A majestic wind rises across the heavens, a spirit of righteousness and loyalty shines forth!

The battles in the Primordial World intensified, especially after the Phoenix Clan's intervention. Some large clans and powers could no longer remain passive and began to expand.

For them, they never thought of dominating the Primordial Wilderness or occupying the human realm. Their real purpose was simply to share a little bit of Human Dao Destiny and Fortune and merit, after all, even a small mosquito is still meat.

After leaving Southern Heaven, Donghua arrived at Shouyang Mountain. Although it was nominally Donghua's Daoist temple, it had now become the territory of the human race. Of course, no one dared to occupy the mountain range where Donghua's palace White Lotus Cave, was located, nor would anyone occupy it.

"Greetings, Great Heavenly Venerate, Master!" As soon as Donghua entered the cave, his mount, Gouchen, rose to pay his respects.

Donghua glanced at Gouchen and said jokingly, "When did you become so polite? Why don't you call me 'boss' anymore?"

Hearing Donghua's teasing, Gouchen smiled sheepishly and said, "Master, I was young and ignorant back then. Besides, you are now the Hun Yuan Heavenly Emperor and the Great Heavenly Venerate of the Three Realms. How could I address you like that?"

Donghua smiled and walked into the cave. As he passed Gouchen, he patted his head and thought to himself, "Everyone grows up. Even this once flamboyant boy has become mature and steady."

He then said softly, "Still call me Boss from now on. I like that title. The Great Heavenly Venerate Venerable's authority won't be affected by how you address me."

Gouchen smiled happily. He was delighted by Donghua's words. Time seemed to have returned to that afternoon, still on Shouyang Mountain, when Gouchen first met Donghua, the master of the Purple Mansion and the Head of Male Immortals. Their fate began from that moment.

After Donghua entered the cave, which became his training ground, he never stayed there for long. It was a waste to leave such a cave for himself. Ironically, the longest he had stayed here was when he was waiting for the birth of the Kongtong Seal.

After so many years of cultivation, and with the addition of the treasured Twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus that guards the cave, the spiritual energy and Daoist charm of the White Lotus Cave on Shouyang Mountain have reached their peak. However, only Gouchen lives in this cave world, serving as its guardian.

"Gouchen, now that you are a Grand Unity expert, it's too leisurely for you to stay here. From now on, you no longer need to guard this place. I plan to send you down the mountain to follow Fuxi and make some contributions and gain merit in this struggle for humanity."

"Once you have achieved perfect merit, you should have reached the peak of the Grand Unity realm. At that time, you will no longer need to be my mount. I will bestow upon you the title of Celestial Lord of the Heavenly Court, allowing you to enjoy the rank and merit."

Upon hearing Donghua's words, Gouchen immediately replied, "Boss, you want me to go down the mountain for training? I have no problem with that. But I don't want any rank or title. I will always be your Grand Unity. Even if I become Quasi-Saint or Hun Yuan Immortal in the future, I will still be your mount. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today."

Since Gouchen became Donghua's mount, it has enjoyed the best cultivation techniques and the best treatment. Most importantly, it has broadened its horizons. Before it met Donghua, it had only seen cultivators at the Grand Unity and below.

However, after getting to know Donghua, he met Great Powers -Quasi-Saint, Hunyuan Saint. In his presence, Grand Unity bowed his head, Grand Unity lowered his eyebrows, and even Quasi-Saint treated him with respect.

Gouchen didn't really care about these things. The real reason he wanted Donghua to stay was because Donghua treated him well. Although he was nominally a mount, he was no different from a disciple; it was just a difference in name only.

Seeing Gouchen's resolute attitude, Donghua did not continue speaking, but instead instructed, "Since that's the case, pack your things and come down the mountain with me."

Upon hearing Donghua's words, Gouchen immediately rose to take his leave. After collecting some items, he revealed his true form, a majestic Gouchen divine beast appearing between heaven and earth.

Donghua glanced at it, then waved his hand, concealing Gouchen's original form and transforming it into an ordinary Qilin auspicious beast.

"Boss, you don't need to turn me into Qilin to hide your identity, do you? I hate Qilin the most, and I hate it when people mistake me for Qilin." Gouchen said with dissatisfaction after seeing the appearance.

Donghua didn't care about any of that. He transformed and flew up, patting Gouchen on the head and saying, "You're such a troublemaker."

"Let's go, follow me, Chongyang, on my journey to the human realm."

Gouchen to rise with the wind beneath its feet, then leaped up from the ground and headed down the mountain.

"Your Majesty, a Daoist priest requests an audience, saying he has something to discuss with you."

Inside the main hall, the Heavenly Sovereign was overwhelmed with worries about the affairs of the human race. Upon hearing these words, he felt a strange anger, mainly because the conflicts among the human race were all instigated by various Great Powers.

These Daoist priests are all wicked and scheming, but they are often very powerful and should not be offended easily.

The Heavenly Sovereign stopped what he was doing and finally said helplessly, "Enter!"

Not long after, Donghua, dressed in a purple Daoist robe and holding a whisk, stepped into the main hall. His long, silvery-white hair cascaded down his shoulders like a long, flowing river. His handsome and mature face gave people a sense of warmth and approachability.

However, when Donghua appeared, the Heavenly Sovereign's eyes immediately narrowed, because he could not discern Donghua's true strength at all.

He seemed to be Grand Unity, and also a Quasi-Saint.

Although the person stood there, it was as if they did not exist in this time and space, but were independent of the three realms, forming their own world.

The Heavenly Sovereign relaxed his mind, making his expression more natural, and then stepped forward, saying, "May I ask who you are, and what brings you to my human race?"

Donghua bowed politely and said softly, "This humble Daoist, Chongyang, has been cultivating overseas. I have heard that the Human Emperor is ambitious and intends to unify the Primordial Wilderness world of humanity. I have come here specifically to see what abilities Your Majesty possesses."

Upon hearing Donghua's words, the Heavenly Sovereign immediately became alert, looked at Donghua, and said in a deep voice, "I don't know where you heard this rumor, fellow Daoist. Neither my human race nor I myself have the ambition to dominate the world, nor do we intend to seize control of humanity."

Upon hearing Heavenly Sovereign's words, Donghua laughed heartily and said with a hint of deeper meaning, "Since Fellow Heavenly Sovereign dares to think it, why doesn't he dare to do it? Besides, the time is ripe now, why don't you step in?"

Heavenly Sovereign stared blankly at Donghua. He didn't know the background of the person in front of him, but what he said was truly audacious.

"Since you have such understanding, fellow Daoist, may I offer some guidance?"

Donghua looked at the Heavenly Sovereign and said, "Now that all the races are getting involved and Great Powers are betting on various things, all the major clans in the Primordial Wilderness have already begun to act. Are you still going to wait?"

The Heavenly Sovereign looked intently at Donghua and said softly, "Fellow Daoist, what can you teach me?"

Seeing the Heavenly Sovereign's caution, Donghua chuckled softly and then revealed his true form.

"Teacher?" Upon seeing this, the Heavenly Sovereign exclaimed in surprise, then immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Great Heavenly Venerate!"

Donghua gestured and said softly, "No need for formalities. I've come to tell you that the time is almost ripe. What you need to do now is to integrate the human race's forces, clarify the power structure within the human race, and arrange a way out for Fuxi."

"After everything is done, I will personally guide you to your reincarnation. When you return in your reincarnation, you will become the last Human Emperor and bring humanity to its peak!"

Upon hearing Donghua's words, the Heavenly Sovereign clenched his fists tightly, his eyes flashed with light, and he exuded an aura that was sharp and chilling.

Because this moment was one that the Heavenly Sovereign had been waiting for for a long time, until he could barely contain his anger. Heavenly Sovereign wished he could skin and crush those who were causing trouble among the human race and those who wanted to divide the human race.

However, because it wasn't the right time to act, the Heavenly Sovereign had been holding back, not wanting to delay the important affairs of the human race for the sake of these worms.

The struggle for humanity is no small matter; it concerns the entire human race. If we are not careful, humanity could be kicked out of this struggle. Even if we are not kicked out, we may eventually become playthings of Great Powers beings, without any autonomy. This is a scene that the Heavenly Sovereign does not want to see.

Now, hearing Donghua's words, the anger that had been building up inside him could finally be released. This time, he would wipe out all those clowns who were jumping around among the humans.

He didn't care what kind of background or power those people had behind them; if we're talking about background and power, who could compare to him?

With a Saint standing behind him, the Heavenly Emperor, known as the greatest expert in the Primordial Wilderness, what did he have to fear!

"Please rest assured, Master, I will definitely pave a clean path for the Holy Master Fuxi, integrate the human race, and wipe out all those worms," Heavenly Sovereign said resolutely.

Donghua just smiled and didn't say anything more. He didn't have much confidence in whether the Heavenly Sovereign could unify the human race.

Although the human race is nominally under the leadership of the Heavenly Sovereign, it has split into many factions, and many tribes have begun to obey orders but not proclamations, ignoring almost all commands issued by the Heavenly Sovereign.

Although the Heavenly Sovereign's side has many human experts, pacifying the various human tribes and integrating their discordant forces cannot be won by force alone, nor can it be decided by force.

Because outside of the human race, there are various powerful clans and forces eyeing the conflict covetously. These people are all intelligent; they know that so many people are betting on the human race, and the human race also has the background of Hunyuan Saint, so they will definitely intervene in this struggle for humanity.

So all these people are waiting; they are all waiting for an opportunity, even willing to personally intervene and split the human race.

Therefore, to quell the current divisions within the human race, we cannot rely solely on strength; we must also possess sufficient prestige and power to suppress the ambitions of certain individuals and force them to submit to us.

This is something that the current Heavenly Sovereign can hardly do. This period of dormancy has caused the Heavenly Sovereign to lose the support of many people, as well as some of the support of the people below.

Because these people did not understand the Heavenly Sovereign's predicament, they did not know the situation of the human race, they only knew that under the Heavenly Sovereign's leadership, the human race had become divided.

Their emperor did not respond effectively to these matters, or even ignore them.

In this matter, it's not a matter of who's right or wrong; from each perspective, neither is wrong.

Therefore, this is the most difficult problem for the Heavenly Sovereign to solve. Superficial divisions can be resolved with force, but internal and ideological divisions cannot be resolved with force.

Donghua did not tell the Heavenly Sovereign these things; some things are hard to understand without experiencing them yourself.

He wanted the Heavenly Sovereign to experience all of this, and to lay some foundation for his future Human Emperor, since being the third Human Emperor was really not easy.

Among the Three Human Emperors, the first Human Emperor faced the most difficult task, as he almost had to quell the nascent conflicts among the myriad races.

The second Human Emperor's goal was to consolidate the power of all races, unite them, and develop the human race's power—in short, to consolidate achievements.

The third Human Emperor is one who needs to thoroughly solidify the rule of the human race, eliminate all threatening and opposing forces, and completely establish the human Human Emperor as the master of humanity and the Protagonist of Heaven and Earth.

Therefore, the most difficult were the first and third Human Emperor!

The Five Emperors, who followed the Three Clans, were the masters of humanity. They developed the human race, promoted the development of humanity, balanced the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos, and humanity, and led humanity to glory.

Therefore, the selection of the Five Emperors required wisdom rather than strength.

After exchanging pleasantries with the Heavenly Sovereign for a while, Donghua said, "I will send an avatar to stay by your side to protect you. I am worried that some people will take this opportunity to try to kill you."

"Although it won't completely annihilate you, it will at least allow you to reincarnate. However, the struggle for humanity is right before our eyes. Once you enter the cycle of reincarnation, you will definitely miss this opportunity."

Upon hearing Donghua's words, Heavenly Sovereign broke out in a cold sweat. He was currently only at the peak of the Grand Unity realm, but with the help of spiritual treasures and the fortune of the human race, he was confident that he could fight against a single Quasi-Saint.

But if the other party wants him dead, they will surely strike decisively and will never give him a chance to succeed.

Moreover, even several Saint disagreed on his Human Emperor as Human Emperor, as it was not as secure as that of Fuxi and Hong Yun.

The positions of these two are not affected by the struggle between the Great Powers and Saint the Primordial Wilderness. Even if Donghua and Nuwa lose in this struggle, they will still be the Human Emperor.

The only difference is that their path to becoming Hun Yuan Realm was severed, meaning they could at most achieve the position of Human Emperor with the cultivation of Peak Quasi-Saint.

But that won't work. If he dies, even Donghua and Nuwa can't say anything. They can't possibly start another Great War of Hun Yuan just for his sake; it's unrealistic to even think about it.

He, the Heavenly Sovereign, believed he did not yet possess such abilities, so he should indeed be careful.

"Thank you for your guidance, teacher. I understand now!"

After Donghua finished speaking, he transformed back into Chongyang's appearance and left the main hall.

He then rode Gouchen away from the Shouyang Mountain human tribe and headed east, eventually arriving at the Huaxu Tribe, which is Qishan where Fuxi lived.

His purpose in coming here was specifically to instruct Fuxi, and he wanted to pass on some of his own ideas to Fuxi.

A seed was planted in Fuxi's heart, which eventually brought about new changes to this Primordial Wilderness.

"Humanity should not be merely human; it should be a fusion of all races. Anyone willing to acknowledge themselves as human can be considered part of humanity."

"That is, the great fusion of all races!"
