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

Chapter 260 Achieving the Throne of the Heavenly Emperor, A New Era Begins in the Primordial World

After years of accumulation, Donghua broke through to the third level of Hunyuan, becoming the second person in the prehistoric world after Hongjun to reach this realm.

Nuwa was the first person to break through the Hunyuan realm, but she is still at the second level of Hunyuan and has not yet broken through to the third level.

However, it should be soon, especially after Nuwa cultivated with Donghua in the Chaos Realm. Nuwa's Three Thousand Great Daos are almost complete. What remains is to comprehend her own Three Thousand Great Daos based on the Great Dao of Creation.

After breaking through to the third level of the Primordial Chaos Realm, Donghua did not rush to attain the Heavenly and Earthly Rank, but instead began to refine the Chaos Qi and adjust his own state.

Kunlun Mountains!

The Three Pure Ones gathered all their disciples on Qilin Cliff to watch Donghua's sacrifice to Heaven and Earth and his attainment of the Primordial Dao. After all, such an event was indeed rare, or rather, there would only be a few such scenes in the entire prehistoric world.

Yuanshi gently stroked the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi in his hand, then turned to Taishang and asked, "Elder brother, do you think Donghua can attain the position of Heaven and Earth?"

"I don't know!" Taishang answered decisively, as if whether Donghua could attain the position of Heavenly Emperor was none of his business.

Tongtian laughed and said, "Second brother, you're too hasty about this matter. Whether Junior Brother Donghua can attain the Heavenly Emperor's position or not won't affect our path to sainthood. We'll deal with the future later!"

The Supreme Being stroked his white beard and said in agreement, "Third Brother's words have a certain charm of the Way of Non-Action, which is exactly what I think. We should let everything take its natural course and not force things too much!"

Yuanshi looked at Taishang Tongtian and said helplessly, "Eldest brother, third brother, your paths do not conflict with Donghua's, so there is no rush. But I cannot! The way of expounding the heavens and following the will of heaven is too similar to Donghua's duties as the Heavenly Emperor. There will definitely be more conflicts in the future."

Tongtian and Taishang could not possibly be unaware of this, but Donghua was now determined to assume the position of Heavenly Emperor, and no one could or dared to stop him.

Can't you see that the Jade Disc of Creation in the heavens is still transforming the chaotic energy?

How can they possibly stop them?

Moreover, they are no match for Donghua now, so whether Donghua can attain the position of Heavenly Emperor is something they can only wait quietly for; there is nothing else they can do.

……

Inside the Wuzhuang Temple, Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun stood on the ginseng fruit tree, and the Heaven and Earth Mirror displayed the entire scene of Buzhou Mountain within it.

"Brother Hongyun, do you think Donghua can succeed?"

The same sentence, spoken by Zhen Yuanzi and Yuan Shi, clearly carries two different meanings.

Zhen Yuanzi was more hoping for Donghua's success, while Yuanshi had a sense of anticipation, wondering if any unexpected events might occur.

Hongyun's gaze never left the treasure mirror. He said, "There shouldn't be any problem. Currently, ninety percent of the fortune of the primordial world is gathered on Mount Buzhou. The only thing left in the entire world that hasn't shown any signs of change is the Northern Continent, which is irrelevant to the overall situation. Besides, Donghua also possesses the Primordial Purple Qi!"

Zhen Yuanzi thought for a moment and agreed with Hongyun's words, but still said with concern, "The Dao Ancestor once said that there are three ways to become a saint: through strength, through the Three Corpses, and through merit. But what method is needed to achieve the position of Heavenly Emperor?"

Upon hearing this, Hongyun was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Zhen Yuanzi and said, "Brother Dao, your words are spot on. This is exactly what I was worried about. However, it seems there are still only those three methods. Moreover, Donghua is the Dao Ancestor's disciple; perhaps he has already taught us the method to become the Heavenly Emperor. We can just wait quietly!"

Zhen Yuanzi nodded, agreeing that this made sense. Then the two turned their gaze back to Mount Buzhou.

At this moment, Donghua is wholeheartedly refining the innate spiritual energy and transforming it into primordial power to fill the void in the Three Palaces and Heavens.

In fact, the accumulation of Hunyuan magic power does not affect the breakthrough of realm, but for Donghua, there can be no mistakes in what follows, and even the slightest mistake must be nipped in the bud.

"Brother Hongyun, what do you think about us going to the Heavenly Court now?"

Hongyun thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense. Regardless of success or failure, we should go. If we succeed, we can offer our congratulations; if we fail, it's a good opportunity to comfort him. There's always next time!"

Having made up their minds, the two immediately flew to Buzhou Mountain.

At this moment, all the great powers of the prehistoric world awaited the result, wanting to see if Donghua could prove himself to be the Primordial Lord, because once Donghua proved himself to be the true Heavenly Emperor, the future landscape of the prehistoric world would be completely different.

……

Meanwhile, atop Mount Buzhou, Donghua finally absorbed and refined the chaotic energy. The three palaces and heavens within his body were now fully filled, reaching saturation. The three kinds of primordial magic power were constantly generating and operating independently.

Donghua's aura surged, and his sacred and majestic power permeated heaven and earth, causing all the strange phenomena in the world to disappear.

Because the sacrificial ceremony has ended!

Donghua looked up at the Jade Disc of Creation in the heavens and slowly bowed, saying, "Thank you, Master!"

It has to be said that since his rebirth, Hongjun has indeed treated him very well. Or rather, regardless of whether he was reborn or not, Hongjun has always treated Dongwanggong well. After all, the title of the head of male immortals is not a simple title; it is a title with real benefits.

Even if Donghua doesn't do anything, he will still have a share of the fortune of the immortal path. You should know that the immortal path is the mainstream of the current cultivation system in the prehistoric world, and there are countless people who cultivate immortality.

Anyone who becomes an immortal must first pay homage to Donghua and then to west Wangmu. No one can escape this, not even a disciple of a sage. However, disciples of sages generally do not have anyone below the Dao Fruit level.

Although Guang Chengzi, Xuandu, and others are human, they are innate humans, born at the Golden Immortal realm.

With Donghua's bow, the Jade Disc of Creation disappeared into the heavens, and Hongjun said nothing.

Donghua turned his gaze to the people in the Purple Mansion. At this moment, everyone could not hide their excitement. Donghua's attainment of the Primordial Dao meant that they had an invaluable backer. Even if there were many saints in the future, none of them would be able to bully them anymore.

The happiest of all were the dragon, phoenix, and qilin clans. Their choice was right, and they would no longer have to worry about karma. Perhaps they would even have a continuous stream of merit to accumulate.

"Greetings to the Supreme, Unsurpassed, Naturally Existing, Boundless Heavenly Venerable, Eastern Emperor, Your Majesty! May you be well!"

Everyone in the Purple Mansion solemnly bowed to Donghua, showing their excitement. This was also the first time in the primordial world that Donghua had been addressed with such an honorific title!

Donghua channeled the power of the Great Dao, his aura radiating outwards, shining brightly across the primordial world against the backdrop of Mount Buzhou.

At this moment, the light of all the stars in the heavens poured into the world, and the thirty-three heavens of the celestial realm released boundless light, with the light of the two merging together.

All four gates of the Heavenly Realm were wide open, and four peak Great Luo cultivators guarded the gates.

These four were the four divine beasts under the command of the Queen Mother of the West in Xikunlun, namely Yingzhao, Kaiming Beast, Luwu, and Lizhu.

In fact, the Heavenly Realm and the starry sky were completely taken over by the Purple Mansion long before the Battle of Buzhou Mountain ended.

The starry sky is guarded by the Six Star Lords of the Southern Dipper, led by the Lesser Master of Fate, along with some of the original Star Gods. The Thirty-Three Heavenly Realms are guarded by the Greater Master of Fate himself, in addition to the Four Divine Beasts of the Western Kunlun guarding the four gates of the Heavenly Realm.

This is also why these people did not appear during today's sacrificial ceremony to Heaven and Earth; it was for this moment that the gates of Heaven were opened to welcome Donghua to ascend to Heaven.

That's right. If Donghua wants to attain the highest position in the celestial realm, he must be in the celestial realm. After all, when he announced the establishment of the Supreme Heavenly Court, he was based on the Thirty-Three Heavens of the celestial realm.

"Rise, my lords, and follow me to the celestial realm!"

"We will obey Your Majesty's decree!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Nine Dragons Incense Carriage appeared out of thin air, with Donghua sitting inside, accompanied by the Dharma Protector Qianyu and three thousand heavenly generals.

These heavenly generals were all at the Golden Immortal or Taiyi realm, and three of the commanders were even at the Daluo realm.

Arrogant!

That's incredibly extravagant!

However, everyone was willing to be an ordinary heavenly general, accompanying Donghua.

Beside Donghua, west Wangmu also sat in a golden carriage, her figure only half a step behind.

Following the two were the vehicles of the Purple Palace Emperor and the Great Immortal Lord, some of whom sat on imperial carriages, while others rode directly on their mounts.

Next comes the Great Luo Immortal Lord, and so on!

Although their entrances differed, each of them exuded the aura of the Great Dao, enveloped in celestial light, and appeared sacred and majestic.

And this scene will forever be etched in the hearts of all living beings in the primordial world!

"This is what a man should do!"

It's unclear who actually said that, but you could tell from the intense looks in everyone's eyes that those words struck a chord with them!

Later, the historical records compiled by the Heavenly Court stated:

At the dawn of an era, the Heavenly Emperor Donghua attained enlightenment and led the people of the Purple Mansion to the Thirty-Three Heavens, where they established the Supreme Heavenly Court!

……

At the South Heavenly Gate, the divine beast Kaiming led his generals to await Donghua and the others.

"You've worked hard!" Donghua sat upright in the Nine Dragons Incense Carriage, looking at Kaiming who was guarding the South Heavenly Gate, and said softly.

Kaiming quickly stepped forward and said, "It is my honor to guard the Heavenly Gate for Your Majesty. There is no hardship to speak of. I beg Your Majesty not to trouble me!"

Donghua chuckled softly and said, "You, you, when did you learn to speak like that? However, the Four Heavenly Gates are the gateways to the Heavenly Realm, and your duties are extremely important. Do this well, and I will reward you handsomely!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty. With me guarding the Southern Heavenly Gate, I will not allow a single scoundrel to enter the Heavenly Realm!"

Donghua laughed and continued inside!

This laugh left the Enlightened Beast somewhat bewildered. It scratched its head and muttered, "Did I say something wrong? But these are words that Boss Lu Wu personally taught us, and I practiced them for several days. I shouldn't have made a mistake, right?"

The enlightened beast was bewildered, but at that moment it made up its mind that it would find a quick-witted person to accompany it in guarding the South Heavenly Gate.

In fact, Donghua smiled because he thought about how Yang Jian, Sun Wukong and others would wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace in the future with the four divine beasts guarding the South Heavenly Gate.

I doubt they could even get into the Heavenly Realm!

It should be noted that although the four divine beasts, including Kaiming and Luwu, are at the peak of the Great Luo realm, their combat power is comparable to that of a Quasi-Saint. As ferocious beasts, they are incredibly tough and their physical strength is no less than that of the true form of the Witch Clan.

Moreover, apart from Lu Wu, these four are almost all physically strong but mentally weak. It is estimated that these four divine beasts will become the nightmare of all those who cause havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

Donghua laughed out loud because he realized this, after all, it was really funny!

As the group from the Purple Mansion traveled along, passing through various heavens of the celestial realm, Donghua looked at the scenery of the celestial realm and suddenly sighed, "I remember the first time I came to the celestial realm, it was to attend the banquet when Dijun established the Heavenly Court. How spirited and ambitious Dijun Taiyi was back then."

"My biggest wish at the time was to become a renowned figure in the world, just like them."

"Time has passed, and Di Jun and Tai Yi are no more. I have once again set foot in the Heavenly Realm, but this time as its master. How ironic!"

The Queen Mother of the West also sighed softly. The hardships they had endured on their journey to enter the Heavenly Court today were truly beyond the comprehension of outsiders.

The battle of the Purple Mansion was especially dangerous, with both the Witch and Demon races joining the fray. If it weren't for Donghua's far-sighted planning, the Purple Mansion would probably not exist today.

And then there was Lu Ya, who almost destroyed Xi Kunlun, nearly causing Donghua and her to perish.

"Brother, it's all over now. We've succeeded!"

"Yes, it's all in the past!" Donghua sighed. The pressure the lich had put on him back then was too great, like a boulder pressing on his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.

When Donghua and the others arrived at the thirty-third day, Donghua flew up from the Nine Dragons Incense Carriage and stood in the celestial firmament.

Everyone knew that the most crucial moment had arrived: Donghua was about to prove his position as the Heavenly Emperor. At this moment, Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun, who had come from Longevity Mountain, also arrived in the Heavenly Realm.

Donghua calmed his mind and immersed himself in the Primordial Purple Qi. The Three Corpses appeared around him, and the three paths of immortals, gods, and demons were reflected in the sky. Then, the sound spread throughout the primordial world and all the myriad realms.

To be honest, Donghua doesn't know how to prove himself to become the Heavenly Emperor, but he already has the necessary merits, fortune, and cultivation, and even possesses the Primordial Purple Qi.

So what remains is to try one method after another to see how to use the Primordial Purple Qi to connect with the Heavenly Dao, obtain the position of the Heavenly Emperor, and receive the blessing of the Heavenly Dao's power.

Jingyang, the evil corpse representing the demonic path; Yuanyang, the benevolent corpse representing the divine path; and Chunyang, the corpse representing the immortal path!

Surrounded by the three corpses, endless power of the Great Dao appeared around Donghua, and the power of the Emperor's Dao emerged from the Heavenly Realm, once again appearing between the primordial world.

The innate treasure, the Heavenly Emperor Seal, appeared in the sky, with nine golden dragons of fortune coiling around it in the heavens, and immense fortune power flowing into Donghua's body.

Donghua's mind was immersed in the Emperor's Way and the Primordial Purple Qi, where various Great Dao rules intertwined, and these rules were also part of the Heavenly Dao.

If one can comprehend this rule, one can mobilize the power of the Heavenly Dao, and the Primordial Purple Qi will be completely integrated into the primordial spirit, thus achieving the status of a Heavenly Dao Saint.

As long as the Way of Heaven endures, the sage will never die!

Donghua had long ago thoroughly comprehended the Primordial Purple Qi. What he comprehended was order, which was exactly the same as the power of the Heavenly Dao rules he comprehended when he first comprehended the Primordial Purple Qi at Longevity Mountain.

This proves that this is his path, and it is also the key to whether he can attain the position of the Heavenly Emperor!

The Primordial Purple Qi flew out from the primordial spirit and stood beside the Heavenly Emperor's Seal, intertwined with the power of rules.

Donghua quickly recalled the Three Corpses, whose power strengthened his body, and the River of Time and the River of Destiny appeared.

Donghua is using his pure Dao realm cultivation to communicate with the Primordial Purple Qi, thereby triggering the Heavenly Dao and obtaining the position of Heavenly Emperor.

As the power of the Eastern Hua Dao Realm surged in, the Primordial Purple Qi rapidly changed, instantly transforming into pure power of rules. A golden bridge spanning heaven and earth appeared, and the power of the Heavenly Dao formed the Eye of the Heavenly Dao, manifesting in the Heavenly Realm.

"That simple?"

Donghua murmured in disbelief. This scene was exactly the same as when Nuwa became a saint. He could also feel that as long as he merged his true spirit into the golden bridge, the golden bridge could send his true spirit to the Heavenly Dao, thereby obtaining the position of the Heavenly Emperor.

Donghua could hardly believe how easily he had obtained it!

But whether you believe it or not, the facts are right in front of you, and Donghua has no time to hesitate.

However, to be on the safe side, he once again mobilized the power of merit within his body, and the merit of replenishing Buzhou Mountain was immediately added to the Golden Bridge. The powerful force made the entire prehistoric world tremble.

Then Donghua merged a wisp of his true spirit into it, and the golden bridge formed from the Primordial Purple Qi, carrying the power of the Three Corpses, the power of merit, and the power of fortune, quickly flew towards the Eye of Heaven.

"boom!"

A resounding cry echoed throughout heaven and earth, but Donghua did not achieve the position of Heavenly Emperor. Instead, he was struck by Heavenly Thunder, and the Eye of Heaven quickly transformed into the Eye of Heavenly Punishment.

Everyone watched this scene in astonishment. On Mount Kunlun, Yuanshi's lips unconsciously curled into a slight smile. This was the scene he had been hoping for.

The Queen Mother of the West and the others watched in disbelief, wanting to leap up, but were held back by those beside them.

"Your Majesty, please don't worry. Keep reading; His Majesty should be alright!"

In fact, Donghua was not doing anything at the moment, but his mind had already entered the Eye of Heaven.

"How can you assume the position of Heavenly Emperor?"

This is the voice of Heaven, the voice of the Dao, and the voice of the primordial world, the universe, mountains and rivers, the stars and constellations, and all living things.

Donghua had a million answers in his heart, but at this moment, he seemed unable to utter a single word. In the end, he could only answer based on his true inner thoughts.

"Heaven and earth belong to all living beings, not to one race or one person, much less to my Donghua!"

"As the saying goes, the Tao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, and Three gives birth to all things. All living beings can be divided into divinity, animality, and humanity; all three are the nature of all spirits!"

"Therefore, Donghua is willing to lead the Primordial Heavenly Court with the position of Heavenly Emperor, to establish the heart of Heaven and Earth, to establish the destiny of all living beings, to establish morality, to create writing, to improve the system, to form the Heavenly Rules, to educate the world, and to punish the world, to act as Heaven's representative, and to establish the Supreme Heavenly Court and the Supreme Primordial World!"

This was Donghua's true thought; in the end, he didn't even think about it and just blurted it out.

As Donghua finished speaking, his mind instantly returned to his body.

The Eye of Heavenly Punishment disappeared, transforming into pure Heavenly Dao power that surged into Donghua's body.

At this moment, Donghua's figure grew even taller, spanning the heavens and earth, with nine-colored divine light, seven-colored rosy light, and five-colored radiance illuminating the world.

The voice of Heaven's Way flows endlessly!

"boom!"

Donghua has been appointed to the position of the Heavenly Emperor!

Purple Qi traveled 80,000 miles eastward, traversing the heavens and earth. Along with it came the manifestation of the Four Divine Beasts in the primordial world. The Azure Dragon coiled in the east, releasing boundless light, highlighting the figure of Donghua.

Then, true dragons soared up from the four seas, ten thousand dragons converged, and their roars resounded through the heavens.

The true phoenix of the south soared into the sky, its cry echoing through the heavens.

The Qilin emerged from Buzhou Mountain and rose from the east, traversing the heavens and earth, bringing endless auspiciousness.

At this moment, Donghua released a mighty power, which, with the assistance of the Heavenly Dao, spread throughout the prehistoric world. The terrifying imperial pressure caused all living beings in the prehistoric world to submit to Donghua's presence.

The Three Pure Ones, who were watching this scene from Mount Kunlun, couldn't help but bow and say, "Greetings, Eastern Heavenly Emperor!"

The Western Guide, Zhunti, also bowed and said, "Greetings, Eastern Heavenly Emperor!"

Nuwa, residing in the Tai Su Heaven, rose and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Heavenly Emperor!"

Besides, all living beings in the primordial world knelt on the ground and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Heavenly Emperor Donghua!"

Donghua paid no attention to any of this, nor did he have time to. His mind was completely absorbed in the rules of the Heavenly Dao.

At this moment, the power of the rules of the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man in the Primordial World all appeared around him!

Yes, it's not just the power of Heaven, but also the power of Earth and Humanity. Although their combined effect is much weaker than that of Heaven, they do exist.

As time passed, Donghua's figure and the strange phenomena of heaven and earth gradually disappeared from the world!

It's all over!

"Congratulations, elder brother, on attaining the position of Heavenly Emperor!"

Donghua descended from the heavens into the celestial realm, and the Queen Mother of the West immediately stepped forward, saying happily.

Subsequently, everyone in the Purple Mansion offered their congratulations, including Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun, who had also arrived.

Donghua University accepted them all!

……

"Your Majesty, the Lich King has now fallen, and the great cause is accomplished. I beseech Your Majesty to enter the Lingxiao Palace and ascend the throne as Emperor!" Fuxi bowed deeply and spoke slowly.

As Donghua Zheng ascended to the position of Heavenly Emperor, he led the group forward and they had now arrived outside the Lingxiao Palace.

Everyone in the Purple Palace bowed and said, "Please, Your Majesty, enter the Heavenly Palace and ascend the throne as Emperor!"

Looking at the magnificent Lingxiao Palace before him and the deeply prostrating crowd, Donghua gently stroked the Heavenly Book of Gods and murmured, "Actually, I never really wanted to be the Heavenly Emperor!"

Upon hearing this, the faces of everyone in the Purple Mansion twitched involuntarily. Even the Queen Mother of the West couldn't help but glare at Donghua, her meaning quite clear:

Even now, what are you still pretending for?

Donghua smiled helplessly, put away the Heavenly Book of Gods and Investiture of the Gods, and strode into the hall!

At this moment, the Lingxiao Palace has been completely renovated by the Grand Master of Fate, and all the decorations inside have been renewed.

Donghua took a step forward and sat directly on the highest imperial throne.

Seeing that Donghua was seated, everyone entered and bowed, saying, "Your subjects pay homage to the Supreme, Unsurpassed, Natural, Wondrous, and Beginningless Heavenly Venerable, Donghua Shangdi. May Your Majesty be well!"

"Rise, gentlemen, and take your seats!"

Donghua slowly said, "From this day forward, the Purple Mansion is renamed the Heavenly Court, ruling over the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man, all the heavens and the universe, mountains and rivers, and the stars in the celestial sphere!"

"I am the Supreme and Unsurpassed Heavenly Venerable of the Great Void, the Natural and Wondrous Existence, the Great Heavenly Venerable of the East, also known as the Primordial Heavenly Emperor and the Great Heavenly Venerable, who shall suppress all the heavens of the Three Realms!"

A new era has begun, an era that belongs exclusively to Donghua and the Heavenly Court!

……

P.S.: To prove my status as the Heavenly Emperor, I'm asking for monthly votes and hope for your support!
