Chapter 994: 728 Imperial Token of Humanity

The great war between the witches and demons shattered the vast Chaos World into fragments, frightening not only the great divine transcendents of the Chaos World but also the Heavenly Dao itself.

Therefore, under the covert intervention of the Heavenly Dao, such confrontations between great divine transcendents became rare in the world after the Great Ancient.

Following Ancient Times, the chaotic battles among the five saints divided the Chaos World into the Three Realms, forcing the Taoist Ancestor Honjan, who had long avoided worldly affairs, to personally appear and impose a ban on the saints, confining them outside Heaven to the Ruined Land of Chaos.

If even the saints are treated this way, let alone the great divine transcendents, they are likely to be killed on the spot. Thus, since the Ancient Times, there have been no more bloody conflicts between great divine transcendents.

What to do if there is a conflict between the two parties? They sit down and slowly negotiate, just like discussing business.

What if they really can’t agree? No rush, ask for help instead, use your connections to invite your friends over for mediation. The side with wider connections and more powerful friends wins and gets listened to.

If the Human Race has a conflict with a great divine transcendent of the Mystic Sect, it’s definitely not going to lead to a fight, because the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors could contend with two saints, and adding the Mystic Sect great divine transcendents would equal another saint.

This would be akin to three saints battling it out, enough to shatter the Three Realms into fragments. Other great divine transcendents wouldn’t allow this to happen, nor would the saints or the Taoist Ancestors, surely someone would emerge to mediate.

If mediation fails, then the solution is even simpler. Although the great divine transcendents are the foundation of the Mystic Sect, and the Human Race is the protagonist of Heaven and Earth, compared to the Three Realms, both can be sacrificed if necessary.

If it’s for the sake of the Three Realms, stripping the Human Race of its protagonist role, or the disqualification of the Mystic Sect’s great divine transcendents isn’t unthinkable.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors won’t fight with the Mystic Sect. The lessons from the Quantitative Calamity of witches and demons and the Enshrinement Calamity are recent enough for the Heavenly Dao to remember for a lifetime.

Don’t casually push a force capable of destroying Heaven and Earth to a dead end, for they really dare to drag Heaven and Earth down with them.

What did Gonggong, one of the yet-to-fall Ancestral Witches, do when the Witch Clan was failing? He roared "Without the Witch Clan, what’s the use of Heaven and Earth?" and then rammed into Mount Buzhou, triggering a world-ending calamity.

What did Leader Tongtian of the Jiejiao Sect do when they were exterminated? He roared "I’ll just redefine earth, fire, water, and wind!" Then, four sword lights descended, breaking the pillars of Heaven and once again triggered a world-ending great calamity.

In such circumstances, who would dare to force the Human Race?

If the Human Race were truly driven to desperation, they would roar, "The Human Race coexists with Heaven and Earth!" and then leap into the Ruined Land to self-destruct. If that were the case, surely the Three Realms would cease to be, and even All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds would be affected.

With this concern, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors will not engage in battle with the great divine transcendents of the Mystic Sect. In the end, both parties will surely sit down at the negotiating table and bargain as expected, each stating their points in the discussion.

The times have indeed changed. Before, everyone fought with real swords and spears; now, they can only curse each other across the negotiating table.

"What you said makes sense, we’ve got to try, successful or not. Let’s go out now and talk with that great divine transcendent of the Mystic Sect."

"Do they really think they have the ability to confine the eight of us in Fire Cloud Cave? They just don’t want to fall out with us, that’s all."

"It’s a pity, these big shots of the Mystic Sect, really don’t know what’s good for them. To plunder the fate of the Human Race, there really is nothing they won’t stoop to."

"Indeed, there is an essential difference between great divine transcendents."

Emperor Shaohao sneered coldly, disgusted with those great divine transcendents. He would like to respect these predecessors on the path of cultivation, but what they did made them unworthy of his respect.

All for the fate of the Human Race, they threw away their dignity.

In Emperor Shaohao’s view, these great divine transcendents were the scum within their group, failures on the path of seeking the Dao, relying on their own powers to break through and instead devising ways to plunder others’ fate.

No, this is not plundering, but stealing. If they were openly seizing the fate of the Human Race, Emperor Shaohao would still respect them as men, but their actions were shameful, behind-the-scenes theft.

What defines plundering, is like what clans and the Witch and demon two clans did, setting a straightforward battle and the winner alone enjoys the fate. That is the righteous path of fate.

These great divine transcendents of the Mystic Sect, however, think about reincarnating within the Human Race, a case of displacing the nest owner. These methods are despicable and contemptible.

"Yes, how magnanimous were the great divine transcendents of the past, although they used the Human Race’s fate to validate their own paths of Dao, they left with clean sleeves, taking nothing with them when they departed. On the contrary, they left endless riches for the Human Race."

Emperor Zhuan Xu felt moved, recalling the prosperous era of the Hundred Schools contending. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, numerous great divine transcendents reincarnated into the Human Race, using it as a battlefield for a unique discussion on Tao.

During that period, the fate of the Human Race surged and fell, changing hands several times.

It cannot be denied that those great divine transcendents who reincarnated into the Human Race did so with the intention of using them, gathering the fate of the Human Race to aid their own cultivation.

But the Human Race did not resent them; on the contrary, they greatly admired them and felt that these were true great divine transcendents.

After using the fate of the Human Race to perfect their own Dao, these great divine transcendents left the Human Race without reluctance, and upon leaving, not only did they not take any Human Race fate with them, but they also left behind their validated achievements, causing the Human Race’s fate to skyrocket.

The Human Race would welcome such great divine transcendents; they couldn’t get enough and certainly wouldn’t detest them. These were truly virtuous figures, achieving win-win situations with the Human Race.

Even the saints operated with open plots to occupy the fate of the Human Race. "I pass on my teachings to the Human Race, my Tao is of great use to them, and it can not only improve the strength of the Human Race but also enhance their fate." The Human Race couldn’t refuse even if they wanted to.

The saints teaching the Human Race actually resulted in a win-win: the Human Race’s strength grew, and the saints gained the fate of the Human Race. Isn’t this a win-win?

But these great divine transcendents of the Mystic Sect are different; they are only for themselves. What does the welfare of the Human Race have to do with them?

Such great divine transcendents, not only the Human Race does not like; even many great divine transcendents who have benefited from the Human Race do not like them. It’s just that, out of longtime consideration, they refrain from taking action.

"Hmph, indeed, we should go out and give those great divine transcendents a lesson. However, I’ve just thought of something. Jiang Chen has become the Human King, but he lacks the symbol of the Human Emperor, which is not good."

Emperor Zhuan Xu suddenly spoke, mentioning Jiang Chen.

"Indeed, if he had the Human Emperor’s symbol, he wouldn’t have been so passive when facing the three cauldrons of Xuanyuan before. This is our mistake." Xuanyuan, the Human Emperor, nodded in strong agreement and said.
