Chapter 110: The Ancestor of Zombies

  Di Ku managed the human race, and within three years, everything was on the right track. The development of the human race had stabilized, and there were no more merits to be gained. Di Ku couldn't help but consider when he should pass on the throne of the Human Emperor. Although there would still be achievements in management afterwards, they would definitely not be many.

  "It's time to go see Xuan Yuan." Emperor Ku said to himself, and without hesitation, he called Kong Xuan, Yu Yi Xian, and Ao Jiao, and flew directly towards the East Sea. Since the end of the war for the throne, Xuan Yuan had been living in seclusion on the coast of the East Sea, where her daughter Nu Wa also was.

  Thinking of the female corpse, Emperor Jiang couldn't help but smile slightly. This poor girl was invaded by Zhu Rong's polluted blood and her body underwent a mutation. Now she can no longer be considered "human", but a kind of "corpse". Moreover, it is the strongest "corpse" in the current Hong Huang, and can also be said to be the ancestor of zombies.

  Zombies can be divided into six levels: First is the "White Zombie", after the corpse enters the zombie burial ground, one month later, the whole body begins to grow white hair, this type of zombie moves slowly and is very easy to deal with. It is extremely afraid of sunlight, fire, water, chickens, dogs, and even more afraid of humans. Second is the "Black Zombie", if a White Zombie eats the blood of cattle and sheep for several years, its whole body sheds its white hair, replaced by black hair that is several inches long. At this time, it still fears sunlight and intense fire, moves relatively slowly, but begins to not fear chickens and dogs. Generally speaking, Black Zombies will avoid humans when seen, and do not dare to fight directly with humans, often sucking human blood only when people are asleep.

  The third is the "hopping corpse", after decades of absorbing yin energy and blood, its black fur falls off, and it starts to move mainly by hopping, with quick and long strides. It fears sunlight but not humans or any domestic animals.

  The fourth is the "flying corpse", evolved from the hopping corpse through the absorption of lunar yin energy. The flying corpse is usually over a hundred years old, sometimes even several hundred years old. Its movements are agile, it can jump onto roofs and trees, and leap long distances as if flying. It feeds on human essence without leaving any external wounds.

  The fifth rank is the "Bao", close to magic, with great spiritual power. The female Bao is like this, with a strong flame energy on her body, able to make it rainless in heaven.

  One more level up and it would have left the zombie category, becoming a kind of demon that is very close to the witch tribe. This demon only cultivates the flesh but not the primordial spirit, and all bodily functions are fully restored, no different from normal humans and witches. Those who can become demons have an actual strength that only reaches Golden Immortal, and it's called the last level because this demon will not further evolve physically even if its strength is increased again.

  Di Ku's visit to Xuan Yuan this time had two purposes: one was to discuss the matter of succession, and the other was about Nu Wa. Di Ku planned to help her break through to the level of Yao Mo, shake off this "Nu" state, after all, Nu still belonged to the category of zombies, which was indeed ugly, some people were not like humans or ghosts.

  As for how to proceed, the Honored One has already arranged for Candle Nine Yin to make preparations. After all, if Female Corpse were to break through to the level of Zombie Demon, she would be a worthy Ancestor of Zombies. With this status, she will inevitably reach a certain height in the future. Saints dare not think about it, but quasi-saints still have a chance. Moreover, allowing her to join the Witch God Sect as a Buddha would also subtly align with the sect's teachings.

  Di Ku and others arrived at a large mountain not far from the East Sea, and with a sweep of their divine consciousness, they had already discovered the aura of Xuan Yuan and Nü Gui. Xuan Yuan's body had a thread of imperial purple energy, while Nü Gui's body had a thick deathly aura, both were very easy to distinguish. However, the two lived on different mountain peaks, it seemed that Nü Gui was in such a state, not wanting to show herself to people, not even her father.

  Di Kuang and others went straight to the place where Xuan Yuan was, only to discover another person's aura at this time, with a considerable strength, equivalent to the early stage of Da Luo Jinxian.

  The Emperor thought for a moment and understood. It turned out to be the East Sea's eldest son, Ying Long. The Emperor was also aware of some things about him and Nüwa, but he didn't think that Ying Long would be so infatuated, always guarding here, not even afraid of being discovered by his father, the Emperor, saying that he was not doing his job properly, and might be imprisoned and punished again.

  Arriving at the thatched cottage where Xuanyuan lived, Emperor Zhuan took a good look around and found it to be a quiet and secluded place surrounded by mountains and sea.

  At this time, Xuan Yuan Ying Long also discovered the aura of Di Ku and others in the house, and hurriedly walked out, immediately stepped forward and said: "I have seen the Human Emperor."

  "Huangdi, no need to be too polite." Di Ku also took two steps forward and said, while sizing up Xuan Yuan, seeing that his face was calm and couldn't tell what he was thinking.

  Xuanyuan's expression stiffened upon hearing the two words "Huang Di", it seems he still can't let go of the position of Human Emperor. In his heart, Di Ku thought, this is perfect, passing on the throne to him should be straightforward without any twists.

  Yuanhao's excitement was palpable as he saw Emperor Zhuanxu, who had reincarnated. Everyone knew about this long ago, and now Yuanhao also understood the situation with Nüwa, which had been weighing on his mind. He couldn't find a way to help her, but seeing Emperor Zhuanxu suddenly made things clear: why not ask him for help? After all, it's said that only the person who tied the bell can untie it. Perhaps he could get Emperor Zhuanxu to bring Zhu Rong over to assist. Surely there would be a solution. However, Yuanhao and Emperor Zhuanxu didn't have much of a connection, so making such a request without a good reason seemed unjustifiable. Thinking this, Yuanhao couldn't help but feel anxious.

  "What important matter does the Emperor have for coming here this time?" Xuan Yuan Zhi asked, leading the people into the thatched cottage before speaking.

  Di Ku saw this and didn't beat around the bush, directly saying: "This time I came for two things. One is to ask Huang Di to come out of the mountain and manage the human tribe. I am the incarnation of Emperor Jiang, it's not possible for me to stay long. Now that my achievements are complete, it's time for me to step down and yield to a better person."

  Xuanyuan's heart skipped a beat as he felt a mix of emotions, finding it hard to believe that Emperor Zhuanxu had unified the human tribe for only three years and was already stepping down. Moreover, his successor was none other than himself, which made Xuanyuan feel like he was dreaming. However, he quickly regained his composure.

  "What is this other thing?" Xuan Yuan asked, his face having lost all its calmness.

  The Emperor nodded in approval upon hearing this, and did not lose his composure due to the news. Xuan Yuan was indeed a worthy candidate for the throne, born to fulfill the Mandate of Heaven.

  "Another thing is about the female ghost, I've also heard something about it, specially came to take a look, to relieve her suffering. Speaking of which, her misfortune is also related to the ancestral witch." Emperor Yi said calmly.

  Xuanyuan and Yinglong were overjoyed when they heard this, and hastily asked: "I wonder if the Human Emperor has any method to cure?" As they spoke, both of them looked at Di Ku with hopeful faces.

  "Huangdi, don't be impatient, we still need to wait for a few more people to arrive." Emperor Zhuan said calmly.

  Xuanyuan heard this and didn't say anything more. Since Emperor Ku had already said so, he must have made arrangements, but there was no need for him to worry about it himself.

  At this time, Emperor De turned his head to look at Yinglong, seeing that he was extraordinary and had a good appearance, and couldn't help but ask: "Are you the son of Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea?"

  Ying Long saw Emperor De's inquiry and respectfully replied, "What the Human Emperor said is not wrong. I am the eldest son of the East Sea, born in the era of witchcraft. In those years, Emperor Jiang Zu killed the Eastern King Gong, and although I was young at that time, I was fortunate enough to see it." As he spoke, he glanced again at the honest-looking Kong Xuan and Yu Yi Xian behind Emperor De, who had also helped the dragon clan in the past, and Ying Long's impression of them was quite deep.

  "The direct descendants of the Dragon Clan all have Ao as their surname, but you call yourself Ying Long. I don't know what your real name is?" Emperor Ku continued to ask, but he had some thoughts in mind. This person's temperament was not bad, and his strength was also good. If he were to join the Witch God Sect, become a Dragon King Guardian or something, it would be a great boost to the sect's power.

  "That year, my father the Dragon King was busy with dragon affairs and didn't think much about it. Since I'm the eldest, he named me Ao Jia. However, I thought this name was too simple, so I called myself Ying Long. It was also because of this that my father was displeased and imprisoned me above the East Sea, which is how I met Nü Ba."

  Emperor Dì Kuí thought of the future East Sea Third Prince, that poor guy who was skinned by Né Zhā, seemed to be called áo Péng, simple naming indeed.

  "A name is given by one's parents, how can it be disdained? From now on, do not call yourself Ying Long again, use your real name to show respect for others and fulfill the way of filial piety."

  Ying Long hastily said, "I respectfully listen to the Emperor's teachings." Although this Emperor was not his elder, when his identity was placed there, the Ancestor of the Wu Tribe, he did not dare not listen.

  At this time, with a burst of hearty laughter, three powerful auras suddenly appeared. Emperor Ye's heart was overjoyed, thinking that Zhu Jiu Yin and the others had arrived.

  "Great King!" Xie Jiuyin, Zhu Rong and Shebi burst through the door, saw Emperor Zhou, reined in their horses, laughed and came forward to pay their respects.

  "You're all masters of a certain school, how can you still be so flustered, not even knowing how to knock on a door?" Emperor Taizong scolded with a smile.

  "Big Brother said that we should change, next time we must knock on the door first." The three of them chuckled and laughed, this remark was so ridiculous that even Xuan Yuan and others nearby didn't believe it, let alone Emperor Yi who understood them very well.

  Di Hao didn't bother to respond to them. He immediately turned around and looked at Xuan Yuan, saying: "The person has arrived, we can go rescue Nuwa now."

  Xuanyuan Huo's excitement was palpable as he immediately led the crowd to the mountain where the female demon resided.

  In the mountains, a singing voice lingered, like the sound of an oriole, extremely pleasant to listen to. It was probably a female immortal who was bored in the mountains and only passed the time with her singing voice. However, when many people approached, the singing voice suddenly stopped, probably because she had discovered the presence of Emperor Taizong and others.

  Xuanyuan pointed to a cave in front of him and said self-reproachingly, "This is where the Female Drought Spirit lives. The Female Drought Spirit has the Fire Flame Divine Ability, but she can't control it, so she must live in this cave to avoid affecting the weather outside."

  Ying Long sighed and said: "The bottom of the mountain cave is connected to the coast of the East Sea. I was imprisoned there that year, and that's how I met Nü Gui."

  At this time, a pleasant voice came from inside the cave, "Is Father coming?"

  Xuanyuan heard this and immediately burst into tears, "It's Father who has come, the Human Emperor has already found Zhourong Zuowu, he will definitely be able to cure your illness."

  The cave fell silent, and after a long time, the female ghost's voice came again. "Since that's the case, then I'll have to trouble Zu Wu. However, I don't want Father to come in and see me like this, nor should Ying Long brother."

  Ying Long had long known the thoughts of Nü Wa, otherwise he would not have seen her for a long time. On the other hand, Xuan Yuan was stunned and had seen Nü Wa's appearance before, but now it seemed to have deteriorated?

  Di Kuai listened and did not hesitate, leaving Kong Xuan's wings outside, while he himself walked in with Zhu Que, Zhu Rong, and She Bi Shi. The cave was dark and damp, causing Di Kuai to frown, thinking that this place was not suitable for human habitation.

  As they walked further in, they found a figure sitting on a rock, vaguely visible as a woman. However, upon closer inspection, Emperor Yi and the others couldn't help but sigh - this person had an ugly face, was bald with no hair, and her pleasant voice didn't match her appearance at all.

  "Xiang Bi's corpse said to Zhu Rong on the side: 'You really are harmful to people.'"

  Zhurong's face was innocent, "The polluted blood that was sprayed out during the great war back then, I didn't know it would have this consequence either."

  Before they could say more, the female ghost stood up and bowed to the four of them, "Thank you, Master Wu, for coming to rescue me. I have nothing to repay you with."

  "Don't be too polite, just endure the pain when the time comes, and resist with your heart." said Emperor Wu.

  The woman nodded slightly and didn't say anything more.

  At this time, Zhu Rong didn't hesitate either. The aura on his body surged, and he immediately forced out a drop of essence blood, which instantly entered the female corpse's body. The female corpse suddenly felt like she was being burned by fire, and it was very painful. Zhu Rong hurriedly pointed his finger at the female corpse's forehead, and the Nine Turns Mysterious Skill started to operate, helping the female corpse refine the essence blood.

  At this time, Xiāo Bǐ's corpse also squeezed out a drop of essence blood, which entered the body of Nǚ Gǔ. If Nǚ Gǔ wants to break through to the state of Corpse Demon, she must absorb enough heavenly and earthly aura. Xiāo Bǐ cultivates the Way of Heaven, which is in harmony with her, and with his essence blood merging into her, she will definitely be able to break through.

  The result was as Emperor Ye had expected, the female corpse's aura began to change, her appearance began to recover, and the intense flame energy on her body slowly dissipated. It was at this moment of breakthrough, or perhaps it would be more accurate to call it evolution, that Emperor Ye seemed to have seen the birth of a legendary zombie ancestor. Vote for recommendation
