Honghuang: Three Lights and Stars

Chapter 49 Discussing the Heavenly Court, People Should Prosper

However, before Tongtian could speak, Hongjun said, "Wei Guang should focus on cultivation. The Emperor of Heaven is busy with trivial matters, which may not be a good thing for him."

"But his footing is the origin of the stars, and he can lead the Emperor of the North Pole Ziwei in the sky."

"The new heaven should have six positions of emperors, namely, the Jade Emperor of Haotian, the Emperor of Gouchen, the Emperor of Beiji Ziwei, the Emperor of Dongji Qinghua, and the Emperor of Nanji Changsheng, who will inherit the heaven and follow the example of Hou Tu Huang Di."

"The six emperors jointly govern the heavens, without distinction between superiors and subordinates."

Hearing this, Tongtian immediately swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue and didn't dare to mention it again. At the same time, some doubts arose in his heart.

Was it really because the Emperor of Heaven had too many complicated matters to attend to and was afraid that it would delay Wei Guang's practice that Wei Guang was not allowed to become the Emperor of Heaven?
Tongtian thought otherwise.

The Six Emperors said that there is no distinction between superior and inferior, but there must be a distinction between primary and secondary, otherwise the Heavenly Court would be in chaos. The Jade Emperor, the Supreme Lord of Heaven, should be the master of the Heavenly Court, and the rest can only be assistants.

Since Emperor Ziwei has the responsibility to assist the Emperor of Heaven, how can he be free of trivial matters?
On the contrary, the Supreme Jade Emperor Haotian can just be a hands-off boss, delegate all trivial matters to others, and spend more time on spiritual practice.

Tongtian couldn't help but look at the little boy standing at the bottom of the stairs on his left.

His name is Haotian, and he is one of Hongjun's two boys.

It turned out to be the case.

At that moment, all was clear.

Enforcing the law on behalf of Heaven, who is Heaven?

Isn’t it Hongjun?

To enforce the law on behalf of God, isn't that just enforcing the law on his behalf? How can such authority be given to others?

Although Wei Guang's status is high enough, he is just an outsider after all. Even if he is a variable, such a good thing will not be his turn. Hongjun will not let anyone else become the Emperor of Heaven.

Not only Tongtian understood it, but Laozi and others also understood it, so they did not speak.

Hongjun also guessed what Tongtian and others were thinking, but he did not explain anything. In fact, as long as the status was high enough, he didn't care who became the Emperor of Heaven.

If it were someone else, would they dare to go against his will?
The reason why Wei Guang was not allowed to be the Emperor of Heaven was because he was a variable and should not be among the three paths. Emperor Ziwei only gave him the position temporarily.

As for who will eventually become the Emperor Ziwei, that depends on Wei Guang's future growth.

If Wei Guang is unable to break the shackles and ultimately stops at the perfection of a quasi-saint, then the Emperor Ziwei will be his destination. On the contrary, Wei Guang, who has already transcended, does not need any karma blessing.

"Haotian."

Seeing that the others stopped talking, Hongjun looked at Haotian.

Haotian took a step forward and bowed respectfully. At this time, Haotian still looked like a child with a childlike innocence on his face. He had no idea that a great thing was about to happen to him.

"Would you like to be the Emperor of Heaven?"

"what?"

After hearing Hongjun's words, Tongtian and others secretly thought that it was just as expected, but Haotian was bewildered. He never thought that such a good thing could happen to a boy like him.

Not only Haotian was confused, but Yao Chi on the opposite side was also confused, but the confusion soon turned into envy.

Although the Daoist boy is good, he has too many restrictions. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has no freedom. Being able to leave Zixiao Palace and go to the prehistoric world is a happy event for them, not to mention that they can become the ruler of the three realms second only to the saints.

Haotian reacted quickly. He was stunned for a moment, then bowed and said, "It's up to you, sir."

Haotian did not say he would do it, nor did he say he would not do it, because he was clear about his identity. He was qualified only if the master was willing to give him the title of Emperor of Heaven. If the master was not willing, no matter how much he said, it would be useless.

The master is his greatest support. Otherwise, how can a little boy like him compete with the Three Pure Ones for the position of the Heavenly Emperor?
Hongjun nodded slightly and pointed casually. Haotian, who was originally just a child, suddenly turned into a righteous middle-aged Taoist with a flash of light.

Then, Hongjun flipped his right hand, and a mirror appeared in his hand: "This treasure is given to you to suppress the destiny of the heavenly court and to protect the way."

"Thank you, sir." Haotian bent down, stretched out his hands, and respectfully took the Haotian Mirror.

"Yaochi."

Hearing the master calling, Yao Chi was overjoyed and hurried forward: "Master."

Hongjun pointed his finger, and Yao Chi suddenly transformed from a little girl into a fairy with graceful manners and stunning beauty: "From now on, you will be the Queen Mother and assist Haotian in managing the female fairies in the Heavenly Palace."

"I grant you the innate peach spiritual roots to develop the heavenly court, and the Suyun hairpin to protect the way."

"Thank you, sir." Yao Chi followed suit and took the second treasure.

After finalizing the positions of the Emperor of Heaven and the Queen Mother, Hongjun looked at the Three Pure Ones and the others again: "The witch-lich calamity has passed, and the human race should rise and become the protagonist of the future heaven and earth."

Upon hearing this, Sanqing and others remained calm.

Their cultivation may not be as good as Hongjun's, but they are saints after all, and they can still see the future trend clearly, so they just wait quietly for Hongjun's next words.

Hongjun continued: "When the human race has three sovereigns and five emperors, they need teachers to teach and protect the way."

At this point, Hongjun couldn't help but look at Nuwa: "You are the Holy Mother of the human race, and you have obtained the greatest treasure of the human race. The teacher of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors will be decided by you."

After saying this, Hongjun stopped talking and slowly closed his eyes.

Seeing the passionate looks from the Three Pure Ones and others, Nuwa immediately stated: "Of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, I will choose the Heavenly Emperor, and you can discuss the others on yourselves."

Although Wei Guang said when he gave the treasure that he would repay it when he needed it, Nuwa still asked for the Emperor's teacher for him.

After all, Wei Guang is a variable. Nuwa will not lose anything by using the Emperor's teacher to establish a good relationship with him.

Hearing this, Laozi spoke first: "Xuan Du is the only disciple of mine, so you should be so bold as to ask for a master of the Earth Emperor for him."

After saying this, Laozi stopped talking, and Yuanshi, Tongtian and others had no objections. After all, Laozi was the eldest brother, and it was not too much to ask for a teacher from the Emperor of Earth.

"I want the teacher of the Emperor of Mankind. In addition, three of the teachers of the Five Emperors should belong to my Chan Sect." Yuanshi said shockingly.

Let alone the two saints of the West, even Tongtian had some objections to Yuanshi's words. As the elder brother, Yuanshi had no objection to taking the teacher of the emperor, but what was the matter with taking the teacher of the emperor and the third of the Five Emperors?

This way of eating is a bit too ugly.

But before Tongtian could speak, Zhunti spoke first: "Yuanshi, your eating manner is a bit too ugly, you took four of them by yourself, how should we distribute the remaining two?"

Yuanshi glanced at him and said, "What have my Eastern affairs got to do with your Western affairs?"

Guide: ???
Zhunti: ???
It seems like this guy never intended to let them get involved at all?

"Brother Yuanshi, what you said is wrong. Whether it is the East or the West, they are all in the primitive times. Besides, there are human races in the West."

Jie Yin's words stunned everyone. Yuan Shi asked, "Do you have any human race in the west?"

Jie Yin swore confidently, "Of course, it is in the Wuzhuang Monastery area."

It would have been fine if he didn't explain. Once he explained, Yuanshi became even more confused. When did Wuzhuang Temple become the Western Land? Did he really bully Zhen Yuanzi for not having attained enlightenment?
