Chapter 92: The Emperor Returns to His Throne, Humans and Demons Face a Choice
After ten years of seclusion, Fuxi successfully deduced the principles of the Eight Trigrams, enabling humanity to predict celestial secrets and discern good and bad fortune. He then completed his mission and went to the Humanity's Holy Temple to prepare for becoming the Human Emperor.
Fuxi stood on the altar of the Human Race Temple, below him were the leaders of various human tribes. They also knew that Fuxi was about to become the Human Emperor in the Human Race Temple, so they all came to witness it.
"Beyond the Great Dao, above the Heavenly Dao, above the Mysterious Beginning Daoist Venerable, above the Holy Mother Nuwa, above the Supreme Pure Moral Heavenly Venerable, I am Fuxi, of the Fenggun clan of the human race, the common ruler of the human race. Since taking charge of the human race, I have established human relations, promoted marriage, and developed the Eight Trigrams. Now I have achieved perfect merit and attained the status of Human Emperor. I hope that the Great Dao, the Heavenly Dao, the Mysterious Beginning Daoist Venerable, the Holy Mother Nuwa, and the Supreme Pure Moral Heavenly Venerable will recognize me as the Heavenly Emperor of the human race!" Fuxi said loudly.
"Boom!" As Fuxi announced, a thunderclap resounded from beyond the nine heavens, and then a beam of holy light of merit descended from the sky. Seventy percent fell on Fuxi, and one ten percent fell on the Bagua diagram that Fuxi had created. Nourished by the merit, the Bagua diagram also became an acquired merit treasure. Two-tenths of the merit fell on Xuandu. At the same time, Xuan Chu also activated the Kongtong Seal, giving Fuxi the fortune of a human emperor.
Bathed in the holy light of merit, Fuxi's cultivation level soared. After breaking through to the Quasi-Saint realm, Fuxi also regained his memories of his past life. At this moment, a Fuxi Qin (a type of zither) came from the horizon. With the arrival of the Fuxi Qin, Fuxi's cultivation in his past and present lives merged into one, and he directly broke through to the peak of Quasi-Saint.
As the teacher of the Human Emperor, Xuandu also obtained two merits. Bathed in the holy light of merit, Xuandu's cultivation level continued to rise. Before obtaining merit, Xuandu was at the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal. After the merit entered his body, Xuandu directly broke through to Daluo Golden Immortal, reaching the early stage of Daluo Golden Immortal, becoming the first Daluo Golden Immortal of the third generation of Xuanmen. Taishang was also very gratified to see this scene. After planning for so long, he finally got what he wanted.
After regaining his memories, Fuxi's eyes were filled with the vicissitudes of life, and tears welled up in them. He kept stroking the Fuxi Qin in his hands, and all the long-lost feelings returned. He murmured, "My name is Fuxi! My name is Fuxi!"
Fuxi put away his Fuxi Qin (a type of zither), walked to Xuandu, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you, Master, for protecting my path!"
Xuan Du dared not accept Fu Xi's greeting. Putting aside the fact that Fu Xi was the Heavenly Emperor of the Human Race, whose status was equivalent to a Heavenly Sage, just considering Fu Xi's identity as Nuwa's brother, Xuan Du dared not be presumptuous. He quickly returned the greeting, saying, "Human Emperor, there is no need for such formalities. Now that you have attained the Dao of Human Emperor and regained your memories of your past life, there is no need to mention the master-disciple relationship again in the future." Xuan Du quickly distanced himself from the master-disciple relationship with Fu Xi. He was joking; he would never dare to be Fu Xi's teacher.
Hearing Xuandu say this, Fuxi breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, although Fuxi was not Hongjun's disciple, he was still considered a second-generation disciple of the Xuanmen sect. After becoming a disciple of Xuandu, he instantly became a fourth-generation disciple. The difference was too great. If this master-disciple relationship continued, wouldn't Fuxi have to address his sister Nuwa as his grand-uncle when they met in the future? Fuxi couldn't accept that.
"In that case, let us address each other as fellow Daoists after our deaths," Fuxi said with a smile.
Fuxi walked up to Nuwa and said with a smile, "Sister, your brother is back."
Before Nuwa and Fuxi could even catch up properly, Xuan Chu's voice rang out.
"Fuxi, now that you have attained the status of Human Emperor, let me ask you this: will you be the Heavenly Emperor of the Human Race or the Fuxi Emperor of the Demon Race in the future?" Xuan Chu said.
"Daoist Master, what does this mean?" Fuxi was somewhat bewildered. What did this mean? Couldn't the Heavenly Emperor of the Human Race be the Demon Emperor Fuxi?
Nuwa was also puzzled. After all, she had agreed to let Fuxi reincarnate as the human emperor because she thought that after Fuxi became the human emperor, he could continue to serve as the Xi Emperor of the demon race and use the human race's fortune to benefit the demon race. Meanwhile, Taishang seemed to be deep in thought.
Xuan Chu said, "Fu Xi, have you forgotten that humans and demons are irreconcilable enemies? Since you have already abandoned your demon form and reincarnated as the human emperor, you should sever all ties with the demon race. Otherwise, what makes you think that the human race would recognize a demon emperor as the human emperor?"
"This..." Fuxi was struggling internally. Giving up his identity as the Demon Emperor Xi was contrary to his original intention. Even though he had become the Emperor of the Human Race, in Fuxi's heart, the Human Race was still inferior to the Demon Race.
"Daoist Master, please have mercy!" Nuwa was very anxious and thought of pleading with Xuan Chu.
"No need to say more!" Xuan Chu said, "You can only choose between the Human Emperor and the Demon Emperor, Fuxi. If you want to become the Human Emperor, you must sever all ties with the Demon Race. If you cannot bear to part with the Demon Race, then I will use the Kongtong Seal to take back your Human Emperor destiny. You can choose for yourself."
Fuxi was now in a dilemma. To become the Emperor of the Human Race meant completely breaking away from the Demon Race, but if he chose the Demon Race, his position as Emperor of the Human Race would be revoked. What would be the point of all his hard work then? Fuxi looked at Xuan Chu with pleading eyes, hoping that Xuan Chu would show leniency.
"Fuxi, you don't need to look at me. Go and ask the human leaders below whether they are willing to let a demon become the human emperor." Xuan Chu waved his hand, telling Fuxi to ask the humans before making a decision.
"I refuse!" Before Fuxi could speak, Suiren stepped forward and said, "Our human race will never allow a demon to become our human emperor."
"Suiren, do you know that Fuxi is my brother? When I created the human race, my brother made great contributions. He is like the Holy Father of the human race. How can he not be the Emperor of the human race?" Nuwa was furious when she saw that Suiren dared to oppose Fuxi. This was disrespecting her, the Holy Mother of the Human Race.
"Holy Mother!" Facing Nuwa's anger, Suiren said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "The contributions that Fuxi made to our human race will never be forgotten by our human race, but this cannot change the fact that he is a demon. Humans and demons cannot coexist, which is recognized by the Heavenly Dao. Even the Holy Mother cannot change this. The reason why the human race is willing to worship the Holy Mother is because the Holy Mother is the Holy Mother of the human race, not the Nuwa of the demon race."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Chu and Tai Shang Du Sui Ren showed expressions of admiration.
"Suiren, you!" Nuwa was furious when she saw that Suiren dared to talk back to her. She decided to teach Suiren a lesson and let him know who the master of the human race was.
But before Nuwa could make a move, Taishang stopped her and said, "Junior Sister Nuwa, Daozun and Suiren are right. The human emperor must not be the demon emperor Xi. I also hope that Fellow Daoist Fuxi can think this through carefully."
"Senior Brother!" Nuwa looked at Taishang in disbelief. She hadn't expected Taishang to agree with Xuan Chu.
In fact, Taishang also had his own ideas. If Fuxi were to appoint the demon Xihuang as the human emperor, then a portion of the human race's fortune would inevitably be transferred to the demon race. In fact, given enough time, the demon race might even have a chance to rise again. Having experienced the great calamity of the witch and demon race, Taishang would never allow the demon race to have a chance to make a comeback.
"Sister, since that's the case, then your brother will..." Before Fuxi could finish speaking, Nuwa interrupted, "Since that's the case, brother, you will be the Emperor of the Human Race from now on, no longer the Demon Emperor Fuxi."
"Sister!" Fuxi was very surprised. Didn't his sister value the demon race highly? Why would she let him stay among the human race?
What Fuxi didn't know was that Nuwa cared more about her brother Fuxi than the demon race. If Fuxi returned to the demon race, all his efforts over the years would be in vain, and he would fall from the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm to the mid-stage of the Quasi-Saint realm before his reincarnation. This was something Nuwa could not allow. Therefore, Nuwa could only make Fuxi give up the demon race and settle down to be the human emperor.
