Chapter 646

Thus, for the human race to attain the status of a Sage of Human Dao, there are only two paths available.

One is to gather the statuses of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

The other is for the human race to achieve great unification and sever ties with the Heavenly Court, forcibly reclaiming the human Dao's destiny held by the Heavenly Court.

The former is nearly impossible, as the Three Sovereigns are sealed within the Fire Cloud Cave, and the Five Emperors are sealed elsewhere.

Both seals were established by Ancestor Hongjun using the Heavenly Dao, and nearly impossible to break.

As for the other path, it is also nearly impossible.

Today's human race has long been split into countless dynasties.

To conquer and unify each of these dynasties, then gain universal recognition as the new Human Emperor, is harder than climbing to heaven.

Even if someone were able to unify the human race.

To reclaim the human Dao's destiny from the Heavenly Court, one must confront every immortal and deity within the Heavenly Court.

With the human race's current strength, it is utterly impossible to oppose the Heavenly Court.

Even if they could oppose the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Court stands behind Ancestor Hongjun.

Ancestor Hongjun will never allow the birth of a Sage of Human Dao.

Therefore, for the human race today, both paths are dead ends.

The Heavenly Emperor Fu Xi had long understood this matter.

As one of the Three Sovereigns, how could he willingly remain imprisoned in the Fire Cloud Cave by Ancestor Hongjun?

Secretly, the Heavenly Emperor Fu Xi had long engaged in countless calculations and discussions with the Earth Emperor Shen Nong and the Human Emperor Xuanyuan, seeking a way to break the deadlock.

Although they knew fewer secrets than Luo Fu and were unaware of the precise relationship among the Three Dao—Heaven, Earth, and Human—

as Sub-Sages of Human Dao, they naturally possessed the instinct to gather Human Dao's power, granted by Human Dao itself.

The Three Sovereigns did not know that Human Dao could be used to counter the Heavenly Dao, but gathering Human Dao's power could at least grant mortals strength to oppose Sages.

As long as one possessed the power of a Sage, the human race could never again be reduced to mere puppets of the Sages.

This was not mere speculation by the Three Sovereigns; there was a living example: the Netherworld.

The Netherworld had barely maintained its independence precisely because it possessed Lady Pingxin, a Sage.

Regarding Lady Pingxin's imprint, the Earth Emperor Shen Nong and the Human Emperor Xuanyuan may not have known, but the Heavenly Emperor Fu Xi knew very clearly.

The Heavenly Emperor Fu Xi's past life was also a great transcendent of ancient times, and he had a younger sister who was a Sage.

The Heavenly Emperor Fu Xi knew far more secrets of the Three Realms than most.

"Without my intervention, it truly would be impossible. But with my intervention, the situation changes entirely. In fact, even without the aid of the Three Sovereigns, given more time, I am confident I can gather Human Dao's power!"

Luo Fu observed the reactions of the Three Sovereigns.

In truth, the Three Sovereigns' conclusion was correct.

Without Luo Fu's intervention, the human race alone could hardly gather Human Dao's power.

Ancestor Hongjun had planned with flawless precision; having made his scheme, he had erased every possibility of the human race gathering Human Dao's power and awakening Human Dao.

With Luo Fu's intervention, the situation becomes entirely different.

Even if Ancestor Hongjun's foresight was flawless, he could never have foreseen Luo Fu.

Luo Fu is not from the Journey to the West World.

Most importantly, Luo Fu's methods and strength are extraordinarily powerful.

Ancestor Hongjun did indeed eliminate every possibility of the human race gathering Human Dao's power.

But what if it's not just the human race?

The Ten Thousand Spirits of Human Dao are not merely the human race.

The Ten Thousand Spirits' destiny held by the human race has indeed been divided up.
