Honghuang: The chat group is full of big shots

Chapter 301 Taiyin Human Emperor!

The simultaneous appearance of fifty-three celestial bodies in the western wilderness had an unprecedented impact.

The confrontation between those Primordial Golden Immortals cast a shadow of destruction over the entire prehistoric world once again.

This serves as a reminder that in this thriving world, there remains a crucial unresolved issue.

This shadow of destruction slowed down the rapid development of the various schools of thought in ancient China.

"The Dao Ancestor did choose a very good time," Hong Yi said softly, looking at the celestial bodies floating in the western sky.

"The course of fate seems to be accelerating; the speed is already quite obvious," Meng Qi remarked.

"It's probably more than ten times the previous amount."

The acceleration of the fate process is specifically manifested in the speed at which fate nodes appear.

For example, someone destined by Heaven to possess the potential of a Great Luo Immortal might advance ahead of time, and with the blessing of Heaven's fortune, advance at a speed far exceeding the normal rate, quickly becoming a Great Luo Immortal.

From this perspective, Fang Xun's decision to cram all the figures from the various schools of thought into one era can be seen as a deliberate attempt to accelerate the course of fate.

However, Hongjun Daozu did it even more secretly, leaving no trace.

"Then let's wait for the next emperor to ascend the throne, and then travel to the west!" Fang Xun stared intently at the celestial bodies in the west.

"So, could this Emperor's ascension to the throne be considered... a journey to the East?"

In the original Journey to the West story, Guanyin Bodhisattva's journey to the East is a very important time point.

"I just don't know who they'll be..." Fang Xun said with a hint of anticipation.

Based on the calculation of the end of the Investiture of the Gods and the ascension of Emperor Taiyi to the throne, there have been more than two thousand Yuanhui (a unit of time in Chinese mythology), and the time of three thousand Yuanhui is not far away.

The remaining few hundred yuan will be the last period of development for the human race before the Journey to the West, and also the time for the fifty-three celestial worlds to merge into the primordial world.

Because both sides were making final preparations, the remaining few hundred dollars were unusually calm, with the East and West tacitly maintaining their independence.

Under these circumstances, all the schools of thought in ancient China made great strides.

On this day, Fang Xun and Hong Yi went to find Taiyi together.

"Huh? You've come to find me?" Taiyi was sitting in the Human Emperor's Palace, sorting out the human destiny.

Ordinary mundane matters were none of the Emperor's concern; his most important task was cultivation.

"You've come for the throne?" Taiyi quickly realized something. "Judging by the time, I've been sitting in this position for almost three thousand years."

"So who do you think is the best?" Fang Xun asked directly, without mincing words.

"There are too many people, I can't choose. Let them compete among themselves." Taiyi shook his head slightly.

Fang Xun Hongyi nodded in agreement.

“Among the current disciples, the strongest in cultivation, and those of the older generation.” Taiyi pointed his finger, and several streams of light flashed across the Human Emperor Seal. Within the streams of light were some people who were qualified to participate in the Human Emperor election.

Confucius and Mozi are examples of the new generation.

Then there are the older generation. Fang Xun even saw familiar names on this list, such as Di Jun.

"Does Di Jun want to become the Human Emperor?" Fang Xun asked.

This refers to Di Jun after his reincarnation as a human. According to the original story, he would be one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

However, the so-called Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors have long been disrupted and are no longer of any reference value.

"No." Taiyi shook his head directly. "My elder brother is seeking the Dao Fruit of the Primordial Golden Immortal."

"That works too," Fang Xun nodded.

"What about Yao, Shun, and Yu?" Fang Xun pointed out the three people.

These three need no further introduction; they are all extremely powerful and dazzling Great Luo Immortals of the current human race, and their contributions to the human race are enough to earn them the position of Human Emperor.

“They don’t seem to have any ideas either.” Taiyi shook his head again.

This puzzled Fang Xun.

“Everyone knows what the person who takes my place will face, and they all feel they are not suitable,” Taiyi explained.

“That works too. We can let the scholars take over; they are all the pride of the new era,” Fang Xun said.

The cultivation levels of the various schools of thought were not subject to restrictions.

They are all now Great Luo Immortals, and according to the rules, they are all qualified to compete. As long as they ascend the throne, the Human Emperor's Seal will naturally grant them the qualification to protect humanity.

“No, their withdrawal from the competition is not because of the philosophers of the new era.” Taiyi shook his head, looking at Fang Xun with a slightly strange tone.

"It's because of you."

"Me?" A question mark seemed to rise above Fang Xun's head.

"Your Majesty, who doesn't know how important the Journey to the West is to you?" Taiyi pointed out the problem.

"If you lose this time, the consequences will be more than you can bear."

Fang Xun frowned, as if he had thought of something.

"So, they think the key to this battle for the Human Emperor is actually how to help you win this journey to the West."

"They here are not only Yao, Shun, and Yu, but also Suiren, Youchao, Ziyi, Lieshan, and Xuanyuan..."

The "they" that Taiyi refers to here covers a wide range, almost including the oldest and most powerful group of "old guys" among the human race.

“You have done so much for the human race, so naturally the human race should do something for you.” Taiyi looked at Fang Xun earnestly.

Hong Yi chuckled softly.

"I can't possibly serve another term, that's against the rules." Fang Xun shook his head; he had to abide by the rules he set.

"The rules will naturally not be broken."

"It's just that this person is the best candidate..."

Fang Xun blinked and turned to look at the Ascending Platform.

Several hundred yuan will have passed, and the rooftop has long since been restored to its former appearance, standing proudly in the wilderness of Zhuolu, its surface bearing the mottled marks of time and endless fine traces.

The Ascension Platform has always been one of the most important buildings for the human race, alongside the Human Academy and the Archives. However, it is not forbidden for people to climb and visit it. It is just that the top floor has a strong humanistic pressure, and not just anyone can go up there.

But today, things seem to have taken an unexpected turn.

Many of those who went up on stage were trying to comprehend the Dao traces above, but in the blink of an eye, they all found themselves already off the stage.

"What's going on?!" Many people looked around in surprise.

Until they noticed that a celestial being, whose presence caused the heavens and earth to lose their color and all things to lose their light, was sitting suspended on the first step of the ladder to heaven.

Her radiant beauty outshone even the most wondrous creation; this was the favor shown to her by the Holy Mother of Humanity.

This extreme beauty strikes the heart directly, leaving many people stunned.

"Taiyin... Taiyin Xingjun!" This scene lasted for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea before someone remembered a legend of the human race.

"The Fairy Wangshu?!"

Many people were wondering which one it was.

The terms Taiyin and Wangshu both refer to the moon in the sky, but the primordial moon has only one master.

"Heng'e?!" In the Emperor's Palace, Fang Xun raised his hand to his forehead.

Fang Xun did see Heng'e on the list that Taiyi had just given him, but he had never thought of it that way, which is why he overlooked her.

In terms of qualifications, few can compare to her; in terms of cultivation, she is currently among the top in the primordial world; in terms of achievements, she is no less than Suirenshi and others, benefiting all living beings and creating all things. "Is this the person you chose?" Fang Xun couldn't help but turn to look at Taiyi.

“It’s not me, it’s them.” Taiyi pointed in the direction of the ancestral temple of the human race on Shouyang Mountain.

Fang Xun hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"There are no bad rules, no inside stories, and no blood ties."

“It would be better to prevent her from running for the Human Emperor simply because she is your disciple.”

At this moment, Suirenshi, who had not left the ancestral temple of the human race for a long time, came to the Human Emperor's Hall and said to Fang Xun.

"Heng'e..." Fang Xun's feelings were somewhat complicated at this moment.

It wasn't that he wanted to stop Heng'e; it was just that his mindset was still stuck in the days when Heng'e was still his disciple.

Is this disciple now trying to protect his teacher?
……

The fact that Chang'e appeared on the Ascension Platform was not concealed in the slightest, and the news quickly spread throughout the entire prehistoric world through the Primordial Knowledge Talisman.

With the day of the emperor's abdication approaching, the Ascension Platform is a place of great interest to countless people. Now, who can't see through Heng'e's thoughts?
"This!" Confucius's expression changed slightly upon hearing this news.

"This is against the rules!"

“Indeed, she is a disciple of the Xuan Emperor, and should be prohibited from participating in the abdication of the Human Emperor according to the rules of bloodline inheritance!” Confucius’s disciples immediately became agitated.

"Does the Moon Goddess intend to use this as a basis to ascend to the throne of the Human Emperor?"

The most important matter recently is naturally the abdication of the Human Emperor, and Confucius was actually a strong contender for the throne. If he were to encounter the Moon Goddess, then…

These Confucian disciples were in a state of turmoil.

"Keep your mouth shut!"

"Calm your mind and focus!"

However, in the next instant, a soft shout, like a thunderclap from the heavens, exploded in the ears of these disciples.

"How can bloodline and lineage be confused?!"

Confucius's voice shocked some unsettled people to the point of vomiting blood.

"Have you not cultivated the Heavenly Dao Techniques of His Majesty the Xuan Emperor?"

"Teacher, it was you who said that the Moon Goddess's actions were against the rules." A disciple coughed up blood, staining his chest, and was now bewildered.

"The time for abdication has not yet arrived, yet the Moon Goddess has arbitrarily guarded the foot of the Ascending Heaven Platform. This is against the rules!" Confucius's voice was deafening, making some disciples feel ashamed.

At the same time, in the human academy, Mozi looked at the Taiyin Star Lord below the Ascension Platform and shook his head slightly.

"There's no hope this time." He rationally gave up the idea of ​​becoming the Human Emperor.

Shangxian's ultimate goal is to become the Human Emperor, and he naturally has the idea of ​​becoming the Human Emperor.

But the opponent was too strong, and there was no hope at all.

The same words echoed in the minds of many, extinguishing certain thoughts.

In terms of strength, prestige, and achievements, he is far behind in every aspect. Such a competitor could not be defeated even by previous emperors unless Suirenshi came out of seclusion!
This event caused an enormous stir in the primordial world, but that was all.

The matter quickly subsided, and people seemed to accept the fact soon enough.

"The next emperor has been decided just like that?" Many people were stunned, but they couldn't think of any way to refute it.

This situation persisted for over three thousand years.

On this day, countless people looked up at the Emperor's Palace on Shouyang Mountain.

"Today, my term of office as Taiyi has come to an end. I invite all those who are interested in the throne to ascend the Heavenly Platform!"

At noon, Taiyi's voice echoed throughout the primordial realm.

Today's Human Emperor is no longer merely the Human Emperor of the human race, but also the Human Emperor of the Way of Humanity, therefore his name must be proclaimed throughout the primordial world.

hum!
As Taiyi finished speaking, a pillar of light shot up from the Emperor's Hall on Shouyang Mountain, reaching the heavens. Human destiny gathered, and Taiyi stepped towards the Ascension Platform.

At this moment, Heng'e, who had been suspended on the ladder to heaven for more than three thousand years, finally opened her eyes and began to climb the platform to heaven.

Chang'e, dressed in a simple Taoist robe, climbed step by step, her aura rising with each step, the radiance of the moon pressing down on the primordial world!
The moon appeared in broad daylight, radiating an extremely brilliant light that fell upon Chang'e, elevating her aura to its peak.

At this moment, all the Great Luo Immortals of the human race were present, silently watching Heng'e ascend to the heavens, and no one raised any objections.

This is probably the least surprising Human Emperor besides Xuanhuang...

Taiyi watched Heng'e walk towards the top of the Ascension Platform, and his lips twitched involuntarily. He was considered powerful, but he still seemed to be no match for her.

This should have been a silent coronation.

But there are always people who don't want it to go so smoothly.

boom!
In the western wilderness, among the fifty-eight celestial bodies, one celestial body, as bright as the sun, suddenly trembled, and boundless light and heat instantly broke through the primordial world shrouded by the moon's radiance.

"lunar?"

A figure that seemed to be composed of pure light and flame emerged from the sun-like celestial body and glanced at Heng'e.

Heng'e finally stopped and turned to look at the radiant figure.

"I don't want to concern myself with the succession of the Primordial Human Emperor, but the Taiyin Moon Essence is disturbing my cultivation."

The radiant figure headed towards the Eastern Ascension Platform.

"The Sun's Nothingness?" At this moment, Taiyi sensed the aura emanating from the radiant figure and couldn't help but change his gaze.

He was born from a three-legged golden crow, so he was particularly sensitive to this.

Even the way he cultivated was the way of the sun, but it was very different from that of the Chaos Demon God.

"The sun and the moon, existence and non-existence... it seems they are destined to fight." Confucius, Mozi, and others also saw the key point.

Only Fang Xun and his group were able to see through the trickery at a glance.

"That reason is far too lame." Fang Xun's expression was somewhat unpleasant. Heng'e was his disciple, and this was Heng'e's coronation ceremony.

"It's just about vying for a title." Meng Qi didn't care much about it.

"Or do you think Heng'e can't defeat that flame?"

“They just want fame,” Hong Yi said, shaking his head. “Going west to obtain the scriptures and going west to restore order are two different concepts.”

"Seeking the true scriptures" means that one's own path is inferior to others, while "restoring order" means eliminating heretical doctrines.

The differences are significant, and this ascension of the emperor was for the purpose of establishing this nominal "Eastern Tour".

"The absence of the sun?"

As the radiant figure approached the Heavenly Platform, Heng'e finally spoke.

"Your Taoist practices are outdated and should be thrown into the trash heap."

When Heng'e uttered these words, the entire prehistoric world was astonished.

"Haha! Heng'e is so eloquent!" Meng Qi laughed.

But this is really not a joke.
The radiant figure abruptly stopped, its materialized gaze falling upon Heng'e.

It seemed as if some kind of power had descended upon the primordial world, and a feeling of intense heat began to spread from the Sky Platform in all directions.

Like a raging fire, it burns endlessly, the temperature rising without end!
