Chapter 142 The Emperor Enters Xuanmen

“Your Majesty, why did you choose Xuanmen? In my opinion, the Fengqi Mountain lineage might also be a good choice?”

“It just so happens that I have friendships with both His Majesty Fuxi and Goddess Nuwa. It shouldn’t be difficult to ask them to protect the lineage of the Human Emperor.”

Even though Qi Yu actually welcomed Di Hong’s request, he did not agree to it immediately. Instead, he asked this question.

In response to this, Emperor Hong gave his own answer.

“Your Majesty Fuxi and Lady Nuwa are naturally the best choices, but the dispute over the Human Emperor involves the Green Emperor and the Earth Emperor, which may be a bit inappropriate.”

“But the Three Pure Ones are different. The three elders are the authentic descendants of Pangu, with a respected status and noble character. Naturally, they can be entrusted. Moreover, when the three elders taught the gods in the past, all the gods regarded the three elders as their teachers. I have taken refuge in East Kunlun, so I am not a descendant of the Human Emperor.”

“Moreover, in my opinion, you should be more pleased to see me choose Xuanmen.”

This is how Emperor Hong answered Qi Yu’s question, and it was obvious that Qi Yu agreed with this answer, especially the last sentence.

Therefore, after hearing this, Qi Yu’s smile deepened and he nodded slightly.

“It seems that your majesty has already made up his mind without my saying anything more.”

“In this case, I will introduce the three Heavenly Lords to Your Majesty. I think that the three Heavenly Lords are kind and compassionate, and there are many moral people in the human race. Your Majesty will be able to achieve your wish.”

As he spoke, Qi Yu was still sighing in his heart that Di Hong was indeed very insightful and could understand things at once.

In fact, the three strategies Qi Yu gave to Emperor Hong, namely, the best, the middle and the worst, represented his three different attitudes towards the matter of protecting the Dao after Emperor Hong finally made his choice.

Among them, if Emperor Hong insisted on taking the worst approach, then Qi Yu would naturally just “do his best” for the latter. After Emperor Hong left, he would take care of the human race, and the two would be even. In the future, as long as Emperor Jiang did not come to fight Qi Yu, Qi Yu would not pay too much attention to whether Emperor Hong lived or died.

After all, there are three thousand worlds and chaos. How could Qi Yu possibly keep an eye on the movements of Di Hong and Di Jiang all the time?
Protecting the human race is definitely a great effort.

And if Emperor Hong chooses the best strategy and stands completely on his side, then according to the agreement between him and Queen Zi Guang, Qi Yu will at most spend more time and energy to protect the former until Emperor Hong completely becomes the third generation Human Emperor and takes charge of the Human Emperor Palace.

Of course, as a price, Emperor Hong and the lineage of the Human Emperor he controls would naturally completely surrender to Qi Yu. Even though Emperor Hong would find it difficult to become a subordinate god of Qi Yu due to his status as the Human Emperor, the outcome of the matter would not change.

This was naturally a reasonable deal. After all, even if Qi Yu was not afraid of the Wu Clan, how could he protect them without paying anything?

You know, being able to save his life and successfully inherit the throne of the Emperor is already one of the best outcomes that Emperor Hong can achieve in the current crisis.

There is gain only after loss, this is the law of nature and there is no need to explain more.

However, whether it is the best strategy or the worst strategy, it is not the result that Qi Yu most wants to see.

Just like what Di Hong is doing now, choosing the middle strategy and joining Xuanmen is actually what Qi Yu most wants to see.

After all, for Qi Yu, the value brought by conquering the lineage of the Human Emperor is far less than the value that can be generated by bringing the Human Emperor’s Taoism into the immortal way.

You must know that the Human Emperor’s position, as the fundamental position in the Heavenly Dao, is of extremely high status and has extremely enormous authority. It is truly a supreme position that is higher than the Primordial Chaos and can touch the root of the Heavenly Dao!
When such Taoism is separated from the divine way and turned into the immortal way, the impact it brings is naturally incomparably huge.

The most intuitive thing is that the fortune of Xuanmen will inevitably skyrocket the moment the Human Emperor enters Xuanmen. The foundation of the Gods’ Heavenly Court will therefore be shaken. This can also lay the foundation for the immortals to enter the Heavenly Court after the catastrophe of wizards and demons and completely become the mainstream of the prehistoric world!
Moreover, such influence seems to be acting on the immortal way and bringing benefits to the entire Xuanmen, but it has little value to Qi Yu personally, but in fact it is not the case! After all, Qi Yu is now one of the ancestors of Xuanmen.

You know, the immortal position, one of the nine great ancestors, is still in Qi Yu’s hands!
Therefore, if the fortune of Xuanmen rises, as one of the founders of the immortal sect, how could Qi Yu not benefit?

In particular, this gain also originates from the Shinto, and the lineage of the Human Emperor must be closely related to the way of the gods. From this, it can be imagined that as the ancestor of the gods, Qi Yu must have benefited the most!
There is absolutely no doubt about this!

Moreover, Qi Yu’s original purpose was actually to stay in Heaven. The reason why he joined Xuanmen, from the beginning to the end, was to strive for the trend of Xuanmen ruling the sky!
Therefore, Qi Yu will naturally do his best to promote all things that are beneficial to this trend. Only in this way can the influence of the Great Way of Immortality be maximized, and thus, Qi Yu’s status after the establishment of the new order can be established, so as to build the foundation for his impact on the Holy Realm of Hunyuan.

Of course, in addition to these reasons, there is another important reason why Qi Yu is keen to see the Human Emperor’s lineage enter the immortal path.

That is, as he entered the human race, the relationship between him and the human race had already become extremely close in the eyes of outsiders. Along with this, naturally, both the human race and he were labeled with each other.

And when Emperor Hong entered Xuanmen, in the eyes of the Xuanmen immortals, wasn’t he labeled as Qi Yu, the Emperor of Xuanmen?
In this way, even if Qi Yu does not take the initiative to attack the Human Emperor Palace lineage, the foundation of this lineage will still be in the hands of the former, and he does not have to worry about dealing with internal and external opposition and gathering the power of the Human Emperor Palace lineage. How can this not be considered killing two birds with one stone?
All in all, apart from the matchmaking, he doesn’t need to put in any effort. He can just sit back and enjoy the results while the Xuanmen and even the Three Pure Ones take action.

Afterwards, whether it was the Three Pure Ones or Emperor Hong, they all still owed him karma and favors. Is there really a more profitable deal in the world than this?
In Qi Yu’s opinion, there is probably no other family like it.

All these combined are the fundamental reason why Qi Yu was happy to see Di Hong’s choice.

Of course, although Emperor Hong chose to seek refuge in Xuanmen and the Three Pure Ones, and Qi Yu also wanted to actively promote this matter, this matter cannot be done too hastily.

On the one hand, it would take time for the Three Pure Ones and Emperor Hong to come into contact with each other. Negotiations could not be concluded overnight, not to mention that it involved such a major matter as the legal succession of the Emperor of Man. Both sides had to be extremely cautious.

On the other hand, the Human Emperor’s law system has entered the immortal way. This kind of thing is not good to make a big fuss. After all, the Human Emperor’s law system can be regarded as the pillar of the divine way and the foundation of the gods.

If the pillars were pulled out before Taiyi abdicated, then the God Clan Emperor who was about to attain enlightenment would definitely be able to attack East Kunlun directly, which would mean a direct war between the God Clan and the Xuanmen Immortal Dao! Even the Purple Light Queen would turn against him and not recognize the previous deal!

After all, this is a battle of positions, a fundamental battle, and there is no room for reconciliation!
In fact, if Emperor Hong was not from an acquired race and only rebelled against his innate nature to become a human god after achieving enlightenment, otherwise, there would be no room for negotiation on such a matter.

Therefore, even if the Human Emperor’s legal system and the Immortal Path were to merge, it could only happen after Taiyi and Zi Guang had died one after another, and the two lineages of wizards and liches presided over the Heavenly Court.

By then, the Xuanmen lineage must have made all preparations for war. Only under such circumstances could they go against the trend of the entire God Clan and pry open the corners of the Shinto and dig at the foundation of the Heavenly Court.

After Qi Yu explained the cause and effect of this matter to Di Hong, the latter naturally expressed his understanding and said that it was up to Qi Yu to make the decision on the matter. This made Qi Yu even more satisfied, and the atmosphere of the conversation in the quiet room became more relaxed.

After chatting for a few more words, Di Hong and Qi Yu both walked out of the quiet room, and at this time, the former spoke to the latter.

“Now that the grand ceremony is over, it’s time for you, the Saint Master, to fulfill your duties. Why not send more disciples to various tribes of the human race to take charge of education?”

“If you have time, you can also give lectures on the great Dao of Xuanmen to the younger generation in the ancestral land to promote the wonderful Dharma.”

Qi Yu had no objection to this.

“That’s fine too.”
