Honghuang: I am Kuiniu, and I instructed Nuwa to create humans at the beginning.

Although Master Xuandu had known that this day would come, now that it had finally arrived, he couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.

After all, this was tantamount to betraying Laozi, the master whom he had followed for countless tens of thousands of years.

Even if Niu Kui had not made some instructions before he joined the Human Religion, the Xuandu Grand Master would definitely not agree to Niu Kui's suggestion at this time.

Even so, Master Xuandu still said to Niu Kui: "Saint Master, I know that this matter is for the development of our human race."

"But I still hope that before I take over as the leader of the Human Sect, I can go and see Master. I wonder if Saint Master agrees?"

Master Xuandu could only ask Niu Kui tentatively. After all, he didn't dare to delay Niu Kui's plan of making the human race rise because of his personal reasons.

Therefore, if Niu Kui refused, even if Master Xuandu was disappointed, he would never insist on seeing Laozi.

But what Master Xuandu did not expect was that Niu Kui actually nodded directly at him and spoke.

"Go ahead. It's time for you two to meet as master and disciple. Remember, there is no need to hide anything after you meet. Tell him directly that you will be replacing him."

"At the same time, you can suggest that he give up his position as the leader of the Human Religion and let you take over. After all, this is the best way to save his face."

After hearing this, Master Xuandu showed a look of gratitude on his face. He immediately bowed to Niu Kui and prepared to go to Xiqi to meet Laozi.

However, before Master Xuandu left, Niu Kui did not forget to tap on Master Xuandu's forehead and injected the power of the Great Dao Space into his body.

With the power of this great space, Niu Kui can bring back Master Xuandu at any time to prevent Laozi from being desperate and killing Master Xuandu regardless of the relationship between master and disciple.

The great master Xuandu did not care about this, and immediately said goodbye to Niu Kui and left the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation. Not long after, he arrived above Xiqi City.

Upon learning that Master Xuandu had arrived, Huanglong Zhenren, who was responsible for delivering messages on the periphery, immediately went to meet Laozi and other saints.

"Master, fellow saints, Senior Brother Xuandu is here and said he wants to see Senior Uncle for something."

I couldn't help but feel a little surprised when I heard that Master Xuandu came to see me at this moment.

After a little thought, he said, "My disciple Xuandu is now the Grand Master of the Shang Dynasty. Just based on this status, he cannot be allowed to come here to see me."

"So please wait for a moment, fellow Taoists. I will go to see him in person. Let me know why he came to see me at this time."

After saying this, Laozi disappeared directly into the reed tent.

Yuanshi Tianzun did not show any special expression in response to this. Even the two saints from the West just smiled and nodded.

Little did they know that both Yuanshi Tianzun and the Two Saints of the West knew that Laozi was going to see Master Xuandu at this time, and there must be something he didn't want them to know.

But everyone could only choose to ignore it. After all, Laozi's excuses were sufficient. He didn't allow them to express different opinions at all.

At this time, Laozi had already seen the Xuandu Master. He directly took action to conceal the secrets of heaven, and then he asked the Xuandu Master.

"Shouldn't you be in Chaoge City? Why are you here in front of the two armies? Are you also going to personally participate in the Conferred God Battle?"

The great master Xuandu did not beat around the bush and first knelt down and bowed to Laozi. Then he told Laozi what had happened. Laozi heard that Niu Kui was going to let the goddess Nuwa and the three emperors abolish the position of the leader of the other religion, and then let the great master Xuandu take over.

The expression on his face froze, and at the same time, his heart was filled with turmoil. He even said to himself in his heart:

"Fortunately, I made a wise choice in the end, otherwise I would have become a laughing stock."

Seeing the expression on Laozi's face, Master Xuandu knelt on the ground again and said, "Master, before I became your disciple, I was taken into the long river of fate by the Saint Master and saw many things."

"This included Master and Second Uncle joining forces to plot against Third Uncle and the human race. So at that time, I resisted becoming Master's disciple."

"But the Saint Master said that only by knowing both ourselves and the enemy can we win every battle. Only when the Human Religion is in the hands of the human race can the human race be truly assured."

"So, under the arrangement of the Saint Master, I followed my original destiny and became the Master's disciple."

"Originally, what I wanted in my mind was to replace my master at a critical moment. I wanted to become the leader of the human race and benefit the human race."

"But as I spend more and more time with Master, my thoughts have changed."

"I originally only wanted to replace Master, but now I hope Master can be a good leader of the Human Sect. Then I will always be Master's disciple and will not do anything that harms Master's interests."

"Unfortunately, no matter how hard I tried, what was supposed to happen still happened. This is the scene I least wanted to see."

"Disciple knows that if I do this, I will be unworthy of Master's teaching. I am not even worthy of living in this world."

"But for the sake of the human race, I have no choice but to do this. However, I promise Master that after I hand over the Human Religion to the right human race, I will die to apologize to Master."

I know what Master Xuandu meant by death. It is not reincarnation, but the real death of the soul.

He then spoke earnestly, "It turns out that Niu Kui had already planned everything. It's a pity that we are still self-righteous and think we have everything under control."

"Little did we know that they had already set a trap, waiting for us to fall into it. The funny thing is that we didn't realize it."

"Compared to Tongtian, I and Yuanshi are so ridiculous. If we could believe Tongtian, why would we have to go to this point?"

At this time, Laozi knew that it was almost impossible for him to keep his position as the leader of the Human Religion.

Even if he tore up the agreement with Tongtian now, he didn't think that under Niu Kui's arrangement, the Sage of Heaven would be able to win the decisive battle of Conferred Gods.

After all, Niu Kui knew exactly what they were going to do. On the contrary, they were not able to know what Niu Kui had in mind.

So after sighing, Laozi chose the step that Niu Kui had left for him. He immediately reached out to help Master Xuandu up and spoke.

"If you hadn't told me the truth today, I would have become a laughing stock in this world. Now I know what to do."

"Go back and tell Brother Niu Kui that after the Conferred God Battle, I will pass the position of the leader of the Human Religion to you."

"At the same time, Xuandu, you must remember that you will always be my disciple, Taiqing Laozi. Because the relationship between you and me is no longer that of a master and a disciple, but has long been that of a father and son." (End of this chapter)
