Primordial Era: The Way of the Three Lights and Stars

Chapter 69 069 Unexpected Changes

Wei Guang was at a loss for words when faced with the bizarre actions of the three ancestors of the human race. If they really stole Fuxi's merits, wouldn't Nuwa slap them to death?

Shaking his head helplessly, Wei Guang slipped back into the tribe.

"Wu Jie greets Master."

"The Suihuo clan, the Youchao clan, and the Ziyi clan pay their respects to Senior Xuanguang."

Although the three members of the Suihuo clan had all reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, they dared not address Wei Guang as an equal, because the other party was far superior to them in both status and strength.

No need for formalities.

Wei Guang lifted the four people up, feeling quite troubled by the matter.

"Master..."

Xuan Shan Wu Jie had just opened his mouth when he couldn't say the words he was about to utter. It was too embarrassing, and the Third Ancestor looked ashamed.

After thinking for a moment, Wei Guang said, "The Emperor's merit does not lie here. You can be a guardian deity of the human race, with a rank comparable to the Three Ancestors."

Xuan Shan Wu Jie is, after all, Wei Guang's eldest disciple. If it can elevate his status and position among the human race, Wei Guang will naturally not miss the opportunity. However, it depends on whether the three members of the Sui Huo clan have any objections.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Guang looked at the three members of the Suihuo clan.

"feasible."

The three agreed almost without thinking. Xuan Shan Wu Jie's actions had indeed benefited the human race, and since they were the ones who started this whole thing, they naturally had no objections.

In fact, the three of them were even hoping that Xuan Shan Wu Jie would become the ancestor of the human race.

Behind Xuan Shan Wu Jie stands Wei Guang, the leader of the Jie Sect. The closer his relationship with the human race, the safer the human race will be. With Wei Guang and the Jie Sect backing them up, who would dare to provoke the human race?

"Alright, then let's announce it to the human race on a chosen day." Seeing that they had no objections, Wei Guang nodded in satisfaction.

"No problem." With that, Suihuo looked at Weiguang and tentatively asked, "What are your plans for the sovereign in Huaxu's womb, senior?"

Wei Guang said, "When he is born and comes of age, I will take him as my disciple."

Upon hearing this, the Third Ancestor was delighted, for this would further strengthen Wei Guang's relationship with the human race.

Afterwards, the group didn't chat for long. The three ancestors took Xuanshan Wujie away and began to prepare for Xuanshan Wujie's appointment as a guardian deity of the human race.

Afterwards, Huaxu was pregnant for twelve years and gave birth to a son.

On the day this child was born, extraordinary phenomena occurred: rolling thunder transformed into a rising dragon, and the Thunder God roared like a dragon. When the thunderclouds dispersed, purple aura filled the tribe.

Wei Guang returned to the tribe, named him Fuxi, and left a message saying that he would take him as a disciple when he came of age, before leaving again.

In the same year, the three ancestors jointly proclaimed to the entire human race, bestowing upon Xuan Shan Wu Jie the title of Heavenly General Protector of the Human Race, ranking him above the three ancestors and making him the fourth ancestor of the human race.

Although it was only an imperial decree from the Three Ancestors, Heaven also bestowed merit upon him. Although not much, it was enough to allow Xuan Shan Wu Jie to directly enter the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Although the various tribes were somewhat puzzled as to how their common lord had become a guardian deity, they accepted it with pleasure.

Since Xuan Shan Wu Jie began leading the human race in external wars, the human race's life has become much better, and he truly deserves the honor of being the fourth ancestor of the human race.

Meanwhile, on Fuxi's side...

It could speak from birth, ran around everywhere at the age of one, and understood the ways of the world by the age of three. Its miraculous abilities quickly spread throughout the entire human race.

Fuxi spent his childhood happily.

On the day he came of age, Wei Guang descended upon the tribe, took him as his disciple, and took him away from the tribe.

For the first hundred years, Wei Guang passed on to him the Primordial Star Dao Scripture and supernatural arts, and devoted himself to teaching him cultivation. Later, in addition to cultivation, he also taught him propriety, integrity, how to conduct oneself in society, and how to manage subordinates.

However, he did not tell him about the predicament of humanity; there were some things he needed to understand on his own.

In terms of cultivation, Fuxi was far inferior to Xuanshan Wujie, and even less capable than Haoyang and Yue'e. After three hundred years of cultivation, he was only at the level of a True Immortal.

Knowing that he lacked talent, Fuxi stopped pursuing cultivation and resigned early to return to his tribe.

After returning to his tribe, Fuxi quickly became the tribe's chieftain. However, not long after taking office, Fuxi discovered the predicament that the human race was facing.

Because humans lacked the means to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, they suffered greatly from natural disasters.

Therefore, Fuxi wanted to create a method to avoid misfortune and bring good fortune, in order to help mankind overcome this calamity, but because his cultivation was still shallow, he was slow to find the way.

Left with no other choice, Fuxi had to seek help from Wei Guang.

Wei Guang naturally wouldn't create a method for him directly and steal his merits. Instead, he bestowed the Hetu and Luoshu upon him and then sent him back to his tribe.

With the help of the Hetu and Luoshu, Fuxi quickly created the principles of the Eight Trigrams, which could bring good fortune and avoid misfortune. In addition to bringing good fortune and avoiding misfortune, it also had many other wonderful uses.

After everyone in the tribe learned the Eight Trigrams, Fuxi officially left the tribe, intending to spread the Eight Trigrams method throughout the entire human race.

As Fuxi traveled through one tribe after another, his reputation for virtue gradually spread, subtly hinting at a rivalry with the one that had once challenged the authority of Xuanshan Wujie.

However, since Xuanshan Wujie had already become the fourth ancestor of the human race, no one rejected the appearance of Fuxi.

As Fuxi created the Eight Trigrams, and more and more people learned the Eight Trigrams, his fortune began to rise rapidly, and his cultivation became smoother.

In just three hundred years, he has reached the Golden Immortal level. Although he is still not as good as Xuan Shan Wu Jie, he is still much better than before.

Wei Guang, who had been paying close attention to Fuxi, nodded with great satisfaction. Once Fuxi spread the Eight Trigrams method throughout the entire human race, his mission would be accomplished.

Everything seemed to be going very smoothly, but then an unexpected turn of events occurred.

For some unknown reason, the Xuanshan tribe began to inexplicably oppose Fuxi, and many unfavorable remarks about Fuxi were circulated from the Xuanshan tribe.

Because of the Xuanshan Wujie, the Xuanshan tribe enjoys unparalleled prestige, and its strength is currently the greatest among the human race.

Once they expressed their stance, many tribes that recognized the absence of calamity in Xuanshan responded and began to oppose Fuxi, greatly hindering Fuxi's spread of the Dao.

Wei Guang frowned, completely baffled.

Civil strife?

That shouldn't be the case.

Suppressing internal strife and unifying the human race was the business of the Human Emperor Xuanyuan, so how did it end up in the era of the Heavenly Emperor?

Just because of Xuan Shan Wu Jie?

Xuanshan Wujie became the fourth ancestor of the human race, which can be considered a perfect achievement. The Xuanshan tribe should not cause trouble. Could it be that they want to emulate Xuanshan Wujie and reach new heights?

Or perhaps someone is secretly plotting something?

Thinking of this, Wei Guang couldn't help but calculate carefully, but the feedback he received was that it was the personal behavior of the current chief of the Xuanshan tribe, just as he had guessed.

But Wei Guang felt that something was not quite right.

However, since no reason could be found, it could only be put aside for the time being.

Wei Guang could naturally handle this matter, but the merit he earned was useless to him, so he simply sent a telepathic message to Xuan Shan Wu Jie, asking him to go and deal with it, since it was originally his family matter.

Upon receiving Wei Guang's telepathic message, Xuan Shan Wu Jie dared not delay for a moment and immediately returned to the Xuan Shan tribe.

"We pay our respects to the Dharma Protector General."

When Xuan Shan Wu Jie returned, the entire Xuan Shan tribe came to welcome him. Their eyes were filled with fervor as they looked at Xuan Shan Wu Jie, as if they were looking at their idol.

Xuan Shan Wu Jie looked at the leader.

Xuanshan Wuhui is a cousin of Xuanshan Wujie. Although he is not as good as Xuanshan Wujie, he is still considered one of the top talents in the entire Xuanshan tribe.

When Xuanshan Wujie stepped down as clan leader, he also entered the Golden Immortal realm, so Xuanshan Wujie passed the position to him.

Centuries later, when they met again, Xuan Shan Wu Jie was shocked to find that he had actually reached the late stage of Taiyi realm, not far from becoming a Daluo Jinxian.

He was completely stunned by Xuan Shan Wu Jie's appearance.

Xuan Shan Wu Hui's talent is indeed good, but it's definitely not that exaggerated. You should know that it took him more than 20,000 years to go from Golden Immortal to the late stage of Taiyi.

Xuanshan Wuhui completed the journey that took him more than 20,000 years in just a few hundred years?

This is not reasonable.

Even if I had some good luck and some opportunities, what kind of opportunities are so exaggerated?

But aside from a stroke of luck, Xuan Shan Wu Jie couldn't think of any other reason for the time being. On the contrary, with his current cultivation level, it was reasonable for him to want to compete with Fu Xi.

"No need for formalities, I have no regrets, come with me."

With a casual wave of his hand, Xuan Shan Wu Jie flew out of the tribe, with Xuan Shan Wu Hui following closely behind.

Before long, the two arrived at the mountain peak where Wei Guang had taught Xuan Shan Wu Jie.

Xuanshan Wujie looked at Xuanshan Wuhui: "Tell me, what happened?"

"Reporting to my kinsman, I know that Fuxi is the divinely ordained ruler of the human race, but his cultivation is only at the Golden Immortal realm. If the myriad races invade again, how can he lead the human race to resist?"

Xuan Shan Wu Hui's expression was extremely serious.

"Since the birth of humankind, we have experienced one calamity after another, and each calamity has taught us that humankind can only rely on itself."

"My cousin should have been the ruler of the human race, but in the end he became a so-called guardian deity. I don't know the specific reason, but I can guess that it was to give way to Fuxi."

"I know I am not as good as my cousin, but by chance my cultivation has greatly increased, and it happened at this crucial time."

"My cousin believes that this is the will of Heaven, and that Fuxi is unworthy of the position. Therefore, I want to compete with him to see if he is qualified to seize the position of the supreme ruler from my cousin."

Xuan Shan Wu Hui spoke with utmost sincerity, leaving Xuan Shan Wu Jie momentarily speechless.

Xuanshan Wuhui meant that he was dissatisfied with Fuxi giving way to him, so he wanted to trip up Fuxi and see if Fuxi was qualified.

In this light, it seems that the problem lies with myself.

No, it should be the fault of the Three Ancestors. If they hadn't made you become that damn human race's supreme ruler, this whole mess wouldn't have happened.

"I know what you're thinking, but the supreme ruler of humanity is not something you can simply fight for."

"Fuxi is my cousin and fellow disciple. What you're doing is putting my cousin in an unjust position. How can I face my master in the future?"

"Furthermore, you have blocked Junior Brother Fuxi's path. How can Master sit idly by? How can the tribe withstand Master's wrath?"

Xuan Shan Wu Hui's expression remained resolute: "He is Fuxi's master, and also my cousin's master. My cousin is clearly the ruler of the human race, so why should he ask my cousin to relinquish his position to Fuxi?"

"If a teacher cannot treat all students equally, what kind of teacher is he?"

"Brother, Father named me Wu Hui (meaning 'No Regrets') in the hope that I would never regret anything I do. So, no matter what the outcome of this matter is, I will not regret it."
