Chapter 250 Who is the Master of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?
Seeing that these saints had not even destroyed the demon race, they were thinking about dividing up their power. Instead of getting angry, Nuwa smiled and said, "The demon race has indeed committed many sins, but they have both merits and evils, and their merits and demerits do not offset each other. With a saint like me taking care of them, there is no need to trouble you two brothers."
Zhunti Buddha shook his head and said, "This is wrong. As the saying goes, fate with Buddha is predestined. Since you have a fate with Buddha, why should you resist the Western Dharma? Sister Nuwa can let those demons choose for themselves. I believe they can make the best decision."
Master Tongtian nodded in agreement.
He was also thinking of recruiting a few more demon disciples to fill the vacancies in Jiejiao, so he would never let Nuwa take all these demons under his command.
Yuanshi Tianzun said impatiently: "We can discuss this trivial matter later. What I want to talk about now is to damage the luck of the two races, Wu Lich. Sister Nuwa, do you have any objection?"
Nuwa smiled and shook her head, saying, "Although I am the Queen of Wa, I have seen everything the demons have done, so I naturally have no objection. But if it is just a small matter like this, there is no need for you, brothers and sisters, to call the three of us here, right?"
Taishang Laojun said, "Of course, I would not call the three junior brothers and sisters and the ancestor just for these trivial matters. As saints of the prehistoric world, we have to make plans for the prehistoric world. When the witches and liches are destroyed, will the two junior brothers and sisters still want to take charge of humanity on their own? You must know that the more you grab, the more you lose. You must let go of some things in order to gain more."
coming!
Hengming and Elder Yangmei, who had not spoken for a long time, perked up, knowing that their true purpose had finally been exposed.
Heng Ming said calmly: "The Way of Mankind was created by us. Even the Way of Heaven has no objection to this. Naturally, we must govern it. Let's not mention this matter again."
Hengming is also an extremely intimidating existence among the saints. Now that he has spoken, the two Western saints will not say anything more. Although Tongtian Sect Master believes that he is not weaker than Hengming, he has no choice if other saints do not support him.
Yuanshi Tianzun snorted coldly, obviously dissatisfied with Hengming's attitude, but he didn't say anything in the end.
Taishang Laojun disagreed. He didn't really want to take advantage of humanity, but he just wanted to lay the groundwork for what he was going to say next.
Now he realized that humanity was the forbidden fruit between the three of them. If anyone had any idea of trying to do that, they would be completely at odds with each other.
Hengming and his companions did not want to start the War of Saints, and they did not want to start it either.
After all, they are the Golden Immortals of the Great Luo. If the prehistoric world is destroyed, they can just walk away. But they have to live and die with it, so naturally they have to be extra careful.
Taishang Laojun changed the subject and said solemnly: "It's fine for humanity, but the human race can no longer be controlled by others like this. We are willing to acknowledge the eternal protagonist status of the human race, but we can't let our investment go to waste. I am the leader of the human race, and I would like to propose that many leaders be established within the human race. The leaders should be the human race. If anyone wants to become the leader of the human race, he must be reincarnated as a human to have the qualifications to pursue the leader!"
At the end, Taishang Laojun's tone became extremely serious, and he would not tolerate being rejected at all.
Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, Jieying Taoist, and Zhunti Buddha also released their aura at the right time. The five saints exploded, immediately scaring the disciples and boys present so much that they turned pale. They wanted to kneel down on the spot and beg the saints to calm down.
The saint's disciples and boys including the Five-Colored Deer, Cangtian, and Fairy Qingluan also felt their knees go weak and were about to be forced to kneel down, but Hengming remained in place and seemed to suddenly appear in front of them, like a reef in front of a huge wave, seemingly insignificant but hard and upright. Even strong winds and huge waves could not break down the hard reef.
With Hengming blocking the way, these people gradually returned to normal.
Hengming looked at these saints who were united in purpose thoughtfully. He knew why they had united together, a united front that was rare even among the two saints in the West.
This is because among the many ethnic groups currently, apart from the two races of wizards and liches, only the human race has the strength to occupy the prehistoric world.
Before the birth of the human race, "human" may have referred to all the creatures in the ancient world, but after the birth of the human race, "human" referred to the human race alone. Moreover, the human way had been separated from the heavenly way. With the human way above, the human race no longer needed to rely on the heavenly way to survive.
Who can be the eternal protagonist of the prehistoric world, the Sheren tribe?
The other saints were not unaware of the reason, but the emergence of the human race was conducive to gathering the scattered fortunes together, making it easier for them to divide them up, so they tacitly welcomed the outcome and pushed forward with tacit understanding.
But if the human race continues to be ruled by only the three of them, then the cake is too big and will be enjoyed by only the three of them, and the other five saints will naturally be unhappy.
That's why this meeting was specially convened, hoping to split some of the benefits from them so as to consolidate their position as saints.
But Hengming was well prepared, and Nuwa and Yangmei also had their guesses, so the three of them just pretended to discuss it, and then said in unison: "This proposal is fine, but once you are reincarnated as a human, you will always be a human, and you cannot be reborn again. After becoming the leader of the human race, you must live in the Fire Cloud Cave forever, and you are not allowed to go out unless necessary."
Although the Three Pure Ones felt that the subsequent conditions were harsh, they did not want their disciples to become the leaders of the human race, so after consulting with their divine will, it was Taishang Laojun who nodded first and said, "We agree."
But Zhunti Buddha was a little anxious. He originally wanted to let his disciple become the leader of the human race so that he could enter the human race and spread the Buddhist teachings. But the other six venerables agreed, and he had no choice.
The Taoist Jie Yin said, "We agree, but is there a fixed number for the position of leader?"
Heng Ming smiled and said, "As the saying goes, nine is the extreme and seven is the peak. Logically, there should be seven leaders. However, the human race is the eternal protagonist of the prehistoric world, so if there is one more leader, there will be eight leaders, namely the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. But after the Five Emperors, the Emperors and the Sovereigns will return their fate to the human race. It will be impossible for the human race to have a true leader again. Without a leader, the world will be blessed."
All the saints said in unison: "Good."
Afterwards, all the saints worked together to determine the destiny. The Heavenly Dao was in charge of the great world, but the power was delegated to the saints. Since all the saints had decided that the wizards and liches should be destroyed, this secret was naturally determined in the dark.
After the secret was decided, Hengming's expression relaxed, and a faint and nameless aura emanated from him. Everyone turned their attention to Hengming.
Although no one knows what happened to him, based on the path of destiny that he practiced, it must have happened after they set the number of days, in accordance with the operation of the path of destiny, and he gained some kind of benefit from the path.
Although they did not want Hengming's strength to increase greatly, they had no choice but to set the number of days, so they naturally had to hold their noses and allow him to benefit.
Hengming only felt that the great way in his body was spreading endlessly, and in the end it actually ignored the obstruction of many evil spirits and spread firmly to the luck of the two races of wizards and liches.
The destiny of the two races of wizards and liches is guarded by a supreme energy. The one guarding the destiny of the demon race is naturally Nuwa. After all, as the Queen of Wa, even if Nuwa does not take the demon race seriously, the demon race has borrowed a little of Nuwa's luck and gained a glimmer of hope in this inevitable death.
The energy within the Wu Clan is as heavy and steady as the earth. It is the last bit of support that Hou Tu Niangniang gives to the Wu Clan, allowing them to retain a little strength.
Although the Queen Mother Hou Tu was sealed in a lawless land by the three of them, the Six Paths of Reincarnation were transformed from her body. Every time the Six Paths of Reincarnation gained a bit of merit, it would fill a hole for the Witch Clan, and naturally they would be able to get a glimmer of hope.
The Avenue of Fate continued to spread in terms of luck, and finally completely included every demon and every witch in it. All the memories they had experienced turned into surging waves in a long river, and finally turned into bits of memory sand in the Avenue of Fate, which precipitated some of its foundation.
When he first started practicing, Heng Ming used the method of manipulating the fate of all living beings to gain insights into the great path of destiny. However, as his practice progressed, this method gradually began to decline.
It was just that this method was too inefficient. If he had to control them one by one, how long would it take for him to take the final step? Naturally, he gave up decisively.
It's not that Hengming doesn't want to control more living beings, but with each additional living being, the difficulty of control increases. Even in the end, if there is one more living being, these causes and conditions will occur in geometric multiples, which is a complexity that even the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian finds difficult to control.
It was not until today that Hengming finally comprehended the way of all living beings and thoroughly understood the operation of fate. The two races of wizards and liches were the first ones he manipulated.
Nuwa would naturally not resist Hengming's manipulation of the demon clan. Although Houtu was unwilling, she was in a lawless place and was powerless to stop Hengming from controlling the witch clan.
"So that's how it is... It's just like this... It's fate..."
Heng Ming said this three times in a row, and finally put away his aspirations, returning to his previous calm state.
Although he did not show anything at this moment, all the saints present knew that Hengming's cultivation had made great progress. Even they felt as if they were bound by silk strings just now, and were being controlled like puppets. This was obviously not something that Hengming could do before.
"The cultivation of the Great Dao of Fate is both difficult and easy. If everything goes wrong, not only will the cultivation not progress, but it will regress. However, if everything goes as planned, and everything develops according to the self-determined trajectory, it will become stronger like a snowball. It seems that we need to think of some way to curb the cultivation of Eternal Fate."
Taishang Laojun secretly made up his mind, but if he wanted to curb the practice of the Great Way of Destiny, he had to interrupt Hengming's control over the future.
But what they did was undoubtedly promoting the progress of eternal life, and as humanity developed, Nuwa's cultivation would also become stronger. This was simply an unsolvable problem.
Although other saints also had this idea, they had to give up in the end and think about how to deal with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors first.
Zhunti Buddha said: "Although the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are all human beings, they also need teachers to teach them. Brother Jieyin and I have two wise men, Maitreya and Medicine Master, under our tutelage, who can serve as teachers of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors."
Tongtian Patriarch shook his head repeatedly and said, "This is not a good thing. This human race is from the East. There are wise men from the East who will teach them. Why do we need people from the West to come and help us?"
The Buddha Zhunti said with a fake smile: "The East and the West are both primitive, and the human race is the eternal protagonist of the primitive, so why should we divide it into the East and the West? I have a disciple named Dashizhi, who has already attained the position of Bodhisattva. In the secular world, he is the patriarch of a human tribe. It can be seen that the human race has a predestined relationship with Buddha. Brother Tongtian is obsessed with appearances."
