After listening to a few words from Shennong, Wu Wan changed his two titles when he opened his mouth, and his lips were trembling.
Why are you suddenly so pessimistic?
When he calls Shennong his senior, he mostly refers to him as a personal friend. He regards Shennong as his guide on his own path and a respected senior human being.
When he called your majesty, he regarded Shennong as the emperor of the human realm.
At this moment, Wu Wan doubted his ears.
——It’s a little inappropriate to say that he has an ear. He is now relying on the transformation energy that Shennong gave him back then to cross the barriers of heaven and earth and have a free and easy conversation with Shennong Yandi.
At this moment, Wu Wan had begun to check his mind;
After making sure that I was fine, I began to reflect again on whether I had not learned the human language well.
He knew all these words spoken by the old Shen Nong, but when put together... he couldn't believe that they had the literal meaning.
Just now, His Majesty Shennong said that he wanted to make a deal, and what he meant was that the two parties involved in the deal were the Human Domain and the forces behind Wu Wang.
Shennong said this:
"The problem of the human domain is at its root, and it is now hard to recover from.
Wuwu, the deal I want to make with you is that after my death, you can stand up and lead the remaining creatures in the human realm through those years that are destined to be extremely difficult.
As you said back then, I must stand up and cannot leave the problem to the next generation.
The Human Realm was born in the hands of the Human Emperor, and it should also end in the hands of the Human Emperor.
This war is a necessary process on this road. There will be a lot of casualties in the human realm, and the strength of the Tiangong will also be weakened.
In the next few hundred years, such wars will become the norm, until I can reach the Heavenly Palace and fight Emperor Kuang head-on."
"Your Majesty, what does this mean?"
Wu Wangdao's heart was slightly trembling and he immediately asked:
"Why is it that the fundamental problem of the human domain has become so difficult to recover from?
For such a large force that has existed for a long time, it must have some shortcomings. With continuous innovation and upgrading, these problems can be solved.
We, why should we be so pessimistic?"
Yun Zhongjun saw that Wu Wan's expression was solemn and a bit anxious, and he couldn't help but frown in thought.
But he couldn't hear the conversation between Wu Wan and Shennong at this moment.
Wu Wan said again: "Even if we go to the Emperor of Heaven to fight for our lives, we must make a thorough plan. There is no need to use human lives to fill it..."
Shen Nong said: "You already know the answer, there is nothing wrong with it."
Wu Wang spoke for a moment.
Shennong's voice sounded in his heart, surrounding his soul, saying word by word:
"In the past ten thousand years, I no longer know how to face all sentient beings in the human realm."
"Your Majesty, why don't we talk openly and just pretend that I don't know anything."
Wu Wang said:
“Each of us may have different understandings of the same thing.
If you cannot communicate directly and plainly, especially on such a major matter, it is easy for people to make wrong judgments.
From what I understand at the moment, the issue Your Majesty is talking about is the method of inheriting the Great Way of Fire."
Shennong said: "To be precise, it is the inheritance of how to complete the Great Way of Fire."
Speaking of this, Shennong sighed lightly.
The old man sitting on the long wall at the northern border of the human domain has calm eyes and a peaceful expression.
He said:
"I never want to use the position of Human Emperor to force you. It's not that I think you are not suitable for this position.
Wuwu, I just don’t want you or any young person in the human realm to repeat the tragedy that happened between me and Teacher Fuxi.
Emperor Yan ordered me not to give it to too many people.
Before I met you, I even thought that it would be a relief if the human realm ended like this."
Wu Wang's eyes were filled with confusion.
He asked: "What tragedy?"
"The Tragedy of Vulcan."
Shennong whispered, but this time he did not continue to play riddles, but pushed everything aside, crushed it into pieces, and explained it to Wu Wan in detail.
The old man said:
“There is a problem with the inheritance of the Avenue of Fire.
Naturally, we have no reason to judge whether this matter is right or wrong, nor should we arbitrarily evaluate the Suiren Emperor.
In different years, we face different crises;
Suiren made this decision, giving us the opportunity to hesitate, remember, and choose.
In other words, Suiren left the power of choice to us latecomers.
Why can the Avenue of Fire stay in the human realm and be controlled by successive human emperors?
You must have thought about this question many times, there is nothing wrong with it.”
"Well," Wu Wang said, "but I very much hope that what I speculated is wrong."
"The Avenue of Fire is locked in the blood of the human race."
Shennong said in a low voice:
"The way of inheritance of the Way of Fire is - dead people.
The more people die, the more Fire Path fragments the successors of the Fire Path can obtain.
During the dark turmoil, when more than 95% of the human domain's population dies, the Avenue of Fire will be completely inherited by the human monks who have obtained the key.
Emperor Fuxi had no choice at all back then.
He looked at countless tribesmen falling one after another in front of him, at the butcher knife wielded by Tiangong, at the old, weak, sick and disabled behind him...
He is so angry, but what can he do?
Emperor Fuxi could only pick up the key, stuff it into his soul, transform into the Fire Emperor, accept this power, and protect the remaining people...
The human emperor.
The Human Emperor is actually the most incompetent monk in the human realm.
Even one's own path cannot be settled in the same way.
Watching my clan members continue to fall, I can only rely on the paths left by my predecessors to protect those behind me..."
When it came to the latter part, Shennong's voice was so deep that it was impossible to hear clearly.
"senior."
Wu Huan tried his best to stabilize his Taoist heart, thinking about how to help Shennong get rid of his current mood, and said with a smile:
"When Emperor Yan ordered his second transformation, I had almost realized this."
"Boy, you have no idea that sometimes I really don't want to give you the Emperor Yan Order.
But more often than not, I have to think about leaving a hope for the domain.
The worst thing is that it’s the same path I took back then.”
Shennong suddenly laughed and said: "Before I became the Human Emperor, I actually wanted to be a doctor."
"I've always had a question."
Wu Wang asked: "If you let a monk practice the Way of Fire and instill insights into him, won't he be able to directly inherit the Way of Fire?"
"The Avenue of Fire is just the way of the Five Elements Source God," Shennong said. "How can we withstand the Heavenly Palace with only the Avenue of Fire?"
"what is that?"
"The avenue of fire in the human realm has resonated with the avenue of living beings and turned into the avenue of fire."
Shennong said slowly:
"The living soul is not extinguished, and the fuel fire is never extinguished.
A single spark is enough to start a prairie fire.
This is the handiwork of the late Emperor Suiren, and it is also the blueprint he planned for the human race under all kinds of desperation.
The existence of the Avenue of Fire allows monks in the Domain to be inspired by the Avenue of Fire, and allows all human beings in the Domain to be connected by the Avenue of Fire.
Life is firewood, anger is fire.
This flame is enough to burn through the sky, enough to turn the tide of all battles, and enough to make the gods in the heavenly palace fearful.
Of course, they don't understand this, and they all think that the Avenue of Fire itself is too strong.
In fact, in the final analysis, it is the avenue of life that is adding fuel to the flames.
Living beings are the source of power that changes this world."
Creatures.
Wu Wang said: "So to inherit the position of Human Emperor, people must die...if enough people die, can the remaining people be preserved?"
"Yes, turning the bones of ancestors into firewood is not a glamorous method, it is just a helpless measure."
"This approach really shouldn't continue to exist."
Wu Wan responded, his mind extremely complicated.
He had vaguely sensed this for a long time. When the old sect leader was killed by the Heavenly Tribulation and a little spiritual light penetrated into the Emperor Yan's order, Wu Huan noticed something abnormal.
If these people are willing to sacrifice in exchange for the existence of others, that is a great deed worthy of praise.
But if ordinary monks in the human realm don't know all this, after the old emperor passes away, the new emperor is 'ripened' by the mountains of corpses and the sea of bones...
"So, I regard your Star God Avenue as another hope for the human realm."
Shennong spoke slowly, his voice regaining its calmness.
The Human Emperor said: "For this reason, is there anything else you don't understand?"
"Senior, what are the chances of winning against Di Kuang?"
"Thirty percent."
So low.
Wu Wang asked back: "Senior, do you want to put the fate of the human realm and the human race on this 30%?"
"The humans who sacrificed their lives at this time have begun to become the firewood passed down by the Avenue of Fire."
Shennong Road:
"Since the worst outcome is to repeat this tragedy, then why don't I give it a try? I have been waiting for this battle for 90,000 years."
"In His Majesty's eyes, those humans who are bleeding and dying at this moment..."
"They are my tribe, my siblings, and my descendants," Shennong said, "I have already experienced a dark turmoil, and I don't want you little guys to experience the tragedy of that year again.
Wuwang, can you make this deal with me?
I can give you the divine power you need.
The things you took risks in Xiye can be hidden from others, but not from me.
As long as you agree, I will no longer have any scruples, leave all the troubles behind me to you, and prepare wholeheartedly for a battle with Emperor Kuang."
Wu Wan didn't know how to answer at this moment.
There is no escaping or questioning.
He had felt the despair that Shennong felt at this moment...
I felt it in the few words left by Emperor Fuxi.
Wu Wan sighed slightly in his heart, and his soul was pulled into a picture.
That's where it all started.
The old man, whose body was covered with cracks and blood marks and had become as thin as a stick, fell into the arms of the old man beside him.
The old man had despair and helplessness in his eyes, his white hair had withered, and only the skin on his body was left.
They are living beings, born to be governed by rules.
Therefore, he must accept the end of the unity of life - death.
The screen turned, and Wu Wan saw another cave.
In the cave, the middle-aged man put his hands behind his back and looked at the stone wall in front of him, which had yin and yang painted on it and the directions of the Eight Diagrams engraved on it.
He is deducing, he is deducing crazily.
His eyes were full of desire, and his whole body was trembling uncontrollably. Behind him, the flame was waiting quietly.
Outside the cave, the originally thick human wall that spread from here to the horizon fell down like a wheat field ravaged by a strong wind.
He was already on the verge of driving himself crazy.
Therefore, he must bear the inherent defect of living beings - apostasy.
The scenes seen by Yuan Shen circulated again, and Wu Wan saw a young man wearing light white linen clothes and holding a red wooden staff.
He is constantly exploring and walking between heaven and earth.
On the horizon, dark clouds are getting closer and closer.
This young man stuffed some herbs into his mouth like a hungry man, exploring the true meaning of the herbs.
He suddenly suffered from abdominal cramps, grabbed his crutches, and fell to the edge of the grass with a pale complexion.
Therefore, he must endure the common problem of all living beings - fragility.
These pictures are constantly rotating.
Wu Wang saw it.
Seeing the old man with only skin and bones left, he raised his hand and drew a trembling flame. He sighed slightly and said:
"After I leave, after I leave, there will definitely be a war in the Heavenly Palace.
Even if there are gods from outside the heavens involved, without the supreme power, you will not be the opponent of the Heavenly Palace.
I can only make this decision.
If people blame me later, there is no need to explain anything to me. As long as there are still people who can blame me, it proves that my journey was worthwhile."
Then, the flames floated and floated into the cave.
"stop."
The middle-aged man looked a little lonely, listening to the killing cries that were getting closer and closer, feeling the strong men from the Heavenly Palace rushing towards him like crazy.
He sighed slightly, dropped the carving knife in his hand, looked at the Bagua diagram that was about to be completed, his eyes were full of regret, and then turned around and held the flame.
The flames soared, making Wu Wan's soul unable to open his eyes. When everything returned to tranquility, the scene returned to a scene of luxuriant grass and black clouds filling the sky.
The young man had blood at the corner of his mouth and a relieved smile on his face.
A ball of flame floated out of thin air and penetrated into his chest...
The picture fades.
The Yan Emperor Ling had escaped from the blockade of Wu Wan's divine power at some point and was suspended in front of Wu Wan.

…
This is the fundamental problem of the human domain.
The human realm seems prosperous, but the foundation of this prosperity is the people who died in the darkness and turmoil.
After the fall of the Human Emperor and the silence of the Fire Avenue, blood is needed to be poured, and living beings are needed to become the fuel, and then the flame can be ignited.
The Xinhuo Avenue binds the Human Emperor himself, but compared to the pressure that the Human Emperor has to bear for this, it is actually not worth mentioning.
Fuxi made great efforts before his death to endow the Emperor with humanity.
The Shennong clan wanted to end this cycle before the deadline and fight to the death with Emperor Kuang, and kept looking for the possibility of fighting to the death.
If this matter is made public, the hearts of the human realm will be dispersed, and the human emperor's prestige will be completely lost.
In the crevice in the rocks in the north of Zhongshan, Wu Wan remained silent, his expression gradually changing from tangled and thoughtful to tranquil.
Just as Shen Nong said, this matter... he had actually guessed it a long time ago.
But hearing it from the Human Emperor today, Dao's heart was still shaken.
"Senior, I want to know how the Suiren Emperor became stronger."
Wu Wan said softly:
"This is very important to me."
Shennong pondered for a few times, but he did not conceal such a secret from the human world.
He said:
"The way Suiren Emperor became stronger was by concentrating his thoughts to become a god.
The Suiren Emperor drilled wood to make fire and realized his own way. The name of this way is "self", which means "self".
It can be said that this is the cornerstone for monks in the human realm to practice.
This avenue is not an innate avenue, but the product of the birth of the avenue of life. However, Suiren, the late emperor, reversed it and turned it into a avenue that transcends the definition of innate and acquired.
This is the word "original heart."
Self, id, original mind?
Wu Huan has gained something hidden.
Shennong continued:
"The Suiren clan gathered the hopes of all the creatures in the wild southern wilderness back then and turned these beliefs into their own divine power.
According to what my teacher said, the Suiren Emperor went to a place beyond the sky by chance.
He continued to grow stronger in the outer world, sharpening his path, and finally launched a challenge to Zhulong.
The Suiren Emperor was disappointed with his defeat, but through the impact of his battle with Zhulong, he passed through a special path and returned to the wilderness.
After returning, the Suiren Emperor was already as powerful as the most powerful god.
You may not know that at that time, the late Emperor Suiren called himself the Fire Immortal.
This is the first immortal in heaven and earth.
And it is an immortal who has cultivated himself, exploited all the potential of the innate Tao body, and absorbed all the treasures of the Tao body left by the Holy Mother.
Then there was the Suiren-Slaying God of Fire.
Suiren, he stood too high and too far away.
He clearly saw the nature of the Emperor of Heaven, and with his supreme wisdom, he saw through the faces of the gods in the Heavenly Palace, and taught us to be self-reliant and independent, not to be attached to the gods and to cultivate ourselves as gods."
Wu Wang asked again: "Why did the Suiren Emperor fall?"
Shennong replied: "The Suiren clan was assassinated by Emperor Kuang.
The reason why the power of Da Siming's Great Dao has been greatly reduced is because he forcibly set a lifespan limit for the powerful people of the human race.
It was similar to the curse in ancient magic. Da Siming paid a lot for this curse.
Then the Heavenly Palace announced to the outside world that Da Si Ming had set longevity shackles for all living beings.
In fact, the backlash against Da Si Ming was to suppress the Suiren clan and strengthen the law that ‘all living beings must meet the end of their longevity’.”
After a pause, Shen Nong asked:
"Are you willing to accept such a deal?"
"I reject."
Wu Wan almost blurted out.
Shennong didn't show any emotion, as if he had known it would happen.
"Senior, just keep doing what you want to do."
Wu Wang considered his words and said slowly:
"My future path is not in the human realm, but the human realm will become a cornerstone of my future.
If Emperor Kuang had not been killed by his senior, he would have been defeated by me.
But I want to rework a deal."
"Oh? Come and see."
"I want all the divine power harvested in the human realm in the next eight hundred years, including but not limited to the divine power formed by concentrating thoughts into gods."
Wu Wang's eyes flashed with a compelling light:
"As an equivalent condition, I will do my best to ensure that the human race occupies the dominant position in the world.
Of course, it is in the future world."
Shennong:……
"Are you really arrogant? Why did you suddenly become so loud?"
"Senior, please agree or not," Wu said with a smile, "It's rare for me to be motivated."
"Let me think about it."
Shennong answered vaguely, and then cut off communication with Wu Wan.
Wu Wan's soul looked at the flames in front of him, and with a flick of his fingers, Wu Wan restrained the flames and threw them back into the corner.
