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

The Heavenly Court meeting continued, but everyone felt bored.

"Your Majesty, why can't you be a little tougher!"

This is something almost everyone feels!

For them, seeing a high-ranking saint fall from grace and be instantly brought down from the clouds is more satisfying than seeing someone with advanced cultivation.

As for the conflict between the Heavenly Emperor and the Sages, what business is it of theirs?

It's simply a matter of the Heavenly Emperor managing them, or the Sage managing them, or perhaps the Heavenly Emperor and the Sage managing them together.

For them, it makes no difference!

Sitting on the throne, Donghua looked at the scene before him, his mind in a daze.

Having returned from that initial flash of inspiration and weathered countless storms, he has today officially become the number one person in the primordial world, the undisputed number one.

They also established the Heavenly Court, the undisputed number one power in the primordial world, which dominated the three realms.

Everything seems like it happened yesterday, but countless ages have passed.

From a novice who had just entered the Quasi-Saint realm to a powerful expert at the fifth level of the Primordial Chaos realm, he has witnessed too many successes and failures and met too many saints along the way.

There was once a peerless emperor, the Ziwei Emperor, who created star domains, connected the starry sky, slew ferocious beasts, and punished the wicked, full of vigor and ambition.

There was a peerless goddess named Wang Shu, who emerged from the Taiyin Star, cultivated the divine path, slew ferocious beasts, and possessed unparalleled beauty. She laid the foundation for female cultivators in the primordial world, letting the world know that female cultivators existed in the primordial world.

If there were such a thing as idol worship in the prehistoric world, then Ziwei and Wangshu would have been the most dazzling stars of that time.

These two individuals carried ancient memories. In that era when ferocious beasts roamed freely, and in the years following the fall of the Kunwu Divine Dynasty, they illuminated the path forward, uniting all the gods to resist the beasts.

This led to the later union of the three primordial races, along with countless other races and primordial deities, and the unification of numerous forces to shatter the rule of the rebellious gods.

Ultimately, under the leadership of Hongjun, Luohou, Yin Yang, Wuxing, and others, the first great calamity of the primordial world came to an end.

Later, there were the Ancestral Dragon, the Primordial Phoenix, and the First Qilin, who dominated the world, attacked the innate deities, and made all races submit, dividing the primordial world into three.

At that time, Donghua was merely a mere Great Luo Golden Immortal, still trembling with fear.

And there's Rahu, who swept across the land and once slew dragons, only to become a dragon himself!

At that time, the entire primordial world trembled under Rahu's demonic power, facing either submission or destruction.

Ultimately, the myriad races of the primordial world united once again, forming two major forces that clashed countless times on the vast and boundless primordial continent.

One by one, new innate deities rose up, including the most dazzling Three Pure Ones. The three brothers united as one, starting from Kunlun, and eventually fought their way to the Western Continent.

There was a peerless goddess who, wielding a red embroidered knife, slashed her way from Mount Buzhou all the way to the Western Continent. When she looked back, she was followed by countless people, who called her "Empress".

There was also Di Jun and Tai Yi, who created the demon race. The light of the golden crow eventually shone on the primordial continent, and the demon race they created became synonymous with all races. The once disheveled youth eventually became a generation of emperors.

And then there were the twelve demon gods who emerged from Buzhou Mountain and conquered the world. It was during that time that people remembered what it meant to be truly invincible.

The power of the gods is like the heavens, and the power of the demons is like a prison; these are the gods and the demons!

And there's that ancestor who carries the blood and slaughter!

A king who rises with the wind in a single day!

"..."

Countless geniuses and prodigies stepped forward at that time, while Donghua was merely one of them, neither particularly outstanding nor unsuccessful.

However, he also earned a resounding reputation as Emperor Donghua, the Eastern Wood Lord.

Looking down at the crowd, Donghua was filled with emotion. At this moment, he finally understood what it meant to be:

All that is past; to find truly remarkable figures, look to the present!

"With the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man complete, the Underworld reigns supreme over the realms and the cycle of reincarnation, controlling the endless hells and the rise and fall of all heavens!"

"The human realm is the foundation of the primordial world. The human race is the common master of all races, the master of humanity, and the protagonist of heaven and earth. They are in charge of the creation of all things, the wars between all races, the beginning and end of civilization, and the inheritance of the world."

"Does anyone have any objections?"

This time, Donghua divided the responsibilities and rights between the underworld and the human race, which set a direction.

Everyone began to ponder. After a while, Houtu, Fuxi, and Styx stood up and said:

"We have no objection!"

Donghua nodded in satisfaction. His division of responsibilities between the underworld and the human race was rather vague, because he knew that for every policy, there was a countermeasure.

No matter how well it's said now, there will always be loopholes when it comes to execution. So it's better not to say anything at all, but to first define the direction, let it grow wildly, and then remove the inappropriate parts and subdivide it again.

After establishing the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man, Donghua looked at the sages. Another key point of this meeting was to distribute benefits to the sages.

The allocation was well done, and everyone was convinced of its merits!

Poor allocation will only sow the seeds of future problems for the next great war.

Donghua was never a complacent person, nor did he ever think that the Heavenly Court was invincible.

The Kunwu Divine Dynasty was once so glorious, ruling over all races in the primordial world and dividing them into five categories. Yet, in the great calamity, it too turned into a handful of dust.

In the original timeline, the Jie Sect had countless immortals paying homage, and its members were scattered throughout the prehistoric world. However, during the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, they were all reduced to ashes.

The Heavenly Court is very strong now, and Donghua is also very strong, but who can guarantee that he will still be the invincible being in the next great calamity?

Throughout his journey, Donghua never believed that there were any protagonists in the prehistoric world; he was just an ordinary saint who was blessed by heaven.

In the present primordial world, several sages are indeed no match for him, but that does not mean he has no rivals.

Demon Ancestor Rahu!

And there's the Chaos Demon God!

The most terrifying one is Shen Ni, a truly unkillable being, one that even Hongjun cannot defeat.

It seems that Shenni has been involved in every great primordial calamity, which is definitely a major threat.

Even if he breaks through to the fifth level of the Heavenly Realm and comprehends the Taiji Dao of the Five Primordial Elements, he still has no way to kill Shen Ni.

Therefore, Donghua can act forcefully now, just like he did this time by forcing all the saints to submit, but he must not be arrogant and must know how to be humble.

Until no one can threaten him anymore!

"Gentlemen, I intend to establish four Sages above the Six Emperors, who will jointly govern the Heavenly Court with me, enjoy the fortune of the Heavenly Court and the Three Realms, and draw upon the power of Heaven, Earth, and Man. They will be Sages, ranking below the Heavenly Emperor and above the Six Emperors, and equal to the Heavenly Empress!"

As Donghua finished speaking, the hall fell silent. The people below were concerned about the question, yet they didn't care. After all, judging from the name, this position was specially set up for saints, and they were far from being qualified.

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa is the first saint of the primordial world. She made great contributions to the establishment and development of the Heavenly Court and was conferred the title of the First Saint Venerable of the Heavenly Court."

Nuwa, upon emerging from her body, said, "Thank you, Great Heavenly Venerable!"

This time, Nuwa did not refuse, but gladly accepted.

As Donghua continued to descend, using the Investiture of the Gods as a medium, it connected the Heavenly Way, the Earthly Way, and the Human Way. The three ways converged, and boundless power transformed into the power of rules, which was then bestowed upon Nuwa.

"The power of heavenly rules?"

After accepting this power, Nuwa murmured that she was very familiar with this power of rules and that she could mobilize it herself; it was the power of the Heavenly Dao.

However, this time, the power of rules that Donghua bestowed upon her, along with the power of the Earthly Path and the Human Path, formed the power of Heavenly Rules through the Heavenly Book.

"interesting!"

Nuwa glanced at Donghua and instantly understood this power, as well as Donghua's scheme.

Donghua smiled, offering no explanation, but instead looked at Houtu and said:

"Fellow Daoist Houtu possesses great virtue in the primordial world and has made indelible contributions to the perfection of the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man. She is worthy to be a Holy Venerable of the Heavenly Court, assuming the role of Earthly Sovereign and Earthly Mother, and is exempt from the duties of the Six Emperors!"

Houtu accepted without any hesitation.

A beam of light dissipated, also empowered by the three forces, capable of mobilizing the forces of Heaven, Earth, and Man to form a unique power of Heavenly Laws.

Donghua looked at the remaining saints, and finally his gaze fell on Styx.

The first saint to submit should always be acknowledged, and Styx's fortune and strength are still far inferior to those of the other saints.

"Fellow Daoist Styx has established merits in the perfection of humanity, and by circulating his own Blood Sea, he has improved the primordial world. This is a great act of kindness. He can be a Holy Venerable of the Heavenly Court and enjoy immeasurable fortune and merits."

Styx was overjoyed and readily accepted, saying, "Thank you, Great Heavenly Venerable!"

As Donghua's finger fell, the power of Heaven, Earth, and Man converged and ultimately blessed Styx.

Styx sensed the power of the rules and finally fixed his gaze on Fuxi and Zhunti. With the blessing of the three paths of Heaven, Earth and Man, he reserved his opinion on Lao Mo's identity.

Donghua looked at Fuxi and said, "Human Emperor Fuxi has achieved the perfection of humanity, which is of great merit to the Heavenly Court. He can be made a Holy Venerable and relieved of the position of one of the Six Emperors."

"Thank you, Great Heavenly Venerable!"

Fuxi's calm face showed no emotion, but the position of Saint Venerable could not be bypassed by him.

With the enfeoffment of Donghua, two of the Six Emperors were instantly lost, and above the Six Emperors came four Holy Venerables, each of whom was a Primordial Saint, and in terms of strength and power, they were all top-tier beings in the Primordial World.

Just as Donghua had originally thought, he could have four emperors or eight emperors if he wanted to.

Donghua looked at Jieyin and Zhunti, and was about to say something when Zhunti spoke first:

"Your Excellency, my brother and I have no intention of serving in the Heavenly Court. We only wish for the rise of the West. This world advancement presents a great opportunity for the West. Please forgive us, Your Excellency!"

Donghua looked calmly at Zhunti. What Zhunti had just said was both within his expectations and unexpected.

Jieyin and Zhunti, the Three Pure Ones might submit, but they would not accept the Heavenly Court's bestowal of titles; otherwise, they would never have the possibility of surpassing Donghua in the prehistoric world.

Nuwa accepted because her goal was no longer the primordial world, but chaos, a fact that Donghua had long ago discerned.

After Zhunti finished speaking, he waited for Donghua's reply, but after waiting for a long time, he did not receive one. Instead, Donghua calmly looked at the two of them.

Jieyin sighed, knowing that his and his fellow disciples' plan had been exposed, and could only speak first.

"Your Excellency, my fellow disciple and I have gained some insights from this attainment of the Three Paths of Perfection. We have forged our own path and wish to establish another school, distinct from the Xuanmen (Taoist school), which is the Buddhist school!"

The unhurried voice of the guide resounded throughout the Lingxiao Hall, leaving everyone stunned for a long time.

Jieyin and Zhunti actually betrayed the Taoist sect and established the Buddhist sect.

At this moment, even the Supreme Being looked at the two of them, his eyes filled with boundless killing intent.
