Chapter 373: Five Emperors Unite!

The dragon's roar shook the eight wastes and six unions, echoing through past, present, and future.

Like holy fire blazing, disregarding time and space, burning in the heart of every sentient being.

This primordial Dragon Ancestor's howl is the same; the divine sound pierces the ears, entering the minds of all beings, opening a universal broadcast.

At this moment, countless knowledgeable divinities were first astonished, then sighed.

"Go all out!"

"The Dragon Clan really goes all out!"

"Even the Great Luo Venerable personally steps onto the stage to act……"

"Is it that their will to support the Human Race is firm enough?"

"Or is it that the Human Race gives them too much money?"

Exactly as they felt.

The Dragon Clan is now full of sincerity.

Behind that dragon's roar is a Great Luo personally descending——and not an ordinary Great Luo at that!

He lets loose a mighty howl, reaching everywhere, making the Human Race play bit parts, fabricating auspicious omens……no, it is "Heaven" sending auspicious omens!

Great Luo is Heaven.

No problem.

At this moment, all eyes are upon it.

From the deep, ancient East Sea, a brilliant golden light rises, soaring straight up, piercing the star sea.

The golden light is gorgeous yet not blinding, manifesting auspicious clouds, vast and mighty, beginning to sweep the heavens, covering the Honghuang earth's myriad ages of mountains and rivers.

This is an incomparably magnificent and grand scene.

Covering the vast mountains and rivers, the golden light flashes across the world……These special effects are eye‑catching, also showing the effort the Dragon Clan has put in.

The auspicious clouds surge mighty; they not only serve as a joyful omen backdrop, but also function as a live broadcast and projection screen.

Any being, as long as they slightly raise their head and gaze at the auspicious clouds……naturally, an image appears in their vision——exactly the scene of the Human Race assembly at Mount Buzhou!

"Look well, this is the Dragon Clan Mirage Dragon Division's great divine ability……a mirage."

On Kunlun Mountain, the Numinous Treasure Heavenly Venerable leisurely spoke, imparting doctrine to the disciples below: "Skilled in light‑shadow transformation, intertwining illusion and reality……Those of you who wish to advance in the art of formations may one day exchange much with this Dragon Clan, absorbing its strengths into your formations, thereby gaining an extra third of power."

"Yes, Master!" The disciples first nodded respectfully, then someone looked doubtful and hesitantly asked, "But Master……"

"The Human Race's leader is actually like this?"

"Divine rosy colors wrap the body, seven‑colored flowing light clings……When speaking, each word and sentence condenses, turning into golden lotuses, divine springs, scattering in all directions……"

"Sometimes accompanied by immortal divine phantoms, blowing the dharma conch, beating the dharma drum, scattering endless flower petals……"

"Countless divine birds and auspicious beasts kneel respectfully on the ground, constantly shaking heads and swaying, then receiving the golden lotuses, accepting the divine springs, their cultivation advancing leaps and bounds……"

That disciple had many doubts.

The Numinous Treasure Heavenly Venerable listened, and finally fell silent.

He stared deeply at that image, watching the Dragon Clan's "live broadcast", and only after a long while sighed.

"Good child, don't dig too deep."

"This is a kind of evil art."

"It's all edited in."

"They're all special effects."

"Just think about it and you'll know."

"Words turn into golden lotuses, into divine springs—obtaining them benefits cultivation……Setting aside the good, isn't that disgusting?"

The Numinous Treasure Heavenly Venerable sighed, "Collecting people's saliva and turning it into cultivation resources."

"The Dragon Clan has a hobby of selling dragon saliva grass, even pondering a price for dragon urine, various promotions claim dragon urine cures all illnesses, falling into the mundane it can enlighten lingzhi, cultivators who obtain it can live forever……"

"But good child, remember this."

"Great Luo beings outside the Dragon Clan are not of the same ilk."

"Understand?"

The Numinous Treasure Heavenly Venerable said gently.

"I understand, I understand, I understand!" The disciple nodded repeatedly, putting down the small porcelain bowl he had been fumbling with.

……

The dragon's roar shocks the world.

Auspicious clouds fill the sky.

Everything is so wonderful.

However, Suiren at this moment feels a bit vexed, slightly regretting having contracted this matter to the Dragon Clan.

Too extravagant!

Those special effects are over the top!

"'Well, no matter how, it's still much stronger than turning magic into a horse……worth the price.'"

Suiren consoled himself, "'Moreover, such extravagant, deceiving special effects unexpectedly win the love of the vast masses……After all, they feel this matches their conception of how mighty beings speak.'"

"'But……why do I feel a bit embarrassed?'"

"'Alas!'"

Suiren felt melancholy, slightly raised his head, watching a strand of brilliant flowing light constantly shuttling through the auspicious clouds within Mount Buzhou's range, posing as an "auspicious omen", a "portent".

This is a Great Luo Divine Dragon.

After a while, it took the shape of an "S".

After another while, it took the shape of a "B".

It glowed all over, very eye‑catching.

Of course.

The Dragon Clan still had a strong sense of professional duty.

In the initial talks between Yunxiao and Gonggong, the requirement was to stand out without stealing the protagonist's spotlight… and now it's been done just right.

Even if that pose was made even more flirtatious.

The focus of the shot still belonged to Suiren, who was radiating brilliance—the most handsome in the Honghuang live broadcast.

However…

The spokesperson for the Dragon Clan said.

They were not only on good terms with Suiren.

They also had a little dealings with Nüwa.

When the spotlight gave enough to Suiren, the true dragon then stretched straight through the heavens, turned into a ladder to heaven, elongated, its huge dragon head probing into the Heavenly Court.

When Donghuang brought up the Chaos Bell, just before giving himself a late‑night snack, the ever‑changing, iridescent Nüwa Palace stirred, shooting out immortal light that fell upon the dragon's body.

Afterward, the dragon's head rapidly retracted, avoiding disaster.

——This scene was witnessed by the world.

"What… is this for?"

Many Great Luo were astonished and doubtful.

But soon they had an answer.

The true dragon flipped its body, charged downward, and let out a loud shout.

"The holy fire blazes, the Way of humanity flourishes!"

"Nüwa passes the Divine Chart, grants command to the sage, upholds the public will, and from ancient times the chant begins!"

The true dragon cried out, the immortal light on its body shining without equal, releasing endless radiance that dazzled people so they couldn't open their eyes.

What is painted on it?

What is written on it?

No one could know.

All beings could only know that——

Nüwa was very pleased that humanity could communicate with the primordial god who created heaven and earth, and by this ignite the holy fire, lighting the path ahead for humanity, which made her very happy.

As a reward, she granted a supreme Divine Chart, hoping that among humanity a heaven‑mandated sage would appear, receive the chart, bear her great will, uphold the public will, devote themselves to the cause of humanity and the human race's great undertaking, becoming an eternal legend.

As for who is Nüwa's "heaven‑mandated sage worker"?

All beings awaited with curiosity.

The Great Luo Divine Saints each had an exceedingly strange expression… they looked at Suiren's slightly dark face, and no one dared to speak up and draw fire.

The true dragon stretched across humanity's territory, while the Divine Chart's light pulsed regularly.

Until a certain moment.

The Divine Chart rose, all its light converging into a single beam that shone upon a certain person.

That person became the brightest guy in the entire Honghuang at that moment.

The true dragon playing a bit part showed surprise, shock, joy, reverence and more on its dragon face, then shouted hoarsely.

"The sage has appeared!"

"Humanity has a king!"

"Paoxi will rise… Paoxi will rise!"

After the shouting ended, the true dragon immediately dove down, lay prone on the ground, looking up at the cross‑legged odd man on the stone platform, only his back visible to all beings.

"Please, sage Paoxi, for the sake of humanity's great righteousness, accept this mandate!"

A long silence.

Then came a long, deep sigh.

"Good."

From beginning to end, Paoxi never turned or looked back, only his somewhat weathered, sorrowful back visible to all beings.

……

"Our humanity shall rise!"

Suiren stood on the altar, shouting with extreme joy.

Of course, deep down he was adding a bold stroke to the traitor Dragon Clan, secretly cursing the two‑faced opportunist who dared to twist Party A's father's opinion, run to flatter Party A's mother, and mess up the script.

"Off by a hundred and eight thousand miles!"

"You're trying to fool me?!"

"Even though you've got the sound effects and the lighting."

"They also shouted 'Paoxi will rise!'"

"But you added extra scenes on your own, changing the whole flavor!"

"The Divine Dragon bears the chart, Paoxi will rise… but was it granted by Nüwa?"

"Or is it praise for the reward, that humanity's struggles so far have earned Pangu's favor… like an old mother giving a red envelope to a high‑achieving child at New Year?"

"Bastard!"

After Suiren gave it serious thought, his face grew even darker.

After working out this logic, Paoxi instantly ended up far below Nüwa… although he had expected it, could it really happen?

Still infuriating!

"Dragon Clan, I've taken note of it."

And the one who plotted this… Nüwa, you're so cheeky, I've remembered you too.

Let you be proud for a while.

What about after?

There'll be good fruit for you to eat.

Especially… Pipi Nüwa…

Sui Ren's gaze was deep and profound.

Had it not been in front of people, needing to restrain himself… he would have already snorted coldly.

You'll regret it in the future… because you simply don't know.

With this lighting of the holy fire, the Five Directional Heavenly Emperors… have all found a chance to enter!

The Five Emperors acting together, all got their tickets!

I'm really looking forward to seeing your dumbfounded look in the future…

Sui Ren's gaze turned, sweeping over heaven and earth.

Only he knew.

Today's small step in lighting the holy fire is nevertheless a great leap for humanity.

The Five Directional Heavenly Emperors… have finally waited for this opportunity!

They have placed the crucial piece.

In the ancestral land of humanity, Fuxi and the others turned their gaze, black-faced, picking up the divine chart.

On Phoenix Perch Mountain, the Phoenix Elder who was clamoring for a price increase chatted happily with the mysterious visitor.

Under everyone's nose, Houtu's chief loyal minister—Fengxi—was solemnly and reverently holding a torch, very reliable.

In the long river of humanity's fate, an inexplicable throbbing stirred—beginning at the moment humanity grasped the final interpretive authority over the civilized holy fire.

And also.

In the vast expanse of heaven and earth, a divine spirit traversed the land, carelessly crossing immense mountains and rivers… He paused at the Eastern Sea, his gaze toward the Dragon Ancestor's temple; he also paused at Kunlun, looking toward the Jade Pool Holy Palace… A smile curled his lips, yet it held no warmth, only killing intent.

Qing Emperor, Bai Emperor, Yan Emperor, Huang Emperor, Hei Emperor.

A great surprise gestated through the ages.

Who will laugh last?

It just depends on each one's abilities.

…

Pangu Ancestral God, boundless and towering!

Nüwa Lady, peerless in holy virtue!

Sui Ren coldly glanced at the true dragon soaring on auspicious clouds, continuing as a backdrop, silently snorting, and went on with his own speech.

He wanted to make a summary, a summary of the holy fire's lighting.

Taking advantage of the checkpoint where Pangu and Nüwa, the two great gods, appeared one after another, he gave humanity a bit more prestige.

Why would this human alliance draw Pangu's gaze? What principle does this illustrate?

Why does Lady Nüwa receive such high praise? This divine creator of all things, why does she favor humanity?

Using the dragon clan's "live broadcast," Sui Ren carried out his final display of light and heat.

After all, not long after today ends, he'll have to step down… letting Fuxi take over.

Why, despite many clans holding heavenly rites, not a few, has Pangu never deigned to look?

And I—Sui Ren, an ordinary member of humanity—have actually made the ancestral god's will merge with me?

Perhaps many beings will think—our humanity took a backdoor.

But now I will tell everyone—I! Sui Ren! —did not cheat!

Sui Ren spoke righteously, his words just and proper, full of upright vigor.

Why does our humanity earn Pangu's acknowledgment? A divine sign?

It is because our humanity, through the ages, has striven and toiled, all to fulfill Pangu Ancestral God's great vow, contributing in our own way to the human way, hoping for its great prosperity!

It is precisely because of this.

It is only thus that today's legendary scene occurred—receiving the Great God Pangu's resonance, personally igniting a cluster of holy fire, helping us move forward in darkness and blaze a bright path!

Sui Ren spoke with firm conviction.

Our method, our path, can be replicated!

As long as everyone can set aside prejudices and study earnestly, they too can resonate with Pangu Ancestral God's will and reenact today's scene!

Likewise.

That is precisely why.

Our humanity has displayed an excellent, splendid side, letting the human way see hope… Only one as holy and peerless as Lady Nüwa would act thus, bestowing the divine chart, granting the finest talents of the next generation!

Let him step forward, lead humanity, and continue toward a brighter future!

Sui Ren temporarily cast aside his limits, fervently praising and flattering Nüwa.

Lady, she is the most just, the most broadly loving, never showing favoritism.

She will not abandon the weakest clans, nor stint in acknowledging the achievements of excellent clans… She has placed her hope, hoping to see a better path in humanity, thereby replicating it and leading more clans toward a beautiful future.

And we humanity will surely not betray her hope; we will strive to repay, perform better, and ultimately fulfill Pangu's great vow…

Sui Ren expounded on humanity's pursuit, that great spirit.

This is the 'Humanity Dream'!

Self-improvement without cease, virtue that bears all things, loving all beings!

Today.

We humans take the lead, holding a grand sports meet.

This is both a cultivation exchange activity.

Likewise, it is also the resonance and pursuit of this dream, as all aspiring individuals come together to write and forge a glorious future!

Now!

Friends and guests below the stage!

Please raise your hands together, clench your fists, tell the world, and also tell yourselves!

We will surely strive lifelong and never cease to strive to fulfill Pangu's great aspiration!

Sui Ren let out a great shout, bringing forth the most fervent rhythm.
