Chapter 160: Human heart is the will of heaven, Hou Tu finally achieves enlightenment

When the ancient Shinto collapsed, the imperial authority was also split. The imperial authority was divided into four: the Emperor of Heaven who rules the sky, the Emperor of Earth who rules the earth, the Emperor of Ziwei who rules the stars, and the Emperor of Gou Chen who rules the gods. They are also the four most precious gods in heaven.

During the heyday of the demon clan's heaven, all four powers were in their possession. Di Jun was the Emperor of Heaven, Nuwa was the Emperor of Earth, Donghuang Taiyi was the Emperor of Ziwei, and Fuxi was the Emperor of Gou Chen. The four emperors jointly dominated the vast world and were above all the demons, respectively ruling over the heavens, the earth, the stars, and the gods.

Unfortunately……

The ambition to transform all living things into demons ultimately failed. The demon clan suffered losses in the struggle with the witch clan, and the four powers fell into a state of no one in control...until Haotian received the order from Hongjun Daozu to become the new Heavenly Emperor and rebuild the Heavenly Palace. Only then did the Heavenly Emperor's powers have a master.

But to date, the authority of the Emperor of Earth, the Emperor of Ziwei, and the Emperor of Gou Chen is still unheld. One reason is that there are very few qualified great masters with supernatural powers, and the other is that the seal that symbolizes authority has been lost.

Now, Haotian uses the authority of the Emperor of Heaven to help Houtu condense the Dao Fruit of the Emperor of Earth. Shennong voluntarily gives up part of the authority that belongs to the Emperor of Earth. In addition, Di Jun gives him the seal of the Emperor of Earth that originally belonged to Nuwa, as well as the recognition of many powerful people. It is enough to make Houtu the new Emperor of Earth.

"Emperor of the Earth!"

The brilliant divine light illuminates the void and radiates to all worlds. After being recognized by more and more powerful people, the Dao Fruit of the Earth Emperor has become extremely solid.

even……

It is even more powerful than when Nuwa held the power of the Emperor of Earth.

Han Yi looked at this scene, also thoughtful.

In later mythology, there are the concepts of Four Imperial Gods and Six Imperial Gods. The Four Imperial Gods are the Jade Emperor who rules over all the heavens, the Gou Chen Emperor who rules over all the gods, the Zi Wei Emperor who rules over all the stars, and Hou Tu Huang Di Ji who rules over all the earth.

The Six Emperors were established on the basis of the Four Emperors, with the addition of two more emperors: the Qinghua Emperor who controls all spirits, and the Changsheng Emperor who controls all thunders.

The Qinghua Emperor, also known as Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun, is played by Taiyi Zhenren of the Chan sect.

The Great Emperor of Longevity, also known as the Jade Pure True King, is ranked first among the Nine Emperors of the Divine Sky and is held by the Nan Ji Xian Weng of the Chanjiao.

therefore……

Han Yi guessed that it might be that Yuanshi Tianzun took advantage of the opportunity of the Conferred God Ceremony to forcibly divide the imperial authority again, thus turning the original Four Emperors into Six Emperors.

"I, Yinglong, am willing to represent the dragon clan and honor Taoist Hou Tu as the Emperor of the Earth. I ask the Heavenly Dao to bear witness to this!"

"I, Xuanniao, would like to represent the Phoenix Clan and honor Taoist Hou Tu as the Emperor of the Earth. Please judge by the Heavenly Dao!"

After several great masters expressed their opinions, Yinglong and Xuanniao also spoke up on behalf of the dragon and phoenix clans, and the Earth Emperor Dao Fruit became more and more solid.

"interesting!"

Master Tongtian, who was far away in the chaos, saw this scene and couldn't help but laugh and said, "It seems that it is everyone's wish for Brother Hou Tu to become the Emperor of the Earth!"

He had thought about helping Hou Tu to condense the Dao Fruit of the Earth Emperor before, but he only communicated with Haotian and Fuxi, hoping that they would recognize Hou Tu's identity as the Earth Emperor.

As for the statements made by Zhen Yuanzi, Du'e Zhenren, the Dragon and Phoenix clans, and other people with great supernatural powers, they were spontaneous and had nothing to do with Tongtian Jiaozhu.

Perhaps, they also want to take this opportunity to test a few saints, test the trend of the way of heaven, and change the fixed order of the current prehistoric world.

Change means smooth flow, while no change means obstruction.

Change brings prosperity, while consistency brings decline.

Change means life, while no change means death.

Ever since the saints attained enlightenment, the great calamity between wizards and liches came to an end, and the human race became the protagonists of heaven and earth, the ancient world has been like a stagnant pool of water, unable to stir up any major waves.

This is naturally a good thing for the saint who dominates the fate of all creatures in the world.

but……

For those powerful people who are ambitious and dissatisfied with the status quo, several saints of the Heavenly Dao are undoubtedly shackles on them.

If one wants to change this status quo, new variables must be introduced, and Hou Tu has now become the big rock that is thrown into stagnant water by everyone.

Among the Wu Clan, Xing Tian, ​​who was holding a Gan Qi and had lost his head, saw that the Earth Emperor Dao Fruit helped Hou Tu stabilize the road of reincarnation, and he couldn't help but say: "I, Xing Tian, ​​am willing to represent the Wu Clan and respect Hou Tu, the ancestor of the Wu clan, as the Earth Emperor!"

In the land of Beiming, a voice also rang out: "I, Kunpeng, am willing to honor fellow Taoist Hou Tu as the Emperor of the Earth in the name of the Demon Master and on behalf of the Demon Clan!"

"Kunpeng!" Upon hearing this, the demon saint Shang Yang revealed his true form and roared, "You traitor, how can you represent our demon race?"

Kunpeng did not answer.

Bai Ze, on the other hand, looked at the sea of ​​blood with deep meaning, then at several saints' dojos, and said, "This is the general trend! These guys who spoke up may not really want Hou Tu to become the emperor of the earth. But... since they want to test the waters and test a few saints, there is no one more suitable than Hou Tu!"

Hou Tu is a descendant of Pangu and has great merits in evolution and reincarnation. Even a saint does not dare to kill her, and her cultivation is infinitely close to that of a saint.

The statements made by the human race, dragon race, phoenix race, witch race, demon race, and a group of powerful people undoubtedly represent the opinions of the majority of creatures in the prehistoric world.

"I, the Nine Spirits Primordial Saint, am willing to represent the Primordial Lion Clan and honor Fellow Daoist Hou Tu as the Emperor of the Earth!"

"I, the Queen Mother of the West, would like to represent the female immortals of West Kunlun to honor Taoist Hou Tu as the Emperor of the Earth!"

More and more people with great supernatural powers spoke up and expressed their attitudes, and an endless stream of luck continued to converge towards Hou Tu's Earth Emperor Dao Fruit.

Some people who were not clear about the situation and did not know the meaning of the Earth Emperor also followed suit blindly after seeing so many powerful masters express their opinions. Anyway...

It shouldn’t be a bad thing since so many powerful people have spoken up.

However, in a short moment, in this vast ancient world, the only ones with a certain influence were a few saintly sects and the Qilin clan who had not expressed their opinions.

After the Longhan catastrophe, the Qilin clan had completely declined. Even the four-legged beasts, the descendants of the former first Qilin, had become mounts of Yuanshi Tianzun, but it did not have much impact.

What many people with great supernatural powers want to see is the attitudes of several saints of the Heavenly Dao.

“Hahaha!” Patriarch Tongtian laughed loudly. His voice traveled through billions of spaces and came from the endless chaos, resounding throughout the entire prehistoric world: “I, Tongtian, am willing to represent the Jiejiao and respect fellow Taoist Hou Tu as the Emperor of the Earth!”

"Those who seize the opportunity will live, and those who miss the opportunity will die. Fellow Daoist Hou Tu is the one that everyone hopes to support. Tai Qing and Yuan Shi, the two of you should stop going against the trend of Heaven!"

"To know……"

"A saint does not go against heaven, and if you go against heaven, you are not a saint!"

To a certain extent, human hearts are the trend of Heaven's Way. When people's hearts are united, Mount Tai can be moved and Heaven's Way can be changed. In the face of the opinions of so many living beings, even Heaven's Way, which dominates the fate of all beings, must make concessions. This is why Yuanshi Tianzun has always wanted to replace Heaven's heart with his own.

Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun frowned and said nothing. They would naturally not admit to something that went against the will of heaven, but it was also impossible for them to support Hou Tu to become the Emperor of the Earth.

Nuwa is in a special situation now and has no intention of intervening in the matter or expressing any opinions.

after all……

Fuxi has expressed his opinion.

Whether she supports or opposes it, it is not a good choice.

Supporting will offend Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun, while opposing will offend Tongtian Jiaozhu and Fuxi, as well as those great masters who have expressed their opinions.

Therefore, she chose to remain silent.

On the contrary, the Taoist Jie Yin was very open-minded. Seeing that the situation was already determined, he chuckled and said immediately: "Adding icing on the cake may not be as good as sending charcoal in the snow, but I... have always been willing to help others! In this case, I, Jie Yin, am willing to represent the Western Religion and respect Taoist Hou Tu as the Emperor of the Earth. I hope that the Heavenly Dao will bear witness to it!"

Upon hearing this, Taoist Zhunti quickly echoed, "I think so too. I, Zhunti, would like to represent all sentient beings in the West and honor Taoist Hou Tu as the Emperor of the Earth!"

The Taiyi Golden Immortal concluded the timeline, while the Daluo Golden Immortal could represent part of God's will. After the vast majority of the Daluo Golden Immortals, those with great supernatural powers, and the three saints expressed their opinions, the Way of Heaven suddenly poured towards Hou Tu, changing the original trend of the collapse of the Great Way of Reincarnation.

even……

The Heavenly Dao also sent down some of its power to help Hou Tu and to spread the path of reincarnation throughout the entire prehistoric world.

"The Tao is established by time, and the truth is created by heaven!" In Zixiao Palace, Daoist Patriarch Hongjun opened his eyes after a long period of closure and whispered, "It seems that Hou Tu's opportunity has arrived!"

When good luck comes, heaven and earth are on your side; when bad luck is gone, heroes are helpless. Infinite and great power is bestowed on Hou Tu, causing the path of reincarnation to begin to transform continuously.

Fate and cause and effect meet here, the thoughts of all living beings merge into it, and the vast river of time and space begins to deviate from its original trajectory at this moment.

"Reincarnation!"

Above the endless sky, time and space create oneness, the way of heaven seems to be stagnant. The phantoms of the Golden Immortals stand above the long river of time and space, dropping infinite divine light, and together they protect Hou Tu.

The path of reincarnation runs through the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, the heavens and the earth, and the cause and effect destiny of all living beings.

The Dao Fruit of the Emperor of Earth began to sublime to the utmost, merging with Hou Tu's Dao of Reincarnation and Dao of Earth, giving birth to a fruit position that was no less than that of a saint of Heaven.

A genuine saint!

A flash of enlightenment flashed through the minds of many great masters in the prehistoric times.

Ping Xin of the past was just an incomplete saint, just like the four spirits in heaven, with some saintly characteristics but not the complete saintly status.

"more than……"

Pingxin opened her eyes and looked at the sea of ​​blood. "I thought that Hou Tu couldn't let go of the Wu Clan, and she would never have the hope of achieving the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian in this life! But I didn't expect... so many prehistoric creatures hoped that she would achieve the Dao, so as to change the general situation and inject new variables into the unchanging future!"

"Hou Tu is not Ping Xin, Ping Xin is not Hou Tu either, but I was born because of you after all, and somewhere along the way, I owe you a huge karma!"

"In that case..."

"Then I'll give you a helping hand!"

In the netherworld, Lady Pingxin manifested her Dharma image, and the road of reincarnation ran through it all the time. A beam of immortal reincarnation spiritual light flew out from the depths of her brows, crossed the endless space, and merged into Hou Tu's body: "I, Pingxin, am willing to represent the underworld and respect Hou Tu as the emperor of the earth! In order to settle the cause and effect of the past creation, from now on, Pingxin is Pingxin, and Hou Tu is Hou Tu!"

boom!
The part of the reincarnation authority belonging to Pingxin was immediately combined with the reincarnation authority held by Houtu, causing Houtu's reincarnation path to transform again, running through all things in heaven and earth, all living beings in the universe, and creating immortality. While making her a genuine saint, she also achieved the Dao fruit of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian.

Through the way of reincarnation, he achieved the status of Emperor of Earth, evolved into a genuine saint, and attained the status of the Immortal of Great Luo, which immediately shocked all living beings in the prehistoric world.

Flowers fell from the sky, golden lotuses sprouted from the ground, and endless strange visions emerged from the void.

From then on, there was another saint in the ancient world who dominated the fate of all living beings.
