Fire Cloud Palace.
The Three Sovereigns sat cross-legged in the center of the great hall. On the right, Shennong slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Emperor Sui and Fuxi, then gently closed them again.
"Imperial Brother, your mind seems somewhat unsettled these past two days," Fuxi said, opening his eyes.
Shennong said, "The overall situation in the mortal world has been decided. Yin Shang has won."
Before this, none of them had actually imagined such an outcome.
Fuxi nodded lightly. "And then?"
"I feel..."
Shennong pondered. "Di Xin, as the final Human King, is qualified to enter our Human Race's Hall of Sages."
The Hall of Sages was the sacred land of the Human Race.
After the era of the Three Sovereigns, the three of them had founded the Human Race's Hall of Sages. Anyone who had rendered great service to the Human Race could, after death, enter the Hall of Sages instead of reincarnation, and receive the Human Race's offerings.
The last one to come here had been Xiqi's sage Ji Chang, who was skilled in deriving the innate numbers and had once evolved Fuxi's Innate Eight Trigrams into the Post-natal Sixty-four Hexagrams.
Aside from those with meritorious achievements, every generation's Human King who had fought for the Human Race would also ultimately have his soul return here.
Fuxi murmured, "But I heard the List of Conferred Gods has already arranged a divine position for him."
"Then have them change the person."
Emperor Sui said calmly, "All things reincarnate; where there is a beginning, there is an end. The responsibility of Human King began with me, and now it ought to end with him. The heavy burden of the Human King finally need not be borne by anyone again."
He was the founder of the Human Race's Saintly Path.
