The Immortal Realm experienced changing tides.
The Demon Race grew powerful, harboring the ambition to swallow the Immortal Realm whole, leading to the rise of heroes from myriad races.
Among the Human Race, countless Prodigies emerged, and the succession to the Human Emperor position was constantly watched by innumerable people.
After many years, the Human Emperor position for this generation predictably fell to Lu Fan, who originated from Lingxu Heavenly Palace, rose from obscurity, and bore immense Human Race Luck.
Compared to Han Xuanji's simulation of Lu Fan's process, Lu Fan's development in reality was infinitely smoother.
By condensing nine marks of Humanitys Fortune, Lu Fan's Foundation was not only infinitely more solid than in the simulation, but he was also highly regarded by many Human Race Great Powers, who believed he might lead the Human Race to become the ultimate winner in this Great Calamity.
On this day, within a radius of 100,000 li around the Human Race Holy City, "Fuxi City," auspicious clouds gathered, propitious Qi streamed, and immortal music played continuously.
Countless Human Race Cultivators and representatives from various forces gathered here.
On the cloud platform that soared into the clouds, ancient Human Dao runes lit up sequentially, emitting vast fluctuations that connected heaven and earth and gathered Luck.
At the very front of the viewing area, several figures were particularly eye-catching. They did not deliberately emit auras, yet naturally became the focus of many gazes.
They were Nangong Wenjian and Jiang Hao, the two who had helped Lu Fan secure the Human Emperor position over the years.
Over the years, Nangong Wenjian and Jiang Hao had carved out their own domains. The former upheld the Sword Dao, traveled the world, and tempered himself through life-and-death battles. Although his reputation was not as prominent as Lu Fan or Su Ming, his Sword Heart grew purer and clearer, and his cultivation had steadily stepped into the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm.
Jiang Hao's aura was deep as the sea, and he also presented himself as a Taiyi Golden Immortal. Everyone knew that his strength was definitely not inferior to those veteran Taiyi Golden Immortals.
"It truly wasn't easy for Junior Brother Lu to reach this point."
Jiang Hao sighed softly.
"From now on, the true beginning starts."
Nangong Wenjian said slowly, his eyes filled with approval.
"Hmph hmph, that's also because this Venerable One guided him well."
Beside the two, a magnificent and breathtakingly beautiful Phoenix Bird spoke.
Its form was elegant and slender. It was Little Red.
Over the years, he had obediently followed Han Xuanji's arrangements and blocked multiple attacks from the Demon Race, including even a Demon Race Expert of the Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal Realm.
Seeing Little Red suddenly appear, Jiang Hao and the other dared not ignore him and quickly began to flatter him:
"Without Senior's intervention, we truly wouldn't be where we are today."
"Mm."
Little Red thoroughly enjoyed the flattery of the two, and the feathers on his body seemed to brighten considerably.
The auspicious time had arrived.
Above the altar, Lu Fan wore the Human Emperor's ceremonial robes, which were deep black embroidered with patterns of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, and the state. He wore the Human Emperor's crown, with twelve strings of beads hanging down. His aura was as solid as a mountain yet as vast as a great river or sea.
After years of battles and tempering, coupled with the blessing of Humanitys Fortune, his cultivation had also reached Taiyi Golden Immortal Perfection, surpassing countless Prodigies.
At this moment, standing atop the altar, he seemed to be the embodiment of the entire Human Race's will.
The ceremonial officer announced the rites, and ancient and grand sacrificial writings echoed throughout heaven and earth.
Following ancient rites, Lu Fan completed the sacrifices to Heaven and Earth, to his ancestors, and to the myriad people, step by step.
As the ceremony progressed, massive Human Race Luck surged from all directions like a golden torrent, converging above the altar. Nine phantoms of ten-thousand-zhang Luck Golden Dragons condensed, seemingly about to pierce the Nine Heavens.
In the viewing seats, Jiang Hao and Nangong Wenjian exchanged smiles, their eyes full of joy.
Lingxu Heavenly Palace also sent several Chief Elders to observe the ceremony, including Chief Elders Yuheng and Yuxuan, who also showed expressions of relief and gratification.
When Lu Fan took the final step onto the highest point of the altar and received the "Human Emperor Seal," which symbolized the Human Emperor's authority, the Luck Golden Dragons in the sky completely solidified, roaring toward the heavens, their sound shaking the Nine Heavens!
Countless Golden Lotuses emerged from the Void Realm, sweet springs gushed from the earth, and the Heavenly Dao seemed to respond, bathing the world in auspicious light.
"I, Lu Fan, today receive the mandate of Heaven and Earth, inherit the will of the ancestors, and accept the trust of the myriad people, ascending to the position of Human Emperor! I shall diligently and frugally govern, strive for prosperity, protect my Human Race, bless my common people, and ensure that the Human Dao flourishes and continues forever!"
Lu Fan's voice clearly spread throughout the Holy City, and then traveled to every corner of the distant Human Race territory, carrying undeniable majesty.
The Human Emperor, Lu Fan, was thus crowned!
"Boom—!"
Without any warning, an ineffably vast aura surged from Lu Fan's body, shooting straight through the Nine Heavens.
Above the entire Fuxi Holy City, the situation changed dramatically.
Purple Qi came from the east for 30,000 li. Innumerable Great Dao Runes manifested within the Purple Qi, and the sound of the Dao boomed. The Heavenly Dao was celebrating the birth of a new Daluo.
Immediately after, seven-colored divine springs gushed from the earth, phantoms of Dragons and Phoenixes cried out and circled the sky, and faint light and shadows of ancient sages and wise men nodded and smiled... These incredible Heaven and Earth Phenomena far exceeded the scale of an ordinary Daluo's Breakthrough, because Lu Fan's Breakthrough was closely linked to the Human Race's Luck, triggering a Great Dao feedback related to the rise and fall of an entire race!
"This is... Breakthrough to Daluo?"
Jiang Hao gasped, his eyes filled with shock and a hint of envy.
Although he knew Lu Fan had a deep Foundation, he never expected that immediately after ascending the throne and being blessed by Luck, he would naturally take this crucial step!
"It seems Lu Fan has walked ahead of us."
Nangong Wenjian spoke succinctly, his eyes bursting with fervent light, genuinely happy for Lu Fan.
"Human Emperor Your Majesty... broke through right after ascending the throne?"
"The Human Race has gained another Grand Unity Golden Immortal Expert! Truly, Heaven blesses our Human Race!"
"Such phenomena are unheard of! Lu Fan's deep Foundation and immense Luck probably rival the Ancient Holy Emperors!"
The many Human Race Grand Unity Golden Immortal Experts who came to observe the ceremony were also deeply shocked.
Especially the Chief Elders of Lingxu Heavenly Palace—it was already an immense honor for their Sect to produce a Human Emperor. Now, this Human Emperor entered the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm on the day of his ascension. What a sign of long-lasting Luck!
At the same time, several people spontaneously thought of Han Xuanji.
As Lu Fan's Master, he was not present.
But to be able to teach a Disciple like Lu Fan, who possessed such profound Luck, and to cultivate a Sword Immortal like Li Taiqing, who cut down seven Taiyi Golden Immortals... plus Disciples like Jiang Hao and Nangong Wenjian, who were all extraordinary... could this possibly be explained by the word "Luck"?
"Han Xuanji... what exactly is his identity?"
Immortal Venerable Yuxuan and Immortal Venerable Yuheng exchanged glances.
The two of them were considered to have had more contact with Han Xuanji and understood him better.
But both saw shock in the other's eyes... On the other side.
Inside the Myriad Phenomena Garden, Han Xuanji, who was sitting in meditation, slowly opened his eyes:
"Having finished refining the heavenly emperor fortune, I have finally achieved a Breakthrough..."
At the same time, he sensed that Lu Fan had achieved the Human Emperor position, and mysteriously, a wave of Luck even descended upon him.
As the Human Emperor's Master, he was also favored by Humanitys Fortune.
Of course, this small amount of Luck was virtually useless to the current Han Xuanji.
