I start by marrying Yunxiao, who's in a vegetative state; I'm invincible in the primor

"This humble Taoist priest is Li Yu!"

Haotian was taken aback; the name sounded familiar.

The next moment, Haotian realized, "The husband of Fairy Yunxiao?"

"yes!"

"The current supreme ruler of humanity?"

"yes!"

"A direct descendant of the Shangqing Sage?"

"yes!"

"The strongest son-in-law of the Jie Sect?!"

Li Yu frowned slightly. "?? Yes!"

Haotian's attitude immediately reversed, and he greeted him with a smile, saying, "So it's Fellow Daoist Li Yu. Greetings, Fellow Daoist."

Li Yu also gave Haotian face, saying, "Greetings, Great Heavenly Venerable."

"Ah! That feels so good!" Haotian pouted upon hearing the title "Great Celestial Venerable," feeling completely refreshed.

"May I ask what brings you here, my friend?"

"The position of the Great Emperor of the North Pole is surely destined for me!"

Upon hearing this, Haotian did not refuse, but weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

The position of the Great Emperor of the North Pole Purple Star is one of the Five Heavenly Emperors of the Heavenly Court, holding a high position and great power, even on par with the Central Heavenly Emperor.

What benefits would I get if I gave it to him?

Seeing Haotian deep in thought, Li Yu smiled calmly, "I am the Ziwei Emperor, and the human race and the Heavenly Court are in a cooperative relationship!"

Haotian frowned. Although the human race was weak, their numbers were enormous. If they could submit to the Heavenly Court, it would be a wonderful thing.

"Fellow Daoist, shouldn't the human race submit to Heaven and call itself its son?" What Haotian wants is not cooperation, but the submission of the human race!

Li Yu smiled calmly, "Does fellow Daoist think that the human race would address the heavens as their sovereign?"

Are you kidding me? Li Yu's goal is to revitalize humanity! Human determination can conquer nature!

In the primordial world, there were three paths: Heaven, Earth, and Humanity. Logically, the three paths should be equal. However, under the suppression and encroachment of the Heavenly Path, the Humanity Path became weak!

To claim sovereignty over Heaven? To submit humanity to the will of Heaven? Dream on!

Haotian shook his head. "You want the position of the Ziwei Emperor just because we have a cooperative relationship?"

Li Yu was not in a hurry. Instead, he looked around and saw that the once glorious Heavenly Court of the Demon Clan was now a scene of devastation and ruins.

"Fellow Daoist, why don't you open your eyes and take a look at this Heavenly Court? Does it really think the position of the Purple Star Emperor is some kind of gold nugget?"

"I am the Great Emperor Ziwei! Humanity and the Heavenly Court are cooperating! Heed my commands, and how much trouble will be saved for you fellow cultivators?"

Haotian fell silent; Li Yu had accurately hit Haotian's sore spot.

Haotian, following the decree of the Dao Ancestor, rebuilt the Heavenly Court, but the major problem was the lack of capable subordinates.

The Six Saints completely ignored them!

The various forces in the primordial world were also intricately intertwined. What could the so-called Lord of Heaven really govern?

Longevity Mountain, Wuzhuang Temple, Zhen Yuanzi? Blood Sea Styx Ancestor? Or the Northern Darkness Kunpeng?

Even the dragons, who had been defeated and retreated to the four seas, paid no heed to the Heavenly Court.

If a cooperative relationship can be established with the human race, even if the human race only obeys the orders of the Ziwei Emperor and not his summons, the Heavenly Court will still look good with hundreds of millions of human beings!

Haotian pondered and hesitated, "I will discuss this with my junior sister. Please wait a moment, fellow Daoist."

Li Yu smiled calmly, "Please!"

Yaochi whispered, "Senior brother, why don't we agree to his proposal? The Heavenly Court has just been established and has nothing. Cooperating with the human race can help us build the framework of the Heavenly Court as soon as possible."

"We're barefoot now, what are we afraid of? Let's get the Heavenly Court running first, and then we'll deal with things gradually!"

Upon hearing this, Haotian nodded, "Indeed! I, Haotian, never imagined I would have the opportunity to become the ruler of the Heavenly Court. Let's establish the Heavenly Court system as soon as possible!"

After a while.

Haotian stepped forward with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, could you be the Ziwei Emperor of the Heavenly Court?"

Li Yu's lips curled into a slight smile, "Unity benefits both sides."

"Next, I have another collaboration to discuss. I wonder if the Great Celestial Venerable would be interested?"

"What?"

"Our Jie Sect is full of talented individuals. If we cooperate with the Heavenly Court, could we obtain the imperial throne?"

Upon hearing this, Haotian's breathing became rapid. If he could cooperate with the Jie Sect, wouldn't he have gained the support of the sage's lineage?

The legitimacy of the Heavenly Court has been greatly enhanced!

Fellow Daoist Li Yu represents the human race, not the Jie Sect!

Haotian was inwardly excited, but he didn't show it. "Only obey orders, not proclamations?"

Li Yu: "?? Isn't the throne of the Great Emperor supposed to be held by equals?"

If Li Yu were the Ziwei Emperor, he would mobilize the human race in the name of the common ruler.

That brat Haotian actually dared to say he was ordering the immortals of the Jie Sect to join forces?

Haotian hesitated, clearly because cooperating with the Jie Sect would have both advantages and disadvantages.

Benefit: The orthodox lineage of the sages is recognized, greatly increasing the legitimacy of the Heavenly Court!

Alas: If a disciple of the Jie Sect obtains the position of Emperor of Heaven, is it still Heaven? Wouldn't it just become a branch of the Jie Sect?

Haotian hesitated, finding it difficult to make a decision.

And just then...

In the northern part of the wilderness, surrounded by mountains, there are countless poisonous insects and miasma.

Suddenly, a voice rang out, "I am Lu Ya, the Golden Crow!"

"With Father Emperor Jun and Uncle Taiyi fallen, the demon race cannot be without a leader for even a day. Today, I, Lu Ya, will inherit the will of my father and uncle!"

"Inherit the Demon Emperor's Palace and become the Great Emperor of the Demon Race!"

"All demons of the world are welcome to come to the Hundred Thousand Mountains. One day, we will rebuild the Heavenly Court and restore the supreme glory of the demon race!"

"By decree of the Demon Emperor, Bai Ze is hereby appointed Demon Emperor, Ji Meng Demon Emperor, and Ying Zhao Demon Emperor!"

"We pay our respects to Your Majesty!"

The demons roared, "Rebuild the Heavenly Court! Rebuild the Heavenly Court! Restore the supreme glory of the demon race!"

Ruins of the Heavenly Court.

Li Yu remained calm. "I didn't expect the West to be so eager, already supporting a false demon court."

It's alright! Li Yu didn't come, and Lu Ya used the Seven Arrows of Nailhead to assassinate Zhao Gongming. If he did come, how could Zhao Gongming's brother-in-law still be assassinated? Wouldn't that mean he had wasted his time traveling?

The time is ripe for Little Golden Crow to ascend the throne and become emperor.

Li Yu said with a half-smile, "Just remnants of the demon race."

Looking at Haotian again, he was already drenched in sweat.

One primordial world, two heavenly courts? What the hell is this?

Haotian Heavenly Court vs. Demon Clan Heavenly Court?

Although the demon race has been defeated and perished, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, and it still has experts under its command such as Bai Ze Demon Saint, Ji Meng, and Gui Che!

Who are Haotian's subordinates?

The implication is that the demon race's Heavenly Court has greatly threatened the legitimacy of the Haotian Heavenly Court!

Haotian desperately needs help and support!

Haotian said urgently, "If the immortals of the Jie Sect are willing to cooperate with the Heavenly Court, they can enjoy the positions of the Eastern Emperor and the Southern Emperor of Longevity. At the same time, the Dou Department, Cai Department, Huo Department, and Lei Department can be placed under the jurisdiction of the Northern Purple Star, the Eastern Emperor, and the Emperor of Longevity."

Good heavens, Haotian has taken out half of the space.

He almost said, "I, Haotian, am willing to share the Heavenly Court with the Jie Sect and rule the primordial world!"

Li Yu smiled calmly, "Excellent!"

Haotian asked eagerly, "Friend, when will you start work?"

"I will now return to invite my fellow disciples."

"Fellow Daoist, please!"

After saying this, Li Yu transformed into a stream of light and returned to Biyou Palace on Jin'ao Island.

Haotian was very anxious, fearing that Lu Ya would lead the demon race back to the Heavenly Court!

As for the promised location? It doesn't matter! As long as we secure our position as the Grand Celestial Venerable, that's a victory!

……

Jin'ao Island, on the coast of the East China Sea.

Biyou Palace.

Li Yu entered the main hall with a cheerful smile, "Father-in-law."

The Grand Master of Heaven nodded. "What is the attitude of that brat, Haotian?"

"Haotian is willing to share the Heavenly Court with our Jie Sect."

Master Tongtian: "???"

Li Yu recounted the cause and effect.

The Tongtian Sect Leader smiled, "Since we share the Heavenly Court, there's no problem with the disciples of the Jie Sect taking over the Heavenly Court."

To not serve as a subject of the Emperor, yet still ascend to the throne—it's an absolute victory!

"My dear son-in-law, how do you think the throne should be divided?"

"Of course, it's up to you, Father-in-law."

The Master of the Heavenly Sect pondered for a moment, then summoned his disciples.

"Duobao can become the Great Emperor Donghua!"

"If you cultivate the way of killing with Geng metal, then go to the Dou Department and become Doumu Yuanjun."

"Go to the Thunder Department and become a Righteous God of the Thunder Department."

"The tortoise spirit cultivates the path of longevity, which is indeed in line with the throne of the Antarctic Longevity Emperor."

"Koumei, you should go to the Ministry of Finance."

"Hmm, there's also the Fire Department." The Tongtian Sect Leader glanced at his disciples.

Who should be chosen?

Chang Er Ding Guang Xian held a significant position in the Jie Sect, being one of the Seven Attendant Immortals!

In the original primordial era, the fact that the Tongtian Sect Leader entrusted the Six Soul Banner, a rare treasure that could turn the tide of battle, to Chang Er is enough to show how much he valued it.

Long-eared Chang Er was naturally eager to participate in the wonderful opportunity to share in the merits of others, and took a step forward.

Li Yu frowned and smiled, "For the last Fire Department, I think Junior Brother Luo Xuan would be very suitable."

Luo Xuan, known as the Immortal of Flames, was skilled in the art of wielding three thousand fire crows. During the Investiture of the Gods, he used his three thousand fire crows to burn the Kunlun Golden Immortal so badly that he was forced to flee in terror. Unfortunately, he was countered and died with resentment.

However, Luo Xuan's three thousand fire crows are now only so-so, and he doesn't even have the title of "Flame Immortal," being merely a nominal disciple of the Jie Sect.

The Tongtian Sect Leader nodded, "Luo Xuan's cultivation of fire is a good fit. Luo Xuan, then go to the Fire Department."

Standing at the back of the disciples, Luo Xuan was stunned and speechless. "Huh? Me?"

Luo Xuan wept; the gears of fate had quietly begun to turn…

"If it weren't for my brother-in-law's recommendation back then, I, Luo Xuan, would still be a nobody. Being a nobody in the Jie Sect isn't so bad..."

"Simply taking over the Fire Department and receiving the title of Immortal of Flames will open up even greater possibilities for me, Luo Xuan!"

"I really want to improve!"

P.S.: Luo Xuan is Yunxiao's junior brother. You can usually call him Li Yu senior brother, but after looking up some information, I think calling him brother-in-law is also okay.
