Chương 36: Farewell to the Human Emperor

Wishing all the big shots a Happy New Year! May you all have a wonderful year, all your wishes come true, and may you be prosperous and have joy every day!

When the sage Taiqing was about to see the light of day, Fang Yang was working tirelessly for the future of the Jie Sect.

Shennong the Great warmly welcomed Fang Yang's arrival.

Fang Yang becoming a direct disciple of the Jie Sect is definitely good news for Emperor Shennong. While the human race has many disciples within the great sects of the sages, the vast majority are outer disciples.

Xiao Zhen and Deng Hua of the Chan Sect, and some outer disciples of the Jie Sect...

Only one person successfully became a direct disciple, and that was Grand Master Xuandu.

However, the situation of Grand Master Xuandu is more complicated. Apart from preaching and slaying demons, he basically does not participate in the affairs of the human race.

However, humanity needs a bridge, a bridge to communicate with the great religion of the saints.

The Great Emperor Shennong would not ask Fang Yang to risk his life for the human race; he only needed Fang Yang, a direct disciple of the sage, to establish a connection with the great sage's religion.

There is no struggle between the human race and the great religion of sages over the Great Dao. The human race seeks survival and development, while the great war of sages seeks the enlightenment of all living beings.

The stronger the human race's fortune, the greater the benefits to the sages. The more the human race accepts the teachings of the sages and helps them expound the Dao, the greater the benefits to the sages.

"Fang Yang, a disciple of the Jie Sect from overseas, greets the Human Emperor!"

Fang Yang bowed deeply; the Heaven-Mending and Creation Pill of the Divine Farmer had given him even more possibilities.

Although he also saved the girl, and their karmic debts were settled, there were still opportunities beyond karma.

"Fellow Daoist, please!"

The Shennong Emperor knew something about Fang Yang's suppression of Lü Yue.

Those disciples of the Jie Sect who practiced unorthodox and heretical arts were always a thorn in the side of Emperor Shennong. Unfortunately, they were disciples of a sage, and he could not remove this thorn.

The appearance of Fang Yang, a disciple personally taught by a sage, gave Shennong the Great hope.

Perhaps, this disciple of a sage, who is of human origin, can solve this problem for humanity.

Fang Yang thanked Emperor Shennong before taking his seat as a guest.

"Fellow Daoist is also of the human race. What are your thoughts on the future of our human race?"

The Great Emperor Shennong was extremely busy with many affairs of state. Apart from cultivating his skills, he devoted all his energy to governing the human race.

Therefore, he doesn't utter any nonsense.

"The future of humanity is naturally in the hands of humanity itself. Only by being down-to-earth and working together can we become the true protagonists of the world."

The development of civilization cannot be achieved overnight; any powerful civilization is built up little by little.

Even if the human race suddenly increases its power countless times, if the human race's social system and social structure cannot keep up, the internal order of the human race will quickly collapse.

Of course, Shennong the Great understood these things. He was able to govern such a vast human race so well; he couldn't possibly be unaware of this.

"Indeed, fellow Daoist, you are worthy of being a direct disciple of a sage. The path of our human race must be walked by ourselves. Unfortunately, there are too many people within our human race who are eager for quick success."

He flicked his finger, and scenes appeared one after another.

These scenarios depict cases where humanity attempts to ascend to the highest levels of power by relying on sages, great religions, or powerful beings.

Like Lü Yue and others, they were willing to sacrifice the lives of an entire city for the sake of merit, using those lives to raise demons, or even to establish cults, bewitch people, and fight against the great sage religion to break free from its "control".

Many of the demonic and ghostly troubles in the primordial land were caused by these people deliberately indulging other races and raising them.

Shennong the Great was not physically tired, but mentally exhausted.

Fang Yang's gaze sharpened, and he understood the unspoken meaning behind Shennong's words.

The Human Emperor did not want him to take action to eliminate these scum of humanity, but rather hoped that he would stand up and show that he cared about humanity.

Fang Yang's cultivation level is nothing special, but he is a direct disciple of a sage. With this identity, he can effectively deter all parties.

Of course, the main purpose was to intimidate the outer disciples of the Jie Sect.

It was all because Grand Master Xuandu had been hesitant, fearing that it would damage the friendship between the two religions.

Since Fang Yang is a direct disciple of the Jie Sect, there is absolutely no problem.

Upon hearing this, Fang Yang nodded: "Your Majesty can rest assured, I have the same idea. I wish to use the power of the human race to issue a universal manhunt order throughout the myriad realms."

"Any disciple of the Jie Sect who commits crimes or does evil may be apprehended by fellow Daoists throughout the myriad realms and sent to Qingcheng Grotto-Heaven for my disposal. I will, as appropriate, impart to this fellow Daoist a Jie Sect divine power."

Upon hearing this, the Shennong Emperor's gaze toward Fang Yang changed, now tinged with admiration and respect.

Fang Yang's courage is truly remarkable!

With this move by Fang Yang, regardless of whether he truly stood on the side of the human race, all the forces in the world would feel that Fang Yang had returned to the human race.

Otherwise, why would Fang Yang need to use the human race to issue a kill order?

Actually, that's pretty much the case.

Fang Yang still cares about the human race. It's better for his own race to be the protagonist of the world than for a bunch of furry, horned, wet, egg-born creatures to be the protagonists.

If the human race were to perish, even if he cultivated to become a great power of heaven and earth, or even a being of the level of the Kunpeng Ancestor, he would still be nothing more than a remnant of the previous dynasty. He would have absolutely no share in the destiny of the protagonist of the new world, and he would find it difficult to achieve anything again.

He didn't want to be reincarnated; he felt his body was in excellent condition in this life.

The Shennong Emperor rose and bowed deeply to Fang Yang: "On behalf of the human race, I thank you, fellow Daoist!"

Shennong the Great knew that Fang Yang was a human from overseas and had never received proper training from the human race. In fact, the tribe Fang Yang belonged to was wiped out before he was born.

Fang Yang's willingness to stand up for the human race under these circumstances is extremely commendable.

However, Shennong the Great was unaware that Fang Yang was simply more clear about his grudges and favors.

The tribe that destroyed his tribe has long since disappeared into the dust of history.

Moreover, he stood up for humanity because of his own identity, not because of any deep affection he had for humanity.

He had no relatives or friends among the human race, so what feelings could he possibly have?

Fang Yang only considers his position and interests when doing things, not his feelings.

If one day, someone within the human race ostracizes him or betrays him, he will absolutely wipe them all out, without regard for their merits or their "meritorious service."

Moreover, he was a disciple of the Jie Sect.

Humanity is the protagonist of heaven and earth. Only when humanity is stable can all other races maintain relative stability, and only then can the great cause of the Jie Sect's spread of its teachings continue.

His dual identity tells him that he needs to do something for humanity.

Fang Yang remained seated, not moving away.

His fortune is connected to that of the Tongtian Sect Master. Unless the Hongjun Ancestor worships him, he will not suffer from the backlash of his fortune.

"Your Majesty need not thank me. My actions were not entirely for the sake of humanity. I must eradicate those evil demons and monsters within the sect. Using humanity is merely a convenient means to achieve this."

Shennong the Great stood up, his eyes filled with even more warmth. Fang Yang's sincerity reassured him far more than any insincere promises.

In the primordial world, alliances based on interests are far more enduring and stable than emotional bonds. The more straightforward Fang Yang is, the more credible he becomes!

I have some things to do at home today, but I'll try to squeeze out some time to write.
