Thus, Fuxi spoke through the Mountain and River Map, "After reincarnating, there will only be Fuxi of the Human Race. There will no longer be Fuxi of the Monster Race." Upon hearing this, Nüwa's expression changed greatly. She naturally understood what Fuxi meant, but she couldn't accept it in her heart.
River Styx nodded and said, "Alright, since that's the case, then the throne of the Three Sovereigns will belong to Fuxi's Daoist Friend. Nüwa's Daoist Friend, let's forget about the karma between us." Once the karma was settled, River Styx felt much more relaxed.
The five Sages — Lao Tzu, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Summon, and Zhunti — were not interested in the throne of the Human Sovereign. What they cared about was the position of the Human Sovereign's Teacher. After all, they couldn't let their disciples reincarnate to become the Human Sovereign. They could only snatch the position of the Human Sovereign's Teacher and gain some Human Sovereign merit.
The five Sages of Lao Tzu looked at each other and clearly came to an agreement. They couldn't let River Styx monopolize the position of the Human Sovereign's Teacher. Only by putting pressure on River Styx together could they obtain the position of the Human Sovereign's Teacher from him. Otherwise, it was hard to imagine how much more Human Sovereign's Destiny would increase after the Three Sovereigns, Five Emperors, and Five Brothers.
Lao Tzu calmed himself down and said solemnly, "River Styx, the teachings of the Asura Sect that you established are incompatible with the Human Race. You can only preach the Dao among the Asura Tribe. The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are for the Human Race to educate. River Styx, Daoist Friend, even if you have the Kongtong Seal, it's useless. Why don't you give the Kongtong Seal to us and let us guide the Human Sovereign?
Lao Tzu was right. The Asura Sect was indeed not suitable for the human race. The reason why the human race was able to become the main character of the world was not only because the human race was currently the strongest, but also because the human race rarely killed. Furthermore, as time went on, there would be more and more ordinary humans. Even if a great war broke out, the damage to the Great Desolation would be minimal. Tendo was the general trend. If the human race did not become the main character of the world, who else could?
River Styx sneered. "Lao Tzu, are you kidding? Why should I give my things to you? Even if my Asura Sect can no longer preach to the Human Race, I still have disciples. They are not from the Asura Sect. They can also be the teachers of the Human Sovereign. "
Hearing this, Yuanshi said, "River Styx, you only have three disciples, including the Black Tortoise of the Human Race. Do you want to monopolize the positions of the eight teachers of the Human Sovereign? The position of the Human Sovereign's teacher is no small matter. If the Human Sovereign is unable to return to his position because of you, let's see how you will explain it to Teacher."
River Styx said indifferently, "Yuanshi, don't use Daozu's name to pressure me. My ego has lived in the Human Race for so long and knows everything about the Human Race like the back of his hand. The shortcomings of the Human Race are naturally not a problem for him. It's easy for my disciples to be the Human Sovereign's teacher. When the Human Sovereign's merit is complete, he will naturally receive merit. The more merit, the better. Why should I share it with you?"
When the Five Sages heard this, they couldn't help but feel angry. River Styx was completely stubborn. They couldn't wait to kill River Styx immediately. However, this was the Purple Cloud Palace and they didn't have the guts to do so. Moreover, as long as the Blood Sea didn't dry up, River Styx wouldn't die. Even if they worked together to kill River Styx, River Styx might not really die. If they failed to kill him, what awaited them would be River Styx's crazy counterattack.
For a moment, everyone fell into silence. If River Styx didn't agree, they couldn't do anything about it. On the other hand, Nüwa, who had been watching from the side, saw clearly why the Sages were fighting for the position of the Human Sovereign's teacher. It wasn't for the sake of benefits. Nüwa didn't care if they fought, but if it delayed Fuxi's attainment of the Human Sovereign, then it had something to do with her.
In fact, Nüwa knew very well that River Styx wasn't unwilling to agree because he knew that he couldn't fight against five Sages at the same time. However, he wouldn't take the initiative to agree. The Human Race could be said to have been single-handedly supported by River Styx. No one would be willing to give away the position of the Human Sovereign's teacher for nothing. He was waiting, waiting for the Sages to give in. When that time came, River Styx's benefits would be maximized.
Since the Sages weren't willing to agree, then she would be the peacemaker. Nüwa said softly, "Everyone, since the birth of the Human Race, River Styx's Daoist Friend has sacrificed a lot. I'm afraid it's not very appropriate for you to take it by force, right?" These words made Nüwa feel a little ashamed. That's right, since the birth of the Human Race, she had never done anything for the Human Race. She was really ashamed to be the Daoist Mother.
When the five Sages heard this, they immediately realized that River Styx wasn't unwilling to hand over the position of the Human Sovereign's teacher. He was just waiting for them to agree. The world was often done for the sake of benefits, and the Sages were no exception. If not for this, with River Styx's temper, he wouldn't be sitting here talking nonsense with them. He would have left long ago.
Since Nüwa had pointed this out, Lao Tzu and the others naturally understood. Lao Tzu said, "Daoist Friend River Styx, the position of the Human Sovereign's teacher will not be given to you for free. If you have any requests, we will agree to them as long as they are not excessive." There was a hint of politeness in his words. He had no choice, since he was the one asking for help, so he naturally had to be polite.
After hearing this, River Styx said, "Indeed, eight positions of the Human Sovereign's teacher is a little too much for me. Among my disciples, only Liu Er and Kong Xuan are suitable to be the Human Sovereign's teacher. As for Black Tortoise, his cultivation is too low and he is too lazy to be the Human Sovereign's teacher. Therefore, among the Human Sovereign's and Earthly Sovereign's teachers, I only want the Human Sovereign's and the Five Emperors'.
River Styx directly put the ball in the Five Sages' court. The Five Sages were also in a dilemma. There were eight Human Sovereign's teachers in total. Now that two of them were gone, there were only six left. How were the Five Sages supposed to divide them? Moreover, what should they use to exchange for the Human Sovereign's teacher with River Styx?
Lao Tzu thought for a while and said, "I only have Xuandu as my disciple, so I only need one Human Sovereign's teacher. In that case, I will choose the first of the Five Emperors. I will exchange three Nine Transformation Golden Pills with River Styx's Daoist Friend. What do you think?"
Lao Tzu's words puzzled all the Sages. Logically speaking, there was only one Human Sovereign left. If Lao Tzu had to choose first, he should have chosen it. Why did he choose the first of the Five Emperors? After some calculation, all the Sages understood.
The Three Sovereigns of the Human Race were conferred as the Three Sovereigns of Heaven, Earth, and Human. Although the last Human Sovereign was the one with the greatest merit, the Human Sovereign unified the Human Race. With Xuandu alone, how could he help the Human Sovereign attain Dao? Therefore, Lao Tzu chose the first of the Five Emperors. It was a wise move. Although there were merit rewards for assisting the Human Sovereign, if the Human Sovereign was unable to attain Dao, there would be a lot of negative karma.
When River Styx heard this, he smiled and said, "Lao Tzu's Daoist Friend is so generous. In that case, the first of the Five Emperors will go to Lao Tzu's Daoist Friend." Three Nine Transformations Golden Pills. That was three Daluo Jinxian. Back then, River Styx wanted to refine a Daluo Jinxian that was comparable to the Nine Transformations Golden Pill. Unfortunately, he didn't succeed.
With one less Human Sovereign's Teacher, the remaining Four Yuanshi Sages were anxious. Yuanshi spoke first, "We have many disciples under us. Therefore, we will exchange four Middle Grade Innate Lingbao with River Styx's Daoist Friend for the last of the Three Sovereigns and the second of the Five Emperors. What does River Styx's Daoist Friend think of this?"
Looking at the four Middle Grade Innate Lingbao that Yuanshi Skylord sent over, River Styx was stunned. It was actually them. He couldn't help but think of someone. Therefore, he smiled and said, "Then we will do as Yuanshi Daoist Friend says." With that, he put away the four treasures.
Then, Tongtian said, "We have many disciples under us. Therefore, we also need two Human Sovereign's Teachers. The Poor Way is to exchange one Upper Grade Innate Lingbao with River Styx's Daoist Friend for the last two of the Five Emperors. What do you think?"
"Upper Grade Innate Lingbao?" River Styx looked at it and thought, "It's not bad." So he nodded. The last Human Sovereign's Teacher was naturally reserved for Summon and Zhunti. In fact, if Sanqing was in charge, they would definitely not give one to the West. But just now, the Five Sages had joined forces to put pressure on River Styx. If they didn't give one to the West, Summon and Zhunti would probably not agree.
However, Zhunti and Summon were in a bit of a dilemma. The West was barren. Although they had obtained some Lingbao from the Treasure-snatching Rock, most of it had been distributed to their disciples. It was also difficult for them to take out something valuable to exchange for the last Human Sovereign's Teacher.
Zhunti said with a troubled expression, "Daoist Friend, ever since Demon Lord Rho self-detonated, the West has become extremely barren. We really don't have anything to exchange for the position of the Human Sovereign's Teacher. Why don't you give the last one to the West? It would be a great service."
River Styx could not help laughing in his heart. This Zhunti was really stingy. He said that everything he saw was destined to be with him, but it was difficult for him to take out anything. However, River Styx already had a plan in mind. He said, "Since the West is barren, Daoist Friend only needs to take out three seeds of the Golden Lotus of Merit and a Bodhi branch in exchange. What do you think?"
