It was merely a coincidence when the Human Emperor met Fuji once again.

After mending the heavens back then, he relied on a secretly borrowed mass of the Source of Ten Thousand Laws to survive, avoiding turning into ashes.

With only half his body intact, he fell onto a small island as he returned to the Four Continents, and was buried under sand and vegetation, sleeping deeply there.

A century passed until a group of the Demon Race, seeking refuge, crossed the sea and arrived at this isolated island.

During the construction of their houses, they dug out the buried Human Emperor from the ground.

Although the events of the Primordial era were forgotten by the survivors due to the Four Continents’ impact, some ancient relics like stone steles were still passed down.

The old Demon Race man who led his people here mistakenly identified the half-body stone statue as the Demon Venerable due to the statue’s hat.

Thinking it was better than doing nothing, he spun a tale freely, granting the statue a Venerate’s name.

The paint and embellishments on the Human Emperor were all his handiwork.

Don’t ask, it’s the traditional culture of the Demon Race.

Perhaps the Human Emperor had slept enough, or perhaps the worship really had a magical effect, as after ten years of worship, the Human Emperor actually woke up.

The people were naturally overjoyed, believing their ancestor was truly guiding them.

But the old man was in a panic because he knew his previous words were all fabricated nonsense.

Fortunately, the Human Emperor didn’t make things difficult for the old man, nor did he ruin his reputation in Jianghu, instead, he cooperatively acted as the Venerate.

By utilizing his knowledge from Blue Star and his experiences as the Human Emperor, he helped the tribe navigate through several crises, earning their trust.

Once trust was gained, the Human Emperor began inquiring about the legends of the Primordial era.

It was unavoidable, as the Four Continents Will wielded by the loli mother had deleted memories too thoroughly.

Although he remembered who he was, he forgot many events from back then, and also why he ended up like this.

Sadly, the Elder was also clueless, only uttering vague terms like Ten Thousand Races Disaster and world war.

Thankfully, the Human Emperor still obtained some useful information from the old man.

After the Primordial era ended, a sect called the Celestial Sect emerged among the Human Race, claiming to have inherited the Human Emperor’s Legacy and currently in its prime.

The Human Emperor believed the Celestial Sect might hold some clues from back then.

Upon learning about this, naturally, he wanted the Elder to take him to the Celestial Sect for a look, but unfortunately, the old man adamantly refused.

Being a member of the Demon Race entering the Human Race’s ultimate stronghold was akin to committing suicide.

However, after the Human Emperor persuaded him with threats and deceit, the old man reluctantly agreed to take him to the shore...

...

"Oh, I get it, you must have been tossed into the sea by the old man halfway, right? Let me tell you, when I floated up, there wasn’t a single boat in sight."

The mass of Fuji, transformed into a girl, walked down the village’s country road with a backpack.

The Human Emperor’s voice came from the backpack, "What else can I do, I’m just a stone now, unable to do anything."

Fuji sighed, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll sell you? A stone like you looks very valuable."

The Human Emperor replied, "I’m not afraid, although I can’t remember how we met, I remember you helped me before, and you’re easy to fool."

Fuji, "（◐ˍ◑）?"

The girl carrying a backpack hummed a tune and disappeared at the end of the field.

...

"What happens next? I want to know what happens next! Bring on the adventure of the girl and the head!"

The Cat Lady Emperor expressed her dissatisfaction like a bloodthirsty audience.

But this time, Little Fuji didn’t fulfill her wish.

"There’s no more."

The Cat Lady Emperor asked in confusion, "No more, why no more?"

"Because, I hadn’t reached the Celestial Sect yet when Zhang Ze died halfway."

The Cat Lady Emperor, "?"

"His body was already damaged at the time, only held together by sheer will, and when the will was gone, he naturally was no more," Fuji said softly, blinking.

The Cat Lady Emperor directed a confused ’look’ with a long tail tone towards Zhang Ze.

Zhang Ze shrugged, indicating he couldn’t recall.

Although he had died and lived, lived and died again, he hadn’t really retained memories from his past lives.

Whether during the Primordial times, being a County Magistrate in White Jade County, or in this life when he rose from the grave next to the ancestral tomb of Dragon Tiger Mountain, his memories reset to the moment before Blue Star exploded and the plane crash happened.

So, asking him was futile.

However, Zhang Ze could guess what he did before his demise. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"I guess, before I kicked the bucket, I asked you to return the Source of Ten Thousand Laws to the Four Continents?" Zhang Ze said looking at Fuji.

Fuji nodded vigorously.

And then she added, "Rest assured, this was done with your identity, and that’s how the legend of the Human Emperor passing on Ten Thousand Laws came about!"

After saying that, Fuji gestured a victory sign at Zhang Ze.

Though Fuji was thoughtful, Zhang Ze still felt a bit sour upon receiving the confirmation.

It was much like subscribing for a membership, preparing the equipment, starting to watch movies online, only to find at the crucial moment, he needed to call in a substitute.

Once taking the children to the Holy Land, another time at the Celestial Sect turning his back on all beings, opening Ten Thousand Laws for the Human Race.

Both times the climax of heroics was performed by Fuji, not by himself, which was somewhat less satisfying.

However...

Since it was Fuji who did it, then it’s okay, after all, Fuji is always right.

Yay.

"Wait a second! I have a question!" the Cat Lady Emperor suddenly noticed a doubt.

"After the Earth Sea incident, you obviously met again, then why didn’t Fuji recognize him when you met this lifetime?"
