Rewriting the Gods

As Xuandu and Fuxi both attained sainthood, purple qi traveled 30,000 miles eastward, and the majestic saints' aura suppressed heaven and earth, instantly sweeping away the somber atmosphere in the primordial world.

Everything has settled down, the position of saint has been decided, and there is naturally no need for anyone to compete for it anymore.

The group of quasi-saints who had just appeared immediately returned to their respective caves, closed their doors to visitors, and ignored all matters of the primordial world.

Those remaining on the field are the various races that fought the previous battle. Since they have already fought, it is not as simple as retreating to absolve themselves of their responsibilities.

The faces of Haotian, Yuanfeng, Jidu, Minghe, Luya, and Kunpeng were extremely grim.

The most tragic outcome of this great war was undoubtedly that of the Western Buddhist sect. Two saints perished, and all of its disciples were wiped out. Thus, the once-prosperous Western Buddhism sect came to an end.

Next up are the six participating forces.

Various forces besieged the human race, the dragon race surrendered to the human race, the Western Sect fell, and the Chan Sect, which joined midway, had a sage in charge. Although Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun was only a sage, he could not compare to the human race in terms of numbers and power.

But red flowers, white lotus roots, and green lotus leaves—the three religions are originally one family.

Two characters for "clear" cannot be written in one stroke.

Despite the fierce battle between the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect, if the Chan Sect were to face a crisis of extinction, would the Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun and the Taiqing Daode Tianzun really just stand by and do nothing?

Moreover, Taiqing and Shangqing have their own karmic connections with the human race, and the new human saint Xuandu is a disciple of Taiqing saint. The two sides are already closely related, so it is probably difficult for them to fight.

The Chan Sect has a way out, but the other six factions do not!

In the void, as the dust settled, the Sage Taiqing also departed. Yuqing glanced at Haofeng below and the four Sages surrounding Jiang Haofeng, and sighed inwardly. The human race's momentum was now unstoppable.

"Those who belong to the Chan Sect shall return to the mountains to cultivate. From this day forward, Kunlun Mountain shall be closed. All disciples shall return to their caves, guard their minds, and comprehend the Great Dao!"

"Yes, disciple obeys Master's decree!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the disciples of the Chan Sect bowed and paid their respects. Then they transformed into beams of immortal light and rose up, heading towards Kunlun Mountain.

The Chan Sect had few disciples to begin with, so their retreat was easy. The immortals came quickly and left quickly. In no time, all the disciples in the entire prehistoric world, except for a few like the Antarctic Immortal who held divine positions in the Heavenly Court, had returned to the mountain!
A golden barrier rose from the Jade Void Palace, separating the inside from the outside.

After seeing Yuanshi Tianzun off, Nuwa nodded gratefully to Jiang Haofeng, then transformed into a beam of celestial light and returned to the Nuwa Palace.

Those who had taken their seats in the Nuwa Palace followed closely behind and returned to the Nuwa Palace.

The Master of the Shangqing Tongtian Sect said a few words to his disciples, the Jiejiao Immortals, and then transformed into a beam of immortal light and returned to Biyou Palace.

The immortals of the Jie Sect, who had gathered above the East Sea and were facing the immortals of the Chan Sect, bowed to the human race and then returned to their respective immortal islands in the East Sea.

In an instant, all forces withdrew, leaving only the eight factions: the Human Race, the Dragon Race, the Heavenly Court, the Phoenix Race, the Demonic Path, the Ancient Demon Race, the North Sea Demon Race, and the Asura Race.

In the void, the power of the six sages converged. On the human side, Jiang Haofeng stood among the crowd. To his left were the newly enlightened sages Xuandu and Fuxi, and beside him were Emperor Xuanyuan, who wielded the power of the Three Sovereigns, and Suiren, who wielded the power of the Twelve Golden Men.

The oppressive aura of the five sages swept across the eight wastelands, shaking heaven and earth.

Opposite the five, however, was only Haotian, who held the power of the Heavenly Dao.

In a battle of one against five, it's immediately clear who is stronger and who is weaker.

Haotian's gaze swept across the field, and he sighed deeply. The tide had turned, and there was no chance of a comeback.

That's all, that's all!
Haotian looked at Jiang Haofeng in the center of the crowd with a very complicated expression. He felt resentment and jealousy, but more than anything, he felt admiration!

As a disciple of the Dao Ancestor, Haotian was born very early. When the Dao Ancestor preached in Zixiao Palace, he was already enlightened to become a disciple and serve the Dao Ancestor.

At that time, the human race had not yet been born, and Nuwa was still a quasi-saint.

It can be said that Haotian is even more ancient than the entire human race.

Later, Nuwa attained enlightenment and created the human race. Haotian was very shocked, never expecting that creating a race would lead to one person attaining enlightenment.

Therefore, Haotian also took notice of the weak human race. Haotian knew much more about the development history of the human race than anyone else in the prehistoric world.

Haotian witnessed firsthand how the human race, under that person's leadership, grew from weak to strong, skillfully maneuvering among the pack of wolves, secretly developing and expanding, and repeatedly thwarting the schemes of the Western Sect and thwarting their conspiracies.

Having survived countless primordial calamities, it has finally undergone a complete transformation, gradually evolving into the overlord of the primordial world it is today.

It was precisely because he witnessed all of this that Haotian understood the hardships of the human race. If the human race did not have Haofeng, everything would be completely different.

Without Haofeng, the human race would probably have become a supporting character after the Investiture of the Gods.

It was thanks to Haofeng that the human race was able to develop all the way to where it is today.

Haotian sincerely admired Haofeng. Even though the two were naturally on opposite sides, it did not affect Haotian's admiration for this ancestor of the human race!

What a pity! If I weren't the ruler of the Three Realms, I wouldn't have had to confront such an existence.

That's it, that's it.

I'm not capable of being the ruler of the three realms. I should just go back to the Dao Ancestor's side and be a little servant who pours tea and water.

Thinking of this, Haotian did not hesitate at all and directly dispelled the power that had been bestowed upon him.

As Haotian made his move, the gazes of all the immortals in the Three Realms involuntarily focused on him. The ruler of the Three Realms stood solemnly facing the north.

The next moment, a golden light flashed, and the imperial robe on Haotian's body, which symbolized supreme authority, transformed into a dull gray Taoist robe that looked inconspicuous. Haotian also changed from a middle-aged man to a young man.

In the blink of an eye, the renowned ruler of the Three Realms transformed into a handsome young Daoist boy!
Immediately, Haotian knelt down facing the sky, "Master, Haotian is incompetent and powerless to rule the Three Realms. I beg you to rescind your decree. Haotian is willing to remain by your side as a servant boy, serving you tea and water!"

As soon as the words fell, countless immortals throughout the prehistoric world were in an uproar, especially the immortals of the five forces that stood with the Heavenly Court.

Old Ancestor Styx almost fainted. When things had come to this point, and death seemed almost inevitable, you, the Supreme Being of the Three Realms, actually fled first. You ran away, but what am I, your ancestor, supposed to do?
I am not anyone's servant; I have no one behind me.

For a moment, the Styx Ancestor cursed in his heart, but he dared not show it on his face. There was no other reason than that the one standing behind Haotian!

The most powerful being in the entire primordial world, the Dao Ancestor who merged with the Heavenly Dao, was an invincible existence in the primordial world.

Haofeng had to go to great lengths to remove Jieyin and Zhunti from their sainthood before he could kill them. But Daozu was different; if Daozu wanted, he could directly kill the Heavenly Dao Saint!

"Idiot."

A weathered voice rang out, and the next moment, celestial light flowed in the direction Haotian was worshipping, and an ordinary-looking Taoist appeared in the void.

Unlike the appearance of the various sages, when purple aura stretched for thirty thousand miles and auspicious clouds filled the three realms, no unusual phenomena appeared in the primordial world when the Dao Ancestor appeared. But in this instance, everyone present felt a chill run down their spines.

All the immortals present, regardless of their strength or whether they were saints, bowed deeply and said, "Greetings, Dao Ancestor!"

At the same time, outside the chaos, saints reappeared, bowing to the Dao Ancestor. The primordial immortals who had just returned to their respective places did the same!

In an instant, every living being in the entire prehistoric world who could see the Dao Ancestor bowed and paid their respects without exception!

Dao Ancestor, he is the undisputed strongest being in the primordial world!
In the primordial world, that is the Heavenly Dao!
All the Heavenly Dao Saints of the Primordial World were his disciples, whether it was the previous six Heavenly Dao Saints or the current six new Heavenly Dao Saints.

Since the Great Calamity of Dao and Demon, anyone who has heard the Dao Ancestor preach has become an undisputed master of great supernatural powers in the primordial world.

The phrase "three thousand guests of Zixiao Palace" has been a synonym for those with great supernatural powers throughout history.

A sage needs his own aura to suppress the billions of immortals in the primordial world, but the Dao Ancestor does not. He only needs to show his figure, without releasing even the slightest bit of aura, to suppress the entire primordial world!
This is the majesty of the strongest beings in the primordial world, and also the supreme prestige of the preachers of the primordial world!

Just those two words brought tears to Haotian's eyes. In that instant, his former ambition to wield power over the Three Realms vanished. Haotian kowtowed once more and said, "This disciple has failed my master!"

"That's enough. It's all due to fate and cause and effect. Things have come to this point, so there's no need to say more."

After saying that, Dao Ancestor's gaze swept over everyone in the arena. Wherever his gaze fell, everyone lowered their heads, even the saints. Even Jiang Haofeng felt immense pressure when he met Dao Ancestor's gaze and lowered his head slightly.

I can't afford to get carried away right now. My own path to enlightenment is not yet complete, and I am definitely no match for the Dao Ancestor.

Moreover, they are currently in the prehistoric world, and with the support of the prehistoric world, the Dao Ancestor is in a dominant position. Not to mention now, even if he proves his Dao in the future, he may not be able to defeat the Dao Ancestor in the prehistoric world.

Hongjun Daozu's gaze lingered on Jiang Haofeng for a while before he withdrew it.

Jiang Haofeng's heart stirred slightly. Just now, the Dao Ancestor had left a message in his mind.

"Fellow Daoist Haofeng, on the day you attain enlightenment, I will officially change my name to Immortal Ancestor!"

"I look forward to that day, when we can sit down and discuss the Dao!"

·······
Hongjun's gaze swept over everyone before settling on Haotian again, and he spoke:

"Haotian, by my decree, took control of the Three Realms. However, during his reign, wars broke out frequently, all races fought each other, and countless lives were lost. Therefore, I hereby revoked his position as the ruler of the Three Realms and demoted him to the Heavenly Emperor!"

"From this day forward, the Heavenly Emperor will rule the heavens, wield the power of the Heavenly Way, govern the Heavenly Court and the Underworld, command all the gods, maintain the operation of the Heavenly Way, and will no longer interfere in human affairs."

As soon as he finished speaking, Haotian paused for a moment, then a bitter smile appeared on his face. So be it. He couldn't be the ruler of the Three Realms, but being the Heavenly Emperor was fine too.

Unfortunately, I wanted to return to the master's side.

Haotian's mind raced, and he immediately bowed and said, "Haotian receives the decree!"

Hongjun nodded slightly, then looked at the various races before him and said, "The path of immortals values ​​freedom, while the path of gods values ​​order!"

"The mortal and immortal realms coexist, and countless beings each have their own destiny. I have no intention of interfering. All races in the mortal realm, take care of yourselves!"

"But the primordial world was orderly. Those who did good deeds could gain merit, and those who did evil could gain karma. Regardless of whether they were immortals or mortals, noble or lowly, everyone was treated equally."

"Those who have not attained the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit have heavy karma, and once they enter the Underworld, they will inevitably have to go through the eighteen levels of hell!"

"Having obtained the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, one's karma is heavy, and one will naturally attract the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, resulting in death and the dissipation of one's Dao, turning into ashes!"

Looking at the assembled immortals, the Dao Ancestor spoke again: "Today I establish the Heavenly Rules: all who ascend to heaven to become gods must be fair and just, treating all races under heaven equally. Otherwise, the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder will strike, and they will perish and their Dao will be extinguished!"

"All the gods of Heaven, those who wish to remain as gods and those who wish to roam freely in the mortal realm, must submit a count to the Eastern King Duke within three days, without error!"

As Hongjun Daozu spoke, every word he uttered caused a tremor throughout the primordial world, as if the entire primordial world was echoing every word he spoke. Every word spoken by Daozu transformed into supreme rules and merged into the Three Realms.

"Yes!"

The immortals from all races present responded in unison.

The Dao Ancestor nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Haotian, who was still kneeling on the ground, and waved his hand, saying, "Send the Heavenly Emperor Haotian into the cycle of reincarnation to experience 103,200 tribulations!"

"Having completed my tribulation, I will once again take control of the Heavenly Court!"

"The Eastern King is hereby appointed as the Eastern Emperor, to take charge of the Heavenly Court during the Heavenly Emperor's tribulation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hongjun's figure vanished into the void.

"Respectfully bidding farewell to the Dao Ancestor!"

All the immortals on the field bowed in respect.

Among the crowd, Haotian bowed with exceptional sincerity. After performing three bows and nine kowtows, he said a few words to Dongwanggong and Tianpeng before transforming into a stream of light and falling into the cycle of reincarnation.

"Respectfully seeing off the Heavenly Emperor!"

All the celestial beings of the Heavenly Court, under the leadership of the Eastern King Duke, bowed in respect.

After a long pause, the Eastern King Duke stood up, his gaze sweeping over the immortals still remaining in the Heavenly Court, and said calmly, "Those who wish to continue as gods, speak to me; those who do not wish to become gods, please descend to the mortal realm!"

After saying this, Dongwanggong immediately flew to the Miluo Palace and began to use his magic to repair the palace, which had been reduced to ruins in the great battle.

As Haotian's core loyalists, they stepped forward and began to clean up the Heavenly Court.

Thus, the Heavenly Court was also extricated from this vortex.

Although the Heavenly Court is not a top power in the prehistoric world and does not have a sage in charge, the Heavenly Court has the Dao Ancestor Hongjun standing behind it, which is the Heavenly Court's greatest strength!

At this point, only seven major powers remained in the human world, and the atmosphere there became tense and deadly once again.

The gazes of the group of human immortals fell upon the five major forces that had once besieged the human race, and in an instant, killing intent arose again.

Jiang Haofeng's gaze swept over the crowd. Without the slightest hesitation, he raised his hand and struck the demonic cultivator first.

At the same time, Jiang Haofeng's voice rang out: "Those who made a move, leave no one alive!"

Jiang Haofeng is no saint. The Dao Ancestor has made it very clear that each race controls its own affairs in the mortal world, and life and death are left to fate. Since that's the case, then let's deal with these five forces before us! (End of Chapter)
