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

Chapter 261 The Birth of the Human Emperor, the Three Pure Ones Descend to Kunlun

The Thirty-Three Heavens of the Celestial Realm consist of eight heavens in the east, eight heavens in the south, eight heavens in the west, eight heavens in the north, and finally, the Great Luo Heaven in the center.

The most important of the Thirty-Three Heavens is the Great Luo Heaven, which is the core of the Heavenly Realm, the ultimate realm of Heaven, with inexhaustible innate spiritual energy, and the location of important places for all parties in the Heavenly Court. This has not changed whether it was under the control of Di Jun or now under the control of Dong Hua.

In fact, the entire Celestial Realm is an independent world, or rather, the Heaven and Earth Realms are independent great worlds, because these two realms were formed from the origin of the Chaos Pearl when Pangu created the world.

When Pangu was born from the Great Dao, he was accompanied by the Great Dao's supreme treasures: the Chaos Green Lotus, the Heaven-Opening Axe, and the Chaos Pearl. These three supreme treasures were completely the embodiment of the Great Dao, existing in the same way as Pangu, all being part of the Great Dao, only far inferior to Pangu.

After all, Pangu was a tangible Dao!

After the creation of the primordial world, the Heaven-Opening Axe transformed into three supreme innate treasures: the Chaos Bell, the Taiji Diagram, and the Pangu Banner. The Chaos Green Lotus, on the other hand, manifested the most spiritual treasures, including the God-Slaying Spear, the Five Primordial Banners, and the Four Great Lotus Platforms, among others.

Only the Chaos Pearl has disappeared!

However, when Donghua ascended to the Heavenly Realm and became its master, he learned that after the creation of the world, the Chaos Pearl was split in two by Pangu. One part was refined by Pangu into the Thirty-Three Heavens of the Heavenly Realm, and the other part was refined into the Netherworld!

This is why the two realms of Heaven and Earth are so vast and have such great potential, because they are very special in themselves, being manifestations of the Great Dao.

Donghua only learned of these things after becoming the true master of the Heavenly Realm, while Houtu, as the master of the Earthly Realm, probably already knew them.

"We're ultimately not on the same path!"

Inside the Lingxiao Palace!

All the Heavenly Court's Great Luo Immortal Lords, Quasi-Saint Great Immortal Lords, and Quasi-Saint Emperors are seated on the divine thrones. There are also some special Taiyi Heavenly Lords, such as the Four Sea Dragon Kings, who, although their cultivation is Taiyi Golden Immortal, are also qualified to be seated in the main hall.

This was the first Heavenly Court meeting held after Donghua ascended to Heaven, so the scene appeared very solemn and sacred.

Inside the main hall, as Donghua's voice faded, the assembled officials fell silent, all listening respectfully to his words. They knew that although today was a meeting to discuss matters, it was merely Donghua setting the rules, and they had no right to speak.

After Donghua finished reciting his imperial title, he continued, "From this day forward, the primordial world enters a new era, the Taiwei Era. This is to proclaim this to the primordial world and all living beings!"

As Donghua finished speaking, his voice resounded throughout the entire prehistoric world, and every living being in the world knew that from now on, the Taiwei Era would be used, and this year was the first year of Taiwei.

This is the Heavenly Emperor, whose words are law, and whose every word and deed is engraved in the heavens and earth.

And so, everything for today has come to an end. In fact, there are still many things that Donghua needs to do, but he doesn't have time. His most important task now is to go into seclusion to consolidate his realm and comprehend the power of Hunyuan.

Most of the primordial fortune gathered by the Heavenly Emperor's Seal has returned to the world, leaving less than 20% of it in the Heavenly Court.

However, do not underestimate these two-tenths of the fortune. This is two-tenths of the fortune of the entire prehistoric world. This alone is enough to allow everyone in the Heavenly Court to break through their cultivation again, and their future cultivation will be smooth sailing.

"I will be going into seclusion to cultivate myself. During this time, all affairs of the Heavenly Court will be overseen by the Queen Mother of the West!"

"Your Majesty, we obey!"

……

Jingyang Palace in the Heavenly Court is still the same Jingyang Palace from the Three Islands and Ten Continents, only it was moved to the Heavenly Realm by Donghua. After all, he was used to staying here, and he really wouldn't be used to being in another place.

Donghua's mind was completely immersed in the Primordial Dao. In fact, ever since he attained enlightenment, he had been eager to go into seclusion to cultivate and stabilize his realm.

The biggest difference between the Primordial Chaos Realm and the Quasi-Saint Realm is that all laws and all paths are unified, and all paths and laws are in harmony. This state can also be called the Primordial Chaos.

In fact, Donghua was already very familiar with the Hunyuan realm. The only difference was his comprehensive understanding of this realm, especially since he had broken through to the third level of Hunyuan in one go and needed to comprehend this realm little by little.

Just as Donghua was in seclusion, the entire Heavenly Court mobilized and began to rebuild the Thirty-Three Heavens on the original foundation of the Heavenly Realm, which are the Thirty-Six Palaces and Seventy-Two Halls of the Heavenly Realm in later generations.

What are these palaces called Mi Luo Palace, Dou Niu Palace, Tong Ming Hall, Pi Xiang Hall, and so on!

The Queen Mother of the West even moved the entire Jade Pool to the Heavenly Court and established it within the Great Luo Heaven, which can also be said to be independent of the Great Luo Heaven and form its own world.

The present-day Xikunlun is merely a place of worship for the Queen Mother of the West, just as Shouyang Mountain is in Donghua.

While Donghua was in seclusion cultivating, the primordial world also entered a period of rapid development.

After the Great Tribulation, all beings no longer faced difficulties in cultivation, nor did they need to worry about the Great Tribulation entering their bodies. Therefore, a large number of beings began to travel through the primordial world, visiting fellow Daoists and so on.

Moreover, with the decline of the Lich and Demon races, the myriad races of the primordial world once again took action, beginning to leave their original small worlds or isolated places, and officially entering the primordial world to occupy the empty world left behind by the Lich and Demons.

Among all the races, the human race stands out the most. With the loss of the suppression by the lich, the human population has grown again, expanding from millions to hundreds of millions in just a few thousand years.

However, with the Heavenly Court suppressing the heavens and earth and Donghua having just attained enlightenment and become the Heavenly Emperor, his power over the Three Realms is immense, so no one dares to truly wage a clan war, and every force is very restrained.

Everyone is waiting for the Heavenly Court's next move!

However, the pattern of all races vying for supremacy in the prehistoric world has gradually taken shape, and even the powerful Heavenly Court cannot stop it. After all, such a vast prehistoric world must have people living in it.

Therefore, a war among all races is inevitable; it remains to be seen who will rise to become the dominant force in the world.

……

Shouyang Mountain is the Daoist temple of Donghua, but apart from the main branch, the entire area is the land of the human race, and it is also the gathering place of the human race's high-ranking members, namely the people created by Nuwa herself.

In a grand hall of the human race, the Heavenly Emperor and the Earthly Emperor sat on high places, surrounded by human experts, all of whom were at the Great Luo Taiyi realm, including Suiren, Zhisheng, Youchao, Huaxu, and others.

Suirenshi spoke up, "Brother Emperor, in the East, all races are pressing us relentlessly, constantly shrinking our human territory. Should we take action?"

The Emperor glanced at the crowd and replied, "Gentlemen, after the last great calamity, our human race's overall strength declined severely, especially the innate human race, where nearly 80% perished. Although our population is rapidly recovering, there are very few Grand Luo and Taiyi cultivators left. What can we do?"

These words silenced everyone in the hall. Currently, the human race only has five Great Luo Golden Immortals and over a hundred Taiyi, not even a single Quasi-Saint. Therefore, they are helpless in the face of the relentless pressure from all races.

Suirenshi stood up in a rage, slammed his fist on the table in front of him, and said sternly, "We have to fight even if we can't win! The Quanfeng tribe is pressing us step by step, constantly squeezing our land and entering our cities with impunity. How can we tolerate this? We'd rather die!"

These words quickly garnered support from many, but many others shook their heads, arguing that if you can't win, you can't win, and forcing a fight will only lead to the extinction of the human race.

Although the Dog-Sealing Clan has a population of over 100 million, it has ten Great Luo Golden Immortals, especially their ancestor who was at the peak of the Great Luo realm. The human race simply cannot defeat them.

The Earthly Emperor glared at the Suiren Clan and said angrily, "Sit down! Don't resort to reckless bravery when faced with trouble. How can such behavior allow the human race to rise up!"

Helpless, Suiren could only sit in his seat and sulk, while Dihuang continued:

"We should remain calm and avoid conflict with the Dog-Sealing Clan or any other race. The initiator of this war must not be our human race, otherwise, a great disaster may befall us. Remember, the Eastern Continent has an owner; it is Teacher's territory."

"Now that our Master has attained the Dao of Primordial Chaos, ascended to the Heavenly Realm, established the Heavenly Court, and achieved the position of Heavenly Emperor, what he needs most is stability. Therefore, our human race must never become the instigator of war, but should instead be the victim!"

These words were immediately met with approval from everyone in the hall, even the Emperor nodded solemnly and said:

"Second brother's words are exactly what I was thinking. The primordial world has undergone tremendous changes, and our teacher's Heavenly Court has become the most powerful force and the ruler in the primordial world. At this time, what we need is patience and diligent cultivation to wait for the right opportunity!"

"Therefore, I suggest that the human race comprehensively shrink its power, mobilize all resources, and exchange all the missing cultivation resources at the Wanbao Pavilion to enhance the strength of the entire race, especially those at the Daluo and Taiyi realms."

"Yes!" everyone responded immediately!

Just when everyone thought the matter was over, the Earth Emperor descended from his high place, stood in the center of the hall, and loudly proclaimed:

"As the saying goes, a snake cannot move without a head, and a bird cannot fly without wings. Our human race also needs a patriarch, an emperor, to lead us to greater strength as the human emperor. I intend to appoint the Heavenly Emperor as the emperor of our human race!"

After speaking, the Earthly Emperor knelt down regardless of whether the crowd agreed.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

After recovering from their astonishment, everyone carefully considered the words of the Earthly Emperor, and then they all stood up and knelt down.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

This caught the Emperor off guard, as they hadn't discussed this matter beforehand. He immediately stood up and said:

"What virtue or ability do I possess to assume the position of clan leader and human emperor? I intend to become the human emperor of the Earthly Emperor Clan!"

This was not an excuse from the Heavenly Emperor, but his true thoughts. Among the several Great Luo Immortals of the human race, only the Earthly Emperor was the most talented and had extraordinary wisdom. It was most appropriate for him to lead the human race!

However, the Earthly Emperor completely ignored this and continued, "Please, Heavenly Emperor, ascend the throne of the Human Emperor and pay homage to His Majesty!"

The group followed the Earthly Emperor to pay their respects once more!

Before the Heavenly Emperor could say anything more, the Earthly Emperor rose again to pay his respects: "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

This was the third time everyone had bowed, and the Heavenly Emperor no longer refused, saying directly, "Very well, since you brothers trust my Heavenly Emperor clan, then I accept the positions of clan leader and emperor!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd bowed again and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty the Emperor!"

The sound reverberated throughout the main hall and echoed across Shouyang Mountain!

At this moment, the sun hangs high in the sky, its midday rays shining upon the earth as if celebrating for humanity.

But from this moment on, humanity had a leader, no longer a disorganized bunch, and the five separate fingers began to coalesce into a fist.

It's anyone's guess who will get the punch; it could be the Dog-Sealing Clan, or it could be any of the myriad races of the primordial world!

At that very moment, the Human Path, one of the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man in the Primordial World, trembled violently, as if cheering for something. This was the first time the Human Path had trembled since the defeat of the Witch and Demon races!

On Mount Kunlun, the Supreme Being's Dharma Eye swept across the Great Dao, deduce what had happened that had shaken the human realm.

A moment later, he opened his eyes and said, "Another turbulent time indeed!"

Xuandu, who was standing to the side, asked, "Master, has something happened?"

The Supreme Being said, "This matter concerns your human race. Although you are now my disciple, your connection with the human race still exists, and you still have a role to play. Therefore, you need to cultivate diligently and attain the Great Luo realm as soon as possible!"

Although Xuandu didn't know what had happened, upon hearing Taishang mention the human race, he responded, "This disciple is dull-witted and has not yet comprehended the Great Luo Dao, but I will definitely strive to cultivate in the future to become a Great Luo!"

Taishang shook his head and said, "You cannot break through to the Great Luo realm by cultivating diligently in Kunlun Mountain, because your heart is with the human race. You cannot achieve unity of body and soul, nor can you enter the River of Time!"

"I might as well go down the mountain myself to practice my own path. You will come with me to the human realm to spread the teachings and establish a great sect for the Xuanmen!"

Xuandu: "Yes, Master!"

Just then, Yuanshi and Tongtian arrived at the Taiqing Palace.

"Elder brother, the human realm is in turmoil, but is there another change in the destiny of Heaven?" Tongtian asked impatiently.

The Supreme Being told the two what he had calculated.

After a moment of contemplation, Yuanshi said, "In that case, a situation of competition among all races is about to take shape. Let's see who can obtain the blessing of humanity and become the dominant race in this world, that is, the protagonist of heaven and earth!"

Taishang nodded and said, "The Wu and Yao races are still at their peak. I didn't expect Nuwa and Donghua to have thought of this and also set their sights on the human race. They have placed their bets on the human race. Now that I think about it, the human race is indeed suitable for the human way and also suitable for the mainstream of the development of heaven and earth."

"Donghua and Nuwa's schemes are truly profound; I, a humble Taoist, am ashamed of my inferiority!"

Yuanshi narrowed his eyes slightly and said softly, "Elder brother, nothing is settled yet. This is only the beginning. It's still uncertain who will inherit the destiny of humanity!"

Tongtian laughed heartily and said, "Second brother, what you say is exactly what I was thinking. Now that we have both broken through to the Quasi-Saint realm, all that remains is to practice our own Great Dao. And we have already comprehended our Dao, which is to promote and glorify the Xuanmen through teaching and enlightenment, thereby proving the Dao of Hunyuan and achieving the status of Saints!"

"Therefore, the outcome is still uncertain!"

Taishang smiled with satisfaction and casually said, "I was just about to go down the mountain to the human race to practice my own path. Why don't we go together?"

"Let's go together!"

"Let's go together!"

As soon as they finished speaking, the Three Pure Ones, along with their respective disciples, descended from Kunlun Mountain!

Thus, a new chapter in the primordial world began once again!
