Chapter 140 The True Form of the Human Emperor
Naturally, the thing Qi Yu wanted to talk about with Di Hong could only be the transaction between Queen Zi Guang and Qi Yu not long ago.

Since Qi Yu has taken over the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag, he naturally has to do what he should do. It is not feasible to take the benefits and not do the work. Not to mention, even the Queen of Heaven will probably not allow him to find an opportunity to slack off.

However, although there is a bottom line of not being able to slack off, how Qi Yu does it specifically depends on himself. Of course, he also has to take into account the thoughts of Di Hong, the person involved.

After all, this is still a transaction, so Qi Yu naturally has to take the thoughts of the trading partner into consideration.

However, Qi Yu was not Di Hong’s nanny and it was impossible for him to arrange everything for the latter in detail. Therefore, it became necessary for the two of them to have a detailed discussion on this issue.

Obviously, Di Hong knew what Qi Yu was thinking at the moment, so he finally accepted the latter’s invitation. The two found a quiet room, sat opposite each other in it, and prepared to discuss some details in detail.

However, after both of them sat down, Di Hong was slow to speak and seemed very hesitant, and it was obvious that he was still worried.

Qi Yu did not make any statement on this. He just leisurely picked up the cup of fairy tea in front of him and savored it carefully, while waiting for the other party to speak first.

Seeing this, Emperor Hong opened his mouth several times to speak, but in the end he did not say anything.

Obviously, when the time came, Di Hong still felt a little uneasy.

Of course, Emperor Hong felt uneasy, not because of Qi Yu in front of him, but because Emperor Hong was not prepared at all for the throne of the Emperor to fall from the sky. After all, sometimes, a pie that is too big can kill people!
And this is obviously the situation that Emperor Hong is facing at this moment.

Di Jiang, hidden as the leader of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, is in charge of the Witch Sect and has enormous power. Not only that, he also has many old friends in the Human Emperor Palace, and his cultivation is extremely profound. He has already stepped into the realm of quasi-saints for many years, and has gone a long way on the road to being a Heavenly Venerate. He can be called a giant and a strong contender for the throne of Human Emperor!
As for himself, he is only at the realm of Daojun, and can barely be called a powerful figure. Although his cultivation is not weak, it is no match for Dijiang. Moreover, he himself has a shallow foundation in the Human Emperor Palace, and the human race is far inferior to the Witch Clan. It is really difficult for him to be the opponent of Dijiang.

What’s more, among the descendants of the Human Emperor Palace, there is also the Golden Mother of Yaochi! She is a person with great supernatural powers for many years, and recently she is suspected to have entered the realm of Tianzun, and her strength is very strong.

After making such a comparison, Emperor Hong naturally understood clearly that for the Purple Light Queen, he was never the best candidate, but just the “most suitable” candidate at the moment.

In fact, if Taitian Emperor had not chosen the demon emperor Di Jun as the fifth emperor, which would have forced Empress Zi Guang to appropriately suppress Di Jiang and the Wu Sect, and Queen Mother Xi had devoted herself to the Xuan Sect, it would have been equivalent to giving up her inheritance rights to the Human Emperor’s Palace and not participating in the competition.

Otherwise, even in terms of seniority, it would definitely not be his turn to succeed the third generation emperor.

Putting aside other things, if the Purple Light Queen really passed away one day, how many people in the Human Emperor Palace would be able to obey her?
Of course, it is obviously impossible to say that Emperor Hong had no ambitions in his heart and no idea of ​​inheriting the throne.

As the patriarch of the human race, Di Hong was also known as the Saint Emperor of the race. How could he be depressed and inferior to others for a long time? His panic at this moment was just because the incident happened too suddenly, and his own preparations seemed to be insufficient.

Apart from anything else, if he was not a great Taoist now, but a quasi-saint, Emperor Hong would have gladly taken over the position of the Human Emperor, and would have been solely thinking about how to be in harmony with the Human Emperor as soon as possible!
Finally, after hesitating for a long time, Di Hong finally spoke.

“The Emperor is now the Holy Master of our human race, and has been entrusted by the Queen Mother of Heaven to protect the throne of the Human Emperor from falling into the hands of others. In fact, he can be regarded as a guest official in our Human Emperor Palace.”

“Now that I hold the throne of the Human Emperor, I have to be arrogant and call you Emperor, fellow Daoist. I hope you won’t mind.” Upon hearing this, Qi Yu nodded. What Emperor Hong said was indeed true. The Human Emperor was one of the Three Emperors of the Gods, and his status was extremely respected, comparable to the Emperor of Heaven. Although Emperor Hong has not yet truly refined the status of the Human Emperor, he is the successor chosen by the Purple Light Queen after all, and naturally should not be taken lightly.

Even though Qi Yu is now Emperor Xishen, he is still not the Black Emperor after all. It is natural and legal for him and Emperor Hong to call each other “fellow Taoist”.

Seeing Qi Yu nod, Di Hong felt relieved a little, and then continued.

“You also know that the God Clan is in a precarious situation right now, and the Queen Mother of Heaven is seriously injured, so she has no choice but to entrust the throne of the Human Emperor to me. I also ask you to protect me on my behalf, so that the Three Emperors’ lineage will not be lost, and the foundation of the Human Emperor’s lineage will last forever.”

“But now, His Majesty Taiyi has long stopped caring about government affairs, and the witch sect has become rampant. If this continues, people like Dijiang will definitely spy on the palace in order to plot against the throne of the emperor and covet the divine weapon.”

“Fellow Daoist, now that you are a guest of my imperial palace and a protector appointed by the Queen Mother of Heaven, I wonder if you can teach me anything?”

At this moment, Emperor Hong did not choose to express his thoughts directly, but instead turned the tables and asked Qi Yu if he had any solutions. This was not only a request for advice, but also actually a test of the latter’s bottom line, wanting to know how far the latter could go.

As the successor finally chosen by the Purple Light Queen, Emperor Hong was naturally aware of the agreement between Qi Yu and the Purple Light Queen, including the part where Qi Yu declared that “things could not be done” and then “withdrew”. Emperor Hong also knew it clearly.

Therefore, in Emperor Hong’s view, it is very important to find out Qi Yu’s bottom line, and it is something that must be confirmed first.

“This Holy Emperor is quite interesting. Earlier I thought he was brave but not very cunning. I’m afraid I underestimated him.”

“Or maybe he was trying to hide his true abilities and not reveal his true colors to others?”

After hearing what Di Hong said, Qi Yu obviously also understood the meaning behind the former’s words, and immediately said in his heart.

You know, before this, Di Hong had never shown such a meticulous mind in front of others. He mostly acted in a grand and open manner, and often did not pay attention to details.

The only time that could be considered was when he was invited to take charge of all matters of educating the human race and become the human race’s Saint Master. But at that time, several human ancestors also participated in it, so it really was not the idea of ​​the Human Race Saint Emperor alone.

At this moment, Emperor Hong had to give up the idea of ​​hiding his incompetence, which allowed Qi Yu to see a more real human Saint Emperor. The latter was naturally surprised for a moment.

However, a deep doubt came into Qi Yu’s mind——

Emperor Hong, why do you want to hide your incompetence?
