Chapter 430: The Tribulation of the Afterland
The establishment of the Four Emperors of Heaven is not just the emergence of four new Great Emperors in the Flood World, but a sign, a sign of the arrival of a new era of rule.
Since there were these 4 Great Emperors, it marked the arrival of the era when the innate beings led by the Hongjun Dao people began to rule the desolate world.
The Arctic Emperor, the Antarctic Immortal Emperor, the Gouchen Emperor, and the Houtu Emperor are the four major continents they manage in addition to Zhonghao Tianzhou, including Dongsheng Shenzhou, Xiniuhe Continent, South Ganbu Continent, and North Julu Continent.
It should be said that with the exception of the overseas continents that were of little value in the eyes of these innate beings and had been shattered, they had already incorporated the Flood World into their management.
This kind of management, although it is still superficial and nominal management, will naturally become real management over time if there is no strong opposition from the race.
At this time, what the desolate world lacked was a strong force, the witch clan and the demon clan had been crippled, the human race had not risen strongly, and the innate beings had seized power peacefully without starting a war, realizing their long-standing dream.
This is something that no one thought of in advance, including Zhang Haotian, of course.
For the desolate world, it seems to have become a law that the strong are respected and the strength is dominant. But in this power shift, that law has been broken.
Whether it is the overall number or the high-end number, especially in terms of comprehensive strength, the innate beings are still inferior to the Wu clan and the demon clan, but in this case, the innate creatures can catch up and overwhelm the Wu clan and the demon clan, becoming the dominant player in the desolate world.
This has to be said that "the snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits".
The Lich War caused the Lich's power to be implicated in cause and effect, and their luck was greatly reduced, and they had to choose to avoid three feet, thus allowing the innate beings to pick up a big bargain.
And the innate beings are indeed blessed with deep blessings and strong roots, not only the first to recover their strength, but also seized this rare opportunity, seized the opportunity, occupied the high point, and at least successfully suppressed the witch clan and the demon clan in name.
If it was a little later, with the number of witch clans and demon clans, with their potential and qualifications, there would definitely be no chance for innate beings.
But the world is impermanent, and it is such a coincidence that the innate beings seized the opportunity and successfully ascended to the position.
And choosing Houtu to become his own elector and become an emperor was also something Zhang Haotian had not thought of before.
At the beginning, when Zhang Haotian got the quota of the emperor, he was the only one who did not determine the candidate on the spot.
He just has a tendency, and that is the ancestor of the human race, the Queen Mother of the West.
In Zhang Haotian's view, the position of the Great Emperor is just a name in the final analysis, although it carries merits and can help living beings improve their realm and cultivation, but at the same time, it is also very easy to involve great cause and effect.
And the Queen Mother of the West, as the ancestor of mankind, no matter how she avoids it, has to serve as this cause and effect.
If merit is helped, not only will their realm be greatly and rapidly improved, but it will also help to maintain human beings.
To say that the current realm of the Queen Mother of the West is also extremely high, reaching the high level of Da Luo Jin Xian, as she has no direct teacher, this is a rare achievement.
Of course, as the ancestor of human beings, their roots and qualifications are not comparable to ordinary beings.
Even the Eastern Princes had reached the level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal not long ago.
If he hadn't been worried about the cause and effect here, Zhang Haotian would have accepted the Queen Mother of the West as an apprentice a long time ago, so now the Creation Dojo would have one more pseudo-saint-level existence.
Of course, finding the Queen Mother of the West as the emperor is just an idea, Zhang Haotian did not discuss with the Queen Mother of the West, and asked for her opinion.
When he returned to the Creation Dojo, he found Wuji, Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, Bixiao, Hanzhixian, Gan Tuan, and Thunder God's apprentices, as well as Lu Wu, the Queen Mother of the West, and the Prince of the East to discuss the selection of the Great Emperor.
Thor was originally only a registered disciple, and he was a disciple that Zhang Haotian had only recently officially included.
When Zhang Haotian was chatting with his apprentices, he talked about the formation of the Heavenly Court, especially the issue of the candidates for the Great Emperor.
Zhang Haotian said to the Queen Mother of the West: "Queen Mother of the West, although you are not my disciple, but after all, you are the one who went out of my Creation Dojo, what do you think of this matter of Heavenly Court and the Great Emperor?"
"Congratulations to the Daoist for winning the Great Emperor's choice!" Queen Mother Xi said in a playful voice: "This is a new pattern, as long as the Great Emperor is powerful, his power and strength will increase greatly, and it will be Heavenly Court and the Great Emperor who will rule the desolate world in the future." ”
Zhang Haotian nodded, and was about to ask: "So, do you have any thoughts about the position of the emperor?"
But just as he was thinking, Zhang Haotian's heart suddenly shook, and he felt that there would be something wrong with this, so he stopped saying nothing and pondered the key to this.
After a while, I saw Jiufeng of the Wu clan hurrying over, and said anxiously: "Dao Master, please go and see the Houtu Ancestor Witch......!
Jiufeng couldn't stop crying, and couldn't say any more.
When Zhang Haotian saw Houtu, he was also extremely surprised: "It was fine some time ago, how could this be?"
I saw that Houtu's body was extremely dilapidated, his spirit was sluggish, and he looked like he had died casually, and it was obvious that there were five decays of heaven and man.
Under the five decays of heaven and man, it is a person who is about to die in heaven, there is no one who will die, not to mention that he will die, but there is little hope of survival.
Houtu smiled bitterly and said: "The Wu clan has reached this point, and it has a great relationship with our Wu ancestors, and it is better for me to make some sacrifices as a Wu ancestor than to let the younger generations be suppressed by luck all the time and not be allowed to advance an inch." ”
It turned out that in order to get rid of the situation that the luck of the Wu clan was suppressed, Houtu sacrificed to heaven and earth and contracted all the cause and effect of the Wu clan, causing him to decline overnight, and his cultivation declined, and he could die at any time.
The thunder god of the Wu clan also followed, hurriedly ran forward, and cried: "Houtu Ancestor Witch, you are already the last ancestor of our Wu clan, without you, what can our Wu clan do?"
Hou Tu said sternly: "Thunder God, you are now an official disciple of the Dao Lord of Creation, and the affairs of the Wu Clan will have nothing to do with you in the future, remember to remember." ”
Then, Hou Tu said softly to Xingtian and Chiyou: "You are all very good now, especially Xingtian and Chiyou have broken through the Great Witch level and reached the Ancestral Witch level. But Xingtian and Chiyou are easy to be impulsive, so you have to listen to Jiufeng more in the future. ”
Hou Tu turned his head to Jiufeng and instructed: "Jiufeng, your qualifications are excellent, if it weren't for the need for you to lead the Wu Clan and delay your cultivation, you would definitely be at the level of Ancestral Witch now." But after I leave, the current Wu Clan can't live without you, you can measure it yourself, no matter what, cultivation is fundamental!"
Although Houtu sat there and couldn't move, he still respectfully saluted Zhang Haotian and said: "Daoist Master, thank you very much for your care and help to the Wu Clan, without your rescue several times, the Wu Clan may be wiped out, thank you for your great grace." I'm very sorry, I guess I'll have to trouble you in the future, and help take care of the Wu clan without hindering you. ”
Hou Tu finally said solemnly to Jiufeng, Xingtian, Chiyou and other people of the Wu Clan: "The grace of the Dao Lord of Creation, my Wu Clan can't forget it." As the ancestral witch, I will give one last order! Whatever the Dao Lord of Creation points to, the Wu clan will follow. ”
"Obey!" Jiufeng, Xingtian, Chiyou and other people of the Wu clan hurriedly knelt on the ground and cried.
"It should be here, it seems that the human race is still not here yet!" Zhang Haotian stood there and did not move, and after carefully deducing, he said: "Houtu Ancestor Wu, you don't have to be like this, if I say that there is a way to save you, are you willing?"
Hou Tu smiled: "Thank you to the Daoist Master, but I feel that my time is numbered, and besides, the sky is going to kill me, how can I save it?"
Zhang Haotian said with a smile: "Since the sky can kill you, of course the sky can also save you." However, I want to wronged you!"
