Chapter 251 Hou Yi Dies and the War Begins

Then the two began to quarrel with each other. You wouldn't let me, and I wouldn't let you. You sabotaged me, and I exposed your shortcomings. In short, we didn't want the other to get what they wanted.

Until the end, Yuanshi Tianzun said majestically: "You have all become saints, but you are arguing over such a small profit. It is really not beautiful. Before the eldest brother is in power, it is natural for him to make the decision. Junior brother Hengming, junior sister Nuwa, and ancestor Yangmei, what do you think?"

Heng Ming thought about it again and again, and finally said: "The three of us want the throne of the Emperor and the Emperor's teacher. As for the other two emperors and five emperors, you brothers and sisters can decide for yourselves."

After hearing this, the other saints were stunned for a moment, surprised that Hengming actually required so little, just a throne of the Emperor and the Emperor's teacher. According to the status and strength of the three of them, even if they took all the thrones of the Three Emperors, it would actually be nothing.

However, seeing that Nuwa and Yangmei Laozu had no objection, they were also happy to see it happen. Taishang Laojun clapped his hands and said, "In this case, we should follow Junior Brother Hengming's words. Then the next few leaders' positions--"

Nuwa suddenly said, "Except for the position of Heavenly Emperor, the remaining leader position cannot be decided by the saints themselves, but depends on the various voices within the human race. Only when all human races respect the Lord together can the leader be achieved."

However, Nuwa's words also caused dissatisfaction among many saints, the first of whom was Yuanshi Tianzun.

Yuanshi Tianzun was dissatisfied and said: "Why can't we decide the positions of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, but you can decide who the Emperor of Heaven is? Isn't this too unfair?"

Nuwa said, "Although we have decided on the emperor, we also respect this agreement. If the emperor we choose is not recognized by all human beings, then we have nothing to say and we will return the throne to you. Is that ok?"

Heng Ming and Patriarch Yang Mei said in unison: "It is just as Nuwa said."

Seeing that Nuwa was restraining herself, the other saints had nothing to say. Moreover, they had given up a lot of benefits before, so they said in unison: "Good."

Having achieved their goal, Hengming and the other two didn't want to get entangled with him anymore, so they just watched the show from the sidelines.

Without the deterrence of these three people, the remaining five saints instantly became a mess. In short, they were not willing to give up even the slightest bit of their interests.

Zhunti Buddha said loudly: "My disciple Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva is also a human being, so he can fight for the position of leader!"

How can the leader's teacher be compared to the leader himself? Cundi Buddha is best at taking advantage of every opportunity and will never give up these positions.

Although the Taoist Master Jie Yin did not speak, he stood beside the Buddha Cundi and provided him with the greatest support.

Tongtian Sect Master sneered and said, "Since Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva has entered Buddhism, he is no longer a member of the human race. How can there be a human race? Buddhism can have a position as an imperial teacher, which is very good."

Zhunti Buddha shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, no, no, how can the great principles of Buddhism be understood by just an imperial teacher? The position of the imperial teacher may still be possible."

Sure enough!

These words flashed through the minds of the Three Pure Ones. The real purpose was not to drink. Zhunti Buddha had never thought of taking more positions of imperial teachers, but wanted the position of king teacher.

Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things; the three treasures of the sky are the sun, the moon, and the stars; the three treasures of the earth are water, fire, and wind; the three treasures of man are essence, energy, and spirit; the three talents are heaven, earth, and man; the three origins are heaven, earth, and water.

Among all the profound and wonderful principles, three is a dividing point, just like the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Among them, the Five Emperors are not important, what is important is the Three Sovereigns. The position of one of the Three Sovereigns is equivalent to that of five of the Five Emperors.

Tongtian Sect Master said coldly: "You are daydreaming. Do you also want to become the Imperial Master?"

Zhunti Buddha was not angry, and said with a smile: "I am just daydreaming, what about you? Do you think you can become the Imperial Master?"

What the Buddha Cundi said instantly left Tongtian speechless.

Although they knew that the Buddha Cundi was trying to sow discord between them, there was indeed this flaw between them. There were three sovereigns and five emperors, and eight main positions. The Emperor of Heaven was divided, so who would be the second emperor?
Now there are only the positions of Emperor of the Earth and Emperor of Man left. Taishang Laojun is the eldest brother of all saints and the leader of the Three Pure Ones, so naturally he wants to take the position of Imperial Teacher. This is understandable, but what about the last position of Imperial Teacher?

It can be said that the Buddha Cundi used a thorough open conspiracy. Although it was inferior, it was extremely useful because it was a matter of personal interest. Even if they were brothers, they had to settle accounts clearly.

There was a long silence among the five saints. The Three Pure Ones were competing with each other, with undercurrents surging, and they were unwilling to speak. The two saints from the West were happy to hear the news and planned to fish in troubled waters, so they were even more reluctant to speak. Hengming and others were just watching the show from the sidelines, and they were not kind enough to resolve the conflict between them.

After an unknown amount of time, Taishang Laojun slowly spoke: "Xuan Du is a human being, so he can be the teacher of the Earth Emperor. The Human Emperor is the last of the Three Emperors and the beginning of the Five Emperors, so he should kill. Junior Brother Yuanshi's Dao is pure and peaceful, so he can teach the Human Emperor to kill justly. A balance between the two is the right way. After the Five Emperors, people are too peaceful. Junior Brother Tongtian's Dao is full of evil spirits, so he can teach one of the two Five Emperors. That's all."

Although he said it very tactfully, Taishang Laojun seemed to have excluded Tongtian Jiaozhu and only allowed him to take the position of Imperial Teacher. Tongtian Jiaozhu was so angry that he wanted to riot on the spot, but since no one supported him, he had no choice.

In the end, he could only look at Yuanshi Tianzun and Taishang Laojun hatefully, and closed his eyes tightly to express his dissatisfaction.

Yuanshi Tianzun had gotten a great advantage and was naturally overjoyed. He said with a smile: "Senior brother, your decision is very fair. I admire you. Do you two junior brothers have any objections?" The last sentence was directed at Cundi Buddha and Jie Yin Taoist.

The Zhunti Buddha, who was so fussy just now, seemed to be a little more generous now. He waved his sleeves and said, "It is the recommendation of our respected senior brother. Since the position of leader has been decided, we should not stay here any longer and will take our leave first."

Afterwards, Cundi Buddha and the Taoist Jie Yin took Jin Chanzi and turned into Buddha light and left, with smiles of triumph on their faces.

Hengming and his companions were satisfied with the good show and also said goodbye and left.

For a moment, only Sanqing and others were left in the building.

Seeing everyone leaving, Tongtian Patriarch was too lazy to put on any more drama of brotherly love, and immediately took the Water and Fire Boy and turned into sword light and escaped, completely ignoring the dissuasion of Taishang Laojun.

Seeing that Master Tong Tian was so rude, Yuan Shi Tian Zun snorted coldly: "It's really unreasonable. He left so quickly before the brothers left. I will definitely teach him a lesson someday!"

Taishang Laojun sighed and said, "Forget it, let him be. Zhunti is really too erratic, forcing me to speak out this decision in court. If it were only the three of us brothers here, Tongtian might not refuse to agree after persuading us kindly, but being humiliated in front of so many people, if it were me, I would also feel insulted. Forget it, I have to speak out sooner or later, and speaking out today can be regarded as making up for it in advance."

Yuanshi Tianzun advised, "Brother, you don't have to do this. The position of the Human Emperor is a link between the past and the future, and it is necessary to kill a lot. Tongtian is a person who does not mind killing. If he is asked to teach the Human Emperor, I am afraid that the Human Emperor will be too murderous and not peaceful enough. If he kills too much, he can be a general, but if he is not peaceful, how can he be a good leader? He will know it himself later."

Taishang Laojun had no choice but to nod his head. After all, this was the only other thing he could do.

The sun and the moon are like jumping balls, the wheel of time is spinning rapidly, and thousands of years pass by in a hurry.

During these ten thousand years, many things happened in the prehistoric world. For example, Chi You led the witch tribe and the three great witches to retreat to the underworld. Although the underworld was supervised by Bixia Yuanjun and Minghe Laozu, the Six Paths of Reincarnation were ultimately transformed by Hou Tu Niangniang, and it was natural for the witch tribe to enter the underworld. Even the two of them could not interfere too much, so they just turned a blind eye and pretended not to see anything.

But all of this is nothing compared to the killing of Houyi.

Buzhou Mountain, Pangu Hall.

"Those damn flat-haired beasts!!! They really deserve to die!!!"

Gonggong roared in the hall. At his feet was a headless corpse, emitting a faint aura of the ancestor witch. It was the corpse of Houyi.

On the body, one could vaguely see numerous claw marks and burns from raging fire; it was obvious that the person had been roasted to death.

Apart from Zhurong, the Ancestral Shaman of Fire, the only two Sun Star Gods, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, could roast a Hunyuan Ancestral Shaman to death.

It turned out that Houyi was planning to return to the Houtu tribe to calm down and then absorb Pangu's essence. However, halfway through the journey, he was drawn to a valley by an inexplicable fate, where he actually met the two demon kings, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi.

Although he tried to ask for help from other ancestor witches as soon as possible, the two of them had been waiting for Houyi for a long time. As a result, before the other ancestor witches could come to rescue him, Houyi was burned to death by the two of them. In the end, the twelve ancestor witches only got back a corpse, and their head was taken away by them.

Houyi was the person they had chosen to succeed Hou Tu, but he was tortured to death. Naturally, many ancient witches were extremely angry.

Zhu Jiuyin looked at the corpse for a long time, then suddenly shouted: "Immediately gather all the Wu tribe troops and go to the Heavenly Palace to kill the gods!"

"Tu Tian!"

“Tu Tian!!”

"Tu Tian!!!"

The shouts of the Twelve Ancestral Witches became louder and louder, and the sound spread out. Countless witches were excited after hearing the roars of the Ancestral Witches, and instead of being frightened, they also roared along with them.

“Tu Tian! Tu Tian!! Tu Tian!!!”

Although Houyi died, the Twelve Ancestral Witches were prepared for this and immediately asked Xingtian to set up the formation on behalf of Houyi. Twelve evil spirits rose up into the sky and rushed straight into the clouds, shaking the Heavenly Palace to the point of collapse. Many demon kings also knew the Witch Clan's choice.

Heavenly Court, Lingxiao Palace.

Di Jun was playing with a skull that had been burnt to white bones. Seeing the twelve evil spirits, he sneered in his heart and threw the skull to the Guanghan Palace messenger in front of him. He stood up and shouted, "All demon clan members, form a formation immediately!"
