Chapter 528 The Water Emperor is Coming! The Bull Clan?
The last portion of merit, about 20%, transformed into a stream of light that pierced through the void and flew towards the Western Paradise.
However, before it even reached the west, an invisible force intercepted the power of merit halfway there.
Many great figures, upon seeing this, were naturally filled with sighs of regret.
"this?"
"The merit that should have gone to Western religions has been intercepted?"
"It seems like this isn't the first time, is it?"
"It was...it was Heaven that took away that merit!"
"There's nothing we can do; Western religions simply owe Heaven a great deal of merit."
"..."
Many great figures were deeply moved.
They had witnessed a similar scene more than once.
Putting aside other things, there was the earlier cross-industry battle.
Jieyin and Zhunti then gained a great deal of heavenly merit.
Unfortunately, when the merits were distributed, all the merits that fell to the west were taken back by the Heavenly Dao.
Of course, many powerful beings also knew about it.
The reason why Heaven took away the merits given to the Western religion is because the West originally owed Heaven merits.
When Jieyin and Zhunti established the Western Sect and attained sainthood, their merits were insufficient.
Left with no other choice, the two made forty-eight great vows, borrowing merit from the Heavenly Dao, and finally succeeded in attaining sainthood.
Now, those who have gained merit through Western religions should repay it.
Meanwhile, in the western realm, Mount Sumeru.
"well……"
After seeing that the merits he had accumulated from his journey to the West had been intercepted by the Heavenly Dao, Zhunti sighed helplessly and lamented:
"Senior brother."
"When will we be able to repay the merits we owe to Heaven?"
Upon hearing this, Jieyin, his face filled with sorrow, replied:
"I don't know either."
"But as long as you keep paying it off, there will eventually be a day when it's all paid off."
……
With Emperor Ku of the Wood Realm attaining enlightenment, the human race entered a period of stable development.
Time flies, and several years have passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, another purple aura descended from the sky above the human race.
Although it was done very subtly, all the sages sensed it and turned their gazes toward the human race.
Everyone knows that this is the third of the Five Emperors about to descend.
Meanwhile, inside Hao City.
"The Water Emperor... is about to be born."
Emperor Ku stood before the palace, his gaze piercing through the void, looking towards the ethereal purple aura deep in the sky, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.
Although he was not a saint, as one of the Five Emperors, he could sense that a new Five Emperors was about to be born.
"It seems it's time for me to head to the human holy land!"
Emperor Ku looked on with a sigh.
Without much thought, he summoned all the human ministers and announced his impending departure.
Upon hearing this, the ministers were naturally extremely reluctant to part with Emperor Ku.
But they all knew that this was destiny, so they bid farewell to Emperor Ku with tears in their eyes.
Before leaving, Emperor Ku looked at the human land he had helped.
Then, his figure gradually faded away, and following the guidance, he entered the Human Emperor Realm, the sacred land of the human race.
Within the Human Emperor Realm.
The human race, including Huangtian, Zhenyuanzi, Cangjie, Fuxi, Shennong, Xuanyuan, and Zhuanxu, had been waiting for a long time.
Upon seeing Emperor Ku arrive, everyone nodded in greeting.
"Two of the Five Emperors have already emerged; the next one will be the third Five Emperor."
Huang Tian sighed inwardly, then glanced at himself and murmured softly:
"I wonder who will be the one to teach and educate this time?"
……
Inside the Eight Views Palace on the main island of Penglai Immortal Island.
The Supreme Sage sat cross-legged on the cloud bed, his eyes slightly closed, as if he had fallen into a deep meditation.
But in reality, in the mind of the Supreme Lord, he was constantly deducing the secrets of heaven.
For a moment, the Supreme Being slowly opened his eyes.
"Strange, why is everything so shrouded in mystery after the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?"
"Even with my saintly power, I cannot deduce it."
Tai Shang muttered to himself, his brows furrowing slightly.
After a moment's hesitation, he relaxed his brows and turned his gaze to look directly in the direction of the Netherworld.
"My disciple initially said he didn't want a single teaching position."
"However, they subsequently claimed three of the spots for educating the Five Emperors."
"It seems he sensed the impending arrival of the Water Emperor. To whom will he give this opportunity for instruction?"
"Is it from the Minotaur race? Or the Human race? Or... does he use it himself?"
Previously, Niu Ben returned to Penglai Immortal Island and obtained two slots for educating the Five Emperors from the Tongtian Sect Leader.
In addition, he had previously secured an educational quota for the cattle tribe.
Therefore, Niu Ben had three places available for education.
The Supreme Sage was also very curious: who would Niu Ben choose to educate as the third of the Five Emperors, the Water Emperor?
On the other side, inside the Biyou Palace on the sub-island.
The Master of Heaven was sitting opposite the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, discussing the Dao.
Sensing that the third of the Five Emperors was about to be born, Yuanshi Tianzun smiled slightly and said:
"Third brother, you're quite good to Niu Ben."
"The quotas for educating the Five Emperors were given away as soon as they were offered."
Upon hearing what Yuanshi Tianzun said, Tongtian Jiaozhu remained calm and replied:
"Second brother, stop teasing me."
"If it were you, you'd probably give the rehabilitation spot to that cow without hesitation, right?"
Upon hearing this, the Primordial Celestial Venerable couldn't help but burst into laughter:
"Hahaha!"
He stopped laughing and nodded, saying:
"That's right!"
"Niu Ben is the senior disciple of our three religions, and he has made countless contributions to them!"
"The fact that our three religions are so united today is all thanks to him."
"Even this Penglai Immortal Island where we are now was given away by him back then."
"Not to mention..."
At this point, Yuanshi Tianzun paused slightly before adding:
"This kid is now the number one person below the Heavenly Dao Realm!"
Tongtian Jiaozhu could not deny what Yuanshi Tianzun said.
When he previously awarded the two slots for educating the Five Emperors to Niu Ben, it was based on these considerations.
After a brief silence, the Tongtian Sect Leader suddenly changed the subject and inquired:
"Second Brother."
"What will happen after the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race ends?"
Upon hearing Tongtian's question, Yuanshi Tianzun's expression immediately turned solemn.
After a slight pause, he countered with a question:
"So, Third Brother, you've also performed some calculations here?"
Tongtian nodded and murmured an 'Mmm':
"It has been simulated."
"Unfortunately, the secrets of heaven are shrouded in secrecy, and we have no way of knowing them."
Yuanshi Tianzun smiled helplessly and replied:
"Like you, I cannot predict what will happen next."
"Perhaps when the time comes, Heaven will reveal its will!"
……
Meanwhile, the Netherworld is located there.
Inside the main hall of Fengdu City.
Niu Ben suddenly sensed the changes in the human race and felt a pang of emotion:
"The third of the Five Emperors, the Water Emperor, of the human race is about to descend!"
"The remaining three spots for the Five Emperors' education are all in my hands."
"In that case, let's give the Water Emperor's teaching slot to the Bull Clan for now!"
Upon thinking of this, a resolute glint flashed in Niu Ben's eyes.
The next moment, his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.
