Honghuang: Starting from the Enlightenment of the Great Emperor Dongyue

Chapter 11 Surrender
Eighty-one years later.

The originally dilapidated Taishan Divine Realm has been completely renewed after being sorted out by Taicang.

Flowers, plants and trees are thriving, the air is filled with spiritual energy, birds, beasts, insects and fish live freely, and the place is full of vitality.

Taicang's divine consciousness surged out like a tide, covering the entire Taishan divine realm. Millions of miles of mountains and rivers were under his control, just like reading lines on the palm of his hand.

In the clear sky, the wind and clouds suddenly changed. The originally blue sky was now covered by colorful auspicious clouds, with thousands of rays of light and auspicious colors, sacred and solemn.

In the sky, faint sounds of heavenly music could be heard, as if countless ancient gods were celebrating for Taicang.

Amidst the endless auspicious clouds, an ancient divine seal slowly took shape, emitting mighty divine power.

This divine seal is none other than the Dongyue Divine Seal, which symbolizes the Dongyue God’s position in heaven and earth!
The divine seal was green and yellow in color, simple and majestic, with the majestic shadow of Mount Tai carved on it. The domineering aura of the Five Mountains gushed out, which was awe-inspiring.

Surrounding the divine seal, there are countless mysterious runes, emitting brilliant divine light of laws, illuminating all directions.

The next moment, the divine seal turned into a stream of light and merged into Taicang's body.

At the same time, the [Heavenly Book] in Taicang's hand also changed.

On the page of earth gods, after Mount Tai, the name of Taicang suddenly appeared, as well as his corresponding divine position, the Emperor of Dongyue: Taicang.

In the [Map of Mountains, Rivers and States], the location of Mount Tai has become more solid, as if it has merged with the real world.

With the blessing of the karma position of heaven and earth, Taicang also had a deeper understanding of the way of earth/land and the way of the gods he created.

Suddenly, the entire Taishan Divine Realm shook violently, and countless mountains and rivers were cheering, celebrating the birth of the new Emperor Dongyue.

Taicang felt that there was a great power blessing him from somewhere. This power was vast and boundless, yet warm and peaceful, as reassuring as a mother's embrace.

This is the recognition of heaven and earth to him, and the authority he deserves as the Emperor of Dongyue.

At the same time, he also felt more clearly the connection between himself and the heaven and earth. It was an indescribable close connection. He was a part of this heaven and earth, and this heaven and earth also belonged to him.

Within the sacred realm of Mount Tai, he can cause mountains to collapse and earth veins to reverse with a single thought. This is the great power of the karma position of heaven and earth.

Correspondingly, he also felt the strict rules between heaven and earth, which were the iron laws that maintained the order of heaven and earth.

Heaven and earth are spiritual, and good deeds will be rewarded. However, if you dare to destroy the balance between heaven and earth and disrupt the order of the world, you will be punished by heaven. At the very least, your position will be reduced and you will become a mortal. At the worst, you will die and your soul will be destroyed!

Only then did he truly and completely control the position of the Emperor Dongyue in heaven and earth.

………………

On the other side, the Nanming Lihuo burned the broken dragon soul of Bixi and never went out for eighty-one years.

Nanming Lihuo, the innate Lihuo, is the nemesis of all filth in the world. Even if the evil spirit is as small as a maggot in the bone, it will be refined bit by bit and dissipated between heaven and earth.

After eighty-one years of burning in the fire, as the evil spirit diminished, Bixi's consciousness gradually became clear.

He once tried to communicate with heaven and earth, but found that the fortune of the dragon clan had declined to even a fraction of its heyday!

He tried hard to sense the aura of his father, the Ancestral Dragon. However, no matter how he mobilized his bloodline, he could not sense that familiar pressure. Zhuque witnessed Bixi's pain and confusion, and his heart was slightly complicated.

She recounted the whole story of the first catastrophe of Longhan, how Taicang created the way of gods, transformed himself into the earth veins, made up for the mistakes of the three tribes, and the changes in the current situation of the prehistoric world.

Bixi listened to Zhuque's story and began to reflect. In the end, he had to admit that the decline of the three tribes was due to fate and also their own fault.

"Bixie, you have been dead for many years and know nothing about the present world! The Emperor created the way of gods, set an example by himself, and turned himself into the veins of the earth to make up for the mistakes made by my three clans. Even if your father, the dragon, were to be resurrected, he would not dare to disrespect the Emperor!" said Zhuque.

Bixi seemed not to hear what was said, with empty eyes staring at the East China Sea, his heart was full of ups and downs. The glory of the Dragon Palace in the past has now become a thing of the past.

Taicang completely took control of Dongyue's position, the divine light around him was restrained, he took a step forward and returned to the side of Zhuque and Bixi.

Taicang's gaze was as calm as water, falling on the broken dragon soul of Bixi.

In the eighty-first year of the Nanming Lihuo, although Bixi's dragon soul was riddled with holes, it had also washed away the evil spirit, revealing some of the majesty that the former dragon prince should have.

Bixi felt a mixture of emotions. The dignity of the Dragon Prince was now gone. He slowly lowered his proud head and whispered, "Emperor, Bixi just offended you. I deserve death."

This sudden confession startled Suzaku.

She originally thought that even if Bixi was awake, he would definitely consider the face of the dragon clan, but she didn't expect him to be so straightforward.

Taicang nodded slightly.

"What's the crime?"

He was standing with his hands behind his back at this moment, the ochre-colored aura of Taoism around him had not yet dissipated, and he was completely integrated with the Taishan Divine Realm, like a question from heaven and earth.

The Bixi Dragon Soul seemed to recall the horrors of the Dragon Han Dynasty's initial catastrophe, and a hint of bitterness lingered in his voice: "The Dragon Clan unleashed a murderous catastrophe, shattering the prehistoric world and causing countless lives to be destroyed. This is a heinous crime! As the crown prince of the Dragon Clan, Bixi cannot escape blame!"

There was a barely perceptible glint in Taicang's eyes, and he felt a little surprised.

He had intended to win over Bixi before. If the Bixi dragon son became a ghost clan, he could not only subdue some of the remaining forces of the dragon clan, but also add a top god to the Shinto underworld. More importantly, it would balance the forces within Shinto and prevent the Phoenix clan from dominating.

"You've just woken up, so it's understandable that you still have doubts in your heart." Taicang said calmly, "Besides, the Longhan catastrophe is a cycle of cause and effect, and it wasn't caused by the dragon clan alone."

Bixi still kept his head down, not making any comment.

He bowed deeply, "Your Majesty, be merciful! Bixi was ignorant and nearly made a terrible mistake. His crime is truly unforgivable! If Your Majesty will not forsake me, Bixi is willing to merge my remaining body into the Emperor's divine path and atone for the sins of all living things in the prehistoric world and for the dragon race!"

Eighty-one years of burning fire made him realize the reality: the dragon clan's fortune was declining, and its former glory was no longer there.

Confessing guilt frankly is more for the sake of one's own survival and the future of the remaining dragon clan.

Now he is just a lonely soul struggling to survive. Although he is at the peak of the God King and seems powerful, he is like a rootless duckweed in the new prehistoric order of the future. If he wants to gain a foothold in the new prehistoric order, or even preserve the survival of the remaining dragon clan, he must seek new shelter and rely on new forces.

Taicang smiled and asked, "How much do you know about Shinto?"
