The Human Race is Indeed Extraordinary

Taiqing smiled and nodded.

Once Tongtian left the Purple Cloud Palace, the Jie Sect would be able to step into the realm of Daluo Heaven.

At that time, the three sects' dojos could merge into one, just like the little courtyard of the three friends on Kunlun Mountain in days past.

As for Hongjun's interference, it was no longer critical.

Taiqing had the confidence to face Hongjun head-on!

After the Chan Sect disciples finished their enlightenment and saw the two saints, Taiqing and Yuanshi, they gradually understood the truth of the matter.

What astonishing power of a saint!

Yun Zhongzi and the others were filled with emotion.

Taiqing, the senior uncle, was truly too powerful!

The Unity of Three Teachings was the true destination for all three sects!

Under Taiqing's influence, the Chan Sect disciples naturally shed their prejudice against the Jie Sect.

They even recalled the events of the Deification, and their hearts were filled with shame!

When the Jie Sect disciples returned in the future, the Chan Sect disciples would be willing to apologize.

After all, the three sects were originally one family!

Now, all Chan Sect disciples were looking forward to the day of the Unity of Three Teachings!

With three saints, the Future Dao Sect would surely be the most powerful force in the Primordial Wilderness!

At this very moment.

Guangchengzi remembered the Heavenly Court's attempt to manipulate the Human Race of Great Qin.

He hurried forward to report in detail.

Yuanshi looked at Taiqing.

"Brother, how should we handle this?"

Taiqing smiled calmly.

"Ying Zheng is actually my disciple."

Guangchengzi and the others were shocked upon hearing this.

So there was such a hidden truth!

No wonder the Human Race had risen so quickly!

It was Senior Uncle Taiqing supporting them from behind!

Yuanshi thought to himself, just as I suspected.

In this Primordial Wilderness, only his brother Taiqing had the ability to turn decay into miracle!

So Yuanshi immediately gave the order:

"Guangchengzi, Yun Zhongzi, lead the Twelve Golden Immortals down the mountain to aid the Human Race in their campaign against the Heavenly Court!"

He also handed the Three Treasures Jade Scepter to Yun Zhongzi.

Yun Zhongzi and the others were thrilled and cupped their hands in acceptance:

"We obey the master's command!"

The Twelve Golden Immortals then descended the mountain.

Taiqing watched with a faint smile and did not stop them.

The three sects joining forces to help the Human Race disciple against the Heavenly Court was undoubtedly an open showdown.

The Heavenly Dao, Hongjun, must have already sensed it.

But that didn't matter.

Taiqing knew well that Haotian's targeting of the Human Race was backed by Hongjun's intent.

In other words, this war between the Human Race and the Heavenly Court was far from simple on the surface.

It already involved a game among the saints!

Given the greed of the Western Sect and the cunning of Hongjun, Taiqing had no doubt they would violate the established rules and forcefully intervene with the Human Race.

And Taiqing had long been prepared.

Once the Heavenly Dao, Hongjun, made another unjust move, he would personally descend upon the Primordial Wilderness and forcefully turn the tide!

You break the rules?

Then I shall shatter it with my own hands!

All the sages believed that this mortal rebellion against the Heavenly Court would inevitably become an epochal war.

Yet Taiqing's true scheme far exceeded anyone's imagination.

He intended to use this opportunity to reestablish the Human Sovereign and revitalize the Human Path.

At the same time, he would pave the way for Tongtian to leave the Purple Cloud Palace.

Thus ushering in a brand-new era.

To achieve this, he was willing to provoke even a war among sages.

Across the Primordial Wilderness, upon the lands of the Human Race.

Xuandu, incarnated as Guiguzi, appeared in Xianyang, bearing a million spirit pills and magical artifacts.

"These are bestowed by the Master."

"Ying Zheng, the Master says you may pay homage to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and formally be crowned Human Sovereign."

Ying Zheng was overjoyed.

"I shall not disappoint the Master's high expectations!"

He had never imagined that before the rebellion against the Heavenly Court, the Master had already prepared such a formidable foundation for him!

Among them were countless Innate Spirit Pills and treasures, surpassing even the legacies of the sages.

Ying Zheng's heart surged with excitement.

With such profound resources, the Human Race could achieve collective ascension.

The Great Qin Empire would see all its people become immortals, forging an eternal Immortal Qin.

His reverence for the unseen Master grew ever deeper.

He resolved to repay the Master's nurturing grace with the monumental achievement of unifying the world.

Then he prepared a letter of homage to meet the Master.

"Zheng also thanks the Senior Brother for his protection."

Ying Zheng bowed respectfully to Xuandu.

"Go fulfill your mission."

Xuandu smiled calmly.

Ying Zheng went straight to the palace, bathed, changed clothes, and fasted for three days.

Three days later.

Ying Zheng, wearing the Flat Heaven Crown, draped in the Human Emperor Robe, and with the Human Emperor Sword at his waist, strode out of the palace!

His aura of destiny was vast, radiating the majesty of the Human Sovereign since time immemorial.

"Subjects of Great Qin, hear my command."

"Today, we sacrifice to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors!"

"I, the Emperor, formally crown myself as the disciple Human Sovereign!"

The people erupted in cheers.

Then Ying Zheng led the hundred officials to the Fire Cloud Cave to pay homage to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

The entire Human Race across the Primordial Wilderness was stirred.

Inside the Fire Cloud Cave.

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were deeply moved.

Xuanyuan especially admired Ying Zheng.

"With such a descendant, we need not worry."

Fuxi nodded and smiled as well.

"Indeed, with such spirit and achievements, Ying Zheng far surpasses us in our time."

Shennong chimed in with a smile.

"Even if I were to depart this world today, I would have no regrets, having witnessed such a grand spectacle of the Human Race."

"It is time to pass on the legacy."

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors all nodded in agreement.

"Good."

Just as Ying Zheng completed the sacrificial rites at the altar.

A thunderous voice rang out from the Fire Cloud Cave, echoing between heaven and earth.

"I am Fuxi!"

"I am Earth Sovereign Shennong!"

"I am the Human Sovereign, Xuanyuan!"

"I am the White Emperor, Shaohao!"

"Today, we pass the throne to Ying Zheng, who shall be the current Human Sovereign of our race! Endorsed by the Three Sovereigns, upheld by the Five Emperors!"

"Witnessed by Heaven, Earth, and Man!"

Ying Zheng bowed in salute.

"I shall revive the glorious era of the Human Race and never betray the trust of the sages before me."

"In time, I will bring the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors back to glory among our people."

The moment he finished speaking.

Boom!

Above the Nine Heavens.

The vast Fortune surged and roiled.

Endless streams of Human Race fortune converged from every direction!

Above Ying Zheng's head, they formed a Fortune Dragon that spanned the Nine Heavens, majestic and overwhelming!

This Fortune Dragon shimmered with a gilded luster!

As if about to solidify into a true Auspicious Golden Dragon of Fortune!

"Hail, His Majesty the Human Sovereign!"

"Hail, His Majesty the Human Sovereign!"

Hundreds of millions of clansmen trembled with excitement!

One by one, they knelt before the new Human Sovereign!

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were the most revered existences of their race!

They had led the Human Race to rise amid the flames of war!

Though not saints, they were like saints in the hearts of their people!

Worshipped and adored by the entire race!

Now, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors had recognized Ying Zheng as sovereign!

Thus, all of the Human Race also recognized Ying Zheng as the Human Sovereign!

From this moment on!

All hearts as one!

Ying Zheng's eyes blazed with brilliance!

His aura seethed and surged!

He had gained the unanimous recognition of his entire race!

The Grand Void God Sealing Art had finally reached the third realm!

All hearts as one!

Boom!

An astonishing aura erupted from within Ying Zheng—he had successfully attained the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm.

This news shook the entire Primordial World.

In the Five Villages Monastery, Zhen Yuanzi sighed with emotion: "At last, I see a Human Sovereign once more."

"The Human Race is truly extraordinary."

In Grand Simplicity Heaven, Lu Ya lamented: "The Human Race is rising again. When will the Demon Race see its own revival?"

Above Spirit Mountain, Tathagata and the other Buddha Ancestors furrowed their brows.

They were stunned that Ying Zheng had won the recognition of his entire race—what kind of boldness did that require?

In the Heavenly Court, Haotian sneered: "This so-called Human Race inheritance is nothing but a farce. Without the recognition of the Heavenly Dao, it is merely the position of a Son of Heaven."

Hongjun of the Heavenly Dao dismissed it with contempt.

The current Human Sovereign, relying solely on the recognition of the Human Race, was not enough. Without the Kongtong Seal, he could never truly achieve the status of Human Sovereign.

Just then, Ying Zheng ascended the Altar once more, raised the Kongtong Seal, and paid homage to the statues of the Human Race's Holy Mother Nüwa and the Taiqing Saint.

"I am Ying Zheng, the current Human Sovereign!"

"Today, all living beings stand united!"

"My Great Qin shall elevate every citizen to immortality!"

"Forging the immortal Immortal Qin!"

"May our Immortal Qin, each one like a dragon!"

"May our Human Race endure for all eternity!"

The words fell, and the Heavenly Disciples moved.

Two Supreme Projections appeared: Nüwa, the Holy Mother of Humanity, and Taiqing, the Leader of the Renjiao Sect. "Good," they replied softly.

In an instant, the Kongtong Seal blazed with dazzling light, illuminating the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Roar—an Auspicious Golden Dragon of Human Fortune soared forth from within, as countless karmic merits surged and merged into the Fortune Dragon of humanity.

Bellow—the Fortune Dragon transformed into a golden dragon, unleashing a roar that shook the Primordial Wilderness.

Heaven and Earth resonated, and the Karmic Position of human fortune ascended...

In the Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun of the Heavenly Dao opened his eyes, coldly fixing his gaze on Ying Zheng, puzzled over where the Kongtong Seal had come from.

In the Jade Void Palace, Yuanshi marveled endlessly—the Human Emperor Karmic Position had truly been restored.

Within the Western Paradise, Receiver and Cundi exchanged glances of disbelief—humanity had actually shattered its shackles.

In the Wa Huang Palace, Nüwa sensed the surging tide of human fortune, a relieved smile spreading across her face.

She felt her long-lost path gradually reviving.

In the Eight Sceneries Palace, Taiqing smiled faintly, understanding in his heart that the Human Emperor Coronation was only the beginning.

In the Heavenly Court, Haotian was furious beyond measure. He smashed the Heavenly Emperor Throne to pieces and roared orders for the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to march against humanity.

"How dare mere humans covet the Son of Heaven's throne? Utterly audacious!" A Million Heavenly Soldiers poured out, blotting out the sky as they descended upon humanity.

Across the Primordial Wilderness, the Fortune Dragon of humanity raised its head and howled, its fortune piercing the heavens and illuminating the world.

Young and old alike, the life force of every human was pushed to its peak, and they all stepped onto the path of immortality.

Purple qi stretched thirty thousand miles eastward, Auspicious Clouds shrouded the sky, and billions upon billions of voices shouted:

"May our human race—everyone become a dragon!"

Humanity shall endure for ten thousand generations!

Now!

An unprecedented unity spread through humanity!

The true sovereign had arrived!

And it was the greatest sovereign of all!

From now on, humanity shall flourish!

Boom!

At that moment!

Thunder roared across the Nine Heavens, shaking heaven and earth!

Like divine punishment!

This heavenly might shook the Primordial Wilderness!

Sending countless ordinary beings trembling in fear!

Terrified beyond measure!

Dark clouds rolled in from the Nine Heavens, blotting out the sun!

Drenched in killing intent!

Chilling the heart at the very sight!

The Heavenly Court's Million Heavenly Soldiers and Generals pressed in!

A terrifying aura engulfed the entire realm—the human domain felt like doomsday had arrived!

Primordial Wilderness!

Shouyang Mountain!

Grand Yi Saving Suffering Celestial Worthy led a million heavenly troops!

Manifesting his Golden Body Dharma Appearance, blotting out the sky!

His roar shook the heavens.

"Ying Zheng, brazen beyond belief, dares to crown himself emperor and call his realm Immortal Qin!"

"Defying the Heavenly Rules, offending the Heavenly Court—your crime is unforgivable!"

"By decree of the Heavenly Emperor, I have come to punish you!"

His voice boomed like thunder, echoing across the Primordial Wilderness!

Even humans who had attained immortality felt terror in their hearts!

The human domain seemed like the end of days!

Heavenly might could not be defied!

Above the Heavenly Court, Haotian watched the scene unfold, swelling with smug satisfaction.

In his eyes, humanity was nothing more than a resource of fortune raised by the Heavenly Court—daring to rise again was nothing but wishful thinking.

The Heavenly Court reigned supreme, its Heavenly Emperor overlooking all beings. Today, he would annihilate Immortal Qin, making every clan in the Primordial Wilderness understand the consequences of defying heavenly might.

A million-strong army from the Heavenly Court bore down like doomsday, shaking every corner of the Primordial Wilderness.

All seemed to foresee the fall of Immortal Qin and the decline of humanity.

Yet atop Shouyang Mountain, facing the oppressive might of the Heavenly Court, Ying Zheng remained utterly composed.

He stood with his hands behind his back, surging golden light of fortune swirling around him, golden radiance blazing beneath his feet like ocean waves.

A deafening dragon roar split the sky. The Auspicious Golden Dragon of Human Fortune soared up from beneath his feet, lifting him to the summit of the Nine Heavens.

Ying Zheng stood proudly, his gaze fixed on the Heavenly Court, exuding the fearless spirit of a Human Emperor.

At the same time...

Light blazed around the Auspicious Golden Dragon of Human Fortune, unfolding countless rivers of history.

Scenes emerged: Nüwa creating humanity, the drilling of wood for fire, Cangjie inventing characters, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors—like the grandest epic symphony, showcasing humanity's rise from war and the unbroken torch of their spirit.

In that moment, Ying Zheng's voice resounded through heaven and earth: "Since ancient times, humanity has been unyielding. Now, united for ten thousand ages, the entire nation ascends!"

Standing atop the Auspicious Golden Dragon, he surveyed the world: "Humanity is Immortal Qin, and Immortal Qin is humanity's divine!"

Ying Zheng's momentum surged like a rainbow as he roared: "Whoever dares to offend my Immortal Qin shall be punished, near or far!"

"Soldiers of Immortal Qin, hear my command—march forth, destroy the enemy!"

"As you command!"
