Cultivating Immortals in Two Worlds: From Qing Fu to Primordial Chaos

Chapter 390 Temporarily Assuming the Throne of the Heavenly Emperor
Inside the Xi Huang Palace, some of the subordinate gods also had somewhat solemn expressions.

"Your Highnesses, are you also unable to contact His Majesty?"

One of the ancient gods, surrounded by flames, looked at several favored deities of the Fuxi clan.

Seeing that some eyes were on her, a beautiful goddess dressed in blue, with a graceful and slender figure, shook her head slightly.

"I have tried to contact him using secret techniques, but I cannot sense my father's whereabouts!"

The gods immediately shifted their disappointed gazes from the jellyfish Xuanji and looked at the other two.

When Fuxi was in the human world, he had many disciples, and several of them were transformed from primordial energy, such as the Cangya God mentioned earlier.

For example, there is the True Lord of Wood Virtue who holds the Divine Wooden Ruler of Fuxi.

I have heard that the True Lord of Wood Virtue was formed from a drop of blood and spiritual essence left behind when Fuxi was injured.

Secondly, there are direct descendants such as Houji, Xianniao, Fangfengshi, and Qiuyuan.

The gods' gazes were mainly focused on Hou Ji and Mi Fei.

Houji was the most accomplished among the princes, having already reached the peak of the Origin God realm. Mi Fei, the goddess of the Luo River, was the most favored princess among all the women.

Houji then manifested in human form, though his face still bore traces of the scaled, dragon-like body unique to the Fuxi divine race.

Houji shook his head and said.

"I can't contact my father either!"

Mi Fei nodded slightly, a look of worry on her willow-leaf eyebrows.

Since becoming the Heavenly Emperor, Fuxi has never disappeared for so long, nor has he ever left without saying goodbye, not even leaving behind an incarnation.

This cast a shadow over everyone's hearts.

However, no one believed that Fuxi would easily encounter danger.

He is the Heavenly Emperor; who can harm him?
The gods in Xihuang Palace suddenly felt somewhat troubled.

The gods in Heaven are now leaderless, and there is much discussion and no decision can be made on many matters. If this continues, things may get out of hand.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?"

At this moment, all the gods turned their gaze to a graceful and beautiful goddess.

This is Huaxu Niangniang, the lord of the Huaxu God Clan, an ancient god with extremely powerful cultivation. Among the ancient god celestial beings in the Human Emperor Palace, she holds a revered position.

Seeing everyone's gaze turn to her, Hua Xu hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"A country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and the Heavenly Court cannot be without a Heavenly Emperor to preside over the overall situation. The Purple Star Heavenly Emperor of the North Pole Central Heaven is the second ruler of the Heavenly Court. Now that His Majesty is not here, we should invite this person to emerge and temporarily take over the overall situation in His Majesty's stead!"

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere inside the hall subtly changed.

The gods exchanged bewildered glances, and after a moment, a deity dressed in blue robes, Fuxi, cupped his hands and said:
"Holy Ancestor, isn't this like raising a tiger that will eventually cause trouble?"

The other members of the Fuxi clan were somewhat unwilling.

If it weren't for the fact that Huaxu, who brought up this matter, held a revered position as the birth mother of Fuxi and their ancestor, many of the Fuxi deities would have questioned whether she had sided with the Ziwei Palace.

Hua Xu Shi, however, had her own considerations.

The current Heavenly Court is entirely the brainchild of Fuxi. If things continue to be chaotic, the six departments that were painstakingly established will likely become independent, causing the Heavenly Court to lose face. By then, even if Fuxi returns, the Heavenly Court will already be in disarray.

Once the hard-earned authority is lost, it is very difficult to regain it.

Besides this consideration, Huaxu also knew that if Fuxi did not return, it was only a matter of time before the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor took control of the Heavenly Court.

After all, among the Four Emperors of Heaven, the Purple Star Emperor of the North Pole Central Heaven is indeed very prestigious.

As for the four emperors, Houtu Huangdiqi and Antarctic Longevity Emperor, Huaxu was not too worried.

Empress Houtu was focused on governing the Nine Netherworlds and did not concern herself with worldly affairs, so she had little interest in the Heavenly Court.

The Antarctic Immortal Emperor was also carefree and didn't have enough prestige.

Seeing the gods arguing, she did not persist and simply prepared to wait for another opportunity.

At this moment, many distinguished guests have arrived at the Ziwei Palace, located on the Ziwei Star.

Some Heavenly Court deities who favor the Xuanmen sect are petitioning.

"Your Majesty Ziwei, His Majesty Fuxi is away from the Heavenly Court for many years. How can the Heavenly Court function? As the Emperor of the North Pole, you cannot sit idly by. If you do not take care of it, the Heavenly Court will fall into chaos!"

An ancient god dressed in a blue robe, embroidered with the image of the Yellow River winding through the mountains, had a solemn face, with a hint of sincerity on his expression.

On the throne of the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor, Yang Huai remained calm, merely glancing at the gods without uttering a word.

Seeing this, another white-haired deity cupped his hands in greeting.

"Your Majesty Ziwei, you can no longer stand idly by. The gods in the Heavenly Court are in an uproar. If His Majesty Fuxi does not appear soon, the Heavenly Court may be thrown into turmoil, affecting the safety of all living beings..."

Yang Huai propped his head up with one hand and tapped the arm of the chair rhythmically with the other, looking thoughtful.

Yang Huai truly had no intention of becoming the Heavenly Emperor.

The Great Dao he primarily cultivates is the Boundless Great Dao, which belongs to the realm of creation.

Rather than the position of the Heavenly Emperor.

Moreover, the position of the Central Heavenly Emperor carries immense responsibilities and is resented by all the gods; it's like being roasted on a fire.

Therefore, he was not interested.

However, it's still acceptable for him to serve as the Heavenly Emperor for the time being.

In particular, he has recently begun to comprehend the mysteries of the Great Dao of Balance.

Holding the power of the Heavenly Emperor did have some benefit for him in comprehending the Great Dao of Balance.

This can also be used to harmonize the yin and yang of heaven and earth, and further deepen one's understanding of the origin of the Great Dao.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, he slowly raised his head and spoke.

"I am the Northern Emperor of the Heavenly Court, in charge of all stars and phenomena. When the Heavenly Court is in trouble, I am naturally duty-bound to shoulder the responsibilities of the Heavenly Emperor!"

Seeing the gods' faces light up with joy, he waved his hand and said.

"However, the Heavenly Court has four emperors, and many matters cannot be decided by me alone!"

The Yellow River God, surrounded by the power of rivers and lakes.

"Your Majesty, this matter is quite simple. Why not convene a new Grand Court Assembly in Your Majesty's name? Then all the gods can discuss it together, and I believe they will all support Your Majesty's ascension to the throne of the Heavenly Emperor!"

He was extremely interested.

Of course, there are also deep-seated desires.

The Heavenly Court has now established six departments, among which the Rain Department has always been controlled by the Dragon Clan, which makes him extremely resentful.

Previously, when Fuxi was in power, he could only endure it in his heart, but now that Fuxi has disappeared, he keenly realized that an opportunity had arrived.

He guessed that the Xuanmen sect might have long harbored ambitions for the throne of the Heavenly Emperor. The disappearance of Fuxi this time might have been orchestrated by the Xuanmen sect to pave the way for the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor. Now, with a little probing, he had discerned the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor's intentions, further confirming that his guess was correct.

The other Thor's gaze remained unchanged, but he also spoke with great enthusiasm.

"Your Majesty, the Water God's plan is not without merit. I can spread the news immediately. The gods have always revered Your Majesty and admired Your Majesty's achievement in opening up the Star Sea. If they hear the news, they will definitely support Your Majesty in ruling the Heavenly Court!"

Yang Huai took in the competitive expressions of the two men.

He didn't become the Heavenly Emperor to satisfy the selfish desires of these ambitious people!

Moreover, he didn't need these scheming scoundrels to show their faces, and said calmly.

"There's no need for such trouble. I will personally go to the underworld to pay homage to the Earth Goddess Houtu. After we reach an agreement, I will inform all the gods and immortals!"

Upon hearing his words, the two ancient gods were stunned for a moment, exchanged a glance, and quickly came to their senses.

"Your humble servants swear to serve Your Majesty to the death!"

The two gods immediately pledged their loyalty.

Yang Huai remained noncommittal, simply waving his hand to have a subordinate deity escort the two deputy heads of the Six Departments out of the Ziwei Palace.

After the two gods left, the six ancient gods emerged from the side hall.

"His Majesty?"

The six ancient gods each had a different color on their faces.

"Fellow Daoist Taiwei, are you truly prepared to vie for the position of Heavenly Emperor?"

Even the Taoist Ran Deng couldn't help but show surprise.

Yang Huai waved his hand and said.

"I have my own plan for this matter!"

Before things are settled, he will not easily reveal his thoughts, lest he cause unnecessary trouble.

Yang Huai first went to the residence of the Antarctic Longevity Emperor, intending to first discuss this matter with the Antarctic Daoist.

Although the Antarctic Daoist was only an outer disciple and his status in the Jade Purity Daoist lineage was not as high as Yang Huai's, Yang Huai did not consult with him and the other party could not do anything about him. However, for the sake of unity, Yang Huai still met with the Antarctic Daoist once before. After the two reached an agreement, he went to the Nine Netherworld.

In the Netherworld, darkness still reigns, with only a single moon hanging high in the sky, its frosty light illuminating the earth in a silvery glow.

Many ghostly figures roamed in the eerie wind, in a state of chaos.

Yang Huai went directly to the central Reincarnation City.

Before the Hall of Six Paths of Reincarnation, a purple aura descended from the void, instantly transforming into a figure dressed in incomparably luxurious purple robes.

Before the hall, a deity was already waiting. He was a black-robed deity with a stern face.

Yang Huai had never met him before.

After only a brief glance, Yang Huai suddenly asked a question.

"Are you the Left Holy Emperor?"

He remembered that some time ago, the Netherworld had gained several emperors, including the Left Saint Emperor. He had heard that these people were all primordial spirits naturally born from the Netherworld, and their origins were noble.

The Left Holy Emperor nodded slightly and cupped his hands in greeting.

"This humble divine being, Zuo Sheng, greets Your Majesty Ziwei!"

He paused slightly, then said softly.

"The Empress is already aware of what His Majesty Ziwei has done. The Empress has said that the Houtu Palace will not interfere with or participate in His Majesty's plans!"

After saying that, he added...

"Her Majesty is currently in seclusion for spiritual cultivation and is not receiving guests. Please forgive her, Your Majesty!"

Yang Huai nodded and said.

"Please convey my gratitude to Your Majesty!"

After saying that, he transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the sky.

Seeing this, the Left Saint Emperor smiled slightly.

High in the sky, Yang Huai glanced at the hazy, colossal laurel tree deep in the Yin Mountains, sighed softly, and then quickly departed.

On the wild land
In the southern lands, near the Jiang River, the Yan Emperor tribe welcomed a distinguished guest.

Inside the Yan Emperor's palace, the Yan Emperor looked at the approaching North Pole Central Heavenly Emperor Ziwei with a slightly surprised expression.

Yang Huai met his gaze and spoke first.

"Your Majesty the Emperor Yan is sharp of hearing and sight; have you heard of the affairs of the Heavenly Court?"

He casually raised the fragrant tea in his hand, took a sip, and inhaled the familiar aroma of the tea leaves, a sense of tranquility washed over him.

Emperor Yan's eyes flickered, and he immediately spoke.

"Of course I've heard about it. Now that His Majesty Fuxi has disappeared, the people of Heaven are in a state of panic, which is probably not a good thing for Heaven..."

Yang Huai nodded.

"I have just come from the underworld. The four of us have reached a preliminary agreement. I will temporarily assume the position of the Heavenly Emperor until His Majesty Fuxi returns. This matter still requires the support of all the gods!"

I have always preferred to speak my mind, and now the Imperial Palace is a force to be reckoned with on Earth. This matter requires the full assistance of His Majesty the Yan Emperor!

He looked calm.

Shennong's eyes flickered, and he smiled.

"Now that His Majesty Ziwei has assumed the throne of Heaven and Earth, the Yan Emperor Tribe will naturally give his full support!"

Yang Huai waved his hand and said.

"I am only temporarily assuming the position of Heavenly Emperor to prevent chaos in the world. I will return the authority once Fuxi returns!"

He corrected the 'error' in Emperor Yan's words!
Even though he knew that no one would easily believe him if he said that.

After all, he is currently focused on the origin of the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor, so it would be natural for him to become the Heavenly Emperor, especially since he has the support of the three Venerables of the Xuanmen.

Yang Huai glanced at Emperor Yan Shennong.

In fact, if Fuxi were to truly abdicate, the best successor would naturally be the one before him, and he did indeed intend to push Shennong to the throne.

However, he will not reveal a single detail of this matter until the very end.

Even if I were to say it now, Emperor Yan Shennong would probably not believe me, and might even think it's just an excuse or a way to bribe me.

Therefore, he could only plan this matter alone, and the answer would only be revealed at the end.
