Chapter 97 The Path of Humanity, The Price of Exchange, The Choice of the Four Saints.

On the shore of the East China Sea, atop the mountain.

As the river of time manifested, countless humans gazed upon it atop the mountain peak, their eyes filled with awe.

Although they did not know the name of the long river, they were quite shocked by the imposing aura emanating from it.

That overwhelming power was something they could not resist; they all looked upon the long river of time with awe.

The Great Luo Golden Immortals among the human race looked at the long river with awe, for they had all experienced the River of Time and knew that this was the River of Time.

But as they looked at this river of time, a look of doubt appeared in their eyes. This river of time was different from the river of time they had experienced when they were at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

The power of this river of time is far greater than that of the river of time they have experienced, and the power of time within it is probably even more terrifying.

Chen Qing glanced at everyone, then looked towards his future self.

At this moment, Chen Qing connected with the power of the galaxy within his body, adding his own galaxy power to his future self, and began to watch how the human race would develop in the future through his future self.

The future self received Chen Qing's Star River Power, glanced indifferently at everyone, and then began to use its supernatural powers, looking towards the long river of time.

The future version of himself stretched out one hand, his right hand swatting forward as if parting the fog, and began to observe.

The four sages watched the future incarnations move and the turbulent river of time begin to surge. Though their eyes remained calm, their hearts were filled with awe.

If they wish to observe the future, it will not be as easy as it is for their future selves. Instead, they will need to expend a great deal of their magical power before they can begin to observe the river of time.

At this moment, Chen Qing appeared relaxed and indifferent, looking at the long river of time, though the waters were turbulent and surging towards his future self.

However, a barrier appeared around the future body, blocking all the surging waters of the River of Time, causing the endless power of time to flow to both sides.

At this moment, Chen Qing began to observe the long river of time through the power of his future self, to observe the human race in the future, to observe how the human race developed into the overlord of the primordial world, and how he secured his position as the overlord of the primordial world.

Time passed slowly, and several days had already gone by without us realizing it.

In the past few days, Chen Qing has used the power of the River of Time to observe the development and evolution of the human race, and has already gained some insights.

At this moment, Chen Qing stopped looking at the River of Time, because he had consumed a great deal of Star River Power by looking at the River of Time over the past few days.

Even though he transformed his Purple Mansion into an endless cosmic river, possessing boundless galactic power, it was still difficult to sustain under the strain of his future self.

The few days had greatly depleted his own galactic power.

Chen Qing had already witnessed the development and evolution of the human race, and also saw how the human race had secured its position in the primordial world.

Chen Qing stopped watching and closed his eyes, quietly contemplating.

At this moment, as Chen Qing stopped watching, the future self walked into the depths of the river of time.

The long river of time is also beginning to return, returning to the endless space and time.

As the river of time flowed by, Chen Qing lay there in deep thought. The Four Sages and the Three Ancestors of Humanity watched him ponder, already knowing that Chen Qing had foreseen the future path of humanity. They all waited quietly, awaiting Chen Qing's words about how humanity's future would unfold.

Time passed slowly, and before we knew it, a hundred days had gone by.

A hundred days passed in the blink of an eye. The Four Saints and the Three Ancestors of the Human Race waited quietly for Chen Qing to awaken.

On this day, Chen Qing opened his eyes, glanced at everyone, and then slowly spoke.

"As the river of time flows by, I have glimpsed the future path of humanity, though it will be fraught with difficulties."

Upon hearing this, the Four Sages and the Three Ancestors of the Human Race looked at Chen Qing with some confusion, waiting for Chen Qing to explain.

Chen Qing didn't hesitate any longer and spoke directly.

"In the future, there will be someone who will lead humanity to become the overlord of the primordial world, and will also enable humanity to firmly hold the position of overlord of the world."

"These eight people are the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. All eight of them are born of the human race and are destined to lead the human race to its peak."

At this moment, the Four Saints and the Three Ancestors of the Human Race looked at Chen Qing with some confusion upon hearing this.

The protagonists of destiny, the Three Sovereigns and the Five Emperors, but who these eight people are remains unknown.

"Who are these eight people, and what is their background?"

Chen Qing glanced at the four saints, then slowly spoke.

"The eight chosen ones are human, and can only be human. As for what you are thinking, I am aware of it. The eight of them do need someone to teach them, and you can send someone to teach them."

"When the chosen one of Heaven attains the throne of the Human Emperor, merit will descend upon him, and those who come to teach him will also receive merit. The merit gained will be considerable, but I wonder what price you are willing to pay to become the teachers of these eight destined individuals."

After Chen Qing finished speaking, he quietly looked at the Four Saints, waiting for their reply.

The three ancestors of the human race looked at Chen Qing with a sense of relief. If it weren't for Chen Qing, and the three of them had to face the four saints, the human race would have suffered countless losses.

With Chen Qing present, the human race would not suffer any loss of benefits at this time.

Chen Qing glanced at the four saints, then slowly spoke.

"After I left, Zhao Gongming and the Three Immortals of Sanxiao have been taking care of the human race. Therefore, I can grant them the positions of Imperial Tutors to the two disciples of the Jie Sect as a way of thanking them for their many years of dedication."

As Chen Qing said this, he glanced at the three ancestors of the human race.

At this moment, the three ancestors of the human race saw Chen Qing's gaze, exchanged glances, and Suirenshi stood up and spoke.

"That's right. We humans always repay kindness. Immortal Master Zhao Gongming and the Three Immortal Masters of Sanxiao have taken care of our human race for countless years. This kindness must be repaid. We agree to give the two positions of Imperial Tutor to the Jie Sect, and the human race also agrees."

Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader's eyes lit up with joy.

After all, Chen Qing just said that as long as one becomes the teacher of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race, one will reap merits.

These small amounts of merit may not be of much use to them, but they are of great benefit to their disciples.

Having already obtained the positions of two imperial tutors, how could he not be overjoyed?

After pondering for a moment, Taiqing Laozi glanced at Chen Qing and then slowly spoke.

"I have only one disciple, Xuandu, who is also of human origin. In that case, I need a teacher of a human emperor. In return, I will explain the Great Dao to the human race for three thousand years."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing looked at the Supreme Saint and nodded in agreement.

"Yes, I agree to exchange the teachings of the Great Dao by the Sage Taiqing for the position of a teacher of emperors."

"In that case, you will still be the teachers of five emperors. You should think this through carefully."

Yuanshi Tianzun glanced at Tongtian Jiaozhu, and the two exchanged a look. Tongtian Jiaozhu, seeing Yuanshi Tianzun's gaze, finally remembered their brotherhood and nodded.

Upon seeing this, Yuanshi Tianzun looked at Chen Qing and then slowly spoke.

"I am willing to preach to the human race for nine thousand years in exchange for the position of teacher to one emperor and two lords."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing glanced at the Tongtian Sect Leader, then nodded in agreement.

Upon seeing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader also spoke up.

"Then I will preach to the human race for nine thousand years in exchange for becoming the teacher of the last emperor and the teacher of the king."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing nodded in agreement.

"Thus, the eight imperial tutors have been assigned, but these eight are not yet ready to emerge; it will take some time."

"You only need to wait quietly. When it is born, I will inform you."

Upon hearing this, the Sage of Taiqing, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, and the Master of Tongtian all nodded in agreement.

The sage Nuwa looked at Chen Qing and then spoke.

"Is it acceptable for the eight participants to be of the human race?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing nodded in agreement.

"That's right, as long as they are human, they will be fine."

Upon hearing this, the sage Nuwa breathed a sigh of relief.

"In that case, would it be possible to make Fuxi the first emperor? In exchange, I am willing to preach the Tao for the human race for nine thousand years."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing's eyes showed a thoughtful expression.

The three ancestors of the human race were also pondering these words.

Who is Fuxi? He is the emperor of the demon race. The demon race once slaughtered the human race, and the demon race and the human race have a blood feud. Now, the sage Nuwa says such a thing, which makes them have to think deeply.

Chen Qing looked at the Sage Nuwa, and then slowly spoke.

"Humanity was created by you. Without your creation, there would be no human race. Now that you have made this request, I cannot refuse."

"However, Fuxi was once the emperor of the demon race. The demon race and the human race have a blood feud. If you want Fuxi to become the first emperor, you need to erase the aura on Fuxi's body. Not only that, but Fuxi also needs to leave the demon race. Only in this way can it be accomplished."

The three ancestors of the human race nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

The sage Nuwa nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

"Yes, let Fuxi reincarnate and erase his own aura. Only a hundred reincarnations are needed to erase his aura. At that time, I believe that after being reborn a hundred times, Fuxi will know his responsibility."

"As for separating from the demon race, I can make the decision now to allow Fuxi to separate from the demon race."

The sage Nuwa was very decisive and immediately allowed Fuxi to leave the demon race.

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing nodded in agreement.

"If that's the case, then let Fuxi become the first emperor of the human race. However, in doing so, the bond between the sage Nuwa and the human race will weaken further, and there can be no more entanglements between the sage Nuwa and the human race in the future."

Upon hearing this, the sage Nuwa could only nod helplessly.

Upon seeing this, Chen Qing nodded in agreement, then glanced at everyone with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

At this moment, he was thinking about the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. They all had their own responsibilities and missions. They were the ones who led the human race to prosperity and to become the overlords of the primordial world.

These eight people are indeed crucial, but the time is not yet ripe. The activation will take time. Chen Qing is currently pondering how to activate the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
