Gu Changqing had been sprawled in his cave abode, seemingly dead drunk and fast asleep.
But at that moment, his eyes snapped open, and even his seemingly eternal drunkenness appeared to ease a little.
"Heh, the time has come!"
"The Celestial Sovereign must retire, and the Earthly Sovereign must emerge!"
Indeed!
Gu Changqing governed humanity's fortune, and now he clearly sensed that, within the unseen workings of fate, the tide belonging to humanity had shifted once again.
Fuxi must withdraw, and the human emperor position would pass to another.
In other words, the opportunity for Xuanyuan to emerge and attain the human emperor Dao Fruit had arrived!
At the thought, Gu Changqing's expression changed dramatically, and he immediately prepared to head among the humans.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared inside his cave abode.

Hearing him, Gu Changqing paused, then smiled.
"Heh, you truly are a Sage, Master. There really is nothing you don't know."
Though he did not directly answer Tongtian's question, his words confirmed Tongtian's suspicion.
With a faint smile, Tongtian continued.
"Heh, I sensed it in my heart and perceived that Fuxi's merit as the Human Emperor has reached completion."
"Presumably, a successor to the human emperor position should now appear?"
Although his final sentence sounded like a question, Tongtian spoke with absolute certainty.
Naturally, Tongtian had also noticed how Gu Changqing had thwarted the Three Teachings' earlier schemes and blasted Randeng apart with a single sword strike.
Thus, it was not difficult to guess that Xuanyuan was about to succeed Fuxi.
Of course,
