Chapter 404: Revealing the Relationship Between the Three Daos of Heaven, Earth, and Man

"First, we must clarify one point: the Heavenly Dao is not invincible. The Heavenly Dao is the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial world, but the Primordial world does not only have the Heavenly Dao."

The secrets of the Heavenly Dao, if placed in the outside world, would definitely shock countless great supernatural beings, but in Luo Fu's mouth, it seemed extremely ordinary.

"What do you mean? The Heavenly Dao and the Primordial world are originally one, aren't they?"

Hearing Luo Fu's explanation, the Human Emperor Xuanyuan spoke up, unable to remain calm.

Among the Three Sovereigns, only he attained the Dao through slaughter.

Compared to the Heavenly Sovereign and the Earthly Sovereign Shennong, his personality was more impetuous.

"Simply put, the Heavenly Dao is only one of the masters of the Primordial world. Besides the Heavenly Dao, the Primordial world also has the Earthly Dao and the Human Dao, both of which equally possess the possibility of dominating the Primordial world."

Luo Fu had anticipated the Human Emperor Xuanyuan's question, and he used the Three Sovereigns themselves as an analogy to explain it more colloquially:

"Just as the Fire Cloud Cave has three Saint Emperors at the same time, you three Saint Emperors are all considered masters of the Fire Cloud Cave. The Primordial world is like the Fire Cloud Cave, and the Three Daos of Heaven, Earth, and Man are like you three Heaven, Earth, and Man Sovereigns."

With this analogy, the Three Sovereigns all understood Luo Fu's meaning.

Even the wiser Heavenly Sovereign Fuxi immediately read the hidden meaning in Luo Fu's words:

"According to your words, comparing the Fire Cloud Cave to the Primordial world and us to the Three Daos of Heaven, Earth, and Man. The Fire Cloud Cave existed from the beginning; I attained the Dao before my two younger brothers and was the first to reside in the Fire Cloud Cave. At that time, I was the sole master of the Fire Cloud Cave."

"Yes, the Heavenly Sovereign is quite right."

Talking to smart people is better; there is no need for much explanation, and the Heavenly Sovereign Fuxi grasped his meaning.

"After Big Brother attained the Dao, I and Xuanyuan attained the Dao one after another and also resided in the Fire Cloud Cave. The Fire Cloud Cave thus had three masters. Big Brother is kind and did not bully us."

"So, the three of us are all considered the de facto masters of the Fire Cloud Cave."

After the Heavenly Sovereign Fuxi spoke, the Earthly Sovereign Shennong also understood the crux of the matter and could not help but speak.

"I understand. If Big Brother were not kind and chose to bully us when we first moved into the Fire Cloud Cave, then the Fire Cloud Cave would still be under the control of the Heavenly Dao."

The Human Emperor Xuanyuan's personality was just not steady enough; being able to attain the Human Emperor Dao, he was definitely a smart person.

After listening to the explanations from Luo Fu, the Heavenly Sovereign Fuxi, and the Earthly Sovereign Shennong, he gradually understood.

"The Three Daos of Heaven, Earth, and Man are like us three Sovereigns, and the Heavenly Dao is that unkind Big Brother who, after the appearance of the Earthly Dao and the Human Dao, chose to suppress them and occupy the position of master of the Primordial world."

"Hmm, the Human Emperor is right. The Heavenly Dao has dominated the Primordial world precisely by suppressing the Earthly Dao and the Human Dao."

Luo Fu nodded slightly, confirming the Human Emperor Xuanyuan's words.

These secrets, to those who know, are not secrets at all.

To those who do not know, they can be considered earth-shattering secrets.

The reason the Three Sovereigns and others could not see the relationship between the Three Daos of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

Was because the Heavenly Dao had always been high above, dominating the entire Primordial world.

No one had ever thought that the weak Earthly Dao and the almost never-manifested Human Dao were, like the Heavenly Dao, one of the masters of the Primordial world.

"Although the Heavenly Dao suppressed the Earthly Dao and the Human Dao, it did not completely devour them and thoroughly dominate the Primordial world."

Seeing that the Three Sovereigns understood the relationship between the Three Daos of Heaven, Earth, and Man, Luo Fu continued to speak, explaining more secrets to them.

"The Earthly Dao and the Human Dao were only suppressed, and there is still some time before the Heavenly Dao completely dominates the Primordial world. This is our opportunity!"

Luo Fu's words rang in the ears of the Three Sovereigns like a thunderclap.

"Does Fellow Daoist Luo Fu mean to assist the Earthly Dao and the Human Dao in breaking free from the suppression of the Heavenly Dao, and then rely on the Earthly Dao and the Human Dao to jointly oppose the Heavenly Dao?"

As soon as the words fell, the Heavenly Sovereign Fuxi heard the hidden intention in Luo Fu's words and stated it directly.

"Yes, use the Earthly Dao and the Human Dao to oppose the Heavenly Dao. We indeed cannot oppose the Heavenly Dao, but we can use the Earthly Dao and the Human Dao to restrict the Heavenly Dao."

This had been Luo Fu's intention all along.

When he first entered the Journey to the West world, Luo Fu had decided on the plan to use the Earthly Dao and the Human Dao to restrict the Heavenly Dao and ultimately suppress the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

This was also the most feasible method Luo Fu could think of.

As long as he could restrict the Heavenly Dao so that it could not mobilize the power of the world to take action against him, he would have the confidence to contain the Dao Ancestor Hongjun and successfully reverse the Journey to the West Great Calamity.

"Fellow Daoist's idea is good, but unfortunately, this method has almost no possibility of success."

After listening to Luo Fu's plan, the faces of the Three Sovereigns all slowly calmed down. After the three of them looked at each other, the Heavenly Sovereign Fuxi continued with a bitter smile:

"We do not know about the Earthly Dao, but we are clear about the Human Dao. The current Human Dao has long been divided by the Heavenly Dao and has almost fallen into becoming a vassal of the Heavenly Dao. Even if we try our best to help, it is impossible to stimulate the power of the Human Dao."

As Sub-Saints of the Human Dao, the Three Sovereigns could be considered the people who understood the Human Dao best in the entire Journey to the West world.

Over the years, the Three Sovereigns had also realized some of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun's schemes to decompose the Human Dao.

Especially the Heavenly Sovereign Fuxi, who was good at deduction, knew these secrets most clearly.

It was precisely because he knew the secrets within that the Heavenly Sovereign Fuxi understood how difficult it was to re-condense the Human Dao and get rid of the Heavenly Dao's suppression.

The Human Dao is different from the Heavenly Dao and the Earthly Dao; it is the Dao of all spirits.

To condense the power of the Human Dao, one must possess enough status of the fortune of all spirits.

The human race is the protagonist of all spirits, condensing the vast majority of the fortune of all spirits.

As the Three Sovereigns of the human race, they possess the Sub-Saint status bestowed by the Human Dao.

Originally, they only needed the three of them to join forces to temporarily obtain the power of a Human Dao Saint, condense the power of the Human Dao, and make the Human Dao manifest in the Primordial world.

However, due to the schemes of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

The fortune of the human race had long been largely divided by the six Saints.

A portion of the remaining small half of the fortune was condensed by the Dao Ancestor Hongjun into the status of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, another portion was scattered among the human race, and the rest was divided by the gods of the heavens.

The human race is only the protagonist of all spirits, not the master of all spirits.

The share of the fortune of all spirits they occupy was not much to begin with.

Of course, compared to other races, the fortune of all spirits occupied by the human race is undoubtedly countless times more.

The already small fortune of all spirits, after being divided by the six Saints, could at most support the birth of two Human Dao Saints.

And of these two Human Dao Saint statuses, one was decomposed into the status of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

The remaining Human Dao Saint status was scattered among every human being, and the other half was in the hands of the Heavenly Court.
