Chapter 113 Chi You Proves the Dao to the Emperor Tai
Chapter 113: Chi You Proves the Dao of the Tai Emperor
Taishang and Yuanshi took the initiative to admit defeat and summoned all the people on the Zhuolu Land and the disciples of the Chan and Erjiao sects back. With the defeat of Xuanmen, Chiyou led the Jiuli tribe to completely crush the Youxiong tribe. Xuanyuan exhausted his cultivation and committed suicide. The Youxiong tribe was exiled to the Hundred Thousand Mountains. This battle for the common master of the human race finally ended with the victory of the Jiuli tribe.
After defeating the Youxiong tribe, Chiyou led the Jiuli tribe to sweep across the entire north. Without the Youxiong tribe as their leader, the northern tribes were unable to withstand the Jiuli tribe's offensive and all submitted to the Jiuli tribe.
After conquering the northern tribes, Chi You turned his attention to the west. The last obstacle to unifying the human race was the western tribes, led by the Feng Gun tribe.
Inside the Human Race Temple, Fuxi was somewhat disappointed with the result. Xuanyuan had failed, and it was a foregone conclusion that Chiyou would become the next Human Emperor. After Chiyou attained the status of Human Emperor, the power of the Xuan Chu lineage within the Human Race would grow even stronger, while the Xuanmen would become increasingly weak.
"Your Majesty, Chi You and the Jiuli tribes are coming on strong. What should we do? The chieftain has sent me to hear Your Majesty's opinion." In Fuxi's residence, the Grand Elder of the Fenggun tribe said to Fuxi. Now that Chi You has integrated the three major tribes of the East, South, and North, only the Western tribes, led by the Fenggun tribe, remain. The Fenggun tribe chief was at a loss, so he sent someone to the Human Race Temple to ask Fuxi for his opinion. After all, wasn't it Fuxi who instructed the Western tribes to join Xuanyuan's camp in the first place? Now that things have developed to this point, Fuxi has no choice but to take responsibility.
"Alas..." Fuxi sighed and said, "Things have come to this, the tide has turned, let the people stop their futile resistance and surrender to Chi You."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
With Fuxi's instruction, the chief of the Fenggun tribe led the leaders of various western tribes to pay homage to Chiyou and submit to him. In this way, Chiyou completed the unification of the entire human race.
After unifying the human race, Chi You, surrounded by the leaders of various human tribes, arrived at the human temple, intending to assume the position of the supreme ruler of the human race.
Inside the human race's sacred temple, Shennong looked at his junior brother Chiyou with great satisfaction. In front of a group of high-ranking human race officials, he passed the position of human race's supreme ruler to Chiyou. Shennong smiled and said to Chiyou, "Chiyou, congratulations on winning the final victory. The position of human race's supreme ruler is yours."
"Thank you, Shennong, the Earthly Emperor!" Chi You said with a smile after the dust settled.
"Earthly Emperor is just a title given to me by outsiders. You and I are from the same sect, so there is no need to be so polite. Just call me Senior Brother," Shennong said.
"Yes, senior brother!" Chi You readily agreed and addressed Shennong as senior brother.
"Good, good, good!" Shennong smiled and patted Chiyou on the shoulder, saying, "I'm entrusting the human race to you. I'll be waiting for you at the Human Race Temple until the day you become the Human Emperor."
After unifying the human race, with the Human Race Temple not intervening, only Chi You's voice remained for the entire human race. In order to better govern the human race, Chi You built the first capital city of the human race, Pengcheng, on the banks of the Si River in the east, as the future ruling center of the human race.
Moreover, Chi You divided the human race's territory into nine provinces, with Pengcheng as the center. Eight families formed a well, three wells formed a neighborhood, three neighborhoods formed a group, three groups formed a village, five villages formed a town, ten towns formed a city, ten cities formed a division, and ten divisions formed a province.
The Nine Provinces were Ji, Yu, Yong, Yang, Yan, Xu, Liang, Qing, and Jing, which completely ended the tribal-based management system and marked the first appearance of the concept of a nation.
In order to better manage the human race, Chi You also established more than a hundred official positions, selecting virtuous and capable people from among the human race to fill these positions. He also minted coins and established weights and measures, making a great contribution to the development of the human race.
Fifty years after Chi You unified the human race, the human race's development had gradually gotten on track. Chi You also felt that he was about to achieve his goal, so after informing his teacher Jin Peng, he went to the human race's sacred temple surrounded by a group of human officials.
When Chi You arrived at the human race's sacred temple, a group of high-ranking human leaders, headed by Emperor Fuxi, had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Chi You pays respects to the Ancestor!" Chi You said, bowing to Fu Xi and the others.
Fuxi nodded, then winked at Shennong. Shennong nodded slightly, then walked towards Chiyou and said, "Chiyou, congratulations. Behind us is the altar of the Holy Temple. Go up there, offer sacrifices to Heaven and Earth, and become the Emperor of Man."
"Yes!" Chi You cupped his hands in response and then slowly walked up to the altar.
After Chi You ascended the altar, Xuan Chu and Tong Tian descended.
"Greetings to Daoist Master Xuanchu and Master Tongtian!" the crowd said, bowing to Xuanchu and Tongtian.
"No need for formalities. Today, Chi You is the protagonist, and we are all witnesses. Chi You, you may begin!" Xuan Chu said.
"Yes, Ancestor!" Chi You said.
Chi You looked up at the sky, cupped his hands, and proclaimed loudly, "The Great Dao above, the Earthly Dao above, the Primordial Daoist Venerable above, the Holy Mother Nuwa above, the Master of Heaven above, I am Chi You, the common ruler of the human race. During my reign, I unified the human race, established nations and families, minted coins, and established weights and measures. Now that my merits have been fulfilled, I wish to attain the holy position of Human Emperor. I hope that the Great Dao, the Earthly Dao, the Primordial Daoist Venerable, the Holy Mother Nuwa, and the Master of Heaven will witness my ascension. I am the Supreme Emperor of the human race!"
After Chi You made his vow, Xuan Chu took out the Kongtong Seal, and a beam of human destiny flew out from the Kongtong Seal and entered Chi You's body.
"Boom!" With a thunderous roar from beyond the heavens, a massive beam of holy light descended, its size exceeding that of Fuxi and Shennong when they attained enlightenment.
Sixty percent fell on Chi You, one-tenth flew to the Ten Thousand Mountains in the south, and half a tenth fell on Chi You's sword, the Tiger Soul Blade. The Tiger Soul Blade was originally a demonic sword, but after absorbing the merits of the Human Emperor, it also became a treasure of acquired merit, with a grade even higher than Fuxi's Bagua diagram, Shennong's Shennong Whip, and Shennong's Hundred Herbs Classic.
Half of it went to Jin Peng, and the remaining 20% was distributed among the virtuous individuals who helped Chi You unify the human race and govern it.
As merit entered his body, Chi You's cultivation level continued to rise, breaking through directly from the Xuanxian realm to the late Quasi-Saint stage, making him stronger than Shennong and second only to Fuxi.
"My name is Chi You!" After breaking through to the Quasi-Saint realm, Chi You also regained his memories as the Great Witch of the Witch Clan in his previous life.
"Chi You, now that you have been reincarnated as a human, you are now a human." Seeing that Chi You had regained his memories of his past life, Xuan Chu reminded Chi You that he was now a human, not a witch.
"Please rest assured, Ancestor, Chi You understands. From now on, Chi You will no longer be a witch," Chi You said. However, even if Chi You is no longer a member of the witch clan, his identity as a human witch cannot be changed. Therefore, even if he is no longer a member of the witch clan, the connection between Chi You and the witch clan cannot be severed.
As Chi You's teacher, Jin Peng also obtained half of the merit. Although it was only half, Chi You's merit as the Human Emperor was more than that of Fu Xi and Shen Nong combined. Half of the merit was much more than the two-fold merit that Fu Xi and Shen Nong obtained when they attained enlightenment. After the merit entered his body, Jin Peng's cultivation level continued to rise, breaking through two minor realms and reaching the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, the same level as Kong Xuan.
The happiest people after seeing Chi You attain enlightenment were Jieyin and Zhunti. Although the Xuanmen lost the throne of Taihuang, the next teacher of the Human Emperor would be from their Western Sect, the head of the Five Emperors. After all, this battle for the Taihuang throne, which seemed to be a struggle between the Xuanmen and the Xuanchu lineage, was actually a confrontation between the Human and Chan sects and the Jie sect, and had nothing to do with their Western Sect.
After Chi You attained enlightenment, according to custom, he was to sit in the Human Race Temple and await the birth of the next Human Emperor. However, the Human Race at this time was no longer in the era when each tribe governed itself. All affairs had to be handled by the Human Race's common ruler. Now, the Human Race's ruling center had shifted from the Human Race Temple to Pengcheng. If Xuanyuan were to sit in the Human Race Temple for a long time, it would inevitably affect the management of the Human Race.
After obtaining the consent of Fuxi, Shennong, and the four ancestors of the human race, Xuanyuan temporarily appointed his son Geye as the co-ruler of the human race, awaiting the birth of the next human emperor.
