195: Chapter 173: Joining Forces with the Human Race_4 195: Chapter 173: Joining Forces with the Human Race_4 Chi Di Shennong appeared as an old man with white hair and a white beard, his gaze warm and gentle, lacking the imposing presence of an emperor, yet he conveyed a feeling of compassion for the world that inexplicably settled the hearts of those around him. Although Sun Wukong was not of the Human Race, he had heard of the sage-like deeds of this saintly figure and looked upon Shennong with a hint of respect. “Greetings to Chi Di.” Sun Wukong bowed with clasped hands. Shennong smiled faintly and said, “The Great Saint is courteous.” After the formal greeting, Shennong remained silent and gestured for the Yellow Emperor to speak. Now, the Yellow Emperor said, “Great Saint, regarding the matter you spoke of, Shennong and I have already discussed it in detail.” Sun Wukong’s spirits lifted instantly and he asked, “How have the two emperors chosen to proceed?” The Yellow Emperor’s expression was grave as he said, “This matter is of great importance, we need the Great Saint to tell us everything, only then dare we make a decision.” “Indeed, please forgive us, Great Saint, it isn’t that we want to disrespect you, nor are Shennong and I too timid to act, it’s just that the fate of the Human Race is at stake, and we dare not rush to conclusions without understanding the full picture.” Shennong’s expression also turned serious. The Yellow Emperor, who was usually very confident and seldom consulted with others before making decisions, now dared not decide hastily, but instead sought counsel from Shennong. This indicated just how seriously they considered the matter at hand. Sun Wukong smiled, knowing that such caution from the Yellow Emperor and Chi Di was within his expectations. He motioned for the two emperors to sit, and then began to recount what he knew. Leizu and Momo were also listening intently, even Nu Ba occasionally showed expressions of surprise. There were details even she was unaware of, and now, as Sun Wukong spoke, she realized the complexity of matters. The Yellow Emperor and Chi Di listened closely, occasionally interjecting with sharp questions. The two ancestors of the Human Race possessed exceptional wisdom, and when seriously engaged, there were few in the world who could deceive them. They were also verifying whether Sun Wukong was telling the truth; with the survival of the entire Human Race in the balance, they naturally couldn’t make decisions based solely on Sun Wukong’s character. In the end, Shennong and the Yellow Emperor presented their own insights, giving Sun Wukong moments of revelation. These two emperors, with their extraordinary wisdom, impressed Sun Wukong. By the time they finished speaking, it was already the next day. It wasn’t that there was so much to discuss; they were also speculating, debating, and analyzing certain issues. The conclusions they finally reached were startling to all. The Jade Emperor’s so-called intent to diminish the Great Dao of Living Beings and let in the Ancient Gods to destroy them was definitely not his ultimate goal. His true purpose was likely something else, but at present, no one knew what it was nor could they deduce it. Yet, it could be imagined that the Jade Emperor’s ultimate aim might not bode well for the beings of the Three Realms. “Is that old trickster really so cunning?” Sun Wukong was astonished. He had underestimated the Jade Emperor or, perhaps, the Yellow Emperor and Shennong had too bleak a view of him, imagining scenarios too dreadful to contemplate. If the Jade Emperor indeed had other motives, his scheming was too profound. In that case, their struggle was in vain; without knowing what the enemy was up to, they couldn’t make appropriate plans, and the eventual outcome would still be a loss. “Great Saint, you see the heart of the living beings too simply; the Jade Emperor’s intention to oppress the Human Race is something we sensed long ago, which is precisely why I, the Yellow Emperor, have always indulged in pleasures and refrained from cultivation, avoiding the Heavenly Venerate Realm to prevent the Jade Emperor from feeling threatened,” said the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor glanced at Chi Di and continued, “Aren’t you the same, studying herbs every day? After so many years, what is there left that you don’t understand?” Amid the unprecedented prosperity of the Human Race, yet no Heavenly Venerate existed. Sun Wukong now understood the reason. The Yellow Emperor and Shennong, with their exceptional talent, dared not advance. Becoming a Heavenly Venerate, coupled with the golden age of the Human Race, they feared it wouldn’t be long before they could threaten the Jade Emperor’s rule over the Three Realms. So they purposefully neglected their cultivation, showing the Jade Emperor that they had no intention of breaking through, no ambition, and asking him to be at ease, to not contend with the Human Race. “It never occurred to us that without pushing for advancement and without ambition, the Jade Emperor would still scheme against our people. According to the Jade Emperor’s plans, to meet the criteria for letting the Ancient Gods in, at least eighty percent of our Immortal Human Race would need to die.” The Yellow Emperor spoke with anger on his face. “And as for the common Human Race, at least ninety percent would need to perish for the Ancient Gods to easily enter.” Shennong’s eyes also held a cold light. As ancestors of the Human Race, they couldn’t just watch indifferently as their descendants faced such substantial losses. Collaborating with Sun Wukong to support Great Emperor Ziwei’s ascension to power had become an imperative. They also knew of Great Emperor Ziwei’s character; although he seemed stern, he was in fact the most benevolent among the Four Heavenly Kings. Under his governance, the Northern Continent thrived, with people wealthy and moral, and living beings gentle in nature. If all of the Human Race could live like this, it would be marvelous. The two Human Race ancestors exchanged a look, having made their decision. “Great Saint, we agree to this matter; with the strength of the Human Race, we will support Great Emperor Ziwei’s ascendancy to the Heavenly Venerate throne.” Sun Wukong was immediately delighted. He had finally achieved his goal, which made him smile with joy. “Your Majesties, you won’t regret the decision you’ve made today. I, Old Sun, can also promise you that with Great Emperor Ziwei in power, he will definitely not oppress the Human Race, and I, Old Sun, will also protect them from any harm.”
