Chapter 430 - 430 155 The Human Emperor Listens by the Divine Minister's Side

430: Chapter 155 The Human Emperor Listens by the Divine Minister’s Side 430: Chapter 155 The Human Emperor Listens by the Divine Minister’s Side Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor found it difficult to forget that chilly spring noontime in a certain place of the Southern Continent.

In a slowly-sloping valley covered with light green, three streaks of light continuously collided in mid-air before crashing together into a river, with sounds of ‘whoo-hoo’ and ‘yowling’, as the ruckus carried on below the surface.

Back then, his realm was not very high, and he didn’t have much strength to play rough, often finding himself on the losing end.

After their commotion had passed, the three young men of the Human Race removed their wet hemp garments and sat on the grassy riverbank, their feet facing each other, forming a human character.

‘Mu, what do you want to do in the future?’

‘Cultivate demonic powers, join the Flame Heaven Army!

The Hundred Clans are giving us trouble every day, saying they’ll gang up against us, so let them witness the might of the Human Race’s demonic powers!

We fought for the Heavenly Court ourselves!’

‘And you, Feng?

You are the grandson of His Majesty Fuxi.’

‘All that my grandfather gave me was the name “Feng.” I want to learn the Innate Eight Trigrams from my father, to see if I can deduce my own.

I also want to learn the ways of governing a nation.

My father often admonished that the Human Race cannot flourish through force alone.’

‘What about you, Ji?’

‘Me?

I want to be the husband to a hundred women!’

‘Ji, can’t you think about something serious?

Father says you’re a heaven-sent prodigy!’

‘Don’t be mad, Feng.

Youxiong Nation is too small.

If I can marry more women, I can have a lot of children, which will lead to the prosperity of my nation.

Reproduction is our greatest advantage as the Human Race!’

‘Ji, what you say does make some sense.’

‘Mu, don’t let him lead you astray!

Reproduction is based on the harmony of yin and yang!

Yin and Yang should be balanced!’

‘Feng, don’t you want to marry?’

‘I…

I’m not like you guys.’

‘Feng is blushing!

Haha!’

The echoed laughter faded from the river valley, replaced by a sky filled with flames.

Due to the soft governance of Shennong, the Anti-Heaven Alliance maintained a superficial harmony.

With Shennong in prolonged seclusion due to hidden injuries, ancient nations were already waging endless wars against each other, and battles flared up among nations, clans, and tribes at any moment.

That great fire nearly severed the roots of Youxiong Nation.

The young Ji Xuanyuan could only rely on the broken sword in his hand to protect his mother and sister, watching ghostly riders on serpents attack from the flames, regretting that he had not cultivated the magic power that promised quick mastery.

A beam of intense light struck down, and the serpent rider before him was suddenly bisected by the brightness, with blood spurting out to both sides, as ripples appeared on the ground cloaked by the Formation.

That was a halberd-looking long knife; he recognized the strange weapon at first glance.

He looked up to see streaks of light falling from the sky, and figures surrounded by dark aura descending within them.

The attacking serpent riders hastily fled into the sky.

The burly young general, clad in battle armor and furs, descended sharply, grabbed the short halberd, and turned his head to look at the young Ji Xuanyuan.

‘Emperor’s General Li Mu is here!

By the order of the Flame Emperor, I have come to mediate…

Are your injuries severe?’

Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor remembered very clearly that in that moment, he felt an unprecedented sense of relief, and he sat down on the ground, the broken sword in his hand shattering with a bang.

After that,

Although Youxiong Nation was just a small territory, it rose rapidly after the great disaster, and from Shaodian to Xuanyuan, it had the momentum to swallow the whole world.

His chariot carried the men of Youxiong Nation toward the nations of the Hundred Clans, seeking revenge, reclaiming people, re-educating, and fighting anew.

Then one day, when his power had grown great, he heard that Li Mu had been demoted to shepherd on the North Sea shore.

So, he drove his heavenly steed, filled his chariot with fine wine, traveled tens of thousands of miles, and welcomed Li Mu as the Prime Minister of Youxiong.

From then on, scene after scene swept past:

In the camp;

On the battlefield;

By the bonfire;

During joyous feasts;

On the sleepless nights fretting over war.

Until one day, with Shennong’s retirement, the burden of ruling the world and the major troubles of the Hundred Clans both fell on his shoulders.

When he looked back, Li Mu, Fenghou, and many other friends had started families of their own; they had taken on the roles of fathers, clan leaders, and husbands.

The farewell was in the Desperate Hunting Grounds, in a battle to the death.

Countless generals and soldiers fell, and he bade farewell to countless friends…

…

In Dong’an City.

Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor sighed with closed eyes.

This Human Emperor, with a flash of his figure, quietly appeared above Dong’an City, casting aside his disguise to reveal his original appearance, and looked down at the figure of Ningning Mu.

Ningning Mu was walking with her master Qingxu.

They followed behind Li Dazhi and two Heavenly Immortal experts of Wanyun Sect, heading together to the high tower of the Wanyun Sect in the city center.

Fenghou and Tianli rose into the air, restored their appearances, and stood behind Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor.

“Feng,” Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor asked solemnly, “If Li Mu’s daughter was indeed ordained by Fuxi, why did no one continue the search for her?”

“Your Majesty!”

Fenghou bowed and said:

“At that critical juncture, our Human Race spread over a hundred sparks of hope, and Li Mu’s daughter was one of them.

“The rest of the sparks eventually returned on their own, yet a dozen were extinguished in the war.

I looked through the inscriptions at that time, and Li Mu’s daughter was accounted among those lost to the war flames.

“This oversight is my failure in supervision, causing the descendant of a divine general to wander outside, suffering many hardships!

“Please punish me, Your Majesty.”

“Alas,” Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor sighed, “Li Mu was most fond of his little daughter in those days.

She maintained the spark for our Human Race until now, which truly leaves me feeling indebted.”

The elder Tianli muttered to himself: ‘Us?

This self-reference…

His Majesty has started to show concern, indicating that he truly values this matter greatly.’

Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor continued:

“Upon observing her soul, Li Mu’s daughter indeed inhabits this woman, but this woman is not simply Li Mu’s daughter.

“She has given birth to a new soul, and merged perfectly with the old one, as if living a second life.”
