Honghuang: Eat a Hunyuan Daluo

Chapter 226 The Sixth Five Emperor?
It is definitely a good thing to enfeoff the land god and city god in the world of earthly immortals. However, this move involves the earthly realm and also requires competing for power with the heavenly court. It cannot be accomplished overnight.

Therefore, Zhen Yuanzi and Rushou agreed that they would go to the underworld in person to discuss the specific progress of the matter with Hou Tu.

While Zhen Yuanzi was discussing the matter with the city god and the land god, Donghuang Taiyi came to Nuwa. He cupped his hands and said, "Daoyou Nuwa, my nephew is still in your palace. Now that I have achieved the status of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, I can protect my nephew. Please return my nephew to me."

When Nuwa heard this, her mind moved, and a middle-aged Taoist appeared in front of everyone.

This Taoist wore a fishtail crown, a bright red robe, and a long beard. He had a fiery aura all over his body. He had the same origin as Donghuang Taiyi, and there was no doubt that he was the True Fire of the Sun.

After many years, Donghuang Taiyi was very excited to see his nephew again. He thanked Nuwa and took his nephew back to the demon world.

As Donghuang Taiyi left, the other powerful men also bid farewell.

Nuwa did not try to persuade them to stay. After watching them leave, she turned to Bai Jing and said, "Daoist Bai Jing, do you think the Heavenly Dao has any hidden cards that we don't know about?"

"Fellow Daoist, are you afraid that Tiandao will take out a treasure similar to the Chaos Pearl like he did this time?"

Nuwa nodded.

Bai Jing smiled and said, "I think you are worrying too much. This Chaos Pearl is the only hope for Tian Dao to break through the Dao Realm. As long as Tian Dao can completely refine the Chaos Pearl and transform the chaotic world in the Chaos Pearl into a complete world that is no less than the prehistoric world with the will of Tian Dao, Tian Dao will be able to advance to the Dao Realm.

Even though it was such an important treasure, after we opened up the human world, he still chose to smash the Chaos Pearl in exchange for the favor of the ancient world. This shows that the Way of Heaven has reached a dead end.

If He does not smash the Chaos Pearl, the outcome will be that Hongjun will break free from His control and completely suppress His will, and from then on, the Heavenly Dao will no longer have any chance. "

Nuwa breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. Bai Jing's words made her feel much more at ease.

The fact is just as Bai Jing said, Tiandao has already made a last-ditch effort by sacrificing the Chaos Pearl to the ancient world. If He didn't do this, and when Hongjun suppressed His consciousness, He would have no way out.

When confronting Nuwa and Bai Jing before, Tiandao only looked tough, but he was actually heartbroken. His biggest and last trump card was gone. Now Tiandao is truly at the end of his rope and has no way out.

Afterwards, Bai Jing and Nuwa said goodbye. Before leaving, Bai Jing had a conversation with Shennong, asking him to focus on the human race and not to worry about the Yingzhou Fairy Island.

After saying that, Bai Jing took Youqin Yueyue away from the ancestral land of the human race and took a step back to the Yingzhou Fairy Island.

Nuwa decided to go to the human world to retreat for some time. Humanity is now in the human world, so it is the best choice for Nuwa to go to the human world to retreat.

The winner was decided among the saints, and Zhuanxu, the current leader of the human race, naturally knew about it.

Zhuanxu breathed a sigh of relief. From then on, the future of mankind was bright!

"During the time when you were the leader of the human race, Zhuanxu, you helped Nuwa accomplish such a feat. Your name will surely be remembered forever among the human race." Yunxiao said with a smile.

"Thank you Master for the compliment."

Yunxiao really cared about his disciple Zhuanxu and always took good care of him.

Logically speaking, after the creation of the human world, Yunxiao no longer needed to keep an eye on Zhuanxu, but Yunxiao still decided to stay until Zhuanxu completed his merits.

As humanity revived, the saints could previously deduce which tribe the throne of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors would fall into, but now everything is in chaos.

The Western Church was a little anxious at this time, because they were responsible for teaching the next two teachers of the Five Emperors. Now they were not even sure who the Five Emperors were. What should they do?
In desperation, Western religions could only adopt the strategy of casting a wide net and searching among the human race for people of insight or those who were born extraordinary.

It’s no secret that this trick taught by the West is quite effective. They really caught me in the act.

A thousand years later, Zhuanxu's mission was completed and he began to select his successor.

Zhuanxu worked diligently throughout his life and sought the welfare of the people of the world. He and his wife had a son named Qiongchan.

It took more than three hundred years for Zhuanxu to finally determine his successor. Gao Xin, the grandson of Xuanxiao, followed the will of heaven, ascended the throne and became Emperor Ku.

After Zhuanxu and Gao Xin took over the position of common leader of the human race, Zhuanxu's merits were fulfilled, and the merits of heaven and humanity were bestowed upon him together.

Zhuanxu not only fulfilled his mission as the common leader of the human race, but also helped the recovery of humanity. The merits he gained directly pushed his cultivation to the late stage of quasi-saint.

Yunxiao also gained a lot of benefits from this. She got two of Zhuanxu's merits and used them to break through to the level of Hunyuan Jinxian.

And Yunxiao actually took the path of her own avenue of creation. Her avenue had traces of the avenue of purification and the avenue of devouring, as well as traces of Yunxiao's own avenue of water, and even Hongjun's immortal path.

The path to create one's own avenue is extremely difficult. If Yunxiaohua reaches the ninth level and practices step by step, there is a high probability that she can achieve the Dao of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, but she chose the most difficult path, which made Bai Jing helpless and relieved.

"Forget it, I'll just protect Yunxiao more in the future!" Bai Jing thought to himself.

Their sights turned to the Western Religion. After Emperor Ku Gao Xin took over the position of the common leader of the human race, the two Western saints felt relieved.

Before, they saw that Emperor Ku was the great-grandson of Emperor Huang and had an extraordinary background. His father was Jiao Ji and his grandfather was Xuan Xiao.

Although Xuanxiao and Jiaoji have never ruled the world, they are still quite famous among the human race.

In addition, Gao Xin has shown extraordinary spirituality since his birth, and can even say his own name, as if it was a special mission given to him by God.

Therefore, the two saints from the West chose to place their hopes on Gao Xin and sent Maitreya down the mountain to assist Gao Xin.

Gao Xin became the imperial teacher of Maitreya, learned skills from him, and was eventually recognized by Zhuanxu and became the new leader of the human race.

Gao Xin was broad-minded and showed kindness to all things. He never cared about personal gains and losses. He was well aware of the urgent needs of the people, established his prestige with benevolence, gained trust with kindness and love, cultivated himself and exercised self-discipline, making all the people in the world sincerely convinced.

Gao Xin was good at using the wealth of the earth, but he also knew how to be frugal and moderate; he comforted and taught the people, guiding them with benefits and educating them.

He observed the movement of the sun and the moon, welcomed and saw off guests, and worshipped ghosts and gods, without daring to slack off in the slightest.

Emperor Ku adhered to the doctrine of moderation and benefited the world. No matter where the sun and moon shone, or where the wind and rain blew, everyone obeyed and submitted to him. However, Emperor Ku was not perfect. Compared with the previous human leaders, Emperor Ku attached more importance to women and his emotional world was rich and colorful.

He had two wives. He first married the daughter of Chen Feng and gave birth to Fangxun.

Later he married the daughter of Zhuozi and had a son, Zhi.

Apart from these two, Emperor Ku had countless female confidantes, which made Maitreya wonder if he had taught something wrong?
Fortunately, apart from this, Emperor Ku did not do anything else that was detrimental to the people of the world. Emperor Ku reigned for a total of 4500 years, and later passed the throne of the common leader of the human race to his son Zhi.

Zhi’s succession to the throne was inseparable from Maitreya’s encouragement, because another direct disciple of the Western religion, Yao Shi, was already Zhi’s teacher.

However, during Emperor Zhi's reign, his performance was poor and he eventually abdicated in disgrace.

Emperor Ku's other son Fangxun took over the responsibility of the human race under the recommendation of everyone and became Emperor Yao.

After Zhi abdicated, Yao Shi was naturally no longer considered the teacher of the Five Emperors, which made the Western Saints very angry. Seeing that Emperor Yao had no teacher, the Two Western Saints wanted to let Yao Shi go and accept Emperor Yao as his disciple, but was rejected by Emperor Yao.

The Two Saints of the West felt ashamed after being humiliated by the leader of the human race. However, due to the revival of humanity, the Two Saints of the West did not dare to take action against the human race.

After Emperor Yao took over as the common leader of the human race, he worked hard to govern the country. Under his rule, the human race became more prosperous.

However, when Emperor Yao was about to step down after more than 4200 years on the throne, a sudden flood hit the human race. The flood was boundless and the raging water was like a ferocious beast, running wildly and leaving a vast ocean wherever it went.

The fertile crops were ruthlessly swallowed up, the towering mountains were instantly submerged in water, and the people's houses collapsed in the surging waves.

Countless people were displaced and the land was in mourning. Many people had to leave their homes and struggle to survive in misery.

The flood brought endless disasters to the human race. Yao was extremely worried and often couldn't sleep at night. As the leader of the human race, facing such a tragic situation, Yao naturally could not sit idly by. He summoned many sages of the human race, determined to eliminate the flood and bring peace to the world.

“Everyone present here is a wise man of our race. Now we are hit by a flood, and the people are suffering. If this kind of disaster is not curbed, there will be no peace in the world.

This raging flood must be controlled in order to save the people from the water and fire. Who do you think can take on this great task?"

After hearing Yao's question, all the ministers and tribal leaders gave their opinions one after another. Finally, after much debate, they unanimously nominated Gun to take the responsibility of flood control.

Yao always felt that Gun was a peculiar person and could not be trusted, but there was no more suitable candidate at the moment. After weighing the pros and cons, he temporarily entrusted the arduous task of flood control to Gun.

Gun did a good job at first. He built river embankments on the shore to block the water and alleviate the floods in the Central Plains.

Yao temporarily put his mind at ease and began to look for someone who could succeed him.

One day, Emperor Yao summoned the leaders of the tribes from all directions to discuss the matter. When everyone gathered together, they all strongly recommended Shun.

A person who could be elected by everyone must have something extraordinary. Emperor Yao became curious and asked everyone to describe Shun's deeds in detail.

After everyone described in detail what Yao and Shun had done, Emperor Yao was delighted and decided to conduct a further investigation.

After investigation, Emperor Yao found that Shun was a man of great virtue and ability, but was still young, so he decided to let Shun temporarily take over the position of the common leader of the human race, and Emperor Yao helped Shun behind the scenes.

After Shun took over the position of leader, he was frugal and hardworking, shared the joys and sorrows with the people, and everyone had complete trust in him.

A few years later, Emperor Yao was satisfied to resign from the position of leader of the human race and went to the ancestral land of the human race. Shun, remembering the old friendship, wanted to give the position of leader to Yao's son Zhu Dan, but everyone strongly opposed it. Shun had no choice but to officially become the head of the tribal alliance and the leader of the world, and was known as Emperor Shun.

It is worth mentioning that Shun also had no one to teach him. Tongtian sent the Holy Mother Wudang to find the last of the Five Emperors. Somehow, the Holy Mother Wudang had been rescuing the human race that was plagued by floods, and did not focus on the common leader of the human race.

Although Tongtian was helpless, he did not force his disciples.

The first thing Shun did when he ascended the throne was to make laws. He was well aware of the importance of laws to state governance. After he ascended the throne, he ordered Gao Yao to make unified laws and promulgate unified regulations to the whole country.

Commonly used punishments were carefully engraved on various objects to promote them. Exile was used to treat criminals who should be punished with the five punishments leniently, flogging was used as an official punishment, and beating with a board was used as a teaching punishment. It was even stipulated that crimes could be redeemed, and this practice was followed by the legal system of later generations.

From then on, there was a unified law throughout the world, and the people acted in accordance with the law, wholeheartedly convinced, and praised his way of governing the world.

Shun was considerate of the people and ruled for the people. After ascending the throne, he was self-disciplined, respectful to the wise and humble, and open to public opinion and open political discussions. He governed the country carefully, implemented policies with kindness, and set a precedent for wise rulers and good plans, which made the princes of all directions sincerely convinced and the world unprecedentedly united.

It is recorded in "Shun Dian" that Shun ordered the chieftains in charge of government affairs to increase the transparency of government affairs to the people so that the people can clearly understand the government affairs in all directions and listen to their opinions.

Shun's virtue conquered the world and was friendly to all tribes. His virtue was as high as the sky, as universal as the earth, as bright as the sun, and as bright as the moon. It existed with the heaven and the earth. Shun's virtue made the world enlightened and kind.

However, when Shun's policies were being implemented steadily, bad news came: the flood-proof dam built by Gun was finally collapsed by the flood due to the increasing water level, causing the people to be disturbed by floods again.

Shun was furious, so he sent people to behead Gun at Yu Mountain, and ordered his son Yu to continue to manage the water tank.

Holy Mother Wu Dang has been helping the human race that has been plagued by floods over the years. After learning that the last of the Five Emperors, Shun, had succeeded to the throne, she did not feel any pity. She just felt that she had no chance to become the teacher of the Five Emperors, so she continued to concentrate on helping the human race.

On this day, the Holy Mother Wu Dang heard that Shun sent people to kill Gun. The Holy Mother Wu Dang had met Gun before. This man was stubborn and did not accept other people's suggestions, but he was still capable. He temporarily stopped the flood and saved many human beings. Later, the flood continued to rise and caused the dam to burst, which was not entirely Gun's fault.

The Holy Mother Wu Dang felt that it was a bit too harsh for Shun to kill Gun just because the dam broke.

What was even more difficult for Wu Dang Sheng Mu to accept was that Shun actually gave the task of flood control to Gun's son Yu.

In order to prevent the floods from becoming more difficult to control and causing more suffering to the human race, Holy Mother Wu Dang flew to Yu Mountain to find Yu.

At that time, Yu was working at his desk thinking hard about how to control the flood. Suddenly, he saw colorful clouds covering the window and a dazzling glow.

Yu looked up and saw the Holy Mother Wu Dang flying towards him.

The Holy Mother Wu Dang was stunned when she saw Yu for the first time, because this teenage boy was surrounded by human aura and he had the fate of the Five Emperors!
But wasn't Shun the last of the Five Emperors? Would the young man in front of him compete with Shun for the throne? Or were there more than five Five Emperors?
