Great Emperor Fertilizer chuckled. "I was originally a farmer in Donghai City, under the jurisdiction of the East Domain. Later, by chance, I stepped onto the path of cultivation and achieved the Emperor Stage nineteen hundred thousand years ago. Therefore, I am also a subject of the Emperor Tianwu, and I hold the utmost reverence for Emperor Tianwu."
"Nineteen hundred thousand years ago? That era without an Emperor?" Emperor Tianwu had attained the Emperor Stage three hundred thousand years ago, so the artifact spirit had some impression of that era without an Emperor from nineteen hundred thousand years ago; it simply hadn't expected that era to have secretly harbored a Great Emperor!
"That's right, but this old farmer had no interest in becoming invincible under heaven or unifying the universe. Back then, the Tianwu Empire wasn't like it is now—the country wasn't prosperous and the people weren't at peace, with all four seas settled. Yet there was no need for me to meddle in affairs that didn't concern me, so I just tended a few mu of spiritual fields and stuck to my old trade of farming."
