The Human Emperor

Chapter 174 The Human Emperor

The Heavenly Court is located in the Nine Heavens, and the Underworld is located within the Nine Netherworlds. These are places where the pure or turbid energy is most concentrated, making cultivation twice as effective and more effective in preventing enemy gods and demons from infiltrating.

This Human Dynasty, like the Human Emperor, cultivated the Pangu Creation Dao, emphasizing the absorption and transformation of pure and turbid energies into chaotic power, thereby interpreting the wonders of chaos.

Since the purpose is to inhale and exhale both pure and impure energies, the Human Dynasty cannot be in the sky or on the ground. It can only be at the boundary between the sky and the ground, which is the earthly world, also known as the surface continent.

Only when on the surface of the earth can the human dynasty obtain the same pure and turbid energies. Otherwise, if one of the energies is too much or too little, the chaotic energy of the human will directly evolve into the corresponding pure or turbid energy. At that time, even if the human body does not die or the Dao is destroyed, the human energy will be greatly damaged.

However, in this earthly world, gods and demons can all come, and when a great battle occurs between the Heavenly Court and the Underworld, it will not reach the Nine Heavens or the Nine Netherworlds, but will be fought in this earthly world where the pure and turbid energies meet.

A great war breaks out between the Heavenly Court and the Underworld. Even if the Human Dynasty doesn't want to get involved, it's impossible for it to do so. The Heavenly Emperor and the Earthly Emperor will also intentionally send the Human Emperor into the war in order to curb the development of the Human Dynasty. After all, the Heavenly Court and the Underworld are already powerful enough and do not need the rise of a third party.

They could tolerate a human emperor who was no less powerful than themselves, but they could not tolerate the emergence of a human dynasty that was no less powerful than the Heavenly Court or the Underworld.

It is precisely under this subtle constraint that the Human Dynasty finds it difficult to grow stronger, and its development is extremely difficult. Apart from the Human Emperor, there is no other emperor in the country!

This is unbelievable to the Heavenly Court and the Underworld, but it truly exists in the human realm.

For the sake of the stability of the Human Dynasty, the Human Emperor would never leave the country unless absolutely necessary, so as to stay and guard Mount Jiutou. If the mountain were destroyed, the Human Dynasty would be finished.

The people of Jiutou Mountain also follow the decree of the Human Emperor and generally do not go out unless necessary. They quietly cultivate the Pangu Creation Dao, hoping that their Emperor will one day take the final step and achieve the Pangu realm.

Today, however, Jiutou Mountain, which has never fought with the world, has finally awakened, though it is impossible to stop it.

As its name suggests, Jiutou Mountain is a sacred mountain with nine peaks. From a distance, it resembles a very peculiar stone tree with nine protruding peaks at the top, which are connected to each other and form an enormous tree canopy.

These nine mountain peaks, however, have a vague appearance, some beaming with joy, some furious, some dejected, some jubilant, and some consumed by jealousy. Their expressions are extremely vivid, as if someone had actually made these expressions and they were directly engraved into these mountains.

It has been said that this mountain was formed from the nine emotions of Pangu, and that the Human Emperor comprehended the principles of these nine emotions, which is why he became a Human Emperor who was no less than other emperors.

If one can digest all nine emotions and transform them into a calm and composed demeanor, neither joyful nor sorrowful, then one will truly understand the real meaning of the Great Dao of Pangu.

On that smiling mountain peak, a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe sat cross-legged, his face also bearing a joyful smile, but his eyes held a faint sense of vicissitude.

It was as if he had seen through all the truths of the world and witnessed all the vicissitudes of life. So, although he smiled on the surface, he remained calm in his heart. Or rather, he could feel joy or sorrow, laughter or anger, and all kinds of emotions were expressed freely in his heart.

"Pangu's joy is truly overwhelming."

After an unknown amount of time, the middle-aged man finally stood up. The smile on his face slowly faded, but his eyes regained their light, as if he were extremely happy.

A smiling face hides a cold heart, and a smiling heart hides a cold face—this is the nature of Pangu's emotions, revealing its terrifying power.

The middle-aged man stood quietly on the mountain peak, fully experiencing the nine emotions of Pangu.

Behind him, several hurried footsteps sounded, and then several men and women rushed up to him, urgently saying, "Your Majesty, didn't you see what just happened? Someone has invaded the Immortal Realm! The Heavenly Emperors, Heavenly Empresses, Earthly Emperors, and Earthly Empresses have already been mobilized, and even the Five Emperors have been attacked without warning! Please act quickly and repel these immortals!"

This middle-aged man was none other than the Human Emperor, the Human Emperor who single-handedly supported the Human Dynasty to stand for countless years.

However, unlike other gods and demons, the Human Emperor seemed indifferent to this situation, appearing as if it were a matter of chance, or as if he allowed it to be born.

"Why should I intervene?" the Human Emperor retorted. "This primordial immortal realm was also created by the Father God Pangu, and some of the immortals born here are direct descendants of Pangu. Since I am a descendant of Pangu, I naturally wouldn't kill other descendants. What do you want me to do by intervening?"

The group was momentarily speechless with emotion. Finally, the one who looked like a child mustered his courage and said, "But we are, after all, gods of the Divine Realm. If people from the Immortal Realm come here, they will surely commit massacres. Your Majesty, you are also from the Divine Realm, so how can you not do your part for the Divine Realm?"

After hearing this, the Human Emperor sighed and said, "You hundred-year-old child, you have been cultivating the Immortal Child's Turning Technique. I once thought you were a superior seed for the creation of the world by Pangu, but I never expected that you would still go astray."

"You've merely used this power to create two incarnations, residing in both the Heavenly Court and the Underworld, hoping to have your cake and eat it too. If the Divine Realm is destroyed, your losses will be immense, which is why you're in such a hurry, isn't it?"

The hundred-year-old boy was terrified upon hearing this. His delicate face was filled with panic. He opened his mouth as if to say something in his defense, but looking into the wise eyes of the emperor, no matter how wide he opened his mouth, he could not utter a single word.

The others were also shocked to discover that the centenarian child had actually betrayed the court.

A woman with her hair styled in a flying bun and adorned with a double phoenix crown and jade hairpins pointed out a single finger and angrily said, "You hundred-year-old child, how dare you seek refuge in the Heavenly Court and the Underworld! What face do you have to cultivate the Pangu Creation Dao? You truly deserve to die!"

Being verbally abused by the woman, the centenarian boy lost face and immediately changed his fierce demeanor, saying, "Hmph! There are only a few big cats and small cats in this Human Court. A good bird chooses a good tree to perch on. What's wrong with me choosing to join a better power? Besides, I only entered in disguise; I didn't actually go in. I've already done enough for the Human Court!"
