Chapter 1191: The Human Race Submits! Vast Humanity

Since gaining the Three Sovereigns' status, this was the first time they felt the breath of freedom.

"My two younger brothers, are you ready?"

Heaven Sovereign Fu Xi looked toward Earth Sovereign Shen Nong and Human Sovereign Huang Di, his tone solemn.

Though Ancestor Hongjun obscured the celestial deities' perception of humanity's Dao, he could not obscure Heaven Sovereign Fu Xi's perception of humanity's Dao.

Heaven Sovereign Fu Xi clearly sensed that the newly formed humanity's Dao was being resealed by the Heavenly Dao.

Humanity's Dao lacked the power to resist the Heavenly Dao's full sealing.

Faced with the Heavenly Dao's seal, humanity's Dao had no spare strength to break the barrier outside Huoyun Cave.

Worse still, Heaven Sovereign Fu Xi clearly sensed that the barrier outside Huoyun Cave had been reinforced once more by Ancestor Hongjun.

The barrier outside Huoyun Cave was already immensely strong—even sages struggled to break it—and now reinforced, it was even harder to shatter.

Upon realizing that using humanity's Dao to break Huoyun Cave's seal was impossible, all Three Sovereigns fell into despair.

Humanity's Dao had been their last hope, yet they never imagined that even after its formation, it could not escape the Heavenly Dao's seal.

Fortunately, their despair did not last long.

Earth Dao followed immediately, emerging into the world and restoring the Three Sovereigns' hope.

This time, no accident occurred—Earth Dao successfully shattered the seal of Huoyun Cave.

"Before humanity's Dao, I, Heaven Sovereign Fu Xi, represent the human race and vow to honor Luo Fu as the common lord of humanity's Dao. Those among the human race who wish to obey my command, bow to Luo Fu, jointly honor Luo Fu as the lord of the human race—let humanity's Dao bear witness!"

"Before humanity's Dao, I, Human Sovereign Huang Di, represent the human race and vow to honor Luo Fu as the common lord of humanity's Dao. Those among the human race who wish to obey my command, bow to Luo Fu, jointly honor Luo Fu as the lord of the human race—let humanity's Dao bear witness!"

"Before humanity's Dao, I, Earth Sovereign Shen Nong, represent the human race and vow to honor Luo Fu as the common lord of humanity's Dao. Those among the human race who wish to obey my command, bow to Luo Fu, jointly honor Luo Fu as the lord of the human race—let humanity's Dao bear witness!"

Three mighty voices echoed throughout the Three Realms.

Above Huoyun Cave, the Three Sovereigns each manifested their true forms.

Thick humanity's Dao fortune swirled around them.

The power of humanity's Dao bloomed upon each of the Three Sovereigns; the aura of humanity's Sub-Sage status swept across the entire Three Realms.

Following the Three Sovereigns, the Five Emperors—also sealed by Ancestor Hongjun—shattered their own seals and appeared.

"Before humanity's Dao, I, Zhuan Xu, represent the human race and vow to honor Luo Fu as the common lord of humanity's Dao. Those among the human race who wish to obey my command, bow to Luo Fu, jointly honor Luo Fu as the lord of the human race—let humanity's Dao bear witness!"

"Before humanity's Dao, I, Di Ku, represent the human race and vow to honor Luo Fu as the common lord of humanity's Dao. Those among the human race who wish to obey my command, bow to Luo Fu, jointly honor Luo Fu as the lord of the human race—let humanity's Dao bear witness!"

"Before humanity's Dao, I, Emperor Yao, represent the human race and vow to honor Luo Fu as the common lord of humanity's Dao. Those among the human race who wish to obey my command, bow to Luo Fu, jointly honor Luo Fu as the lord of the human race—let humanity's Dao bear witness!"

"Before humanity's Dao, I, Emperor Shun, represent the human race and vow to honor Luo Fu as the common lord of humanity's Dao. Those among the human race who wish to obey my command, bow to Luo Fu, jointly honor Luo Fu as the lord of the human race—let humanity's Dao bear witness!"

"Before humanity's Dao, I, Emperor Yu, represent the human race and vow to honor Luo Fu as the common lord of humanity's Dao. Those among the human race who wish to obey my command, bow to Luo Fu, jointly honor Luo Fu as the lord of the human race—let humanity's Dao bear witness!"

Vast amounts of humanity's Dao fortune began gathering in response to the voices of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

For the human race, the influence of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors was immense.

Even sages held less sway over the human race than the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

Countless humans, hearing the voices of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, began bowing toward the Three Sovereigns.

They did not know who Luo Fu was, nor how to bow to Luo Fu—but they could see the Three Sovereigns' forms.

Compared to Luo Fu, they trusted the Three Sovereigns more.

Vast fortune gathered upon the Three Sovereigns.

Seeing all humanity's Dao fortune converge upon the Three Sovereigns, the Five Emperors exchanged glances and bowed slightly toward the Three Sovereigns.

The humanity's Dao fortune inherent in the Five Emperors' statuses was stripped from them and flowed toward the Three Sovereigns.

The Three Sovereigns' own fortune, under Earth Dao's influence, also merged together.

The statuses of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors fused into one—becoming a single humanity's Sage status.

In truth, the Three Sovereigns' humanity's Sub-Sage statuses had originally been split from the first humanity's Sage status.

In the Ancient Era, Honghuang was in chaos; humanity's Dao fortune was invisible.

Even though Zu Long, Daoist Yuan Feng, and Beginning Qilin had obtained the statuses of Lord of Aquatic Races, Lord of Terrestrial Beasts, and Lord of Flying Creatures, they could not condense a humanity's Sage status due to Earth Dao's invisibility.

The same was true during the Witch-Demon Era.

Though Earth Dao had begun developing then, it remained suppressed by the Heavenly Dao and could not coalesce.

Only after the Witch-Demon Era faded and the human race rose, when Honghuang's myriad beings further evolved, did Earth Dao gain a sliver of respite under the Heavenly Dao's suppression—and finally become capable of coalescing.

The first humanity's Sage status emerged under these circumstances.

Whoever unified the human race and gained its recognition as its common lord could potentially condense a humanity's Sage status, aiding humanity's Dao in forming.

Unfortunately, Ancestor Hongjun would never permit such a thing to happen.

Thus came the birth of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were created solely to divide the first humanity's Sage status.

Condensing humanity's Dao fortune required time—it could not be achieved overnight.

Normally, to gather sufficient humanity's Dao fortune, one must become the human race's common lord and hold that position long enough.

Under Ancestor Hongjun's design, the primordial humanity's Dao fortune of the human race had already been divided among several sages.

To condense a humanity's Sage status, one must rely on the postnatal humanity's Dao fortune born among the human race.

As the protagonists of myriad beings, humans could generate immense humanity's Dao fortune; once their population reached a certain scale and their civilization advanced sufficiently, the human race's common lord would naturally condense a humanity's Sage status.

But the appearance of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors crushed this possibility outright.

Whether Heaven Sovereign Fu Xi, Earth Sovereign Shen Nong, or Human Sovereign Huang Di, once they became common lord of the human race and achieved certain merit, they were granted a humanity's Sub-Sage status—and immediately sealed by Ancestor Hongjun within Huoyun Cave.

Under the pretense that Human Sovereign Huang Di must not cling too long to the position of common lord, lest he hinder human race's development.

This was Honghuang—not the mortal world.

Whoever became common lord of the human race possessed no lack of wisdom or talent.

Moreover, the Three Sovereigns had held their positions for no more than a few Shaoyuan Societies.
