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

He then said directly, "If we're talking about commanding battles, all of us combined probably can't compare to Ziya alone."

"After all, what Ziya learned at Wanshou Mountain was the art of commanding troops. So it would be better to give this decision-making power to Ziya."

No sooner had Daoist Ran Deng finished speaking than Ju Liusun immediately said, "Master Ran Deng is right. Ziya is the most suitable candidate. After all, he is the one recognized by Heaven for bestowing the titles of gods."

Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma, also nodded and said, "As the saying goes, every inch has its advantages and every foot its disadvantages. Only by making full use of our strengths can we remain invincible."

Master Puxian added, "After all, Ziya will need to be appointed commander at the Golden Terrace in the future, and the power to command the army will naturally be in Ziya's hands."

Jiang Ziya was overjoyed. He had been waiting for this day ever since he came down from the mountain.

In the beginning, although Jiang Ziya became the prime minister of the Zhou Dynasty, King Wen Ji Chang was still alive, so he could not wield absolute power and had to let King Wen Ji Chang make all the decisions.

Later, although King Wen of Zhou, Ji Chang, died, the disciples of the Chan Sect came to Xiqi. The power that should have been in his hands fell into the hands of Guang Chengzi.

Later, the Taoist Ran Deng arrived, and the command fell into his hands again. Now, after all the twists and turns, it has finally returned to his own hands, so how could Jiang Ziya not be happy?

However, she didn't dare show it on her face, and even tried to decline. But in the end, she couldn't refuse and reluctantly accepted the decision.

On the surface, she reluctantly accepted, but in her heart, she felt that she was the most suitable person. Therefore, her demeanor inevitably changed somewhat.

Just then, Wu Ji stumbled in and said, "Master, seniors, people from Fire Cloud Cave have arrived."

Upon hearing that someone from Fire Cloud Cave had arrived, Jiang Ziya couldn't help but smile. Now that he had just seized power, the arrival of someone from Fire Cloud Cave was truly a blessing in disguise.

He immediately said, "Since it is people from Fire Cloud Cave who have come, then quickly inform the King and have him lead all the civil and military officials to greet them."

What does the Fire Cloud Cave represent? It represents the legitimate lineage of humanity. As long as the Fire Cloud Cave gains its approval, the Great Zhou will no longer be considered a rebel.

But before Jiang Ziya's smile could even linger for a moment, Wu Ji poured a bucket of cold water on him.

"Master, people from Fire Cloud Cave have come, demanding that we hand over the Four Fiend Beasts. And the people who came are actually..."

Before Wu Ji could finish speaking, his forehead was already covered in a thick layer of cold sweat. His body was even trembling uncontrollably.

After all, he had just been with Jiang Ziya, happily welcoming the four ferocious beasts into Xiqi.

Wu Ji's pause made Jiang Ziya somewhat anxious, and he immediately snorted and said, "Who exactly is this person who has come, that he could make you act like this?"

Wu Ji swallowed hard and said, "This time, four people came to Huoyun Cave: Emperor Tai of the Human Race, Xuanyuan, Emperor Shennong of the Human Race..."

Wu Ji merely mentioned the names of the Yellow Emperor and Shennong, and everyone present was immediately shocked.

Two of the three human emperors have actually come, and it's because of the four ferocious beasts. Could it be that the four ferocious beasts have done something so significant that it has alarmed the Fire Cloud Cave?

The Taoist Ran Deng went straight to Jiang Ziya and asked, "Have you ever asked what the four ferocious beasts have been doing along the way?"

Jiang Ziya was utterly bewildered; he genuinely hadn't asked. After all, since they were allies, how could he pry into what had happened on the road?

However, recalling the weary appearance of the four ferocious beasts and the horde of beasts behind them, resembling a defeated army, he already guessed what was going on. "Although I didn't ask, it's clear they've been through several fierce battles. Could it be that they've already clashed with Fire Cloud Cave?"

After Jiang Ziya finished speaking, he looked at Wu Ji and asked, "What are the identities of the other two? Could it be that even Emperor Fuxi has come?"

Wu Ji shook his head, which made Jiang Ziya breathe a sigh of relief. He thought to himself that as long as Fuxi didn't come, there was still room for things to turn around.

After all, Fuxi was one of the six saints of Qinglian Island, and they were originally in an opposing camp.

However, to Jiang Ziya's surprise, Wu Ji suddenly gasped and said, "Although Emperor Fuxi is not here, the status of the other two is no less than that of Emperor Fuxi."

"Because they are Youchao, the ancestor of the Nest Clan, one of the three clans of the human race, and Suiren, the ancestor of the Fire Clan, also one of the three clans of the human race."

When Buji said those words, it was like a bolt from the blue. Everyone present was instantly petrified.

Even the three incarnations of the four saints showed worry on their faces. And they immediately informed their true selves of the news.

On the contrary, the Styx Ancestor couldn't help but chuckle to himself. He even thought to himself, "The Four Fiends? Their arrival is perfect. Otherwise, these ancestors of the human race would have no reason to leave the Fire Cloud Cave."

"Now look what's happened, even the Second Ancestor of the Human Race has come. Let's see what Xiqi can do. Handing over the Four Fiend Beasts will offend the Beast Emperor Shenni, and Hongjun's plan will be completely ruined."

"If you don't hand over the four ferocious beasts, it's tantamount to making enemies of these two ancestors of the human race. You might even be elevated to the status of being a public enemy of the human race. At that time, will your Xiqi still want to conquer the world?"

However, the Styx Ancestor was secretly pleased, but his expression was extremely solemn. He did not say anything.

At that moment, the sky above Xiqi City was filled with red clouds, turning the entire city red.

This inevitably startled everyone in the courtyard, who all came out of the main hall and looked up at the red clouds in the sky.

Upon closer inspection, they were astonished. What they saw in the sky was not a red cloud at all, but a sea of ​​crimson fire.

Moreover, this fire is no ordinary fire; it is the merit fire possessed by Suirenshi, the fire ancestor of the human race.

The next moment, a man dressed in animal skins appeared from the crimson sea of ​​fire.

He stood amidst the sea of ​​fire and declared, "I am one of the three ancestors of the human race, the Fire Ancestor Suiren."

The voice of Youchao spread throughout Xiqi, and all the humans in Xiqi knelt on the ground. After all, this was the true ancestor of the human race.

Even Ji Fa was kneeling there respectfully at this moment. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel secretly pleased, his thoughts being exactly the same as Jiang Ziya's.

Finally, he even spoke directly, saying, "King Wu of the Great Zhou, Ji Fa, respectfully welcomes the Fire Ancestor of the Human Race to Xiqi."

Suirenshi was not pleased by Ji Fa's respect. Instead, he snorted and said, "Ji Fa, the Four Fiends have awakened and have devoured countless humans, including several disciples of the Human Cult."

"In order to slay the four ferocious beasts, I, Suirenshi, had no choice but to leave the Fire Cloud Cave. I was on the verge of killing them, but unexpectedly, you invited me into Xiqi City. Can you tell me why?" (End of Chapter)
