194: Chapter 173: Joining Forces with the Human Race_3 194: Chapter 173: Joining Forces with the Human Race_3 And as one of the ancestors of the Human Race, he naturally took pride in this. The present state of the Human Race was unprecedentedly prosperous. As one of the Five Elders, he knew more. The Heaven and Earth Barrier needed the Great Dao of Living Beings to lock it, and the vast numbers of the Human Race were the best providers for it. Sun Wukong gave a faint smile, clearly aware that convincing the Yellow Emperor would not be an easy task. “The question remains, does the Yellow Emperor know what the Jade Emperor is trying to do now?” The Yellow Emperor’s brow furrowed, realizing the crux of the matter. “You tell me.” “To stir up chaos in the Three Realms, to drain the Three Realms through internal strife, diminish the number of beings of the Great Dao, invite the return of Ancient Gods, and then eradicate them in one fell swoop.” “What?” Now, the Yellow Emperor truly could not sit still. Whether the Ancient Gods could be eradicated was secondary. But to reduce the Great Dao of Living Beings was definitely to make a move against the Human Race. As the Yellow Emperor said, the Human Race was flourishing like never before. This also led to a greater contribution from the Human Race to the Great Dao of Living Beings. If the Jade Emperor wanted to reduce the Great Dao of Living Beings, he would have to act against the Human Race, especially against the immortals of the Human Race. At that time, the power of the Human Race would undoubtedly suffer greatly, taking a heavy hit. Seeing the change in the Yellow Emperor’s expression, Sun Wukong knew that the Yellow Emperor understood his point. Sun Wukong chuckled and said, “Your Majesty, now do you see why I have asked for your help? If Your Majesty does not wish to see the common people of the Human Race suffer, work with me. The Great Emperor Ziwei is kind-hearted and loves the people. Such a person is suited to be the Great Heavenly Venerate.” “You’re not bluffing me?” The Yellow Emperor stared at Sun Wukong, worried that he was being deceived. If the Human Race was tied to the chariot of the Great Emperor Ziwei, and if the Great Emperor Ziwei failed in the end, the Human Race would definitely suffer. The Jade Emperor was not someone who had a big heart; he had a strong desire for revenge. “Your Majesty may ask Nu Ba, and on such a major matter, Old Sun is not willing to lie.” Sun Wukong pointed at Nu Ba, indicating that the Yellow Emperor should inquire of her. Seeing the Yellow Emperor look towards her, Nu Ba said solemnly, “Father, the Great Saint is telling the truth. What I have seen and heard by his side all coincide with his words, not a single falsehood.” The Yellow Emperor took a deep breath, pondering. Sun Wukong did not disturb him, as such a partnership mattered greatly to the destiny of the Human Race. If the Yellow Emperor were to make a decision too lightly, Sun Wukong would have to consider whether the Yellow Emperor was planning to trick him. After a good while, the Yellow Emperor finally spoke, “This matter is of too great importance. I need to discuss it with someone. Please, Great Saint, wait a moment.” “Take your time, Your Majesty, I am not in a rush,” Sun Wukong replied with a slight smile. The Yellow Emperor then hurriedly left, exiting the palace. With the departure of the Yellow Emperor, the atmosphere here immediately relaxed. Leizu said with a smile, “Great Saint, don’t blame him for his caution. This concerns the fate of the entire Human Race, after all.” Sun Wukong replied with a smile, “Naturally, I do not blame him. Such caution from Your Majesty the Yellow Emperor is exactly what makes for a good partner. I would rather not work with hot-headed individuals, for that I would feel uneasy.” Leizu and Momo chuckled lightly. If the Yellow Emperor knew that Sun Wukong was lumping him together with hot-headed men, he would definitely be blowing his beard and staring with wide eyes. “How does the Great Saint find my daughter?” Leizu suddenly asked. Sun Wukong had not expected her to ask this question out of the blue. After a moment of thought, he said, “Princess Nu Ba has a beauty that can overthrow states and cities, a peerless elegance, and in her actions, decisiveness without losing dignity, she is indeed one of the most outstanding women between heaven and earth.” This was not mere flattery to Nu Ba, rather it was being truthful. Hearing Sun Wukong speak so highly of her daughter, both Leizu and Momo showed smiles. Momo said softly, “If that’s the case, why does the Great Saint not fancy my daughter?” Nu Ba curiously stared at Sun Wukong, not overly shy. She was born in an era when humans were quite primitive, where if you liked someone, you came together, and if not, you parted ways. Back then, emotions were straightforward. She was very curious about Sun Wukong’s feelings for her, whether there was any emotion. After thinking for a moment, Sun Wukong said, “The Empress should know that Old Sun is a being nurtured by nature, naturally not placing much importance on feelings between men and women, valuing Daoist nature over human desires, thus having little sentiment towards women. I respect Princess Nu Ba, but if there is to arise romantic affection, that may take time.” Sun Wukong did not beat around the bush; he explained clearly. “Innate beings indeed find it difficult to be moved by emotions, this we understand. We won’t insist. It is Nu Ba’s own matter that she is infatuated with you. We can’t force you to reciprocate her affections. Let things take their natural course.” Leizu was very magnanimous, not at all angry but rather very understanding of Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong bowed his hands in respect towards this principal wife of the Yellow Emperor. “My daughter, do not press the Great Saint; everything is fated, let nature take its course,” Momo advised Nu Ba, holding her hand. She knew Nu Ba’s straightforward nature and feared that in her eagerness, she might offend Sun Wukong, thereby diminishing her chances. Chidding from Momo’s caution, Nu Ba said, “Of course I understand, this monkey is easier to deal with using a soft touch rather than a hard one, I wouldn’t dare to offend him.” Sun Wukong gave an embarrassed smile. But Momo looked at Nu Ba approvingly; indeed, she was worthy of being their daughter—just as clever as they were. In dealing with men, Nu Ba had inherited their patience. The next day, the Yellow Emperor returned. He brought with him a person, none other than Chi Di. Actually, he had also wanted to find Chi You, after all, though Chi You was defeated, the bloodline of Chi You still flowed, and he was also one of the progenitors of the Human Race. But Chi You was in closed-door cultivation, and the Yellow Emperor really couldn’t find him, eventually forced to give up.
