Gathering at Zixiao to Settle Humanity's Grand Destiny

Looking at the changes in the world, Cihang was filled with emotion. The true golden age of cultivation had finally come to an end.

However, he also understood that this was an inevitable trend in the development of the world.

Moreover, the current environment is both a test and an opportunity for cultivators.

Different eras give birth to different kinds of beings.

In the past, innate powerhouses were primarily judged by their birth and innate talent; now, cultivators emphasize comprehension and mental state.

Those with truly exceptional comprehension can soar to great heights and continuously transform themselves, even in environments lacking spiritual energy.

The current environment is actually more suitable for post-natal beings to cultivate themselves.

Cihang continued without stopping, passing through the barrier of heaven and earth, and in the distance, he could already see the Zixiao Palace standing in the center of chaos.

With a single step, Cihang appeared in the Zixiao Palace.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Cihang. It has been a long time. Your cultivation has improved again. It seems that your time to attain enlightenment is not far off!"

Nuwa turned to Cihang, who was smiling broadly.

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, Fellow Daoist Nuwa! Your Dao of Creation is becoming increasingly profound!"

Cihang turned and returned the greeting.

"Greetings, fellow Daoists!"

Immediately afterwards, the Sanqing and the Two Sages of the West arrived one after another, their conversation filled with flattery and politeness.

It was like seeing a close friend you hadn't seen in a long time.

In reality, however, the group had always been wary of each other.

Now that everyone is here, please take your seats!

Hongjun suddenly appeared on the platform, interrupting the seven people who were exchanging compliments.

"Greetings, teacher!"

"Greetings, Dao Ancestor!"

Apart from Cihang, all Six Saints were disciples of Hongjun, so naturally only he was addressed differently.

"No need to be so polite, please take a seat!"

Hongjun waved his hand and helped the people up.

After expressing their gratitude once again, the group sat down on the prayer mats, and the doors of the Zixiao Palace closed at that moment.

Upon seeing this, a strange light flashed in Cihang's eyes; this time, Houtu was nowhere to Houtu.

Was it that Houtu did not keep her promise, or was the conflict between the Way of Heaven and the Way of Earth intensifying?

Before Cihang could think further, Hongjun spoke again.

"The Lich War has been over for millions of years, and the Primordial World has regained its vitality."

A new era has begun, and the human race is destined to be the protagonist of this era.

However, if the human race wants to stabilize its own destiny, it needs the rule of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

"I've been anxious to have you all come here today because I've inquired about the impending rise of the human race."

Hongjun's indifferent voice echoed in the Zixiao Palace, carrying with it a majestic aura.

"Teacher, I wonder if the number of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors was predetermined?"

Taiqing quickly asked a question.

With the rise of the human race, the one who benefited the most was naturally him, the Leader of the Human Sect.

Yuanshi Tianzun and Jieyin, among others, also had deep, calculating gazes.

These Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were not only emperors of the human race, but also possessed supreme power, comparable to half-saints.

"The position of Human Emperor is determined by the general trend of the human race and cannot be changed by human power."

Although the human race has a great momentum, its strength is insufficient. If the human race wants to develop, it will need your assistance.

"But with the return of the Human Emperor, freedom, merit, and fortune will surely come to him!"

Hongjun looked at the saints with a profound expression.

The Human Emperor was born with the destiny of the human race; he is not so easily swayed.

If one does not gain the approval of the human race's fortune, even if one becomes Human Emperor, one will not be able to obtain the merit and fortune that one deserves.

"Please rest assured, Master, we will do our utmost to assist the Human Emperor in attaining enlightenment!"

Hongjun's words brought the sages to their senses, dispelling their covetousness for the throne of the Human Emperor.

Although he could not obtain the position of Human Emperor, the position of Human Imperial Tutor was equally precious.

The position of Imperial Tutor not only grants the merit and fortune to assist the Human Emperor, but also allows one to spread the Dao among the human race through the identity of Imperial Tutor.

Humanity is destined to be the future protagonist of the world, making it a crucial battleground for them.

At the same time, the saints couldn't help but look at Taiqing and Nuwa with envy.

These two, one the Leader of the Human Sect and the other the Holy Mother of the Human Race, can be said to be invincible from the start.

"The rise of the human race is an inevitable trend of heaven and earth, and cannot be changed in any way."

As for how to assist the Human Emperor in attaining enlightenment, and who should assist him, that is up to you to decide!

After saying this, Hongjun's figure disappeared from the Zixiao Palace. Before leaving, he gave Taiqing and Nuwa a meaningful look.

Hongjun summoned them to the Zixiao Palace this time simply to inform them that the time for the great prosperity of the human race had arrived.

As soon as Hongjun left, the Six Saints spoke up one after another, all determined to obtain the position of Imperial Tutor, and none of them would give way to the other.

The hall was instantly filled with a tense atmosphere, as if a fight would break out at any moment.

Seeing this, Cihang remained silent.

Cihang also held a rather indifferent attitude towards the position of Imperial Tutor.

At this moment, he was more concerned about Hongjun's attitude.

Hongjun seemed to have done nothing, yet he caused disputes and disagreements among the sages.

Cihang initially didn't understand Hongjun, now understands him to some extent.

Although the Six Saints and Hongjun were master and disciple, they mostly used each other.

Although Hongjun gained the obedience of the Six Saints, they were first and foremost Heavenly Dao Sage, and only then were they his Hongjun.

Given the delicate relationship between Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao, it was naturally impossible for him to wish to see the Six Saints living in harmony.

The current conflict between East and West, and the future falling out among the Sanqing Ones, are all under Hongjun's control.

The more conflicts there are among the Six Saints, the more secure Hongjun's position and power become.

It is obvious that the Six Saints control the Primordial World, but in reality, the true ruler of the Primordial World has always been Hongjun, and this has never changed.

Although Cihang saw through all of this, she had no intention of offering any advice.

Hongjun needs the conflict among the saints to ensure his supreme position.

He also needs to use this to benefit himself.

If all the saints are of one mind, it will become increasingly difficult for him to continue developing.

At the same time, the conflict among the Six Saints intensified, with none willing to yield to the other.

In the end, it was the combined efforts of the Sanqing and Nuwa that allowed them to expel the Two Sages of the West first.

Despite his reluctance, Jieyin and Zhunti were powerless to change the situation in the face of the obstruction of the four saints.

They did try to bring Cihang into the game, but Cihang remained unmoved.

In the end, they could only remain silent.

Whether they had truly given up or had other plans, everyone present knew perfectly well.

At this time, there were also conflicts of interest among the Sanqing, but they still maintained a united front against external threats.

As for why Nuwa would help the Sanqing, Cihang glanced at Nuwa and had a vague guess in her heart.

Although Hongjun said that the position of the Human Emperor is beyond human control, nothing is absolute.

Sure enough, as soon as Cihang had this thought, he received a telepathic message from Nuwa, inviting him to the Empress Wa's Palace for a chat.

Ultimately, the saints failed to reach a real agreement and left Zixiao Palace with their own thoughts.

Cihang, at Nuwa's invitation, went to the Empress Wa's Palace together.
