Fuxi's voice came out of the Mountain and River Map, saying, ”There won't be Fuxi of the Demon Tribe after my reincarnation, only the human Fuxi.” Goddess Nvywa's expression changed drastically. Though she understood what he meant, she still couldn't bring herself to accept it.
Minghe nodded. ”Alright. Since that's the case, Fuxi will be the Heavenly Sovereign of the Three Sovereigns. Goddess Nvywa, the Karma I owed you is now repaid.” He felt like a burden was lifted from him after repaying his Karma.
The rest of the Sages cared only about the position of the Mentor of Human Sovereigns. Since they couldn't send their disciples to be incarnated as the Human Sovereigns, they could only snatch the Mentor positions for their disciples and receive the Merit for the Human Sovereigns.
They looked at each other, obviously having reached an agreement. They couldn't possibly allow Minghe enjoy the Mentor positions alone. They needed to work together to suppress him and wrestle the position away. Otherwise, they really couldn't imagine how much more Luck he would receive from the Human Tribe after the era of the Three Royals and Five Emperors arrived.
Laozi calmed down himself and said gravely, ”Minghe, your Religion of Asura isn't compatible with the Human Tribe and can only be preached to the Asura Tribe. The Three Royals and Five Emperors have the duty of teaching the Human Tribe. The Kongtong Seal is in your hands but you can't use it anyway. Why don't you hand it to us to guide the Human Sovereigns?”
Laozi was right. The Religion of Asura was truly incompatible with humans. The reason why the Human Tribe would be the future ruler of Heaven and Earth wasn't simply because they were the strongest tribe. It was also because they rarely killed. In the future, more and more common people would be born. Even if the humans go to war, the damage they cause wouldn't be too great. Who would be the ruler of the heaven and earth if not the Human Tribe?
Minghe sneered. ”Laozi, are you kidding me? Why must I give you my things? Even if my Religion of Asura isn't suitable for the Human Tribe, but my disciples aren't from that religion. They can also be the Mentors of Human Sovereigns.”
The Honoured Lord of the Origin replied, ”Minghe, you only have three disciples, including Black Tortoise of the Human Tribe. Don't tell me you're planning to take all eight positions for yourself. The positions aren't a small matter. If the Human Sovereigns couldn't return their position, I'll see how you'll explain yourself to the teacher.”
Minghe replied placidly, ”Lord of the Origin, don't try and use the Honourable Ancestor to pressure me. My Self-centric Separation have lived among humans for a long time and knows everything about the affairs of the tribe. Their drawbacks naturally wouldn't be a problem to him. I can say with ease that my disciples are capable of being the Mentors of Human Sovereign. Besides, we'll be receiving merit after the Human Sovereigns fulfill their duties. No one would turn down Merits, so why should I share it with you people?”
The Sages flew into a rage after hearing that. Minghe was so stubborn! They wanted nothing more than kill him right there and then, but didn't dare to do so because they were in Zixiao Palace. Besides, Minghe wouldn't die unless the Blood Sea runs dry. Even if they cooperate to kill him, he might not really die. When that time comes, what would be waiting for them would be his frenzied counterattack.
For a moment, silence befell the palace. There was nothing the Sages could do if Minghe wouldn't relent. Instead, it was Goddess Nvywa who saw through everything. She didn't care if the Sages wanted the Mentor positions but if they somehow affected Fuxi becoming the Human Sovereign, then that would be her business.
She clearly knew it wasn't that Minghe didn't want to relent. He knew he was no match for the five Sages, but he simply refused to take the initiative to compromise. He alone had helped the tribe reach its current position. Naturally, he wouldn't be unwilling to give up the Mentor positions. He was still waiting. He waited for the other Sages to compromise and when that happened, he would likely get the biggest slice of the pie.
Since the other Sages weren't willing to open their mouths, Goddess Nvywa decided to be the peacemaker. She said quietly, ”You're all aware how much effort Minghe put into the tribe since their birth. I don't think it's very appropriate for you all to force him to give that up for nothing.” Having said this, Goddess Nvywa also felt ashamed. Indeed, since the birth of the tribe, she had done little for them. She, as their Sacred Lady, was truly incompetent.
