Chapter 197 Zhuanxu Bears Thorns to Apologize, Zhen Yuanzi Joins the Scene as a Spectator

Decades later, Zhuanxu returned to power, and the common ruler of the human race was succeeded by Gaoxin.

He was the grandson of Shaohao and the nephew of Zhuanxu. He called himself Emperor Ku and was known as King of Wood. Kong Xuan became the imperial tutor, and the Golden Roc and a group of immortals and gods also descended to the mortal world to assist him. They were there to help Kong Xuan, not simply because they were human.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Three Sovereigns of the Human Race have entered the Southern Heavenly Gate," Venus reported, bowing.

Haotian and Yaochi exchanged a glance: "Let them in."

It must be Venus, and outside the South Heavenly Gate, another streak of yellow light descended.

"Fellow Daoist, what brings you to the Heavenly Court?" Hongyun said with a smile, taking the newcomer's arm. "The ginseng fruit is ripe, let this humble Daoist have a taste."

Zhen Yuanzi snorted coldly: "No, even if it's cooked, you won't get a share."

Because of this guy, every time the ginseng fruit ripened, he had to give three to each of the Three Pure Ones, and also offer ten to the Heavenly Court. He also had to give some to the two saints, Nuwa and Houtu, so he could only keep less than ten for himself.

"Don't be so stingy." Hongyun chuckled as she pulled one out of Zhen Yuanzi's sleeve, eating it as she spoke. "When the Fire Cloud Cave's Fire Fruit ripens, I'll give you mine too."

"No thanks, I can't afford it." Zhen Yuanzi snorted coldly at Zhuanxu, who was carrying thorns, and strode forward with Hongyun in his arms.

Xuanyuan looked at Fuxi and smiled bitterly: "Royal brother."

"Let's go." A sigh came from beside him, and Shao Hao quickly followed with Zhuanxu, who had his head down.

Numerous immortals and gods patrolled outside Longde Palace, clearly distinguishing between the Wu and Yao tribes, which made Fuxi's eyelids twitch slightly.

"Fellow Daoist Fuxi." Xing Tian stood tall and straight, his headless body adding to his fierce appearance. "Emperor Xuanyuan has also arrived."

Fuxi remained expressionless and nodded at him, which prompted Xing Tian to let out a soft snort.

Is nodding a sarcastic jab at his current headlessness?

Before his reincarnation, Fuxi was an enemy of their Wu tribe, and Xuanyuan was also his enemy. All the old rivals have gathered together.

"The Empress says that the Great Witch Xingtian should serve as a good minister in the Heavenly Court," Zhen Yuanzi, dressed in the robes of the Underworld Emperor, suddenly spoke.

Xing Tian's body trembled: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will obey your command."

Taibai Jinxing watched Xing Tian's actions and shook his head slightly in his heart. This guy really needs to be given a good talking-to from time to time.

"Your Majesty, please invite the Three Sovereigns and the Emperor of Fengdu inside."

Fuxi glanced at Shaohao and Zhuanxu: "It is time for him to come and apologize to the Heavenly Empress."

Venus choked, truly worthy of being called Fuxi.

Haotian Yaochi sat high on his throne, watching Shaohao and Zhuanxu kowtow and the three emperors bow, and he symbolically returned the bow with his hands clasped.

"Fellow Daoist Zhenyuan, what brings you here? Could it be for Hongyun?" Haotian chuckled.

Zhen Yuanzi's expression remained unchanged: "Your subject has come to deliver offerings from the underworld."

Yaochi's gaze turned cold for a moment as she looked at Zhuanxu: "I remember, the Underworld still has three hundred years of tribute to us."

Zhen Yuanzi's face stiffened, and he gave Hongyun a look that said, "I've come here because Lady Pingxin has something to tell me."

"What message did Fellow Daoist Houtu ask you to deliver?" Haotian's eyes flickered.

"Her Majesty says that His Majesty wants to re-establish the divine covenant with the human race, and she also wants to participate in it."

Fuxi sighed inwardly, while Hongyun glared fiercely at Xuanyuan, realizing that her imperial brother had indeed been right.

Zhuanxu, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled. After he returned to his position, his grandfather had already reprimanded him.

Yaochi turned her head and glanced at Haotian; Houtu was indeed not one to be outdone.

"Fellow Daoists, please have a seat." Haotian gestured to the seats on either side, without replying to Zhen Yuanzi's words, "Shaohao, please sit as well."

"Thank you, Heavenly Emperor/Holy Father."

Zhen Yuanzi looked at Zhuanxu kneeling alone on the ground and sighed inwardly. There were no outsiders in the hall at the moment, so it didn't matter if Zhuanxu knelt down. Even Xuanyuan and Shaohao were calling him Holy Father, which was to show their attitude.

"Heavenly Emperor, the reason I brought this unworthy descendant here is to apologize to the Heavenly Empress." As the first of the Three Sovereigns, Fuxi was the one who should say these words.

Yaochi smiled coldly: "Zhuanxu did it all for the sake of humanity, how can I punish him?"

Shao Hao quickly replied, "The Heavenly Empress is my master, and Zhuanxu is my nephew, so naturally he is your junior."

The Five Emperors were of noble status, and it was naturally difficult to punish the others besides the Three Sovereigns. However, when it came to seniority and hierarchy, there were some issues to consider.

Yaochi looked at Shaohao with a fawning smile: "You certainly know how to talk."

"Master, what you say is from the bottom of my heart."

"Alright." Yaochi snorted lightly. "You are the head of the Five Emperors, so you should focus on your cultivation. Nowadays, the younger generation are all extremely capable, making it even more difficult for you to maintain your position as the head of the Five Emperors."

Shao Hao silently shut his mouth. "Nephew, Master has chosen you!"

The merits accumulated by the Five Emperors would naturally decrease with each generation, but the event of severing the connection between heaven and earth made the merits accumulated by Zhuanxu no less than those of the Five Emperors.

"Zhuanxu, get up. The Three Sovereigns have come here merely to make a statement. The Heavenly Emperor has already issued his decree, so I have no need to say anything more." Yaochi looked at the scars on Zhuanxu's back, turned her head away, and said nothing more.

Zhuanxu raised his head and saw his grandfather nod slightly, and immediately felt relieved: "Zhuanxu was offended before, thank you for your forgiveness, Empress."

He bowed to Haotian again before carefully sitting down below Shaohao.

"Fellow Daoist, regarding the matter of re-establishing the Human-Immortal Contract..." Fuxi sighed and asked tentatively.

Haotian raised his hand, stopping Fuxi from continuing: "I have my own plans for this matter. Let's discuss it after all five emperors have returned to their positions."

The Three Emperors' eyes darkened instantly. Haotian turned his head and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhenyuan, the Earth Immortal lineage should not show themselves these years. They only need to regulate the earth veins. As for the human race, they only need to fulfill their divine duties. After the Five Emperors return to their positions, I will handle the matter."

"Your subject obeys the Emperor's decree."

"I have some suspicions about what Consort Pingxin said. Go back and tell her that this matter cannot be accomplished by her alone. Since the Underworld has submitted to the Heavenly Court, you should also get involved. Similarly, you can also give up some of the Earth Immortal lineage."

Zhen Yuanzi looked thoughtful, while Fuxi's eyes deepened. Was this a move to further integrate the Heavenly Court and the Underworld?

"The Five Emperors have returned to their positions. I, as the Lord of Immortals and Gods, hereby sign a contract with your human race. Until then, your human race must not cause any more trouble."

Shaohao and Zhuanxu were startled, keeping their eyes down and not daring to utter a word.

A celestial secret flashed in Fuxi's eyes, and calamity gathered. In the darkness, it seemed that the human race was about to face another calamity.

"What does Your Majesty mean by this? Why do I foresee another calamity befalling humanity?"

Haotian glanced at him in surprise, thinking, "He truly deserves to be called a master of celestial secrets."

"Indeed, the human race is the protagonist of heaven and earth, but it still needs to go through one last trial. It all depends on whether the Five Emperors have the means." Haotian glanced around. "This is the spontaneous operation of the Heavenly Dao, a test of the human race's ability to deal with natural disasters. Immortals and gods can only solve matters at the extraordinary level, but in the end, the human race still has to rely on itself."

"The human race may suffer losses," Shennong said with concern.

"have."

"Will the Heavenly Court send anyone?" Xuanyuan frowned.

Haotian glanced at him: "The last two imperial tutors belong to the Jie Sect. Our Heavenly Court will decide based on the situation."

"Thank you, Heavenly Emperor." Xuanyuan bowed.

"One day in Heaven is equivalent to one year in the Primordial World. Once all five emperors have returned to their positions, I will resolve all matters. I will not keep you here any longer."

Fuxi nodded: "Since the Heavenly Emperor has spoken thus, I have no choice but to obey. I beg the Heavenly Emperor to consider that you are the Holy Father of the Human Race, and if all else fails..."

Xuanyuan lowered his head and softly called out, "Uncle."

Shaohao and Zhuanxu stared wide-eyed in shock, and Zhen Yuanzi also shuddered. What kind of crazy commotion was this?
