Primordial Era: Unparalleled Comprehension, Starting from Becoming a Disciple of the Three Immortals

Chapter 126 The position of Heavenly Emperor is established, the overlord of heaven and earth.

No one answered the question posed by Hongjun Daozu.

Those who survive great calamities are all shrewd and calculating; who among us hasn't been the subject of some schemes and machinations?

All the powerful figures present had lived for countless years, and they were already extremely familiar with such scheming and plotting.

They were well aware that if they spoke up at this moment, they would surely be targeted. Don't forget, the former leader of the male immortals, Dongwanggong, was killed by Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi.

If everyone were to stand up and declare themselves Heavenly Emperor at this moment, there's no guarantee that those with ulterior motives wouldn't kill them.

The final step is to wait until Dao Ancestor Hongjun asks the question.

Hongjun Daozu waited for a while, and seeing that no one spoke, he looked at Taishang Laozi.

"Your Majesty, please speak first. Do you have someone you fancy?"

Upon hearing this, Laozi shook his head, indicating that he had no one to choose from.

He only has one disciple. If this disciple were to become the Heavenly Emperor, what would happen to his lineage?

"Teacher, I don't have a suitable candidate. Perhaps I should ask my fellow disciples."

When Yuanshi Tianzun saw that Taishang Laozi said there was no suitable candidate, he immediately spoke up and suggested a candidate.

"Master, my two most accomplished disciples, Guang Chengzi and Chen Qing, possess great fortune and virtue, and are destined to become Heavenly Emperors."

After Yuanshi Tianzun finished speaking, Nuwa immediately spoke up.

"Teacher, Lu Ya, the son of the former Heavenly Emperor Di Jun of my demon race, is capable of becoming the Heavenly Emperor."

Jieyin remained silent, but the sage Zhunti spoke.

"Master, my disciple, the Medicine Master, possesses great merit and blessings, and could become the Heavenly Emperor."

Yuanshi Tianzun, Nuwa, and Zhunti all revealed their candidates, but Tongtian Jiaozhu did not.

At this moment, all the powerful beings looked at the saints with deep thoughts, secretly glad that they hadn't spoken. If they had, the saints would have remembered them, and they could have easily plotted against them and killed them.

Hongjun Daozu looked at Tongtian Jiaozhu, a look of doubt in his eyes.

"Tongtian, do you have anyone to recommend?"

The Tongtian Sect Leader hesitated upon hearing the Dao Ancestor's question.

"Master, among my disciples, only Duobao is capable, but I have no suitable candidate to recommend."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing already knew what everyone was thinking, but he chose not to say anything and instead decided to observe how things would develop.

Hongjun Daozu glanced at everyone, then shook his head helplessly.

"The disciples of sages cannot be called the Heavenly Emperors. The Heavenly Emperors are in charge of Heaven and Earth and govern the Three Realms. They must be fair, just, and without selfishness."

After saying this, Hongjun Daozu looked at Haotian Tongzi and Yaochi Tongnu beside him.

"In the future, the Jade Heaven Child will be Heaven and Earth, and the Jade Pool Maiden will be the Heavenly Empress."

After Hongjun Daozu finished speaking, he glanced at everyone and then fell silent.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Haotian Tongzi. Although he was a child, he possessed the strength of a quasi-saint. However, was it appropriate to make him the Heavenly Emperor?

At this moment, everyone fell into deep thought, looking at Haotian Tongzi, still hesitating whether to support him in becoming the new Heavenly Emperor.

None of the saints voiced their support for making Haotian the new Heavenly Emperor of the Primordial World, and the great supernatural beings also remained silent. Under such circumstances, someone had to step forward to break the deadlock.

"Dao Ancestor, I think Haotian can be the new Heavenly Emperor, and Yaochi can be the new Heavenly Empress. They can manage all the affairs of the Heavenly Court."

Chen Qing's words immediately drew the attention of all the saints, who were puzzled as to why he would mention Haotian Tongzi and Yaochi Tongnu.

Everyone looked at Hongjun Daozu. Although Hongjun Daozu had no expression, Haotian Tongzi and Yaochi Tongnu were his attendants. Now that someone agreed, they naturally followed suit.

Haotian was overjoyed, but he did not show it on his face. After all, although Hongjun Daozu said that he would appoint the two as the Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress, he did not issue a decree. As a result, everything was subject to change.

At this moment, having someone to support them is naturally the best thing for the two of them.

"Teacher, I also believe that Haotian Tongzi and Yaochi Tongnu can become the new Heavenly Emperor."

"Dao Ancestor, we share the same opinion."

Everyone agreed that Haotian Tongzi and Yaochi Tongnu would be the Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress.

Hongjun Daozu had always intended for Haotian and Yaochi to become the Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress. Now that everyone agreed, he nodded in satisfaction.

"Since you all believe that Haotian should be the Heavenly Emperor, then let Haotian be the Heavenly Emperor and Yaochi be the Empress."

"Haotian, Yaochi, you two come forward."

Upon hearing this, Haotian Tongzi and Yaochi Tongnu walked up to Hongjun Daozu.

"master."

Hongjun Daozu looked at the two of them and shot out a stream of magical power that entered their bodies.

In the blink of an eye, their appearances changed drastically.

Haotian transformed into a man in his thirties, with a resolute expression and an aura of dominance.

He was dressed in a nine-dragon imperial robe, wearing a crown that pointed upwards, and golden dragon boots.

Yaochi had also changed drastically, transforming into a middle-aged woman in her thirties with an air of nobility.

She wore a nine-phoenix robe, a gold and jade hairpin in her hair, and colorful phoenix boots on her feet.

The saints looked at the two of them, but none of them spoke.

At this moment, Dao Ancestor Hongjun appointed the Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress, and everyone agreed.

There's no other way. If you disagree, just say so and try to refute it.

Don't forget, this is Hongjun Daozu, who is one with the Heavenly Dao. In the primordial world, he is the representative of the Heavenly Dao, and no one dares to oppose him.

"Haotian Tong'er, Yaochi Tong'er, the future stability of the Heavenly Court will be entrusted to you two. You will become the Haotian Emperor and the Yaochi Queen Mother."

"Haotian, I bestow upon you the Haotian Mirror, the Heavenly Emperor Sword, and the Heavenly Emperor Seal."

"Jade Pool, I bestow upon you a peach tree, a hairpin that divides the heavens, and a plain-colored cloud banner."

"From now on, as the Heavenly Emperor and Empress, you should prioritize the well-being of all living beings in the primordial world and refrain from acting recklessly."

Upon hearing this, Haotian and Yaochi immediately knelt down.

"Master, we will keep your decree in mind and will always put the well-being of all living beings in the world first."

"However, sir, we are new to the Heavenly Court and lack manpower. Could we ask a few sages for help?"

After hearing these words, Hongjun Daozu looked at the group of saints.

None of the saints spoke; they all remained silent.

"Grandmaster, our Jie Sect has many disciples, so it is possible to send some of them to serve as officials in the Heavenly Court."

"However, with the Heavenly Court newly established, can Haotian alone suppress the Three Realms?"

After listening to Chen Qing's words, the Tongtian Sect Leader looked at Hongjun Daozu and nodded.

"Master, I have many disciples, so it is possible to send some of them to the Heavenly Court to assist Haotian."

Upon hearing this, Hongjun Daozu nodded in agreement.

"Can."

The Tongtian Sect Leader looked at Haotian and slowly spoke.

"Haotian, after we return this time, I will send my disciples to the Heavenly Court to assist you."

Haotian smiled and nodded upon hearing this.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Tongtian. If it weren't for your support, I would have had a hard time dealing with this on my own."

Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader nodded and smiled.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun glanced at the assembled saints and powerful beings, then slowly spoke.

"The Lich and Demon races have declined and are no longer suitable to be the overlords of heaven and earth. A new race should be chosen to be the overlord of heaven and earth. You may discuss this among yourselves."

The crowd listened to Hongjun Daozu's words without changing their expressions, but they were making many calculations in their hearts.
