Junior Uncle is too cunning.

Before long, five great emperors—Zhuanxu, Diku, Yao, Shun, and Yu—entered. Including the Three Sovereigns, the human race has had a total of eight human emperors from ancient times to the present.

As for the other human emperors, they all passed away due to their advanced age. They were, in fact, the true backbone of the human race.

Because Zhuanxu, Diku, and Yao attained enlightenment earlier, although they did not receive as much merit as the Three Sovereigns when they abdicated, they still managed to elevate their cultivation to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

However, for cultivators who improve their realm through merit, it becomes much more difficult to improve their realm further than with normal advancement. After all, ascending from the Celestial Immortal realm to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm involves crossing three major realms and twelve realms. The rapid advancement in the early stages will definitely have an impact on the later stages.

This was achieved through merit points. Apart from the slower progress in the later stages, there were no other negative effects. If it had been achieved through elixirs or other means, one might have already suffered from qi deviation.

However, once you reach the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, you have plenty of time. After so many years of cultivation, Zhuanxu, Di Ku, and Yao have finally reached the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top realm, just like Chen Fusheng.

As for the two human emperors Yao and Shun, they attained enlightenment later than other human emperors, only reaching the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top realm a million years ago. If they were to fight, they might not necessarily be able to defeat Chen Fusheng.

After the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors sat down, the Human Emperor Xuanyuan recounted the news brought by Yin Fan, asking, "What are your thoughts on this matter?"

Zhuanxu glanced at Emperor Ku, Yao, Shun, and Yu, and said first, "I think this is feasible, but we must win the support of the Three Pure Ones."

Emperor Ku, Yao, Shun, and Yu all nodded in agreement after hearing Zhuanxu's words. They had all been emperors before, and the environment they faced back then was far more severe than it is now.

At that time, the human race was too weak. Although they were created by the goddess Nuwa, Nuwa broke through to the Saint Realm as soon as she created the human race. In order to stabilize her realm, she could only settle them in the East Sea.

Being completely clueless and unaware of anything, if it weren't for being too young and the demons and wild beasts being too lazy to eat it, the human race would probably have been wiped out long ago.

Even so, a dozen or twenty people still die every day. If it weren't for Suirenshi drilling wood to make fire, Ziyishi inventing clothes, and Youchaoshi creating houses, the human race would not exist today.

It wasn't until the Primordial Heavenly Venerable and the Tongtian Sect Master, the Sages of Taiqing, attained sainthood through the power of human education that the human race's environment finally began to change slightly. With the power of these sages, the great beings of heaven and earth finally took notice of this weak race.

In order to study the secrets of Taiqing and others' attainment of sainthood, powerful beings flocked to the human race. It was at this time that cultivation entered the human race for the first time. With the Golden Elixir Path left by the saint Taiqing, the human race began to grow rapidly. In less than a few hundred years, the first generation of humans created by Nuwa cultivated into immortals.

The three ancient ancestors, Suiren, Ziyi, and Youchao, gained immense merit because they helped the human race by creating fire, clothing, and houses. The cultivation techniques passed down to the human race were like a precious key, directly opening the door to their immortality.

In just a thousand years, they broke through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. The human race finally had a powerful being. Under their protection, the human race began to gradually leave the East Sea and venture into the entire prehistoric world.

Unfortunately, this period of peace was short-lived. Not long after, the Lich Wars began, and the human race, being a vassal of the Lich race, had no choice but to join the war.

In a great war between the Lich King and the Lich King, the powerful beings that the human race had finally grown up with were all killed or maimed.

When the Great Calamity of the Lich King ended, seventy percent of the human cultivators above the Heavenly Immortal level died, and of the remaining three, half were still disabled.

What is most heartbreaking is that the three ancestors of humanity, Suirenshi, Ziyishi, and Youchaoshi, who were at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortals, also perished in the Great Calamity of the Witch and Demon.

Without the protection of powerful Golden Immortals, the human race gradually became food for other races. Their population, which had been expanding rapidly, declined. In the end, the Golden Immortal Ancestors had no choice but to shrink the population back to the East Sea.

Along the way, countless people were eaten, lost, or died of disease or old age. By the time most of the human race returned to the East Sea, the total number of humans had decreased by a full thirty million.

It should be noted that when Suiren, Ziyi, and Youchao were alive, the total human population was only over 50 million. Suddenly, more than half of them were gone, and there was mourning everywhere.

Fortunately, after the great calamity of the Lich King, all races suffered heavy losses, giving the human race a chance to catch its breath.

Humanity could only grit its teeth and silently endure its darkest and most helpless days. Not long after, Emperor Fuxi descended to earth, and the humans who were taken in as disciples by some powerful beings had by then completed their studies and gradually became a new source of support for humanity.

In particular, the Grand Master Xuandu, who was accepted as a disciple by the Sage Taiqing, was born into the human race as a disciple of the Sage. Moreover, he was the only disciple of the Sage Taiqing. As the human race was his mother race, all the races had to give the Sage Taiqing some face.

It wasn't until Emperor Fuxi achieved sainthood that the human race finally gained the confidence to leave Dongsheng Shenzhou and head towards the four continents. After Emperor Shennong and Emperor Xuanyuan, the human race finally settled in Nanzhanbuzhou as their home.

After all three emperors became quasi-saints, the human race finally had the aura to dominate the prehistoric world. In addition, after so many years of development, the human population has increased exponentially, and even the number of cultivators is countless.

The Three Sovereigns established the dynasty, and the Five Emperors expanded it.

With the Three Sovereigns as their backers, the Five Emperors began to expand their territory and continuously grow outward to cope with the rapidly increasing population.

Many humans migrated to Dongsheng Shenzhou, Nanzhanbuzhou, Haiwaizhou, and even Xiniuhezhou.

The presence of dragons and demons makes it impossible for the human race to reach Beiju Luzhou. Ordinary humans and immortals dare not go there. The dragons, who reside in the four great seas, have become the biggest obstacle to the development of the human race in this remote corner.

Afterwards, the Human Royal Court decisively contacted the Dao Alliance and the Heavenly Court to suppress the Dragon and Demon races. It wasn't until Chen Fusheng reported the news that the Dragon and Demon races were about to form an alliance that the Dao Alliance decisively launched the East Sea Campaign. Faced with the combined forces of the Human Race and the Dao Alliance, the Dragon Race surrendered not long afterward.

Finally, the Dao Alliance, the human race, and the Heavenly Court began to join forces to deal with the demon race in Beiju Luzhou, and Chen Fusheng also grew up during this period.

Seeing that the Five Emperors had agreed, the Three Sovereigns immediately made a decision and summoned Yin Fan back to report to King Zhou that Huoyun Cave would fully support the Shang Dynasty's campaign to destroy Buddhism.

Emperor Fuxi, in particular, harbored a deep-seated hatred for Western Buddhism. Whether it was Zhunti's repeated attempts to assassinate the human race or his plots against Nuwa, as the human emperor and Nuwa's elder brother, he could not let go of this enemy, Western Buddhism.

Yin Fan's face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly bowed to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors: "Yes, I will definitely convey the words of our ancestors to Your Majesty."

Seeing Yin Fan leave, the Heavenly Emperor said to the Five Emperors, "I'll trouble you to go to the Southern Continent to guard it for a while. The three of us will also keep an eye on it secretly."

The five emperors nodded in agreement and departed. They had no objection to the three emperors' orders. Even disregarding the difference in cultivation level, they had to obey the three emperors' leadership, even in terms of seniority.

Zhuanxu was the grandson of the human emperor Xuanyuan and was known as "Gaoyang". Emperor Ku was the great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor and was known as "Gaoxin".

Yao, whose courtesy name was Fangxun, was the son of Emperor Ku, and their relationship became even closer. Shun was a sixth-generation descendant of Zhuanxu. By Shun's time, he was already an ordinary commoner, but he was recommended to Yao because of his filial piety. Yao married his two daughters to Shun to observe his virtue, and Shun eventually passed the test and inherited Yao's throne.

The last of the Five Emperors, Yu the Great, whose surname was Si, given name Wenming, and courtesy name Mi, was the great-grandson of Emperor Xuanyuan and the grandson of Emperor Zhuanxu.

So, in general, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were all from the same family. From this point on, the abdication system had a hint of a family-run empire. It wasn't until Yu the Great established the Xia Dynasty that the abdication system was officially transformed into a family-run imperial court where the throne was passed down from father to son to grandson.
