Chapter 252: Fuxi Reincarnated! Lu Yun Opens the Long River of Humanity! Hongyun Reborn!

Lu Yun's words made Zhenyuanzi so excited he was almost moved to tears.

He had always held one wish, which was to avenge Hongyun and, even more, to one day be able to resurrect him.

However, he also knew how difficult it was to resurrect a living being who had completely vanished from between heaven and earth.

Since even Hongjun, as the Heavenly Dao Spokesperson, could not accomplish this, how could Zhenyuanzi not be shocked and excited that Lu Yun claimed his Human Dao could do it? "Saint Emperor, if you can truly resurrect Hongyun, I, Zhenyuanzi, am willing to give up everything, just asking that Hongyun can be reborn!" Zhenyuanzi said excitedly, his eyes flashing with a firm light.

Lu Yun nodded and said, "Very well. Since you have decided, I will do you this favor. However, to resurrect Hongyun, it would be best to use the remnant soul of Hongyun within your Ginseng Fruit Tree at Wuzhuang Temple as a guide."

Zhenyuanzi understood immediately and said solemnly, "Please wait a moment, Saint Emperor. This humble Daoist will go back and bring the Ginseng Fruit Tree!"

Afterward, Zhenyuanzi hurried away, heading straight for Wuzhuang Temple on Wanshou Mountain.

Lu Yun then turned his gaze toward the Queen Mother of the West and Fuxi.

"Queen Mother of the West, Senior Fuxi, do you two have any thoughts?" Lu Yun asked with a smile.

The Queen Mother of the West and Fuxi looked at each other, both seeing firm determination in the other's eyes. They knew that the Human Dao created by Lu Yun would be the hope for the future of the Great Desolation, and also the opportunity for them to prove the Dao! "Saint Emperor, I, Yao Xi, the Queen Mother of the West, am willing to join the Human Dao Faction and contribute my meager strength to the development of the Human Dao," the Queen Mother of the West stated first.

Fuxi followed closely behind, saying, "Fuxi is also willing to join the Human Dao Faction and contribute his own strength to the rise of the Human Dao."

Lu Yun smiled slightly and asked again, "Even if it means you must abandon your current cultivation to do so, you will not regret it?"

"This..."

The Queen Mother of the West hesitated for a moment; abandoning her cultivation left her feeling too insecure.

Fuxi, on the other hand, had long since made up his mind and decided decisively, saying, "Fuxi is willing to give up everything and choose a new life!"

The Queen Mother of the West was very impressed by this act of Fuxi's and said, "Fellow Daoist Fuxi truly has great resolve!"

Lu Yun also expressed his admiration for Fuxi: "Senior Fuxi's determination to seek the Dao is truly admirable!"

Pausing slightly, he said to the Queen Mother of the West, "Fellow Daoist Queen Mother of the West, I also understand the concerns in your heart. Why not wait and see after Fellow Daoist Fuxi has been reincarnated as a human before making your decision?"

"That would be fine!"

The Queen Mother of the West nodded and agreed.

Afterward, Lu Yun said to Fuxi, "Senior Fuxi, do you need to go and bid farewell to your various friends? After all, with this reincarnation, you will not meet again until you become a Saint!"

Fuxi, however, smiled and said, "No need. I do not have many friends, and I have already finished saying my goodbyes."

Lu Yun nodded in understanding and said, "Since that is the case, hand your magic treasures to me, and then go to the Reincarnation. I will return them to you when you return after proving the Dao!"

"Good!"

Fuxi nodded and immediately prepared to dissipate his cultivation.

However, Lu Yun suddenly called out, "Wait!"

Fuxi asked in confusion, "Is there anything else?"

Watching Fuxi prepare to dissipate his cultivation, Lu Yun felt a sudden impulse, feeling that it would be too wasteful to just dissipate it like that. He pondered for a moment and decided to handle Fuxi's cultivation in another way.

"Senior Fuxi, hold off on dissipating your cultivation," Lu Yun said. "I have an idea that might allow your cultivation to play a greater role."

Fuxi stopped his movements and asked curiously, "Oh? What high opinion does the Saint Emperor have?"

Lu Yun smiled slightly and explained, "I want to transform your cultivation into thirty-six rays of Spirit Light and scatter them directly among the Human Race across the Great Desolation. This way, not only will it provide assistance to the development of the Human Race, but it can also be considered as accumulating a stroke of good fortune for your future path of proving the Dao."

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of light flashed in Fuxi's eyes, and he nodded, saying, "This method is excellent! In this way, it can help the Human Race and accumulate good karma for me; why wouldn't I do it?"

Thus, under Lu Yun's guidance, Fuxi's cultivation gradually transformed into thirty-six dazzling rays of Spirit Light, like shooting stars piercing the sky, flying toward the Human Race in all parts of the Great Desolation.

Watching these rays of Spirit Light fly away, Lu Yun smiled and said to Fuxi, "Senior Fuxi, these thirty-six rays of Spirit Light shall serve as your good fortune on the path to proving the Dao. When you return from reincarnation, you will surely prove the Dao and become a Saint."

Fuxi, now only a soul, could still feel Lu Yun's kindness and concern, and he hurriedly bowed in thanks: "Many thanks to the Saint Emperor for your fulfillment! Fuxi is deeply grateful."

Afterward, Fuxi flew rapidly toward the Nether Blood Sea, preparing for reincarnation. However, his figure suddenly vanished mid-way, as if he had merged into the void.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother of the West asked with some concern, "Saint Emperor, Fellow Daoist Fuxi..."

Lu Yun smiled slightly and explained, "Rest assured, this is because the Underworld has begun to operate fully, and the Ghost Gate Pass has opened across the Great Desolation. Living beings can now enter the Reincarnation directly through the Ghost Gate Pass without needing to fly thousands of miles to the Nether Blood Sea."

The Queen Mother of the West suddenly realized and exclaimed in admiration, "So that's how it is! Fellow Daoist Houtu is truly compassionate; it is truly a blessing for the Great Desolation."

Lu Yun waved his hand, and a clear image manifested before them, directly reflecting Fuxi's current location.

After Fuxi entered the Ghost Gate Pass, it was dark before his eyes, with only a winding Yellow Springs Road extending forward, flanked by blood-red Other Shore Flowers emitting a faint, eerie light. He felt an inexplicable attraction and could not help but walk forward along this road.

As he went deeper, the atmosphere on the Yellow Springs Road became increasingly gloomy, as if it could devour the souls of all living beings. However, Fuxi's state of mind was exceptionally calm; he knew this was the necessary path to his new life.

After walking for a distance, Fuxi arrived at a massive plaza. He was then guided to stand before a solemn hall.

This hall exuded a stern aura; it was the Yama Hall, one of the Ten Yama Kings of the Underworld.

Fuxi stepped into the Yama Hall and saw a beautiful woman with a cold temperament sitting in the center of the hall; it was the Yama King.

To Fuxi's surprise, this Yama King was none other than one of the twelve Ancestral Witches he had known in the past—Xuanming.

Seeing Fuxi, a flash of surprise crossed Xuanming's eyes, but she immediately returned to calm.

She nodded slightly and said to Fuxi, "Fellow Daoist Fuxi, you have actually reached this step as well. However, given your character, there is naturally no need for judgment; you may proceed directly to the Naihe Bridge."

Although they had previously belonged to the two opposing factions of the Witch and Demon Races, Xuanming still held great respect for Fuxi's character, especially his final act of striving for a glimmer of survival for the innocent Demon Race.

Upon hearing this, a feeling of gratitude welled up in Fuxi's heart.

He bowed to Xuanming and said, "Many thanks to the Yama King for your grace."

Xuanming waved her hand, signaling for the ghost messengers to come forward. The ghost messengers respectfully led Fuxi out of the hall, preparing to send him to the Naihe Bridge. Before leaving, Fuxi turned back to thank Xuanming once more, then followed the ghost messengers onto the path toward the Naihe Bridge.

The Naihe Bridge.

Beneath the bridge flowed the churning waters of the Wangchuan River, blood-red and exuding a terrifying aura. Standing at the head of the bridge was an old woman with a kind face; it was Mengpo.

Seeing Fuxi arrive, Mengpo smiled slightly, holding a bowl of steaming soup in her hand, and said, "Drink this bowl of Mengpo Soup, and you will be able to forget the memories of your past life and step onto the path of Reincarnation."

Fuxi looked at Mengpo, and a warmth welled up in his heart.

He stepped forward, took the soup from Mengpo's hand, and drank it in one gulp.

As the soup went down his throat, Fuxi felt a wave of dizziness in his mind, and the memories of his past life receded like a tide.

"Sister, take care!" Fuxi whispered in his heart, and then he completely lost consciousness.

Afterward, under the guidance of the Underworld's ghost messengers, Fuxi passed through the checkpoints of the Six Paths of Reincarnation and finally arrived before the Reincarnation Platform.

Houtu appeared and personally arranged the path of reincarnation for Fuxi. Looking at Fuxi's soul, she said softly, "Fellow Daoist Fuxi, as you go to reincarnation, I hope you will soon Proving the Dao and Becoming a Saint."

Fuxi's soul had already forgotten the past, but he vaguely felt that the other party was calling him, so he nodded to Houtu and stepped into the gate of Reincarnation.

The scene before Lu Yun gradually dissipated along with Fuxi's reincarnation.

Watching this scene, the Queen Mother of the West could not help but sigh at the wonder and greatness of the Dao. She looked at Lu Yun, who had brought all this about, her eyes filled with admiration.

Finally, in the scene that was about to disappear, the cry of a Human Race infant was heard.

Lu Yun smiled slightly, put away the scene, and said, "Senior Fuxi has already reincarnated as a Human Race infant and begun a new journey of life. We just need to look forward to his return!"

The Queen Mother of the West was also full of anticipation for this.

Just then, Zhenyuanzi, who had gone to Wuzhuang Temple, hurried back and appeared before Lu Yun and the Queen Mother of the West.

Discovering that Fuxi's figure was gone, he did not pay it any mind and just hurriedly took out the Earth Book.

He said respectfully to Lu Yun, "Your Majesty the Saint Emperor, the Ginseng Fruit Tree is within the Earth Book; I ask that Your Majesty take action!"

As he spoke, he opened the Earth Book directly, and as a flash of precious light passed, a miraculous precious tree appeared before everyone.

The Ginseng Fruit Tree was tall and upright, with lush branches and leaves, emitting a faint divine light. Every leaf seemed to contain endless vitality, flickering with emerald green light. At the top of the tree hung dozens of crystal-clear ginseng fruits, which emitted an alluring fragrance that made one's mouth water.

Lu Yun stared at this miraculous precious tree, not paying it any mind, took a deep breath, and slowly extended his right hand.

"Hum!"

In his hand, the Kongtong Seal emitted a dazzling light, reflecting the divine light on the Ginseng Fruit Tree.

Lu Yun rapidly channeled the Humanity Power within the Kongtong Seal.

Suddenly, the Kongtong Seal's divine light bloomed, and a vast river manifested out of thin air, stretching across the space between heaven and earth, looking incomparably spectacular.

This river was sparkling, the water clear to the bottom, as if it could reflect the shadows of all things in the world. The Queen Mother of the West and Zhenyuanzi were shocked to discover that there were countless figures and scenes familiar to them within the river.

They saw the scene of their own birth, saw the course of their own growth, and even saw their own experiences of going to Zixiao Palace to seek the Dao; everything was incomparably clear, as if it had happened just yesterday.

Zhenyuanzi asked in shock, "Your Majesty the Saint Emperor, is... is this what is called the Time River?"

The Queen Mother of the West also looked at Lu Yun nervously, seemingly unable to believe that Lu Yun could now even control the Time River of the Great Desolation?

Lu Yun shook his head slightly and said, "No, this is the Humanity River."

These words left Zhenyuanzi and the Queen Mother of the West somewhat confused.

Lu Yun smiled and said, "Humanity is the Dao of all living beings. From the beginning of the creation of the world, it has existed since the birth of living beings, only it was weak before and had not manifested. After the appearance of Humanity, everything that happened in the Great Desolation related to living beings would be recorded one by one. It carries the memories and civilization of the living beings of the Great Desolation and has witnessed every moment of the Great Desolation's living beings from birth to prosperity."

Zhenyuanzi and the Queen Mother of the West looked at each other, both expressing confusion.

Lu Yun explained, "The Time River is transformed from the power of the Heavenly Dao, recording all the changes in the Primordial World. The Humanity River is condensed from the power of Humanity; it records the history and culture of the Human Race and is the symbol of the spirit of the Human Race."

Zhenyuanzi suddenly realized and said, "So that's it! No wonder I saw the past events between myself and Hongyun in this river."

The Queen Mother of the West also sighed, "The Humanity River is truly miraculous; it seems to have condensed the past, present, and future of all the ten thousand races of our Great Desolation together."

Lu Yun nodded with a smile and said, "That's right. Now, let us use the power in this Humanity River, combined with the remnant soul of Hongyun in the Ginseng Fruit Tree, to attempt to resurrect Hongyun."

As he spoke, Lu Yun held the Kongtong Seal in his hand high, drawing the power in the Humanity River to merge with the remnant soul of Hongyun in the Ginseng Fruit Tree.

A powerful energy fluctuation radiated from the Kongtong Seal, instantly enveloping the entire Ginseng Fruit Tree.

Nourished by this energy, the Ginseng Fruit Tree began to emit an even more dazzling divine light, reflecting into the Humanity River.

In an instant, everything about Hongyun in the Humanity River appeared one after another, quickly converging into an illusory figure that walked out from within the Humanity River.

When Zhenyuanzi saw this figure, he was so moved that his eyes filled with tears.

Because this figure was naturally his old friend Hongyun!

At this time, Hongyun's figure was seen walking out from within the Humanity River, walking step by step toward the Ginseng Fruit Tree.

Under the nervous gaze of Zhenyuanzi and the Queen Mother of the West, he walked into the Ginseng Fruit Tree and merged directly with it.

Lu Yun explained, "When Hongyun fell, his physical body had after all completely turned to dust. To be resurrected, he needs a new vessel, and this Ginseng Fruit Tree is quite good! Fellow Daoist Zhenyuan, you shouldn't mind, right?"

Zhenyuanzi said very readily, "Of course I don't mind!"

The Ginseng Fruit Tree finally merged completely with Hongyun. In an instant, on Kunlun Mountain, Yunzhongzi, who had just been preparing to follow the others to the Heavenly Court, suddenly rolled his eyes and died on the spot, leaving only a wisp of a remnant soul flying from Kunlun Mountain toward the direction of Witch City!

In an instant, the disciples of the Chan Sect were all terrified and at a loss, having no choice but to hurriedly report to their master, Yuanshi Tianzun!
