Wuzhuang Temple, Ginseng Fruit Tree.

Zhenyuanzi and Hong Yun stand side by side, Mystic Yellow Barrier of Earth Scroll envelopes the entire Longevity Mountain.

Hong Yun looked up to the sky and laughed, causing the chess pieces on the chessboard to scatter all over the floor:

"Old stubborn! Fellow Daoist Fuxi has proved the truth!

Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal! When he was teaching Bagua at Buzhou Mountain, he was just Mid-Quasi-Saint, but now he is Hunyuan!

I knew that no one around Daoist brother Xuande would be simple!"

Zhenyuanzi slowly closed Earth Scroll, and the irrepressible arc at the corner of his mouth betrayed his true inner emotions.

His connection with Fuxi is deeper than most people imagine.

When he worked with Xuande, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Hong Yun to restore West Earth Vein, Fuxi was just Nuwa's elder brother. He met Zhenyuanzi a few times when he occasionally came to West to visit his sister.

Now, after hundreds of thousands of years of friendship, the two have become old friends who don't need to be polite.

After a long silence, Zhenyuanzi slowly spoke, "Human Emperor has preached, and I should congratulate you with Ginseng Fruit."

Thirty-Three Heavens, Sun God Palace.

Dijun stood at the window of the palace with his hands behind his hands, and Sun Essence Wheel slowly spun behind him.

When the fluctuations of Fuxi's sermons poured into the Sun God Palace, his expression did not change at all, but the fingers holding the window lattice tightened slightly.

Human Race owns Hunyuan.

This in itself is not earth-shattering news. Human Race Fortune is the general trend. It is also expected that Fuxi can prove the truth.

But the way Fuxi preached the truth made him have to re-examine the potential of Human Race.

The Tao is often proved by the outline of human ethics, which means that the Tao of Fuxi is not based on personal strength, but on the entire civilization system of Human Race.

The more prosperous Human Race is, the stronger Fuxi will be; the more prosperous Fortune of Human Race will be, the more stable the foundation of Fuxi will be.

This method of enlightenment based on ethnic group Fortune has never been used by anyone among Primordial Wilderness.

Dijun pondered for a moment, summoned Kunpeng into the palace, and asked him to prepare another gift to send to Human Ancestral Land. His tone was more solemn than ever before:

"Fuxi testifies that Demon Clan must not lose its etiquette. This gift is three points thicker than the one given when Kongtong Seal was born."

Netherworld, Six Paths of Reincarnation deep.

Houtu sits in the center of Reincarnation Disk, with golden Light of Reincarnation flowing around her.

When the fluctuations of Fuxi's enlightenment penetrated the netherworld and poured into the core of reincarnation, she put down the copy of Book of Life and Death she was reviewing, raised her head slightly, and a heartfelt smile of relief appeared on the corner of her mouth.

She has no close relationship with Fuxi, but Fuxi is Nuwa's elder brother, one of Xuande's most trusted old friends, and Human Race's guardian for tens of thousands of years.

After he testified Hunyuan, the alliance between Human Race and Witch Clan will surely become more stable.

With the Witch Clan, Xuande, Guest Elder, and Fuxi, Human Race Hunyuan, two Hunyuan level allies beside him, Calamity Kalpa's chances of winning are even better.

Houtu whispered to himself, his voice echoing in the empty core of reincarnation:

"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Fuxi for becoming enlightened, Human Race is on the right track."

Mount Sumeru, Brahma Sound Cave.

Inside the closed cave door, Xuande sat cross-legged in front of the Purple-Gold Golden Body Dharma image. Twenty-Four-Petal Yin-Yang Merit Golden Lotus was slowly spinning under him, and Four-Colored Light was flowing endlessly on the lotus petals.

When the fluctuations of Fuxi's enlightenment penetrated the isolation and restriction of Brahma Sound Cave and poured into Quiet Room who was in retreat at Xuande.

His eyelashes trembled slightly, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he sank back into Four Symbols Cycle's combing.

He felt that the fluctuation was the aura of Fuxi, the rhyme of Hunyuan that was the fusion of Human Dao Fortune and Bagua.

He knew that the Human Race he entrusted to Fuxi before Chaos became enlightened, now finally has a real Hunyuan guardian.

He can rest assured.

In front of the Ancestral Land altar, Fuxi looked down at Kongtong Seal in his left hand and Red Embroidered Ball in his right hand, feeling the majestic power in his body that he had never experienced before.

This power does not come from the gift of Heavenly Dao, nor from the guidance of Primordial Violet Qi, nor from the accumulation of Slay Three Corpses, nor from the mission given to Great Dao.

It comes from Human Race.

It comes from the race that he spent tens of thousands of years teaching Bagua, knotting ropes to record events, fishing, hunting and farming, determining surnames, establishing Human Marriage, dividing the four seasons, setting up official positions, and playing music.

They are his foundation, the source of his Fortune, and the ultimate refuge for his enlightenment.

From now on, he is no longer just Fuxi, no longer just Nuwa's brother, and no longer just Xuande's old friend.

He is Human Emperor, the first Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal of Human Race, and the incarnation of Human Dao Fortune.

He still has a long way to go, and Human Race also has a long future.

But at least from today on, Human Race has its own Hunyuan guardian on this Primordial Wilderness land, and has the qualification to talk to all forces on an equal footing on the Primordial Wilderness card table.

Fuxi placed Kongtong Seal and Red Embroidered Ball back on the altar, then turned to look at the countless Human Race people who were already kneeling around Ancestral Land.

Suiren Shi, Youchao Shi, Ziyi Shi are kneeling at the front.

Three Ancestors's cheeks were full of tears, but those tears were of joy, pride, and the mixed emotions that come when you finally see the light of day after tens of thousands of years of arduous trek.

Fuxi stretched out his hand to lift Three Ancestors up one by one, and then lifted the leaders of the nine major tribes and the principal of Six Ministries from the ground.

He didn't give any lengthy instructions, he just said softly, "Human Race, the road is still long."

The sound was not loud, but it penetrated every corner of Ancestral Land and penetrated everyone's heart.

That calm and steady voice made everyone feel more at ease than ever before.

Human Race has a Hunyuan guardian.

He is the emperor of all people, the common Fuxi of all people.

Fuxi The red golden light of enlightenment has not yet completely dissipated from the Primordial Wilderness sky.

The Bagua light beam based on Human Dao Fortune still lingers over Ancestral Land for a long time.

Thirty-Three Heavens There is a pair of golden eyes deep in the depths that take in all of this.

Dijun stood with his hands behind his hands on the observatory on the edge of the Sun God Palace. Sun Essence Wheel slowly rotated behind him, casting his figure above the surging sea of clouds at his feet.

His gaze penetrated Thirty-Three Heavens layers of clouds, penetrated Nine Heavens Astral Wind, penetrated Primordial Wilderness the layer of faint Human Dao Fortune golden light on the ground, and landed on the Bagua light pillar rising into the sky.

Fuxi Every detail of the sermon.

The descent of Heavenly Dao Merit, the addition of Human Dao Fortune, the evolution of Bagua Law, and the condensation of Hunyuan Dao Fruit.

All were clearly presented in his perception.

He looked at it for a long time, until Sun Essence Wheel turned around three times, and until Changxi behind him called him softly, he slowly looked away.

"Fuxi does not have Primordial Violet Qi."

Dijun spoke, his voice was so calm that he was almost talking to himself,

"There is no oath to Great Dao, no Slay Three Corpses combined with Heavenly Dao, no Pangu's Legacy, no Chaos Green Lotus Origin Essence.

All he has is Human Race.

Protecting Human Race accumulated good fortune for tens of thousands of years, establishing surnames and establishing Human Marriage principles of human ethics, and establishing civilized order by setting up official positions in four seasons.

Then Heavenly Dao lowered Merit, Human Dao Fortune joined him, and he became enlightened."

He turned around, and the light of Sun Essence Wheel was reflected in those golden pupils, but it was more intense than Sun Essence Wheel.

"He proved the way with Human Race Fortune. Human Emperor can prove the way with Human Dao Fortune. Why can't Heavenly Emperor prove the way with Demon Race Fortune?"

Changxi Hearing this, the tea cup in his hand paused slightly.

She knows the weight of Dijun's words.

Since the defeat of the Lich War and the establishment of Three-Kalpas Edict by Hongjun, Dijun has been looking for the path to enlightenment.

Taiyi takes Prove Dao with Strength, Dijun takes Primordial Violet Qi and Heavenly Dao.

But Fuxi's sermon was like a bolt of lightning that split open the fog that had long shrouded Dijun Sea of Consciousness.

There is never more than one path to enlightenment. Human Race Fortune can create a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, and Demon Race Fortune can do the same.

And in the whole world, there is only one existence that can carry the entire Demon Race Fortune, Heavenly Emperor.

"Pass Kunpeng."

Dijun's voice has restored the calmness and determination that Heavenly Emperor should have.

Kunpeng came quickly.

When this Lord of the Northern Darkness stepped into the main hall of the Sun God Palace, Dijun was the only one in the hall.

The light of Sun Essence Wheel illuminated the entire hall like daylight. Dijun sat on top of Heavenly Emperor's Throne, with no emotion on his face.

Kunpeng stood in the center of the hall and bowed in salute.

He was keenly aware that the atmosphere in the palace today was different from the past.

Dijun still has the majesty of Heavenly Emperor, but there is an extremely sharp determination in the majesty.

It was like a sword that had been kept in its sheath for too long and finally decided to come out of its sheath.

"Demon Master, I have something to discuss with you."

Dijun did not beat around the bush and directly stated how Fuxi's sermon inspired him.

His speech was not fast, but he spoke loudly.

He said that Fuxi can achieve enlightenment with Human Dao Fortune, and Demon Clan can also achieve enlightenment with Demon Race Fortune.

He said that Demon Clan Heavenly Court is sitting on Thirty-Three Heavens, Great Array of the Stars, and hundreds of millions of Demon Soldier Demon General. This foundation itself is a big enough Yuan Sect to shake the threshold of Fortune.

He said that he wanted to take back all the scattered Demon Clan authority.

Ten Great Demon Marshals's military power, Great Array of the Stars's positional power, Thirty-Three Heavens's jurisdiction, and Demon Clan's jurisdiction over various strongholds were all taken back, all concentrated on Heavenly Emperor, and Demon Race Fortune was used to attack Hunyuan.

Kunpeng's expression remained unchanged when he heard "take back all authority", but when Dijun said "Demon Master's position", his pupils shrank slightly for a moment.

Demon Master, this is the position he has held since the establishment of Demon Clan Heavenly Court.

Although he does not hold military power, Demon Master Hall's status in the Heavenly Court civil service system is second only to Heavenly Emperor and Eastern Emperor, and Demon Master's own voice plays a decisive role in major decisions.

For Dijun to take back Demon Master's position is equivalent to cutting off all his formal rights in Heavenly Court.

Dijun looked at Kunpeng, stood up, and solemnly clasped his fists towards Kunpeng.

There was no moisture in this ceremony. Heavenly Emperor's spine was bent extremely deeply, even deeper than when he paid tribute to the surviving Demon Generals after the Lich War.

When he straightened up, his golden eyes were filled with unabashed sincerity:

"Demon Master, you and I stand side by side with tens of thousands of Kalpa. From Northern Darkness to unifying Demon Clan, from establishing Heavenly Court to fighting Witch Clan, Demon Master has devoted as much effort to the Demon Clan as anyone else.

But I must take this path, and the position of the Demon Clan and Hunyuan must be obtained.

I will resume my position as Demon Master after I attain enlightenment. Demon Master is still Demon Master, and Heavenly Court is still the home of Demon Master.

If Demon Master is unwilling, I will not force it. Demon Master's position will still be retained, and I will find another way."

Kunpeng was silent for a long time.

His face was illuminated by the light of Sun Essence Wheel, with a mixture of light and dark. The sinister look remained the same, but there were extremely complex emotions surging under the somber look.

He is weighing.

The position of Demon Master is a symbol of the authority accumulated by his countless Kalpas. Handing it over means that his status in Heavenly Courts will be temporarily reduced.

But what Dijun said is true.

Demon Clan really needs a Hunyuan.

Taiyi is in seclusion to attack Hunyuan, but Prove Dao with Strength is so difficult, no one knows when it will become successful.

The testimony of Fuxi has pushed Human Race to a new height on the Primordial Wilderness poker table. If Demon Clan no longer has Hunyuan in charge, the day Calamity Kalpa restarts will be the day when Demon Clan will be destroyed.

At that time, what's the use of Demon Master's high position?

Kunpeng put Dijun's hands together and bowed to Dijun: "Your Majesty, I obey.

Demon Master Hall will return Heavenly Court on the same day, and all the writing instruments will be sealed until His Majesty attains enlightenment and will be unsealed."

He spoke calmly, so calmly that even Dijun was a little surprised.

But Kunpeng's next words made Dijun understand what he was thinking--"

Your Majesty is right, Demon Clan cannot live without Hunyuan.

I assist Your Majesty with tens of thousands of Kalpa, not to become Demon Master, but to make Demon Clan become the most powerful race of Primordial Wilderness.

If I can hand over the position of Demon Master to help His Majesty attain enlightenment, this deal will be a good deal."

Dijun lifted Kunpeng up with both hands without saying any more words of gratitude.

He pressed Kunpeng's right hand on his heart and promised Demon Master in the name of Heavenly Emperor:

On the day of his enlightenment, after the Demon Master Hall reopened Hunyuan, Kunpeng was still Demon Clan's first civil servant.

Kunpeng smiled slightly, still sinister, but with a touch of extremely rare relief.

The news of taking back the position of Demon Master did not cause much disturbance within Demon Clan Heavenly Court.

Kunpeng actively cooperated, and the handover of the Demon Master Hall was completed within one day.

Thirty-six documents were archived and sealed, and Demon Master Hall's magical weapons were counted and recorded one by one. Kunpeng himself moved out of the Demon Master Hall and continued to participate in Heavenly Court's daily affairs as an ordinary righteous god.

Dijun stood in front of the closed secret room door deep in the Sun God Palace.

Taiyi has been in seclusion for an unknown amount of time. The bells of Chaos Bell echo vaguely in the secret room, and every bell rings with the heavy resonance of Law of Power.

Dijun stretched out his hand and pressed on the door of the secret room, and the power of the sun poured into the restriction in the door along his palm. After a moment, the door of the secret room slowly opened.

Taiyi was sitting cross-legged in the center of the secret room, and Chaos Bell was suspended between his palms.

The aura around him was deeper than before the retreat. The fragments of Law of Power were constantly vibrating and reorganizing amidst the bells of Chaos Bell. Each vibration made his Dao foundation more stable.

Dijun sat down cross-legged opposite him and told him the whole story of Fuxi's enlightenment, his decision to achieve Demon Race Fortune's enlightenment, and the arrangements for taking back Kunpeng Demon Master's position.

After Taiyi listened, he was silent for a moment, then gently placed Chaos Bell on his lap and looked up at Dijun.

There was a very relaxed smile on his lips, "If the eldest brother wants to take back the position of Eastern Emperor, there is no need to say so many reasons.

If the younger brother was greedy for power, he would not have left all the daily affairs of Heavenly Court to the older brother.

The name Eastern Emperor has always been just a title to me. All I ask for is Great Dao of Strength.

If Demon Race Fortune can pave the way to enlightenment for his elder brother, that will be the last major thing that Eastern Emperor will do for the Demon Clan.

Big brother, just take it back. Little brother doesn't need this Fortune. The Chaos Bell in my hand is enough."

Dijun stretched out his hand to hold Taiyi's right hand, and the two brothers' palms clasped together on Chaos Bell's clock.

The power of the sun and Law of Power collided with the clock, producing an extremely clear chime. The chime penetrated the secret room, penetrated Sun God Palace, and penetrated the entire Thirty-Three Heavens.

Dijun let go of his hand, stood up, and solemnly clasped his fists towards Taiyi.

He took back the position of Eastern Emperor from Taiyi.

Taiyi is still Eastern Emperor, but the title "Eastern Emperor" no longer carries any authority of Demon Race Fortune, it is just a purely honorific title.

When Ten Great Demon Marshals gathered among the Demon Marshal Palace, Dijun personally announced to them the decision to temporarily take back the positions of Eastern Emperor and Demon Master.

The phantoms on both sides of Guiche's neck raised their heads at the same time, and Jiuying's nine snake shadows shook uneasily behind them.

But Bai Ze took the first step forward and bowed to Dijun:

"It is Demon Clan's good fortune that His Majesty took back the power for the Demon Clan's enlightenment. Ten Great Demon Marshals's military power will be returned to you today."

The other Demon Marshal followed Bai Ze's stance and took the lead one after another.

Ten Great Demon Marshals's military power.

Demon Soldier Demon General has the right to mobilize, Great Array of the Stars has the right to schedule positions, and Thirty-Three Heavens has the right to command all levels of defense.

On this day, all will be taken back into the hands of Heavenly Emperor.

Dijun stood on Heavenly Emperor Altar at the highest point of the Sun God Palace, and Sun Essence Wheel slowly rotated behind him.

He closed his eyes and felt the Demon Race Fortune coming from Thirty-Three Heavens from all directions.

Demon Master Hall's calligraphy instrument, Eastern Emperor Hall's token of authority, Ten Great Demon Marshals's military talisman formation order, Haotian Yaochi returned the ceremonial powers of the Sikyong.

All the authority carrying Demon Race Fortune is concentrated on Heavenly Emperor at this moment.

He raised his right hand, and Sun Essence Wheel and River Diagram and Luo Shu flew out at the same time, intertwining into a complete formation of Great Array of the Stars in front of him.

The red gold light of Sun Star, the silver moonlight of Taiyin Star, and the starlight of three hundred and sixty-five Primordial Stars.

And the Fortune veins of every layer of Thirty-Three Heavens under his feet converged around him into a Demon Race Fortune long river that ran through the heaven and earth.

The figure of Dijun slowly disappeared behind the stone door of the secret room, and the light of Sun Essence Wheel and River Diagram and Luo Shu followed closely and disappeared into the secret room.

When the stone door closed, the whole Thirty-Three Heavens and Demon Race Fortune sank into the silence together.

Sun God Palace There was no one in the main hall, except for a very faint Fortune golden light that occasionally came out from the depths of the secret room.

It is clear that Heavenly Emperor is among them, and Demon Race Fortune is used as firewood to ignite the raging fire that attacks Hunyuan.
