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

Chapter 265 The Great Chaos War

If we're talking about angel investors in the primordial world, then Hongyun is undoubtedly the most successful one. All his initial efforts have now paid off.

It can hardly be called angel investment, after all, the preciousness of the Primordial Purple Qi is far beyond what a Celestial Venerable position can compare to or offset.

But the position of Heavenly Venerable is just the beginning!

Moreover, if the Primordial Purple Qi were still in Hongyun's hands, he probably wouldn't be alive now!

Because at that time, his opponents were not only Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Di Jiang, but also Dong Hua. In the struggle for the Great Dao, there was no room for sentiment. Moreover, he was not familiar with Hong Yun at that time. His true Daoist friend was Zhen Yuanzi, not Hong Yun!

When Donghua chose the path of the emperor, he was determined to obtain the Primordial Purple Qi in Hongyun's possession. However, to his surprise, the other party actually offered up the Primordial Purple Qi.

This is perhaps the best ending, for both Hongyun and Donghua!

This not only preserved and enhanced the friendship between the two Daoists, but also brought great benefits to both sides. Moreover, based on the karma of the Primordial Purple Qi, Donghua will also do his best to help Hongyun attain enlightenment.

Inside the Lingxiao Palace, Donghua waved the Heavenly Book in his hand, drawing upon the power of the Heavenly Dao to project the gods of the Heavenly Court into the primordial world.

As the power of Heaven and the power of destiny intertwined, divine light and immortal light illuminated the primordial world. All living beings and immortals appeared in the world one after another, receiving the worship of all living beings. In short, they made an appearance.

Donghua put away the Heavenly Book of Investiture of the Gods and proclaimed loudly, "Now that the gods of Heaven have been appointed, all gods must fulfill their divine duties and not fail the expectations of Heaven, Earth, all living beings, and me!"

"If the gods fail to fulfill their divine duties, then don't blame me for showing no mercy with my divine whip!"

The God-Slaying Whip in Donghua's hand is not an innate spiritual treasure. It was only made by him with the help of the power of the Heavenly Dao and the fortune of the Heavenly Court. However, it can strike the gods of the Heavenly Court, so it can be considered a divine treasure.

In fact, the God-Slaying Whip is only used for punishment. The real trump card is the Heavenly Emperor's Seal and the Heavenly Book. With the two together, even the Six Emperors, Donghua, can be abolished with a single word.

This is the transcendence of the Heavenly Emperor!

Although he cannot abolish the positions of the Six Emperors, he can abolish the Six Emperors and replace them with a more suitable person.

So power meant nothing to him; what truly mattered was luck!

Donghua looked at the people of the Heavenly Court, as well as the various immortals and gods who had come to observe the ceremony, and then spoke:

"This conferment of titles upon the gods is now complete!"

"At the beginning of a new era, with the Heavenly Court newly established, and at this time of renewal for all things, we cordially invite all immortals and leaders from all directions to the Heavenly Court to discuss the Heavenly Laws and establish the Heavenly Rules. From this day forward, the Heavenly Court shall govern the world according to the Heavenly Laws and Decrees. From this day forward, the Heavenly Laws and Decrees shall be revised once every new era. This is the first rule of the Heavenly Rules, and it shall not be changed!"

With the Investiture of the Gods over, the next step is the Heavenly Laws and Decrees, which is the most important matter after the establishment of the Heavenly Court. Even the Demon Court and the Witch Court had their own systems, and the Heavenly Court is no exception. Moreover, the Heavenly Laws and Decrees will cover the entire prehistoric world and all living beings in the ten directions.

"The Great Heavenly Venerable is merciful; we will certainly do our utmost to serve the laws of Heaven!"

In fact, most of the people who come to the Heavenly Court today are here for the Heavenly Laws and Decrees, and they don't care about the matter of conferring gods, since it has no bearing on their interests.

However, the laws of nature are different; each one concerns their interests or the interests of their respective forces, so how could they not come?

"Taiyuan, are there any invited guests who have not yet arrived?"

Taiyuan announced, "I hereby inform the Great Heavenly Venerable that all 4,162 invited guests have arrived!"

Donghua nodded and said, "Very well, that's excellent. This meeting is a representative meeting, with only one person from each race, religion, sect, and world participating. The Heavenly Court is an exception!"

"This Heavenly Rules Conference is personally presided over by me and will be held in the Tongming Hall of the Great Luo Heaven. The Heavenly Venerable of All Gods and the Great Emperor Fuxi will be in charge of all matters, with the Five Gods assisting and the Heavenly Official Taihua Great Emperor coordinating all parties!"

Upon hearing Donghua's command, everyone could sense the importance that the Heavenly Court placed on the Heavenly Laws. Even Donghua, the Primordial Heavenly Emperor, was personally involved. This lineup was truly impressive!

"We humbly obey the Great Heavenly Venerable's decree!"

……

With the conclusion of the Heavenly Court's investiture of gods conference, the gods who had been appointed quickly returned to their positions, and the Heavenly Court system began to operate. Various procedures gradually took shape, but due to its initial stage, there were still many imperfections.

There's nothing we can do about it; we can only try to improve things gradually in the future.

In Jingyang Palace, Donghua and Nuwa sat on opposite sides, playing chess and drinking spiritual tea.

Nuwa spoke up, "Junior brother, the Three Pure Ones and the two from the West are about to attain sainthood, but the human race is still too weak to support the status of the Lord of Humanity, let alone defeat all races. Therefore, this struggle for the destiny of humanity is full of many variables. I wonder if you have any plans, junior brother?"

Donghua looked at the chessboard in front of him, pointed a finger, and a white piece landed on the board, instantly killing a whole group of Nuwa's pieces. The Great Dao was severed, and the game ended.

He then calmly took a sip of spiritual tea and said, "Senior Sister, since we're playing chess, don't get distracted. See, you've lost. Quickly hand over the spiritual treasure!"

Nuwa wasn't annoyed. She casually tossed out a spirit pearl, which Donghua caught and examined. He jokingly said, "Senior Sister is truly wealthy. She casually throws out a mid-grade innate spirit treasure. Junior Brother is impressed!"

The wager between the two was a primordial spiritual treasure, but Nuwa's ability to give him a mid-grade spiritual treasure was indeed beyond his expectations.

"The outcome of the struggle for humanity has been decided and cannot be changed. The only variable is the fate of humanity and the merits of Xuanhuang."

At this point, Donghua's eyes turned cold, and he slowly said, "Humanity's fortune only needs to be left forty percent to the human race; the remaining sixty percent is ours, and what we are fighting for is this sixty percent of fortune and merit!"

The overall fortune of humanity is immense. If people can truly gather together, several powerful beings of the Primordial Chaos level will surely emerge, just like the Six Saints.

Nuwa frowned and said, "Isn't forty percent too much? This forty percent power is enough to give birth to two Primordial Chaos beings. Future rulers of humanity cannot be as powerful as the Lich King, otherwise they will surely develop unwarranted ambitions!"

Donghua smiled and asked, "Is this your idea?"

"This is my idea, but the Three Pure Ones think the same way!"

"So how much fortune and merit do you plan to leave for the human race?" At this moment, Donghua finally understood why the human race had become increasingly useless.

The Heavenly Dao has six sages, and the Earthly Dao also has a powerful figure like Houtu, whose strength is in no way inferior to the six sages. This is the result after the Earthly Dao's fortune was divided up.

However, there is not a single Hunyuan expert in the human realm. It is likely that the Three Sovereigns of later generations were either at the peak of Quasi-Saint or had broken through to Quasi-Saint but had not yet attained Hunyuan status.

Donghua didn't actually experience it, so it's hard to judge the Three Sovereigns' specific cultivation level, but the only thing he can be sure of is that they didn't attain the Primordial Chaos Realm.

In fact, the lower his current moral strength is, the better it is for him. First, his imperial position will be more consolidated, and no force in the prehistoric world will ever rival the Heavenly Court again. Second, he will be able to obtain more fortune and merit, which can be used to enhance his strength.

However, such benefits are only immediate benefits, or benefits in the primordial world. But in the entire chaos, there is not only the primordial world, but also three thousand other worlds.

If Donghua wants to go further, break through the Hunyuan realm, and achieve the Great Dao realm, he must take a long-term view and not destroy the potential of the human race just because he is worried that they will threaten his rule.

If that's the case, how can he possibly reach a higher realm in the future, especially since he's cultivating the path of the emperor!

"Senior sister, you and I have both been to the Western God Realm, so the chaos is vast. Sometimes we shouldn't just focus on the primordial world. Humanity should rise up and become the true overlords of humanity, instead of being domesticated like cattle and sheep!"

Nuwa fell silent upon hearing this!

While a deposed human ruler may indeed be in the interests of a sage, allowing them to gain more fortune and merit, this approach is essentially killing the goose that lays the golden eggs—a one-time benefit that cannot last.

The human race will be able to provide them with less and less fortune in the future, so it is indeed a losing proposition.

Thinking of this, Nuwa's eyes shone with a light, and the Dao aura around her manifested. The Great Dao of Creation filled Jingyang Palace, then covered the Heavenly Realm, and subsequently, the Three Thousand Great Daos emerged one by one.

After a long while, Nuwa ended this state, bowed deeply to Donghua, and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Junior Brother. Otherwise, I would have gone astray and never attained the Great Dao!"

Donghua smiled, but inwardly he was horrified. How could these people's talent be so terrifying? Just a few words from him were enough to make Nuwa understand the Dao again. It was truly enviable.

After this enlightenment, Nuwa will no longer face any bottlenecks within the three realms of Hunyuan. She will be able to reach the peak of the three realms simply by letting things take their natural course.

I finally broke through to such a level and was ahead of everyone in the prehistoric world. Was I really going to be surpassed like this?

Donghua's heart was filled with unease for a long time!

Nuwa on the other side felt the same way. In the past, she only acknowledged Donghua's strength, but this time she was truly impressed by Donghua's magnanimity.

"Donghua is indeed suited to be the Primordial Heavenly Emperor!"

The two had their own thoughts, but what they were thinking was completely different.

"Junior brother, do you still remember the promise we made back then?" Nuwa suddenly asked.

Donghua thought for a moment and immediately understood that Nuwa was referring to the Chaos War they had agreed upon!

"Alright, I also want to know just how strong Senior Sister is!"

As soon as they finished speaking, the two disappeared from the celestial realm and reappeared in the outer chaos.

The two traveled through the chaos, and after leaving the primordial world, they began to gather their strength.

The powerful forces of creation and imperial authority caused chaotic turbulence, and endless chaotic storms formed around the two of them, yet they could not affect them in any way.

Nuwa, wielding a red embroidered knife, gathered the power of the Great Dao and unleashed a single slash carrying boundless light of creation. In an instant, it tore through the chaos, and a power that shattered chaos, created heaven and earth, and reversed time and space transformed into endless blade light, hurtling towards Donghua.

The divine light of creation filled the chaos, transforming the dark, mysterious chaos into a kaleidoscope of colors.

Donghua did not retreat, but instead stepped forward. With a thought, the true form of the Heavenly Emperor appeared. He took a step forward, and with this step, invisible ripples spread forward. This was the power of time.

Then a phantom materialized and charged forward again; this was the power of the Great Dao of Space.

Time and space merge!

However, at this moment, the power of spacetime seemed to be more than just spacetime; it also seemed to be the power of the imperial way, and it also seemed to be accompanied by other great principles such as Yin and Yang and the Five Elements.

"The Heavenly Emperor treads upon time!"

This divine power, which was comprehended from the Jade Tablet of Creation, has undergone another transformation in Donghua's hands. He now governs everything with the Emperor's Way, evolving time and space, and time and space are the Emperor's Way.

"boom!"

A deafening roar erupted from the chaos!

Space and time converge, unleashing the power of spacetime. Wherever spacetime passes, it instantly reduces all of Nuwa's attacks to nothingness, leaving no trace of her sword energy.

At this moment, the power of spacetime had not stopped. The phantom, carrying ripples of time, once again attacked Nuwa, attempting to suppress and seal her.

Nuwa frowned slightly upon seeing this, but her hands did not falter at all. She spun her red embroidered knife, gathering the power of time and space, and then unleashed a beam of light that collided with Donghua's power of time and space!

"Buzz!"

The greatest sound is silent; it was as if nothing had happened. All the attacks and strange phenomena vanished into nothingness in this collision.

With this round over, both sides understood each other's strength, so neither rushed to launch the next attack, but instead focused on gathering the power of the Great Dao once again.

Nuwa directly revealed her true form, with a human body and a snake tail. Her enormous true form stood in the chaos, and many spiritual treasures, such as the Lotus Lantern, the Qiankun Cauldron, the Mountain and River Map, and the Nuwa Stone, were successively refined and created.

Donghua didn't overestimate himself. Standing on the Twelve-Petaled Pure White Lotus, with the Heavenly Emperor's Seal above his head and the Heavenly Emperor's Sword in his hand, he launched the first attack.

Swish!

Donghua's figure vanished from his original spot in an instant, and when he reappeared, he was already behind Nuwa, wielding the Heavenly Emperor Sword in his hand, unleashing a terrifying sword beam.

Nuwa was caught off guard and reacted too late. The Lotus Lantern behind her was cleaved away by Donghua's sword, its light dimming instantly and floating silently in the chaos, clearly damaged.

The power of this sword strike did not stop, and it struck Nuwa's true form directly.

"puff!"

Golden primordial blood is splashed across the chaos!

A single drop of blood was enough to suppress the chaotic storm!

Nuwa gently touched the sword wounds on her body, her face full of anger.

She's injured!

She didn't know how long it had been since she had suffered such a serious injury; the last time was when she fought against the true form of Pangu.

Then, a powerful fighting spirit, accompanied by the power of the Great Dao, rushed towards Donghua!

The two instantly clashed!

Under the swords, chaos was torn apart, heaven and earth were created, and earth, fire, water and wind appeared, only to dissipate in the battle.

At a certain moment, Nuwa directly summoned her red embroidered knife, and a red light flashed as it attacked.

"boom!"

With a single swing of his sword, he cleaved the red embroidered ball in two!

Just as Donghua was about to press his advantage, a burst of five-colored light instantly enveloped his entire body, and the powerful force seemed to be suppressing him.

Donghua was shocked. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was a large cauldron radiating five-colored light. However, judging from its Daoist aura, it was clearly a supreme innate treasure. But at this moment, he had no time to think further and directly summoned the Heavenly Emperor Seal to meet it.

"boom!"

When the two collided, the cauldron was sent flying, and the Heavenly Emperor's Seal was also knocked aside.

Just as Donghua was about to attack again, another chaotic, dark light descended, followed by the manifestation of five-colored light around him, and a world directly collided with the Pure World White Lotus.

"Wow!"

The Qiankun Cauldron was turned upside down, directly suppressing Donghua and his sword inside.

Nuwa then flew over, and the map of mountains and rivers in her hand transformed into a world, sealing it at the mouth of the cauldron.

"Am I sealed away?"

Inside the Qiankun Cauldron, Donghua was incredulous; he truly hadn't expected Nuwa to possess such methods.

The world that disrupted its own attack and defense was likely created by Nuwa in an instant, and then the Qiankun Cauldron, which had been waiting for a long time, was overturned and sealed itself.

"A brilliant plan!"

At this moment, Donghua thought of the Six Desires Demon that Nuwa had suppressed and refined in the Western Continent in the past. He guessed that the Six Desires Demon felt the same way he did now.

Despite being of a higher realm than Nuwa, she was still sealed within the Qiankun Cauldron.

Nuwa stood on the seal of the Mountain and River Map, looked at Donghua inside the Qiankun Cauldron, chuckled, and teased, "Junior brother, do you submit?"

Donghua spoke up, "Senior Sister's methods are indeed extraordinary, but what I don't understand is, what was that five-colored cauldron before?"

Nuwa casually recalled the Creation Cauldron that had been knocked away and replied, "This cauldron is called the Creation Cauldron. It is a supreme innate treasure, which I forged using primordial chaos energy!"

Donghua nodded. Nuwa had also obtained innate purple energy and primordial chaos energy in the past. It seemed that this Creation Cauldron was an innate treasure that Nuwa had crafted for herself.

"It seems that Senior Sister has been planning this battle for a long time. She probably even planned out how to deal with me beforehand?"

Nuwa smiled and said, "I never fight a battle I'm not confident of winning!"

Donghua chuckled lightly, teasingly asking, "Does Senior Sister really think this will seal me away?"

Nuwa frowned. She couldn't figure out how Donghua would break free from the seal, using the Qiankun Cauldron, the Mountain and River Map, and her own Great Dao of Creation.

If Donghua can break free from the seal like this, she will truly be convinced!

"Then junior brother can try to break free from the seal!"

Donghua remained silent because he truly could not break free from the seal from within. He had already tried when he was first sealed, but to no avail. To break this seal, one would need at least the strength of the fourth level of the Heavenly Realm.

If he were to use the power of Heaven, he could indeed do it, but in doing so, he would lose this battle.

After all, this is just a competition; what's the point of both sides using the power of Heaven's Dao?

"What will happen to Senior Sister if I break free from the seal?"

Nuwa said, "So be it. I naturally concede defeat in this battle; I am no match for my junior brother!"

The two had already fought before, and he knew he couldn't beat Donghua; the difference between the second and third levels of the Heavenly Realm was truly vast.

"How about we take a gamble?"

"No gambling!"

Nuwa's answer was firm, because she had never won a bet with Donghua.

Donghua laughed heartily, then closed his eyes slightly. The power of the Great Dao surged around him, and the power of the Emperor's Dao filled the Qiankun Cauldron, impacting the seals of the Mountain and River Map and the Qiankun Cauldron.

But it still didn't work after trying many times!

Nuwa laughed, "Junior brother, just give up struggling. I've tried to break this seal; it's impossible without the strength of the fourth level of the Heavenly Realm!"

Nuwa was not lying about this. She had indeed tried to mobilize the power of Heaven before, just as she said, she never fights a battle she is not sure of winning!

But just as Nuwa finished speaking, a beam of light shot out from the chaos.

"when!"

A bell rang out, echoing through the chaos, before striking the Qiankun Cauldron directly. Donghua seized the opportunity, wielding the Heavenly Emperor Sword, and unleashed a golden sword beam.

The Heavenly Emperor Sword and the Heavenly Emperor Seal, two supreme innate treasures, unleash their power simultaneously!

"boom!"

The seal on the Map of Mountains and Rivers has been broken!

Donghua broke free from the cauldron!

Nuwa looked at the Heavenly Emperor's Seal, which had transformed into the shape of the Chaos Bell, and said nothing. She silently put away the Qiankun Cauldron and the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

"I lost this battle!"
