform, earning him the respect of being called the Yin Yang Emperor Ancestor.
The world never understood why he lived so aggressively, paying any price to do so.
But he was just so reckless, so carefree and joyous.
"Let's go, on to conquer the heavens."
Taking a large number of Immortal Herbs, he and numerous ministers boarded giant flying birds, beating their wings straight into the sky, "Ten thousand years is too long, the moment is what counts!"
He embraced his childhood sweetheart.
In the wild winds, he pierced straight through the clouds.
He only vaguely remembered that in the most despairing years of his life, a joking yet profoundly meaningful conversation resurfaced in his mind.
"You were dismissed from marriage, and your Dantian shattered, an inch or two of flesh, it's nothing serious." That person laughed and said.
"Someone like you is destined to be destiny's protagonist, don't be too sad, the river east for thirty years, the river west for thirty years, don't look down on young poverty."
"What is destiny's protagonist?"
"Hehehe, such protagonists generally have a common trait, they act on their own will, seek a life of freedom, battle the strongest enemies, drink the strongest wines, sleep with the most beautiful people, protect those they care about, level up step by step, and explore a broader world."
The words of the past struck like thunder through his mind.
Chu Tiange looked at the sky; his life's journey had been one of carefree and joyous freedom, marrying the one he loved most, doing what he loved most, earning the admiration of millions, only missing the last scene to achieve completion.
"With life like this, what more could one ask for?" he laughed heartily.
But today, he would break through this sky completely and see the scenery outside, or how else to be considered an unparalleled mighty Mythical Emperor.
