Rewriting the Gods

At the foot of Zhonghuang Mountain, Master Taiyi waited somewhat anxiously.

To be honest, since becoming a disciple of the master and a disciple of the sage, Taiyi Zhenren has rarely felt this way. The status of being a disciple of the sage is enough to solve most of the problems in the prehistoric world.

Moreover, Taiyi Zhenren himself is quite powerful, and he can go anywhere in the Three Realms!

But this place is different. In the Three Realms, other places are fine, but without a sage in charge, few can do anything to me.

But not here. There's Zhonghuang Mountain and Huoyun Cave. Anyone who dares to cause trouble here is asking for trouble.

If it weren't for the fact that he had been talking about his disciple for a thousand years, to the point that this disciple had almost become his obsession, Master Taiyi wouldn't have dared to come here to ask for him back.

Just as Taiyi Zhenren was feeling uneasy, ripples suddenly appeared in the void, and a circular portal appeared in the void, from which pure spiritual energy rushed out.

Upon seeing this, the two were immediately invigorated.

Immediately afterward, under the watchful eyes of the two, a young man clad in black armor, exuding a powerful aura, stepped through the air. The young man had a handsome face, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and stood upright, like a long spear that stood tall and firm, radiating a faint but powerful pressure.

Taiyi Zhenren and Yuding Zhenren exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

Peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal!

Could this be Nezha?
Could it be that the true spirit from a past life has already awakened?
Taiyi Zhenren was somewhat unsure. After a moment of contemplation, he tentatively asked, "Could it be Fellow Daoist Lingzhuzi?"

“Lingzhuzi has already reincarnated. I am now Nezha, Li Nezha of the human race.”

Nezha looked at the two people in front of him and spoke calmly.

These words undoubtedly acknowledged that Lingzhuzi's true spirit had awakened, leaving Taiyi Zhenren at a loss for what to do.

If it were Nezha, that would be fine, but Lingzhuzi was a fellow Daoist of their generation, and his seniority was not necessarily lower than theirs.

I'm afraid I'm not qualified to be Lingzhu's disciple.

What should we do now?

Taiyi Zhenren cast a pleading look at Yuding Zhenren, who shook his head slightly. In the current situation, Yuding Zhenren also did not know what to do.

Just then, Nezha suddenly spoke up: "In the past, the Goddess and the Primordial Sage made an agreement. Although there have been twists and turns between the two families, Nezha would never dare to violate the Sage's agreement."

Upon hearing this, a hint of joy appeared on Taiyi Zhenren's face. He had come for the sake of his disciple, and it would be best if he could take on a disciple.

But this hint of joy quickly turned into worry. They did have a disciple, but his cultivation had already reached the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and he had even regained his true spirit. Lingzhuzi used to be a member of Nuwa's Palace and had listened to Nuwa's teachings many times.

Such a person may have had their cultivation delayed due to retraining, and their level of cultivation is much lower than mine, but their knowledge is no less than mine.

Besides, Nezha has been cultivating by that person's side for the past thousand years. That person is not a saint. Nezha now probably combines the strengths of both, and his knowledge may even surpass his own.

What else can I teach this disciple?

There's nothing more they can teach!

How can this be done?

Before Taiyi Zhenren could come up with a solution, Nezha's voice came again from the side, "But as you two have seen, I now have the cultivation of a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal. I have fully comprehended the laws and am currently comprehending the Great Dao. I have also made some progress on the Great Dao."

"My cultivation is far inferior to the two of you, but it's not bad either. I wonder what Fellow Daoist Taiyi has to teach me?"

Nezha, clad in black armor, calmly gazed at Taiyi Zhenren.

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Taiyi Zhenren's face, but since Nezha had already asked, Taiyi Zhenren couldn't very well refuse to answer, so he forced himself to say:
"The sect possesses the Jade Purity Immortal Technique passed down by our master. This is the orthodox method of the sages, profound and boundless. If one cultivates to the peak, one may be able to glimpse the secrets of the sages!"

Nezha shook his head and said, "The methods of the sages can only be cultivated to their peak by the sage who created the methods. It is impossible for others to cultivate to their peak."

"Moreover, I have already cultivated the Taiqing Immortal Technique within my clan, and in terms of its profoundness, it is no less than the Yuqing Immortal Technique."

Upon hearing this, Taiyi Zhenren revealed a wry smile. The Taiqing Immortal Technique was naturally no worse than the Yuqing Immortal Technique. Both were techniques of sages, and he couldn't say for sure which was superior. However, if only cultivation level was considered, his master's Taiqing Immortal Technique was probably even more profound.

Taiyi Zhenren shook his head and spoke again: "The sect has thirty-six kinds of Taoist qi, the Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques, and the Thirty-Six Heavenly Divine Powers."

"Among the Taiqing Immortal Techniques, there are also many Taoist Qi, which are extremely mysterious and profound. I have also practiced them. As for the Eight-Nine Profound Techniques, according to the legends of the Eastern Divine Continent, it is a body-refining method derived from the Nine Revolutions Profound Techniques of the Witch Clan."

“My clan also has the Nine Tribulations Martial Scripture, which is derived from the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique of the Witch Clan. In terms of body training ability, it is even superior to the Eight-Nine Profound Technique. I have also practiced this profound technique.”

"As for the Thirty-Six Heavenly Divine Powers, all three schools of Xuanmen have inherited them."

Upon hearing this, Master Taiyi sighed inwardly and said with a wry smile, "With the combined heritage of the two sects, Fellow Daoist's foundation is profound, in no way inferior to my Chan Sect. I'm afraid I can no longer teach Fellow Daoist."

"How about we end this master-disciple relationship here?"

Upon hearing this, Nezha remained calm. Over the past thousand years, Nezha had cultivated with his three fellow Daoists. From childhood to adulthood, the three Daoists had taught him meticulously and had never shown any impatience.

He never held any prejudice against him because he had not become a disciple of Senior Haofeng. He received the same treatment as Brother Lei Zhenzi!
I was a mischievous child and did countless naughty things, some of which were even worse than in my previous life in the Nuwa Palace, but my two fellow Daoists, Xuanfeng and Baiyun, never blamed me.

Whenever something goes wrong, the two fellow Daoists will always step in to clean up the mess first, and then come back to explain the consequences to me slowly, stating the reasons why I cannot do it this way, and that I should do it this way, and that I must be careful in the future.

The two Daoist brothers never punished him without teaching him. Even when he made the same mistake twice, the two Daoist brothers remained patient as always. Over time, Nezha gradually matured.

After reaching adulthood, he will first study at the Kongtong Academy, and then return to the Taixuan Palace to cultivate a hundred years later. Nezha himself is the reincarnation of the Spirit Pearl, so his talent is naturally beyond question.

As time went by, the power of the Spirit Pearl was gradually unsealed, and Nezha's cultivation level began to rise rapidly. It took about eight hundred years for him to condense the Three Flowers on his head and attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal status. At this point, the true spirit of the Spirit Pearl was revived.

Nezha also learned the whole story.

This is a general overview of Nezha's situation over the past thousand years. The true spirit of the Spirit Pearl did not affect Nezha. Once he entered the cycle of reincarnation, his previous life became nothing. Nezha is Nezha. Even if he awakened his true spirit, he would still remain the same. It cannot be said that there was no influence at all, but the influence was indeed not significant.

The Nezha of today has been completely transformed and is no longer the one of the three traitors of Heaven in Jiang Haofeng's mind. Of course, Nezha's indomitable spirit and his belief in defying heaven and earth are still there.

However, being a human, this belief had no opportunity to be expressed. Upon hearing this, Nezha shook his head and said, "Lingzhu is unruly and has failed the teachings of the Goddess. Since the master-disciple relationship was established by the Goddess, I, Nezha, naturally cannot go back on my word."

"I'll take this master as my disciple!"

Upon hearing this, Taiyi Zhenren's bitter smile deepened. "But I have nothing left to teach you. My master has also left the Three Realms and will not accept you as a disciple."

"You don't need to teach me."

"My main reason for becoming an apprentice is to fulfill the promise I made to the Empress."

Master Taiyi was slightly taken aback. "Fellow Daoist, do you mean to only become a disciple but not learn any skills?"

“Yes!” Nezha nodded.

Taiyi Zhenren and Yuding Zhenren exchanged a glance. What does it mean that they only became disciples but did not learn any skills?

But it seems that this is the only way to do it. After all, this is an agreement set by the sage. Even if it's to save face for the sage, we still have to accept this disciple.

Thinking of this, a look of joy flashed in Taiyi Zhenren's eyes. Gaining a third-generation disciple at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal for free was a huge win for the sect.

Currently, among the three generations of disciples in the sect, there is no one who can lead the way. Even Wei Hu, who has the highest cultivation level, is only at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. The current Chan Sect is in a state of transition, with a lack of capable successors.

If there is a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal among the third-generation disciples, that would be enough to hold their own.

"I am willing to become your disciple, but I have one request that I hope you two fellow Daoists will agree to."

Taiyi Zhenren sighed inwardly. Sure enough, things weren't that simple. "Please speak!"

A glint of light flashed in Nezha's eyes, and he said, "I want the divine position of the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas!"

Upon hearing this, Taiyi Zhenren instinctively wanted to refuse. This was the second most important divine position in the Heavenly Court of the Chan Sect, second only to the Antarctic Longevity Emperor and even above the Southern Mountain Emperor. It was one of the three most important divine positions of the Chan Sect in the Heavenly Court.

However, before Taiyi Zhenren could speak, Nezha continued, "I have also heard of the fourteen main gods of the Heavenly Court. Apart from the Three Altars Sea Assembly God and the Southern Mountain Emperor, the remaining twelve main gods are at least at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm."

"Among the three religions and one clan, only the Chan Sect has such a low level of cultivation in its main god."

"That Wei Hu was only at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. A thousand years ago, when he was fighting against the demon race, he was captured alive on the battlefield by the demon god. If it weren't for the intervention of the True Martial Emperor, Wei Hu would probably have become the first second-rank celestial god to fall on the battlefield against the demons."

Upon hearing this, Taiyi Zhenren and Yuding Zhenren's faces immediately darkened. They wanted to refute it but had nothing to say, because what Nezha said was true.

The Three Altars Sea Gathering Gods are the vanguard under the Great Marshal of Subduing Demons, and are considered heavenly soldiers and generals directly under Haotian. When the True Martial Emperor goes on an expedition, the Three Altars Sea Gathering Gods will naturally accompany him, and they are the core members of the army.

However, this direct descendant wasn't strong enough, and ended up making a fool of himself. It was only thanks to the intervention of the True Martial Emperor that he was brought back, which became a laughing stock for the entire Heavenly Court.

In fact, in the original Heavenly Court, the strength of a Taiyi Golden Immortal was not weak. Nezha in the original timeline was a peak Taiyi Golden Immortal, but because of his lotus incarnation, his abilities far surpassed those of ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortals.

In the original Heavenly Court, Wei Hu could have held his own, but now, due to the involvement of the human race, the quality of the Heavenly Court's immortals and gods has greatly improved, and Wei Hu, a Taiyi Golden Immortal, is no longer enough.

"As for Emperor Tu Xingsun of the Southern Peak, needless to say, his cultivation level is only on par with the heavenly soldiers under the command of the Ziwei Heavenly Palace."

"The position of a second-rank main god is indeed important, but it probably won't be of much use if it remains in the hands of such people."

"Leaving aside other matters, entrusting this divine position to me will at least ensure that the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas is not just an empty shell. I have joined the Chan Sect, so I am also considered a member of the Chan Sect. If I had to choose between the human race and the members of the Chan Sect, I would naturally choose the human race."

"But if we have to choose between the Chan Sect and other forces, then the Chan Sect will naturally come first."

After a pause, Nezha began again: "A thousand years have passed since the Investiture of the Gods, and the ancient events are long gone. In the present Three Realms, the human race is at its most prosperous."

"The second generation of immortals of the Chan Sect have all gone into seclusion, and the Antarctic Immortal rarely participates in the affairs of the Heavenly Court. It is clear that the Chan Sect does not want to be enemies with the human race at present. In that case, I have no worries about giving me this divine position."

"This is a matter of great importance. You two can return to the mountain and discuss it with the senior cultivators of the Chan Sect. If you agree, you can send a message to me, and I will ascend to heaven immediately!"

Everything that needed to be said had been said. Taiyi and Yuding exchanged a glance, then nodded and said, "Alright, we'll go back and discuss it. We'll let you know when we have a result."

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, Nezha smiled and nodded immediately.

After watching the two leave, Nezha returned to Zhonghuang Mountain. Seeing that Ancestor Zhisheng had no intention of summoning him, Nezha returned to Taixuan Palace.

As the Ancestor Zhisheng is in charge of the Yin-Yang Micro Dust Array and the Nine Provinces Array, it's impossible for him to keep what happened at the gate a secret. Since the Ancestor hasn't summoned us, we'll just do what we want.

Back at Tai Xuan Palace, a bolt of lightning flashed through the void, and a valiant man with a resolute face and wings on his back appeared before Nezha. The man's aura was extremely powerful, and Nezha, a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal, suddenly appeared somewhat weak in front of him.

If this were seen by outsiders, it would surely cause a huge uproar in the Three Realms!

Nezha is at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm; if he takes another step forward, he will become a Quasi-Saint.

Currently, with no primordial saints emerging, quasi-saints are the top powers in the primordial world, and each quasi-saint can influence the situation.

The number of quasi-saints among the human race is known to almost all the immortals in the prehistoric world; there are nine in total, four of whom are in the Heavenly Court: Emperor Ziwei Suiren, Emperor Gouchen Zhu Xiang, Grand Marshal Fumo Shaodian, and Fire Virtue Star Lord Nüba.

Cangjie lived in seclusion in Huoyun Cave, Zhisheng was stationed at Zhonghuang Mountain, Dachao was stationed at Taihao City, and Haoying lived in seclusion at Zhonghuang Mountain.

Xuandu was the last to hunt down Lu Ya. Lu Ya had tried to stop the Heavenly Court from launching a military campaign by slaughtering humans. Although he was stopped, he had indeed offended the entire human race.

The era of the Lich Wars is long gone. Back then, the demon race was powerful, and the human race could only swallow their anger and endure it. But now, as the largest race in the prehistoric world, how could the human race tolerate the demon race?

After the great battle between the sages, Xuandu went down the mountain to hunt down Lu Ya. Xuandu also contributed to the success of the two emperors' campaign against the demon.

Currently, apart from the nine Quasi-Saints well-known to the immortals, there is actually a tenth Quasi-Saint among the human race. If outsiders knew this, it would be enough to shock the entire prehistoric world!
