Zuan nodded secretly, somewhat curious about what exactly this Great Dao that so many Heavenly Emperors were pursuing was.
The Goddess of Wushan continued, "Next, the Heavenly Court entered the era of the Yellow Emperor's lineage. The fourth generation after the Yellow Emperor was the White Emperor Shaohao, and the fifth generation was succeeded by Shaohao's nephew, the current Heavenly Emperor Zhuanxu, who is also known as the Xuan Emperor."
Zu An's heart stirred: "Why did Shao Hao not pass the throne to his son, but instead pass it on to his nephew?"
"There are indeed many different opinions on this matter," the Goddess of Wushan thought for a moment and continued, "but the mainstream view is that the White Emperor's sons were not very capable and were far inferior to Zhuanxu. Although the position of Heavenly Emperor can be passed down from father to son, it still needs to be accepted by the people."
Zu'an suddenly remembered a question that had been bothering him: "What about Di Jun?"
"Jun is a descendant of the White Emperor Shaohao, and there is a strong call for him to succeed as the next Heavenly Emperor. However, Emperor Xuanzhuanxu has a grandson named Chongli who is equally talented, so the competition between the two is fierce. Although Jun eventually gained the upper hand and won the position of the next Heavenly Emperor, many people are still quite optimistic about Chongli's future." The Goddess of Wushan couldn't help but sigh as she said this, "I just didn't expect that Chongli would sacrifice himself for the peace of the world. It seems that everyone underestimated him."
Upon hearing this information, some of the guesses that had been in Zuan's mind gradually became clear.
At this moment, the Goddess of Wushan hesitated for a moment, but still reminded her, "The White Emperor and the Black Emperor lineages are inherently at odds. You must never get involved in their conflicts in the future."
"Is it because of the position of Heavenly Emperor?" the mermaid queen asked curiously.
"It's not just that. The White Emperor's lineage worships the phoenix as its totem, while the Black Emperor's lineage worships the dragon. Although they are ultimately of the same bloodline as the Azure Emperor, their maternal clans are different. The White Emperor's maternal clan is the phoenix, while the Black Emperor's maternal clan has the blood of the dragon. Before the Witch and Demon races became the masters of the world, the dragon and the phoenix were the protagonists of heaven and earth. They were sworn enemies back then, and this hatred has been passed down." The Goddess of Wushan said solemnly, "Therefore, you must never get involved in the struggle between these two factions, or you will perish and your soul will be extinguished."
Zu An was startled. His previous life's Taoist work, "Yunji Qiqian: Lingbao Lueji," mentioned a sentence: "In the past, there was a calamity called Longhan. After Longhan, the fate of heaven and earth changed, and the era of Yankang began."
As a result, various online novels have taken this opportunity to develop a rivalry between dragons and phoenixes. Could it be that they accidentally stumbled upon the truth?
