Chapter 378

But we need to be stronger.

Moreover, we also need to be more free.

Fengxi studied the human Dao power that was hoped for but unattainable.

"Saint, the Heavenly Dao grants authority, the gods elect… can only manage, only able to manage the educational aspect."

"But if I can succeed in smuggling here and establish a system… that would be carving out a domain and achieving self-sufficiency!"

Fengxi pondered seriously, grasping the subtleties within.

The Saint governs education, hoping to be a teacher for ten thousand generations.

But this thing…

If you encounter a Human King who doesn't reason, opening with 'Three Martial Exterminations of Buddhism', then reversing with 'Dismissing the Hundred Schools', you'll easily be maneuvered into one hundred and eight poses.

Among the Great Net wandering in Honghuang, each is shrewd, they are the top investors.

Their choices often intuitively reveal the potential of a certain industry.

Nowadays, the reason everyone fights tooth and nail for heavenly supremacy, to rule the world, is that they have carved out one kingdom, divine dynasty, civilization after another…

From the Dragon-Phoenix Great Tribulation, they fought all the way to the Lich Great Tribulation.

Precisely because the imperial model is popular and promising!

In contrast, the sectarian teachings… have not managed to spread everywhere.

Many powerful overlords, how many actually run sects?

Even if they toss around a major religion, that's often just a side job.

The subtlety here mainly lies in the disparity of ability to gather power… concentrating power is what enables great undertakings.

A master taking on disciples is essentially able to draw on the disciples' power—unless through deceitful guidance, they mutate in a dangerous direction, creating a contagion model that brings the disciples' families and clans into the pit, contributing faith, evolving into—transmission……

Human King Sovereign? The natural order cares not for your household registry!

When cultivation knowledge and resources have no generational gap, do divine dynasties and immortal kingdoms still fear they can't thrash the sects?

If evolved to the ultimate, becoming the Great Perfection Heavenly Court, ruling over all Human Dao, using the supreme laws to gather the power of all Honghuang…

"Could that rival Pangu the Great God?"

Fengxi gazed off into the distance, lost in thought.

But soon he sighed, "Alas, even if my Holy Fire path succeeds, it cannot reach that level…"

Sensing part of the ultimate power of the Human Dao, Fengxi naturally came to a realization in his heart.

Even if he, as a fire master official, achieved perfection.

But wanting to contain and use all of the Human Dao power is also wishful thinking.

"I, with Holy Fire, condense the beautiful beliefs of the myriad peoples, speaking for all hopes of the future… but the Human Dao, however, encompasses everything."

"There is good, and there is evil."

That was a single chop.

"Moreover, endless ages, hope never ceases, dreams never die."

"The goal is not eternally unchanging."

"Once the present is achieved, a new goal is proposed."

"For now, the peoples of the Human Dao merely hope to live good lives."

"By tomorrow, it might become hope for great spiritual fulfillment."

"Further on, it might become 'everyone a Great Net'…"

That was another chop.

The Human Dao craves ascent, never satisfied.

Fengxi's Holy Fire Way can only be said to barely scrape by, sufficient for the time being.

However, besides those two reasons, there is also a very practical factor.

"Unite!"

Fengxi let out a troubled sigh.

——The Lich are still in great opposition!

Relying on the Wu Clan's 'guard', pulling and tugging at the Demon Race's 'guard', Fengxi can wield this specially crafted key to open the gate of the Human Dao power treasury.

But this carries hidden dangers.

If one day the Wu Clan collapses, teammates are purged clean.

Then Fengxi will have to face the sad matter of being chased for debt.

"At that time, could I default on my debt and become a deadbeat?"

"Or simply run ashore… the debt is Yandi's, what's it got to do with me, Feng…?"

Fengxi thought very seriously.

But after he thought so deeply, he inexplicably felt a great terror.

——Such behavior likely means having to go onto the battlefield of the opening of heaven several times.

Being chopped to death by the newly appointed Pangu, then revived, chopped again, revived…

Fengxi shivered.

"If I choose this path…… I must stake everything, letting humanity succeed…"

"Well, this itself is also my responsibility."

The perfectly merged holy fire hovered above Fengxi's palm, letting him clearly perceive how vast, marvelous, and inconceivable the power of the human Dao was, surpassing everything he had seen so far in the Great Luo cultivation.

In an instant, Fengxi felt himself filled with fighting spirit.

It's really too much.

Such a great temptation led him to decide to take the Holy Fire's path to the extreme, even to reach the pinnacle and surpass perfection.

Human Dao contains good and evil; a single beautiful ideal cannot encompass everything?

Then I'll find a whetstone.

Fengxi propped his chin on one hand, 'A whetstone that can represent evil!'

Use this Holy Fire to melt and sever it, refine it, and achieve promotion and transformation!

Against liches? Warfare?

Then I'll temper my abilities, raise strategy and tactics!

He considered it, targeting each flaw one by one to make up for them.

However.

As he kept making up for them, he discovered…… there seemed to be a hurdle, as if it couldn't be crossed?

Target issue!

Wanting to linger indefinitely in the Human Dao Power Treasury, squandering at will, even to obtain more and greater support……

Then it spurs him to renew and replace, always able to give Human Dao a solution to its worries.

Moreover, he cannot mess with tactics to fool the common folk, indulging in self-isolation.

——After all, there are too many Great Luos in Honghuang, and too many clever people!

He dares to do that.

Perhaps some ancient god great sage would happily laugh, imitate his story, and replace him.

'The target issue is actually a small problem.'

'As long as the work is done properly, there is no problem that cannot be solved.'

'But……'

Fengxi felt that he had discovered a blind spot.

'I, as Wind Lord, have a term of office!'

'Even Nüwa's elder brother——Fuxi, this biggest connection, was by the Mother with 'reluctant pain' and 'righteousness overriding kinship', 'with tears' set a term of office, having a day to step down.'

'A precedent is set here, opening with the best start.'

'Later Human King Sovereigns, who could still have the qualification to surpass Fuxi the Great Sage's tenure?'

'Even if there are special circumstances.'

'In the end, one must still step down and make way for a new Human King Sovereign!'

'By then.'

'My Fire Master System…… won't it be dismantled?'

Fengxi was somewhat dumbfounded.

Looking back suddenly, he discovered that Nüwa had made a brilliant move, leaving some trace in humanity silently and unnoticed.

The Human King has a term limit!

Nüwa, she hung up her brother, framed him, then put him away……

Even the Creator's brother receives such treatment.

How could others possibly have the qualification to be the sole person for ten thousand generations?

Even more awesome.

When the time comes.

All of them, step down for me!

Eons drift by.

Years stretch vast.

Human Kings rise and fall, constantly being replaced.

Only the Human Race's Holy Mother——Lady Nüwa, can forever stand upon the Altar of Gods, governing from behind the curtains.

'Fuxi the Great Sage has become the fiercest blade, stabbed into the entire Human King system.'

'If one cannot continue in power, one cannot accumulate the greatest strength.'

'Even if one is outstanding like me.'

'I have obtained the key to the Treasure Vault's gate.'

'But in the end, one must still step aside for the worthy…… Remarkably, relying on the convenience of cultivating with reference to the Ultimate Human Dao Power during this period, one obtains the accelerated qualification to advance to Supreme Ultimate Great Luo.'

Purely from a profit perspective, this is already quite profitable.

But this person…… after all, is a little bit greedy.

Not understanding the vastness and greatness of the Ultimate Human Dao Power, Fengxi perhaps doesn't care.

But at this moment, it is inevitable to feel some reluctance.

However, in the end, Fengxi's conscience still came online…… oh no, it has always been at full value.

His loyalty to Lady Nüwa can be shown to heaven and earth.

'Forget it, forget it……'

Fengxi pities and laments himself, 'The Mother has always treated me not poorly……'

'Since she wants to subtly limit the Human King factions…… then let her have her way.'

'Who made me a loyal subject?'

He sighed sorrowfully for a while.

Finally, gritting his teeth and hardening his heart, he drew out the Treasure Vault's key——Holy Fire, causing the effect of that permission to fade, and his perception of Human Dao power slowly dissipated.

'I after all have a conscience……'

Fengxi spoke softly, his figure gradually becoming illusory, wanting to make this cut-off spacetime return to its original state.

But!

At this moment!

A figure hurried over, struggling to break through layer after layer of obstruction, trying to reach here.

At the same time, there was a loud shout.

"Stop… stop!"

"Big brother, want to get rich… bah, want to stay in office!"

"We brothers united, our profit cuts gold!"

Fengxi's figure, which was about to dissipate, instantly solidified.

He suddenly turned, looked at that figure, felt an intimately familiar connection…… his tiger-like body shuddered, his eyes widened.

"Is it you?!"

Shock, bewilderment, astonishment…… one emotion after another floated on his face, complex enough to be made into emojis.

"I'm going!"

"Your cultivation is wrong!"

"What brand of hormone did you take?"

Fengxi's tone carried too much disbelief.

"No time to explain much……" that figure, having rushed over exhausted, seemed to have endured great oppression, panting heavily, "I'm now a black household, time is pressing, I'll make it short……"

The newcomer acts swift as wind, fierce as thunder, and decisively.

No nonsense, explaining the cause and effect clearly in the shortest time.

"Like this, like this…… this way, that way……"

Fengxi listened, his eyes instantly becoming brilliantly bright, more radiant than the sun star.

"Regarding the problem you encountered, there is also a solution……" the newcomer continued, "Doing this and that…… then great things can be accomplished!"

He lowered his voice, setting up isolating measures.

Occasionally, a few scattered words leaked out.

Such as a "stand-in", "asset transfer", "false accounts"……

Fengxi's eyes grew brighter.

But at the same time, he also became hesitant, "This…… sounds somewhat reliable."

"But…… is it really feasible?"

"Besides, you being a Trumpet, you wouldn't understand…… my loyalty to Empress Nüwa can be shown to heaven and earth!"

"We're not doing anything bad……" the newcomer gave a dry cough twice, "It's just using some small means to stimulate our work enthusiasm."

"Furthermore."

"Her Majesty didn't want you to carry out the so-called Feng Hou plan, to infiltrate Huangdi's heart?"

"Now, we are merely slightly modifying and adjusting that plan a little……"

The person gestured with two fingers, indicating it's really just a little bit, "As long as the result is good, the process…… changing some…… doesn't need to be worried about!"

"This is also for our collective benefit…… serving more terms as Human King Leader, fulfilling more of humanity's small needs, solving more stubborn ailments, the force of human feedback would also increase……"

"By then."

"If we truly feel sorry for Her Majesty."

"We can give her a fearless charge again, go beat up Huangdi…… wouldn't that work?"

The person said a lot.

"Mm……" Fengxi nodded happily, "Xiao Jiujiujiu…… what you say makes sense."

"I am a great loyal subject."

"I am full of loyalty to Empress Nüwa."

"That is, now, the situation is special, needing to be armed to the teeth, to strive for even the tiniest bit of strength for humanity's victory."

"Top combat power is also an important bargaining chip."

"But in the end, I dare to act and take responsibility."

"If I overstep like this, I will surely carry thorns to apologize, begging Her Majesty's punishment."

Fengxi straightened his chest.

This moment.

Fengxi felt the light of the righteous path shining upon him.

"Well, then it's settled……"

Feng Jiujiujiu Xi's face showed a brilliant smile, his whole person becoming hazy, turning into a ball of light, and also seeming like an imprint.

Fengxi watched, also smiling, his figure beginning to change…… like a deep black hole, and also like primordial darkness.

They were resonating, and the most wonderful changes occurred.

At the same time.

The perfectly merged human-way holy fire swayed slowly, wandering back and forth in the middle, like the line in the Taiji diagram.

Is that all?

No!

Far from it.

In silence, another kind of Dao appeared, a top-tier status.

Qi Luck Great Dao!

Fortune Dao Lord!

This is, in Fengxi's chance encounter, inherited from a Human King Sacred Emperor who refuses to reveal his name; it now manifests, attracted by some things in the ball of light of Feng 999 Xi.

Light, spinning, leaping, instantly countless imprints absorbed by it, belonging to that Human King Sacred Emperor who refuses to reveal his name, appear.

These imprints, after appearing briefly, all rush into the Fortune Great Dao.

Then, the expanding Great Dao turns, stirring the cycles of light and darkness, and then sinks into that holy fire.

It is nearly self-immolating!

The Great Dao burns, in destruction, in annihilation…… In the vast ages, if a mournful cry were to sound, it would be the deepest traces of the past fading away.

However, destruction is not the end…… Here, there also lies an opportunity for rebirth.

As if cleansing all worldly splendor.

When the holy fire receives firewood, it burns to the extreme.

In the dim darkness, an emperor smiles as he steps over the shackles of ages, descending here in full glory.

He has the same appearance as Fengxi.

Holy fire surrounds his body, the surrounding spacetime sings a great title——

Yandi!

But he seems to have some kind of defect.

After his visage settles into Fengxi's appearance, a layer of mist arises, seeking to change it.

"Ah…… what is owed must always be repaid."

Yandi sighs lightly, his form unstopped, a road of time appears beneath his feet, he strides forward.

Occasionally looking back, he gazes toward Mount Buzhou.

There, a Human King earnestly handling affairs, sensing something, turns sideways, smiles, gestures, and greets.

"Hello, I am the Qing Emperor."
