"Ying Huo Venerable, in charge of Fire Virtue, awe-inspiring in power, his strength can deter the wicked."
Fu Xi's expression turned solemn: "Ying Huo withholds his heart, causing chaos under the heavens. His nature is violent, leading disasters and wars. If he were the Heavenly Emperor, the Primordial would be in danger!"
"This is not the best choice, but rather a path to chaos. It must never be."
Xuanqing asked again: "Then what about Venerable Star? Venerable Star is substantial, master of Earth Virtue, and manages the Primordial earth veins, enjoying the reputation of 'the center of heaven, the lord of earth', possibly able to suppress Qi Fortune, and sustain prosperity."
Fu Xi said: "Venerable Star, while cautious, lacks adaptability."
"His actions are slow, although he can preserve, he finds it difficult to create new situations, unable to carry forward the current Heavenly Emperor's Virtue."
"Moreover, Earth Virtue is too thick, fearing it will lose all living beings' vitality, plunging the Primordial into silence. If this persists, the spirituality of all beings may be constrained."
"What about Age Star Venerable then?" Taishang saw Fu Xi criticizing so many deities in one go, so he brought up Fu Xi's alternative identity.
"Age Star is benevolent and generous, widely blessing, often praying for all beings. If he were emperor, he could gain the support of all people."
Fu Xi sighed: "Age Star Venerable, benevolent and generous, blessing one side. Yet a ruler must balance grace and might, a combination of strength and softness."
"Age Star is overly merciful, fearing he might suffer at the hands of villains, also not a heroic lord who can establish everlasting peace."
After speaking, Fu Xi seemed to have criticized all the existing Venerables in the Taiwei Constellation, none being suitable.
The Gods of the Netherworld marveled: [This guy doesn't even spare himself, truly ruthless.]
However, from another perspective, Fu Xi was also elevating Xuanqing.
Having criticized everyone, Xuanqing as the Heavenly Emperor appeared increasingly unique.
"Luo Hou and Star have passed, so we won't mention them. What about Taiwei Prime Minister Nuwa?" Meng Wuyou looked at Nuwa, who hadn't spoken.
Nuwa, who had been silent, shook her head and spoke: "My ambitions do not lie here."
"Alright, since the Taiwei Gods are not sufficient to shoulder the great responsibility of the next era, what do the two Daoists intend to do?" Xuanqing asked.
Nuwa replied firmly:
"To replace the Heavenly Dao with the Human Dao and continue the splendor of an era!"
Xuanqing listened, a meaningful smile appearing on the corner of his mouth: "So, the two Daoists wish to promote the Human Dao?"
"Exactly!"
Nuwa slightly inclined her head and spoke directly, "My elder brother and I have come to the Underworld for the future of the Primordial Human Dao."
"In the Three Realms of Primordial, the Heavenly Dao is established, the Earth Dao is independent, and the Human Dao has not emerged."
"The current era is the era of the thriving Heavenly Dao, but such prosperity is destined to be unsustainable."
"If the next Heavenly Emperor is powerless to reverse this, then the Gods of the Human Dao will be needed to guide the direction of all beings."
Xuanqing asked: "How do you plan to prosper the Human Dao?"
Fu Xi replied: "With the ambition of one race, unite the ambition of ten thousand races; with the heart of the Human Dao, unite the hearts of ten thousand gods!"
Taishang looked at Fu Xi, revealing a sinister smile: "Do you want to recreate a Fierce Beast Clan?"
The last one to shout "unifying the ten thousand races with one race" was Shen Ni, the Fierce Beast Clan.
As for their end... it was tragically bad!
Fu Xi ignored Taishang's sarcasm and answered, "No, we aim to lead the Human Race."
Daoist Lord Yu Chen pondered for a moment and asked, "What is a human?"
Nuwa said, "Independent between heaven and earth, able to transform into the form of Pangu, that is a human!"
The Gods of the Netherworld heard this and laughed heartily: "According to Daoist's statement, if we go to the Mortal World, are we also human?"
Nuwa nodded as a matter of course: "Of course human."
"All Daoists walking in the Mortal World with Pangu Dao Body can be called divine humans."
"Good divine human!" Xuanqing clapped and laughed, asking again: "So the Ten Thousand Races of the Primordial, and the Gods of the Cycle, as long as they are in the Mortal World, transforming into Dao Body, are they all members of the Human Race then?"
Fu Xi smiled and said, "Our Human Race, inclusive and open, justifies righteousness through faith."
"As long as they agree with this concept, they are 'human', upright 'human'!"
"Is Pangu also human?" Wangchuan began to ask again.
"Of course."
Fu Xi looked at Wangchuan and asked back: "Daoist has heard of 'Pangu True Master', right?"
"True Master, truly a person!"
"Pangu is the first person from eternity!"
[Is this possible?] The Gods of the Netherworld exchanged glances.
Although they knew Fu Xi was thoroughly deceptive, upon reflection, they felt he might be making a valid point.
Since the Pangu Dao Body was defined as human, then inversely, Pangu is a human, right?
This is what's called reversing cause and effect!
Anyway, the Pangu True Master won't jump out to refute.
He will only pull you to the Innate Before to correct with an axe.
The validity of your concept, let's see after eating Pangu's axe.
Thus, Xuanqing straightforwardly asked: "You two Daoists regard Pangu as the first person from eternity. Have you ever accepted the test of Pangu True Master?"
The implication being: have you received Pangu's certification?
If certified, everything will go smoothly.
With the agreement from Pangu God, we can open doors conveniently.
If not certified, then sorry, this matter needs further discussion.
Fu Xi and Nuwa obviously understood Xuanqing's meaning too.
They honestly stated: "Before Innate, we will go."
"By then, if any Daoists are interested, you can accompany us."
[Trying to trick us into getting hit together, right?]
The Gods of the Netherworld saw through the siblings' intentions.
These two are not only deceitful gods but also Gods of Deception.
Will they fall for it?
"Then... it's settled!" The Three Pure Ones cheerfully looked at Fu Xi and Nuwa, saying:
"We also want to see how you two Daoists practice your principles."
[Do you really want to go there?] Strange thoughts emerged in Fu Xi and Nuwa's minds.
Going to the Innate Before, one must face Pangu's axe, without exception.
Most deities, apart from proving the Dao, generally won't be too eager to go there.
