Chapter 237 Heavenly Dao's Recognition
An emperor is not a title an ordinary person can bear!
Those without the mandate of heaven who presumptuously call themselves emperors will surely suffer calamity.
Feng Zichen, born with the mandate of heaven, possesses the destiny of a Heavenly Emperor, is a Radiant Soul Treasure, and is the Lord of the Stars.
He has rendered great service to humanity and the primordial world.
Given his status, let alone the title of Human Emperor, he could easily sit on the throne of Heavenly Emperor, the Lord of the Primordial World.
Indeed, the current strength of humanity in the primordial world is insignificant, completely unworthy of attention, and not even considered a threat by the innate races.
If Feng Zichen were to become the Human Emperor, it would be a clear injustice in the eyes of the great supernatural beings. The current human race is simply unworthy of Feng Zichen's status.
A supreme figure of great wisdom, great merit, and great perseverance, a true descendant of Pangu, the Sword Ancestor of the Primordial World, is not someone a small acquired race can support.
Feng Zichen's world is in the boundless primordial world!
When Kunpeng persuaded Feng Zichen to join the Heavenly Court, he hinted that if he agreed, the positions of the nine Heavenly Lords would be vacant.
This was no joke. If Feng Zichen truly agreed,
Dijun, Taiyi, Fuxi, and others would certainly appear together, accompanied by the Zhou Tian Demon God, to personally welcome him into the Heavenly Court with the highest honors outside the Southern Heavenly Gate, as a sign of their high regard.
The remaining five Heavenly Lord positions would be entirely at Feng Zichen's disposal.
If Dijun were stingy with even one Heavenly Lord position and casually assigned Feng Zichen a sinecure, even before Feng Zichen could say anything, all the great supernatural beings of the prehistoric world would be outraged and would relentlessly criticize Dijun.
After all, his status was now different. He was no longer a post-natal being, less than an ant, but a supreme descendant of Pangu, a primordial deity. He had become one of the great supernatural beings, incomparably noble.
No one in this world could disrespect him, much less insult him. Otherwise, Heaven and Earth will surely react, diminishing his fortune and severing his blessings as punishment.
The Celestial Realm is composed of nine heavens, distributed according to the nine palaces. Each heaven is countless times larger than the Great Thousand World, truly vast and boundless.
Controlling a Great Thousand World instantly grants one the title of Great Luo Golden Immortal. If one becomes the Celestial Lord, fully controlling the origin of a heaven, their strength will rise to a level comparable to a Quasi-Saint at the Great Perfection.
Compared to the current Human Emperor's position, this is immeasurably stronger.
Therefore, if the great supernatural beings of the Primordial World knew that Feng Zichen had become the Human Emperor, they would surely sigh, feeling that the human race had delayed him.
After all, if one truly calculates, the fortune of the Innate Sword Dao, the fortune of the Divine Demon Path, the fortune of the Pangu lineage, and the fortune of the World Tree— Feng Zichen's fortune alone already surpasses that of the human race.
Becoming the Human Emperor not only brings him no benefit, but he is actually using his own fortune to benefit the human race, making them stronger.
Isn't this sacrificing oneself for the sake of humanity?
Developing power is about gathering the fortune of heaven and earth to accelerate one's cultivation. If one is burdened by power and it hinders one's cultivation, then such power is better left unused!
Di Jun, Taiyi, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches failed to see this, which is why they were burdened by the Witch and Demon races. Unable to extricate themselves in time, they were forced to launch the Witch-Demon War, leading to their own demise.
Now, Feng Zichen also seems to be failing to see this, attempting to use his own fortune to replenish the fortune of humanity. In the eyes of the great supernatural beings, this is utterly foolish.
Fortune is the supreme treasure of the primordial world, the fuse for great calamities. Everyone desires it but cannot obtain it; no one complains of having too much, only that it is insufficient.
Feng Zichen is going against this principle—how foolish is that?
Of course, this is only the opinion of the great supernatural beings; Feng Zichen is certainly not foolish.
Currently, he possesses too much fortune, almost reaching the point of reversal and decline after reaching its peak.
Once the Heavenly Dao changes and the universe reverses,
His immense destiny will instantly transform into a death warrant, summoning countless calamities and bringing Him to the brink of death, with His demise always imminent.
By replenishing His destiny to humanity, He not only settles the karmic ties between Him and humanity but also deepens His influence on humanity, strengthening its power.
It's a triple win!
The increase in humanity's destiny will naturally lead to the emergence of more powerful figures, making humanity stronger and more profound.
And strengthening humanity's destiny will surely earn His gratitude, further expanding Feng Zichen's influence over Him.
Perhaps it's not apparent now, but when humanity becomes the protagonist of the world, and its destiny skyrockets, the benefits Feng Zichen receives will be immeasurable.
When Feng Zichen is crowned Emperor, His position in humanity will not only be completely solidified but will also receive an unprecedented elevation.
His divine image will be eternally etched into humanity's destiny, witnessing the rise and fall of humanity. His status will surpass that of Suirenshi, reaching a level comparable to Nuwa.
At that time, if any sage wishes to control the fate of humanity, they will inevitably have to bypass Feng Zichen and obtain his consent before interfering in human affairs.
Otherwise, if a sage intervenes without his permission, everyone except Nuwa will incur karmic retribution.
Karma must be repaid!
...
More importantly, Feng Zichen previously used the fate of humanity to temporarily gain the power of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, thus incurring karmic debt.
This experience completely resolves his karmic ties with humanity, putting his mind at ease.
It should be understood that only by truly achieving a state of perfect unity, becoming flawless and pure, and resolving all karmic debts, can one break free from the river of time and space and become a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Logically, this is something only a quasi-sage would consider; Feng Zichen, a mere Great Luo Golden Immortal, is not qualified to consider such matters.
However, He attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm in the Great Chaos beyond the boundary, which prevented Him from reaching the Quasi-Saint realm. After the Great Luo, comes the Primordial Dao Realm.
Now, He needs to prepare for breaking through to the Primordial Dao Realm.
Indeed, Hongjun truly deserves the title of Dao Ancestor. The Quasi-Saint realm He established based on the primordial world is a transitional stage from the Great Luo Golden Immortal to the Primordial Dao Realm, possessing unparalleled mysteries.
Compared to directly breaking through to the Primordial Dao Realm from the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, becoming a Quasi-Saint and then breaking through, it is undoubtedly much simpler.
Based on this alone, Hongjun's title of Dao Ancestor is well-deserved!
…
After an unknown amount of time, suddenly, billions of purple-gold rays of light burst forth from the location of the Qiankun Cauldron, illuminating the chaos in a purple-gold hue, a truly wondrous sight.
Rumble!
At this moment, from the depths of the chaos, countless Daoist principles manifested, surging towards this place and falling into the Qiankun Cauldron.
However, Heaven, sensing the imminent birth of the Human Emperor, specially bestowed a power to aid Him in completing His final transformation, ultimately making Him a primordial being.
