"Hehehe!"

Emperor Huang shook his head with a sigh, "Truly, the position of Heavenly Emperor is a constraint upon me!" Although he felt constrained by the title of Heavenly Emperor, he had no regrets.

Without the title of Heavenly Emperor, he wouldn't have reached this status and position, nor would the Human Race become the supreme overlord of Primordial Heaven and Earth because of him.

Now, if he wishes to rid himself of the constraints of the Heavenly Emperor title, he only needs to consolidate his achievements and wait for an opportunity to arise.

There is no need to struggle to break free.

For the opportunity to shed the title of Heavenly Emperor is already on the horizon; it won't be long before it presents itself. If he seizes this opportunity, he can break free from the constraints and transcend beyond this position of Heavenly Emperor.

However, for now, all he needs to do is keep his composure and wait for the opportunity to appear.

....

Lower Realm!

Primordial Land.

Deep within the desolate mountain ranges of East State, lies a remote little human village.

Today, a significant figure has arrived, attracting the attention and gathering of all the villagers.

"I am Yu Ming, a Divine General under Prince Kui of the Great Xia Dynasty. I came by your village today because I have discovered that there is a talent here, one who could lead your village to glory."

"As long as he leaves with me, he is destined to become a Great Xia Divine General; and with hard work, becoming a Divine General of the Central State Yuhua Empire is not out of the question either!"

Great Xia Divine General Yu Ming did not beat around the bush with the villagers. When all of the villagers gathered at the entrance of the village, he directly stated his purpose for coming, which left everyone dumbfounded.

Their village, located in a remote area, led a life of toiling over soil and earth, seldom in contact with the outside world, not to mention having someone who practices cultivation.

Now that a Great Xia Divine General, who controls the fate of the East State, has come to their village claiming that there is a cultivation talent among them, one who can become a Divine General, left them so shocked they were at a loss for words.

They were unsure whether what Great Xia Divine General Yu Ming said was true or false; if it was true, they would not hesitate to let the "talent" of their village leave with Yu Ming.

The opportunity for someone from their village to become a cultivation talent was like a stroke of luck for their ancestors; something nobody could prevent;

But if it were false, they dare not imagine what would happen next.

Great Xia Divine General Yu Ming, a figure of high status and authority.

In their eyes, he was a personage of utmost importance.

If he were to deceive them with lies, they would have to endure it.

Because with just a flick of his finger, he could annihilate them all.

However, the villagers were inclined to believe the first scenario; it seemed improbable that a Divine General of the Great Xia Dynasty would come all this way just to play a prank on them in such a godforsaken place.

Thus, after a brief shock, everyone turned their gaze towards their fellow villagers, searching for the cultivation talent Yu Ming spoke of.

"Heh~"

Great Xia Divine General Yu Ming watched as the villagers looked for the "cultivation talent" he mentioned, with a slight smirk forming a charmingly wicked smile.

But he quickly composed himself, as if afraid of being discovered by the villagers.

"Alright!"

After observing for a while, Great Xia Divine General Yu Ming gestured to stop the villagers' whispers and then pointed at two children behind the villagers.

To be precise, he was pointing at one of the little boys, while the little girl beside him was automatically ignored.

"He... is the talent I spoke of!"

Great Xia Divine General Yu Ming revealed the answer everyone wished to know.

"???"

Following the direction of Great Xia Divine General Yu Ming's finger, the villagers turned and saw a pair of children, a bigger boy and a smaller girl, and their brows furrowed.

"Ye Hao, Ye Xian'er?"

"How could it be them?"

"Has the Divine General made a mistake? How could they be the cultivation talents!"

"Right! People who can't even get enough to eat, how can they be cultivation talents?"

"Could there be a mistake? Maybe the Divine General is not referring to them but someone else!"

"Possibly!"

"..."

Listening to the villagers' discussions, Great Xia Divine General Yu Ming gave a smile and said, "There is no need to doubt, he is indeed the talent I mentioned!"

"Primordial Sacred Body, one of the most powerful physiques of the Human Race, with ease can achieve sainthood once the path of cultivation is embarked upon!"

"Today... I will take him away!"

"I hope no one objects!"

Although he seemed to be discussing it with the villagers, the tone of his words did not contain the slightest hint of negotiation; it was as if he was issuing a command to them.

"Brother..."

Ye Xian'er vaguely sensed the trace of malice in the words of the Great Xia Divine General Yu Ming and instinctively grasped her brother Ye Hao's hand, fearing that her brother would be taken away by the other party.

"Don't be afraid, your brother is here!"

Ye Hao noticed his sister's concern, gently patted her little head, and signaled to her not to worry, he had everything under control.

"Mhm!"

Ye Xian'er nodded.

Since their parents passed away, her brother Ye Hao had been her everything. No matter what difficulties and crises she encountered, her brother had always been like a towering tree, sheltering her from the wind and rain, never letting her down.

Now that her brother said this, it meant that he had a plan in mind.

So, after hearing him, she felt particularly at ease.

"Young man, what is your name?"

After deciding to take Ye Hao away, in the midst of the villagers' astonished gazes, Great Xia Divine General Yu Ming strode towards Ye Hao and inquired about his name.

"My name is Ye Hao!"

Though young, Ye Hao had a very mature mind.

Since the accidental death of their parents when he was seven, he had lived alone with his sister Ye Xian'er.

Over the years, he had experienced all kinds of ups and downs and knew there was no such thing as pie falling from the sky.

Great Xia Divine General Yu Ming said that he was a cultivation prodigy, possessing the once-in-an-eternity Primordial Sacred Body, and that he could become a saint as soon as he stepped onto the path of cultivation.

But the man was a stranger to him; why would he want to lead him onto the path of cultivation? Was it because he had exceptional talent and extraordinary gifts?

Stop kidding!

Everyone is an "adult" here; who would believe such a thing?

He certainly didn't!

In his view, the words of Great Xia Divine General Yu Ming were not entirely trustworthy.

At least half of it was questionable.

His current thought was simple: to take him away was fine, but he must also take his sister Ye Xian'er with him.

Otherwise, he would not leave.

"You have one Shichen to handle worldly affairs, and then leave with me! From then on, have no further entanglements with the mundane world!"

Great Xia Divine General Yu Ming watched Ye Hao reply with neither servility nor arrogance and saw a flash of admiration in his eyes, but when he thought of Ye Hao's extraordinary constitution, he regained his composure.

"I can leave with you, but my sister must come along!"

"Otherwise, I will not leave!"

Ye Hao's eyes were still neither servile nor arrogant, firm as he looked at Great Xia Divine General Yu Ming, their words carrying a hint of threatening peculiarity that frightened all the villagers.

Who was Yu Ming?

Great Xia Divine General!

High in rank, powerful in strength!

If Ye Hao angered him, not only would he die!

They all would die.

To prevent the "reckless" Ye Hao from "ruining things," they began to offer their words of comfort one after another.

"Ye Hao, how can you talk to the Divine General like that! Apologize to Divine General right away, lest I be blamed for spanking you!"

"Divine General, I hope you don't blame Ye Hao for his recklessness; he has been orphaned since childhood, with only his sister to rely on!"

"Ye Hao, rest assured to cultivate with the Divine General. We will take care of Xian'er; you don't have to worry!"

"Yes! After all, we are from the same village; we won't let Xian'er go hungry! Rest assured and go with Divine General! We won't let Xian'er suffer!"

"If you're worried, I can acknowledge Ye Xian'er as my daughter right now, how about that?"

"Don't mess around! This is your chance to rise above others! Once you've achieved something, you can completely come back and fetch Xian'er!"

"Yes! Divine General taking a liking to you is your good fortune; you mustn't fail Divine General's kindness towards you!"

"Hao child, I am the village chief. Divine General's time is precious; you better explain things to Xian'er quickly! We can't waste the Divine General's time!"

"..."

The villagers, whether out of certain considerations or motives, some scolded Ye Hao, some sought to curry favor with Ye Hao, and some tried to convince Yu Ming not to blame the young man...

But what they all ultimately wanted to express was one message: for Ye Hao to leave with Great Xia Divine General Yu Ming and not to stay behind in the village.

As for his sister Ye Xian'er, they would take care of her.
