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

Chapter 189 A Letter to All Living Beings of the Primordial World

The emergence of the Demon Realm provided Donghua and his companions with a feast, but for the beings of the primordial world, it was nothing short of adding insult to injury.

First came the tribulation of lightning, then the inner demons!

"Can this path still be repaired?"

This was the thought in the hearts of almost all the primordial beings, but no matter how unwilling or resentful they were, it was ultimately useless; no one could change what had already been decided.

However, this is also a manifestation of the perfection and maturity of the Way of Heaven. After all, Heaven and Earth provide for all living beings, but very few living beings can give back to Heaven and Earth.

If this continues for too long, no matter how powerful or magnificent the primordial world is, it will inevitably perish and return to chaos.

Therefore, whether it is a great calamity or a heavenly punishment, it is just a means.

Moreover, cultivation is a path that defies the heavens. Some setbacks are nothing to worry about. Those who are truly devoted to the Great Dao will not fall before heavenly tribulations and demonic tribulations.

After returning from the Chaos, Donghua has been in seclusion, not for cultivation, but to nurture the embryo of the spiritual treasure with the power of his own Dao principles.

For a true spiritual treasure to grow, this is an essential step. In fact, the Four Swords of Zhuxian are also spiritual treasure embryos. Theoretically speaking, the four swords also have the potential to become supreme treasures.

Unfortunately, Luo Hou died too early, or rather, the first war between immortals and demons broke out too quickly, and the Four Swords of Zhuxian were not properly nurtured. If Luo Hou had nurtured the Four Swords of Zhuxian to this day, they would definitely be no less than supreme treasures.

This refers to the power of the four swords of Zhuxian themselves, not the Zhuxian sword formation they form.

Therefore, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is merely a compensatory measure for the premature birth of an embryo that was not properly developed.

The four swords would not be nurtured and upgraded in Tongtian's hands. It's not that Tongtian is inferior to Luohou, but that Tongtian is not suitable. The embryonic form of a spiritual treasure mainly relies on human nurturing and improvement, rather than the nurturing of the Great Dao and the Heavenly Dao.

The owner of the Four Swords of Zhuxian has always been Luo Hou, just like the spiritual treasure embryo in Donghua's hands. Once it is conceived, its owner can only be Donghua.

Even if it falls into the hands of someone else in the future, it will not be upgraded and will remain in its original state.

This is what makes the Lingbao embryo special!

Donghua immersed his Great Dao and Primordial Spirit in the Spirit Treasure, slowly resonating with it. This process continued and was the most basic approach. Once he had complete control over the Spirit Treasure, he would need to use the power of the Emperor's Dao to evolve it.

This evolutionary process may be a long process measured in epochs.

……

"Your Majesty, the Immortal Lord Ran Deng requests an audience!"

"Let him in!"

Donghua was quite surprised when he thought of Randeng, because he hadn't seen Randeng for a long time. The other party was either dealing with Wanbaoge's affairs or in seclusion for cultivation, and hadn't come to see him for a long time.

This was something that would have been impossible before. Randeng would show up in front of him whenever he had nothing to do, but it seems that he went silent after Taiyuan proposed the "Taiwei Era".

"Looks like we'll have to promise little Ran Deng something!"

After all, competition is competition, but we can't let it kill off enthusiasm. Otherwise, where would we find such capable employees? We couldn't find them even if we carried a lantern.

Just as Donghua Laolu was making empty promises, Randeng walked in.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"No need for formalities. We are both from Zixiao Palace, so there's no need to be so distant in private. Come, have a seat!"

As soon as Randeng finished his greetings, Donghua became very polite and even poured him a cup of Da Hong Pao tea. Randeng was flattered and took it to heart, behaving very respectfully.

Indeed, the current Randeng is better. At least he's not as cunning as he will be later. Although he is scheming, that's nothing. Who in the prehistoric world doesn't have a little scheming?

"Your Majesty, please don't do this. Ran Deng's strength is shallow, and he is unable to share Your Majesty's burdens. I am truly ashamed!"

Donghua chuckled and said, "What are you saying? You've already taken on a lot for me by managing Wanbaoge so well. As for cultivation, that can be done slowly, there's no rush."

"Moreover, when I, Donghua, make friends with people, I never look at their cultivation level or background, but only at their character and ability."

Ran Deng said with great excitement, "I am willing to serve Your Majesty with my life!"

Donghua smiled and said, "It doesn't have to be that bad!"

"Come, have some tea!"

"You are currently at the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and you should be about to break through to the peak. After you break through to the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, I will give you an opportunity that will allow you to quickly break through to the Quasi-Saint realm, and it will also be of great help to your future cultivation. At that time, based on your merits, the position of an Emperor is a sure thing."

As if he had anticipated this day, Ran Deng couldn't help but laugh. Only then did he realize that he was in front of Dong Hua, and he took a sip of tea, feeling embarrassed.

Seeing that the atmosphere was right, Donghua asked, "Is there anything important you need to do here? Or is there anything I can help you with? Please feel free to ask!"

After listening, Ran Deng immediately put down his teacup, stood up, took out a golden scroll, and respectfully handed it to Dong Hua.

"Your Majesty, our Purple Palace is about to conquer the world and sweep away all enemies. However, there are still fools who will rebel because they do not know Your Majesty's intentions and what kind of prosperous world of cultivation Your Majesty wants to build for all living beings."

"By sheer boldness, I have written down His Majesty's teachings and composed this proclamation to let all beings know His Majesty's intentions: Our Purple Palace's military expedition is for the sake of all beings, not for personal gain!"

Donghua took the golden book and began to read it. The more he read, the more alarmed he became, and the happier he was.

The very first thing the story says is about Donghua's background and identity, and there is no fabrication in this regard; it is very authentic.

"Donghua, also known as the Eastern Wood Duke or the Eastern King, is the head of the male immortals, a direct disciple of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and the Eastern Emperor of the Purple Mansion..."

After the opening chapter, the chapter "Establishing a Heart for Heaven and Earth" begins. This chapter recounts the conflicts from the beginning of the primordial world to the present day, proposing that heaven and earth are without heart and without order. Only the Purple Mansion of the Eastern Flower can establish a heart for heaven and earth and create a prosperous world for all beings to cultivate!

The following two articles discuss the theories that Donghua once proposed in the Purple Mansion, explaining Donghua's theories from multiple aspects such as virtue, merit, character, ability, and cultivation.

"People are not distinguished by their innate qualities or acquired traits!"

"Virtue and spiritual practice are equally important!"

"I want to be someone who contributes to the primordial world!"

……

After Donghua finished reading it, he himself found it hard to believe, because it was so shocking. It was hard to believe that this was written by a Great Immortal from the Primordial Era. You could say you were a modern person and I would believe it.

Moreover, at the end of the golden book, there is a declaration addressed to all living beings in the primordial world, explaining the legitimacy and necessity of the Purple Mansion's military expedition and the orthodoxy of the Eastern Flower!

"This book is worth ten Quasi-Saints; the Immortal Lord Burning Lamp is truly a genius!"

Donghua was generous with his praise, because this declaration truly deserved such praise. The golden book was only three thousand words long, and the declaration was only eight hundred words long, but in Donghua's eyes, these three thousand eight hundred words were comparable to those of ten quasi-saints.

With this golden book and declaration, the journey of the Purple Mansion will be shortened by half, and more like-minded people will surely join in. Some races that dislike war will also join in, which will not only increase the strength of the Purple Mansion but also reduce the number of enemies.

Most importantly, everything stated in this golden book and declaration is something that Donghua wholeheartedly endorses, and this is also his imperial way.

If, during the conquest of the world, any race that does not recognize the declaration, then they are naturally irreconcilable enemies and not within the scope of Zifu's restraint.

This declaration will surely shock the world and quickly create a situation where people take sides. This will also be a way for the Purple Mansion to win without fighting.

"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. I am unworthy of such praise. It is my honor to be able to share Your Majesty's burdens."

The corners of Ran Deng's mouth couldn't help but turn up, but he still suppressed his joy and tried to keep his mind calm, after all, this joy could only be enjoyed by himself.

"What's rightfully yours is rightfully yours; don't refuse. You've done such a thing, what reward do you want?"

For an emperor, the most important thing is to be clear about rewards and punishments; otherwise, it will be difficult to go far!

Ran Deng said solemnly, "Your Majesty, please do not do this. I wrote the declaration using Your Majesty's name and ideals. How can I take credit for it? This is Your Majesty's divine authority, and has nothing to do with Ran Deng."

"It is only because I have been following Your Majesty's teachings for a short time that I am unable to describe even a fraction of Your Majesty's virtues. Please forgive me!"

"Hahaha……"

Donghua laughed heartily. Although he knew that Randeng was flattering him, he was still very happy. After all, he was just an ordinary person, so how could he be immune to such flattery?

"Good, you've done a great job. I'll give you the reward after I've thought about it. But the declaration is urgent. You should arrange for it to be spread far and wide. I trust you to handle things."

Ran Deng bowed and said, "Your subject obeys the decree!"

"However, I humbly request Your Majesty to bestow a name upon the scroll, so that it may rightfully be passed down throughout the land, allowing all people to bask in Your Majesty's grace!"

Donghua thought about it for a moment and realized that this made sense. He then said, "This declaration will be issued before the Purple Mansion sets off for war, so let it be called the Purple Mansion Declaration. Is that alright?"

"We will obey Your Majesty's decree!"

The lamp was lit and the lamp was removed, but its silhouette remained in Donghua's heart.

"Randeng has made such a great contribution this time. It seems that all the promises he made before will have to be fulfilled, otherwise it would really be a bit unreasonable."

The great opportunity that Donghua mentioned is the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl. This spiritual treasure is only a high-grade innate spiritual treasure and is not particularly precious. However, if it is combined with the Qiankun Ruler, it can open up the twenty-four heavens.

Don't think that just because Donghua possesses the 216 Heavens of Purple and Green, the 24 Heavens are ordinary. They are anything but ordinary. Very few people can successfully open up their inner world, let alone such a vast Heaven.

The original owner of this body was able to create such a cultivation method after listening to the Dao at Zixiao Palace. He was truly exceptionally talented and deserved to be named the head of male immortals by Hongjun.

Donghua's current 216 Heavens of Immortals and Demons are roughly equivalent to the power of 2,000 Realms, and this is not an illusory world, but a real world.

The Twenty-Four Heavens are also a real world, and in terms of magical power, they are absolutely unparalleled in the primordial world, and should not be underestimated in the slightest.

Moreover, in terms of magical power alone, given the same quantity, Donghua's power of the heavens might not necessarily be able to compare with that of the Twenty-Four Heavens.
