Chapter 93: Fuxi Sheds His Demonic Roots and Enters Humanity; The Human Emperor Does Not Go to the Fire Cloud Cave
After Fuxi became the Emperor of the Human Race, Xuan Chu made Fuxi make a choice: whether to be the Emperor of the Human Race or the Emperor Xi of the Demon Race. This put Fuxi in a dilemma. At the critical moment, Nuwa made the choice for Fuxi. From now on, Fuxi would be the Emperor of the Human Race, no longer the Emperor Xi of the Demon Race. This meant that from now on, Fuxi would have no relation to the Demon Race.
"Sister?" Fuxi looked at Nuwa with a puzzled expression. He didn't understand why Nuwa wanted him to give up the demon race.
Nuwa couldn't explain it to Fuxi immediately, so she simply nodded to him, indicating that Fuxi agreed to her suggestion.
After struggling internally for a long time, Fuxi decided to heed Nuwa's advice, because he believed that Nuwa would never harm him. So he raised his head, looked at Xuan Chu, and said, "Xuan Chu Daozun, from now on, there will only be the Human Emperor Fuxi, and there will be no more Demon Emperor Fuxi."
"Very good, Fuxi, you will be glad you made this choice today." Seeing that Fuxi had made the right choice, Xuan Chu nodded in satisfaction and said.
"Emperor Fuxi, now that you have attained the Dao and become the Human Emperor, the human race is no longer a place for you to linger. Fellow Daoist Hongjun has decreed that after the Human Emperor returns to the throne, all must go to the Fire Cloud Cave to cultivate in seclusion and suppress the human race's fortune. You must not go out lightly unless necessary." At this moment, Taishang spoke.
"What!" The Supreme One's words shocked everyone present except for Xuan Chu. In the future, the Human Emperor will be cultivating in seclusion in the Fire Cloud Cave and will not be allowed to leave unless necessary. Isn't this a way of imprisoning the Human Emperor?
Xuan Chu, standing to the side, understood perfectly. The Human Emperor's seclusion in the Fire Cloud Cave was nothing more than a means employed by the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun to control the human race. The Fire Cloud Cave was originally Hong Yun's Daoist practice ground. After Hong Yun's fall, the Fire Cloud Cave was hidden by the Heavenly Dao, so that after the Human Emperor returned to power, the Fire Cloud Cave could be used to create a cage for the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Once the Human Emperor entered the Fire Cloud Cave, he would not be able to leave without the Heavenly Dao's permission. If the Human Emperor, who suppressed the human race's fortune, was controlled by the Heavenly Dao, it was equivalent to the human race being controlled by the Heavenly Dao.
"Senior Brother, when did Master say such a thing? Could it be that Senior Brother is falsely conveying Master's decree?" Nuwa said to Taishang with an unfriendly expression. Nuwa remembered very well that when Hongjun arranged the teacher of the Human Emperor, he did not say such a thing. Could it be that Taishang is falsely conveying Hongjun's decree? That would be too audacious.
"Junior Sister Nuwa, stop talking nonsense." Taishang lost face instantly after being questioned by Nuwa in public. He was the senior disciple of Xuanmen and the head of all saints. Even if Nuwa had doubts about his words, she should not say them in public. Wasn't this making him lose face?
Taishang said with a stern face, "Junior Sister Nuwa, this is what our teacher ordered. I dare not falsely convey our teacher's decree. If Junior Sister Nuwa does not believe me, Junior Sister Zixiao Palace is well-known. You can go and ask our teacher yourself."
"Hmph!" Nuwa didn't reply, only snorted coldly. However, Nuwa didn't go to Zixiao Palace. Nuwa knew very well that this must be Hongjun's intention, because even if Taishang had ten thousand lives, he wouldn't dare to falsely convey the imperial decree. The questioning just now was only because he was surprised and hadn't figured it out yet. Even if she went to Zixiao Palace, the result wouldn't change.
"Supreme One!" Xuan Chu said at this moment, "The Human Emperor is, after all, the embodiment of the human race's destiny, and should remain among the human race, not go to some Fire Cloud Cave."
The Heavenly Dao wants to control the human race, and Xuan Chu certainly won't agree to that. He's done so much just to be able to contend with the Heavenly Dao and Xuanmen among the human race. If the Human Emperor goes to the Fire Cloud Cave and the Heavenly Dao controls the human race's fortune, what's the point of Xuan Chu playing around?
Xuan Chu's words rekindled hope for the human race. They certainly didn't want to see the Human Emperor imprisoned in the Fire Cloud Cave, but the human race was weak and had no room to resist the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun. However, Xuan Chu was different. Xuan Chu was an equal to Hongjun, and his disciple Houtu controlled the Earthly Dao, which was enough to contend with the Heavenly Dao. With Xuan Chu backing them up, the human race could say no to the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun.
"Dao Zun, this is Master's will, I'm afraid it won't work." Xuan Chu disagreed, which put Tai Shang in a difficult position. After all, this was the will of Heaven and Hong Jun, and he had no choice but to carry it out, but Tai Shang couldn't afford to offend Xuan Chu.
"What is Hongjun!" Xuan Chu said with a look of disdain, "Even if Hongjun were here, with me here, he wouldn't be able to take the Human Emperor away."
"This..." Taishang was a bit of a headache. Xuan Chu was not afraid of Hongjun. Not to mention Hongjun, even the Heavenly Dao was not in Xuan Chu's eyes. With Xuan Chu around, Taishang had no way to carry out Hongjun's decree.
"Daoist Master, Senior Brother Taishang, please calm down. This is, after all, a matter concerning the human race. Why not let the human race decide for themselves?" Nuwa quickly said, seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward. Since this was a matter concerning the human race, then the human race should decide for themselves.
"Supreme Lord, what do you think?" Xuan Chu thought Nuwa's suggestion was excellent, and Xuan Chu also believed that the human race would not want the Emperor to go to the Fire Cloud Cave, after all, who doesn't want freedom?
"Very well, let's do as Junior Sister Nuwa says and let the human race choose for themselves." Taishang sighed and said, in fact, he could already foresee the outcome.
"Fuxi, Suiren, you have both heard this. You must decide for yourselves whether the Human Emperor should go to the Fire Cloud Cave. Remember, this is your only chance to choose. Once you make a choice, it cannot be changed," Xuan Chu said.
Fuxi and Suiren looked at each other in bewilderment. Finally, Suiren said, "Emperor Fuxi, you are the Human Emperor, and the human race reveres you. You shall decide."
Suiren handed over the decision-making power to Fuxi. Firstly, Fuxi was now the Human Emperor and the sovereign of the human race, so it was reasonable for Fuxi to decide the future of the human race. Secondly, Suiren was not the Human Emperor, so even if he was imprisoned in Huoyun Cave, it was not his place to do so. These matters should be left to Fuxi to worry about.
"This..." Fuxi did not expect that Suiren would hand over this hot potato to him. Fuxi had no reason to deal with it. After all, he was the Human Emperor, and it was his responsibility to make the decision.
Fuxi looked at Xuan Chu, Nuwa, and Taishang in turn. Their expressions were different. Although Xuan Chu looked indifferent, his eyes still hoped that the human race could fight back. Nuwa's eyes encouraged Fuxi. Nuwa did not want her brother to be imprisoned in the Fire Cloud Cave in the future, but she could not defy the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun. Now that Xuan Chu was backing her up, Nuwa hoped that Fuxi could try. As for Taishang, his eyes were filled with helplessness and a hint of threat.
Fuxi lowered his head, his heart filled with a fierce struggle. After a long while, Fuxi raised his head and looked at Xuan Chu, Tai Shang, and Nuwa, and said, "Fuxi believes that the Human Emperor should sit in the Human Race, protect the Human Race, and suppress the Human Race's fortune. Therefore, Fuxi believes that the Human Emperor should not go to the Fire Cloud Cave, but should sit in the Human Race's Holy Temple."
"Hahaha!" Upon hearing Fuxi's words, Xuan Chu burst into laughter. Unknowingly, he had once again thwarted the Heavenly Dao's conspiracy. This time, by supporting the human race, he was able to leave a good impression on them. On the contrary, since the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun wanted to imprison the Human Emperor, how could the human race possibly have any goodwill towards them?
"Fuxi, you are very good. Since that's the case, then from now on, the Human Emperor will reside in the Holy Temple of the Human Race, suppressing the human race's fortune and protecting the human race." After saying this, Xuan Chu looked at Taishang and said, "Taishang, now you should know how to report back to Hongjun, right?"
"Rest assured, Daoist Master, since the human race has made its decision, I will not make things difficult for you. I still need to go to Zixiao Palace to report to my teacher, so I will not stay any longer." The Supreme One looked ashen-faced. He had failed to complete the mission of Heaven and Hongjun this time, and he did not know what kind of punishment he would receive.
Before leaving, Taishang looked at Nuwa and said, "Junior Sister Nuwa, if you have time, please go to Zixiao Palace and explain to our teacher what you did today." After saying that, he left the Human Race Temple and headed towards Zixiao Palace.
