At this very moment.
Not far from the Xuan Yuan Tomb, in a cave on a secluded mountain peak.
Four golden statues exuding an extremely dense aura of merit incense sat cross-legged on four high platforms.
One could clearly see that on these four high platforms, the golden statue in the middle was the largest. It was also the most majestic and imposing. The owner of this golden statue also looked younger and more handsome than the other golden statues.
If there were any commoners here, they would definitely call out the name of this golden statue in shock. It was Dao Ancestor Ao Qing!
Beside Dao Ancestor Ao Qing were the other three human emperors — Fuxi, Shennong, and the Yellow Emperor!
While no one was paying attention, the Yellow Emperor, who was being protected by the merit incense, sat quietly on the high platform. A soul slowly walked out of the golden statue — it was the Yellow Emperor's soul.
One could see that the Yellow Emperor's soul was much dimmer than before. Clearly, he was enjoying less incense than before.
The other two Renhuangs beside the golden statue were the same as the Yellow Emperor. They were enjoying far less incense than before. Obviously, the amount of incense they were enjoying was also much less.
"Tell me, how did Dao Ancestor Ao Qing do it?
The merit and providence of the three human emperors are getting weaker and weaker. On the other hand, this kid's golden body of merit is getting more and more dazzling! "
The Yellow Emperor looked at Ao Qing's golden body of merit that was getting bigger and bigger. As he spoke, a hint of envy and jealousy appeared in his eyes.
"I don't know either. I only know that Dao Ancestor Ao Qing has been running around the human world a lot recently. He even created Confucianism, invented Daoism, and taught Mozi and the Gongshu Clan to invent mechanisms …" Human Emperor Shennong said curiously.
"Created Confucianism?
Invented Daoism?!
Taught Mozi?! "
The Yellow Emperor, one of the Human Emperors, was stunned when he heard this. "What's wrong? Is it better than the merit of Shennong tasting a hundred herbs?"
"It's not just huge. Shennong also attained the Human Emperor's Golden Body by tasting hundreds of grasses. If Ao Qing hadn't founded the Heavenly Dragon Divine Sect, he would've established the Confucian Taoism or established the Taoism. These merits would've been enough for him to enter the Fire Cloud Cave. Now, all these merits belong to Tao Ancestor Ao Qing!" The Human Emperor Fuxi said as he divined with the Eight Trigrams.
Hearing this, the Yellow Emperor and Shennong, who originally looked down on Ao Qing, looked at each other in surprise. They didn't expect this guy who only knew how to create the Heavenly Dragon Divine Sect to have such ability!
It should be known that it wasn't easy to attain Dao merit. In this mythological world, many top experts had tried many methods …
"Alright, don't be envious of Tao Ancestor Ao Qing's increasingly powerful Golden Body of Merit. When Tao Ancestor Ao Qing arrives, we need to discuss the candidates for the future Human Emperor." The Human Emperor Fuxi suddenly scratched his head and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, a vigorous and loud voice suddenly reverberated, "Human Emperors, long time no see!"
Hearing Ao Qing's familiar voice, Shennong, Fuxi, and the Yellow Emperor hurriedly turned their heads, their faces full of enthusiasm.
Even if they were the Three Emperors of the Human Race, they didn't dare to show any disrespect to Ao Qing. After all, Ao Qing was at the peak of his popularity and his Heavenly Dragon Divine Sect was spread throughout the human world. Offending him was tantamount to courting death.
"Long time no see!" The Three Emperors of the Human Race all responded.
While they were talking, Ao Qing had already returned to his Golden Body of Merit and returned to his seat on the high platform. His eyes swept across the other Three Emperors.
For some reason, the moment the Three Emperors felt Ao Qing's gaze, an indescribable sense of fear arose in their hearts. It was as if the person standing in front of them wasn't a Human Emperor but a Demon God.
"There's no time to lose. Since Tao Ancestor Ao Qing is here, why don't we discuss it? Now that the dynasty is about to change, which emperor do you think is more suitable to be the Human Emperor?"
Human Emperor Chi You said straightforwardly. As he spoke, he waved his hand and an aura suddenly swept up. In front of the Human Emperors, a picture of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period appeared. Each emperor of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period was labeled.
Seeing the picture of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, the corners of Ao Qing's mouth twitched slightly. If the Three Emperors weren't standing here, he would definitely think that he was reading a history book.
Because the picture of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period in front of him was exactly the same as in a history book …
"Since we're going to be the Human Emperor in the future and unify the country, then I think the Chu Kingdom is the most suitable. The Chu Kingdom's emperor is also the most diligent among all the emperors." One of the Three Emperors, Emperor Huang, pointed at the picture of the Chu Kingdom, his face full of optimism.
"The Qi Kingdom isn't bad either … Why choose the Chu Kingdom …" One of the Three Emperors, Shennong, frowned.
"Why do I feel that the Zhao Kingdom, which hides its strength and bides its time, will obtain the final victory?" Fuxi said slowly, his eyes shining with curiosity and anticipation.
Listening to the discussion of the Human Emperors, Ao Qing smiled bitterly. He thought to himself, "So this is how the emperors in history were chosen?"
However, this was indeed the case. Many of the founding emperors were powerful enough to unify the country in a few years, especially the Great Magician Liu Xiu himself. He directly summoned meteorites and destroyed hundreds of thousands of enemies in one night …
In just three short years, he went from the head of an unknown small family to the founding emperor who unified the whole of China.
With these Three Emperors secretly adding fuel to the fire behind the scenes, how could he not become the founding emperor?
However, what made Ao Qing curious was, "Wang Mang," who was known as the transmigrator, what was going on?
"What if I think the Qin Kingdom will obtain the final victory and Ying Zheng will be the final winner?
The current Qin Kingdom is the remnant of six generations of hard work and has undergone Shang Yang's reform. It has long become rich and powerful! "
Just as the three sovereigns were in a heated argument, Ao Qing suddenly spoke.
Hearing that Ao Qing actually guessed the Qin Kingdom, the Three Emperors immediately revealed waves of laughter.
"The Qin Kingdom is strong, but compared to the old warring states like the Qi Kingdom and the Chu Kingdom, it's unknown how much weaker it is. Dao Ancestor Ao Qing, you're still too young …" Fuxi chuckled.
"Since that's the case, why don't we make a bet?"
Ao Qing smiled slightly with his hands behind his back. He looked as if he wanted to see the Three Emperors make a fool of themselves. "And this bet better have some stakes!"
Hearing that Ao Qing actually wanted to make a bet, the Three Emperors immediately became interested.
The Yellow Emperor immediately said, "Say it, what do you want to bet? I'll accompany you!"
"Me too!" Fuxi nodded heavily.
The poor Three Emperors had no idea that the young man standing in front of them, Ao Qing, had already grasped most of history.
