Honghuang: Fire De Huaguang, I am the Horse King of Human Education

As for the three from Huoyun Cave…”

Chi You's face revealed undisguised contempt and anger.

"Fuxi developed the Eight Trigrams, Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs, and Xuanyuan established the Nine Provinces. They certainly made great contributions! But what did they do after they became emperors? They hid in their caves and watched as sages stole the fortune of the human race and watched as the human race's martial arts declined and its spirit withered!"
What kind of human emperors are they? Nothing more than puppets under the sages! They are the ones who broke the backbone of humanity!

He grew angrier as he spoke, and his murderous aura surged uncontrollably once again, causing the netherworld energy within the hall to fluctuate violently.

Empress Pingxin sat calmly on the prayer mat, her expression serene, and did not interrupt.

After venting his anger, Chi You forcibly suppressed his surging blood and qi, his eyes gleaming with an unusual light.

"That Hua Guang, though... he's quite interesting."

"He wields the Kongtong Seal, a sacred artifact of humanity, yet his actions are entirely different from those of the saints. Before Chen Tang Pass, he dared to stand up for Lady Yin, confronting Randeng head-on; on the East Sea, he protected the Dragon Clan and suppressed the Dragon Vein, his words always showing concern for the foundation of humanity; what is even more remarkable is..."

Chi You paused, his tone carrying an approval that he himself was unaware of.

"He teaches martial arts!"

"I am at Chentang Pass. Although my true spirit is sealed, I can still sense the outside world. Over the years, a faint but tenacious 'intention' has been circulating in the human world. It is neither immortal nor Taoist, but the true intention of martial arts that tempers the body and tempers the will!"

It was this accumulation of 'intention,' coupled with the humanitarian will that erupted from the people of Chentang Pass in their time of crisis, that broke through part of the seal placed on Old Man Xuanyuan, allowing me to condense a portion of my true spirit and escape ahead of schedule! Even…”

He opened his palm, and a wisp of primordial energy flowed in his palm, exuding a profound, ancient, and all-encompassing aura.

"This wisp of Xuanhuang merit energy also originates from here! The spread of martial arts strengthens the physique and spirit of the human race, which is a great merit! That kid Huaguang is prolonging the life of the human race and forging the soul of the human race!"

Chi You's eyes flashed with a sharp light, carrying a penetrating insight into the ways of the world.

"He is no ordinary man! I dare say that if he were to truly confront those saints who have stolen the fortune of humanity, he would surely seek to cooperate with my Witch Clan!"
The Wu Clan's spirit of fighting against heaven and earth, and their methods of tempering the physical body and developing bloodline potential, are precisely the key to completing his martial arts and resisting the lineage of the sages!

Empress Pingxin had been listening attentively, and finally spoke slowly, her voice calm yet knowing.

"You guessed right."

Chi You suddenly turned his head.

"Miss?"

"Before you escaped, Huaguang had already gone through the six realms of reincarnation."

Empress Pingxin's gaze seemed to pierce through time and space.

"He held the Kongtong Seal and, in the name of humanity, discussed cooperation with me. His intention was to borrow the combat techniques and bloodline tempering methods of the Wu Clan and integrate them into his martial arts system to strengthen the foundation of the human race in order to cope with the great calamity to come and resist the sages' seizure."

Chi You was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter, which echoed in the empty hall, filled with joy and pride.

"Hahaha! Well done! What a fine Hua Guang! He truly has courage and foresight! He actually dared to venture into the Netherworld to seek out my Witch Clan! This boy deserves to stand shoulder to shoulder with me!"

He strode up to Empress Pingxin's seat, his gaze intense.

"Your Majesty! Since that's the case, I cannot sit here idly! I must go to the front lines of the human race to find Hua Guang! I will fight alongside him, lend him a hand, and unite the human race as one!"

Only a unified human will and a united force of humanity can truly stand against those lofty saints!

Empress Pingxin looked at the burning fighting spirit in his eyes, remained silent for a moment, and was about to speak. Suddenly!
A vast, boundless power, seemingly originating from the primordial will of the earth, pierced through the layers of spatial barriers of the Six Paths of Reincarnation without warning and descended upon the Pingxin Hall!
This power is majestic and righteous, encompassing all things; it is the pure destiny of humanity!

Immediately afterwards, a clear and majestic voice resounded throughout the primordial world, and naturally also clearly entered the depths of the netherworld.

"Master of the Kongtong Seal, Huaguang, hereby proclaims to the primordial world and all living beings of the human race!"

"In ancient times there was a sage named Chi You! His achievements must not be forgotten by the human race!"

"Firstly, he created weapons! Axes, halberds, hooks, forks, swords, spears, and halberds—all weapons originated from Chi You! This enabled the human race to wield sharp weapons, ward off ferocious beasts, and resist foreign invasions, thus laying the foundation for their existence in the primordial world! This is the merit of protecting the race and upholding the Way!"

"Secondly, it pioneered martial arts! It strengthens muscles and bones, invigorates blood and qi, tempers willpower, and opens the door to unlocking the physical potential of the human race! The spirit of martial arts is the indomitable soul of the human race and the foundation of their continuous self-improvement! This is the achievement of forging the soul and establishing the spirit!"

"These two achievements will benefit countless generations and are a great blessing to the primordial world! They should be ranked alongside the Three Sovereigns and honored as the Holy Emperor of the Human Race!"

"Today, with the sacred artifact of humanity, the Kongtong Seal, as proof, and with the fortune of countless human beings as witness, I hereby confer upon Chi You the title of the Fourth Holy Emperor of the Human Race—the Martial Emperor! May he enjoy the incense offerings of the Human Race and be revered for all eternity! Heaven and Earth bear witness! May humanity prosper forever!"

The moment the imperial edict resounded throughout the primordial world, a strange change occurred within the Pingxin Hall!
The vast human fortune, carrying the dazzling and brilliant Xuanhuang merit, ignored all spatial barriers and poured into Chi You's body!

"Ugh—!"

Chi You let out a low roar that was not human, and his body expanded violently and uncontrollably, instantly transforming into a giant ten thousand feet tall!
The black and red malevolent aura that originally surrounded him quickly shed its ferocity under the pure and vast human fortune and golden light of merit, transforming into a powerful, robust, and earth-shattering aura!

The third eye on his forehead shone with golden light, shooting out a beam of light that pierced through the netherworld. His originally ferocious face, illuminated by the golden light of merit, revealed a majestic and sacred outline!

His aura was rising steadily!
The broken true spirit was completely restored, and the depleted essence was instantly replenished, becoming even more powerful and refined than during the primordial era!
An aura of nobility, majesty, and the capacity to bear the weight of all people, belonging to the "emperor," naturally emanated from him!
Meanwhile, on the primordial land, inhabited by the human race of the Nine Provinces.

Whether kings and generals or commoners, whether powerful cultivators or ordinary people, everyone has a clear image imprinted in their minds: a towering figure, wielding a giant blade, with a fighting spirit soaring to the heavens!

That figure carried the vastness of antiquity, the indomitable fighting spirit, and the light of the origin of human martial arts!
"Emperor Wu! Chi You!"

"Greetings, Empress Wu!"

"Human Martial Emperor!"

Countless humans, whether or not they knew the ancient secrets, felt a resonance and reverence from the depths of their souls at this moment, and involuntarily bowed down in the direction of the figure in their minds!

The power of incense offerings and the beliefs of humanity transcend time and space, continuously converging upon Chi You in the depths of the netherworld!

This is not merely an honorary title, but a recognition of the collective will of humanity! It is the voluntary submission and blessing of human destiny!

"Huaguang...!"

Chi You felt the unprecedented, surging power within his body, and the recognition and reverence from the depths of the souls of billions of humans. For the first time, his scarlet eyes welled up with tears.

That was a tremendous shock of being recognized, accepted, and respected!
It was even more awe-inspiring than when he led the Wu tribe across the prehistoric world!

He clenched his fists tightly, his aura receded, and his towering body returned to normal. However, the majesty and power of the "Martial Emperor" were deeply imprinted in every inch of his flesh and soul.

He looked at Consort Pingxin, his voice trembling slightly with excitement, yet filled with unprecedented determination and pride.

"Your Majesty! Do you see this? This is the human race! This is the race that I, Chi You, am obliged to protect!"

Hua Guang treated me like a national hero, and I will repay him as a national hero!

Without further hesitation, he bowed solemnly to Consort Pingxin.

"Please grant me permission, Your Majesty, to proceed to the front lines of the human race immediately! I wish to stand shoulder to shoulder with Huaguang and fight for our human race to create a bright and just world! I assure you, I will do my utmost to promote the integration of the witch race and the human race!"

From this day forward, I, Chi You, am the Martial Emperor of the Human Race! The Witch Clan is also a branch of the Human Race! "Get out!"

Chi You called out.

"Ouch!"

The Iron-Eating Beast, which had already sensed its master's change, excitedly rushed in from outside the hall. Its body instantly grew larger, looking both adorable and exuding a fierce aura.

It affectionately nuzzled Chi You with its large head, seemingly cheering for its master's rebirth.

Chi You flipped himself onto the raging ram, patted its fluffy head, and looked at Lady Pingxin with undisguised eagerness and fighting spirit in his eyes.

Looking at the transformed and imposing Chi You before her, and at the equally excited Iron-Eating Beast beneath him, Empress Pingxin's eyes held a mixture of satisfaction and subtle complexity.

She nodded slightly, her voice gentle.

"Go. This is your path, and also the opportunity for the Witch Clan. The Gates of the Underworld are always open for you."

"Thank you, empress!"

Chi You responded loudly, and with a swift movement, the beast rolled away.

"let's go!"

With its hooves thundering and the aura of the underworld parting to create a path, Chi You was about to rush towards the reincarnation passage leading to the primordial world.

"and many more!"

A deep, thunderous voice rang out.

Xing Tian's tall figure strode out from the shadows outside the hall, his headless neck facing Chi You, his eyes on his chest filled with intense desire and fighting spirit.

"Brother Chi You! Take me with you! I want to go too! For you, for humanity, and for the Wu tribe, let's fight against the primordial chaos once more!"

Chi You looked at his brother who had shared life and death with him, feeling his equally boiling battle blood, and laughed loudly.

"Hahaha! Good! Xingtian! You and I, brothers, will stand shoulder to shoulder once more!"

He then turned to look at Consort Pingxin.

Empress Pingxin looked at Xing Tian, ​​then at the spirited Chi You, and finally sighed softly and waved her hand.

"Let's go together. Be careful during this great calamity."

"Thank you for granting my request, Your Majesty!"

Xing Tian responded with a booming voice, his massive body taking a step forward, closely following Chi You.

With an excited growl, Gun Gun carried the newly crowned human Martial Emperor Chi You and the ancient War God Xing Tian, ​​transforming into two streams of light intertwined with murderous aura and battle intent. They rushed into the Cycle of Reincarnation and sped toward the human front line where the flames of war were about to rise!

Silence returned to the Pingxin Palace, with only the gaze of Empress Pingxin piercing through the darkness, carrying profound meaning as she looked towards the unknown future.

Inside the Pingxin Hall, the aura of the netherworld flowed like ink.

Xing Tian, ​​his headless and towering body, knelt on one knee, his eyes fixed on Lady Pingxin, surging with a longing that had been suppressed for millennia and a fighting spirit that was almost pleading.

He spoke in a deep, resonant voice that echoed throughout the empty hall.

"Your Majesty! Xing Tian is willing to accompany the Martial Emperor! The war spirit of the Witch Clan should not be trapped in the Netherworld forever! Please grant my request, Your Majesty!"

Empress Pingxin sat upright on the futon, her gaze falling on Xing Tian, ​​yet seemingly penetrating him to see the countless remnant souls of the Wu clan wandering and languishing in the depths of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

These warriors, who once fought against heaven and earth, can now only lick their wounds and reminisce about their past glories in the shadow of reincarnation.

Chi You's return and the Emperor Wu's decree were like a thunderclap, splitting the eternal silence and igniting the flames of war that had never truly died out in the hearts of all the Wu tribes.

She sighed softly, a sigh that seemed to contain the vicissitudes and helplessness of reincarnation, yet also carried a resolute understanding.

"The Witch Clan... definitely needs to change."

Her voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable power.

"The ancient world is no longer the age of witches and demons. The cycle of heaven has turned, and the human race should rise. The path of Chi You, to integrate into the human race as a martial emperor and to revitalize the witch race by borrowing the fortune of the human race, may truly be... the only way for our race to survive."

Her gaze refocused on Xing Tian, ​​becoming deep and solemn.

"Cooperation with the human race is not about dependence, but about symbiosis. Chi You has become the Martial Emperor of the human race. You will follow him, so remember this. The courage of the Wu tribe should be the shield of the human race; the strength of the Wu tribe should be the spear of the human race. We should not repeat the mistakes of the past and start unnecessary conflicts again."

Xing Tian's eyes, located between his chest and abdomen, burst forth with astonishing brilliance. He pounded his chest with his fists and uttered a deep, drum-like vow.

"Xingtian will remember the Empress's teachings! He will follow the Martial Emperor, protect our human race, and bring glory to our witch clan!"

"good."

Empress Pingxin nodded slightly, and a faint light flowed from her fingertips, forming a profound and mysterious mark with six illusory shadows rotating in mid-air.

This mark is neither gold nor jade, but contains the aura of the origin of reincarnation, and seems to be faintly connected to the entire underworld.

"This is the Six Paths Mark, to protect you. Holding this mark, you can draw upon the power of reincarnation, which may save your life in critical moments. It can also open a passage to the Netherworld in times of crisis."

With a flick of her finger, the six marks transformed into a beam of ghostly light, instantly piercing into Xing Tian's broad chest and imprinting a slowly rotating six-pointed star pattern on his bronze skin before disappearing without a trace, leaving only a barely perceptible ghostly fluctuation.

"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Majesty!"

Xing Tian trembled with excitement, feeling the immense power contained within the mark and the Queen's expectations.

He suddenly stood up, and his already tall body swelled even more in his excitement. The powerful evil aura of the witch clan spread out uncontrollably, causing the netherworld energy in the hall to surge violently.

He bowed deeply to Lady Pingxin one last time, then turned around, took a step, the earth trembled, and his figure transformed into a violent black streak of light, rushing towards the direction of the reincarnation passage where Chi You had left!

That impatient posture seemed to be about to unleash the fighting spirit that had been imprisoned for ten thousand years!

Inside the cycle of reincarnation, bizarre and fantastical things unfold, and time and space are distorted.

Chi You, riding his iron-eating beast, was breaking through layers of dark barriers and speeding towards the primordial world.

Suddenly, the space around him trembled violently!

It was not an attack, but a proactive response from the vast and boundless human will of the primordial world!
Just as Chi You was about to break free of the cycle of reincarnation and step into the primordial world, a massive amount of dazzling and radiant Xuanhuang merit energy, like a bursting dam of stars, descended with a deafening roar, disregarding spatial distance! (End of Chapter)
