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

The birth of Rahu completely shocked all cultivators in the prehistoric world, and the fear of being dominated by the demon race and Rahu once again took hold of their hearts.

Many cultivators no longer cared about dignity or face, and were even more unaware of the rules. Some came to the Heavenly Court, clamoring to see the Six Emperors and the Holy Venerable, while many others directly requested to see Donghua.

Some cultivators also came to Kunlun Mountain, Jin'ao Island, and the Supreme Daoist Temple Taixuan Mountain, where all sorts of bizarre things happened frequently.

This shows that the fearsome reputation of the Demon Ancestor Rahu can indeed stop children from crying at night.

But no matter what, the peaceful wilderness is now in turmoil!

Donghua ignored those who came to the Heavenly Court seeking help and determined to eliminate demons, and simply persuaded them to leave.

It wasn't that he didn't want to fight Rahu, but that he couldn't find Rahu, and he wanted to kill Rahu more than anyone else.

Judging from the commotion caused by Rahu's birth that day, his cultivation had already broken through to the sixth level of the Primordial Chaos Realm, and his strength was above mine. It would be best if I could strike first.

Having just returned, Rahu must be in a weakened state, and he is fully confident that he can defeat him.

However, after experiencing two failures, Rahu became wiser and did not make a big show of himself when he was born, but instead hid away.

After Luo Hou was born, Donghua went to the Nine Netherworld Demon Realm, but he did not find any trace of him. He also searched the entire prehistoric world, but still could not find him.

According to his speculation, Luo Hou must have left the prehistoric world and was lurking in the chaos, familiarizing himself with his own power.

"Letting things take their natural course is fine too!"

"However, we still need to plan ahead; Rahu is not a man who will rest on his laurels."

Donghua murmured something, then left the Heavenly Realm and arrived in Chendu, the capital of the human race.

"What important matter brings the Great Celestial Venerable here?"

Fuxi personally poured tea for Donghua, and the two sat facing each other. Time seemed to have returned to the time when they sat in the Purple Palace of the East Sea, where they often discussed the Dao.

In fact, Donghua didn't want to come to Fuxi at this time, or rather, he wanted Fuxi to come to him.

This time, the purpose is the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array, which was originally discussed with Nuwa to return chaos to its original state. It is also to create a natural barrier for the prehistoric world and protect it.

Whether it was because Fuxi was patient or because he was too busy, he hadn't come to see Donghua, so he had to go in person.

"The spiritual energy of the primordial world has now recovered to that of ancient times, but with the squandering of cultivators, it will eventually decline. Therefore, I have come today for the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array."

"I intend to set up the Great Celestial Array in the starry sky, transforming chaos into the primordial state, using the celestial array as a barrier to protect the safety of the primordial world!"

Upon hearing this, Fuxi fell silent, a rare occurrence. Nuwa had indeed mentioned this matter to him, originally intending it as a backup plan for his path to enlightenment.

Unexpectedly, his path to enlightenment went very smoothly. He caught a good opportunity, as the Three Pure Ones and others were not in the prehistoric world, but were cultivating in the land of Dao Origin.

Therefore, he did not take the setting up of the Zhou Tian Star Array seriously, but focused on cultivation. It was not that he neglected Donghua, nor would he dare to.

However, to his surprise, Donghua actually came to his door.

Only now do I understand why Donghua values ​​this matter so much; it's because what he wants to build is not just a Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array that returns to the innate state.

Instead, it uses the starry sky as a map and the stars of the universe as pieces, arranging them into a grand array of stars that covers the entire sky and overlooks the primordial world.

If this formation is completed, the Heavenly Court will be able to use the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation to monitor any place in the prehistoric world, and the Heavenly Court's troops will also be able to reach any place through the formation.

Most importantly, this formation can isolate the inside from the outside, that is, it separates the Primordial World from the Chaos. In the future, if a great supernatural being of the Primordial World wants to leave the Primordial World and go to the Chaos Land, he must obtain the consent of the Heavenly Court.

Otherwise, the Zhou Tian Star Array would no longer be protecting the primordial world, but would instead fall upon those who forcefully venture into the chaos.

Of course, no matter how powerful this formation is, it cannot monitor the Primordial Saint, nor can it prevent the Primordial Saint from leaving the prehistoric world.

But what does it matter?

There were only a handful of Primordial Saints in the entire primordial world!

Thinking of this, Fuxi took a deep look at Donghua. He could no longer see his former friend clearly; looking at him was like looking into an abyss or a prison.

This has nothing to do with cultivation level, but is simply about planning. He handles everything with ease, and can change the situation of the primordial world with a casual arrangement.

That's really scary!

Although the general trend of the primordial world is irreversible, what exactly is this general trend?

The three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man in the primordial world constitute the grand trend!

Therefore, the Tao is the general trend!

But the great trends of the world are reflected in people, and even the Tao is something that people cultivate.

As the ruler of the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man, and the Great Heavenly Emperor of the Primordial World, Donghua commands the submission of the three realms. Even the Primordial Saint now submits to the Heavenly Emperor.

In the present prehistoric world, it is no exaggeration to say that Donghua is the most powerful force. As long as Donghua does not want to destroy the prehistoric world, no one can kill him, not even seal him.

Hongjun is powerful, but he is also the representative of the Heavenly Dao. If he wanted to seal Donghua, even the Heavenly Dao would probably not allow it.

Therefore, Donghua has no solution!

This is also the real reason why so many sages in the Great Luo Heaven submit to him.

Because further resistance is pointless, half of the power in the Three Realms is already in their hands, and uniting again is useless unless they can truly defeat Donghua.

But we really can't beat them!

"What? Fellow Daoist Fuxi has a different opinion?" Donghua asked with a smile when he saw Fuxi staring intently at him without saying a word.

Fuxi shook his head, withdrew his gaze, took a sip of tea, and then said:

"I have no objection to this matter, but it is quite difficult to actually do it."

"The Zhou Tian Star Array, which Emperor Jun and Taiyi once set up, was merely based on 365 main stars. It drew upon the power of the Zhou Tian stars, combining their primordial energy for unparalleled offensive power!"

"The Great Celestial Venerable's current plan to set up the Zhou Tian Star Array is quite the opposite. Killing is not important; the most important thing is its function: to return chaos to its original state."

"Using the starry sky as a map and the stars as an array, it covers the entire primordial world and must also possess defensive capabilities to resist the chaos."

"However, the defense is also the simplest. If this formation is completed and fully activated, even ordinary Hunyuan cultivators cannot withstand it."

"The real challenge lies in the grand formation itself!"

"If the Great Celestial Venerable wants to set up the Zhou Tian Star Array in his mind, then it is not enough to just have 365 main stars; he also needs to mobilize the remaining 48,000 auxiliary stars in order to cover the entire prehistoric world."

Donghua nodded silently. What Fuxi said perfectly matched his vision of the Zhou Tian Star Array. It was so much easier to talk to a smart person.

Fuxi's idea was not wrong at all. The Zhou Tian Star Array he wanted to set up was to install a monitoring system for the prehistoric world, that is, a satellite that could cover the prehistoric world.

Its offensive and defensive capabilities are not important; what matters most is its functionality.

Another point that Fuxi did not anticipate was that he also wanted to establish a network connecting the primordial world based on the Zhou Tian Star Array.

And all of this is inseparable from two spiritual treasures, namely the Hetu Luoshu!

And the most important person to accomplish all of this.

One of them is the one who deduces the formation!

One of them is the person who operates the formation!

He could deduce the new Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array by himself, but it would take too much time, so he would need someone's help.

Fuxi is one person you can never avoid, and another is Tongtian.

A grand array of stars and constellations, derived by Donghua, Fuxi, and Tongtian.

But the person who operates the great formation is the one who faces the greatest difficulty!

If the stars are used as the foundation of the formation, then the person in charge of the formation must be a star lord.

Currently, half of the Star Lords are still empty. These Star Gods cannot be appointed as so easily; they must have suitable destinies.

If he's missing ten or eight, it's no big deal; he can easily change his fate. Even if he's missing one or two hundred, he can still manage it.

But now he's short of 10,000 or 20,000, which he really can't do. Even if he could, he doesn't want to go against the tide.

If he really succeeds, Hongjun will probably use the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder to blast him to death and reincarnate in the next moment.

"Fellow Daoist is right. The most difficult thing now is still the human element. The prehistoric world has gone through several great calamities, and half of the Star Lords are missing. It is indeed impossible to operate the Zhou Tian Star Array."

"However, for now, the most important thing is to calculate the new Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array. As for the personnel, I will take care of that!"

Fuxi's eyes lit up, and he asked, "I wonder what method the Great Celestial Venerable has? Is it truly necessary to defy fate?"

Donghua laughed heartily and said, "No, no! As the Heavenly Emperor and the Great Celestial Venerable, if I were to defy Heaven, wouldn't that be tantamount to rebelling against myself? How could I possibly do such a thing!"

"Then what does the Great Celestial Venerable mean?"

Donghua slowly rose from his seat, walked to the window, looked up at the sky from outside the hall, and said in a deep voice:

"Investiture of the Gods!"

"Investiture of the Gods?" Fuxi exclaimed in surprise, and got up to come to Donghua's side.

He didn't know what Donghua meant, but he had never seen the other party so solemn.

The Heavenly Court has already conducted two large-scale investiture ceremonies, so the investiture of gods is nothing new.

"Yes, it's the Investiture of the Gods, a truly unprecedented event!"

Donghua turned around and looked at Fuxi beside him, saying, "Now that the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man have reached perfection and the Primordial World has advanced, the immortals and gods who once fell should soon be reincarnated and return, including some innate saints who fell in the ancient times."

"boom!"

Donghua's words resonated deeply with Fuxi. He gave Donghua a long look, then immediately summoned the Hetu and Luoshu, and a set of eight trigrams rose up.

The Great Dao of the Eight Trigrams operates, the Hetu and Luoshu slowly unfold, the trigrams open, and the secrets of heaven are revealed.

The three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man appeared together on the Hetu and Luoshu, and Fuxi once again exerted all his strength to try to find out what was going on.

But at this moment, the backlash from the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man came. The three paths manifested on the River of Time and the River of Destiny, and a wave rolled over, directly knocking Fuxi back.

"puff!"

He spat out a mouthful of holy blood!

"How could this happen?"

"How could this happen?"

Why is it like this?

Fuxi murmured, as if he couldn't believe it.

Upon seeing this, Donghua pointed a finger, and the three backlashes vanished without a trace.

"Great Celestial Venerable, the Lich War has just passed, is a new calamity about to descend? How could it be so soon!"

Fuxi asked in disbelief, finding it utterly unbelievable, and a sense of fear instantly arose within him.

It's not fear of a great calamity, but fear of the unknown.

You must know that he is now the Primordial Human Emperor, the Lord of Humanity, yet he couldn't even predict this great calamity.

Donghua patted Fuxi on the shoulder and said softly, "Don't overthink it. This great calamity has not yet arrived; it's just an experiment by me."

"The heavenly secrets you've deduced are merely the heavenly secrets I want you to know!"

"What do you mean?" Fuxi asked.

Donghua slowly said, "Do you still remember Shen Ni who appeared in the Taiyi body in the past? This time, I want to use his power to artificially create a great calamity."

"I call it: The Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods!"

"Firstly, it's for the sake of those returning immortals and gods, to bestow divine titles upon them!"

"Secondly, we want to explore the power of the Divine Rebellion to see if we can resolve this calamity. Otherwise, the primordial world will continue to experience calamities one after another until the immeasurable calamity arrives."

"And I, as the Lord of the Primordial World, the Great Heavenly Emperor, have an inescapable responsibility!"

After hearing this, Fuxi was at a loss. He didn't know if this was Donghua's true thought, but in any case, he had no other choice.

The only option is to get on Donghua's pirate ship!

"I am willing to serve the Great Heavenly Venerable!"

Donghua laughed heartily, gently patted Fuxi's shoulder, and said, "Everything is for the sake of the primordial world, everything is for the sake of the Great Dao. You and I are fellow Daoists, and we should encourage each other!"

Fuxi smiled bitterly, then asked, "When will the Great Heavenly Venerable initiate the Investiture of the Gods?"

Donghua shook his head and said, "This matter cannot be rushed. We must wait for a suitable opportunity, for the arrival of a great era for cultivation, and for the return of all the immortals and gods!"

"However, I estimate that day is not far off. It will either be during the term of the next emperor or the last emperor, when those immortals and gods who have fallen will return."

"At that time, I will hang the Heavenly Book and the Investiture of the Gods, and carry out a comprehensive investiture of the gods throughout the primordial world, perfect the Heavenly Court, and rule the world with gods."

"Great idea!" Fuxi exclaimed in approval.

He was very clear about the function of the Heavenly Book and the Investiture of the Gods. Now that the Heavenly Court was powerful, the Heavenly Book was equivalent to a supreme treasure in Donghua's hands.

With the Heavenly Book of Investiture of the Gods, this man-made calamity was completely under control.

"This is absolutely a perfect plan!"

After some mental calculation, Fuxi couldn't help but admire Donghua, his eyes filled with reverence.

"I wonder which immortals and gods will return this time; I'm truly looking forward to it!"

Donghua laughed and said, "Don't worry, some old friends will return. However, the more ancient and powerful they are, the harder it is for them to return. It all depends on who has the best luck!"

……

P.S.: I'd like to write a different version of Investiture of the Gods. What do you think?
