Houtu Schemes for the Human Emperor
With Fuxi and Hong Yun successively attaining enlightenment, the great rise of the human race has been fully initiated.
And Cihang could finally rest easy.
With them around, the future of humanity is destined to be bright.
Cihang's words filled Fuxi and Hong Yun with confidence for the future.
Unlike before, the underground passage has now awakened, and Human Dao has manifested itself several times.
With their status as Human Emperor, they could vaguely sense the existence of Human Dao.
Moreover, Zhenyuanzi had already attained enlightenment even without the presence of the Primordial Violet Qi.
They also have a chance.
More importantly, they had complete faith in Cihang.
Since Cihang said they have the opportunity to attain enlightenment, then they will definitely be able to attain enlightenment in the future.
At that time, the human race will have its own strong individuals and resources, and will no longer have to worry about being manipulated or schemed against by those cultivators.
"Teacher, now that Fellow Daoist Hongyun has returned to his position as the Human Emperor, I wonder where the next Fellow Daoist is? Should we make any preparations?"
Fuxi suppressed his excitement and asked Cihang again.
"You really think I'm omnipotent?"
Your ability to become the Human Emperor is due to the meticulous planning of Fellow Daoist Nuwa.
Fellow Daoist Hongyun has accumulated countless resources among the human race, and with the mark I left behind, he was able to discover this ahead of time.
As for who the next Human Emperor will be, I have no idea."
Upon hearing this, Cihang couldn't help but let out a helpless, bitter smile.
"Indeed, we were too greedy. We hope the teacher will not take offense!"
Fuxi quickly apologized.
Although disappointed that they couldn't confirm the third Human Emperor, they also knew that they had indeed been too greedy this time.
"You don't need to be too fixated on this matter. What's most important now is your own cultivation."
Although you have now reached the level of Sub-Saint, it is entirely due to the accumulation of merit.
Even with memories of a past life, one's foundation is inevitably unstable.
Only by possessing strong personal capabilities can one easily and freely cope with everything in the future!
While the development of the human race is important, it is not something that can be accomplished overnight, nor can it be rushed.
In the Primordial World, strength has always been paramount, and everything is determined by strength.
If you can't do it, it's simply because you don't have the ability yet.
Having memories of the future, Cihang did indeed know who would become the third Human Emperor.
But he couldn't speak out, nor did he want to get involved.
The Sanqing already missed out on two Human Emperors, so this time they will definitely go all out.
Moreover, according to Cihang's knowledge, this third Human Emperor is also the most troublesome.
Humanity flourished, Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors emerged.
Although all Human Emperor, the Three Sovereigns were far more important than the Five Emperors.
Fuxi was the first emperor, and his mission was to lead the human race out of ignorance and usher in civilization.
Shennong was the second Human Emperor, and he led the human race into the agricultural era, so that they no longer had to worry about food.
They pioneered the path of medicine and laid the foundation for the development of humankind.
The final Human Emperor Xuanyuan, needed to truly unify the human race and consolidate power over it.
It sounds simple, but it's also the most difficult part.
Both Fuxi and Hong Yun were Human Emperor, but they were often referred to as the common ruler.
Because they were, in name only, the rulers of the human race.
In reality, each of the many tribes of the human race has its own system and order.
Moreover, there were cultivators behind these tribes.
To unify the human race, one cannot bypass these cultivators and powerful figures.
Although Xuanyuan was the last of the Three Sovereigns, his merits and fortune were the greatest.
But along with merit and good fortune comes boundless Karma and effect and Karmic Debt.
In comparison, entrusting the third Human Emperor to the Sanqing is the most appropriate option.
I just hope that when the final result comes out, they won't have any regrets.
Compared to the Lich era, the Primordial World is now much more peaceful.
Although there were still battles between cultivators, there were no large-scale battles.
Everything in the Primordial World was developing in a positive direction.
Having traversed countless miles of mountains and rivers, Cihang returned to Mount Luojia once more.
As soon as Cihang entered Mount Luojia, he felt a familiar aura.
"Didn't Houtu Daoist Houtu return to the Netherworld with Fellow Daoist Zhenyuan? How come you have time to come to Mount Luojia?"
Cihang looked at Houtu waiting in the Life Temple with a surprised expression.
"Does this mean you don't welcome me, fellow Daoist?"
Houtu wore a familiar smile.
Since learning that the Witch Race still had hope of revival, Houtu's suppressed emotions had dissipated.
"How could that be? No matter when, Mount Luojia will always welcome you, fellow Daoist!"
Cihang returned the smile and took out a variety of spiritual fruits to entertain Houtu.
After exchanging pleasantries, Houtu's expression turned serious.
"Fellow Daoist Cihang, I am not here to reminisce about the past, but to inquire about something in detail."
Now that the rise of the human race is a certainty, it is likely that the creatures of the Primordial World will soon forget the existence of the Witch Race.
I intend to contend for the throne of the Human Emperor. Fellow Daoist, could you please take a look and see if this is feasible?
"Fellow Daoist, do you wish to vie for the throne of the Human Emperor?"
Cihang was still somewhat surprised.
Now that Houtu has attained enlightenment, although the Witch Race has been defeated, with Houtu present, there is no need to worry about the issue of succession, and there is absolutely no need to take this risk.
"That is indeed my intention. Fuxi of the demon race could become the Human Emperor, why can't my Witch Race?"
Houtu countered with a question.
"Fuxi's situation was naturally different."
He had the Holy Mother of the Human Race Nuwa behind him, and Fuxi, having become the Human Emperor, had completely shed his demonic nature.
The current Fuxi is not a demon.
Fellow Daoist, you probably can't do that, can you?
Houtu cared about the Witch Race itself and would never allow them to abandon their own bloodline for the sake of the Human Emperor's throne.
Moreover, her ambition to seize the throne of the Human Emperor was for the sake of the Witch Race.
"Do I really have no chance at all?"
Cihang's words caused Houtu's expression to darken.
She was naturally aware of the differences between him and Fuxi.
But she still wanted the fortune of the human race, and wanted to use this fortune to accelerate the resurrection of Di Jiang and other Ancestral Witch.
"It's not that there's no chance. With your current strength, merits, and fortune, you can certainly compete for the position of Human Emperor."
Moreover, in ancient times, the human and shaman races had intermarriage and interbreeding.
But do you really have a suitable candidate, fellow Daoist?
"Although the Human Emperor's merits are great, his failure would also have a significant impact on the Witch Race!"
Cihang couldn't help but speak up to remind her.
Although Houtu was quite powerful, she was facing the Sanqing this time.
The Witch Race's attempt to seize the throne of the Human Emperor proved far more difficult than anticipated.
"Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist, but I still want to give it a try."
Even if I fail, I won't regret it.
Besides, I might not even fail!
As Houtu gazed upon the Ancestral Witch, including Di Jiang, whose souls had vanished, Houtu expression grew ever more resolute.
"Since you have already made your decision, then let's have a go!"
Houtu's attitude, Cihang did not try to persuade her further.
As Houtu said, she might not actually fail.
Perhaps the throne of the Human Emperor should be changed.
Compared to Fuxi and Shennong, Cihang did not have a very good impression of the future Xuanyuan Human Emperor Seal.
Perhaps it was a flaw in his personality, or perhaps it was due to the ineffective teachings of the Chan Sect.
Although he eventually succeeded in unifying the human race, he also brought endless war and calamity upon them.
