Primordial Era: I really don't want to be the Heavenly Emperor!

Chapter 137 Your Majesty, You Are My Second Parent

The main hall fell silent, as the identity of the Dao Ancestor's disciple was not to be underestimated.

The last time Hongjun appeared, it put a lot of pressure on everyone, because they could see that although Hongjun had achieved Dao, he still had a high degree of autonomy.

If Hongjun were to intervene at that time, it would be a devastating blow to them.

As a result, their struggle with the demon race for destiny and domination of the primordial world underwent a significant change.

After pondering for a long time, Houtu slowly said, "I think it's feasible. The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin and Zhunti are an obstacle we can't avoid in our quest to dominate the world. We will have to face them eventually, so why not try their methods this time?"

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

"I also……"

Dijiang waved his hand and said, "Then it's settled. We'll rest and recuperate during this time, adjust our condition, and then strike directly at Mount Ling!"

……

The battles between those at the Purple Mansion Taiyi and Daluo realms have ended. What remains is the battle between those at the Quasi-Saint realms, but it hasn't taken place yet because Donghua is in seclusion.

On this day, the gates of Jingyang Palace opened, and Donghua and Xiwangmu finally emerged from seclusion.

"Brother, after this deduction, the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation has truly matured from Wuji to Bagua, and with the addition of the formation flags, its sustainability has also greatly increased."

Donghua led west Wangmu out of the main hall.

"Yes, this time the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation will surely give all living beings in the prehistoric world a pleasant surprise, and we will truly have a means to protect the Dao."

The two strolled onto the blue sea, where they saw nine enormous turtles carrying golden tablets on their backs. The tablets emitted light, illuminating all directions.

Donghua looked at the golden stele engraved with the top ten of the Great Luo, and was quite surprised after seeing the list.

"I didn't expect Ran Deng to be ranked eighth!"

The Queen Mother of the West said softly, "They are, after all, guests of the Purple Cloud Palace, and now possess a late-stage Great Luo cultivation level, as well as a top-grade innate spiritual treasure and a high-grade innate spiritual treasure. Isn't it normal for them to achieve a ranking?"

Upon careful consideration, Donghua realized it made sense. After all, Randeng's collection of spiritual treasures was indeed quite formidable, so it was only natural that he achieved such a ranking.

In this grand competition, among the top ten of the Great Luo, there is one giant, who is still the number one in the Great Luo; one dragon; one phoenix; one iron-eating beast; one fighter; one thunder; three from the Thirty-Five Divisions; and one Qianyu, the commander of the Donghua Imperial Guard.

Qianyu ranked tenth on the list this time. Donghua was extremely surprised that he could achieve such a ranking. After all, when they first met, that guy was only at the early stage of the Great Luo realm. Now, he was able to stand out among so many Great Luo realm cultivators in the Purple Mansion realm. It was truly unbelievable.

On the Taiyi Ranking, Donghua saw Qingxuan, Yuanzhen, Jinfeng, Gouchen, Ao Guang, and others.

At this moment, many Great Luo Quasi-Saints from the Purple Mansion also came over; they had all sensed Donghua's emergence from seclusion.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"No need for formalities! I've seen the list, and you've done a great job."

Donghua looked at everyone, laughed heartily, and then said, "If I hadn't experienced this competition, I wouldn't have known that Zifu had so many talented people. It's my honor to join the Zifu family because you trust me."

"The Purple Mansion is like a big family for people born after birth, and each of you is a part of it. No matter your social status, as long as you are devoted to the Purple Mansion, I will always regard you as brothers and treat you all equally."

"It is our honor to join the Purple Palace and follow such a magnificent and benevolent ruler as His Majesty."

Emperor Taiyuan stepped forward and immediately offered flattery. After speaking, he secretly glanced at Randeng in the crowd, his eyes full of provocation.

Ran Deng seemed not to have seen it at all; his expression was sullen, showing no sign of the glory or excitement of achieving a top-ten ranking.

Seeing this, Donghua asked, "Randeng, why do you look like that? Eighth in the Great Luo realm, that's quite an achievement. I should congratulate you!"

When Randeng heard Donghua's call, he walked out and then burst into tears, though the sobs were very soft.

"Your Majesty imparted to me the techniques and supernatural powers, and guided my cultivation. To me, you are like my own parents. But I have failed to live up to your trust and only achieved eighth place."

Her voice was plaintive and heart-wrenching, moving everyone who heard it, even Donghua was momentarily touched by compassion.

He stepped forward and patted Ran Deng on the shoulder, saying comfortingly, "It's alright, it's alright. This result is already very good. You should know that you are only at the late stage of the Great Luo Realm. There is still a lot of room for improvement. You just need to work hard in your cultivation."

"Yes, yes, yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely work hard in my cultivation from now on and live up to the trust and cultivation you have placed in me!" Ran Deng said while wiping away his tears.

Upon witnessing this scene, Emperor Taiyuan felt no emotion, only rage, and in his heart he cried out, "Old thief, that old thief Randeng!"

He was the referee in Ran Deng's final battle, and he knew very well Ran Deng's face after his victory. He was grinning from ear to ear for three days straight, telling everyone he met, "How did you know I was Ronaldo, the eighth-ranked player!"

This little episode passed quickly!

But when Donghua saw Qianyu, he frowned, but ultimately said nothing.

"After the Quasi-Saint Grand Competition concludes, I will personally distribute the rewards to you all and bestow upon you the badges used in the competition. These badges contain a trace of my remaining aura, enabling you to unleash a Great Luo strike."

"For a Grand Luo Immortal, it is merely an honor, but for those below the Grand Luo level, it is a protective charm that can save your lives in critical moments."

Upon hearing this, everyone, from the Great Luo Golden Immortals to those below, was deeply moved, for this was an emblem personally crafted by His Majesty.

Its last purpose is to save one's life; in ordinary times, it is a symbol of honor and status. As long as the Purple Mansion exists, the use of this badge is limitless.

After Donghua finished speaking, he saw the expressions on everyone's faces and was secretly overjoyed, thinking to himself, "I refuse to believe that after this series of moves, you won't be willing to risk your lives for me!"

Don't be fooled by Donghua's apparent indifference to the affairs of the Purple Mansion. Those things are unimportant. In this world where power belongs to oneself, what people value most is whether something can bring benefits.

Now, Donghua has first doubled the treatment of those on the list, then personally presented the awards, and then bestowed honors upon them. This is the real benefit and advantage.

It's important to understand that honor isn't just something that people of later generations value; people in the primordial world valued it more than anyone else. After all, they were immortal gods who couldn't age or die, and on their long journey of seeking enlightenment, they cared a little more about their face, reputation, and honor.

Just like the eighth-ranked achievement of the Great Luo of Burning Lamp, it doesn't only have an effect in the Purple Mansion. Once it spreads, everyone who sees it when they travel on the prehistoric continent will praise and extol it.

Of course, in the primordial world, in addition to the connection of interests, there is also the connection of the Great Dao and aspirations, just like Donghua and Fuxi, Longbo and others.

Different people have different methods!

"I hereby declare the Grand Competition for Quasi-Saints of the Purple Mansion Begins!"

……

P.S.: I received all the blessings from my brothers, I'm so happy (ノ^o^)ノ
