Chapter 117 Succession
Of course, if Emperor Sui insisted, given his prestige among humans, although he could finalize the matter, it would inevitably damage the harmony of the human race and leave hidden dangers for Feng Zichen's future governance.
"Zichen, go and make preparations. Later, in front of everyone, I will pass the position of clan leader to you, so that I can go to the Nuwa Palace with peace of mind."
After a while, Suirenshi calmed down and instructed Feng Zichen.
"Yes, Emperor Suirenshi, rest assured, I will definitely lead the human race to prosperity and live up to your expectations!" Composing himself, Feng Zichen said firmly.
"Hmm! I am very relieved to entrust the human race to your hands!" Nodding, Suirenshi turned and left to gather everyone.
However, just as Suirenshi was about to step out of the hall, he suddenly stopped, turning his back to Feng Zichen and saying, "You are of the acquired human race, and many elders have criticized my passing the throne to you." "
The likes of the Guyue, Jushan, and Bingtu clans are arrogant because of their innate status, and they inevitably harbor resentment towards you."
"If, after I leave, they attempt to sow discord between the innate and acquired human races to undermine your prestige, you must not hesitate to act decisively."
"Remember, no matter who it is, or what their relationship to me is, if they dare to incite conflict between the innate and acquired, and disrupt our human race, you must not be lenient."
"Remember! Remember! Remember!"
With that, Suirenshi continued walking forward, exiting the hall.
"Yes, Zichen has remembered!"
Suirenshi's words were very soft.
Although Feng Zichen could not see his expression, he could tell from his tone that Suirenshi had made a tremendous decision in speaking these words.
"I really don't know what Elder Gu Yue and the others said in the council hall? It forced Emperor Sui to say such things." Feng Zichen muttered to himself in confusion after Suirenshi had walked away.
What does "no mercy" mean?
It means that when it's time to kill, you must kill without hesitation.
They were all old companions who had lived and eaten together since birth, having gone through countless hardships together; their bond was incredibly deep!
Even so, they had driven the usually mild-mannered Emperor Sui to murderous intent, showing just how far they had gone in the council hall.
"Damn it!"
"If I had known something big was happening in the council hall, I would have insisted on attending. Now I'm completely confused."
For a moment, Feng Zichen couldn't help but regret acting as a guide, not only listening to some ambiguous conversation but also delaying his own important business.
"However, that's what the Emperor Sui said. If I really dare to kill them, the Primordial Human Race might rebel."
"It seems I need to think of a way to drive them out!" Rubbing his head, Feng Zichen thought with a headache.
...
Three days later, Suiren and his two companions, along with the elders of the human race and many city lords, entered the ancestral temple. In the presence of representatives from the five races, they held a coronation ceremony for Feng Zichen.
"Zichen, from this day forward, I entrust the human race to you. You are the new patriarch of the human race, bearing the future of hundreds of millions of people. The responsibility is immense."
"In the future, you must not act impulsively or recklessly. You should think more, consider more, observe more, treat others with kindness, and be impartial..."
Handing the Suimu, representing the human race's heritage, to Feng Zichen, Suiren earnestly recounted to him the experience he had gained in governing the human race.
"Yes, Zi Chen has remembered everything and will certainly live up to Emperor Sui's expectations!" Feng Zi Chen silently noted it down and assured Emperor Sui.
"Everyone, Zi Chen has just ascended to the throne, and it is inevitable that he will make some mistakes in his actions. After I leave, I hope that you will all do your best to assist him, help him fill in the gaps, and work together to revitalize our human race!"
"I thank you in advance!"
After instructing Feng Zichen, Suirenshi turned to the crowd and said.
"You dare not, you dare not! Your Majesty is too kind. This is our duty. Even if you hadn't said so, we would have wholeheartedly assisted Zichen!"
Seeing that Suirenshi was about to bow to them, the crowd hurriedly said they dared not bow and did so instead.
"Very well!" Seeing the sincerity of the crowd, Suirenshi smiled with satisfaction.
"Alright, we've been delayed for so long, we should go to the Nuwa Palace to pay our respects to the Empress!" With that, Suirenshi rose on auspicious clouds, carrying Youchao, Ziyi, and Jinhuang, flying towards the Nuwa Palace in the Splendid Heaven.
"We respectfully see off Your Majesty, Your Majesty, and Your Majesty!" Seeing the three leave, the crowd bowed to them.
With the abdication of the three Suirenshi, the fortune representing the patriarch of the human race was drawn from them and flowed into Feng Zichen's body.
Rumble!
Above the ancestral temple of humanity, auspicious clouds suddenly appeared for thousands of miles, radiating countless rays of light and auspicious energy. The
laws of the Great Dao descended, manifesting the order of Heaven, and emitting a resounding Daoist chant. Then, to everyone's astonishment, a flaming flame, surrounded by five-colored light, slowly emerged from the void, shining brightly. Human energy flowed within it, and the Dao of Immortality endured.
"This is…"
"The manifestation
of humanity's destiny?!" Upon seeing this human flame, everyone felt a surge of heat in their hearts, a rush of fervor, and a renewed sense of self-reliance.
Simultaneously, as the flame flickered, scenes appeared before their eyes, showcasing humanity's past and awakening memories deep within their minds.
A feeling of blood connection washed over them, naturally leading them to understand the flame's origin.
Bathed in five-colored light, the flame shone brilliantly, like a great sun hanging high in the void, illuminating all realms.
After the flames illuminated all the humans on the shores of the East Sea, they suddenly descended and merged into Feng Zichen's body.
Boom!
Instantly, a powerful aura surged from Feng Zichen's body, transforming into a massive whirlwind that stirred the winds and clouds, causing the heavens and earth to change color, the sky to tremble, and the earth to shake.
A terrifying aura erupted, almost suffocating everyone.
"This aura, this power, no doubt, it's definitely a Grand Luo Golden Immortal!"
"But... how could this be?"
Everyone was horrified, staring incredulously at Feng Zichen at the center of the storm.
The human race's fortune, blessed by the innate fortunes of the five races, had long since transcended the River of Destiny, possessing the power of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal.
It was only because their fortune was divided into three parts that they had never truly revealed their power.
Moreover, after years of development, the human race's fortune had greatly increased, and the power it contained was even stronger.
Now that the three Suiren clans have abdicated, the human race's fortune has been drawn from their bodies and reunited, flowing entirely into Feng Zichen's body. This has temporarily granted him the power to contend with a Grand Luo Golden Immortal.
Although his cultivation level remains unchanged, in the primordial world, with the blessing of the human race's fortune, Feng Zichen is virtually indistinguishable from a Grand Luo Golden Immortal in every aspect except for the inability to achieve immortality.
