I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

"Greetings, Heavenly Emperor." The old man exuded an aura of supreme authority, yet his demeanor was gentle and humble.

"Shennong is courteous."

Di Jun returned the greeting, then let out a soft breath: "I didn't expect that this dispute would attract all three of you."

The middle-aged man turned to look at the Valley of Immortals and called out softly, "Consort Luo, come out!"

Consort Luo immediately led the Moon Rabbit out of the barrier and bowed, saying, "Father."

Fuxi asked, "Why did this conflict arise? Please explain from your own perspective."

Consort Luo glanced at the gods, took a deep breath, and boldly said:

"From my own perspective, the eldest prince, unable to imprison me, went to the heavens to find the Empress. I don't know what means he used, but he got the Empress to agree to betroth me to him, and even issued an imperial decree very quickly."

I disliked the eldest prince from the bottom of my heart, so I planned to find someone I liked first, and then ask my father to speak to the Empress Dowager to stop forcing me into a marriage.

Unexpectedly, after the Empress arranged my marriage, the eldest prince became even more unscrupulous, completely disregarding my safety and determined to imprison me.

If it weren't for Qin Yao... I mean, the protection of Hou Yi and Chang'e, I'm afraid I wouldn't have survived until now.

Fuxi's eyelids twitched suddenly, and he turned to look at the eldest prince: "I need an explanation."

"Let me explain it to you."

Xihe said indifferently, "Consort Luo is a celestial being, and I am in charge of the marriages of celestial beings. Is there a problem with betrothing her to the eldest prince?"

The problem lies with Consort Luo; she actually wanted to find a random man to humiliate the imperial family.

Fuxi frowned and said, "That's sophistry!"

“Tell me, isn’t what I just said a copy of Consort Luo’s own account?” Xihe questioned.

“It is indeed a copy, but how can it be copied like this?” Fuxi retorted.

Di Jun let out a long breath: "Alright, alright, stop arguing. It's beneath the dignity of two supreme immortals to argue like this in front of so many people."

That said, the eldest prince acted without thinking, and so did Consort Luo. As for other matters, everyone has their own version of events, and it's impossible to reach a conclusion without them all. Let's just leave it at that."

"Just let it go?" Xihe roared, "Dijun, your own son's Achilles tendon is severed, and you're saying you're just going to let it go like this?"

Di Jun turned around and said, "Haven't you embarrassed him enough? With the shady things he's done, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to not only sever his Achilles tendons, but also send him to the execution platform. A doting mother spoils her son, and it's all your fault for spoiling him!"

Xihe: "..."

"What about Hou Yi? Shouldn't he be punished? I mean, for taking Chang'e away," the eldest prince asked, enduring the excruciating pain.

"I'll say it again, I wasn't taken away by Hou Yi," Chang'e cried out.

The eldest prince: "..."

"Alright, even if you weren't taken away by Hou Yi, you shouldn't have descended to the mortal realm on your own," Di Jun said. "Let's go, come back to the Heavenly Palace with us."

"I..." Chang'e was unwilling, but she couldn't find an excuse to stay.

"What do you mean 'you'? Don't make me angry," Di Jun said helplessly.

Qin Yao's eyes flashed, and he secretly transmitted his voice: "Chang'e, go back with him to avoid escalating the conflict; and with him as your father protecting you, your safety is definitely not a problem."

Chang'e privately responded, "Then I'll wait for you in the Moon Palace."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely come to the Moon Goddess Palace to find you after this storm passes."

Qin Yao transmitted his voice again, saying, "However, I must remind you of one thing: the people of the Heavenly Palace cannot be trusted, especially your Ninth Brother. He is indecisive and prone to fickleness. If you place your hopes on him, you will surely fall into the abyss."

"I've got it," Chang'e thought to herself.

"Sister, I want to go with you." At this moment, the Jade Rabbit suddenly said.

Chang'e pursed her lips, looked up and pleaded, "Heavenly Emperor, please allow the Jade Rabbit to come to heaven with me."

"I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it," the eldest prince said sinisterly. "This jade rabbit, it must be my servant, right?"

"no!"

Chang'e said decisively, "As everyone knows, your jade rabbit has already been swallowed by the dragon."

"You're talking nonsense!" the eldest prince shouted.

"Shut up." Di Jun's face was cold and stern: "From now until you step into the Heavenly Palace, you are not allowed to speak without my permission."

The eldest prince: "..."

"Let's go, Chang'e."

Seeing that he no longer refuted him, Di Jun said in a deep voice.

Chang'e took one last look at Qin Yao, then flew into the sky with the Jade Rabbit.

Seeing this, the eldest prince suddenly waved his sleeve and took the dragon into his robes.

Di Jun merely glanced at him without saying anything, then bid farewell to the Three Sovereigns of Humanity and departed.

Only after watching the family's figures disappear into the horizon did Fuxi lower his eyes to look at his daughter: "You've caused a terrible mess."

Consort Luo lowered her eyes and said, "The First Prince is cruel and tyrannical, I'm afraid..."

Fuxi was utterly helpless, then looked at Qin Yao and said, "No matter what, thank you for protecting my daughter."

Qin Yao paused slightly, then said in a deep voice, "There's something I'd like to discuss with the three of you."

Fuxi asked in surprise, "What is it?"

Judging from the other party's solemn expression, this matter is probably no small thing, and quite extraordinary.

Qin Yao said, "This matter is of great importance, so..."

Fuxi understood his meaning, and with a flick of his finger, countless golden laws condensed into a portal to space and time: "Let's go, let's talk inside the Fire Cloud Cave."

Qin Yao glanced back at Yue Xing, then stepped over countless demonic beast corpses and crossed the portal with Luo Pin, arriving inside a mountain that resembled a palace.

"No one in the world can hear the conversation inside the Fire Cloud Cave. You can speak your mind now."

After silently dissipating the portal between time and space, Fuxi turned around and looked directly into Qin Yao's eyes.

Qin Yao pursed his lips and said kindly, "What I'm about to say might be a bit shocking, so please be prepared."

The three emperors looked at each other, and then burst into laughter in unison.

That's rather arrogant.

Who are they? They are the guardians of humanity, the supreme beings of humankind, and ancient sages.

Let alone startling them, it would be quite an achievement if we could even stir up some ripples in their hearts.

"Go ahead and say it. We're all mentally prepared."

After a short while, Fuxi spoke with a hint of teasing.

Qin Yao nodded: "Let's change the Heavenly Emperor."

In an instant, the smiles of the three emperors froze on their faces, leaving them speechless with astonishment.

Beside her, Consort Luo's red lips were slightly parted, her face blank with a dazed expression.

The entire Fire Cloud Cave fell into a deathly silence, as if time and space were imprisoned by a mysterious force.

half an hour.

Fuxi gasped, "Houyi, do you know what you're saying?" Qin Yao nodded, "Select a peerless genius from among the human race and assist him in ascending to the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, who can be called the Jade Emperor!"

Fuxi: "..."

"Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!" Shennong shook his head repeatedly.

The Yellow Emperor, however, looked at Qin Yao with a strange light in his eyes, as if he were re-evaluating the man.

"I know this is difficult, but you should also be well aware of the current state of humanity."

Qin Yao said earnestly, "I have traveled with Chang'e for more than ten years through the Great Wilderness. What I have seen is that the people live in constant fear of their lives being destroyed and their clans wiped out at any time."

A monster that appears out of nowhere can devour the entire village like snacks, while the human race is utterly powerless to resist.

They prayed to the heavens, to the gods, for protection of their village, but the gods were too far away to hear their voices.

The Heavenly Emperor indulged in pleasure and didn't care about their lives.

"Three Sovereigns above, do you not wish to change this situation?"

"Leaving aside the gods of the celestial realm, let's talk about the celestial race itself. Di Jun and Xi He are both supreme immortals. Even if the three of us join forces, we might not be able to suppress them."

Below these two supreme beings are the Ten Golden Crows, all giants of the immortal path. A single burst of true solar fire from their fingertips can reduce a sect leader to ashes.

"That's why they are the number one clan in the immortal path, the celestial race. How can other immortals and gods compare?" Shennong said calmly and composedly.

Qin Yao flipped his hand and took out the Pangu Bow. With a gentle pull, countless laws of the Great Dao appeared on the bow, shimmering with light and releasing immortal radiance: "Golden Crow, you can kill it!"

These four simple words, paired with this divine bow, somehow made the three emperors sense boundless killing intent and confidence.

Shennong fell into deep thought. Huangdi glanced at Fuxi and suddenly laughed, "Houyi, I see you have a sword with eight golden crows engraved on it?"

Qin Yao silently put away the Pangu Bow and took out the Heaven-Slaying Sword: "This sword is forged from the bodies of the eight Golden Crows. No matter how powerful the true fire of the sun is, it can swallow it all."

The Yellow Emperor raised his hand and said, "May I have a look?"

"Of course." Qin Yao immediately handed the Heaven-Slaying Sword to the other party.

The Yellow Emperor raised his hand to take the Heaven-Slaying Sword, touched the extremely hot blade, nodded slightly, and handed it to Shennong: "Take a look."

Shennong was well aware of his ulterior motives.
Their third brother, known as the greatest war god of ancient times, rejoices in battle and is sure to win.

It is only now that we have cultivated our character and temperament; otherwise, the human race would have long since become a unified kingdom.

However, after receiving the Heaven-Slaying Sword, he had to admit that with this bow and sword in hand, Hou Yi could indeed be called the nemesis of the Golden Crow.

In the end, Shennong handed the Heaven-Slaying Sword to Fuxi, who silently infused it with immortal energy. Looking at the sudden surge of true solar fire on the blade, he asked with considerable curiosity:

"How was this sword forged? I am proficient in divination and calculation, yet I knew there were other golden crows in the world."

Qin Yao remained silent for a moment, then raised his head and said, "It is destiny."

Fuxi raised an eyebrow slightly: "The Mandate of Heaven?"

"That's right. Heaven bestowed upon me divine artifacts and divine power in the hope that I could fulfill the mandate of Heaven."

Emperor Jun once carried the mandate of heaven, but he grew old, lacked ambition, and indulged in pleasure. His so-called non-interference in governance was nothing more than a fig leaf.

"If this continues, the human world will become a demon realm, which is something Heaven does not want to see," Qin Yao said, half-jokingly.

Fuxi remained silent.

There aren't so many right and wrong answers; it's just a matter of different perspectives. From the perspective of the ancestor of humankind, Hou Yi's statement resonates deeply with him.

However... the idea of ​​changing the Heavenly Emperor still sends shivers down one's spine.

"Even if the three of us can fight against Di Jun and Xi He, and you have the ability to slay the Golden Crow, there is still one most crucial question: who can become the Jade Emperor?"

After pondering for a long time, Fuxi silently handed the Heaven-Slaying Sword back to Qin Yao and asked seriously.

Qin Yao sheathed the Heaven-Slaying Sword, his eyes bright and his attitude resolute: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, and this core issue is the beginning, which is also the most difficult part."

But then again, if I can handle this most difficult part, would the three of you be willing to help me?

The three sovereigns looked at each other, and Fuxi spoke first: "You don't actually want to become the Jade Emperor yourself, do you?"

Qin Yao shook his head: "Of course not, I have no such thought."

Shennong pressed further, "So, someone has already been chosen?"

"Not yet, but I can look for him, and I believe there will definitely be such an outstanding person," Qin Yao said sincerely.

The three emperors exchanged glances, seemingly communicating telepathically, before Fuxi finally made the final decision with a single blow:
"You should try to start first. If you can find such a talented person, bring him to Fire Cloud Cave to be tested by us."

You can't just say that whoever you think is capable can become the Jade Emperor, right?

As for the matter of a change of dynasty, that will be discussed later.

Qin Yao nodded: "Okay, it's a deal!"

"It's a deal," the three emperors said in unison.

"I'll go with you to find it." Seeing that they had reached a verbal agreement, Consort Luo suddenly said.

Qin Yao waved his hand repeatedly: "No need. This trip will be fraught with risks, and you might be a burden to me."

Consort Luo: "..."

If the other party weren't her benefactor, they would probably have already started cursing.

"Farewell, three seniors," Qin Yao said, clasping his hands in greeting.

"Be careful. Judging from the way the Golden Crow left, it definitely won't let you go," Fuxi said.

Qin Yao nodded slightly and quickly walked towards the cave entrance.

"Looking down on people is despicable."

After watching him leave quickly, Consort Luo pouted and said with a wronged expression.

Fuxi smiled and shook his head, about to speak, when the Yellow Emperor suggested, "Why don't you use the Hetu and Luoshu to calculate the future of this matter?"

"Yes, yes."

Consort Luo's attention was immediately diverted, and she said with anticipation in her eyes, "If the prospects are good, we can have more confidence."

Fuxi shook his head: "Other things can be calculated, but this one cannot."

"Why not?" Consort Luo asked, puzzled.

"If the prospects are good, it will make us feel cautious and prone to rash actions. If the prospects are bad, it will make us feel discouraged and even lose our fighting spirit."

Fuxi said solemnly, "Therefore, no matter what the outcome, it is better to be down-to-earth and proceed step by step."

Consort Luo's eyes flickered, and she smiled, "How about you calculate Hou Yi's future fate? That should do you good, right?"

Fuxi hesitated for a moment, but ultimately refused: "He was the one who initiated the proposal to exchange the Jade Emperor for the Heavenly Emperor. What difference is there between predicting his fate and predicting this matter? However, judging from his appearance..."

"What do you think of his appearance?"

Consort Luo was somewhat disappointed, but she still subconsciously pressed for an answer.

“It’s strange. His true face is neither alive nor dead, while his mask is neither alive nor dead. The slightest glimmer of life on his mask becomes a miraculous escape from a desperate situation when it falls onto his true face,” Fuxi said. “He has many secrets!”

Consort Luo's eyes gleamed with a strange light as she thought to herself, "I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to be the one to unlock this mystery..."

She was incredibly curious about what other secrets the other person held! (End of Chapter)
