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

Chapter 275 The Three Pure Ones' Defeat, Victory

The banquet in the Great Luo Heaven continued, and everyone was immersed in joy. Some people were discussing the Great Dao with each other, and everyone was waiting for Donghua and others to start their lectures on the Great Dao. So everyone was in a good mood.

As for the spiritual fruits and wines in front of them, although they are precious, they are not enough to make them succumb to temptation.

However, what they did not expect was that Donghua and the Six Saints above had secretly sealed the fate of humanity.

Zhunti snapped out of his shock and looked at Taishang with a grim expression. He had already figured out what had happened during the attack.

This shows that Taishang had been wary of the two of them all along, and he knew their weaknesses perfectly well. That move just now was spot on, and he still felt a sense of lingering fear when he thought about it.

Zhunti fixed his gaze on Donghua. He was well aware of Donghua and Nuwa's thoughts, but he had no choice but to get involved.

The fortune and merit brought by the Three Sovereigns far exceeded those of the Five Emperors, so he would not give up as long as there was even the slightest chance.

Zhunti looked at Yuanshi and said, "Senior Brother Yuanshi, our Western Continent is also part of the Primordial World. My senior brother and I are also disciples of the Xuanmen Sect and Daoist Venerables of the Xuanmen Sect. The eight hundred unorthodox techniques were also personally taught by our Master!"

"I don't care how you viewed us and the West before, but if you say such things again, I, Zhunti, will not forgive you. We are both Primordial Saints, so let's be mindful of our words!"

These words were even more exciting than when he had just tried to drag Yuanshi to Zixiao Palace. Donghua looked at Zhunti in front of him as if he were seeing this future Buddha Mother of Buddhism for the first time.

"These two are indeed capable of separating Buddhism from Xuanmen and establishing Buddhism as a separate sect in the future. Especially Jieyin, whose strength is truly terrifying. He can achieve the Great Dream of Three Thousand, the Three Thousand combined into one, and the Nirvana of Nothingness."

Upon hearing Zhunti's words, Yuanshi's face turned extremely ugly. This was the first time he had been threatened, and the person threatening him was none other than Zhunti, whom he had always looked down upon.

The Great Dao around Yuanshi appeared and disappeared intermittently, clearly indicating that he had reached his limit of endurance, and perhaps the Pangu Banner would be released in the next moment.

Jieyin said "Excellent, excellent," and then continued, "I agree with what my Supreme Brother just said. The last Human Emperor will be proposed by us in the West, but the three religions can also compete for it. Whoever wins and whoever loses will be decided in due time!"

"good!"

"Who are the candidates you've nominated?"

After thinking for a moment, Jieyin secretly communicated with Zhunti, and after a long while said, "The Heavenly Emperor, the Earthly Emperor, and the Human Emperor were the first three to be born into the human race. These three also had a great connection with Senior Sister Nuwa and Senior Brother Donghua. Now that the Human Emperor has perished, and the Earthly Emperor's personality is not suitable for the position of Human Emperor, I propose the Heavenly Emperor of the human race as the candidate!"

What are your thoughts, fellow senior students?

Without a second thought, Donghua replied, "That's excellent! If none of the three emperors of the human race were truly human, it would be a laughingstock. If the Heavenly Emperor could ascend to the throne of the human emperor, that would indeed be wonderful!"

Nuwa smiled and said, "I am deeply grateful for the kind intentions of my two junior brothers, and I support their opinion."

The Three Pure Ones instantly understood. It seemed that these people had planned this all along, and even the introduction of Zhunti into the scheme was part of their plan.

It's true that if you're quick at one step, you'll be quick at every step!

Taishang sighed. At this point, there was no other way. If they refused again, it would be a 4v3 battle. Donghua, Nuwa, and Jieyin were all very strong, and the three brothers really couldn't win.

Looking at the four people in front of them, the only option was to divide and conquer them. They couldn't let them continue to unite, otherwise the three of them would always be at a disadvantage.

"In that case, we accept the throne as the last emperor!"

After Taishang finished speaking, he looked at Donghua with a deep gaze and asked, "I wonder how Junior Brother Donghua intends to arrange things for Hongyun and Fuxi?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed. Yuanshi and Tongtian looked like they were watching a show, while Nuwa also seemed a little anxious, as this was the issue she was most concerned about.

Jieyin and Zhunti looked at Donghua, wondering how Donghua should resolve this matter. If not handled properly, either the alliance would break down, or Donghua would lose the support of the people.

It seems like this is an unsolvable problem!

Donghua laughed heartily, completely unconcerned about the Three Pure Ones' scheme, because he had already made preparations. Fortunately, he and Hongyun had discussed it in advance, otherwise they would have really suffered today.

With a thought, Donghua instantly pulled Fuxi and Hongyun into the conversation among the group.

As soon as their divine senses entered, both of them seemed a little lost. They could sense that the atmosphere in the room was not good, and the pressure emanating from each person was really strong, making it difficult for Fuxi and Hongyun to adapt.

"Fellow Daoist Fuxi, I wish for you to be reincarnated as the first Human Emperor of the Human Path and the Human Race, leading the Human Race to subdue and embrace all other races, thus becoming the protagonist of Heaven and Earth, and establishing the great trend of the Human Path. Is this your wish?"

Upon hearing this, Fuxi smiled happily. He had long known that the first human emperor had been able to attain the Primordial Chaos, so how could he not be happy? He was about to say something when he saw Hongyun beside him and immediately understood.

Fuxi was an exceptionally intelligent man, and upon seeing the atmosphere and the red clouds, he instantly understood the whole story.

"Fellow Daoist Donghua, Great Heavenly Venerable, and all the Sages, Fuxi's fortune is too shallow to be worthy of the first Human Emperor's throne. Fellow Daoist Hongyun's cultivation and character are both of the highest caliber, so let Fellow Daoist Hongyun sit on the throne of the first Human Emperor!"

Making this decision was painful and difficult for Fuxi, but he knew the situation of Donghua and his younger sister and did not want to put them in a difficult position, so he had no choice but to do so.

Fuxi's words stunned the Three Pure Ones. They couldn't believe that anyone could resist the temptation of Hunyuan. Was Fuxi a fool?

Nuwa looked anxiously at Fuxi, about to say something, but Fuxi's firm expression showed that he had made up his mind, so she didn't say anything.

The first human emperor did indeed have the possibility of attaining the Primordial Chaos Realm, but it was only a possibility, not a certainty. Even Fuxi himself gave up on it, so how could he possibly attain the Primordial Chaos Realm?

As Fuxi finished speaking, the scene fell silent for a moment.

Suddenly, a laugh rang out; it was Hongyun!

Hongyun looked at everyone and said, "I appreciate Fellow Daoist Fuxi's kindness. In fact, Fellow Daoist Donghua had already discussed this matter with me before. He said that as long as I am willing to be the first Human Emperor, he will fully support me."

"But I had already given up at that time. The responsibility of being the first emperor is too great, and my carefree heart is really not suited for it."

At this point, Hongyun looked at Fuxi and calmly said, "Although I chose the position of the second Human Emperor myself, I still have some reservations. After all, it is the position of Primordial Chaos; who could easily give it up?"

"But after hearing what Fellow Daoist Fuxi said just now, the last trace of resentment in my heart has vanished. Fellow Daoist is indeed suitable for the position of the first Human Emperor."

quiet!

silence!

This space of divine consciousness was utterly silent!

The Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, Zhunti, Nuwa, and others all looked at Fuxi and Hongyun with expressions of utter disbelief.

Outrageous!

Outrageous!

Who would have thought that the throne of the Human Emperor, the position of the Supreme Being, would be passed around among people?

The Three Pure Ones looked as if they had eaten a mouthful of hot excrement, their expressions extremely ugly, and even the Heavenly Emperor wore an expression of disbelief.

Fuxi turned around to look at Hongyun, wanting to say something, but Hongyun stopped him.

"Fellow Daoist Fuxi, please do not speak further. In the past, we were fellow Daoists who drove out the demon race. Later, we listened to the Dao together in Zixiao Palace and were both students of the Dao Ancestor. Now we can be considered as fellow ministers in the same palace, sharing a bond of brotherhood. In the future, we will both be reincarnated as humans, which can also be considered as a bond of kinship!"

Hongyun's sincere words moved not only Fuxi, but also Donghua and the others.

At this moment, Hongyun seemed to radiate light, illuminating Donghua, Sanqing, and the others in the dust. They were all scheming, but never thought that they were fellow disciples.

The terms "senior brother," "senior sister," and "junior brother" that we usually use to address each other seem like a huge irony at this moment.

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, your noble character is truly admirable!"

Tongtian was the first to speak. He was a man of strong emotions, and although he didn't understand Hongyun's personality, he admired him greatly.

Yuanshi and Taishang didn't say anything more. They had thought of everything except the human heart.

I thought that the conflict between Fuxi and Hongyun would break the alliance between Nuwa and Donghua, and would also alienate Donghua and his subordinates. This was an open scheme, an unsolvable one.

But unexpectedly, this open scheme ultimately failed due to the influence of people's hearts!

Indeed, the Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and by removing one, anything is possible!

Fuxi said in a deep voice, "Very well, I, Fuxi, am deeply grateful for Fellow Daoist Hongyun's kindness. I will be the first Human Emperor. After you are reincarnated as a human, I will personally protect my younger brother, even if it means my own death!"

Hongyun laughed and said, "Then I'll wait and see what my brother has to offer, and then I'll reap the rewards!"

Even though the two haven't been reincarnated as humans yet, they're already addressing each other as imperial brothers.

But no one laughed at them!

Because Donghua, the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and others are not worthy!

Jieyin and Zhunti are a good match; their relationship is truly the best in the primordial world!

Donghua waved his hand to disperse this space of divine consciousness, and his divine consciousness returned to the main hall. At this time, the banquet was coming to an end.

"Today, all of you esteemed masters have graced my Heavenly Court with your presence. It is a great honor for Donghua. Coincidentally, our senior brothers Sanqing and junior brothers Jieyin and Zhunti have just begun their creation of the Heavens. Donghua, with all due respect, would like to invite our three senior brothers and two junior brothers to expound on the Primordial Dao. What do you say?"

The Three Pure Ones, Jieyin and Zhunti instantly regained their unfathomable appearance, their saintly aura overwhelming the entire scene, and all traces of the previous conflict vanished.

The Supreme One spoke up, "How could I refuse my junior brother's invitation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the innate supreme treasure, the Taiji Diagram, appeared in the sky, covering the entire hall. Three flowers appeared, auspicious clouds emerged, and the Three Thousand Great Daos and the Three Paths of Immortals, Gods, and Demons began to evolve.

Donghua waved his hand and removed the tables, chairs, and cloud-shaped beds from the main hall, with some futons falling into the hall.

The crowd quickly sat down and began to listen to the sermon!

"Of all things, none is greater than heaven and earth, yet even they have their limits."

"The heavens are vast, encompassing both yin and yang; the earth is vast, encompassing both hardness and softness. When yin and yang are exhausted, the four seasons are formed; when hardness and softness are exhausted, the four cardinal directions are formed."

Taishang began to expound his Great Dao from the perspective of Yin and Yang and Taiji.

Subsequently, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti successively expounded on the Great Dao, and finally Donghua concluded the discourse!

The banquet has come to a successful conclusion!

The banquet was a great success, but the Three Pure Ones' hearts were filled with extreme complexity, and they had no joy at attaining enlightenment and sainthood.

This time, they suffered a crushing defeat!

The selection of the Three Sovereigns was entirely based on the ideas of Donghua and Nuwa; they were involved, yet it seemed they weren't.

"Brother, what should we do now?"

As soon as he left the Heavenly Realm, Yuanshi asked impatiently. This time, his hatred for Zhunti had reached its peak, even surpassing his dislike for Donghua.

The Supreme Lord said, "Now that things have come to this, we can only take it one step at a time. Hongyun was proposed by us, so this fortune and merit belong to us. Donghua wouldn't dare to make any further trouble in this matter!"

"As for Fuxi, Nuwa and Donghua will definitely intervene personally to help him attain the Primordial Chaos Realm, making it very difficult for us to have a chance!"

"Now, only the last Heavenly Emperor remains. When that time comes, we'll have a good fight with our two Western Daoists and show them that this great event in the primordial world is beyond their control!"

Upon hearing Taishang's analysis, Yuanshi and Tongtian nodded, realizing that this was the only way things could be now.

Yuanshi Tianzun angrily declared, "Fine! I'll make sure Zhunti learns his lesson!"

Tongtian didn't say anything, but kept thinking about the methods Donghua had just displayed. He had tested Donghua's strength before, but his divine sense had sunk to the bottom of the sea and he hadn't found anything.

"This battle will have to be postponed!"

……

In the Great Luo Heaven, with the departure of the Three Pure Ones, all the powerful beings in the main hall also left. Now, only the people of the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Emperor of the Human Race, Jieyin Zhunti, and Nuwa remain.

"Junior Brother Donghua, congratulations! Everything you wished for has come true!" Nuwa said with a smile.

In this humanitarian struggle, she and Donghua have every advantage; now all that remains is the final practical action.

Donghua didn't say anything, but looked at Jieyin and Zhunti and said, "Thank you both for your help this time. The fortune and merit of the Heavenly Emperor becoming the Human Emperor can all belong to you!"

Zhunti smiled and said, "We should be thanking Fellow Daoist Donghua. If it weren't for your invitation, this battle for humanity would have been out of our reach in the West. Now, even though we will be competing with the three religions, we have at least had a chance."

Sometimes, all that's missing is this kind of opportunity!

They are not afraid of competing with the three religions; what they fear is not having the opportunity. If they fail in the competition, it simply means they are not skilled enough, and there is nothing more to say.

Donghua looked at the Emperor and said, "As you can see, in this struggle for humanity, both the Six Sages and I have chosen your human race. This is both a good thing and a bad thing for you."

"The advantage is that the human race can stand out from all other races and become the protagonist of heaven and earth. The disadvantage is that a large part of the human destiny that originally belonged exclusively to your human race will be divided up."

"The human race will have three sovereigns and five emperors. The three sovereigns will rise and the five emperors will rule the world. Fellow Daoist Fuxi and Fellow Daoist Hongyun will be reincarnated as human beings and become the first and second human emperors. You are the third human emperor."

What's your opinion on this?

At this moment, the Emperor felt both happy and disappointed. He was happy that the human race could rise up without him having to do anything, but he was disappointed that the human race had no power to resist the Heavenly Emperor and the Six Sages.

They can support the human race today, but if the human race becomes disobedient in the future, they will support other races as well. Helpless and powerless!

However, as the current emperor of the human race, he had no way to change the situation and could only watch helplessly as everyone divided up the human destiny and merits.

The Emperor then said, "Teacher, Holy Mother, the human race was born because of you. No matter what, please don't let the human race become a laughing stock."

"When Senior Fuxi is reincarnated, I will relinquish my position as Emperor of the Human Race and help him attain enlightenment."

Donghua nodded. The Emperor was very sensible and knew when to advance and retreat. This was the best situation Donghua could achieve.

Otherwise, following the original trajectory, the human race would not have a single Hunyuan.

It's already quite difficult to produce a Hunyuan (Primordial Being) these days, and that's the bottom line for the other Sages; otherwise, Donghua alone would have to deal with the six Sages.
