In Pu Ban City, the streets were packed with people.
Human beings were passionately discussing what kind of person the new emperor was. Ninety-nine percent of human beings didn't know the name Gong Sun Su Su, because they had never heard of him.
In Pu Ban City, in terms of popularity, Si Wen Ming was at least a hundred thousand times more famous than Gong Sun Su Su.
With the simplest, most primitive passion and hope, human beings discussed everything about Gong Sun Su Su. They hoped for a 'good' new emperor to lead the human beings to a better life.
Many human beings were confused. Shouldn't the new human emperor be Si Wen Ming?
But, Gong Sun Su Su was from the Gong Sun Family, which gave him a great advantage. As a descendant of Emperor Xuanyuan, it shouldn't be a problem, should it? Besides, Emperor Shun was highly respected in the hearts of human beings. Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary human beings, he must have given Gong Sun Su Su a lot of careful consideration before he abdicated the throne of the human emperor.
Gong Sun Su Su was definitely more suitable to be the new emperor than Si Wen Ming. Otherwise, why would Emperor Shun choose him?
Outside Pu Ban City, an incomparably enormous altar had been built overnight. Bonfires were blazing. Magi Palace Maguspriests had been slaughtering offerings around the bonfires, offering to the world's gods, praying for good weather and a long, prosperous humankind.
Numberless human beings surrounded the altar, forming a boundless ocean.
They shouted the name of Emperor Shun, who was standing on top of the altar. From time to time, the tsunami-like shouts of Gong Sun Su Su could be heard. Gradually, Gong Sun Su Su's name was heard in the crowd as well. Many people glanced around, trying to see him as soon as possible.
Gong Sun Su Su's group of elders and core members of the Gong Sun Family had been walking in the crowd. They were happy, but also a little anxious. They had been exchanging opinions with the leaders of large families and clans.
They clearly understood that Gong Sun Su Su shouldn't be the next human emperor. But, for the benefit of the Gong Sun Family, since Emperor Shun proposed Gong Sun Su Su as the next human emperor, the Gong Sun Family was more than happy to let him go.
However, because Gong Sun Su Su was the most unpopular one among human beings, the Gong Sun Family had to make deals with the other large human families and clans, and make all kinds of promises. Only in this way could Gong Sun Su Su safely ascend to the throne.
If it were Si Wen Ming, he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble to take over the throne of the Human Emperor.
In the boundless crowd, clan leaders and princes from large families and clans, who were on good terms with Si Wen Ming and supported him to take over the throne of the human emperor, had their faces darkened, seeming to burst into a thunderous rage at any moment.
Emperor Shun had actually given up on Si Wen Ming, and was going to give the throne to Gong Sun Su Su, who had no morals, no talent, and was a dissolute man. These clan leaders and princes from large families were filled with anger. As long as there was a little bit of external stimulation, they would explode immediately.
But even though they were full of anger, they couldn't let it out no matter what.
Where was Si Wen Ming?
Where was Si Wen Ming?
If Si Wen Ming weren't here, Ji Hao, who was now the ruler of the heaven, would be powerful enough to control the situation.
But Ji Hao wasn't here either! Si Wen Ming was nowhere to be found, and neither was Ji Hao in Pu Ban City. Even Si Wen Ming and those important commanders and ministers around Ji Hao were nowhere to be found.
Without a leader, these clan leaders and princes who supported Si Wen Ming didn't know what to do. They didn't know how to deal with the situation. They clearly understood that the Gong Sun Family had been forming alliances. With every passing quarter of an hour, the Gong Sun Family would gain more and more support.
Si Wen Ming had enemies among human beings. On the contrary, during the late stage of the flood control, Si Wen Ming and Ji Hao offended too many people. Countless large families and clans had become their enemies.
Back then, Emperor Xuanyuan, Shennong, and the other former human emperors showed up and forcibly suppressed these families and clans that opposed Si Wen Ming.
But now, Emperor Xuanyuan, Shennong, and the other former human emperors were nowhere to be found. Emperor Shun had already announced that he would abdicate the throne to Gong Sun Su Su. Therefore, for those who opposed Si Wen Ming and Ji Hao, as long as they were given some benefits, they would be happy to see it happen.
If Gong Sun Su Su ascended to the throne … What could Si Wen Ming and Ji Hao do?
Si Wen Ming had been risking his life for the humankind all these years. He led countless brothers and friends to shed blood for the humankind. But, were all his contributions wasted? He had made so many contributions for the humankind. Were they all just a blank piece of paper? Countless human warriors and heroes who sacrificed themselves for the humankind, were they going to disappear just like that?
"What the hell is going on?" Huaxu Lie, Lie Mountain Kang and the other princes stomped their feet in anger. Along with many of their allies, they anxiously looked around and yelled, "Brother Wen Ming, brother Wen Ming, why did you suddenly make a mistake at such a critical moment? Ji Hao, you kid, where did you go? Where on earth did you and brother Wen Ming go? "
Without Si Wen Ming and Ji Hao, Huaxu Lie and the other princes had no excuse, no reason, no right to interrupt the abdication ceremony.
Many clan leaders, earls, and marquises, who were close to Si Wen Ming, even had their faces blushed. They felt so depressed that they even wanted to vomit blood.
Abruptly, a You Chong Clan elder growled in a deep voice, "Send people to the heaven to find them now. Minister Wen Ming isn't here, neither is Emperor Ji Hao. He must have trusted subordinates in the heaven. Forcibly interrupt the abdication ceremony in the name of the heaven! "
The others' eyes shone. Immediately, tens of figures flashed out of the crowd.
The You Chong Clan elder was right. The heaven was the rightful ruler of Pan Gu world. Interrupting the abdication ceremony of the humankind with the power of the heaven was indeed a bit inappropriate, but reasonably, it was reasonable.
As long as the heaven showed up and questioned Gong Sun Su Su's qualification to be the next human emperor, and as long as the heaven showed a tough attitude, it would be impossible for Gong Sun Su Su to succeed to the throne, even without thinking about it.
Emperor Shun stood on top of the altar and took over a prayer scroll handed to him by Wulong Yao.
He unrolled the scroll and began incanting a spell of worship with a resonant voice. He prayed to the gods in the world to protect the humankind, to bless the humankind with a thriving population, good weather, and to bless all human clans with abundant food and clothing, living in peace and contentment.
He had to recite the prayer for many times before the abdication ceremony, which would last at least half a month.
In the north of Pu Ban City, a million miles away from the city, Wuzhi Qi roared hoarsely and wielded his dark ice cudgel, fighting against Huoyuan and about ten people. Blood gushed out of Wuzhi Qi's body, which was covered in wounds. The ground was covered in icebergs formed from Wuzhi Qi's blood.
Huoyuan's eyes sparkled with a dim light as he said blandly, "Wuzhi Qi, I didn't think that your soul has already merged with your body... But, you can't go back to Pu Ban City to send a message."
Responding to Huoyuan, Wuzhi Qi launched a full-strength strike with his cudgel.
