NOVEL NEXT Chapter 420: Choice—Demon Clan or Human Clan?
Upon hearing Emperor Jun of the Demon Clan's inquiry, both Nuwa Saint and Emperor Fuxi were momentarily stunned.
They had considered selecting an exceptionally talented creature from the Human Race, supporting Fu Xi to make them the emperor of the Human Clan, thereby allowing Fu Xi to amass immense fortune and enhance his cultivation realm.
If no such creature could be found, the majesty of the Heavenly Court could appoint a Human Clan emperor, who Fu Xi would then take as a disciple, teaching them how to be the emperor of the Human Clan and solve the problems currently faced.
However, they had never considered letting Fu Xi himself become the emperor of the Human Clan, or even thought of selecting a suitable creature from another race to be the emperor of the Human Clan.
Is it appropriate for the emperor of the Human Clan to come from another race?
Would their interests align with those of the Human Clan?
If Fu Xi wishes to progress further, it must be accompanied by the flourishing of the Human Clan. If the selected emperor cannot lead the Human Clan to greater prosperity and instead causes its decline, Fu Xi would inevitably be affected.
At best, his cultivation realm would stagnate; at worst, it would regress, never advancing again in eternity.
Now, hearing Emperor Jun's words, Fu Xi looked at Emperor Jun of the Demon Clan in surprise, instinctively asking aloud.
"Me? Become the emperor of the Human Clan?"
Emperor Jun of the Demon Clan nodded slightly, speaking calmly: "You currently understand the problems of the Human Clan most deeply and cannot find a suitable candidate. Is it not most appropriate for you to become the emperor of the Human Clan?"
Fu Xi observed Emperor Jun's calm demeanor, sensing that the Demon Emperor was unaware of how shocking his words were.
However, after her initial shock, Nuwa Saint turned her gaze to her own brother, seriously contemplating the possibility.
The more she thought, the more Nuwa Saint felt that Emperor Jun's words seemed correct. Her own brother could see the problems within the Human Clan and naturally could handle them.
This is clearer and more convenient than teaching another creature to understand and solve the various problems within the Human Clan one by one.
Moreover, in such a situation, her brother leading the Human Clan to prosperity as their emperor would naturally allow him to gain deeper fortune and ascend further in his cultivation realm.
If the Heavenly Dao favors the Human Clan sufficiently, with the Human Clan's prosperity and greater fortune, her brother might even aspire to the position of Saint.
Seeing his sister deep in thought, Fu Xi couldn't help but contemplate the matter himself.
He asked himself sincerely, if he were to become the emperor of the Human Clan, could he manage the relationships among the various tribes and handle the various forces behind them?
Could he lead the Human Clan to become stronger and more prosperous?
Fu Xi's mind was flooded with the multitude of problems within the Human Clan, and his eyes revealed a sharp determination.
The answer was affirmative. As a Great Power who has lived through endless ages, witnessing the Demon Clan's rise to strength under Emperor Jun's leadership and the countless races' prosperity and decline, he naturally had the confidence to handle the Human Clan's current problems.
Moreover, just as Nuwa Saint thought, Fu Xi realized that becoming the emperor himself would yield far greater rewards than training a Human Clan emperor.
This shift in Fu Xi's mindset led to a change in his demeanor.
Emperor Jun of the Demon Clan and Nuwa Saint both understood this at that moment.
Emperor Fuxi (his brother) was moved.
Emperor Jun of the Demon Clan also thought: Next, it is time to address the issues Fu Xi is facing.
As a member of the Demon Clan, Fu Xi becoming the emperor of the Human Clan is not a matter of simply receiving approval from the Human Clan's Holy Mother and the Master of Dharma to then become the emperor and solve their problems.
At this moment, Nuwa Saint also realized this issue, and her brows furrowed slightly as she considered solutions.
Envisioning the scenario, Fu Xi subconsciously activated his mana to calculate matters related to his future.
Emperor Jun of the Demon Clan sensed the fluctuation of the Heavenly Mechanism, cast his gaze upon Fu Xi, and saw the phenomenon reflected in Fu Xi, mirroring the Primordial World.
Di Jun felt a very familiar sensation, resembling the various aspects within the River Map and Luo Book.
Innate Eight Diagrams!
Di Jun suddenly recalled the legend from a previous life in which Fu Xi created the Innate Eight Diagrams based on the River Map and Luo Book.
Or rather, the phenomenon on Fu Xi's body was the embryonic form of the Innate Eight Diagrams, still in a crude stage.
However, this crudeness did not necessarily imply that Fu Xi was not proficient in this path, but rather that it was not conducive to dissemination.
Due to its crudeness, only Fu Xi could understand the intricacies within it, while others might find it difficult to comprehend or learn.
Di Jun did not interrupt Fu Xi's behavior; he was also curious about this embryonic Eight Diagrams and quietly followed Fu Xi's deductions, exploring the mysteries within.
It didn't take long before Emperor Jun of the Demon Clan comprehended the essence of the Innate Eight Diagrams, and what he was capable of calculating surpassed Fu Xi both in quantity and depth.
However, what he used could no longer be called the Innate Eight Diagrams, as he had incorporated many of his own understandings of the Dao into it.
As Fu Xi continued his deductions, his brows knitted tighter and tighter.
