When Duobao shared his concerns with the overlord, the overlord's expression turned exceedingly grim.
He pondered for a long time before finally having to admit that Duobao was right.
"Senior, what should we do?" the overlord asked, a hint of anxiety in his voice. "Lieshan truly is an exceptional child...!"
The overlord could not continue. As Lieshan was now, he indeed lacked the qualifications to become the Human Emperor.
Duobao fell silent as well.
He had thought about this problem for a long time without finding a perfect answer.
Though he was a Sage's disciple with the cultivation of a Daluo Golden Immortal.
His strengths lay in cultivation and combat, not in teaching someone how to become the Human Emperor.
He could teach Lieshan to cultivate and wield Daoist arts, but he could not teach him how to achieve great deeds.
For even his Sage master had never taught him that.
In the end, Duobao decided to visit Mount Shouyang and discuss a solution with Xuandu.
Xuandu was his eldest martial uncle's sole disciple, an ancestor of the Human Race, and the teacher of the Human Emperor Fuxi. He had witnessed Fuxi's entire journey to becoming the Human Emperor and might be able to offer some guidance.

Duobao frowned. "Why?"
Xuandu merely shook his head with a bitter smile, a trace of reminiscence in his voice. "When Fuxi rose from the Huaxu Tribe to become the Human Emperor of the Human Race, I played only a small part as his teacher."
He paused, then looked at Duobao and
