Laozi stood tall above Mount Shouyang, not riding an ox, but standing with his hands behind his back, his gaze majestic and unquestionable, declaring that he would, as the leader of the Leader of the Human Sect, re-establish the Human Emperor.

Upon hearing this, all the powerful figures changed their expressions, showing a mixture of surprise and delight, their expressions inscrutable.

The Green Lion White Elephant were immediately enraged and blurted out, "We have defeated all our opponents, and none dared to challenge us. In terms of strength, the Human Emperor should be ours."

"That's right, I'm almost got the Kongtong Seal, it's what we deserve!" Green Lion added boldly, though his tone was slightly guilty.

"This... is not fair!"

"Um?"

Laozi snorted coldly, looked at the two of them, and an invisible holy aura emanated from him.

The Green Lion White Elephant felt as if a million divine mountains were suddenly pressing down on them, making it hard to breathe.

They were so angry!

Just when everything seemed to be going to succeed, Laozi showed up and wanted to take over the whole operation.

If he had the power, White Elephant would love to chop Laozi in two with a pair of scissors to vent his anger.

"Taiqing, you've gone a bit too far!"

Just when they were about to give up, a cold voice rang out, and the figure of the Master Tongtian appeared in the sky above Mount Shouyang, staring at Laozi with an unfriendly expression.

Laozi frowned, calmly withdrawing his holy aura, and said, "Third Brother, do not interfere in this matter. Take your disciple and leave."

He was somewhat dissatisfied; Tongtian no longer even called him "brother."

"Heh, what a joke! Your Taiqing disciples are capable, but my disciples aren't?"

Tongtian chuckled and said that he had not come to take away his disciples, but to help them become the Human Emperor.

"Nonsense!"

Laozi gently rebuked, "Brother, I am acting in accordance with the will of Heaven. I hope you understand and will not engage in pointless fighting."

The words had barely left his mouth.

Yuanshi Nuwa descended upon Mount Shouyang, one after the other.

At this point, the Four Saints arrived, and their invisible pressure silenced everyone.

"Senior Brother Taiqing, the appointment of the Human Emperor is a major event and cannot be taken lightly," Nuwa said calmly, reminding Laozi to distinguish between interests.

Yuanshi did not speak, but sat quietly in the void. Even without saying a word, it was clear that he had come to help Laozi.

They're here to get a piece of the pie too.

The situation became clear instantly. Since Laozi had chosen to break the rules and establish a new Human Emperor, he naturally couldn't be allowed to monopolize all the benefits and advantages.

Laozi's gaze flickered slightly. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke, "You, who are vying for the throne of the Human Emperor, have instigated Slaughter and fought to the death. This is truly against the harmony of Heaven and Earth."

"However, there can only be one Human Emperor, and it cannot withstand such turmoil."

"I intend to establish Three Sovereigns— Heaven, Earth, and Man—to jointly govern the Human Race, and the chosen one will be selected from among you."

Upon hearing this, all the powerful beings were astonished, and then their eyes revealed a look of wild joy.

With three Human Emperors, wouldn't they have a very good chance?

Having weathered a series of fierce battles, there are not many strong individuals left, and the chances of them falling to us are very high.

"Taiqing, no matter what tricks you play, my two disciples must have at least one of them!"

Tongtian shouted solemnly, knowing full well that it would be difficult to monopolize the Human Race's fortune, and he could only take a step back.

Upon hearing this, the Green Lion White Elephant were immediately filled with relief and joy. Fortunately, they also had a master and a powerful backer.

"I Human Race, and one of the Human Emperor should be appointed by me!" Nuwa said calmly. This was the original arrangement, with Fuxi as the Heavenly Three Sovereigns emperors of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity.

The two Sages have already decided to reserve the thrones for three people.

Everyone was starting to get anxious; it was obvious that the Three Sovereigns had already made their reservations, and there was no place for them.

The Green Lion White Elephant are Tongtian's disciples, and Fuxi is Nuwa's brother; this is quite obvious.

Even Laozi frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "Good heavens, if things really go this way, wouldn't even I lose out?"

He immediately coughed lightly and slowly said, "Junior Sister Nuwa is the mother of the Human Race, and she deserves to be named one of them."

"And Leader of the Human Sect, there should naturally be one as well; this is ordained by Heaven."

"Junior Brother Tongtian, you can only occupy one spot; such an arrangement is extremely rare. Do you all understand this arrangement?"

Laozi looked at Tongtian and asked calmly.

Before Tongtian could even speak, Yuanshi became anxious.

What about me?

It was agreed that I would be one of them, so how come I'm suddenly gone?

"Brother..." Yuanshi began, but didn't finish his sentence, instead giving a frantic hint.

Laozi Tzu understood perfectly; he gave him a meaningful look and then transmitted a message to him.

After listening, Yuanshi's eyes flickered slightly. He looked at Nuwa without showing any emotion and said with a smile, "Junior Sister Nuwa, why don't you step aside and let your senior brother handle the matter of bestowing the title of emperor?"

"Hmm?" Nuwa's expression changed slightly as she looked at Yuanshi in surprise, even with a hint of disbelief.

"Yuanshi, what do you mean?"

Nuwa, her face veiled in frost, asked in an icy voice.

"Junior sister, you misunderstand. The Three Pure Ones have always advanced and retreated together. My elder brother and Third Brother are both among them, so naturally I cannot stand aside. We must advance and retreat together."

Yuanshi said with a smile, which stunned Tongtian.

When did we agree to stand together through thick and thin?

Why didn't you say that before?

Tongtian was dissatisfied and was about to speak when he suddenly received a telepathic message from Laozi.

"Third Brother, we are ultimately brothers of the same origin, so naturally we must stand together through thick and thin."

"Moreover, this is not only my intention, but also the intention of the Dao Ancestor..."

"Think it over... think it over!"

Upon hearing this, Tongtian's expression darkened, his mood shifting between light and shadow, revealing a complex mix of emotions, including some doubt.

Is this truly the Dao Ancestor's intention?

Do they want to sever Nuwa's connection with the Human Race?

If that's the case, why did you let her create the Human Race in the first place?

Tongtian was puzzled, his mind racing with thoughts, but he ultimately chose to remain silent, as if nothing had happened.

Ultimately, Laozi and Yuanshi were still brothers from the same root, and there was no deep-seated hatred between them.

He would naturally not turn against Laozi and Yuanshi for Nuwa's sake, nor would he turn against them simply because he disliked them.

"You..."

Nuwa was filled with anger, and her phoenix eyes flashed with icy coldness. She had figured it out: the Three Pure Ones had conspired together to take away her share!

"Junior Sister Nuwa, why don't you grant our request and let the three of us brothers advance and retreat together?"

Laozi forced a kind smile and asked softly.

"Impossible!" Nuwa said through gritted teeth, her voice cold and ruthless, her body surging with terrifying magical power that stirred up the wind and clouds.

The people of Mount Shouyang were stunned. Under Nuwa's wrath, they trembled and dared not look directly at her.

"Junior sister, you want to fight us? In that case, let your senior brother test your skills!"

Yuanshi said with a half-smile, which seemed particularly ironic.

Nuwa was furious, her eyes practically spitting fire. Even with her Sage temperament, she was so enraged that she lost her composure.

In the end, she didn't take action, but instead left behind a single sentence and disappeared.

"I'll tell the teacher about this and let him decide!"
