Chapter 472 Leaving the Demon Clan? A Deal!
Chapter 472 Leaving the Demon Clan? A Deal!
Seeing Fuxi's surprised expression, Nuwa took a deep breath.
Then, without keeping her in suspense, she began to recount the glimmer of opportunity revealed by the will of Heaven:
"Brother, the lich has retreated, and the格局 (geju, a concept encompassing both state and circumstance) of the primordial world has changed."
"In the present world, although the Bull Clan is powerful, they do not like to fight."
"On the contrary, the human race is developing rapidly, and its fortune is rising day by day. It is already becoming the most promising protagonist in the world."
"As Heaven has indicated, the human race should have three sovereigns and five emperors to receive the mandate of Heaven and to establish human relations."
"These three emperor positions are among the highest positions bestowed upon humanity by its destiny and recognized by the Heavenly Dao."
"If one obtains this position, one can take advantage of the flourishing fortune of the human race to attain a Dao fruit that is different from that of a sage, yet equally supreme."
At this point, the sage Nuwa paused slightly.
Even though she was a saint, she couldn't help but get a little excited at this moment.
After a slight pause, the sage Nuwa pursed her lips, looked directly at Fuxi, and continued:
"Brother, not long ago, I received a revelation from Heaven."
"Brother, you are one of the three destined emperors of the human race."
"You shall seek the throne of the Emperor among the human race!"
After hearing Nuwa's words, Fuxi's expression changed drastically.
"The Three Sovereigns of Humanity?"
"I?"
"Emperor?"
"Could it be... could this be the change that's about to happen to me?"
Fuxi muttered to himself, the hexagrams in his eyes shifting as if he were deducing their mysteries.
Unfortunately, even though he was extremely skilled in divination, he still couldn't deduce anything.
After calming down slightly, Fuxi suddenly thought of something, and his gaze sharpened as he looked directly at the sage Nuwa:
"younger sister."
"You mean, you want me to leave the demon race and be reborn as a human?"
Nuwa neither agreed nor disagreed with what Fuxi said, and nodded slightly.
"That's right."
"Although my elder brother is currently cultivating in the demon realm, his path to immortality has almost come to a standstill."
"As for the demon race's fortune, it has declined after the previous war between the Lich King and the Demon King, making it difficult to support Big Brother to go any further."
"In the outside world, the human race is at the beginning of its rise, and its fortune is flourishing. It needs a person of great wisdom and great merit to lead it."
"With your talent, if you were to be reborn as a human, you would surely achieve unparalleled feats and attain the supreme Dao."
At this point, the Sage Nuwa paused slightly, then lowered her voice and continued:
"There are some secrets that I cannot reveal to you."
"But elder brother needs to know."
"Being reborn as a human offers a far brighter future than remaining in the demon realm!"
When she said this, the sage Nuwa appeared very confident.
Upon hearing this, Fuxi did not rush to reply and fell silent.
After a long while, he slowly raised his eyes and gazed at the dazzling yet cramped starry sky outside the palace.
At this moment, Fuxi recalled the past when he and Nuwa roamed the primordial world, witnessing the birth and death of all things.
Later, at the invitation of Emperor Jun, the brother and sister joined the Heavenly Court and were appointed as the Xi Emperor and Nuwa Emperor of the demon race.
After becoming the Queen of the Demon Clan, Fuxi participated in the formulation of the Heavenly Laws.
Finally, a great war broke out between the Lich and the Demon races, resulting in the deaths of countless lives.
With Niu Ben's intervention, the two races were ultimately forced to withdraw from the prehistoric world, each entering the demon realm and the witch realm respectively.
After a moment's thought, Fuxi took a deep breath, a look of relief and clarity appearing in his eyes.
He had just briefly recalled everything he had experienced.
In the demon race, his path indeed seems to be getting narrower and narrower.
Upon thinking of this, Fuxi smiled, then turned his gaze to the sage Nuwa:
"Sister, we are siblings, connected by blood."
"Since you say so, you must have your reasons."
"I believe you, brother."
When he said this, Fuxi's gaze was gentle yet firm.
Upon hearing this, Nuwa smiled slightly, a hint of relief and emotion flashing in her eyes.
At this moment, Fuxi frowned, then changed the subject:
"only……"
"I am still the Xi Huang of the demon race."
"If we were to break away from the demon race... I'm afraid the Demon Emperor wouldn't easily agree!"
Upon hearing this, Nuwa remained calm and replied:
"Brother, please rest assured."
"I have my own plans for this matter."
"As long as you're willing, brother, I will definitely take you away from the demon realm!"
"Brother, come with me to see the Demon Emperor!"
Upon hearing this, Fuxi paused for a moment, then a resolute look flashed in his eyes. He then left the Eastern Star Palace with the sage Nuwa.
Soon, Nuwa and Fuxi arrived at the Heavenly Palace.
At this moment, Emperor Jun sat upright on his throne. When he saw Fuxi and Nuwa arrive together, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Why did she bring Fuxi with her?"
Di Jun muttered to himself, a vague sense of unease creeping into his heart.
Just then, Fuxi stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said:
"Your Majesty, Fuxi has a request."
Upon hearing this, Di Jun snapped out of his reverie and said calmly:
"Oh?"
"Please speak, Emperor Xi."
Fuxi didn't keep them in suspense and went straight to the point:
"I hereby report to the Demon Emperor that Fuxi wishes to... break away from the demon race, and I humbly request Your Majesty's permission!"
As soon as Fuxi uttered these words, the hall fell silent.
Donghuang Taiyi and all the demon gods changed their expressions drastically, looking at Fuxi in disbelief.
After the initial silence, the many high-ranking members of the demon race came to their senses, and a commotion erupted:
"What?"
"Leave the demon race?"
"this?"
"Xi Huang, what do you mean by this?"
"Could it be that seeing my demon race in such dire straits in the demon realm, you're thinking of just leaving?"
"..."
At the same time, golden flames surged in Di Jun's eyes, and an uncontrollable holy might spread out, showing that he was somewhat angered after hearing that Fuxi wanted to leave the demon race.
Nuwa remained calm and did not rush to speak, but waited for Dijun to speak.
After a moment of silence, Di Jun glanced at himself and said in a deep voice:
"Fuxi, do you know what you're saying?"
"You are my ancient Demon Emperor, an elder of the demon race, and a pillar of the Heavenly Court!"
"Now you want to break away from my demon race? Where does that leave the dignity of my demon race? Where does that leave me, the Emperor?"
Fuxi remained calm and composed, neither humble nor arrogant, and said:
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger."
"Fuxi did not abandon the demon race, but... he had other opportunities and had no choice but to go."
Upon hearing this, Di Jun couldn't help but sneer:
"Opportunity?"
"What opportunity could possibly compare to your status within the demon race?"
"If you stay, you will remain the third most powerful member of my demon race, enjoying endless honor!"
"But if you leave the demon race, you will be betraying your people and those demon people who once followed you."
As soon as Di Jun spoke, the atmosphere in the hall became tense.
Just then, Nuwa stepped forward, standing in front of Fuxi, and calmly met Dijun's gaze, saying indifferently:
"Fellow Daoist Di Jun, my elder brother is determined to leave; there is no point in forcing him to stay."
"Besides, if he stays, his heart is no longer here, which may not be a good thing for the demon race."
Upon seeing the Sage Nuwa speak on behalf of Fuxi, Di Jun's expression immediately darkened, and he said coldly:
"The Sage Nuwa".
"Are you threatening me?"
