Chapter 242 The Birth of the Human King
The power of incense and prayers, originating from the beautiful blessings in the hearts of all beings, is a magical force, another manifestation of the great power of humanity, sharing the same origin as humanity itself.
The imperial court that Feng Zichen intends to establish is not a human imperial court, but a humanistic imperial court—this is His ambition. Unable to become the Human Emperor, He will build a city that embodies humanity.
In this way, as the vessel of humanity, the human imperial court will inevitably become a supreme treasure of humanity with immense power.
Feng Zichen will not remain with the human race forever. After the Lich War ends, He will become the Ziwei Emperor, personally overseeing the boundless void, participating in the grand scheme of the primordial world.
Using heaven and earth as the chessboard, and all beings as the pieces, He will calculate the past and future. He will fight against great supernatural beings, against saints, against heaven and earth, forging his own legend and embarking on the path to enlightenment.
This humanistic imperial court is the legacy He prepared for the human race, intended to protect the human race's inheritance after His departure.
"Come!"
His hands formed seals rapidly, and mysterious runes flew from his hands, continuously merging into the surrounding void, causing a strange tremor to emanate from all around.
At the same time, Feng Zichen suddenly became sacred, his majesty inviolable, like a supreme god-king looking down upon all living beings.
"Rumble!"
Without any warning, the surrounding void suddenly shattered, and a vast sea of incense and vow power surged from all corners of the primordial world, boundless and engulfing the area.
If this were not the ancestral temple of the human race, protected by the holy power of Nuwa, the entire hall would likely have been destroyed by the impact of this incense and vow power.
This incense and vow power did not originate from the human race, but from the three primordial races and the myriad races of the primordial world.
Otherwise, where would Feng Zichen, who had just exhausted the incense and vow power accumulated by the human race over many years, have produced so much incense and vow power?
Even if the incense and vow power of the human race alone were not exhausted, it would be far from enough to refine the Human Dao Imperial Court.
Moreover, the Human Path governs all spirits; a royal court crafted solely with human power can only belong to the Human Path, not the Human Way itself.
With Feng Zichen's actions, the incense and prayer power surged forth even more, obscuring the surroundings into a vast, indistinct blur.
As the ancestor of the Incense and Prayer Path, Feng Zichen naturally possessed the ability to mobilize incense and prayer power.
Furthermore, with this title, regardless of who the people worshipped, Feng Zichen would receive a share of the incense and prayer power generated.
The ancestor of a Path is indeed extraordinary.
Otherwise, so many powerful beings wouldn't strive for the position of Dao Ancestor.
In any case, as far as Feng Zichen knew, in later generations, all powerful beings were titled something like "Ancestor," without exception.
This demonstrates the importance of an ancestor.
"Suiren Lamp, refine it for me!"
With a thought, Feng Zichen summoned the Suiren Lamp's true form from within the Human Path's fortune.
Instantly, countless flames bloomed, carrying the immense power of humanity, burning towards the boundless incense and vows.
This was the torch of civilization, a legacy of humankind, its flame unbroken, its flame never extinguished.
Under the burning torch, the incense and vows were continuously refined, wisps of colorful mist rising, carrying a mesmerizing allure.
The seven emotions and six desires!
Feng Zichen, who had almost suffered a loss in this regard, was extremely sensitive to it. He quickly took out the Red Dust Mirror, tossed it into the void, and let it float, absorbing all the rising energy of the seven emotions and six desires.
As the energy of the seven emotions and six desires was absorbed by the Red Dust Mirror, what remained were pieces of colorless crystal radiating sacred energy… These were the materials Feng Zichen planned to use to forge the Humanity Imperial Court.
He used incense crystals as bricks to construct a colossal city. If such a divine city, built with the power of all living beings, couldn't bear the immense power of humanity, what else in the primordial world could?
Fortunately, Feng Zichen could mobilize the incense and vows of the entire primordial world; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to forge this Humanity Imperial Court.
While the human race seemed numerous, in the grand scheme of the primordial world, they were insignificant. Compared to the demon race, even the nearby aquatic creatures outnumbered humans countless times.
It was only because the shores of the East Sea were so small that the human population appeared somewhat excessive.
It was precisely because he had incense and vows countless times greater than those of the human race supporting him that Feng Zichen conceived the idea of forging the Humanity Imperial Court and took action.
Otherwise, why would he risk everything to forge it by dreaming?
"Unfortunately, Shouyang Mountain is the future Daoist abode of the Taiqing Sage, and I cannot touch it."
"Otherwise, I could directly relocate the human race there as a new habitat for them to thrive."
Suddenly, Feng Zichen thought of Shouyang Mountain and said with some regret.
Compared to the shores of the East Sea, Shouyang Mountain is undoubtedly more suitable for the development of the human race. It is blessed by nature, with abundant innate energy, beautiful mountains and rivers, all exuding spiritual energy.
Of course, more importantly, it is large enough to accommodate even dozens of times more humans.
Not only that, but Shouyang Mountain is also connected to the central part of the prehistoric world, which is very important for the human race to broaden their experience and horizons.
Many innate races also live there. If the human race were to go there, they would face a survival crisis and would no longer be as peaceful as the shores of the East Sea.
Constant fighting would surely inspire the fighting spirit of the human race, giving birth to powerful warriors and even kings, to protect the human race.
Unfortunately, Shouyang Mountain was the Daoist site chosen by Heaven for the Taiqing Saint, and no matter how much Feng Zichen coveted it, he dared not lay a finger on it.
Therefore, in utter desperation, Feng Zichen frantically racked his brains to find a place for humanity to live, which led him to the method of refining the Human Dao Imperial Court.
…
While Feng Zichen was in seclusion refining the Human Dao Imperial Court, the positions of Human Kings were also chosen.
In Yi City, Yi Angshi was gazing at Shouyang Mountain when he suddenly saw golden light rushing towards him. Just as he was about to defend himself, the golden light merged into his body.
Instantly, the aura of a Great Luo Golden Immortal rose from Yi Angshi, shaking the surrounding area.
But the changes didn't stop there.
Golden light radiated from Yi Angshi's body, dazzlingly brilliant, making him appear incredibly majestic—this was the aura of a Human King!
At this moment, Yi Angshi became a Human King, ruling over a vast territory, controlling the lives of countless people, and revered by humanity.
In the Seven Luminaries Continent, the Youyu clan was in seclusion when suddenly golden light appeared and surged into his body, elevating his cultivation to the Great Luo Golden Immortal level.
In Hongcheng, the Great Hong clan, the third-generation leader of the human race, received the Human King's position while resting, achieving the Great Luo Golden Immortal level.
In Licheng, the Great Li clan, the fifth-generation leader of the human race, received the Human King's position during a great battle, instantly becoming a Great Luo Golden Immortal and killing his enemy.
On the shores of the East Sea, the Great Ting clan, the eighth-generation leader of the human race, merged with the Human King's position while paying homage to the heroes of the human race, becoming the Human King.
