Chapter 435: Taiqing and Yuanshi arrive at Zhaoge

Zhaoge.

On the plaza.

Di Xin reshaped the Human Sovereign position and reclaimed the authority of the Human Sovereign.

A passionate and stirring speech shook the hearts of the people.

It caused the commoners and the civil and military officials below to become high-spirited and excited.

Wen Zhong, watching from the rear, saw that Di Xin had not only reclaimed the Human Sovereign authority but had also gained the recognition of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, becoming a true Human Sovereign in name and reality.

He felt very gratified in his heart; he had finally not failed the trust of the late king.

At this moment, in the firmament, the wind and clouds changed.

The originally clear and blue sky was instantly shrouded by a layer of thick haze.

Rolling black clouds surged and gathered like angry beasts, pressing down so heavily that the entire city could not catch its breath.

Wen Zhong was startled and looked up.

He saw Taiqing Laojun and Yuanshi Tianzun stepping on auspicious clouds, surrounded by thousands of rays of auspicious light, slowly descending from the horizon.

Although he had long anticipated that Di Xin abolishing the low status of the Ren Sect among the human race would certainly anger Taiqing Laojun.

But when Taiqing Laojun truly appeared, Wen Zhong's expression became grave.

He knew that next, Di Xin would have to endure the Saint's wrath, and it was uncertain whether it would implicate the commoners of Zhaoge.

After his anger, Taiqing Laojun returned to his usual state.

At this time, he wore a loose plain robe, his hair was white, his expression was calm, and the whisk in his hand swayed gently; it looked casual, yet it held a majesty that seemed to awe the world.

Yuanshi Tianzun wore a magnificent Daoist robe, a lotus crown on his head, and his gaze was deep.

As soon as the two figures appeared, the overwhelming Saintly pressure hit them.

It caused the commoners in Zhaoge City to kneel and kowtow one after another, trembling with fear.

Di Xin wore his imperial robes and a crown with dangling beads.

He looked up, gazing at Taiqing Laojun and Yuanshi Tianzun in the firmament.

He had long known that abolishing the Ren Sect would offend the Saints.

Di Xin had long been prepared to deal with the arrival of Taiqing Laojun.

He held his head high, his expression resolute, and spoke slowly.

"Di Xin greets the two Saints. Could it be that the two Saints knew I was reshaping the Human Sovereign position today, ascending as Human Sovereign, and reclaiming the Human Sovereign authority, and came specifically to offer congratulations?"

Taiqing Laojun's gaze fell on Di Xin, who was standing on the plaza.

Seeing that Di Xin was currently surrounded by the aura of an Emperor and was holding the Kongtong Seal in his hand.

The anger he had managed to suppress upon arrival surged again.

"Di Xin, you have great audacity!"

"Since the birth of the human race, only by following the Heavenly Mandate could it multiply to this day. After the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, there should no longer be a Human Sovereign; this is the Heavenly Mandate. You actually dared to retrieve the Kongtong Seal without authorization, using it to reconverge the human race's fortune and reclaim the Human Sovereign authority, which is already disrupting the order of Heaven and Earth."

"The duty of the Ren Sect lies in enlightening the human race, yet you acted recklessly and abolished the Ren Sect. This act violates the Heavenly Dao and ethics, destroys the Ren Sect's enlightenment of the human race, and guides the subsequent development of the human race. You have committed a monstrous mistake; do you know your error?"

Facing Taiqing Laojun's questioning, Di Xin showed no fear, met Taiqing Laojun's gaze directly, and said loudly.

"The Saint is mistaken. The Human Sovereign is the co-lord of the human race. The Kongtong Seal was lost during the chaos of war. If there truly is a Heavenly number, then my searching for the Kongtong Seal and reshaping the Human Sovereign position—is that not also the Heavenly Mandate?"

"Our human race has been able to develop to this day entirely through its own efforts; it has little to do with the Ren Sect."

"As for abolishing the Ren Sect, it is because I learned that the world is currently facing a Great Calamity, and disciples of the Ren, Chan, and Jie Sects need to enter the calamity for the Investiture of the Gods."

"The Ren Sect enjoys the human race's fortune, yet it has joined forces with the Chan Sect to support Xiqi, wanting to overthrow the Yin Shang. As the Human Sovereign, I naturally cannot tolerate such things happening."

"I can only say that regarding the abolition of the Ren Sect, it is the Saint who was unbenevolent first, and only then was I unrighteous."

Taiqing Laojun's gaze was gloomy; he did not expect Di Xin to dare speak to him like this.

If it were not for the fact that Di Xin had already become the Human Sovereign, protected not only by the Emperor's aura but also by the entire human race's fortune, he would have definitely struck him down.

Before Taiqing Laojun could speak.

Hearing Di Xin mention the Investiture of the Gods, Yuanshi Tianzun, who was to the side, snorted coldly, a trace of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

She said in an icy tone.

"Ignorant junior, is the order of the Heavenly Dao something you can change at will?"

"The Yin Shang's fortune is exhausted. My Chan Sect's Investiture of the Gods follows the Heavenly number. Your arrogance and rebellion will only bring a catastrophic disaster to the human race."

"If you turn back now and abdicate, perhaps you can still save your life."

Upon hearing this, Di Xin laughed up at the sky, his laughter hearty, echoing over the plaza.

"Since ancient times, our human race has struggled to survive in this world, experiencing countless hardships to achieve today's glory and become the protagonist of this world. How could we be threatened by others?"

"On the contrary, you Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect are afflicted by the killing tribulation. In order to eliminate the killing tribulation upon yourselves, you hold the Investiture of the Gods in the human realm, vainly attempting to interfere in the internal affairs of my Human Race and control the destiny of my Human Race. How could my Human Race ever allow itself to be manipulated by others!"

Di Xin's words were passionate, his eyes incomparably firm.

The commoners below, who were originally kowtowing and trembling, felt a strange courage ignite in their hearts after hearing Di Xin's words.

They clenched their fists, their eyes flashing with fiery light, and shouted in unison: "The King is mighty! Our human race is self-improving and unyielding; how could we be manipulated by others!"

"Our human race is self-improving and unyielding; how could we be manipulated by others!"

The sound was vast and mighty, echoing throughout the world.

Eventually, everyone was infected by this scene and joined in one after another.

Seeing this, Yuanshi Tianzun's face turned extremely gloomy.

"Di Xin, you are playing with fire. If you insist on this, the human race will surely suffer a great disaster!" ===== CHAPTER 436 =====
