In the wilderness, under a withered tree, a meandering river flowed slowly.
Emperor Shun sat on a large rock under a withered tree by the river. His body was stooped, looking like an old tree whose heart had been hollowed out. His pair of eyes, which were glowing with a dark mist, were fixed on the river, staring at a few foot-long small fishes, which had sunk to the bottom of the river and remained motionless.
Strands of golden natural reward power had been seeping out of Emperor Shun's body. Every strand of golden natural reward power was wrapped in a dense dark mist. That was the supreme evil power of Pan Yu's brain, a pre-world supreme treasure, which was controlled by Yu Huo. Because of the terrifying effect of Pan Yu's brain, Emperor Shun recklessly let Emperor Xun replace him as the human emperor and brought a storm to the humankind.
Strands of golden natural reward power had been flowing out of Emperor Shun's body. His face twitched, and his eyes were filled with pain.
He had been consuming the natural reward power, which he had accumulated for a big half of his life, to defend himself against the erosion of Pan Yu's brain. Yu Huo was trapped in the defensive formation of Priest Hua and Priest Mu's dojo. Therefore, Yu Huo couldn't control Emperor Shun anymore. Therefore, the evil power inside Emperor Shun's body was slightly loosened. By consuming the natural reward power, Emperor Shun managed to stay half awake and half asleep.
"Non-humankind... monsters... I wish I could... kill all of you..." Emperor Shun was alone, far away from the crowd. Like a wounded old beast, he curled up in a wild area, silently enduring and struggling.
Not only was the evil power of Pan Yu's brain unbalanced, Emperor Shun's Original Devil Seed had been growing crazily in his heart. Emperor Shun bit his tongue tip to stimulate himself with the unbearable pain, forcibly suppressing the raging roars of the Original Devil Seed in his heart.
"Devil? I'm a human being, not a devil. " Emperor Shun gave a faint, plain smile on his twitching face, "I'd rather die than become a devil. So, stop whining … Before I turn into a demon, I will definitely die! "
All of a sudden, a faint silhouette flashed across between Emperor Shun's eyebrows, and all kinds of desires and emotions grew in his heart like weeds. Apart from Original Devil, another terrifying force was silently activated because of Emperor Shun's unbalanced mind. Emperor Shun snorted in pain, with a stream of blood flowing out of his mouth corner.
"Not Pan Yu's brain, not Original Devil... It's you..." Emperor Shun closed his eyes, silently enduring the boiling pain inside his body. "Our humankind, how many disasters have we suffered? Can't you just let us live in peace? "
"We humans don't have sharp claws or teeth. We can't run as fast as wild beasts. We don't have wings, so we can't fly. Our eyes can only see the scenery in front of us. We are unable to look around like wild beasts. In the wild, we are the easiest prey to attack from behind. "
"We are born so weak, and it is so hard for our people to survive. We don't have great ambitions. Generations of wise human beings, human emperors, we just want the humankind to flourish, and the civilization of the humankind to continue."
"We respect the heaven, we respect the earth, we respect the ghosts and gods, we devoutly serve the souls of our ancestors... We respect the law, but we follow the rules. We speak carefully, but we act cautiously. We fight against hurricanes and floods with our fleshly bodies, and we fight against diseases and plagues with our weak bodies."
"We don't seek immortality. After death, ashes to ashes, dust to dust. We come from nature, and we return to nature. We come to this world to appreciate the scenery, to reproduce, and to die without regrets."
"We are so weak, so lowly. Why do you want to bother us all the time? Why do you want to make us kill each other? Why do you want us to fight against each other? Why do you want to turn our own flesh against each other?"
Emperor Shun huddled on the rock, closed his eyes and murmured to himself, "I'm an old man, I've never lived a luxurious life. I've never dreamed of delicious food. Even when I drink wine, I only drink the coldest kind of wine. I'm already so old, but you still cling to me, disturbing my soul and my body."
Taking a deep breath, Emperor Shun gnashed his teeth and let out a few words from his mouth corner, "You've gone too far... We human beings are weak indeed, but how can we be your prey? I wish I could pull out my sword and kill you all. "
A creepy chuckle came from Emperor Shun's body. That was Original Devil's voice, "Kill you all? Do you think you can do that? Emperor Shun, be obedient and follow your heart. Fall, fall, why do you have to fight back? Is coarse cloth comfortable? Is brown rice delicious? Is the grain wine delicious? You're still staying with that old woman. Why don't you see how many young human girls are waiting for you to ravage and love them? "
"You're the human emperor! You should be releasing your emotions and desires to your heart's content. But look at you! You've actually dispelled your emotions and desires from your soul. You're living like a puppet made of flesh and blood … Are you worthy of living like this? "
Emperor Shun's body twitched intensely as he smiled faintly and said, "But, I'm living so simply. I'm worthy of all my people!"
A circle of divine light suddenly shone at the edge of the wilderness. The warm divine light slowly glided across the ground. Wherever it passed, the grass and trees turned green. Countless colorful wildflowers suddenly bloomed in the wilderness. When the divine light landed on the withered tree above Emperor Shun's head, the withered tree grew back. Leaves grew out from the branches, and the tree quickly became thriving.
Surrounded by the divine light, a tall and sturdy figure slowly walked over.
He had a human body and a snake body, carrying a wooden zither on his back and carrying a long ruler in his left hand. His entire body was glowing with a warm light. His face was simple and elegant, and he looked like a god. He glided across the wilderness and came to Emperor Shun.
"Shun, it took me quite a long time to find you. You're really good at hiding!" The man smilingly pressed his hand on Emperor Shun's body. A warm, natural power surged into Emperor Shun's body. The devil seed, which had just grown stronger in Emperor Shun's heart, let out an extremely evil curse, but was instantly destroyed by this warm power.
A faint howl could be heard from Emperor Shun's body. The evil power of Pan Yu's brain in Emperor Shun's body dissipated into strands of gray mist, dissipating in the wind.
A magical light sparkled from Emperor Shun's forehead, heart, and dantian simultaneously. Three beams of light flew out of Emperor Shun's body and attempted to fly into the sky. But, the man wielded the long ruler in his left hand. Following a shrill howl, the three beams of light were dispelled.
Emperor Shun opened his eyes, blinked, and looked at the man in shock.
"You … You're back!" Emperor Shun stood up and solemnly kneeled to the man, "How are you?"
The man smilingly looked at Emperor Shun, gently patted his head, and said, "I'm fine … Not only me, all those who should be back are back. The Praying and Sanctification altar is finished, and it's time to do what we should do. "
