The next morning, a purple aura perated the sky above Chen, shimring with colorful light under the sun’s rays.
The silhouette of Great Master Xuan Du erged from the purple qi and spoke, "The Co-Emperor of the Human Clan, of the Xuanyuan Clan, receives an edict from the Taishang Sect Leader!"
The voice spread throughout Chen, and all the people of the Yanhuang Clan, every commoner, looked up to the skies, buzzing with excitent yet also tinged with sadness and reluctance.
Chi You accompanied Xuanyuan out of the Divine Palace, pushing him and urging, "Hurry up!"
Several Human Clan Practitioners took Xuanyuan and flew above the sky of Chen; Xuanyuan Clan made a bow and knelt on the clouds, "Xuanyuan Clan heeds the Dharma Decree of the Taishang Sect Leader~"
Xuan Du recited aloud, "The Supre Venerable Master of the Taoist Heaven decrees: Xuanyuan Clan succeeds Shennong as the Co-Emperor of the Human Clan. During his reign, he pacified the four quarters and eight wastes, unified Yanhuang and Jiuli. To this day, his virtues are complete, his rit boundless.
Now by the command of the Taishang Taoist Heaven, the Xuanyuan Clan is conferred the title of Human Emperor, to dwell and cultivate in Fire Cloud Cave, untainted by karmic debts, forever indestructible! Take heed of this!"
Xuanyuan Clan bowed respectfully, "Gratitude to the Taishang Sect Leader, Xuanyuan receives the Dharma Decree!"
The violet and yellow of the sky churned, and a huge rit Gold Cloud descended, splitting into three in the air: eight layers entered the body of the Xuanyuan Clan, one layer of rit drifted towards Guang Chengzi, and another layer headed for the East Sea.
Guang Chengzi’s face darkened, why did I receive only one layer of rit? Damn it, Bai Jin that fellow stole my Human Emperor rit.
The Human Emperor rit resonated with the rit gained by the Xuanyuan Clan over the years for the Human Clan, with a holy Heavenly Sound, a rit Golden Wheel appeared behind Xuanyuan Clan, illuminating the Chen of the Human Clan.
Xuanyuan stood up, his majestic and divine aura enveloped the whole region of the Human Clan, everyone felt it and bowed respectfully towards Chen, not daring to rise.
Within Chen, everyone looked up in reverence at the divine and sacred figure in the sky, according to the elders’ tales, after this should co the arrival of the Divine Dragon from the heavens, and the Human Emperor ascending on dragon back.
But after a long wait, the purple aura in the sky billowed, and there was no sign of the Divine Dragon.
Xuan Du was also stunned and perplexed, what’s going on? Why isn’t the Human Clan’s Qi Fortune Divine Dragon coming to welco the Human Emperor?
Below, Guang Chengzi grew restless, what’s happening? Where is the Qi Fortune Divine Dragon? Why isn’t the ceremony proceeding?
Chi You frowned slightly, then soared into the heavens, piercing through the purple clouds.
After a mont, Chi You returned to Xuanyuan’s side and shook his head slightly, whispering, "No sign of the Qi Fortune Divine Dragon, this is not a good sign."
Xuanyuan’s face turned serious as well, silent as if he was pondering, Could it be that I haven’t done well enough?
Xuan Du’s expression changed, showing realization, and he said, "Xuanyuan Clan, you may step down now!"
Xuanyuan nodded, his divine and majestic aura retracting, following Chi You down below and landed before the palace.
In the sky, Xuan Du’s silhouette returned to the midst of the purple clouds, which slowly faded away, clearing the sky.
The people of the Human Clan in Chen all stood up, a buzz of confusion, what happened? Wasn’t the ascension on dragon back part of the plan?
Xuan Du’s figure appeared in front of the Human Clan palace, holding a Taiyi Dust Brush in his hand.
Guang Chengzi imdiately approached, anxiously saying, "Great Master Xuan Du, what is going on? Why has the Human Emperor not assud his position?"
Xuanyuan, Chi You, and other Great Sages of the Human Clan all looked over with worried eyes, was there a problem with the destiny of the Human Clan?
Xuan Du solemnly said, "Just now the Master inford of the reason: since Xuanyuan’s enthronent, there has been ceaseless slaughter. Although he has unified the Human Clan once more, this process has led to the death of countless Human Clan mbers, and all those tribes invaded by Xuanyuan hold resentnt. That is to say, Xuanyuan Clan now carries a great burden of karmic debts of the Human Clan, and thus the Human Clan’s destiny is unwilling to co forth."
The hall instantly fell silent, everyone mute.
Xuanyuan laughed carefree and said, "Seems like I cannot beco the Human Emperor after all! Teacher, you should find soone else to guide! Now that the Human Clan is unified, based on this foundation, bringing greater benefits to our people, surely one can achieve the title of Human Emperor."
Guang Chengzi frowned and said, "The matter of the Human Emperor is of great importance, it is not sothing you can just be replaced at a whim! If you cannot assu the position, the Three Emperors cannot be complete, and surely the destiny of the Human Clan will diminish."
He looked at Xuan Du and said, "Elder brother, do you have a solution?"
Xuan Du shook his head and said, "No!"
He bowed and said, "Junior brother, I have conveyed all that I was instructed to; now I must return to report."
Guang Chengzi called out anxiously, "Elder brother~"
Xuan Du shook his head, mounting the clouds, and disappeared into the horizon.
In front of the palace, everyone turned their gaze towards Guang Chengzi.
Guang Chengzi pondered for a mont and then said, "Xuanyuan, do not be anxious, give your teacher three days to contemplate."
Xuanyuan bowed with his fists clasped and said, "Thank you for your efforts, Master."
Three days later, many Great Sages of the Human Clan accompanied Xuanyuan to the palace where Guang Chengzi was in seclusion.
The palace doors creaked open, revealing a broad and magnificent courtyard.
Guang Chengzi’s voice ca from a side hall, "Xuanyuan, co in." The doors to the side hall slowly opened.
All the Great Sages of the Human Clan looked pleased; perhaps a strategy had been devised?
Xuanyuan entered the side hall, and the doors closed behind him with a thunderous boom.
Chi You’s expression changed, he moved silently towards the side hall, passing by a middle-aged man with a small mustache.
Cang Jie whispered, "Warlord, isn’t this improper?"
With a swat on Cang Jie’s head, Chi You retorted sternly, "What did you say?"
Cang Jie shrank his head, showing a face full of grievance.
Chi You threatened, "No one is to speak of this, understand?"
Everyone else nodded frantically, fearing the overbearing Warlord.
