In today's ancient world, there is no Emperor of Heaven.
Heaven no longer exists, and it is impossible to maintain order in the wilderness.
The entire prehistoric world, except for the places occupied by the human race, was all in chaos.
This is true whether it is the Witch Clan or the Dragon Clan.
The Wu Clan suffered heavy casualties in this battle, and the power of the Wu Clan in the underworld was unprecedentedly weak.
Therefore, the remaining Wu clan members settled in the underworld in large numbers to maintain order in the underworld.
Outside, there are many races that do not obey the orders of the Witch Clan, making them become more wanton.
This is because the power of the Wu Clan has declined significantly, and the territory it controls has naturally shrunk overall.
Similarly, the Dragon Clan also has this problem.
The number of casualties among the Dragon Clan was no less than that of the Witch Clan, in fact it was even more!
The Sea Clan in the four seas are already very dissatisfied with the Dragon Clan, so they will take the opportunity to break out at this time.
Naturally, the number of rebels at this time became even greater.
Originally, races that were afraid of the mighty power of the Dragon Clan might not have dared to resist the Dragon Clan.
But now, it's completely different. The dragon clan's power has been greatly reduced.
Although the dragon clan still has two dragon kings and one dragon emperor, it cannot cover the entire world.
Especially in the West Sea and the South China Sea, the Dragon Kings and Dragon Generals in these two places, as well as some dragon clan Hunyuan, were almost completely wiped out.
Most of the dragon clan Hunyuan in these two seas have fallen.
Therefore, the sea people in these two sea lands are extremely arrogant.
The power of foreign tribes has also increased with the tide, and more and more sea tribes have gradually become independent.
As for the human race, there aren't many things.
After all, the human race is the winning side, and everyone knows that the human race will rule most of the future.
Therefore, even if the actual control of the human race's territory has dropped a lot, no one dares to touch the human race's rule.
This is the power of the human race.
…
Among the human race.
Xuanyuan held a court meeting as usual.
This was the first official court meeting after the end of the war.
Although Xuanyuan had already announced to the human race that he was about to abdicate, he also announced that he would elect Ying Zheng to be the next human emperor.
But these veterans who had been following Xuanyuan to conquer the world began to dissatisfy.
The reason is very simple. Although most people who followed Xuanyuan at first did so out of helplessness.
But after such a life and death fight, and also after winning.
They should have enjoyed the fruits of victory, but at this time, Xuanyuan actually chose to abdicate!
Xuanyuan's abdication is actually not too hurtful, as long as it does not affect their interests.
No matter who the new Human Emperor is passed on to, as long as it is not passed on to the human races who have come out of the mortal world in the Great Qin Empire, it will not affect their interests!
But now, it happens to be passed on to those human races who have come out of the mortal realm of the Great Qin Empire.
Although everyone is of the same human bloodline, they are all of the same bloodline and have not been tainted.
However, factions are real.
Even if everyone knows that they are of the same race, as long as they have different factions, they will attack each other when things are stable.
If people from different factions want to stand on the same front, there is only one factor, and that is the emergence of a new common enemy. Only in this way can they put aside their prejudices and stand on the same front.
But now, the heaven has been destroyed, and the demon clan has been defeated.
Therefore, it can be said that the human race no longer has so-called foreign enemies, so the factional disputes between them are real.
And now, the leader of their prehistoric human faction, the Human Emperor Xuanyuan, has actually chosen to abdicate and wants to pass the position of Human Emperor to Ying Zheng!
Who is Ying Zheng?
That is the emperor of the Great Qin Empire in the Mortal Realm!
In terms of cultivation level, it is indeed possible to serve as the Emperor of Humans or even the Emperor of Heaven, and they do not object to this.
After all, Ying Zheng is also of human blood and a descendant of human race.
From any point of view, there is nothing else to say.
But unfortunately, they have different factions!
If Ying Zheng becomes the Human Emperor, what about the Heavenly Emperor?
Is the Emperor of Heaven also Ying Zheng?
Because now that the human race has won, the Human Emperor is naturally the de facto Emperor of Heaven.
As for whether to ascend to that position, it depends on the Human Emperor's wishes.
They don't think that Ying Zheng has no idea about the position of Emperor of Heaven!
In other words, if Ying Zheng becomes the Emperor of Heaven, what should be the positions in Heaven?
Naturally, Ying Zheng would give priority to his loyal subordinates, that is, those generals brought over from the Great Qin Empire.
What should they, Xuanyuan's old subordinates, do?
Naturally, it was a little further back.
Although it doesn't mean that they won't be given good positions, the number will definitely be much smaller.
In addition, each of them has really made outstanding contributions, and their contributions are indispensable for the human race to defeat Heaven.
But now, when it comes to rewards based on merit, their positions have become less?
This is how they can endure it.
As a result, these people united together and wanted to restore Xuanyuan's life.
At least, they must first get their place in the heaven before Ying Zheng takes the throne.
In this case, even if Ying Zheng ascends to the position of Human Emperor, they will not have much to say.
Therefore, when the court meeting began, Dahong, Xuanyuan's first general, immediately stood up to speak out.
I saw Dahong walking out, looking at Xuanyuan who was sitting high up with a solemn face, bowed slightly and said: "I will see your majesty at the end."
Xuanyuan looked at Dahong coming out of the queue below, and he vaguely guessed something in his mind.
Dahong in front of him must have some dissatisfaction in his heart and wanted to refute what he said before.
"Dahong, what do you want to do?" He said indifferently.
In the past, they were the most intimate monarchs and ministers.
But today, it's different.
For the sake of profit, Dahong has gradually moved closer to those who are greedy for profit.
In fact, if Xuanyuan wants to sit on the throne of the Emperor of Heaven.
Even Ying Zheng could only watch this scene from the sidelines.
After all, the world today is still Xuanyuan’s world!
Among the human race, Xuanyuan and Horse are the leaders.
Even if Ying Zheng has the aura of the Emperor of Heaven and no matter how powerful he is, he can only go back a little bit.
Because, almost everyone in the human race recognizes Xuanyuan but does not recognize Ying Zheng.
Therefore, at this time, as long as Xuanyuan wants to climb up, it is a matter of raising his arms.
Facing the temptation of being the Emperor of Heaven, Xuanyuan never thought about becoming the Emperor of Heaven.
He just wants to pull down Di Jun, destroy this heaven that belongs to the demon race, and make the future heaven belong to the human race!
This is the meaning of his existence!
Lead the human race to the true highest peak!
Let the rest be left to future generations.
Each generation has its own mission...
This is also the understanding of all emperors since ancient times.
They all do this too.
Just like the Shennong clan in the past, the already powerful human race, the Shennong clan itself can actually lead the human race to conquer the sky.
Even if he is unable to fight against Emperor Jun, he can still wait until Xuanyuan reaches the top before carrying out the attack on the sky!
If the Shennong clan was unwilling to abdicate, then no matter how powerful Xuanyuan was, he would not be able to wrest the throne of Human Emperor from the hands of the Shennong clan alive.
Because the human race at that time worshiped the Shennong clan from top to bottom.
Even now, there are many human beings who worship Shennong very much.
At that time, Xuanyuan did not have the prestige it has today.
Just like the original Suiren clan, if the Suiren clan had not abdicated, then the Shennong clan would not have ascended the throne.
But it is precisely because of generations of human emperors who do not miss power that the human race is now prosperous!
"Your Majesty, I have something to say!" Dahong bowed first, and then spoke eloquently: "Your Majesty, today the emperor has died, and the heaven is leaderless, causing the stars to dim, and the people of the ancient world to live in dire straits."
"As the saying goes, the sky cannot be left alone for a day."
"Therefore, Dahong petitions on behalf of the people of the world, asking your Majesty to ascend to the throne of Heavenly Emperor as soon as possible, to rule the ministers in Heaven, and to restore the prosperity of the past!"
After Dahong finished speaking, almost all the ministers in the court came out to pay homage: "Your Majesty, I second my opinion!!!"
Looking at the courtiers below, Xuanyuan felt a little angry in his heart at this moment.
He did not expect that all of his ministers were such ministers.
Sure enough, people's hearts have changed.
Although these ministers are all devoted to the human race, they care more about personal interests at this time.
Unlike the previous sages, they no longer care about personal gains and losses, but focus on serving the public.
But then I thought about it, the times are different now, and it would be unrealistic for them to be like the sages.
What's more, these people really didn't do anything excessive.
It is human nature to let oneself ascend to the throne of Heaven so that they can take advantage of him.
Thinking of this, Xuanyuan couldn't help but sigh and said: "My dear friends, I already know what you mean."
"But I have no intention of being powerful. Now that the human race has been determined and the war against heaven has been successful, Ying Zheng is more suitable for the position of Emperor of Heaven than I am."
"Therefore, from now on, there will no longer be an emperor. The emperor of humans is the emperor of heaven, and the emperor of heaven is the emperor of humans."
"All of this is a certain fate."
"Of course, Ying Zheng is a man with a big heart. He will definitely be assigned positions based on merit, and there will be no favoritism for personal gain."
Xuanyuan explained to them one by one and was also trying to appease these people.
This is not only to reassure them, but also to allow Ying Zheng to ascend the throne better.
Because these people are a huge force, if they all gather together to rebel, it will not be a good thing for Ying Zheng.
At least, it's not something that Ying Zheng's forces can extinguish in a short time.
"this……"
When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other.
Yes, if this can be done, it seems to be a good thing!
But the premise is that Ying Zheng really knows how to reward according to his merits?
Does Ying Zheng really not show favoritism?
No one knows because they have never been in contact with Ying Zheng.
They had only seen Ying Zheng from a distance and knew that Ying Zheng was a great emperor born from the mortal world.
Knowing that this was the backup plan left by Xuanyuan, the rest was unknown.
As for what kind of person Ying Zheng is, no one knows.
No one dares to guarantee this.
…
the other side.
Above the heaven.
Ying Zheng wore a black dragon robe and stared directly at the sky.
Now, although most of the heavens have surrendered, the stars still seem to be faintly resisting.
He knew that this was influenced by the will of the Xingchen Ancestor.
Therefore, if you want to take full control of power, you must clear all obstacles.
The movement of the stars in the sky is inseparable from the ancestor of the stars.
In order to avoid problems in the operation of the stars in the sky, we cannot adopt a policy of forceful attack.
"I'm going to the Endless Star Territory."
Ying Zheng looked at Bai Qi in front of him and said coldly.
That's how he is, he has always shown a cold image.
All of this is inseparable from his childhood.
"Your Majesty, just go ahead, you will definitely be able to protect the heavens well!" Bai Qi bent down slightly, bowed his head, cupped his fists and bowed.
Naturally, there are countless creatures snooping around in these places in the heaven.
Each and every one of these creatures wished they could enter the Heavenly Court themselves, or seek an official position in the Heavenly Court, or have a place where they could live in peace.
The scope of the Thirty-sixth Heaven is naturally huge.
In the past, the demon clan dominated the heaven, but now all those demon clan have been swept out.
For a time, the huge heaven became empty.
And it is not true that those monsters who were swept out will never have a chance to go to heaven in the future.
Rather, it means that all forces must be reshuffled.
Anyway, the place left to the Monster Clan can no longer be as huge as it used to be.
It would be great to have one-tenth of the territory before.
…
In the star field.
Ancestor Xingchen climbed to the west and sat, staring at Ying Zheng in front of him.
Ying Zheng looked calm, looked at the Xingchen ancestor in front of him, and said calmly: "I intend to ascend the throne and become the emperor. From now on, the human emperor will be the emperor of heaven, and the emperor of heaven will be the emperor of humans."
"If that's the case, why are you looking for me again?"
Ancestor Xingchen's eyes turned gray and he said indifferently.
The two people began to compete invisibly.
"The movements of the stars in the sky cannot be separated from the support of fellow Taoists." Ying Zheng said softly without changing his expression.
"Haha, I'm so old, but I still have such abilities?"
Ancestor Xingchen laughed at himself and said: "But I don't even know that I can still have such abilities..."
"Although I was born in the mortal world, I have heard the name of Taoist Fellow. All the creatures in the world know that Taoist Fellow is a person who preached in the great wilderness. In the past, I could not bear to fall into the claws of Hongjun, but I was willing to preach in the great wilderness."
"Today, naturally I will not watch the stars in the prehistoric world move in disorder."
