Boom!

A Great Witch fell, causing the "Twelve Devastating Divine Slaughter Array" to instantly collapse. Li Tan, Marquis of Wind, and others suffered considerable backlash.

"Damn it!"

Xingtian was instantly furious. He did not expect the "Sorcerer Slayer Sword" to reappear in the world, nor did he expect it to transform into the Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure known as the "Emperor Sword"!

With a single swing of his axe repelling Hao Tian, he aimed to strike at Xuanyuan, but was blocked by Xuanming: "Take Li Tan and Marquis of Wind away from here!"

"Yes!"

Xingtian, although an Ancestor Witch, was still significantly weaker than Xuanming.

As such, he did not refuse Xuanming’s order and could only glare fiercely at Hao Tian, wishing to tear him into pieces.

If the Immortal Gods of the Heavenly Court did not intervene, even with the "Sorcerer Slayer Sword" and aid from the Phoenix Clan, Xuanyuan would not be a match for Li Tan and the Witch Clan.

Upon seeing this, Mile and Pharmacist quickly brandished their Magic Treasures to shield Xuanyuan.

They knew that the "Sorcerer Slayer Sword" could restrain the Witch Clan, but as Innate beings themselves, they were naturally not afraid of the so-called "Sorcerer Slayer Sword".

Xuanyuan did not act rashly either.

He looked at the "Emperor Sword" in his hand with a touch of confusion: "Is this truly the Emperor Sword, or is it the legendary Sorcerer Slayer Sword?"

As a member of the Human Race, he had naturally heard of the "Sorcerer Slayer Sword" – a dire weapon forged by the Demon Clan to fight against the Witch Clan, representing the sorrow of billions of humans.

Moreover, although his strike had broken the "Twelve Devastating Divine Slaughter Array," the Mysterious Bird and others had lost the strength to fight again at this moment.

To recklessly pursue Li Tan and the others would only lead to mutual destruction, a sight he did not wish to see.

"Using righteousness brings forth righteousness, using evil begets evil!"

Seeing the situation, "Guang Chengzi" immediately spoke: "The nature of a treasure changes with its holder. If you walk the path of the Saint, it is the Emperor Sword; if you walk the path of Killing, it is the Sorcerer Slayer Sword! There is no need to dwell on it!"

Although "Guang Chengzi" did not specify directly, Xuanyuan understood that the "Emperor Sword" was indeed the former "Sorcerer Slayer Sword".

He continuously muttered to himself: "The nature of a treasure changes with its holder. Using righteousness brings forth righteousness, using evil begets evil! As I hold it, it shall be the Emperor Sword!"

Clang!

As if sensing Xuanyuan’s belief and the warm and gentle light of Saintly Virtue emanating from him, the "Emperor Sword" suddenly let out a sound of sword clashing.

Being of pure blood of the Human Race, Xuanyuan naturally received recognition from the billions of True Spirits of the Human Race.

At this moment, an invisible fortune emerged from the "Emperor Sword," merging into Xuanyuan, elevating him to the third realm of a Daluo Golden Immortal.

His cultivation has ascended the fastest among the Three Emperors of heaven, earth, and humanity, and although he initially worried about the instability of his foundations, after comprehending the Dao of Saintly Virtue, his cultivation and the fate of the Human Race rose and fell together, erasing his anxieties.

What he had to consider was how to strengthen the Human Race and how to elevate the fate of the Human Race.

On the other hand, Li Tan and others retreated to Zhuolu Land. Although they had been defeated this time, the Great Divine Power wielders under Xuanyuan’s command were also gravely injured, incapacitating them from troubling Li Tan and his company for a while.

Mile and Pharmacist, with pained expressions, took out "Liuli Pure Water" and handed it to Li Tan and others to help them recover from their injuries.

Li Tan took it without hesitation.

He knew that the Buddhist Sect helped them so eagerly because they aimed to spread their teachings among the Human Race.

However, as he entered meditation to refine the "Liuli Pure Water," a vast Divine Thought pulled his Primordial Spirit into a space.

"Who is this impertinent being?"

Li Tan was immediately enraged and prepared to counterattack, but seeing the two figures before him, he couldn’t help but greet them reverently: "Li Tan of the Human Race pays respect to the two Saint Emperors!"

Who else could be present before him if not Heavenly Emperor Fu Xi and Earth Emperor Shennong?

"Greetings to the Heavenly Emperor!"

"Greetings to the Earth Emperor!"

At the same time, a gentle voice spoke, and Xuanyuan, just like Li Tan, was shocked, but he managed to suppress his reaction well.

"It’s you!"

"It’s you!"

Xuanyuan and Li Tan both spoke simultaneously, then looked at each other as their eyes erupted with killing intent, which they promptly reined in, considering the presence of Fu Xi and Shennong.

Li Tan was the first to speak: "May I ask the two Saint Emperors, why have you pulled us into this dream realm? Do you have any explanation for the two of us?"

After entering this place, he was indeed a bit flustered, but soon he deduced that this was a dream realm created by the Divine Power of Fu Xi.

Fu Xi looked at Li Tan and then at Xuanyuan, slowly saying: "Both of you are heroes the Primordial World has rarely seen throughout the ages. If not for your coexistence in the same era, our Human Race might have had two Saint Emperors! Alas, you two live in the same time."

"The struggle for the Emperor of Humans is something we originally did not wish to interfere with, but now, the conflict between you two has become a game of Heavenly Dao and Earth Dao, Xuan Sect and Buddhist Sect. This Emperor can no longer stand idly by!"

"How about this, Shennong Daoist and I will each relinquish a portion of our luck, combined with the Emperor of Humans’ luck, to independently create an Empyrean position as worthy as the Emperor of Humans. The two of you, together, could govern the Human Race. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Li Tan frowned and said: "The heavens cannot have two suns; how could there be two Emperors of Humans?"

"Why not?"

Fu Xi said with a laugh: "In ancient times, the Demon Clan had both an Emperor and a Monarch ruling together!"

Shennong also spoke: "The current Heavenly Court, although led by Hao Tian as the Heavenly Emperor, still has the Eternal Emperor and the Qinghua Emperor to balance Hao Tian’s power!"

"Within the Human Race, major decisions are made after discussion between Fu Xi and me, but if there is something we cannot decide, we will also ask Emperor Shennong for advice."

"So, having four or even five among the Three Emperors is quite reasonable!"

Hearing this, Li Tan’s face twitched slightly. He knew that before the Heavenly Emperor, there was Shennong, who had become the Fire Department True God of the Heavenly Court.

He doesn’t understand why one would willingly give up being the Human Emperor to become a Fire Department True God.

Xuanyuan also finds it somewhat incomprehensible.

At this moment, both were within Fu Xi’s dream realm, where all their thoughts could not be concealed from him. Fu Xi thus began to coax them, "Do you know why Su Huang would go to the Heavenly Court to become a Fire Department True God?"

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan couldn’t help frowning and said, "Could there be some hidden secrets?"

"Sigh!"

Fu Xi immediately sighed and said, "Su Huang did it for our Human Race! A powerful race is like a towering tree; aside from having an emperor who can lead them to strive upward and become strong, akin to the tree’s trunk, it also needs a root system hidden in the dark to provide support for the whole race!"

"Hao Tian was ordered by Hong Jun, the Daoist Ancestor, to re-establish the Heavenly Court. Considering that the visitors meant no good, Su Huang was concerned that they would be harmful to the Human Race, so he took the initiative to join the Heavenly Court!"

"In fact, there are quite a number of such beings, including many mainstays from the Dragon and Phoenix Clans who voluntarily joined the various powers of the Primordial World."

"True Human Emperors do not care for some empty titles, but will be the silent candle in the dark, using the faint light from their own being to illuminate the way forward for their future generations. This is also the true meaning of a Human Emperor!"

The Human Emperor is not just a symbol of status but also signifies responsibility and courage. The person who becomes the Human Emperor may seem superior on the surface, but their true significance lies in stepping forward and sacrificing everything to shield the Human Race from all disasters and suffering when necessary, giving billions from the Human Race a glimpse of hope!

Fu Xi’s words were passionate and arduous. Xuanyuan and Li Tan both listened very seriously, but Shennong’s face twitched involuntarily.

He remembered that Fu Xi had often told him how someone had failed their filial duties.

So why the sudden change in narrative?

"Achoo!"

Xuanqing, who was cultivating on Golden Turtle Island, suddenly sneezed and then said with a weird expression, "Strange? Who is bad-mouthing me?"

The premonitions of Primordial Golden Immortals are very precise; murmuring their names will create a faint response in the cosmic ether.

He quickly activated the Innate Eight Diagrams and the Dao Yi Seal for divination and without much effort, he discovered a dream realm tucked between reality and fantasy.

The Dream Dao!

Although he had not studied it in depth, he had once discussed the Dao with the Mirage Dragon of the Dragon Clan, and his Heart Demon Great Dao shared some subtle similarities with the Dream Dao.

Just like the Heart Demons are formless and hard to detect, the Dream Dao is similar; some cultivators’ Heart Demons often arise within an inconspicuous dream.

With a single thought, a Daluo ray of light flew towards that dream realm.

At this moment, after hearing Fu Xi’s words, Xuanyuan couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration, "Both Saint Emperors, I am willing to give up the position of Human Emperor. Like Su Huang, I will become the silent candle in the dark, illuminating the path forward for the Human Race!"

Hearing this, Li Tan couldn’t help but snort contemptuously, "I don’t need you to give it to me. I don’t even care about being the mere Human Emperor. You can keep the position!"

Shennong, seeing the two treating the position of Human Emperor as dirt to be cast away, couldn’t help but transmit a message to Fu Xi, "Did you overdo the persuasion?"

He had not expected that with just a few words from Fu Xi, both Xuanyuan and Li Tan were ready to give up the position of Human Emperor as if it held no appeal to them at all.

He also never imagined that the always dignified Fu Xi would turn out to be such a big deceiver!

"You, come on!"

Li Tan glared at Xuanyuan and said, "I don’t want a Human Emperor title that’s been conceded to me!"

Hearing this, Xuanyuan couldn’t help but scoff, "If you don’t want it, do I want it? Since you wish to be the Human Emperor, wouldn’t it be nice for me to willingly cede it to you?"

Seeing their attitudes, Fu Xi couldn’t help but hold his forehead and thought inwardly, "It’s over; I might have overdone it!"

He understood that both Xuanyuan and Li Tan were sincere individuals who wholeheartedly considered the well-being of the Human Race, which is why he wanted to persuade them with compassion and reason!

"Oh!"

At this time, a voice that was untimely chimed in within the dream, "Who would have thought that in the eyes of Daoist Fu Xi, I am so grand! In my opinion, for the position of Human Emperor, why bother with all this conceding? Why not just have a fair and square battle, where the winner becomes the Human Emperor and the loser takes on the role of Warlord? How about that?"

The person who spoke was Xuanqing, having arrived in the dream realm uninvited. Fu Xi did not deliberately conceal the cause and effect, allowing him, through the subtle connections of fate, to easily find his way into this dream.

The simultaneous activation of the Innate Eight Diagrams and the Dao Yi Seal did not take much effort to make clear the cause and effect of this dream realm.

At the same time, he gave Fu Xi a silent nod of approval.

At a time when the Heavenly Dao and Earth Dao vied for the Human Race’s destiny and encroached on the Human Dao, Fu Xi entered the dream directly, intending to resolve the cause and effect between Xuanyuan and Li Tan.

However, what he had not expected was that Fu Xi would use himself as an example, spinning a tale that utterly beguiled Xuanyuan and Li Tan?

He couldn’t help but doubt whether he truly was as great as Fu Xi had said.

"How did you get here?"

Fu Xi’s face turned dark; he had never imagined that by drawing Xuanyuan and Li Tan into a dream, Xuanqing, the person in the story, would turn up uninvited?

Seeing this, Shennong couldn’t help but laugh and said, "I think what Su Huang said makes sense! You two, without relying on external forces, have a duel. The winner becomes the Human Emperor and the loser becomes the Warlord. How about that?"

"Good!"

Li Tan’s face showed approval.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan also felt a surge of pride, "Xuanyuan has never been inferior to anyone in his life! I want to see what you’re capable of!"

He had just made a breakthrough to the third realm of Daluo and was brimming with pride. He believed that his current strength would definitely not lose to Li Tan.

However, this was within a dream realm, where both of them could not fight with their full strength, especially Li Tan, who in the dream, was unable to utilize the advantages of his physical body.

Therefore, Xuanyuan immediately proposed, "Let’s decide the outcome on top of the highest mountain north of Zhuolu in three days; the victor shall be the Human Emperor, and the loser shall be the Warlord. How about that?"

"I’m not afraid of you!"

Li Tan snorted coldly, his body surging with fighting spirit and contempt for all else. Then with a thought, he and Xuanyuan exited the dream realm one after the other.

Leaving only Fu Xi, Shennong, and Xuanqing in Fu Xi’s dream, looking at each other in confusion.

In the end, it was Xuanqing who broke the silence, "Fellow Daoists, shall we go and watch the battle?"
