The Human Emperor Imprint chose its master

That night, the moon was high in the sky, and its clear light shone outside the stone house where Chi You lived alone.

The nights in the Jiu Li Tribe are not quiet; whispers of warriors and laughter of children can be heard around the campfire, but the stone houses are shrouded in a deathly darkness.

Chi You sat cross-legged on the cold stone bed, not engaging in any daily cultivation or meditation. This was because deep within his mind, a vast and suffocating torrent of memories, dormant for decades, had suddenly burst through the sealed gates under the guidance of an ancient and mighty Reincarnation Law!

That was a seal set up by Houtu using the Power of Reincarnation, containing all the memories of Chiyou, the Great Witch Chi You of the Witch Clan.

This was specially left behind by Houtu when she sent Great Witch Chi You's True Spirit Reincarnation.

What she wanted was a Chi You was loyal to the Witch Clan, not someone like Fuxi who only regained his memories after achieving success, and whose humanity ultimately overcame the impact of his Previous Life's memories, completely abandoning his former identity, joining the Human Clan, and becoming the Human Clan Chi You!

An endless stream of fragmented memories flooded into his brain in an instant!

The grand sacrificial ceremony at the Pangu Temple Altar of the Pangu Hall of the Witch Clan!

A bloody battle against the Demon Clan race at the Buzhou Mountain!

The proud roar of the Great Witch's Bloodline!

An instinctive affinity for the earth's impurities!

The years I led the Witch Clan Warriors in conquest!

And there was also the soaring resentment at the moment of his fall, and the deep unwillingness towards the future of the Witch Clan...

The memories and emotions accumulated over millions or even tens of millions of years, belonging to the Great Witch Chi You of the Witch Clan, were like a tsunami that overwhelmed the world, instantly shattering the Sea of Consciousness of "Human Chi You," who had grown up, been bound to, and struggled in the Jiu Li Tribe Human Clan, possessing pure Human Clan emotions and thoughts, in just a few decades.

The impact of this memory lasted all night!

As the first rays of dawn struggled to pierce through the cracks in the stone house and fall upon the figure in the center, Chi You, with his clear eyes and the vibrant energy of a young Human Clan, vanished.

Instead, there were a pair of eyes as deep as a bottomless abyss.

Those eyes held the indifference and vicissitudes accumulated over millions of years of life experiences, the Baleful Qi forged in countless battles, and the unwavering loyalty and responsibility of the Great Witch Chi You to his Witch Clan.

Chi You slowly raised his hand, looked it over from side to side, and then stretched his body.

Compared to his former Great Witch body, his current body is incredibly weak; only the Martial Dao techniques he remembers still hold some interest.

I never expected to be reincarnated Human Clan and come back to life. Was this the arrangement of the Empress Houtu?

Based on my memories of this life, after the Witch-Demon War, it was actually the Human Clan that began to rise and gradually grew into a great Primordial World race like the Witch-Demon.

Moreover, Fuxi actually joined the Human Clan and became the Human Clan Heavenly Emperor, achieving the status of Sub-Saint. However, this was something he obtained by giving up everything of the Demon Clan!

Chi You silently reviewed his memories of the past few decades in the present world, familiarized himself with the current situation, and marveled at the extraordinary destiny Fortune of the Human Clan.

Thinking about his current status, he chuckled again.

"Compete with Xuanyuan for the throne of the Human Emperor?"

Chi You slowly clenched his fist, as if he were grasping the throne of the Human Emperor. Perhaps he thought that with his abilities, these things would be easily obtained!

The next moment.

"Witch... Clan..." His deep voice echoed in the empty stone house.

No matter how good the human race is, it is ultimately not the place where his heart truly belongs. If he could return to the Witch Clan with the fortune of the Human Emperor, it is unknown whether he could change the current situation of the Witch Clan and bring a glimmer of hope for revival.

Almost at the very moment that Chi You fully awakened as the Great Witch of the Witch Clan!

Far away in Chen Du, Shennong, who was residing deep in his underground palace and using the Earth Vein Power to sort out the Human Race's fortune and try to sense the Meridians, suddenly opened his eyes!

The Human Emperor Imprint that originally lingered within him remained like a sleeping Stars, slowly flowing between the two pillars of Fortune representing Chi You and Xuanyuan, without any clear bias.

However, in that very instant!

"Buzz--!"

A resounding boom, which only Shennong could perceive and which originated from the core of the Primordial World Fortune of the Way of Man, suddenly echoed deep within his soul!

The dormant Human Emperor Imprint suddenly burst forth with an unprecedented, pure, and warm golden radiance!

It automatically emerged from Shennong's body and hovered in mid-air above the secret chamber!

Golden Light surged, and in an instant, a clear illusory scroll was projected into the void!

The picture shows no battlefields filled with the smoke of gunpowder, no specific tribal scenes, only the outline of a vast and boundless land full of vitality—a symbol of the Primordial World Dao of Humanity!

At the heart of this land, a towering figure is enveloped in an incomparably dazzling golden halo.

The figure's outline was no longer blurry, but clearly revealed an image of someone wearing a crown symbolizing the Stars calendar and a robe depicting auspicious beasts paying homage to the heavens!

It was exactly as if Youxiong Xuanyuan was teaching astronomy!

Meanwhile, on the other side of the scroll, a light that was originally equally dazzling and represented Chi You flickered violently a few times. Its color suddenly changed, rapidly shifting from a bright gold representing vitality to a somber and heavy earthy yellow with the characteristics of the Witch Clan. Although powerful, it was incompatible with the Golden Light of the origin of Dao of Humanity, as if it had been forcibly embedded into this painting of Dao of Humanity, disrupting the overall harmony.

Below the scroll, countless illusory figures of the Human Clan working appeared, toiling and multiplying around the Golden Light illusory figure of Xuanyuan.

The light lasted for a full nine breaths!

Immediately, the scroll retracted and disappeared back into the Human Emperor Imprint, while the Golden Light of the mark also began to recede and sink back into Shennong's body.

Shennong sat on the stone platform where the Earth Veins energy converged, feeling the directional pulsation of the Human Emperor Imprint within his body, which had now been confirmed. His face was full of shock, and he still did not know what had caused this sudden situation.

What exactly did Chi You do to make the wavering Human Emperor Imprint abandon him and firmly choose Xuanyuan?

Shennong had deep doubts and questions about this, but these were no longer important. His reluctance to part with Chi You's unique talent was dispelled at this moment by the choice made by the Origin Will of the Way of Man.

He slowly rose to his feet, his expression gradually returning to calm.

"The Mandate of Heavenly Mandate is clear, and Dao of Humanity has its own destiny."

The future of the Human Clan rests on Youxiong, on Xuanyuan!

He no longer believed in just his own judgment.

He has even greater faith in the fact that this choice carries the original imprint of the beliefs of hundreds of millions of the Human Clan and the Merit of the past two Human Emperors.

The characteristics of the Human Emperor Imprint dictate that it will choose the Popular Support and paths that best align with the continuation of Dao of Humanity and are most conducive to the prosperity of the Human Clan.

The following day, Shennong did not delay.

The significance of the Human Emperor Imprint is profound. Now that the choice has been made, there is no need to delay any longer.

He dispatched an envoy carrying Shennong Tally engraved with flame and Hundred Herbs totems, traveling day and night to the You Xiong Tribe to summon Xuanyuan to Chen Du. He promised to personally instruct Xuanyuan, imparting all his governing insights, and also allowing Xuanyuan to participate in and observe governance, laying the foundation for a smooth transition of power.

Following Shennong's series of actions, the news spread like wildfire.

The sages of Chen Du and the leaders of the surrounding major tribes were alarmed.

Guangchengzi received the news from his Cave Abode dwelling outside the You Xiong Tribe, and breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on his face.

Previously, when Chi You and Xuanyuan clashed, Xuanyuan, under his tutelage, was only able to hold his own against him. This put him under considerable pressure, and he even began to doubt whether Xuanyuan was truly the Human Emperor.

Now that everything has been settled, he can finally relax.

Having heard of Shennong's summons, Xuanyuan arranged the affairs of the tribe and prepared to go to Chen Du.

Just as this decree spread from the center of Chen Du to the surrounding tribes, in the Southern Region of the Primordial World, the Spirit Bamboo Mountain Dao Field was a place of tranquil spiritual energy, undisturbed by the world.

As dusk fell, the evening glow, like molten gold poured down, painted the verdant bamboo covering the mountains with a warm hue.

The verdant bamboo leaves rustled in the breeze, mingling with the murmuring of the mountain stream, creating a symphony of nature.

Spirit Gourd Daoist sat upright on a terrace paved with natural green jade, his wide green Daoist robe hanging down naturally.

He held a Green Jade Gourd in his hands, but his gaze did not linger on the gourd; instead, he leisurely admired the magnificent sunset before him.

Stealing half a day of leisure from a busy life, I sit and watch the clouds drift and gather.

A while ago, he helped Shennong, also known as Black Tortoise, to connect with many races in the Primordial World, establish relationships, and facilitate the Human Clan's guardian deity plan and Divine Dao system. He put in a lot of effort, and after everything was on the right track, he returned to the Spirit Bamboo Mountain Dao Field.

It is said that Shennong's Hundred Herbs Scripture has been completed and is being promoted throughout the Human Clan territory. It seems that Shennong is about to Merit and ascend to the Huoyun Cave "prison".

Thinking of this, Spirit Gourd's mind stirred.

His aura was as deep as the sea, silently merging with the Spirit Vein of the entire Spirit Bamboo Mountain. His Divine Sense, like invisible tentacles, quietly sensed the extremely subtle changes in the Fortune of all living beings on the Primordial Desolation Earth.

Faced with the Great Trend of the Primordial Desolation, the reputations of Chi You and Xuanyuan were like two pebbles thrown into a deep pool, naturally creating ripples that belonged to the Human Clan and also reached Spirit Bamboo Mountain.

A look of understanding flashed across Spirit Gourd Daoist's eyes, which held the vastness of the Sea of Stars.

"Chi You... Xuanyuan..." A slight smile appeared on his lips, "As expected, it's still these two."

The name seemed to have triggered a deep-seated memory, instantly connecting the events before him with the situation in the Primordial World.

The name Chi You is the same as that of a Great Witch of the Witch Clan, so he should be the reincarnation of that shaman.

However, given the current state of the Witch Clan, with Houtu and Xuanming in charge, they control most of the Reincarnation. Why would they continue to interfere in the affairs of the Human Clan?

It's clear that Houtu and Hongjun had made a deal before; the two sides joined forces to target the original Houtu, Sealing Restriction her Incarnation in the Dao Field for millions of years.

As for the content of their transaction, it should be related to the Witch Clan. Houtu's feelings for the other Ancestral Witch and her control over Reincarnation, it shouldn't be difficult for her to make preparations in advance, gather the True Spirit of the Ancestral Witch, and then use the Power of Reincarnation to revive them.

However, it seems that Houtu and Xuanming had planned this all along. But considering the Heavenly Dao's cleansing of Pangu Bloodline and its continued suppression of Pangu's influence, even if the Ancestral Witch were to be resurrected, they would likely lose their own Bloodline and the Two Ancestral Witch Body, just like Houtu and Xuanming.

Without the support of these primordial forces, it would probably take them tens of millions of years to return to their former glory. After all, the resources in the Primordial World are not as abundant as they used to be, as most of them have been taken into the possession of powerful beings.

So, if the Ancestral Witch haven't been resurrected yet, and may already be in the process of being conceived anew, what is Houtu's purpose in Houtu things at this time to send the True Spirit of the Great Witch Chi You into the Human Clan's Reincarnation?

"To vie for the throne of the Human Emperor and draw upon the Human Race's fortune to benefit the Witch Clan?" The Spirit Gourd Daoist shook his head slightly, his fingertips tracing the smooth surface of the Green Jade Gourd, producing a soft, clear sound.

Does the Witch Clan truly lack Merit and Fortune? Not necessarily.

You have to understand that they occupy most of the Reincarnation of reincarnation. Just by maintaining the operation of the Reincarnation, they can obtain a huge amount of Merit and Fortune. Even though the Fortune the Witch Clan has now fallen to the bottom, as long as time goes by and the Fortune of the Reincarnation is replenished, it will eventually rise from the bottom.

The Witch Clan, trapped in the Pangu Hall, Fortune like a still pond.

To outsiders, Houtu's actions were nothing more than using Chi You as bait to infiltrate the Human Clan, seize the throne of the Human Emperor, and seek to nourish the withered body of the Witch Clan and change their fate.

However, in Spirit Gourd's view, the most important thing for any race has always been its people.

Those Witch Clan disciples who survived in the Pangu Hall were the most precious things in Houtu's heart. She and Xuanming only hoped that their move would awaken the spirit of those Witch Clan disciples and help them break free from past setbacks.

If Chi You could forget his past and truly consider Human Clan as his root, with his innate talents, he might very well be able to sit on the throne of the Human Emperor.

Unfortunately, the mark of the Witch Clan imprinted deep within the True Spirit cannot be easily washed away by the waters of Reincarnation.

Given Chi You's personality, if he continues to be arrogant as a shaman and treats the Human Clan as a stepping stone, he will eventually be rejected by the Fortune of the Way of Man, bringing disaster upon himself, and may even drag those people in the Pangu Hall down with him.

As soon as this thought arose, the fragment of Houtu's collaboration with the one from the Purple Sky Palace to deal with him also flashed through Spirit Gourd's mind.

Regardless of what kind of deal was made between that Dao Ancestor and the Ancestral Witch Houtu, the Karma entanglement between the Witch Clan and the Human Clan is clearly an important part of it.

Perhaps I can watch a good show. Chi You has the help of the Witch Clan, and Xuanyuan has the support of the Chan Teachings. They were the ones who attacked me in the first place. Watching them fight each other now would be a pleasant thing for me.

Spirit Gourd stopped thinking.

With a slight thought, a pure azure light condensed from his fingertip. He casually drew a line from between his brows, extracting a thought from his mind. This thought contained his deduction of Chi You's identity and his guesses about Houtu and Xuanming's intentions. He concealed this warning information, and then, following the connection of Fortune between his true self and the Human Clan, he flicked his finger and flew towards the Human Clan.

Shennong's previous incarnation was his good friend, and he didn't want the other person to be kept in the dark.

However, Linghu's worries were unfounded. He was unaware of the miraculous nature of the Human Emperor's Mark, which had already warned Shennong.

Of course, things would get interesting if Shennong learned the inside story from him.
