Chapter 138: Chapter 138 [Battle Without Destruction, Human Race Infighting] (Please Subscribe)

As the Six Paths of Reincarnation were established, the rising trend of the Human Race became increasingly evident, and not a few Innate Deities split a part of their Soul Splitting to reincarnate among the humans.

Hu Ling, the eighteenth descendant of Fu Xi, and Zhu Xiang, the twenty-first descendant, were both reincarnations of Soul Splitting from Innate Deities.

And Houtu, who controls the Six Paths of Reincarnation, seeing this situation, was also moved to act, directly allowing Ju Mang from the Twelve Ancestor Witches to reincarnate within the Human Race as the twenty-second descendant of Fu Xi, and briefly ascended to the position of the overlord of the Human Clan.

Yes!

Ju Mang, as the Ancestor Witch of Wood, although he self-destructed his Physical Body during the great war between Witches and Demons, he, who was originally full of vitality, still had a trace of life left.

Afterward, he was found by Houtu and has been nourished all along by the Reincarnation True Intent and Pangu Blood Pool.

Xuanqing intended to stop him, but thinking of the time when the Demon Clan slaughtered the Human Race and how the Witch Clan had sheltered a portion of them, he turned a blind eye.

After all, rules were set by Fu Xi: if a descendant of the Fu Xi clan takes the position of overlord of the Human Clan, they must abdicate from that position after breaking through to the Taiyi Realm.

Supervised by several elderly ancestors of the Human Race.

Ju Mang reincarnated and re-cultivated, relying on the luck of the Human Race, did not recover the Cultivation of his heyday, but fortuitously gave birth to a complete Primordial Spirit.

Unlike other overlords of the Human Race, he did not enter the Fire Cloud Cave, but returned to the Witch Clan, hoping to eliminate the accumulated Karma from the Witch Clan.

And these Innate Deities, practicing with the luck of the Human Race, are also essentially integrating their own luck with the Human Race, a somewhat win-win situation.

This move also inspired many Innate Deities to emulate; the Demon-Banishing Deity, Yi He, was one of them, directly reincarnating as Fu Xi’s thirty-fourth descendant.

As long as the current overlord of the Human Race, He Gui, breaks through to Taiyi and enters the Fire Cloud Cave for cultivation, according to past precedent, he will become the new overlord of the Human Race.

However, this action also caused some discontent among others like those of Ziyi Clan: "These Innate Deities reincarnate one after another within the Human Race, practicing with the help of the Human Race’s luck, but in the long run, can the future Human Race still be considered pure?"

If they were like Fu Xi, completely abandoning their previous identities and joining the Human Race, there would be no complaints, but clearly, they only aimed to take advantage of the fortune of the Human Race.

The Witch Clan had previously sheltered the Human Race, hence they permitted Ju Mang to take away part of the fortune of the Human Race, but Yi He did not shelter the Human Race before!

Thinking of this, members of the Ziyi Clan immediately went to the Fire Cloud Cave to discuss with Fu Xi... to see if they could prevent Yi He from becoming the next overlord of the Human Race during the selection, or to persuade him to give up his original identity!

"Agreed!"

Fu Xi immediately agreed.

These Innate Deities, hearing of the benefits received by the Human Race, all shamelessly reincarnated among them, yet refused to give up their past identities to merge with the Human Race, continuous indulgence would simply mean the Human Race sustaining them with their own fortune!

This trend must not continue!

It is possible to reincarnate within the Human Race and even become the overlord, but one must completely abandon their previous identity.

Soon, Ziyi Clan conveyed Fu Xi’s intentions to Yi He, presenting him with a choice between fully integrating into the Human Race and giving up the position of overlord.

"This..."

Yi He’s face turned ashen, struggling to decide, for the fortune of the Human Race did benefit cultivation significantly, yet he was reluctant to give up the status of an Innate Sacred.

"I need to consider it!"

After some thought, Yi He did not directly respond but planned to delay the decision.

In the meantime, Ziyi Clan also disclosed Yi He’s status as an Innate Sacred who reincarnated, to others within the Human Race, and many expressed dissatisfaction regarding Yi He’s identity.

Among them was the reincarnation of Ao Hong, the leader of the Shuitu Clan, who saw this as an excellent opportunity, immediately rallying a portion of the discontent Human Clan Cultivators to campaign against Yi He, seizing the chance to ascend to the position of overlord of the Human Race themselves.

"Overlord of the Human Race, do you dare to accept the challenge?"

Ao Hong used seductive rhetoric, constantly stirring up some of the more radical members of the Human Race: "I admit, the Heavenly Emperor Fu Xi indeed made great contributions to the Human Race, but what merits do his descendants and bloodline possess? Successively becoming the overlord of the Human Race for thirty-three terms, and now even an Innate Sacred is seizing the opportunity to steal our Human Race fortune!"

"We shall never allow this!"

"Kill He Gui, execute Yi He, the rights of the Human Race cannot continue to be controlled by the descendants of Fu Xi, nor can we allow the Innate Sages to keep stealing our fortune!"

With Saints concealing the truth, Ziyi Clan members and others were naturally unaware of Ao Hong’s true heritage; some who held grievances against He Gui were even more impassioned, becoming staunch followers of Ao Hong.

The Human Race was suddenly plunged into internal strife.

Led by Ao Hong, certain factions within the Human Race no longer recognized He Gui as the overlord and furthermore declared they would execute Yi He, the Innate Sacred.

"This..."

Ziyi Clan was thrown into confusion and quickly sought advice from Fu Xi, who upon hearing the matter, could not help but laugh: "Let them resolve it themselves! We can’t always make decisions for the future generations of the Human Race!"

In his view, as long as the Human Race survived, some internal conflict was beneficial, which could prompt various ideas within the Human Race to constantly clash and seek consensus while differing, guiding the Human Race towards a better future.

Whether it was He Gui, Yi He, or this suddenly emerging Shuitu Clan member, whoever lasted till the end would lead the Human Race forward!

"Kill!"

Many Human Race tribes waged war against each other; the Human Race fell into turmoil, but several of the elderly Human Race ancestors and the Heavenly Emperor Fu Xi refrained from any intervention.

Fight without destruction!

This was the outcome they wished to see!

Although the Human Race, following Fu Xi, went through thirty-three successive overlords, none brought new changes to the Human Race.

History seemed to stagnate, the fortune of the Human Race like stagnant water, occasionally stirring with ripples.

"Has this day finally arrived?"

Xuanqing, who was comprehending the Great Dao in the Ancient Starry Sky, naturally noticed the subdued state of the Human Race, not expecting that after Fu Xi achieved the Dao for several cycles, the Earth Emperor Shennong had not shown any signs of emerging.

Instead, the descendants of Fu Xi, because they had been occupying the position of overlord of the Human Race for so long, had attracted dissatisfaction and even incited rebellion among thousands of Human Race tribes.

Without forward-thinking, imminent worries are bound to arise.

Similarly, if the Human Race lost external enemies, internal strife was inevitable, and without powerful individuals to suppress it, such events were destined to happen.

He was not surprised at all.

However, after a period of deep contemplation, he decided to pay a visit to the Human Race. First was to speculate about the future trends of the Heavenly Dao, and second was to refine his own Dao Fruit with the help of the Power of the Mortal World.

Tongtian Sect Master merged with Jian Mu, transforming from an Innate Sacred being into one that followed the Chaos. His Dao Flower also transformed, breaking through the constraints of the Heavenly Dao, evolving into a ten-petaled Dao Flower.

There, he saw a glimmer of hope.

Because, after comprehending various Great Daos and absorbing vast amounts of "Three Lights Divine Water" and "Nine Heavens Breath Soil" essence, he also sensed an opportunity for the transformation of his Dao Flower.

He walked aimlessly within the Human Clan Tribe, observing their every move, yet not a single Human could perceive his aura or figure.

At this moment, his physical body merged with the void, his Primordial Spirit was in a state that was both illusory and real, as if integrated with heaven and earth. Any cultivator below the level of Daluo Golden Immortal, without the vision surpassing the Three Realms and Five Elements, simply could not see his existence.

With the "Refining Essence to Qi" technique passed down by Fu Xi, there were more cultivators among the Human Race. Although their realms were not high, they still possessed some deterrent power.

While Fu Xi was in power, various officials were appointed, most of whom were cultivators, intended to maintain the most basic order between the tribes.

Although he had stepped down from the position of the sovereign of the Human Race several epochs ago, these systems had been well continued by the subsequent Human sovereigns.

Suddenly, Xuanqing felt someone tugging at his Daoist robe, which was somewhat unbelievable to him because the person tugging on his robe was just a child.

In his current state, cultivators below the level of Daluo should not be able to see him.

The child had clear eyes and within his pupils, there seemed to be the flow of the Innate Yi Dao. He was obviously of the Human Race, yet on the back of his hand faintly emerged a few Innate Dragon Scales.

"Are you an Immortal or a ghost?"

The child seemed a little fearless, while looking at Xuanqing, he pointed at the crowd and asked, "Why can none of them see you?"

"I am naturally an Immortal!"

Xuanqing detected the abnormality in the child and answered his question with a smile.

If he had not seen wrongly, this child carried the rich divine blood of Fu Xi and had undergone a sort of regressive genetic phenomenon due to some heaven-defying chance.

"What’s your name?"

Xuanqing took the initiative to ask, gently prompting: "Have you experienced any strange events recently?"

"My name is Fu Min!"

A flash of light appeared in the child’s eyes, revealing an eager expression: "Since you are an Immortal, can you teach me powerful Divine Skills and spells?"

Upon hearing this, Xuanqing couldn’t help but smile: "What Divine Powers do you wish to learn? Flying through the skies, burrowing the earth? Call the Wind and Summon the Rain? Or perhaps offensive and defensive techniques that can protect and preserve oneself?"

Fu Min shook his head earnestly and said, "I want to learn the art of bringing the dead to life!"

"Bringing the dead to life?"

Xuanqing froze for a moment, then shook his head and said, "When a person dies, it is like extinguishing a lamp, reincarnation reignites it. Although I possess methods to bring the dead back to life, I cannot teach you, as that would defy the order of heaven and earth!"

Just now, he had used the Innate Eight Diagrams to deduce that Fu Min’s parents had fallen prey to Demon Beasts during a recent operation of the Human Race to exterminate Demon Beasts.

"And moreover, your parents have fallen days ago; they have already reincarnated!"

Xuanqing continued to speak.

Upon learning Fu Min’s name, he had his Ghost Dao Avatar help him investigate, and discovered that the other’s parents had already reincarnated long ago!

Fearing that Fu Min would not believe him, he revealed his identity: "I am Xuanqing, disciple of the Saint Tongtian. One of my avatars is in charge of governing the Netherworld as the Tai Mountain Lord, with the authority over life and death! Just now, I have already deduced that your parents have been reincarnated as infants three days after their fall."

Saying so, he used the Reincarnation Dao to project an image of Fu Min’s parents before his eyes.

"How could this be?"

Fu Min found it hard to accept.

He had finally found an Immortal capable of reviving the dead, only to be told that his parents had already been reincarnated months ago!

Seeing this, Xuanqing also sighed and said, "Your parents, though possessing some cultivation, were not deep in their practice and failed to cultivate Heavenly Immortal Dao Fruit. After reincarnating, they are unable to recover their memories of their past lives."

"Accept the change and move on!"

A flash of unwillingness crossed Fu Min’s eyes as he pleaded with Xuanqing: "Immortal, is there really no other way, such as reversing time and space, going back to the past, and changing history?"

"There is!"

Xuanqing sighed softly: "Saints might be able to achieve that step, but reversing time and space would defy the rules of the Heavenly Dao. Heaven would not permit Saints to do such a thing!"

"Unless..."

"You can transcend the Heavenly Dao!"

The ignorant are fearless. Fu Min, despite awakening some abilities comparable to those of a Daluo Golden Immortal due to some reasons, remained a child and lacked reverence for life and death, heaven and earth.

This is a good thing!

As well as a bad thing!

Mortals fear the outcome, while Immortal Gods fear the cause. The higher one’s cultivation reaches, the more awe they hold for heaven and earth. However, only with a resolute Dao heart can one travel further on the path of cultivation.

And Xuanqing took a liking to the talented youth, proposing to Fu Min: "Tell me how you are able to see me, and I will impart to you the Upper Pure Immortal Technique, how about that?"

"In this world, up to now, no one dares to reverse time and space."

"But that may not be the case in the future!"

"One day, if you achieve a realm above that of Saints and transcend the Heavenly Dao, you can reverse time and space by yourself, using supreme methods to revive your parents!"

Nothing in the world is difficult for those who put their minds to it. Although the Primordial World of today does not allow reversing time and space, since the Time Great Dao and Space Great Dao exist, rewriting history is indeed a possibility.

"Disciple Fu Min, pays respects to the Master!"

Quickly, Fu Min made his choice, directly requesting Xuanqing to take him as his disciple.
