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

Chapter 201: Since Taiyi was born, why was Donghua born?

The scene unfolding in the sky shocked everyone. They stared in disbelief, as if they were seeing things or something had happened.

"Taiyi and Donghua are actually sitting down and discussing Daoist principles?"

"Shouldn't it be a life-or-death battle between them?"

"Should the Purple Mansion and the demon race join forces?"

"Won't Taiyi avenge Dijun?"

One question after another kept popping into everyone's mind.

But whether they believe it or not, this scene has already happened, and it's right before their eyes!

Above the sky, Donghua finally placed his first white piece, seemingly casually.

As the piece was placed, the two players went back and forth, and a large number of pieces appeared on the board in an instant.

As time went on, the two players slowed down their moves, taking a long time to consider each move.

On the chessboard, various strategies are presented, clashing and fighting against each other. A single careless move can result in the destruction of several pieces.

At this moment, the chess pieces that Donghua had casually placed earlier began to play their role, and the various pieces connected together, as if the great Dao was merging with each other.

The endless power of rules connected to form a world, beginning to surround and attack Taiyi's pieces, gradually eroding them.

Taiyi closed his eyes slightly, and a chess piece fell, instantly transforming into a powerful seal that shot straight towards the enemy. Where the seal stood, Donghua's chess pieces instantly vanished into nothingness.

The two went back and forth, neither giving an inch!

Other players are adding more and more pieces, but these two are losing more and more pieces!

What was originally a game of wits has now completely turned into a game of courage. This is a clash of their fundamental principles, even more intense than a direct physical fight.

Then, at a certain moment, Donghua placed a chess piece, instantly creating three thousand white pieces.

The white pieces interacted, transforming into the Three Thousand Great Daos, and began to once again surround and kill Taiyi's black pieces.

As time passed, the game of chess went on for an unknown period of time, until finally Taiyi had only one piece left, while Donghua's pieces almost filled the entire board.

Upon seeing this, Taiyi gathered the power of the Great Dao, condensing it into a black chess piece that landed on the chessboard, moving in the same direction as the last chess piece.

It instantly wiped out most of Donghua's pieces, but in the end it still fell and turned into nothingness.

At this moment, there are no more black pieces on the chessboard!

Taiyi is defeated!

"The Three Thousand Great Daos are truly powerful; the power of their rules is truly profound. I have lost!"

Taiyi was quite decisive and admitted defeat immediately.

Donghua simply smiled, casually removed the chessboard, and poured a cup of tea for the two of them.

Taiyi took a sip of tea and slowly said:

"If I had a choice, I'd rather die by your hand, or I'd rather kill you with my own hands!"

"Sometimes when I think about it carefully, I wonder if there's something wrong with the Great Dao. Perhaps we two gave birth to one more, and there should only be one existence in this primordial world."

"If Taiyi was born, why was Donghua born?"

"Even one of the Eastern King or the Eastern Emperor is enough!"

"The other one is completely unnecessary!"

Donghua nodded and said, "I agree with what you said. Sometimes I really envy you. You were born as the Lord of the Sun Star, born with a supreme innate treasure, with the Great Dao by your side, and extraordinary talent and ability."

"It's a pity you followed the wrong person. You rose to power because of the demon race, and you fell because of the demon race. You, Taiyi, should be a free and unrestrained being, not limited by anyone or anything!"

Upon hearing this, Taiyi stared straight at Donghua, remaining silent for a long time.

"Perhaps you are the only one in this world who truly understands me, even more so than my older brother!"

"I have lost this battle. I will not stop you from absorbing your source power. Next time we meet, it will be a life-or-death battle."

After Taiyi finished speaking, he got up and left, returning to the Heavenly Realm.

Donghua sat upright on the white lotus, watching Taiyi's departing figure, and let out a long sigh.

The sighs in this life contained many things that were hard to explain or articulate, and even Donghua himself did not know what he was sighing about.

Perhaps it's a pity!

The confrontation in the sky ended like a drama, but it seemed to be the way it should have been, after all, the two had extremely special identities, yet they never spoke to each other.

Taiyi appeared generous in the end, but in reality, he was powerless to stop it. In one game, the two players' Dao Realm cultivation levels were revealed, and Taiyi suffered a complete defeat.

Therefore, based solely on their cultivation level, Donghua won this round decisively. However, in terms of combat strength, it's hard to say who is stronger. Both are at the peak of Quasi-Saint level, and each has their own methods. Without a real fight, who can know for sure?

Donghua returned to Mount Tai. At this time, eighty-one years had passed since Taiyi appeared, which meant that this game of chess had been played for eighty-one years.

The divine incarnation atop Mount Tai has already completed half of the Heavenly Realms. Donghua once again draws upon the power of the Heavenly Realm and merges it into the incarnation.

The heavens and earth continued to take shape!

As Donghua continued to gather the power of the Heavenly Realm, he spotted the entrance to the Earthly Realm in the distance. His eyes flickered, and he said, "Let me borrow the power of the Origin!"

Then, with a wave of his hand, the Three Lives Stone was released, connecting directly to the Netherworld, serving as a medium to absorb the power of the Netherworld.

Houtu, residing in the earthly realm, seemed oblivious, paying no heed or concern, and focusing solely on cultivating the Great Dao.

At this time, Donghua had already gathered the power of heaven and earth. As for the power of the human realm, it was the power of the primordial world, so there was no need to deliberately absorb it.

Because we are in the primordial wilderness, constantly absorbing its power, there is no need for us to deliberately absorb it.

At this moment, the power of Heaven, Earth, and Man was gathered, and the 108 Heavens of the Divine Path were finally formed.

"The fourth realm of the Divine Path: The Realm of Heaven and Earth!"

Of course, ordinary cultivators of the divine path do not need to cultivate the power of the heavens like Donghua; they only need to condense and evolve their inner world!

"The fifth realm of immortal cultivation, which involves mastering the laws, is called the Golden Immortal Realm. 'Gold' signifies immortality!"

"The rules of divine cultivation evolve into the rules of heaven and earth, therefore the fifth realm of divine cultivation is the realm of rules!"

The creation of the Divine Path has reached this point, marking the successful completion of a certain stage of its mission. The Golden Immortal realm is a watershed moment in cultivation, and only those who reach this realm are worthy of being called masters or strongmen!

The sixth realm, Taiyi Realm, is where true freedom resides. In the primordial world, Taiyi is an absolute master in any era, because it is a realm that connects the past and the future, and also a transitional realm.

The sixth realm of the Divine Path is the most crucial, because it requires transforming heaven and earth into a world and cultivating a divine kingdom within the body.

Within the divine realm, I am supreme!

"The sixth realm of the Divine Path: the World Realm, the Divine Kingdom Realm!"

By transforming the virtual into the real and the real into the virtual, the virtual and the real are combined to evolve the divine kingdom of the world.

The divine incarnation began to evolve the divine kingdom within his body, and the 108 heavens evolved into various worlds, totaling one thousand worlds.

"The Great Dream encompasses three thousand realms, each dream a unique era, each dream a new world. I cannot guide all three thousand realms, but I can still create a divine kingdom within my own body."

At this moment, Donghua dreamed for eternity, and a thousand divine worlds began to evolve continuously, giving birth to all things, from things to people, with living beings appearing and faith being established!

Within the divine realm, Donghua sat regally on the altar, expounding the Great Dao and the precious pronouncements of the Eastern God, while a multitude of gods stood respectfully on either side, listening to the divine voice.

The sixth realm has been achieved!

What is God?

"God is the embodiment of rules and order!"

"The seventh realm of immortality is the Great Luo Golden Immortal. 'Great' means vast and boundless, and 'Luo' means net and all-encompassing. The Great Luo is boundless, encompassing all existence, and is also the end of the Dao."

Everything in the world has its own predetermined fate, which is what is called destiny. What Quasi-Saints pursue is to break through the limitations of destiny in order to transcend to the other shore and reach the state of primordial unity.

In fact, the Great Luo Golden Immortal is the ultimate goal of the Dao!

Because Quasi-Saints are Daluo, and Hunyuan are also Daluo. Don't you see that Hunyuan is called Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal? Quasi-Saints and Hunyuan are just different manifestations of Daluo.

However, the Great Luo realm is so vast that people cannot see the end, which is why the Quasi-Saint realm exists. In reality, the Quasi-Saint realm is still the Great Luo realm, only it is a Great Luo Golden Immortal who has transcended the river of time.

"So what is the seventh realm of the Divine Path? In the ancient times, this realm was called the Divine Emperor Realm, and the title 'Emperor' perfectly captured its profound meaning!"

"The power of the rules of cultivation of the Great Luo of the Divine Path evolves the rules and order from the world; the Great Dao is the rule."

"The Acquired Divine Path realm is the Realm of Rules, the Realm of Order, and can also be called the Great Luo Realm!"

As Donghua's voice faded, the divine incarnation began cultivating the world, evolving the rules and order of heaven and earth, and the three thousand great paths transformed into a chain of rules and order.

He then stepped into the River of Time, roamed within it, and swiftly gathered his past and present selves. With a soft sound, he broke through to the Great Luo realm and reached the eighth stage.

With this breakthrough, the incarnations began to converge towards Donghua, eventually merging into one.

At this moment, Donghua gathered the power of the Immortal, God, and Demon paths, all three being quasi-saints. The trinity, an ancient and majestic power, permeated Mount Tai.

And so, the divine way was accomplished!

Don't ask how to cultivate at the Divine Path Quasi-Saint realm. The answer is simply to cultivate the Great Dao. Techniques and such are useless, and that is indeed the case.

Regardless of the different systems of spiritual practice, they all ultimately lead to the same destination.

As the divine incarnation merged, 108 heavens rapidly opened up within Donghua's body, and the power of the immortal, divine, and demonic paths combined within him according to the positions of heaven, earth, and humanity.

"The divine realms, arising from the power of the celestial origin, are the 108 Heavens of the Heavenly Palace!"

"The 324 heavens of immortals, gods, and demons, collectively known as the Purple and Azure Heavens, encompass three thousand realms!"

Donghua closed his eyes slightly and began his cultivation of the divine path. The Great Dao circulated, and the three thousand Great Daos transformed into the Divine Wheel, which floated behind Donghua.

……

Time passed, and after an unknown period of time, Donghua's divine cultivation also reached the peak of Quasi-Saint. At this time, he was at the peak of Quasi-Saint in all three paths: Immortal, God, and Demon, and had reached the perfect realm.

All that's left is to break through to the Primordial Chaos Realm!

Donghua stood up, atop the twelve-petaled Pure White Lotus, looked up at the sky, and slowly said:

"Heaven's Way is above. Today, I, Donghua, create the Post-Heaven Divine Path Cultivation System. Gods are order and rules. All those who cultivate the Divine Path take it as their responsibility to maintain the operation of Heaven and Earth and the primordial order."

"The first stage of divine cultivation is... Thus, the acquired divine path is achieved; may the Heavenly Dao bear witness!"

At this moment, Donghua proclaimed the emergence of the post-heavenly divine path to the Heavenly Dao, to the primordial world, and to all living beings.

The Eye of Heaven hangs high above Mount Tai, sensing the acquired divine path created by Donghua, and carefully comprehending the realm of the divine path. The divine path is special, as if it is recognizing something.

Time passed little by little, and at a certain moment, the Eye of Heaven released boundless light, engraving the entire cultivation system of the acquired divine path onto the Heavenly Dao.

The Eye of Heaven dispersed, and countless merits of Xuanhuang descended from the sky, dividing into four, with Donghua alone possessing nine-tenths of the merits.

The remaining merit was divided into three parts: one went to the Heavenly Realm, one went to the Earthly Realm, and one disappeared into the primordial world.

The emergence of the Divine Path shocked everyone in the world, because they discovered that cultivating the Divine Path did not require undergoing tribulations, but only required undertaking divine duties and maintaining the operation of heaven and earth.

Therefore, both the immortal and divine paths have their advantages and disadvantages, and it is impossible to say which is better or worse. However, the fact that the divine path does not require tribulations means that many people are destined to cultivate the divine path.

Moreover, the requirements for natural talent and background in Shinto cultivation are relatively low; even those who cultivate later in life can achieve great things.

In the Kunlun Mountains, the Supreme Being, sensing the acquired divine way flowing between heaven and earth, couldn't help but sigh:

"Donghua is truly a genius! Although the path of gods will inevitably arise, it is both independent of the path of immortals and interdependent with it—truly miraculous!"

Tongtian reached out and grabbed the divine power of heaven and earth, held it in his hand to comprehend and contemplate it, and then said:

"Elder brother, although this method is miraculous, it ultimately originates from the immortal path. Achieving quasi-sainthood is not difficult, but the path to primordial chaos is unclear. There is no feasible method for proving the Dao, so it is like a chicken rib to us!"

Taishang laughed and said, "Third brother, third brother, how many people in the world can cultivate to our level? Nowadays, there are many people who have acquired their cultivation through practice. The divine path is a blessing for them."

"However, the path of immortality values ​​life, and the path of the gods still cannot shake the position of the path of immortality. But as the leaders of the Xuanmen, we need to be careful."

"Perhaps it is time for the Xuanmen to emerge. We must spread the Great Dao, disseminate the Daoist scriptures, and open our mountain gates wide, so that the immortal Xuanmen can stand at the pinnacle of the primordial world."

Tongtian nodded slowly and said, "Brother, what you say makes sense. We have now walked our own paths. All we need to do is write our own Taoist scriptures and use them as teaching materials for the Xuanmen. In this way, we can broaden the Xuanmen."

Taishang smiled gently and said with some shame, "Third brother, I do not wish to take on more disciples. Perhaps there will be one, or perhaps there will be none. The true propagation of the Daoist scriptures depends on you and second brother."

"However, I will also send out avatars to spread my teachings throughout the world, taking in a few nominal disciples. Those with the affinity will be able to hear my teachings!"

"Alright, let's do as you say, elder brother. When the second brother returns, it will be time for us, the Three Pure Ones, to descend the mountain and spread our teachings. Once the Xuanmen sect emerges, who can rival us? I will establish a great sect that is second to none."
