Fellow Taoists, please respect yourself.

Chapter 441 Final Chapter
Hearing Ziyi's words, Jiang Lin nodded slightly.

He stared blankly at the fire before him. The orange-red flames, which came from his own hands, were humanity's first weapon and their first reliance.

The flames burned away humanity's ignorance and laid the foundation for its rise.

Jiang Lin stood up and nodded to Ziyi and Youchao.

For his position as the Emperor of Humanity, the human race has sacrificed far too much.

The Youchao and Ziyi clans could only be trapped in the deepest subconscious sea of ​​humanity, becoming two nameless, lonely ghosts.

Even their descendants sacrificed their freedom for this.

The seemingly lofty divine position and power are also a kind of confinement.
Whether it's Doumu Yuanjun or Houtu Huangdiqi, they were both willing to be part of the scheme, or even just puppets in it, completely unaware of the inside story.

But then again, without this arrangement, the daughters of Youchao and Ziyi might have shone with their own unique brilliance.

Freedom has always been the greatest desire of humankind and the deepest pursuit of the soul.

But there are always some things that come above others.

Jiang Lin bowed silently, which earned him smiles from the Youchao and Ziyi clans.

"Why must you act like a little girl, elder brother?"

"Don't overthink it. We are all fighting for humanity, just on different battlefields."

"Brother."

Ziyi and Youchao stood up at the same time and spoke to Jiang Lin.

"Please, elder brother, slay Yin Tianzun and bring glory to our human race."

The two ancient human saint emperors spoke at the same time, and then each of them raised a hand and pushed Jiang Lin's shoulder hard.

Everything around us began to regress.

The figures of Ziyi and Youchao became blurred, and the forest disappeared.

Only that tiny orange flame continued to flicker.

By the time Jiang Lin recovered from his fall, the Ziyi and Youchao clans were no longer around.

But even in the far, far distance, Jiang Lin could still see the blurry, flickering orange flame.

He once again sank into the vast ocean of human subconsciousness.

However, the pressure and repulsion that felt like diving into a real ocean when I first entered have disappeared.

Instead, there is boundless tolerance and joy.

Jiang Lin slowly raised his hand, silently sensing the sensation.

It was a feeling that was hard to describe, like a fetus in the amniotic fluid of the mother's womb.

Jiang Lin was surrounded by an endless sense of security.

He knew this was not an illusion, but rather that the entire human race was standing behind him.

As Ziyi Shi said.

Humans may resist the Heavenly Emperor's orders, even if it is a human Heavenly Emperor.

However, the human race will never forget the glory brought by their ancestor, and is willing to humbly follow in his footsteps.

"I need you."

Jiang Lin spoke softly, opening his arms as if to embrace him.

"Everyone."

'boom! ! ! ’

The light, airy voice triggered a major upheaval in the subconscious sea of ​​the entire human race.

The entire ocean of the subconscious mind began to riot.

Countless thoughts, countless subconscious minds, countless humans, subconsciously echoed the prayers of the progenitor of humanity.

Yes, pray.

Who says only descendants of humans can pray to their ancestors?
When the ancestors of humanity are in dire straits, their descendants will never hesitate to use their strength.

Even if one person's strength is insignificant, if one person can't do it, then ten, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, or even hundreds of millions of people can!

At this moment, Jiang Lin was elevated once again.

It was not from the Heavenly Dao, nor was it because Jiang Lin himself had once again forged a new path.

As heaven and earth naturally evolve, within the chaotic Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Emperor is undoubtedly the ultimate goal for cultivators. The path beyond that is no longer the realm of cultivators, but the realm of "Dao".

If one takes that step, the cultivator will no longer be a cultivator, but a conceptual being similar to the Three Pure Ones.

Even the Heavenly Emperor is not qualified to reach that level.

Because the Heavenly Emperor is also a sentient being, with his own ties, his own responsibilities, and his own thoughts.

The Heavenly Emperor Realm represents the most harmonious state between a cultivator and the Heavenly Dao. If quantified, it would be fifty percent each for humans and the Heavenly Dao.

If you have too little Heavenly Dao element, you cannot enter the Heavenly Emperor realm; if you have too much, you will be transformed into the Dao.

But whether it's going from 49% to 50%, or from 50% to 51%, it's almost impossible.

But Jiang Lin still transcended.

It is not an elevation from the Way of Heaven, but an elevation bestowed by the Way of Humanity.

The boundless aspiration for humanity has almost completely replaced the Heavenly Dao, which originally occupied fifty percent of the realm. Now, Jiang Lin is the true embodiment of the human way.

Only the progenitor of the human race could have accomplished this.

"The way of man does not require seeking from outside."

Jiang Lin muttered to himself, looked up, and took a step.

'tread……'

With one step, one arrives above the chaos and within the Heavenly Dao.

"Nine Breaths!"

The Great Celestial Venerable's mouth was already dripping with strange crimson-gold blood, and his entire aura was already weakening.

But hidden within that despondency lies a terrifying horror.

The Great Celestial Venerable said he could hold out for ten breaths, and that was ten breaths. But after ten breaths, it was not defeat, but rather the inability to hold onto that bit of extreme yang within himself.

If Jiang Lin does not appear at that time, then the two Heavenly Emperors facing off in this Heavenly Battlefield will be those who have broken free of all restrictions and are fighting with their most fundamental instincts.

That would be a catastrophe for the entire Chaos.

"Thank goodness, it didn't disappoint me after all!"

The Great Celestial Venerable grinned and withdrew without hesitation.

But Yin Tianzun did not want to let him go so easily, because he had already sensed Jiang Lin's aura, a unique aura that was not of the innate type, but seemed to be even more powerful than the innate type!

Within that immense power, Yin Tianzun sensed absolute restraint, as if facing a mortal enemy.

In an instant, Yin Tianzun made a decision.

The surging, turbid desires transformed into a substantial force, about to engulf the Great Celestial Venerable.

Rather than being eradicated by that nemesis, it's better to force Yang Tiandi to reveal his true nature.

Turn the table!

This will plunge both the Yin and Yang worlds into absolute calamity!
Even after flipping the table, no matter what, I still exist, and as long as I exist, there is still a chance!

The Great Celestial Venerable made no move.

Firstly, because he had truly reached his limit.

Secondly, the Great Celestial Venerable had confidence in Jiang Lin, or rather, in the grand scheme of the three ancient human emperors that spanned countless ages.

The three ancient sage emperors of the human race deceived all the heavens and myriad realms, silently accumulating and laying their groundwork throughout the cycle of reincarnation, until now, when Jiang Lin has risen to prominence.

With such a grand plan and great vision, the Great Celestial Venerable did not believe that there was no foolproof solution.

Jiang Lin did not betray the Great Celestial Venerable's trust.

He stood before the Great Celestial Venerable, making no move, simply standing there.

Thus, the immense power of desire, representing extreme yin, wielded by Yin Tianzun melted away like thin snow under the sun.

"Knew it."

The Great Celestial Venerable stood calmly behind Jiang Lin, and upon seeing this, his body completely relaxed.

Then, the figure slowly disappeared.

"The rest is up to you."

The Great Celestial Venerable actually slipped away.

Because he understood it very well.

Whether it's Jiang Lin, who unified the great vow of humanity and sublimated once again with the help of the power of humanity, or Yin Tianzun, who completely broke the seal on his own origin, neither of them are at the conventional Heavenly Emperor realm.

It sounds a bit abstract, but there are only three Heavenly Emperors in all the heavens and myriad realms, and I am the most ordinary one.

The other two are somewhat different.

At the same time, the Great Celestial Venerable also knew that if he continued to stay here, at best he would only be a war correspondent.

Moreover, she is a war correspondent who could very well be implicated in trouble by the aftermath.

Since that's the case, it's better to return to our own Three Realms and wait for Jiang Lin's good news.

As for victory or defeat?

Need I say more?

With the departure of the Great Celestial Venerable, only Jiang Lin and Yin Celestial Venerable remained on the battlefield within the Heavenly Dao.

Yin Tianzun and Jiang Lin stared at each other, neither of them speaking, only invisible forces colliding between them.

No, to be precise, it was Jiang Lin who was brazenly encroaching on Yin Tianzun's energy.

The near-absolute restraint left Yin Tianzun with no chance to retaliate.

"The three realms of Yin and Yang belong to you."

After a long silence, Yin Tianzun spoke.

Jiang Lin looked at him silently.

After a long silence, Yin Tianzun almost gritted his teeth and said, "All the heavens and myriad realms belong to you; I only want chaos."

Jiang Lin looked at him calmly, as if he hadn't heard Yin Tianzun speak at all.

Leave me a sliver of consciousness, just a sliver!

Yin Tianzun spoke for the third time.

This time, Jiang Lin reacted. He raised his hand, and in it burned a plain, orange-yellow flame, no bigger than a baby's fist, quietly.

But the moment he saw the flame, Yin Tianzun's body began to melt away.

Just like a melting candle, its entire existence is slowly melting into nothingness.

Jiang Lin raised an eyebrow and moved his finger slightly.

'Tap!'

The flame flickered.

Then the Yin Tianzun's previously dissolved figure slowly returned to normal.

Jiang Lin saw Yin Tianzun's increasingly sinister expression.

Just now, it wasn't Jiang Lin who was melting Yin Tianzun, but Yin Tianzun himself who wanted to escape.

However, under the torch of humanity, Yin Tianzun's actions are meaningless.

Yin Tianzun's fundamental desires require the desires of intelligent beings to fill them. However, the human race, the largest intelligent race in all the heavens and myriad realms, stands unconditionally on Jiang Lin's side.

Thus, the source of power that was originally all-encompassing became a death warrant hovering above the head of the Yin Heavenly Venerable.

Without any hesitation, Jiang Lin activated the Humanity Flame in his hand the moment the entire Yin Tianzun appeared.

'Tap!!'

The flames landed on Yin Tianzun's body.

This moment, or perhaps much, much shorter than a moment.

In short, Yin Tianzun used every means and power he could think of and employ.

However, nothing could stop the flames from burning his body.

The roles of humanity and desire have been reversed; now, desire has become the fuel for humanity to burn.

"Roar!!!"

Yin Tianzun let out an inhuman roar, but no matter what he did, he could not stop the humane flame from burning him.

He was melted like a candle once again, but this time, it was not his own doing; rather, everything was truly burned away.

Jiang Lin simply watched the flames burn quietly.

a long time.

The figure of Yin Tianzun disappeared, and the pitch-black matter that was originally filled with chaos was completely annihilated by the burning of the flame of humanity.

Jiang Lin withdrew the flame of humanity and quietly looked at the place where Yin Tianzun had originally been.

Yin Tianzun has completely perished, but Yang Tiandi still exists.

What Jiang Lin burned was only Yin Tianzun, not the original Yang Tiandi.

In other words, Jiang Lin burned away the desire that had sprouted from the origin of Yang Tianzun, representing the origin of Yin.

A mischievous kid that Jiang Lin recognized very well suddenly appeared.

It appeared quite naturally, and then, under Jiang Lin's gaze, timidly gathered the great power belonging to the Yangtian Emperor.

Thus, the originally incomplete and weak embodiment of will became whole again, transforming into the original Yang Tian Emperor.

The perfect Yang Emperor, still limiting his own Yin origin.

"Thank you."

Still looking like a mischievous child, he sniffed and sincerely thanked Jiang Lin.

From this moment on, Yin Tianzun is annihilated, and Yang Tiandi returns.

Yin and Yang never disappear; they only cycle, reincarnate, and change, and are everywhere.

Jiang Lin nodded slightly without saying anything.

The Yin essence of the Yang Heavenly Emperor has been burned down to its most fundamental point.

It would take a very, very long time for it to overflow to a level that even a Heavenly Emperor could not control.

Even so, it seems that the birth of the next Yin Tianzun is already predetermined, the only difference being the time it will take. After all, the Heavenly Emperor has already lost his throne once, so it's hard to say that there won't be a second time.

However, what if the next "Yin Tianzun" is the current Great Tianzun?

No one can tell.

The cycle of Yin and Yang is the greatest constant within the chaos and the Way of Heaven.

However, all constants have variables.

Now, in addition to the original Yin and Yang, there is an equal variable.

It is called the variable of the Human Emperor.

Whether it's yin or yang, there will always be a day when it overflows, and there will always be a time when the dam breaks.

However, humanity will always manifest itself, extinguishing the overflowing yin and reinforcing the breached yang.

With these thoughts in mind, Jiang Lin turned to leave.

"Wait a moment."

The mischievous child behind him was called out by the new Yang Tianzun.

Jiang Lin turned his head, his eyes questioning.

Yang Tianzun sniffed, and asked hesitantly, "The Human Emperor's throne, blessed by the Great Vow of Humanity, belongs to you, but it also belongs to this human race..."

Will you hold onto it for the long term?

Very interesting question.

Jiang Lin was able to temporarily suppress the influence of countless great human vows from the subconscious sea of ​​humanity by relying on the Seven Souls Divine Object and his identity as the reincarnation of the Ancestor of Humanity.

But this didn't last long.

If this continues, will Jiang Lin truly be Jiang Lin, or will he be the spokesperson for humanity itself?
This is also what Yang Tianzun is worried about: a pure being that represents humanity itself is even more terrifying than Yin Tianzun, who was just annihilated.

But would anyone really be willing to take such a great power, such a unique power that transcends chaos, from themselves?
Jiang Lin answered without hesitation.

“There are people who need this power more than I do.”

Yes, he has reincarnated countless times, each time walking alone, but each time, there is someone behind him giving him endless support.

Those were people who suffered even more and bore a heavier burden than him.

The black-robed man has a nest.

The images of the two flashed through Jiang Lin's mind.

Perhaps, there can be three Emperors of Humanity?

With these thoughts in mind, Jiang Lin stepped outwards towards the outside of the Heavenly Dao.

Yang Tianzun shouted and pressed for answers from behind.

"You will not possess this power alone, but only you can designate its owner!"

"I think that's how I should understand it!"

Jiang Lin nodded slightly, and without stopping, walked out of the space within the Heavenly Dao.

One step is taken, but it is neither heading to the Pure Yang Realm nor the Extreme Yin Realm.

Rather, it is the present world.

Only in this world.

………………

'Crash...'

The familiar sound of the ocean waves rang in Jiang Lin's ears. He looked up and saw that the sun had already half-sunk below the coastline.

"Hey, you're here?"

The Great Celestial Venerable, dressed in beach shorts and a floral shirt, hooked his sunglasses with his index finger, grinned at Jiang Lin, and looked him up and down.

He clicked his tongue in amazement and said, "You actually gave up the power of the Human Emperor so readily? Who did you give it to?"

“Ziyi and Youchao fought, and Ziyi lost in the end, so he is now the Emperor of Humanity.”

Jiang Lin said with a smile.

"Tsk..."

The Great Celestial Venerable clicked his tongue in confusion. Why was the loser forced to temporarily assume the position of the Human Emperor?

"And it's not about giving up."

Jiang Lin suddenly said.

The great power of the Heavenly Emperor of Humanity, imbued with the blessing of the Great Vow of Humanity, destined that this great power could not be held by one person for long.

But the foundation of humanity and the way of heaven ultimately comes from what Jiang Lin built.

Therefore, who receives this power, how it is given, and when it is taken back are all up to Jiang Lin.

The Great Celestial Venerable didn't press further, but simply put his arm around Jiang Lin's shoulder and said jokingly, "Let's go, someone's waiting for you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lin couldn't help but look towards the beach.

"Brother Jiang!!"

Miao Qing was wearing a one-piece swimsuit and a large sun hat. She had one hand to her mouth and the other hand raised and waved to attract Jiang Lin's attention.

She jumped around and laughed carefree. When she saw Jiang Lin looking over, she jumped even more energetically.

"Everyone is waiting for you!"

Looking in the direction Miaoqing pointed to.

Bai Suzhen, Tu Shanyu, Qingyun, Tanruo, Liu Yunxiu.

The five of them looked at Jiang Lin with smiles on their faces.

Behind them were the old man, Doumu Yuanjun, Ziwei Dijun, Weiyuan Daoye, Laozi, Wei Fazhu, Wang Lingguan, Nezha, Yang Jian, Feng Luo, Ao Run...

Jiang Lin stepped forward and glanced around; all the people he knew and was familiar with were there.

"Everyone is there."

He walked over, and as dusk fell, a bonfire was lit on the beach.

The orange flames are burning.

For a very, very long time...
