Back then, among the many powerful beings who came to the Nine Netherworld Reincarnation to listen to the Dao, regardless of whether Styx had the position of Lord of the Asura Path, it can be said without a doubt that the position of Earthly Saint was specially tailor-made for Styx.
However, because Styx was obsessed with killing saints to prove his Dao, Houtu did not insist on inviting him. Instead, she waited for him to become a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian before inviting him to serve as a Daoist saint.
As the three departed, Hongjun's gaze sharpened, causing the surrounding atmosphere to freeze, as if a chill had swept through.
Shen Du glared at him, and their eyes met in a sudden, intense stare, causing the saints and the Grand Luo Immortals in the Purple Cloud Palace to shiver involuntarily.
Their argument thus came to an end.
"What do you mean, fellow Daoist?!" Hongjun's voice was indifferent, as if questioning why the Heavenly Court's Investiture of the Gods was destroyed.
In contrast, Shen Du, with an indifferent attitude, spread his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist, you already understand my meaning, why ask?!"
"Let's discuss how to rebuild the Heavenly Court!"
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the Three Pure Ones, the Three Ancestors, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and the Two Sages of the West below flashed with sharp divine light.
With a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, all he wanted was to seize the throne of Heaven.
"Humph!"
Hongjun let out a cold snort, and then a wisp of light flashed from his fingertip, gradually transforming into the Investiture of the Gods, which had been destroyed by Sun Wukong.
It is, after all, a divine book; how could it be destroyed because of this?
But it's not as good as before.
Just as Hongjun was about to speak, Shendu, quick as a flash, said calmly, "Fellow Daoist, there's no need to use the Heavenly Book of Investiture of the Gods for the matter of re-establishing the Heavenly Court!"
"The saints and golden immortals present here, I think, all desire the exalted positions in the Heavenly Court."
Upon hearing this, the Ancestral Dragon spoke up, "My Dragon Clan desires one of the Six Emperors of Heaven, the Eastern Azure Emperor, and in addition, we also wish to control the power to control the clouds and rain throughout the primordial world!"
"My Qilin clan controls the primordial earth veins."
"My Phoenix Clan, in charge."
"I expound the teachings"
"I am the Intercepting Sect"
"My demon race"
"..."
As soon as he said that, almost everyone in Zixiao Palace spoke up and volunteered to take the order.
After a few words, all the positions in the Heavenly Court were divided up.
Even the position of the Jade Emperor, the ruler of the Three Realms, has been erased by them and replaced by the Heavenly Emperor.
Haotian Yaochi, standing here, watched with faces flushed red, his heart burning with rage, yet he dared not rebuke those who had seized power from the Heavenly Court.
Simply because none of them were people they could afford to offend.
In the end, Haotian Yaochi could only look ahead at Hongjun, who was surrounded by three thousand Heavenly Dao Laws, and cried out, "Master, they have gone too far! Please, Master, do justice for us!"
He cried out, causing Sanqing and the others to roll their eyes.
He was crying and sobbing, showing no trace of the demeanor of a primordial emperor.
Realizing this, Yuanshi Tianzun of the Chan Sect, who already disapproved of Haotian Yaochi's complaint, directly said, "In this manner, do you, the Primordial Heavenly Emperor, deserve to sit here?!"
"Why don't we change it as soon as possible!"
"In my opinion, Guang Chengzi, the head of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, is the teacher of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan and also a Golden Immortal of Fortune and Virtue!"
"This throne of Heavenly Emperor should be occupied by my first disciple, Guang Chengzi!"
As these words fell, Haotian Yaochi turned and glared angrily at Yuanshi.
Unfortunately, Yuanshi Tianzun adopted a fearless attitude, showing no fear of the gazes of the two ants.
Even when Hongjun's gaze fell upon him, Yuanshi remained indifferent.
Why is that?!
This is because, during the last time the Three Pure Ones merged into one, Pangu's primordial spirit appeared.
The Fallen Saint Pill that Hongjun used to control the Three Pure Ones within their bodies had already turned to dust.
Moreover, the Three Pure Ones had a feeling that as long as their primordial spirits merged and they summoned their father god Pangu, no living being in the primordial world would be their match.
Even if this being merged with the Dao, Hongjun, their teacher, could not possibly be a match for Pangu's primordial spirit.
However, calling him a teacher shows a great deal of respect for Hongjun.
Since the end of the Investiture of the Gods war, when he was deceived into swallowing the Fallen Saint Pill, the bond between master and disciple had already fractured.
If it weren't for the difference in strength, and the need to avoid a complete falling out, things wouldn't have come to this!
"In my opinion, the position of Heaven should be held by a member of the demon race."
Upon hearing this, Hongjun sternly declared, "The sins of the demon race are evident in the past, and the lich and demon are already a stark reminder of them. How can the living beings of this world tolerate a member of the demon race serving as the Primordial Heavenly Emperor again!"
"Fellow Daoist Shen Du, your words are unacceptable!"
A demon becomes the Heavenly Emperor?!
Do you want to plunge the primordial world into conflict once again?!
"Then who will take on this role?!"
"Your disciple, fellow Daoist?"
"The Jade Pool of Haotian?!"
Shen Du asked back leisurely, without feeling any sense of impropriety.
After all, Hongjun's selfish motives were practically common knowledge.
When discussing the re-establishment of the Heavenly Court, all six sages had put forward their candidates, but the old fox Hongjun chose none of them, opting instead for his own attendant, Haotian Yaochi.
"This"
Hongjun's gaze fell into deep thought. He glanced at Haotian Yaochi below, who was crying out in distress, and felt a pang of pity.
However, appointing these two as Heavenly Emperors would likely not be well-received by the public.
"What should we do then?!"
Hongjun was also unsure of what to do, but he couldn't let the gods decide the position of the Heavenly Emperor.
Immediately, his gaze involuntarily turned to the primordial land, and noticing the chaos in the human world, he thought of something and spoke with a half-smile, "Fellow Daoist Shendu, the position of Heavenly Emperor is not something we can say for sure!"
“It is born from itself.”
After saying that, he turned to look at the saints and the Grand Luo Golden Immortals and said, "If you want the position of Heavenly Emperor, you must send a wisp of your divine soul to be reincarnated and go to the human race. Whoever can seize the position of the next Human Emperor will become the Heavenly Emperor!"
Having said that, Hongjun's gaze fell on Shen Du again, and he said, "I wonder, what do you think of my decision, fellow Daoist?"
The god did not answer, but instead turned his gaze to the land below, to the territory of the human race on the primordial earth.
At this very moment, war rages across the human realm, and there is no sign of prosperity whatsoever.
Even the god couldn't help but frown. Logically speaking, the divine power he passed on to Ying Yinman was enough to ensure the eternal existence of the Qin Dynasty.
But why did such chaos occur?!
After a quick mental calculation, he suddenly realized the truth.
Because he believed that there was no eternal dynasty in the world, and the conflict between the common people and nobles in the Qin territory was getting worse and worse, even Ying Yinman could not control it.
In addition, after many years, Ying Yinman was no longer the same as before. She believed that the Qin Dynasty should last forever, so she let the world be in chaos.
The Qin Dynasty declined as a result, but the Ying clan nobles endured.
After considering the pros and cons, Shendu slowly nodded, "Agreed!"
"Then let's do as you say, fellow Daoist!"
Upon hearing this, Hongjun nodded.
Then, the two turned to look at the Three Pure Ones and the others, and said, "Do you understand the position of the Heavenly Emperor?"
"We understand!"
They all responded.
"If that's the case, then you may take the various positions of the Heavenly Emperor yourselves."
"The position of Heavenly Emperor will remain vacant for now. Once one of your divine souls is reincarnated and successfully governs the world, he/she can assume the position of Heavenly Emperor."
Hongjun didn't want to dwell on the other positions in Heaven anymore, and spoke up to end everything that was bothering him.
As soon as he uttered these words, Hongjun turned to look at Shen Du, as if asking, "Is this matter appropriate?"
Seeing this, Shendu nodded in tacit agreement.
"good!"
One word was uttered.
Soon, as the discussions in the Heavenly Court concluded, everyone returned to the prehistoric world.
In the Zixiao Palace, Haotian Yaochi knelt on both knees, looking at Hongjun, tears welling up in her eyes.
This is absolutely outrageous!
The throne of the Heavenly Emperor is gone!
She's lost her title as the Queen of Pop!
Upon seeing this, Hongjun Laozu sighed, "Haotian Yaochi, you should return to the Heavenly Court."
"My lord, there is no place for a child in the Heavenly Court. It would be better for him to stay in the Zixiao Palace and serve you!"
"I hope you will grant my request, sir!"
Upon hearing this, Hongjun felt quite helpless. It seemed that Haotian Yaochi was unwilling to return to the Heavenly Court. After all, even if she could become a Great Emperor, she would still be weak and unable to contend with Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortals and Saints.
Seeing this, Hongjun did not refuse. He simply sat cross-legged on the futon and said calmly, "Alright!"
"If that's the case, then stay."
After saying this, Hongjun raised his hand and transformed Haotian Yaochi back into his former child form.
Then, looking down at the Peach Garden of the Primordial Heavenly Court, he moved it to the backyard of Zixiao Palace in an instant, and thousands of peach trees were transformed once again into top-grade innate spiritual root Ren Water Peach.
