"It's all because the Immortal Emperor is so despicable, allying with the Demon Clan to annihilate the Human Race Dao Lineage, so that we can only look up and breathe through our noses, even the emperor can only call himself the Son of Heaven."

"Indeed, I used to think being the Son of Heaven was quite impressive, but compared to the Human Emperor, it's nothing."

"Who would want to be someone else's son if they could be their own master..."

"Fortunately, the Human Emperor Inheritance has revived, and our human race has welcomed a new hope."

"Speaking with such enthusiasm, is there any chance it's fake?"

"It can't be fake, so many poems have suddenly appeared out of nowhere, each one of them will be cherished for ages. If these poems had been passed down from earlier times, their writers would have been famous already!"

"With the Human Emperor Inheritance returning to the world, the Immortal Emperor must be restless. He might send troops to suppress it anytime now!"

"What is there to fear? 'Don't mock me for reveling on the battlefield; since ancient times, how many have returned from conquests?' If the ancient sages had such spirit, don't we have it too?"

"I never thought the Immortal Emperor would be such a lowly person."

"Hush, beware that the gods are always overhead..."

...

The disturbances in the Capital City naturally could not escape the overseeing Yin Gods.

Inside the City God Temple,

Capital City God Zong Bing, uneasy with the information gathered by his subordinates, asked, "So this is the Human Emperor's plan? Commander Meng, do you think the matter of the Human Emperor is true or false?"

Day Roaming God Commander Meng Daonian replied, "Nine out of ten, it's true."

Night Roaming God Commander Huo Shu frowned, "No wonder the person holding the Emperor's Token asked us to restrain our subordinates. If word gets out, the Immortal Emperor might send troops immediately to crusade against Emperor Donghua."

Meng Daonian said despondently, "It's such a pity that the ancient Human Race was so splendid."

Zong Bing said, "Emperor Donghua has received the Human Race inheritance and intends to establish the Dao in the Mortal Realm. This matter won't stay hidden for long, the Eastern Polar Continent may be plunged into chaos."

Huo Shu nodded in agreement, "First came the Evil Demons, and now the Human Emperor Inheritance has emerged in the world; it seems the Mortal Realm may witness another war of Immortals and Demons. Truly the workings of fate!"

Meng Daonian said, "Compared to the Human Emperor Inheritance, the Evil Demons are nothing."

Zong Bing said, "Even if there are calamities, it's not our role as Yin Gods to fight, right?"

Meng Daonian looked at him, "Of course, it's not our place to enter the battlefield, but have you considered, if the Human Emperor truly revives, will there still be a place for us Yin Gods in the human world? After all, we are officials of the Immortal Court!"

Zong Bing frowned, "Surely Emperor Donghua wouldn't betray us after using our help!"

Huo Shu asked, "What do we do then? Just stand by and watch without doing anything?"

Meng Daonian glared at him, "What would you do? The county official is no match for the current authority, we have South Peak Emperor above us, and further up is Emperor Donghua, can we bypass both and go whistle-blow to the Immortal Emperor? We Yin Gods, without the Immortal Emperor's decree, can't even enter South Heaven Gate without being eliminated."

Zong Bing sighed, "Each of us should restrain our subordinates and just watch; it's not our place to intervene in the strife of Daluo Golden Immortals..."

...

In the Capital City,

Phoenix Perch Tower.

Upon hearing the news of the Human Emperor Inheritance, the top courtesan Bai Zimei hesitated for a long time. Taking advantage of the night, she transformed into a streak of green smoke, shooting straight out of the Capital City, using Escape Light to rush straight toward the boundless mountains.

...

Xu Jinkui and others, along with the members from various Cultivation Sects, came to the Capital City and were almost dumbfounded upon hearing the news about the Human Emperor.

Unlike Xu Jinghui, they knew the true identity of their ancestor.

They had no doubts about the matters of the Human Emperor, for their ancestor was a contemporary of the Daoist Ancestor, and no one understood the ancient secrets better than him.

However,

They didn't believe that Emperor Donghua had received the Human Emperor Inheritance; they were more inclined to believe that it was their ancestor who got the Human Emperor Inheritance, thus possessing the courage to resist the Daoist Ancestor.

This information, albeit sudden, was good news for them and greatly boosted the confidence of everyone from Dragon Tiger Mountain.

The ancient Heavenly Demon, the Human Emperor Inheritance, any trifle from their ancestor's hands was enough for them to feast upon.

...

The more people believe in something, the more likely it becomes a reality...

Duge stood amidst the skies, his senses encompassing the entire Capital City, taking pleasure in the turmoil he had stirred, his lips curling into a smile.

In a world of technology, drawing such a big pie would probably be treated as a joke, but in a mythical world, fabricating an ancient era was far too easy.

Once he ascended the throne,

The news of "Literary and Martial Hearts" would spread, and this matter would become real.

If someone really awakened the Literary Heart, his Dao in this world might indeed become reality.

But why wait for people to awaken?

That would be far too slow!

Duge chuckled softly, and suddenly dived into the Ministry of Rites Mansion.

...

The next day,

In the Capital City, the dirt roads were padded with yellow earth, lanterns and decorations were hung up, and the guards from the Imperial Guard Army tightly sealed off all intersections.

Nine hundred and sixty civil and military scholars lined the streets performing the Human Emperor dance, reciting poems, and chanting praise for the merits of the sages.

Senior citizens, wealthy clans, those with reputations or noble families who were people of standing, and so on were invited to the royal palace to witness the ceremony.

The cultivators from various Cultivation Sects stood in the air, riding on sword lights, holding massive banners to honor the Human Emperor.

"Dragon Tiger Mountain congratulates the new Human Emperor on his ascension."

"Purple Rosy Clouds Sect celebrates the new Human Emperor's rule over all under heaven."

"Star Palace celebrates the new Human Emperor's rule over all under heaven."

...

All departments worked together, making the abdication ceremony exceptionally grand.

At the beat of one drum,

All officials took their place, inviting the Human Emperor to ascend the throne;

At the beat of two drums,

The old emperor, with both hands, presented the Jade Seal, kneeling before the new Human Emperor to symbolize the official transfer of power;

At the beat of three drums,

The civil and military officials congratulated the Human Emperor on his position, cheering "Endless generations, may the seed of the Human Race forever endure"...

At the beat of four drums.
