After returning to the human race, Lin Tian immediately sent a telepathic message to Di Xuan, asking him to come to his courtyard.
" Father God, you were looking for me?"
" Di Xuan, the human race has thrived for millions of years, and now it has begun to take shape. The time has come." Lin Tian cut to the chase, displaying the Kongtong Seal in his hand, which emanated the image of nine dragons encircling mountains and rivers, to Di Xuan. "I wish for you to proclaim to heaven and earth that Human Emperor."
" The Human Emperor?" Di Xuan asked, a look of confusion on his face.
He is now the patriarch of the human race, in charge of the clan's affairs and respected by all, but this title of " Human Emperor " is something he has never heard of before.
" Father God, I, Di Xuan, am foolish and dull. May I ask what the meaning of 'Emperor' is? And how is it different from the position of clan leader?"
Lin Tian looked at Di Xuan, who bore a striking resemblance to himself, his gaze deep, and slowly explained, "The clan leader governs the clan and handles worldly affairs. The emperor, however, is the soul of the clan, its courage, and its guiding light!"
" Human Emperor have the courage to lead humanity through trials and tribulations, to be fearless against all races and powerful enemies in the Primordial Wilderness world, and the determination to make humanity stand Primordial Wilderness in the primordial world and become the strongest race! He bears the heavy responsibility of the Human Race Destiny!"
Lin Tian paused briefly, then inquired about the current state of the human race.
Di Xuan smiled slightly, "The human race now numbers two hundred million, with tens of thousands at the Martial God Realm, hundreds of thousands at the Martial Saint Realm, and five of us at the Martial Domain Realm. Our strength is truly formidable."
Di Xuan breathed a sigh of relief that the human race had achieved such development in just a few million years; the human race now possessed sufficient strength.
Seeing the arrogance in Di Xuan's eyes, Lin Tian's expression hardened, and he said in a deep voice, "You're wrong. The human race may seem prosperous, but there are only a few of you who are truly powerful. There are many powerful races in the Primordial Wilderness. Do you dare say you can compare? The human race has only existed for a few million years, its foundation is shallow, and the road ahead is long. Ultimately, the future of the human race must be created by yourselves."
Di Xuan listened to Lin Tian's words, he felt a heavy sense of responsibility welling up inside him.
He took a deep breath, his eyes hardening with unwavering resolve, and bowed deeply to Lin Tian, his voice ringing with conviction:
" Father God, Di Xuan knows his mistake. Di Xuan hereby swears that he is willing to give his life for the rise of the human race, even unto death! He will live up to Father God's high expectations and the trust placed in him by millions of people!"
"Good!" Lin Tian nodded. "Go and prepare the altar. A hundred years from now, on the altar, proclaim to the Primordial Wilderness that the Human Emperor has been appointed!"
"Yes!" Di Xuan accepted the order, and with a heavy heart, turned and strode away to begin preparations.
Not long after Di Xuan left, Yue Yao appeared outside the hall. Her expression was hesitant and sorrowful as she slowly walked in.
" Yue Yao, what do you want?"
Lin Tian asked gently, noting that the deputy clan leader he had appointed was thoughtful, resilient, and had consistently helped Di Xuan, doing a good job.
Yue Yao bit her lip, finally mustering her courage, and said, " Father God... Yue Yao has something on her mind that has been weighing on her heart for a long time, and I humbly beg Father God to make a decision for me."
"Please speak freely."
"I... I have been devoted to Brother Di Xuan for countless years."
A blush crept across Yue Yao's face, but her eyes remained clear and resolute. "I have confessed my feelings to him many times, wishing to become his Dao Companion, to support each other, and to cultivate the Great Dao together. However... however, Brother Di Xuan has always politely declined. He said that his life's ambition lies in creating a future for humanity, and he has no other choice but to dedicate himself to such personal matters..."
Her voice carried a hint of grievance and confusion. " Yue Yao is thinking is actually very simple. Becoming Dao Companion will not interfere with our important matters. On the contrary, if we can understand each other and support one another, he can focus on planning for the human race without distractions. Over the years, we have spent every day together and fought side by side. Yue Yao's feelings for him have long been deeply rooted in her heart and are hard to sever. I hope Father God will understand!"
Lin Tian nodded slightly upon hearing this.
He understood what Yue Yao was saying.
"I am aware of this matter."
Lin Tian looked at Yue Yao, a knowing glint in his eyes. "Don't worry, when the time is right, I will stand up for you."
Upon hearing this, Yue Yao's eyes lit up with surprise, and she quickly bowed, saying, " Yue Yao thanks Father God!"
A century has passed in the blink of an eye.
In the center of the Human Ancestral Land, a magnificent altar, thousands of feet high and built of five-colored soil, has already been erected.
The altar is surrounded by murals depicting human hunting, farming, martial arts training, and spiritual cultivation, representing the path that humankind has taken.
On this day, the Human Ancestral Land was the focus of everyone's attention. Not only did hundreds of millions of humans gather, but distinguished guests also arrived.
Empress Nuwa, the mother of humankind, was the first to descend, her body enveloped in radiance and filled with the aura of Creation.
Fuxi followed closely behind.
Zhen Yuanzi and the Great Immortal Yang Mei arrived at the same time.
Furthermore, Houtu also came here.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Lin Heavenly Dao, it's been a long time!"
" Dao Venerable!"
" Dao Venerable!"
Everyone bowed in greeting.
Yang Mei walked up to Lin Tian with a smile, showing no restraint whatsoever.
"Fellow Daoist Yang Mei, congratulations! Your cultivation has improved considerably again."
"Well, compared to you, it's nothing. Okay, I won't bother you anymore, you go ahead and do your work."
Lin Tian nodded, and then asked Yue Yao to invite everyone to take their seats.
After a moment, Lin Tian nodded slightly to Di Xuan.
Di Xuan took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and with a solemn expression, stepped onto the high altar.
On the altar, a blazing fire burned, the Indestructible Tinder of Sui Ren Shi.
He stood atop the altar, looking down upon his people and the powerful figures observing the ceremony. He channeled his magical power, his voice booming like a bell, echoing in all directions:
"All living beings of the Primordial Wilderness world bear witness!"
"I, Di Xuan of the human race, am deeply grateful for the Creation of my Mother God and the kindness of my Father God Goddess!"
"I hereby swear: I will dedicate my life to creating a future for humankind, overcoming all obstacles and striving for self-improvement! I will not allow humankind to be bullied by foreign races, nor will I allow our civilization to be extinguished!"
"The flame of humanity will never be extinguished! The soul of humanity will live on forever!"
"Today, I, Di Xuan, ascend to the throne— the Human Emperor!"
"With the supreme treasure of humanity— the Kongtong Seal —suppress the Human Race Destiny! May my human race prosper for ten thousand generations!"
After speaking, Di Xuan raised the Kongtong Seal high in his hand!
On the seal, the nine dragons seemed to come alive, emitting a deafening roar. The Human Race Destiny, as if finding its backbone, began to frantically converge on the altar and pour into the Kongtong Seal, causing the seal to shine brightly and illuminate the entire Primordial Wilderness!
However, the sky remained calm, and the expected strange phenomena did not appear.
Whispers began to ripple from the crowd. Di Xuan frowned slightly, but still held the Kongtong Seal firmly.
Just then, Lin Tian slowly rose, his gaze calmly fixed on the supreme void. His voice was not loud, yet it carried an undeniable power:
" The Heavenly Dao has given humanity an emperor who unifies will and guides development. This promotes the development of the Primordial Wilderness and perfects its laws, thus contributing to the world's prosperity. Shouldn't you show your gratitude?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the once clear sky suddenly changed color, with lightning and thunder!
A gigantic eye appeared in the void, shocking everyone present.
Six-Eared Macaque and Fuxi quickly took precautions, while Zhen Yuanzi, Nuwa, and Yang Mei were also on high alert.
The humans below had never seen such a scene before; they trembled with fear from the depths of their souls.
"What's this?"
"Such big eyes!"
What is it going to do?
Its gaze swept over Lin Tian, its eyes revealing anger, but it made no other move and then disappeared.
Before long, endless Xuanhuang Qi gathered, instantly forming a vast Golden Cloud of Merit!
His merits were so immense that they almost blotted out the entire sky!
A pillar of merit descended, enveloping Di Xuan on the altar!
The vast and boundless Heavenly Dao Merit surged into Di Xuan's body, cleansing his limbs and bones, and nourishing his soul and will.
His cultivation level is rising at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Mid-stage Martial Domain Realm... Peak of Mid-stage Martial Domain Realm... Finally, he broke through the barrier and stabilized at the Late-stage Martial Domain Realm!
As his merits dissipated, Di Xuan felt the surging power within his body and a clearer control over the Human Race Destiny. Overwhelmed with excitement, he bowed deeply in the direction of Lin Tian.
Lin Tian nodded in satisfaction.
He then stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over everyone present, and loudly announced:
"The Human Emperor has been established, and the human race should prosper! However, the order of heaven and earth, and the harmony of yin and yang, are the true principles. Now, the Human Emperor Xuan and Yue Yao are of one mind and deeply in love. They should unite in marriage to fulfill the proper order of human relationships."
"Ah?"
Di Xuan was immediately stunned and speechless.
Turning my head, I saw Yue Yao's shy expression.
" Father God? You...!"
