The establishment of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors required the guidance of the Teacher of the Human Sovereign. If he became the Teacher of the Human Sovereign, not only would it be beneficial for the spread of the sect, but when the Merits of the Human Sovereign were completed, the Merits from Heaven would naturally not belong to the Teacher of the Human Sovereign.
River Styx had accumulated a lot of Merits, and he had the Blood River Formation and the Nether World, which were two great tools to obtain Merits continuously. Naturally, he did not want to be the Teacher of the Human Sovereign, but his disciples could be the Teacher of the Human Sovereign!
River Styx had three disciples. Among them, Black Tortoise had the Merits of Mending Heaven, and the Four Pillars of Heaven continuously accumulated Merits for him. Therefore, he did not need the position of the Teacher of the Human Sovereign. However, Liu Er and Kong Xuan were different. They were fated to have Tribulations.
Liu Er's Tribulation was in the Pilgrimage to the West, and Kong Xuan's Tribulation was in the Apotheosized World. Although both of them had been accepted as disciples by River Styx and their fates had changed, who knew whether their Tribulations would change as well? If they could obtain the protection of the Human Sovereign's Merits from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and with the help of River Styx, their Tribulations would be gone.

In the Great Desolation, the Human Tribe had now truly occupied more than half of the land of the Great Desolation. Its strength could be said to be extremely powerful. However, there was a problem. The Human Tribe had a population of more than 100 billion, but now most of them were mortals without any cultivation.
Now, the Human Tribe did not know what grains were or what farming was. In the past, they could rely on hunting evil beasts or wild beasts for food. Now, the evil beasts had basically been driven out of the territory of the Human Tribe. The Human Tribe could only rely on hunting wild beasts and picking wild fruits to satisfy their hunger.
However, the Human Tribe had a large population. Although there were many wild beasts in the Great Desolation and they reproduced quickly, they could not withstand the hunting of the Human Tribe. Sooner or later, these wild beasts would be hunted to extinction, and the wild fruits would disappear without a trace. At that time, what would the Human Tribe eat?
Although the Human Tribe had become stronger, their population had stopped increasing. Instead, it was shrinking. The Suiren, the Yūcho Clan, and the Ziyi Clan were very anxious, but they had no solution. If this went on, the Human Tribe would be in trouble.
They naturally wanted to find Mu Sen to think of a solution, but Mu Sen only smiled and didn't say anything. He looked at the sky and mysteriously said: "The heaven's secrets cannot be revealed. When the time is right, all the problems of the human race will naturally be solved." The three ancestors were baffled.
Although Mu Sen knew how to solve these problems, he would not say it, nor could he say it. These were the problems that the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the Human Tribe had to solve. If he overstepped his authority, would there still be Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the Human Tribe?
The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were born before the human race became the protagonists of the Great Desolation. They established the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to suppress the fate of the human race. Since then, the human race would become the true protagonists of the Tendo of the Great Desolation. From then on, the human race would enter its most prosperous period.

In the Blood Sea, River Styx was quietly refining his body with the two great laws. Now that the Law of Blood and the Law of Soul had both entered the realm of Origin, the effect of refining his body was naturally better. River Styx's physical body was approaching its limit. When it reached its limit, River Styx would begin to try to transform into the body of the Chaotic Demon God.
Suddenly, a jade tablet descended from the sky. River Styx took a look at it and saw the words "Purple Cloud" written on it. Obviously, Hongjun was summoning him to the Purple Cloud Palace. Calculating the time, it was indeed the time of ten thousand years mentioned by Hongjun last time. Most likely, the other Saints had also received it.
River Styx did not delay and went straight to the Chaos. The Purple Cloud Palace was hidden in the Chaos. Even though he was now in the realm of Origin, it was not easy to find the Purple Cloud Palace. Fortunately, with the guidance of the jade tablet, River Styx arrived at the Purple Cloud Palace in a short while.
Seeing that Sanqing had arrived, River Styx nodded and sat down. Not long after, Nüwa, Summon, and Zhunti also arrived. As for Houtu, he did not come this time. Hongjun probably did not allow him to come. Last time, it was because he wanted to give her the Bell of Chaos that he made an exception and allowed Houtu to leave the Underworld.
After the seven of them gathered, they waited quietly. Other than River Styx, the other Saints did not know why Hongjun had summoned them this time. Last time, he said that the Human Tribe would prosper and asked the Saints to preach to the Human Tribe. Now that the Human Tribe had prospered and the great sects had spread, why did he summon them again?
Just as the Saints were puzzled, Hongjun had already appeared on the high platform. Hongjun looked at the Saints who were puzzled and said, "Last time, I said clearly that the Human Tribe would prosper. However, the Human Tribe has the fortune of being the protagonist of Heaven and Earth. Prosperity alone is not enough."
When the Saints heard this, they were all shocked. The Human Tribe now occupied more than half of the Great Desolation's land, and it was all fertile land. Compared to the bitter cold of the North and South and the barrenness of the West, the Human Tribe was much better. Such prosperity was not enough in Hongjun Daozu's words. Then how could the Human Tribe be truly prosperous?
Could it be that the Human Tribe had to advance to the West, or to the North and South? If that was the case, the West would benefit. Secondly, it would trigger a war between the Human Tribe, the Shaman Tribe, and the Demon Tribe. When that time came, the Great Desolation would be in chaos again. Unable to understand Hongjun's meaning, Lao Tzu could only ask, "Teacher, the Human Tribe will prosper. We have no objections.
What are your plans? "Hongjun glanced at Lao Tzu and said," If the Human Tribe wants to prosper, they must establish the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Through the teachings of the Human Tribe, they can suppress the fate of the Human Tribe. When the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors return to their positions, the Human Tribe will naturally prosper, and their fate will never decline. "
Hongjun's words made all the Sages' eyes light up. If their disciples could be the teacher of the Human Emperor, wouldn't it be more effective for them to spread their teachings? Naturally, all the Sages were aware of the importance of the Human Emperor and were determined to obtain it. Even Nüwa, who had yet to establish a sect, was deep in thought.
When Lao Tzu heard this, he immediately said, "Teacher, I am the Eldest Senior Brother of the Sages and the Master of the Ren Sect. Should I be the one to decide on the matter of the Human Emperor?" This sentence directly exposed Lao Tzu's greed. Lao Tzu's inaction was all nonsense.
When Zhunti heard this, he immediately retorted, "Eldest Senior Brother, you are wrong. Although Eldest Senior Brother is the Master of the Ren Sect, you have contributed very little to the development of the Human Tribe. What's more, during the Great Tribulation of the Human Tribe, the Human Tribe no longer recognized the Ren Sect as the religion of the Human Tribe. It is only a religion of the Human Tribe. How can the matter of the Human Emperor be decided by Eldest Senior Brother alone?"
When Zhunti said this, Lao Tzu's expression immediately became awkward. Zhunti brought up the old matter again and did not give Lao Tzu any face at all. Lao Tzu could only look awkwardly at Yuanshi and the Tongtian, hoping that the two of them could help him out.
Yuanshi sat there motionlessly, as if he did not notice Lao Tzu's gaze at all. Yuanshi was extremely opposed to Lao Tzu's words just now. If Lao Tzu had the final say on the matter of the Human Emperor's Teacher, what would it have to do with Yuanshi? Wouldn't he have to beg Lao Tzu and ask Lao Tzu to give him a few teachers of the Human Emperor? With Yuanshi's prideful personality, how could he do that?
Lao Tzu was also very angry at Yuanshi's indifference. Fortunately, at this moment, the Tongtian spoke up. "Zhunti, my elder brother's Ren School is now quite reputable in the human race. He is also our senior brother, so why can't he be the master of the Human Emperor?" Although he felt uncomfortable in his heart, in the eyes of the Tongtian, brotherly love was greater than the benefits of fate.
Seeing that the Sages were about to quarrel again, Hong Jun said, "Alright, let's not argue anymore. It's useless to say anything more. If we want to establish the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, we need the Human Emperor's supreme treasure. Otherwise, the Human Emperor will not be able to return to the throne." The position of the Human Emperor's Teacher was too tempting for the Sages. It would be strange if they did not fight for it.
The Human Emperor's supreme treasure? The Sages were immediately tempted. If they could get their hands on this treasure, it would be even more advantageous for them to become the Human Emperor's Teacher. Hence, they all began to deduce. Seeing the Sages like this, River Styx snickered secretly. The Human Emperor's supreme treasure was in the hands of his Self-Immolation Mu Sen, but would the Sages dare to snatch it from him?
Not long after, the Sages came to a conclusion. Hong Jun had already made it clear. It was not difficult for the Sages to deduce the location of the Human Emperor's supreme treasure. However, after they finished their calculations, the Sages' expressions were a little strange.
The Human Emperor's supreme treasure? The Kongtong Seal? It turned out that the Kongtong Seal was the Human Emperor's supreme treasure. However, this treasure had only appeared once during the Great Desolation, and that was during the Great Tribulation of the Human Tribe. Wu Zu Mu Sen of the Human Tribe had used it once when he fought against the Donghuang Taichi. It was able to block the Bell of Chaos, so the Sages naturally had a deep impression of it. However, they did not expect that the seal was the Human Emperor's supreme treasure.
Now that they knew, it was useless. The Kongtong Seal was in the hands of Wu Zu Mu Sen of the Human Tribe. No matter how strong the Sages were, there was no way they could snatch the Kongtong Seal from Mu Sen. Wouldn't that make the Human Tribe hostile? Hence, the Sages were in a dilemma.
