Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 393 What kind of power is this?
As the nine cauldrons spun, the illusory images of the mountains and rivers of the nine provinces unfolded beneath Emperor Xin's feet. The earth veins of Sishui Pass roared, and nine dragon-shaped energies burst forth from the ground, coiling around the cauldron's legs.

Donghuang Taiyi naturally didn't recognize these nine small tripods as the famous Nine Tripods of Yu the Great. After all, when Yu the Great cast the Nine Tripods, Donghuang Taiyi had already been imprisoned within the Heavenly Dao.

Even so, Donghuang Taiyi could still see that the Nine Tripods of Yu the Great were extraordinary. He even sensed a completely new power fluctuation emanating from the Nine Tripods.

This fluctuation of power is somewhat similar to the fortune of a race, and also somewhat similar to divinely bestowed merit. However, there is a fundamental difference between it and both.

The former requires the race to gain the recognition of the primordial world in order to obtain the corresponding fortune. The latter can only be obtained if one does something of great benefit to the primordial world.

However, this entirely new power bypassed the primordial world entirely. It was born directly from the human race and bestowed upon a single individual.

Although this power is somewhat inferior to luck and merit, it is abundant and inexhaustible.

It's no wonder Donghuang Taiyi didn't understand. After all, when he was the Eastern Emperor of the demon race, he always used an iron fist to suppress the demon race and never thought of making the demon race worship and believe in him. How could I possibly obtain the power of faith?

Furthermore, the Nine Tripods of Yu the Great were forged by Yu himself using the power of faith. Therefore, they are naturally the best vessel to carry the power of faith, far superior to those idols and the like.

If Donghuang Taiyi can't figure it out, that's his own business. No one else will give him the time to understand everything.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Fuxi activated the Hetu and Luoshu, drawing upon the primordial power of the Hetu and Luoshu to move towards the Star Bell. The primordial power of the Hetu and Luoshu bound the Star Bell like chains, actually pulling out countless human souls from the cracks in the bell's walls.

Those transparent souls stretched out in the starlight, bowing gracefully to Fuxi and Di Xin. Then they transformed into specks of light and entered the Nine Netherworld for reincarnation.

Di Xin's eyes turned bloodshot, and the Xuanyuan Sword suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light. The inscriptions that appeared on the sword resonated with the Nine Tripods of Yu the Great.

A giant black bird totem appeared in mid-air and began to materialize.

Finally, it let out a series of loud bird calls, opened its beak, and pecked at Donghuang Taiyi, trying to swallow him whole.

At this moment, Donghuang Taiyi finally came to his senses and hurriedly summoned the Star Bell to defend himself. He managed to block the fatal blow from the Xuan Bird Totem.

"Impossible. How could such a weak and feeble human race possibly gather such powerful strength?" Donghuang Taiyi said to himself, his face full of disbelief.

Di Xin snorted coldly and said, "It's a pity that the human ruler mastered this power too late. Otherwise, how could you demon race have been allowed to slaughter my myriad alien races?"

"Today, our human race not only possesses this power, giving us the ability to protect ourselves, but also the strength to take revenge on the demon race."

"If you continue to hide within the Heavenly Dao, I will naturally be unable to do anything to you. But now that you have stepped out of the Heavenly Dao, then come and repay this blood debt in person."

As he spoke, Di Xin unleashed the Xuanyuan Sword. The sword energy transformed into a phantom of a black bird in mid-air, hurtling towards Donghuang Taiyi from different directions.

At the same time, the black bird in mid-air once again let out a series of loud cries, and stretched out its huge claws to grab at the Star Clock.

At this moment, Donghuang Taiyi was inevitably in a bit of a panic. He had no time to retrieve the Star Bell, otherwise he would have been struck by the sword energy of the Xuanyuan Sword.

Di Xin's cultivation has now reached the Saint Realm. With Fu Xi assisting him in battle, Donghuang Taiyi doesn't believe he has any chance of leaving this place. He'll inevitably have to return to the Heavenly Dao to be reborn.

Without regard for anything else, he transformed into a long rainbow and headed towards the North Sea. He was using the Golden Crow Rainbow Transformation Technique. At the same time, Donghuang Taiyi didn't forget to cast a spell, trying to retrieve the Star Bell. However, he discovered that the Star Bell did not return immediately.

It turned out that the Star Clock had already been caught in the claws of the Black Bird Totem. Although it was trembling incessantly, it was powerless to break free of its restraints.

Finally, she didn't even have the strength to struggle anymore, and simply fell into Di Xin's hands.

At this moment, Di Xin had reached his limit. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and fell from mid-air.

Fortunately, Nezha was quick-witted and immediately rode his Wind Fire Wheels to meet him, catching Di Xin steadily in his hands.

"Uncle King, Uncle King, weren't you so powerful just now? How come you vomited blood after chasing away that bird?"

Nezha's mother, Yin Shiniang, was the daughter of the Wang clan of the Shang Dynasty and the younger sister of Emperor Xin. Therefore, Nezha naturally addressed Emperor Xin as his maternal uncle.

Nezha dared to address the Human Emperor as "uncle" so directly because he had Emperor Xin's permission. Even if I were his own nephew, I wouldn't dare to do that.

At this moment, Di Xin's face had turned deathly pale, and his cultivation had long since vanished completely.

Even his hair began to turn gray, and in the blink of an eye, he seemed to have aged decades, becoming an old man on the verge of death.

Even so, Di Xin still managed to force a smile and said to Nezha, "My uncle is the Human Emperor, so even if it costs me my life, I will protect the human race."

As he spoke, Di Xin coughed up another mouthful of blood. His life force grew even weaker, as if he might pass away at any moment.

This made Nezha very anxious, and he hurriedly carried Di Xin to Chen Xuan's side. He then spoke to Chen Xuan.

"Grand Ancestor, please save Uncle King! Nezha is about to die. If Grand Ancestor can save Uncle King, Nezha promises never to be naughty again."

Seeing that Nezha was almost in tears, Chen Xuan couldn't help but pat him on the head and say something to him.

"If the current Human Emperor doesn't even know how to use the power of human faith, it would be better to choose someone else to be the Human Emperor and save the human race from its current great calamity."

Nezha was completely confused, as if he understood something, yet also as if he didn't understand anything at all.

"Does the ancestor mean that the King's uncle can save himself?"

Chen Xuan smiled and nodded, "Little Nezha is indeed clever. As a reward, your uncle, the Great King, should give you the spoils of this battle."

Although Di Xin was very weak at this time, he had not lost his five senses and six perceptions, so he naturally heard Chen Xuan's words clearly.

He immediately recalled what the humans had said when they contributed their power to him: to increase the king's lifespan and to enhance the fortune of the Shang Dynasty.

This instantly jolted Di Xin awake from his daze. He immediately mustered his last bit of strength and reached out to touch the Nine Tripods of Yu the Great beside him.
