Chapter 787: The Ceremony At Emperor Mountain, The Heavenly Dao Bestows The Human King Seal

“That person shall be you…”

Chu Kuangren was momentarily stunned at Yan Wu’s proposal to elect him to lead all of the human race. Then, he looked across the room.

Since the rest of the meeting attendants were looking at him with excitement, he nodded. “If that’s the case, I shall accept your offer.”

Judging by the progression of history, he was to be positioned as the Human King after all.

As such, Chu Kuangren did not reject the proposal.

Everyone smiled with relief when Chu Kuangren agreed.

“Alright. I’ll call a meeting with the rest of the tribe leaders soon so that they can see you in person,” said Yan Wu.

“That’s right. It’s about time humans have their own king.”

The attendants were riled up by this new development.

On the other hand, Chu Kuangren was calm and composed.

At one side, Greenie noticed the contrast and lamented. When Chu Kuangren first told him that he wanted to become king, Greenie believed in it.

However, Greenie had never expected Chu Kuangren to succeed in such a short period of time. It all happened too quickly.

A few days later.

Yan Wu and the high ranks had concluded their discussions.

The leaders from other tribes had no objection to Chu Kuangren becoming the leader of the human race. After all, it was impossible to undermine his abilities and contributions.

This event could be considered one of the most significant things to happen in the human race’s history. After several days of discussion, Yan Wu and the tribe leaders decided to host a ceremony on Emperor Mountain to announce Chu Kuangren as their king.

Emperor Mountain.

It was the place where the first cultivator ascended into an Emperorhood. Although that particular Emperor had long passed away, Emperor Mountain was blessed by the Heavenly Dao and had become the place where many other cultivators affirmed their Dao.

The Emperor Mountain was a meaningful and ceremonial place for the human race. That was why Yan Wu and others had chosen this place to host Chu Kuangren’s conferral.

On this day, Emperor Mountain was packed with humans.

Most of the human race’s leaders had come to witness the conferral.

Atop the Emperor Mountain sat an altar.

In the past, the altar was used by believers to place their offerings for the gods. However, on this day, this altar was used to commemorate the human race’s event.

Under the gaze of many cultivators, Chu Kuangren stepped onto the altar, where a large golden seal was placed.

The seal was made with the most precious ores, which many tribes contributed, and forged in the hands of Chi Yang himself.

Objectively, the seal was not a remarkable treasure.

It could not even compare to an ordinary Emperor Weapon.

However, it was an important token.

It was a token that signified the tribes’ faith and determination to elect Chu Kuangren as the Human King.

Chu Kuangren stepped onto the stage and announced, “With the heaven and earth as my witnesses, I, Cang, shall accept my duty as the leader of the human race.”

“From here onwards, I’m obliged to lead the human race into victory. May the glory of the human race spread throughout all of Firmament Star!”

With the help of Chu Kuangren’s mind power, his voice echoed throughout all of Emperor Mountain.

Countless humans heard Chu Kuangren’s statement, and as they stared at his figure from afar, they knew that a new era was awaiting the human race.

Boom, boom…

Suddenly, the clouds began to roll across the sky.

A violet ray of lightning pillar shot down from above. It was infused with countless Daoist patterns and emitted a powerful amount of divine power.

The gods had made their move.

However, Chu Kuangren simply sneered at their attempts.

He mobilized his mind power and effortlessly shattered the lightning.

“Today’s celebration is only for humans. Do you gods want to join the party as well?” Chu Kuangren snorted.

“Hmph! Cang, the human race won’t last long with you in the lead.” A cold voice echoed from the void.

Chu Kuangren knew that it was one of the Venerable Gods speaking to him. Specifically, it was the Venerable Lightning God.

“We shall wait and see. By the way, please send a message back to Godly Mountain that I’ll be paying them a visit soon.”

Chu Kuangren’s remark was like a bomb that went off out of nowhere, and it made the cultivators light-headed.

The Godly Mountain was the gods’ main headquarters and place of residence. No one had ever been allowed to enter the sacred location.

That was especially true for humans, who were not even allowed to get close to it.

Yet, Chu Kuangren just nonchalantly announced that he would be paying them a visit soon!

The cultivators were not foolish enough to think it was just another harmless visit. After all, the gods would never welcome such visitations anyway.

In that case, there was only one possibility.

Chu Kuangren was about to turn that place upside down!

Could it be? Could it be…

Was the newly conferred leader of the human race intending to wage a war against the gods so soon?! Was it not too rushed?

They were not prepared at all.

Above the clouds.

Without needing the Venerable Thunder God to convey the message, the Venerable Gods, who had been observing from afar, were already shaking furiously. Their faces were ashen.

“Ridiculous! Just ridiculous!”

“This Cang guy is too much. Where does he think the Godly Mountain is for him to come and go as he pleases? Hilarious!”

“That’s right. If he dares step into this place, we’ll make sure he never returns.”

The Venerable Gods were infuriated by Chu Kuangren’s words.

They swore that if Chu Kuangren dared to infiltrate the Godly Mountain, they would pay whatever price was required to kill him off.

“Hmph, then I shall prepare your funeral right at the Godly Mountain.”

The Venerable Thunder God snorted and vanished without a trace.

With that, the ceremony continued.

Chu Kuangren lifted the golden seal that was the size of two opened palms.

Heaven and earth began to shudder.

Soon, gold, luminous clouds appeared on the horizon as formless energies surrounded the seal and lifted it up.

The clouds swarmed rapidly into the golden seal.

After that, the seal radiated brilliantly, with countless Daoist patterns flowing through it.

The cultivators were astonished to see the spectacular conjuration.

Once all the clouds had infused into the golden seal, three words were carved into the item. It read… Human King Seal!

“D-Did the Heavenly Dao bestow the Human King Seal upon Chu Kuangren?”

“The Heavenly Dao has blessed the human race. This is phenomenal! The Heavenly Dao has acknowledged Saint Cang as the indisputable leader of the human race. Haha…”

“Nothing can stop the rise of the human race now.”

“Human King, Human King!”

“Long live the Human King!”

Yan Wu was the first to kneel alongside his tribe members before humans of other tribes quickly followed.

“Long live the Human King!”

The humans near Emperor Mountain were not the only ones to kneel. Humans scattered across Firmament Star seemed to sense the change, and they all knelt in the direction of Emperor Mountain.

Human King!

At this moment, the human race welcomed the arrival of their king.

Meanwhile, as the gods stared at this phenomenon from the Emperor Mountain far away, their faces looked grim.

“Not only does Cang possess the ability to wield the Heavenly Might, but the Heavenly Dao also acknowledges his title. Could humans really become the next ruler of this world?”

“D*mn it. How did an outlier like Cang appear in the first place?”

“Aren’t all humans supposed to be weak and feeble?”

The gods were puzzled.

They had always seen humans as nothing other than tools to provide them powers through faith. Humans had never come across as worthy opponents to them. Yet, this time, the gods were threatened by this supposedly weak species.

It was a threat far more pressing than the ones they had felt from other powerful species. Could the humans overturn their rulership?

An uncomfortable question popped up in the gods’ minds.

They quickly shook their heads and tossed out the ridiculous idea. How could it be possible for humans to defeat them?

“It’s Cang!”

“Out of all the humans, only Cang has what it takes to resist the gods. Once we kill him off, the human race will become disunited again, and we won’t have to worry anymore!”

The gods’ desire to kill Chu Kuangren grew stronger.
