Chapter 154

Fuxi was silent.

He knew what Shennong was referring to. It was the destiny of the human race, which fell on the hands of a seemingly unruly ruffian.

This was something that Shennong, as one of the Three Emperors of the human race and the Emperor of Earth, could not accept.

To entrust the destiny of the human race to such a person... To be honest, not only Shennong, but even among the human race, many sages who ascended to the Fire Cloud Cave could not accept it.

"Fuxi, it's not that I cannot accept his origin, but I cannot accept his 'destiny'!" Shennong seemed to see through what Fuxi was thinking and shook his head.

Destiny?

Fuxi frowned, then seemed to realize something belatedly, and murmured, "So that's how it is..."

"What is the destiny of the human race?"

Shennong said leisurely: "It is a struggle with the sky, the earth, and all living things!"

"It was in this harsh fighting environment that our human race first emerged from the darkness step by step into the wilderness, established itself between heaven and earth, demarcated the nine states, and protected countless people!"

"From now on, this world will have a foothold for our human race!"

"But now, the destiny of our human race actually depends on the gift of heaven?"

"This is not the destiny of our human race, but the destiny of our human race that the immortals and Buddhas, as well as those high-ranking guys, want!"

The words fell!

Shennong heaved a sigh of relief, looked at Fuxi with a complicated expression, and said softly: "I am powerless to change this situation. After all, it is the sky... I can't resist it in this Fire Cloud Cave, let alone out of the Fire Cloud Cave."

"So, I am optimistic about Qin II."

"If he can resist this destiny, then I will recognize him as the new emperor of my human race!"

The Human Emperor!?
The light in Fuxi's eyes suddenly became brighter, and he stared at Shennong, who did not give in and was obviously serious.

"The new Human Emperor...can Qin II bear it?" Fuxi frowned.

"So I said, if he can resist that destiny, I will risk my life. Even if I have to face backlash, I still recognize him as the new emperor of the human race, and he can lead the human race to rise again!"

Shennong stood up casually, turned around and walked away, his back looking unrestrained and chic.

Only Fuxi was left sitting cross-legged under the Jianmu tree, looking at the world in deep thought and silence.

……

at the same time--

By the Dongting Lake, Qu Yuan slowly opened his eyes, as if he had sensed something, and raised his hand and gently clenched it.

In an instant, he could feel that the 800-mile Dongting Lake was under his control!

"This is Taiyi Jinxian..."

Qu Yuan let out a long sigh, which flowed for thousands of miles and stretched endlessly.

This is the five energies lingering in the chest, giving rise to the five elements, which are endless.

Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens, Qu Yuan's breath will last for countless years in this 800-mile Dongting Lake.

Unless one day, the 800-mile Dongting Lake dries up.

This is the great power of Taiyi Jinxian.

"Congratulations sir."

Ying Xuan stood not far away, looking at this scene, nodded slightly, with a slightly satisfied smile on his face.

This time of deification was a small attempt on his part, although the cost was a bit high, as it consumed half of his accumulated luck points.

But the results are worth it!
Qu Yuan was indeed conferred a title, and it was not as restrictive as the Conferred by Heaven and Earth. The former meant that one could no longer make progress in cultivation, while the latter meant being trapped in one place and having difficulty leaving.

But Qu Yuan was not restricted by these rules and regulations.

His only check and balance... was Ying Xuan, who bestowed the title upon him.

"Your Majesty, I, Qu Yuan, pay my respects to you!"

Qu Yuan came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and bowed to Ying Xuan with sincerity.

This bow truly represents Qu Yuan's submission.

After all, Ying Xuan kept his word and really conferred the title on him.

The most important thing is that this kind of imperial decree is extremely extraordinary, far better than the imperial decree from heaven and earth and the imperial decree from destiny that Qu Yuan knew about.

That’s right, others were just guessing, but Qu Yuan, as the person involved, knew very well that this was definitely not a conferment from heaven and earth or from destiny, but a third type of conferment that he had never heard of.

He could clearly feel the boundless destiny of humanity lingering in this world, as well as the true dragon protecting the country hovering above the clouds in the sky… At first, Qu Yuan was frightened.

He could never have imagined that between the clouds in the sky, above the territory of the Great Qin, there actually existed such a gigantic creature!
No wonder, Ying Xuan did not bring a large army with him when he went on tour, he was full of confidence.

"No need to be polite. You are the first deity I have appointed. I hope you can govern Dongting Lake well and dredge the river."

Ying Xuan looked at Qu Yuan's bowing posture and nodded with satisfaction.

It was not until this moment that he could be considered to have truly conquered this immortal poet.

"promise!"

Qu Yuan responded and said respectfully: "I will live up to your expectations!"

As the Lord of the 800-li Dongting Lake, it is his duty to govern this river area and allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment.

But Ying Xuan obviously wanted more than just this. What he wanted was for Qu Yuan to make more far-reaching plans for the Qin Dynasty based on his management of the 800-li Dongting Lake.

For example, make the aquatic tribes in other river areas surrender, gather under the command, and build a large army that can conquer the world for the Qin Dynasty.

This is what Daqin lacks most at the moment.

At the same time, it was also the reason why Ying Xuan did not hesitate to use up half of the luck points he had accumulated until now to confer the title on Qu Yuan.

The Qin cavalry was naturally invincible and victorious on the land.

But among the lakes, rivers, and seas, there are few armies capable of attacking one side.

So, Ying Xuan started to have an idea.

During this tour, he had also planned to go to the East China Sea to take a look at the place and see if he could build a powerful water army so that the Qin army would not be limited to the Kyushu area.

His ambition is huge... Jiuzhou is far from enough!

"Now that you have been conferred the title, the next step is to establish a government and a temple. My imperial carriage will stay in Dongting Lake for a while."

Ying Xuan's eyes pierced through the void and looked at the golden body of Qu Yuan in the spirit platform, which was shining with golden light. He nodded slightly. This looked like the Dongting God of his Great Qin.

Then, he said in a deep voice: "After the First Emperor's cleanup, the Dongting Lake has become calm and clear. Although the people can live and work in peace and contentment without being disturbed, they have also lost their fishing industry. This is a bit biased. You should work hard to improve it."

Ying Xuan came to Dongting Lake for inspection, which was also part of his original inspection plan, so it cannot be said that he stopped there specifically for Qu Yuan.

Of course, one of the reasons why he stayed in Dongting Lake was that he wanted to see how Qu Yuan planned to manage the 800-mile Dongting Lake.

This also gave him and other ministers a reassurance.

After all, the First Emperor had not bestowed titles on any gods in the past, so he, the Second Emperor of Qin, was ranked before the First Emperor.

If Qu Yuan could not give a satisfactory answer, at least the officials accompanying the emperor would have many complaints and even question Qu Yuan.
