Chapter 1246: The Last Hope of Humanity! The Authority of the Human Dao Master!

No matter how much Emperor Fu Xi calculated, the fate of humanity had only one outcome: becoming puppets of the immortals and gods.

Emperor Fu Xi truly loved humanity, and how could he wish for them to become puppets of the immortals and gods?

Unfortunately, he was sealed within the Huoyun Cave and could change nothing.

After countless yuanhui had passed, Emperor Fu Xi had long since resigned himself to despair.

Only with Luo Fu's arrival did Emperor Fu Xi find hope.

Originally, Emperor Fu Xi had merely hoped Luo Fu could consolidate the Human Dao.

As long as the Human Dao could be consolidated, humanity's future would have a chance.

The revival of the Human Dao was humanity's only hope.

But Emperor Fu Xi never imagined Luo Fu was a Celestial Dao-level powerhouse—not only had he revived the Human Dao, but he had also directly suppressed Ancestor Hongjun and bound him in place.

Thus, Luo Fu not only granted humanity a future, but had also temporarily lifted the great mountain pressing upon them.

To humanity, it was as if they had been reborn.

Such a great debt warranted three emperors bowing their heads.

"Emperor Fu Xi is too humble—I am unworthy of the title of Human Master. Becoming Human Master was merely a temporary measure. Now that the Human Dao has revived, it is time I return the title to humanity."

Luo Fu did not hesitate—he stated his purpose outright.

He came to the Huoyun Cave solely to return the title of Human Master to humanity.

To Luo Fu, the title of Human Dao Master meant nothing.

The Human Dao had not yet fully broken free from its seals, so its blessings upon Luo Fu were limited.

Moreover, Luo Fu was not of the Journey to the West World; he would soon depart from it, and the title of Human Master carried vast Human Dao fortune—he had no intention of taking the Journey to the West World's Human Dao fortune with him.

"You jest, Human Master. You have bestowed great grace upon humanity; no one in the Three Realms is more worthy to be Human Master than you. If you are unfit, then no one in the Three Realms is fit."

Emperor Fu Xi spoke quickly, his tone utterly sincere—he genuinely believed Luo Fu was worthy of the Human Master position.

Not only Emperor Fu Xi, but also Emperor Huang Di and Emperor Shennong held the same view.

Merely reviving the Human Dao, Luo Fu's merit surpassed that of any human.

"No, thank you. I have no interest in the position of Human Master."

Luo Fu refused again—he truly had no interest in the title of Human Master.

Compared to ruling a race, Luo Fu cared far more about his own cultivation.

To others, the title of Human Master might be invaluable, but to Luo Fu, it was merely a burden.

"Human Master..."

Emperor Fu Xi still wished to speak, but before he could finish, Luo Fu immediately withdrew the Kongtong Seal, cutting him off.

"This is the Kongtong Seal. I have poured all my Human Dao fortune into it. I have also communicated with the Human Dao—henceforth, the Kongtong Seal shall be the embodiment of the Human Dao Master's authority. Whoever gains the Kongtong Seal and the Human Dao's recognition shall become the new Human Dao Master."

As Luo Fu spoke, the phantom silhouette of the Human Dao Sage's rank reappeared upon the Kongtong Seal, four halos faintly shimmering within.

Feeling the aura emanating from the Kongtong Seal, Emperor Fu Xi fell silent.

He had not expected Luo Fu to pour all his Human Dao fortune into the Kongtong Seal.

Moreover, from Luo Fu's tone, it seemed he had no intention of keeping the Kongtong Seal.

This was the title of Human Dao Master.

Even for ordinary Celestial Dao-level cultivators, the title of Human Dao Master in the Primordial World was exceedingly precious.

The Primordial World was no ordinary Hunyuan world—otherwise, Ancestor Hongjun would not have cared so deeply for its Celestial Dao.

In fact, even the title of Human Dao Master in an ordinary world was precious to Celestial Dao-level cultivators.

Ordinary Hunyuan worlds possessed the power to suppress Celestial Dao-level cultivators.

Holding the title of Human Dao Master granted a fallback path.

Even if faced with an unstoppable foe, one could retreat into a Hunyuan world.

Within a Hunyuan world, no Celestial Dao-level cultivator could easily prevail.

The reason Hunyuan worlds were a refuge for Celestial Dao-level cultivators was not because they were rare, but because ordinary Celestial Dao-level cultivators could not enter them at all.

Even if they entered, the Three Dao—Heaven, Earth, and Humanity—would naturally reject them.

Under such conditions, ordinary Celestial Dao-level cultivators could never gain the recognition of the Three Dao.

Without the Celestial Dao Jade Disc as a medium, Ancestor Hongjun could never have devoured the Primordial World's Celestial Dao.

Thus, the reason Hunyuan worlds were a refuge for Celestial Dao-level cultivators was not because they were too valuable, but because ordinary Celestial Dao-level cultivators could never extract any benefit from them.

This was from the perspective of Celestial Dao-level cultivators.

From the Three Emperors' perspective, the Human Dao Master was the most precious thing in the Journey to the West World—even a Primordial Treasure could not match half its worth.

The Three Emperors believed that even for Celestial Dao-level cultivators, the Human Dao Master should be exceedingly precious.

Otherwise, Ancestor Hongjun would not have schemed for countless yuanhui to devour the Celestial Dao.

The Human Dao and the Celestial Dao were equal entities.
