While refining his innate Yin-Yang Dao Seed, hoping to achieve perfect Dao fruition as soon as possible, Hu Le also studied the fragments of the Creation Jade Disc.
As time passed, his eldest disciple, Guan Kong, suddenly came to find him.
"Greetings, Master." Guan Kong entered the hall, stepped forward, and bowed in greeting.
Hu Le stopped his study of the fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation and asked, "Why have you come to see your master instead of cultivating in the mortal realm?"
"Reporting to Master, I've noticed something amiss!" Guan Kong said with a grave expression.
"Oh? What happened?" Hu Le asked, frowning.
Guan Kong replied, "Recently, it seems that there are more Xuanmen Taoists among the human race, who are running around everywhere, constantly spreading Xuanmen Taoist teachings."
"Is it a lot?"
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, Hu Le focused his mind on the flow of human fortune and observed silently for a while. He discovered that a considerable amount of fortune was indeed flowing towards Kunlun Mountain.
They finally made their move!
They really picked a good time!
Hu Le sighed and began to ponder silently.
Seeing that Hu Le was deep in thought, Guan Kong did not disturb him. He found a futon nearby, sat down, and waited quietly.
After a long silence, Hu Le suddenly chuckled softly and asked Guan Kong, "Disciple, do you think that the Xuanmen entering the world and spreading their teachings among humans is a good thing or a bad thing for our human race?"
Guan Kong paused for a moment, then blurted out his thoughts: "Is there even a question? Of course it's not a good thing. This is a competition for fortune with you and the various clan leaders!"
Hu Le shook his head slightly after hearing this, seemingly disagreeing with her idea, but he didn't say anything more. Instead, he smiled and said, "Alright! I already know about this matter. You should go back and cultivate diligently."
"Teacher... are we just going to let it go like this?"
Hu Le didn't answer, he just waved his hand.
Guan Kong tactfully took his leave and withdrew from the main hall.
After Guan Kong left, Hu Le asked himself: What else could I do but let it go?
Moreover, this is not necessarily a bad thing. If the human race wants to become the protagonist of the prehistoric world, it is probably impossible for the human race to achieve this on its own.
That requires the support of one, or even many, forces.
But if there are no benefits, who would be willing to put in the effort to support the human race?
For example, his teacher, Lady Jinde, was both the Empress of the Human Kingdom and the Empress of the Heavenly Kingdom. She had also managed to win over some innate deities to support the human race, but she still failed to push the human race to the position of the protagonist.
Because the innate deities are all incredibly powerful and have different minds, even if the Heavenly Emperor and the Human Emperor unite, it is impossible to force all the innate deities to support the human race.
For example, some of these innate deities are supporting the demon race from behind the scenes.
There are also other innate deities supporting other races.
To put it bluntly, whether it's innate or acquired, aren't the gods also a race?
If humans truly become the protagonists, then how will the gods, and even the innate deities, position themselves?
And wouldn't that threaten their high and mighty status?
Therefore, even though the Human Emperor was the Golden Virtue Heavenly Empress, there were still many gods who did not want the human race to become the protagonist of the prehistoric world.
When Gonggong and Zhurong suddenly rebelled against the Heavenly Gang and went against the Goddess of Golden Virtue, it's possible that some people were plotting behind the scenes.
In any case, judging from the outcome, after that rebellion, Lady Jinde won a great victory and successfully suppressed Gonggong and Zhurong.
However, after that internal strife, the human race lost too many powerful figures, especially several clan leaders who were suppressed. The human race's strength has been severely damaged since then and has not yet recovered.
Otherwise, if Gonggong and the others were still alive, Hu Le alone would never have been able to seize the throne of the Human Emperor.
Perhaps Lady Jinde also suspected that someone was plotting against her, which is why she did not kill Zhu Rong and the others, but only suppressed them...
Therefore, it is a long and arduous road for the human race to become the protagonist of the prehistoric world, and it may never be possible to rely on the gods.
But now, the entry of the Xuanmen has given the human race another opportunity. Perhaps they can use this opportunity to completely break free from the gods and achieve their goal by relying on the power of the Xuanmen.
Of course, in this process, the Taoist sect will inevitably lose some of its fortune.
If humanity becomes the protagonist of the primordial world in the future, the resulting fortune will likely be immense, and Human Emperor Hu Le will naturally be the biggest beneficiary.
However, one thing is extremely important: he must first be able to hold onto his position as emperor and not let others, especially the Xuanmen, benefit from his position...
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown. Now that the Xuanmen was powerful, and he no longer had the protection of Taiyi and his wife, if the Xuanmen attacked him, he would really have a hard time holding on.
Not to mention that Hongjun Laozu has already become a Hunyuan Saint. Even though he is currently recuperating in the Heavenly Dao, he will reappear in the world one day.
Even if Hongjun Laozu didn't intervene, he still couldn't withstand the combined attacks of the Three Pure Ones...
"No, even if we want to use the power of the Xuanmen, we can't let the Xuanmen dominate the human race. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to hold the throne of the Human Emperor. We need to introduce some other forces to counterbalance the Xuanmen."
"But who should we contact?"
Suddenly, Hu Le seemed to realize something, and looked up towards the west. In his mind's eye, he seemed to see a blessed land surrounded by auspicious light and filled with the fragrance of incense...
Just then, the Fire Spirit Official walked in from outside the hall, saying that Daoist Duobao from Kunlun Mountain had come to request an audience.
"Duobao? What's he doing here?"
Hu Le was slightly puzzled, but still ordered someone to invite him in.
"Brother!"
After entering the hall, Daoist Duobao bowed slightly to Hu Le behind the jade table.
"Second brother, there's no need for such formalities between us. Please have a seat."
Hu Le pointed to the prayer mat on the ground and greeted it politely.
Because the relationship between Taiyi and his wife and the Xuanmen was always tense, there was not much interaction between the Heavenly Court and the Xuanmen.
However, none of this affected his relationship with Duobao.
Hu Le first ordered his men to present him with celestial dew and spiritual fruits unique to the Heavenly Court...
After exchanging pleasantries, Hu Le finally asked about the purpose of Duobao Daoist's visit.
"Duobao, what brings you here today?"
"I have two matters to discuss with you, elder brother. One is on the orders of our teacher, and the other is on the instructions of my eldest uncle," Duobao replied.
"Oh, why don't you tell me about it?" Hu Le said with a serious expression. Since it concerned those two people, he had to be more cautious.
"Upon hearing that my elder brother has become the Human Emperor, my master was very pleased and thus instructed me to come and offer my congratulations. However..."
At this point, Daoist Duobao hesitated for a moment, seemingly finding it difficult to speak.
"Yes, just say whatever you want to say. There's no need to be so polite between brothers like us," Hu Le said with a smile, encouraging him.
"...My master hopes...that my elder brother will allow the disciples of Biyou Palace to spread the teachings among the human race."
After speaking, Daoist Duobao looked somewhat embarrassed. He knew that once the disciples of Biyou Palace entered the human race to spread their teachings, they would be competing with Emperor Hu Le for the fortune of the human race...
