Three Sovereigns of the Human Realm

Jiang Che had been forcibly installed in the position of the Demon Ancestor, revered to the highest degree by countless demons of the Demon Realm.

After all, the Demon Realm held the lowest status among the Three Realms. The Human Realm, for instance, boasted the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, with each of the Three Sovereigns having reached the realm of Supreme Immortal Emperor. The Celestial Realm also nominally housed two Supreme Immortal Emperors. But the Demon Realm... didn’t possess a single one.

Jiang Che’s sudden emergence gave countless demon cultivators reason to stand tall. From now on, when they encountered scoundrels from the Celestial or Human Realms, they no longer had to hang their tails between their legs and cower.

“Demon Ancestor... is it tasty? Your concubine has plenty more, you know!”

This awkward dialogue was truly awkward indeed.

The Enchantress Demon Emperor sat beside Jiang Che, holding a tray of celestial fruits. She peeled and fed them to him bite by bite. But there was one problem: she was over two meters tall, and though Jiang Che was hardly short at 1.8 meters, before the Enchantress Demon Emperor, he still looked like a little loli.

However, though Jiang Che lacked height compared to the Enchantress Demon Emperor, his hardware more than made up for it. Though an analogy might say a vocational school graduate doesn’t match a university graduate, Jiang Che certainly wasn’t a vocational school dropout. He had scored 748 out of 750 on his college entrance exam.

By comparison — a goblin!

Jiang Che stretched lazily.

Back in the Primordial Chaos World, he hadn’t lived a life of abstinence, but he simply hadn’t found a woman who caught his eye. Jiang’s standards were sky-high. Having truly seen countless beauties and possessed nearly every type of gorgeous woman, he was now beginning to drift toward more niche tastes.

For instance, he found the Heavenly Horse Evil Venerable from the Evil Spirit Realm somewhat handsome, as well as the little nun from the Western Paradise mentioned by Alchemist Immortal Emperor, and now the towering Enchantress Demon Emperor before him.

“Demon Ancestor, your majesty’s fearsome reputation has spread across all Three Realms. Countless cultivators in the human world tremble in fear of your might...” The Enchantress Demon Emperor snuggled up beside Jiang Che, her eyes full of affection and admiration. Women were drawn to strength, and a Demon Emperor woman even more so!

What’s more, even her current cultivation had been personally elevated to Immortal Emperor realm by Jiang Che. Her loyalty to him was absolute. She had never even dreamed that she could capture the Demon Ancestor’s favor.

Her status within the Demon Realm had skyrocketed. She had become the one below only the highest, the fact that even the other twelve veteran Demon Emperors had to bow down and serve her.

She now enjoyed the reputation of being the Demon Realm’s Empress.

Jiang Che simply propped one hand on his cheek, leaning on the couch.

At this point in time, it clearly wasn’t yet the era when Ji Qingyi and Mo Shangxie would appear.

And Jiang Che was curious about something. According to the causal framework of time, he was fated to eventually meet Mo Shangxie and Ji Qingyi and take them as disciples.

But if he was stuck hanging around the Demon Abyss every day and never left, would those two disciples still deliver themselves to his doorstep?

...

“Demon Ancestor! One of the Human Realm’s Three Sovereigns, Fu Xi, has arrived!”

A Demon Emperor rushed to speak, appearing before Jiang Che with panic written across his face.

The Human Emperor Fu Xi was a Supreme Six-Calamity Immortal Emperor, an ultimate being who had fused with the vessel of the Way. Even the Celestial Court dared not challenge someone like him. It was precisely because the Human Realm had three Supreme Immortal Emperors that it was so peaceful and prosperous.

“Huh? What does he want with me? Tell him to piss off!” Jiang Che waved his hand dismissively. His purpose in coming to this Heavenly Court Era was pure — he wanted to torment those two disciples of his. Ji Qingyi hated him so much... if he didn’t bully her ruthlessly, he’d feel terrible.

“Wha... What did you say? Please repeat that?” the aged Demon Emperor asked, stunned, thinking his ears twisted.

“Get lost! And you, get out too!” Jiang Che had no patience for any of them.

These Demon Emperors were nothing but tools to him. He couldn’t even be bothered to squeeze resources out of them.

In Jiang Che’s inner world, over a thousand Immortal Emperors ceaselessly and diligently worked for him, earning him points.

The old Demon Emperor fell silent. Damn his bad luck — he had provoked the Demon Ancestor’s wrath!

But since the Demon Ancestor dared act so arrogantly, he must have his own reasons. After all, no one truly knew the depths of the Demon Ancestor’s power.

“Yes! Your servant will go report at once.”

...

Outside the Demon Abyss.

A young man in a cyan long robe, his long cyan hair dancing freely in the wind, stood relaxed and content, whistling. He looked extremely handsome, almost on par with Jiang Che.

This was the Human Emperor, the King of Tai: Fu Xi.

Of course, this Fu Xi had absolutely nothing to do with the Yu Xi from Chinese mythology.

“Demon Ancestor... the one who merged with the source of demonic Way — an outsider to this world? Interesting!”

Fu Xi chewed on a twig and murmured to himself, deeply intrigued by Jiang Che.

Just then, the old Demon Emperor returned.

“Emperor Xi... His Majesty the Demon Ancestor orders... says to... piss off!”

To be honest, the old Demon Emperor, after speaking, could feel his knees trembling. Before him stood a bonafide Supreme Immortal Emperor, one who had merged with the vessel of the Qiankun Way!

Not long ago, he would have called this man ‘Sir’ with the utmost respect.

The next moment, the young man Fu Xi raised his eyes, and the pressure instantly fell upon the old Demon Emperor.

“Haha! Interesting! Truly interesting! As expected of the Demon Ancestor — clearly an explosive, unmatched great demon!”

Fu Xi let out a loud laugh, but he did not seem angry.

He had once used the Qiankun Way to attempt tracing Jiang Che’s whereabouts but had failed. This made him clearly understand: this Demon Ancestor’s strength was certainly above his own.

“Heaven-Destroying Demon Emperor!” Fu Xi spoke, turning to the old man. This elderly figure was the Demon Emperor Swallowing the Heavens, once ranked among the top three most powerful beings in the Demon Realm.

“Speak!” The Heaven-Destroying Demon Emperor, sensing Fu Xi’s true hesitation, straightened his back on the spot. With the Demon Ancestor backing him, the Demon Realm’s future was invincible.

Seeing how quickly this old geezer’s attitude had changed, Fu Xi could only sigh inwardly. The weak suffer bullying!

“The Human Realm has proposed a Non-Interference Treaty with the Demon Realm. We have decided to never encroach on your territory again,” Fu Xi said, rubbing his nose.

You see — among the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man, the Demon Realm was the lowliest. The so-called Demon Realm couldn’t even dare step out and show off, though all its residents were rough, scar-faced, and tusked. They had no status, no background. They dared not even kill a chicken from the Human Realm. Over the years, humans had rampageously carved up their territory. It was shameful in the extreme. Many little demon girls had even been shipped away as tribute brides.

The Demon Realm... was a miserable existence.

Fu Xi’s words reopened the old wounds of the Heaven-Destroying Demon Emperor. Years of subjugation at the hands of humans surged back like a flood. He had once cultivated with all his soul to touch the threshold of Supreme Demon Emperor, so he could become the demon clan’s pillar of pride. But now, with the Demon Ancestor fated to exist, his ambition to reach Supreme had lost meaning. In fact, most importantly — everything the Demon Realm had lost in the past could now be reclaimed!

Heh heh... Your Majesty the Emperor Xi, it would be best if you turned back. Although our demon realm currently only has the Demon Ancestor as its sole ruler, we are no longer a faction that can be pushed around at will.
