Chapter 485 Disciples of the Three Sects Gather! Selection of Personnel!
With the will of Heaven descending, the lineage of the teachings of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors was thus settled.
Penglai Fairy Island.
After the Three Pure Ones returned, they immediately issued a summons and rang the golden bell.
Soon, disciples of the three religions from all over the prehistoric world flocked to Penglai Immortal Island.
In the Netherworld, many disciples of the three religions who served in the Netherworld found Niu Ben.
"Senior Brother, the Penglai Golden Bell has rung! It means Master and the others are summoning the disciples of the three sects back!"
Xuan Du spoke up.
After the Underworld was first established, Niu Ben returned to Penglai Immortal Island and selected many people from among the disciples of the three religions to serve in the Underworld.
Xuandu was among them, serving as the Eastern Ghost Emperor.
Huanglong Zhenren, Jinling Shengmu, and Chijingzi served as the other five Ghost Emperors.
Niu Ben nodded, knowing in his heart that his master had summoned the disciples of the three religions to Penglai at this time to discuss the matter of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race.
After a moment's thought, a resolute glint flashed in his eyes, and he said calmly:
"Let's go, I'll go back to Penglai with you!"
Although Niu Ben is now a saint-level being and the lord of the underworld.
But he was still the eldest disciple of the Supreme Sage and the senior disciple of the three religions.
Without further ado, Niu Ben led Xuandu and the other disciples of the three religions straight to Penglai Immortal Island.
Before long, everyone returned to Penglai Island.
At this moment, on the main island.
Many disciples of the three religions gathered together, chatting in small groups.
Soon, three streams of light descended, revealing their true forms—the Three Pure Ones.
Upon seeing the Three Pure Ones appear, Niu Ben and the others all bowed in respect.
"Greetings, Master!"
"Greetings, Senior Uncle!"
Seeing the disciples of the three religions gathered in Penglai, the Three Pure Ones smiled with satisfaction.
Then, the Supreme Sage stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over all the disciples, and said:
"Gentlemen."
"The reason I have rang the three golden bells to summon you back is because there is an important matter to discuss."
This was said by the Supreme Sage.
The disciples of the three religions below all felt a chill run down their spines.
Earlier, they had all noticed that the Three Pure Ones, the two saints of the Western Sect, and the saint Nuwa had descended upon the ancestral land of the human race.
In addition, it even manifested the Heavenly Dao in the end.
Although they didn't know the specifics, the disciples could guess that something big must have happened.
Otherwise, the Three Pure Ones would not have rung the Three Teachings Golden Bell to summon all the disciples of the Three Teachings.
Next, the Supreme Sage did not hide anything and briefly told the disciples of the three religions about the birth of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors in the human race.
After hearing what the Supreme Lord said, the disciples of the three religions were naturally shocked.
"Oh?"
"Humans? The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?"
"A predetermined fate?"
"So, in the coming primordial era, the human race will be the dominant species?"
"Who would have thought! The human race would one day be able to rule over the entire primordial world."
"Isn't the Bull Clan, to which our eldest brother belongs, the most powerful race in the primordial world?"
"..."
Immediately, many disciples exclaimed in surprise.
No one expected that the human race would become the protagonist of the prehistoric world.
In addition, many disciples also spoke out for the bull clan.
After all, in their view, the Bull Clan had two Saints.
Niu Ben is the senior disciple of the three religions!
Logically speaking, after the decline of the demon race and the witch race, they migrated to the demon realm and the witch realm, respectively. The bull race should be the largest race in the prehistoric world!
Who would have thought that the way of Heaven would reveal that the coming primordial era seemed to belong to the human race.
Niu Ben didn't seem to care, maintaining a nonchalant expression.
He never supported the Bull Clan's attempt to dominate the land.
Otherwise, when the Lich War broke out, Niu Ba went to the Underworld to find him, hoping to get the Niu Clan involved in the Lich War, Niu Ben wouldn't have been so kind to persuade him.
In the end, this made Niu Ba give up his idea of fighting for supremacy.
Moreover, while others may not know, Niu Ben is very clear about it.
The rise of the human race to the main stage of the prehistoric world was an inevitable trend that would not be swayed by the will of their sages.
Just as the disciples of the three religions were discussing among themselves, the Supreme Sage swept his gaze across the crowd.
Upon receiving the Supreme Being's gaze, the disciples of the three religions fell silent, daring not to discuss it further.
At this moment, the Supreme Sage continued:
"The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race were revealed by the Way of Heaven and were ordained by Heaven."
"In the past, the Heavenly Dao manifested in the primordial world and bestowed its will. Our three religions should take on the responsibility of educating and guiding the human race, just like the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors."
"Among them, the Three Sovereigns occupy two spots, while the Five Emperors have four spots for education and moral guidance."
At this point, the Supreme Sage paused briefly, then added:
"This matter concerns the fate of our three religions, and also the future of the primordial world."
"The reason I have summoned you all back today is to discuss who should take on this responsibility of education."
Upon hearing this, the disciples of the three religions present were immediately invigorated.
Everyone knows that if this could educate the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race and ultimately help them attain enlightenment, it would be an immense achievement.
Because the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were ordained by Heaven, their educational achievements would surely bring immense merit.
In the primordial world, the power of merit is a panacea.
Not only can it be used to refine magical treasures, but it can also be used to improve one's cultivation level. Even saints value the power of merit.
In his excitement, Xuandu was the first to step forward, looked up at the Supreme Sage, and said:
"Master!"
"This disciple is willing to go to the human race to teach the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors."
As soon as Xuandu finished speaking, Guangchengzi of the Chan Sect acted swiftly, stepping aside and bowing deeply to the Three Pure Ones:
"Three division commanders!"
"I am willing to go."
Then, Daoist Duobao of the Jie Sect also volunteered:
"I wish!"
"I hope my teachers will grant my request!"
As Xuandu and the other two spoke, the disciples of the other three sects also spoke up, volunteering to go to the human race to educate the three sovereigns and five emperors who would be born.
After all, this is not a chore, but a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Upon hearing what the disciples of the three religions said, Taishang glanced at them slightly, but did not rush to make a decision. Instead, he turned his gaze to look at Yuanshi and Tongtian.
Seeing the gaze directed at him by the Supreme Lord, Yuanshi smiled faintly and said:
"Brother, you decide on this person."
At the same time, Tongtian also nodded and said:
"That's right."
"The three religions are one family; anyone can be sent."
Upon hearing this, Taishang fell into deep thought, then turned his gaze and landed directly on Niu Ben.
"Niu Ben, what are your thoughts?"
"Would you be willing to participate in this?"
As soon as the Supreme Being spoke, all the disciples of the three religions present fell silent and looked at Niu Ben in unison.
They all knew very well that if Niu Ben were willing, then the task of educating and guiding would probably not be theirs.
Niu Ben remained calm. Before returning to Penglai, he had already guessed that the purpose of the Three Pure Ones was to select the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to educate the human race.
He paused for a moment, then shook his head and said calmly:
"Master, this disciple will not participate."
