The Human Emperor Dao Fruit is already the top Dao Fruit in the prehistoric world, ranking among the Three Sovereign Dao Fruits. In the past, the Nine-Headed Clan and the Golden Virtue Lady also used it to suppress the prehistoric world.
Unfortunately, while the Human Emperor Dao Fruit could help Hu Le rise above other powerful beings, it was still far inferior to the immortal and indestructible Primordial Dao Fruit.
Hu Le felt that the Human Emperor Dao Fruit was not the end point of his cultivation, but merely a resource in his process of seeking the Primordial Chaos.
Therefore, without hesitation, he entrusted the Dao Fruit to the Kongtong Seal and severed the Dao Fruit...
After obtaining the Human Emperor Dao Fruit, Hu Le calmed his merits and fortune while slowly refining the fragments of Pangu's Primordial Spirit.
Not long after, Jiaoyue came to see him. Hu Le had his servant call her over. He scanned her with his divine sense and found that Jiaoyue had completed her foundation transformation and had begun to cultivate the Qi refining method of the Heavenly Emperor lineage.
Over the years, as Hu Ledao's cultivation level has steadily increased, he has also continuously revised and modified the contents of the Taiyi Initial Golden Chapter, not only adding some methods for cultivating great supernatural powers.
Even his method of refining Qi was based on the contents of the Golden Chapter, with additions or deletions, making the method of refining Qi even more wondrous.
Jiaoyue is currently practicing the latest version revised by Hu Le.
Upon seeing Hu Le, Jiao Yue quickly stepped forward to greet him.
Then he explained his purpose.
It turned out that she had encountered some doubts in her spiritual practice and came here specifically to seek guidance.
A teacher is one who imparts knowledge and resolves doubts.
Hu Le encouraged Jiao Yue to voice her doubts, and then addressed them one by one.
Once all of Jiaoyue's questions had been answered, she returned home satisfied.
Some time later, Hu Le's eldest disciple, Guan Kong, came to visit again.
"Greetings, Master." Guan Kong entered the hall, kowtowed, and greeted him.
Hu Le told her to stand up and answer, then asked, "You don't cultivate in the lower realm, so what brings you here to your master?"
Guan Kong hesitated for a moment before replying, "Reporting to Master, there is a rumor spreading rapidly among the human race. The content seems to be extremely unfavorable to you, so I had to come and inform you."
Hu Le was taken aback upon hearing this, then silently calculated for a moment and instantly understood the content of the rumor.
The rumor initially claimed that he was stealing the merits and fortune of the human race to achieve his own Human Emperor status, thus greatly damaging the human race's fortune.
This is indeed a fact, and even Hu Le himself cannot deny it.
However, rumors not only spread quickly, but their content is also easily distorted.
Thus, the story, which started as Hu Le profiting at the expense of the public and ruining humanity's fortune, gradually evolved into the narrative that Hu Le was an undercover agent sent by another race specifically to destroy humanity.
Furthermore, rumors have spread that Hu Le not only steals the human race's fortune, but also eats the hearts and livers of tens of thousands of human children every day as a snack.
As rumors spread, they became increasingly distorted, varied, and gradually veered towards absurdity.
Hu Le, having anticipated all of this, was speechless for a moment, pondering how to deal with it.
As he pondered this, he found himself in a dilemma.
Once rumors start circulating, they are hard to stop. After all, everyone has a love of gossip, and Hu Le can't just wipe out the entire human race because of that.
Hu Le understood the principle that it is more difficult to control what people say than to control a river.
Guan Kong stood in the hall and saw that Hu Le was silent for a long time. He couldn't help but look up and saw that Hu Le's brows were slightly furrowed. A sense of self-reproach arose in his heart.
It was also because she and her fellow disciples had been focused on cultivation all these years, neglecting the affairs of the human race, that the rumors spread rapidly.
If they had kept an eye on the human race, they could have nipped the rumors in the bud before they gained momentum.
Of course, by this time the rumors had grown too strong, and everything was beyond repair.
"Now that you are here to oversee the human race on my behalf, what solutions do you have for this matter?"
Just as Guan Kong was secretly annoyed, Hu Le's voice reached her ears.
Guan Kong did not offer a solution, but instead asked, "May I ask, teacher, do you know who is behind this?"
She had tried to deduce the secrets of heaven at the beginning, but she had already been deceived by others. Even though she has now achieved the Great Luo Dao Fruit, she still has not been able to calculate any useful information.
Upon hearing this, Hu Le began to deduce the destiny of heaven again. When he felt something was unclear, he simply summoned the Chaos Bell. As the bell rang, it instantly dispelled the fog that shrouded the truth.
"Heh... So it was them! It's shameless of them to resort to such despicable tricks."
Hu Le quickly figured out Gonggong and his group's scheme and immediately sneered.
"May I ask, teacher, who exactly is it?!" Guan Kong asked angrily.
"Hmph! Who else could it be but Gonggong and his group!" Hu Le replied indifferently.
Guan Kong curled his lip and sneered, "Ah! So it's them. They're nothing but a bunch of your defeated underlings, Teacher. Now they dare to stir up trouble and oppose you. It seems the lesson you taught them before wasn't deep enough!"
Hu Le neither confirmed nor denied this, and asked, "Now that you know the source of this matter, do you have a solution?"
At this point, he already had a certain plan in mind, but he still wanted to hear his disciple's opinion.
In fact, he was initially quite annoyed by these rumors.
Of course, it was more of a feeling of being embarrassed and angry than annoyed.
It's because he did do some things that harmed humanity and the world.
However, he quickly calmed down. In fact, these rumors, though seemingly damaging, were only aimed at his reputation.
As long as no one uses this to overthrow his throne as emperor, he only needs to remain calm and composed.
There's no need to clarify, since sometimes people don't care about the truth.
They will only choose to believe what they believe.
In the primordial era, time was of little value. As time passed, no matter what kind of rumors or gossip they were, they would not last forever and would eventually be buried in the ever-flowing river of time.
Moreover, the lifespan of an individual human is extremely limited, and they are also a race with a great tendency to forget things.
Knowledge and wisdom may be passed down from generation to generation, but rumors and gossip... well, let's just say they're not worth mentioning.
Before Guan Kong arrived, he already had some ideas in mind.
When the teacher asked him a question, he immediately shared the solution he had come up with.
Hu Le fell silent after hearing this.
The solution is actually quite simple: once such rumors spread, they cannot be completely erased. Trying to clarify them will likely be ineffective and may even make things worse. The only option is to wait for time to fade everything away.
However, those who instigated it should not be let off easily.
Since they dare to ruin someone's reputation and try to disgust their teacher, wouldn't it be a good way to deal with them in kind?
So now that she has learned the real culprit from Hu Le, she plans to go back and find someone to start spreading rumors about Gonggong and the others...
