Journey to the West: The Eighty-One Tribulations of Being Hairless

Human Emperor!

Who wouldn't want to be the human emperor? Every monarch dreams of being the human emperor!

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors!

There were eight human emperors. However, among the three emperors, Fuxi, the Heavenly Emperor, was directly promoted to the Holy Emperor due to the advancement of the world, and he held half of the power of humanity!

Although he only has the cultivation level of a Primordial Saint, he can unleash the combat power of a Dao Lord because he holds the power of humanity!

Although the Earthly Emperor Shennong and the Human Emperor Xuanyuan did not advance in rank, they were still Human Emperors, true Primordial Saints, and even among the Five Emperors, they possessed the cultivation of a Supreme Being.

It can be said that these eight emperors were truly immortal.

Becoming the Human Emperor is a way to achieve immortality and eternal life, since becoming a Heavenly Saint is extremely difficult!

However, becoming the Human Emperor is not easy!

It requires doing something that greatly contributes to the development of humane civilization, and it must be done by a humane monarch.

King Zhou once had this idea, but unfortunately, he failed.

Even the Ancestral Dragon, who had achieved true spiritual integration with the Dao, could not resist the temptation and reincarnated as a human to pursue the Dao Fruit of the Human Emperor. This is not the fault of the Ancestral Dragon, because after achieving Dao integration, the Ancestral Dragon truly had no freedom!

You mustn't interfere in even the smallest matters of the world!

It is entirely a superfluous rule of heaven and earth, specifically designed to suppress the Abyss of the Far East.

It's not that those who don't conform to the Dao can't be suppressed, but the great calamity back then had already caused such a devastating battle. If they didn't conform to the Dao, they probably wouldn't have escaped death.

And as his physical body filled the deep abyss of the East China Sea!

Zulong also wanted freedom, but how could he obtain it? He merged with the Dao, which meant merging with the rules of the Heavenly Dao and becoming a part of it. To break free, he could only do so through the authority of the human world.

Therefore, he set his sights on the position of the Human Emperor!

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors readily agreed to this, as it was tantamount to bringing the authority of Heaven to the human realm.

Unfortunately, the Heavenly Saints, including Hongjun Daozu, would not allow it, much less allow the birth of a new Human Emperor. Therefore, they suppressed him!

The Qin Dynasty lasted only 30,000 years!

During this period, he invented the Chaos Warship and the Ancestral Witch Armor, which made the Qin Empire incredibly powerful. It almost unified the Southern Continent and the Eastern Continent and became the Emperor.

Unfortunately, the Qin Empire's high-end combat power was lacking!

Facing Gouchen Emperor, who held the Pangu Banner, had the Xuanhuang Pagoda above his head, and stood on the Taiji Diagram, Zulong was gloriously defeated. Even with the full support of the Wu Clan and the Dragon Clan, he still suffered a terrible defeat!

After that battle, the Wu tribe continued to cower in fear. With the Goddess Houtu standing behind them, no one dared to say anything!

But the dragons are in trouble!

From then on, dragons became a dish on the tables of immortals and gods. Dragon liver, dragon heart, dragon snake, dragon pill, and dragon tendon were all top-notch ingredients in the world!

Of course, it's not a real dragon!

Even the gods and immortals wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous towards a true dragon!

After all, although the Dragon Clan was defeated, they still had powerful figures such as Zhulong, Qinglong, and Yinglong. In addition, the Dragon Clan had formed an alliance with the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan back then, and although they had not been in contact for many years, the alliance still existed.

If the Dragon Clan were to truly seek justice from the Yellow Emperor, who in the Three Realms would dare to stop them?

However, even if it's not a four-clawed or five-clawed true dragon, it's still a three-clawed dragon, or some kind of dragon species.

It should be understood that even if a five-clawed true dragon gives birth to offspring, they may not necessarily be true dragons. More likely, they will be flood dragons, which need to cultivate for hundreds of years and undergo heavenly tribulations before they can be promoted to become true dragons!

This means that true dragons, such as the Dragon King of the East Sea, have to give their children to the immortals and gods of the Three Realms every year!

This is also a warning from the immortals and gods of the Three Realms to the dragon race: if they dare to continue to violate the heavenly rules, they will no longer eat dragons or dragon offspring, but the Dragon Lord of the East Sea himself.

Besides the Qin Empire, other empires such as the Han Dynasty also aspired to become the Human Emperor!

However, without exception, they all failed, and the punishment for failure was severe, even to the point of extermination of the entire clan and severing all bloodlines.

That is why the saying spread throughout the Three Realms that rulers are forbidden from cultivating immortality!

Dan Yuanzi was very clear about these things. That's why even the direct descendants of the Li family, with the title of holy lineage, dared not establish a dynasty and state!

After all, even without becoming emperors, they could still be people of high status, so who would want to take the risk!

Now, Dan Yuanzi was shocked to hear that his Holy Ancestor actually asked him to prepare to establish a dynasty and become emperor. For a moment, he was unable to react.

"Does this mean that a sage would allow an emperor to cultivate immortality?"

"Holy Ancestor, isn't it said that emperors cannot cultivate immortality? It might be inappropriate to let Li Yuan become emperor. Li Yuan has already attained the Immortal Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, and his lifespan is equal to that of the heavens..."

Dan Yuanzi looked at Laozi with a puzzled expression, while Laozi nodded slightly.

"It's not that monarchs can't cultivate immortality, but rather that after a monarch cultivates immortality, their wisdom and experience will greatly increase, and they will have a greater chance of achieving the Dao Fruit of the Human Emperor."

If the average mortal's mental processing power is only around one hundred...

Even the weakest of those immortals, the computational power of their primordial spirit was countless times, even hundreds of millions of times, greater than that of mortals.

They are not even in the same league.

Such a monarch, coupled with his destiny as a human emperor, is absolutely capable of doing things that contribute to the progress of humanity.

Don't think that the destiny of a human emperor is very rare!

In fact, among the countless human races, the destiny of a human emperor is not rare, and even the destiny of a heavenly emperor is not rare. Haotian has the destiny of a heavenly emperor, Donghua Dijun has the destiny of a heavenly emperor, Ziwei Dijun has the destiny of a heavenly emperor, and it is not surprising that even a mortal has the destiny of a heavenly emperor.

Destiny is one thing, but whether or not one can turn destiny into reality is another!

If you have a one in a hundred, one in ten thousand, or even one in a hundred million chance of becoming the Heavenly Emperor or the Human Emperor, then you are destined to be either the Heavenly Emperor or the Human Emperor.

Comparatively speaking, the position of the Heavenly Emperor is basically locked in.

Because of the existence of Houtu, as long as she does not give up the Six Imperial Positions she holds, no one can hope to become the Heavenly Emperor.

However, there is still hope for the human emperor position!

Most importantly, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were also very pleased with this outcome. If more human emperors could be born, it would mean that humanity was flourishing and the source of authority was constantly being elevated.

One day, we will surpass the Way of Heaven!

At that time, humanity will reign supreme, governing the three realms and ruling the primordial world!

Of course, the Heavenly Saints are conservative and don't want to see such a thing happen...

After so many years of enlightenment, the current Sage of Taiqing has finally understood!

The rise of humanity cannot be stopped.

There's no other reason than this!

Because the world needs to progress, needs to advance, needs to advance to a higher level of world, this is the world's great will and instinct, the ultimate command set by the Great God Pangu in the origin of the world.

Anyone who dares to obstruct us is an enemy of the world!

To advance the world's progress, one must navigate the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

The laws of Heaven are already difficult to increase, and the fundamental energy of Earth's matter cannot be achieved overnight, so only the human way remains!

Humanity is the way of all living beings. When all living beings are able to continuously strive and progress, the progress of humanity will also drive the progress of heaven and earth. Therefore, the great will of the world cherishes humanity.

The intervention of sages, though a calamity for humanity that could make humanity more vibrant, would also cause the sages of Heaven to be rejected by the great will of Heaven and Earth.
