Shen Nong Sought to Become Human Emperor, the Exposition Sect Gathered at Shouyang Mountain

Become the Human Emperor!

That would strengthen his daughter's fate!

Nu Wa's words kept echoing in Shen Nong's ears.

Zhao Gongming and the other Interception Sect disciples had always told him to set his sights on becoming Human Emperor, but never before had he wanted it so badly.

He wanted more than to strengthen his daughter's fate. He wanted to drag out whoever was scheming behind the scenes.

After thinking for a long while, Shen Nong left his house and found Zhao Gongming sitting in meditation.

"Master, I want to know about the Human Emperor."

As though he had expected Shen Nong to come, Zhao Gongming was not cultivating. He was merely sitting there, seemingly waiting for him.

"The truth is, you're a candidate for Human Emperor. The only candidate."

Shen Nong could hardly believe what Zhao Gongming had said. He pointed at himself and blurted out,

"Me?!"

Zhao Gongming was not surprised by his reaction.

"Who else? Why do you think Saint Nuwa and Liu Mang, an ancestor of the Human Race, came to the East Sea Human Race tribe? Why did they meet you? Why did so many of us immortals come here so early?"

"I wouldn't say it was all because of you, but eighty percent of it was."

Shen Nong knew that disciples of the Interception Sect and the Exposition Sect had taken apprentices among the East Sea Human Race, and that many tribal officials belonged to the two sects. But he had never imagined this was why.

"How can you be sure I'm the Human Emperor?"

"Before, I wasn't sure. But once Liu Mang, your second ancestor, arrived, I knew."

Shen Nong looked at Zhao Gongming in confusion. He did not understand what Liu Mang had to do with it.

"You'll understand someday."
