Honghuang: It makes sense that there are four Sanqing, right?

Finally, the Youchao clan sent out their people to spread the word that strange phenomena appeared in the sky when Emperor Jun was born. Sometimes it was a unicorn descending to earth, sometimes purple clouds coming from the east, and sometimes golden lotuses emerging from the ground. In short, they made it as mysterious and as amazing as possible.

The primitive human race had never experienced such a scene before, and for a time, there was much discussion. The experience of twelve years of pregnancy that had once caused Di Jun great distress now became evidence that he was born extraordinary.

"Hehehe, brother, have you heard? I heard there's a tribe nearby, and the chief's name is... what was it again... right! Di Jun. This guy is extraordinary. They say he's a born sage, and auspicious omens appeared at his birth?"

"Di Jun? Never heard of him. What's an auspicious omen?"

"This...this...I don't know what auspicious omens are either. I heard it from the old man at the entrance of the tribe. It's something like, something really, really good. It's quite mysterious."

"Really? What about that Di Jun?"

"Hey! You've come to the right person!"

"How so? Do you know?"

"I know that perfectly!"

"Then stop being so mysterious and tell me!"

"Don't rush, don't rush, I'll tell you now."

"Alright, go ahead."

"It is said that this Di Jun is the reincarnation of the Ziwei Star Lord in heaven, possessing great benevolence, wisdom, and fortune. He was born with the ability to distinguish between good and evil, and at the age of three, he could fight tigers. Under his leadership, everyone in his tribe has meat to eat and wine to drink at every meal. They couldn't be happier!"

"If that's the case, then following Dijun would mean we could live a good life. Let's go to his tribe tomorrow and have a drink or something."

"That's right! How come I didn't think of that? I'll go talk to the chief about this right now. You'll come with me. If he disagrees, you and I will tie him up!"

"Okay, bro, wait for me!"

……

……

Such conversations continued to take place in various tribes of the Southern Continent. Di Jun's reputation soared overnight. Although the newly joined tribesmen did not enjoy the fine wine and meat as rumored, they found that their lives had indeed improved a lot after joining Di Jun's tribe. Coupled with Di Jun's personal charm, they quickly became genuinely loyal.

Although there were still some tribes deeply poisoned by the rumors about the monsters at the beginning, they were all no match for the greatly expanded Dijun tribe and the Youchao clan who were proficient in military strategy, and soon they also joined the Dijun tribe.

Thus, they fought in the south and north, and campaigned in the east and west.

Twenty years later...

At this time, Di Jun had successfully unified the human race in the southern Zhanzhou, completing the feat of re-integrating the human race.

After the classic three refusals, Emperor Jun reluctantly agreed to the requests of his people and accepted the title bestowed by the Emperor.

Di Jun stood on a majestic high platform. Even though he was over sixty years old, his posture was still upright. He was wearing armor presented by the dragon clan and carrying a precious sword bestowed by the immortals. He was dignified and showed no signs of old age.

Di Jun looked down at the sea of ​​his clansmen below the stage. His eyesight was still good, and he could still clearly see the deep and fervent respect they held for him in their eyes.

He drew his sword, raised it high towards the heavens, and spoke in a loud, authoritative voice.

"Since the uprising began after slaying the white serpent, my teacher, Youchao, has worked tirelessly day and night, assisting me in handling important military, political, and sacrificial affairs, all in the pursuit of continuously strengthening the tribe, enabling our people to live a good life, and enabling the entire human race to live a good life!"

"And I, too, have been fortunate enough to be favored by my people. After more than twenty years, I have finally unified the human race. I have lived up to the legacy of my three ancestors. Emperor Jun thanks you all!"

As soon as Di Jun finished speaking, cheers erupted from the audience, creating a very enthusiastic atmosphere.

"Di Jun!"

"Di Jun!"

"Di Jun!"

The cheers grew louder and louder until finally, when Youchao Shi went on stage and Dijun pressed his hand, the crowd stopped cheering and quieted down.

To avoid being discovered astonished, Youchao deliberately controlled his physical changes, allowing him to age automatically like an ordinary person, and he is now very old.

Leaning on his cane and supported by several servants, he shakily walked up the platform, his once upright back hunched over, truly resembling an eighty-year-old man.

"Cough cough cough..."

After stepping onto the stage, Youchao first coughed a few times to clear his throat, then took out a piece of parchment with writing on it and decorated with patterns, and spoke to the people below the stage.

"With Emperor Jun, whose merits are immeasurable, he is fit to be a ruler!"

"Firstly, unify the human race, rebuild the tribes, end the wars of ten thousand years, and stop the fighting of a hundred generations!"

"Secondly, revise the laws to bring about a new era for humanity, ensuring that the elderly are cared for and the young are supported!"

"Thirdly, he created the Heluo divination method and revised the celestial calendar to ensure that farming seasons were not missed and livestock were not burdened!"

"These three achievements represent the great deeds of Mount Tai and the merits of the Yellow River; Emperor Jun is worthy to be the ruler of the human race!"

"Now, I bestow upon the sovereign the title of Emperor!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the gods who had been prepared from all sides cast their spells. In an instant, auspicious signs appeared in the sky, purple clouds came from the east, golden lotuses sprang up from the earth, vegetation flourished everywhere, stars twinkled in the sky, and beams of golden light shone on Di Jun.

"Emperor! Emperor!"

"Emperor! Emperor!"

"Emperor! Emperor!"

Seeing the strange phenomenon, the tribespeople below the stage became even more excited, waving their arms and shouting wildly.

Youchao nodded in satisfaction, and then handed the imperial robes, which represented the emperor's status, to Dijun.

With the help of his attendants, Di Jun removed his armor and put on his ceremonial robes. His entire demeanor changed, transforming him from a brave warrior into a dignified and unapproachable figure.

A voice devoid of sorrow or joy resounded in the minds of all humankind: "Di Jun possesses virtue and is fit to be the Heavenly Emperor!"

The next moment, golden lotuses of merit suddenly fell from the sky. They all went in the same direction and entered Di Jun's body. Di Jun received the merit and immediately felt his cultivation level improve. His hair turned from black to white and he was rejuvenated!

The voice resounded once more in the minds of all humans, "The Emperor's merits are complete; return to the Fiery Cloud Cave!"

A golden dragon of merit suddenly appeared from the clouds and then lowered its huge head before Emperor Jun.

Having changed into his imperial robes, Di Jun stood majestically on the dragon's head. Then, the golden dragon soared into the sky once more, carrying Di Jun and flying towards the Fire Cloud Cave.

"Congratulations to the Emperor!"

Seeing that the time was right, Youchao immediately bowed in the direction the golden dragon had left.

"Congratulations to the Emperor!"

The humans below the stage followed suit, bowing in the direction the golden dragon had left and saying the same words.

……

……

When Di Jun arrived at Huoyun Cave, his cultivation had already reached the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Xu Qing had been waiting there for a long time.

"Greetings, Daoxian!"

"Greetings to the Ancestor of Fire and the Ancestor of Zi!"

Di Jun bowed to each of the three elders in turn, his attitude respectful and impeccable.

Okay, okay, you're so obedient. I'd like to see how you're going to face me later.

Xu Qing's smile was eerie, making Di Jun feel extremely uncomfortable. Then, Xu Qing pointed a finger, awakening Di Jun's past life wisdom, and looked at him mockingly.
