As the candle dragon explained unhurriedly, the doubts in everyone's hearts gradually dissipated.

If it is explained in this way, then the so-called Three Emperors and Five Emperors are indeed as Candle Dragon said before, they are not pure human races, but creatures created by Dayu.

However, if you think about it from another angle, then the Three Emperors and Five Emperors are actually still human races.

Because although Candle Dragon has frankly admitted that the legendary Three Emperors and Five Emperors were created by Dayu with the God-making Plan, but because of the integration of human genes in the God-making Plan, the essence of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors is still the Human Race, but it is not as pure as the original Human race.

Perhaps it is precisely for this reason that Dayu, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, Chiyou and others will recognize the Three Emperors and Five Emperors as the leaders of the human race.

Because they knew in their hearts that an existence created like the Three Emperors and Five Emperors was indeed the most suitable candidate to become the leader of the Terran race.

But what does this have to do with what we want to know now?

There is no doubt that the Three Emperors and Five Emperors existed in the ancient mythological period, and they appeared much earlier than the Xia Dynasty we just explored.

Just as I was about to open my mouth to ask the candle dragon, the candle dragon had already spoken before me, and said to us thoughtfully.

"Whether it's Nuwa Niangniang, Emperor Yu, or Xuanyuan and Chiyou, such a powerful existence as them, you seem to call them immortals."

I didn't know what I meant, but as soon as I heard the Candle Dragon's words, I responded to it.

"That's right, seniors, although later generations don't know whether there are really immortals in the world, but for the existence of these legends, later generations do invariably call them immortals, and they have never stopped worshipping them for thousands of years."

Hearing my confirmation, the candle dragon nodded slightly, and counted the major events that the Terrans had experienced in the mythical era.

"Whether it is Nuwa Niangniang Niangniang who made people from the soil, Emperor Yu who guarded the human race according to Nuwa Niangniang's decree, or the later Luo Hu who bewitched Chiyou with his heart demons, causing Xuanyuan and Chiyou to fight in the field of Zhuolu, or finally Emperor Yu created three emperors and five emperors and ordered these eight people to lead the human race, this is what happened before the Xia Dynasty."

"And after the Xia Dynasty, all dynasties did not maintain the Zen concession system of selecting talents and promoting ability, but transformed into a hereditary system with blood as a bond, and at the same time, the immortals in your mouth disappeared in the land of Shenzhou, and this world entered the era of the end of the law."

"Therefore, in addition to the transformation of the monarchy system, the Xia Dynasty is a node in this world, before the Xia Dynasty, the leader of the human race has always been the immortal in your mouth, and after the Xia Dynasty, all the kings of the past generations have become ordinary people!"

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.

Since ancient times, it has been said that the monarch is divinely endowed.

The so-called divine authority of the monarch is actually a theory of the monarch's autocratic system, and it is also a practice advocated by the monarch in order to consolidate his power during the ancient period when religion dominated the world.

As early as the third dynasty of the Xia and Shang dynasties, the kings at that time had already advocated that they were related to the legendary gods, and it was the gods who gave them orders to come to Shenzhou to rule the world, and all the people of Shenzhou could not disobey their will.

In the period of the Zhou Dynasty, there were rumors that King Wu of Zhou was ordered by the sky, and when the ancestral dragon Yingzheng ascended the throne, the jade seal of the country was directly engraved with the eight characters of "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity", so as to reflect that his power was given by God, and no ordinary person could touch it.

In later generations, the kings of all dynasties also proclaimed themselves as the Son of Heaven, and this title showed their specialness.

And now, after hearing the explanation from the mouth of the candle dragon, we have a new understanding of the so-called divine right of the king.

Indeed, the kings of later generations only used this title to reflect their own extraordinary, as a symbol of consolidating their position, and it had no practical meaning other than that.

However, before the Xia Dynasty, this so-called divine right of the monarch was not a symbol, but the truest expression.

Looking at the development of the human race, it is not difficult to find that since Nuwa Niangniang created the human race, and then whether Dayu was ordered to protect the peace of the human race as the guardian of the human race, or Emperor Xuanyuan accepted Dayu's teachings, returned to the land of Shenzhou to lead the human race on the right path, and the leader of the human race has always been not an ordinary human being.

In other words, in this period, all the people who lead the human race to the front are not humans, but what we call immortals!

At the same time, Candle Dragon has just confirmed to us that the legendary Three Emperors and Five Emperors are not pure human races, they are actually created by Candle Dragon's god-making plan and the genes of the human race.

And although the Three Emperors and Five Emperors are just creatures that were created, not immortals in our mouths, but don't forget that it was not someone else who created them, but Dayu.

There is no doubt that Dayu, who was ordered to protect the peace of Shenzhou, deserves the so-called immortal title in our mouths no matter what.

That is to say, the reason why the Three Emperors and Five Emperors were able to become the leaders of the human race was actually because they were instructed by Dayu.

To be able to become the leader of the human race, it is naturally the so-called "king", as long as he becomes a "king", what follows is the endless "monarchy", in the same way, those instructions from Dayu are naturally the so-called "divine endowment".

Monarchy, divinely granted.

It seems that this is the initial meaning of the word divine right of kings, but when the later generations come, all the immortals in our mouths disappear, and the kings of later generations do not know its true meaning, so they can only use the title as a symbol in desperation, but they don't know that this is not its true meaning.

Thinking of this, I finally understood the meaning of the candle dragon's words.

Before the Xia Dynasty, the Terran race was not fully developed, so it was impossible to elect a real leader, because Dayu was worried that the Terran would go astray, so he secretly arranged a candidate to lead the Terran.

That is to say, before the Xia Dynasty, it was actually Dayu who held the future of the human race.

After the Xia Dynasty, all the so-called immortals disappeared, and from the beginning of the Xia Dynasty, the monarchy system changed from the Zen concession system to the hereditary system.

This also means that the king is no longer chosen by the high immortals, but succeeded by virtue of blood ties.

If the Xia Dynasty is taken as the dividing line, then everything is obvious.

Before the Xia Dynasty, it was the high immortals who led the future of the human race, and after the Xia Dynasty, the human race finally grasped its own future!
