This is so dishonest!

Chapter 372 Lao Jun, are you ready?
"Well, although this was an accident, it's not something that can't be accepted."

"It's not necessarily a bad thing, after all, I had considered this before, it's just that it's happening earlier now."

Yuan Huang's negative emotions came quickly and went quickly.

She quickly came to terms with it, and a loving smile appeared on her face: "Bearing offspring is also enriching my life experience, and isn't this also a manifestation of the Great Dao of Fire Element?"

"Passing on the torch, continuing the legacy of life."

"Chenxing said that water is the source of life."

"In fact, life also originated from fire!"

Yuan Huang's delicate face revealed a serious expression: "If we take fire as the source, reverse the fundamentals of the five elements, and refine the wonders of yin and yang, it is not impossible to condense the foundation of the Great Dao and step onto the supreme realm!"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Qing nodded slightly: "It seems that you have indeed considered this matter, fellow Daoist."

For the innate divine beings, conceiving offspring is a very simple matter, and it doesn't actually require the union of Yin and Yang.

The Taiyi Gods are the Dao in their innate nature.

They can easily manipulate falsehoods to create reality, fabricate things from nothing, and even create something entirely new.

If I can create something out of nothing, isn't it easy for me to have a child for myself?

Male and female gods, cultivators of the Qian Dao, cultivators of the Kun Dao, and cultivators of the Dao of Qiankun Reversal are all like this.

Do you want the Tao to give birth to one, one to give birth to two, two to give birth to three, or three to give birth to all things?

That all depends on the will of the Taiyi gods.

Moreover, it is the Great Luo Supreme Being who symbolizes "encompassing all existence"?
It's also reasonable to turn an unexpected event into something not unexpected.

Therefore, Xuanqing felt that Yuanhuang's statement, although unexpected, was part of her plan, was still credible.

"if not?"

Yuan Huang felt slighted by the Heavenly Emperor, so she added, "I am not alone on the Great Dao of Fire Origin; I have many like-minded people who can serve as my reference."

"Did the Heavenly Emperor see the Phoenix Clan's new interpretation of 'fire' at the banquet in Taiwei Golden Palace?"

"I see, it's ingenious," Xuan Qing commented.

Just like the Qilin clan's "rustic avenue," the Dragon clan's "water of desire," and the Phoenix clan's virtual concept of "fire," these are all very creative.

"Creating viral live streams by engaging in creative activities on the StarNet is the new path pioneered by our fellow Phoenix Clan members."

Yuan Huang proudly said, "If you can be famous today, I can be famous tomorrow. That's their slogan in the new era!"

"I think it's excellent!"

Integrating the mischievous abilities of the primordial gods with the concept of fire is absolutely in line with the needs of the times.

Based on Yuanhuang's understanding of Taiwei Enclosure, starting with Xuanqing, the first Heavenly Emperor, none of the subsequent Heavenly Emperors were easy to deal with.

Who knows what amazing things they might do while they're actually doing their job!
[With the Taiwei Emperor in charge of governance, the world was at peace, the universe was harmonious, and all living beings were happy. It would be considered good if this situation could be maintained for even one generation!]

Yuan Huang knew the answer perfectly well.

【Rahu Shangzun】 and 【Ketu Shangzun】 are the two most powerful gods in the Taiwei realm.

As expected, if Luo Hou successfully succeeds Xuan Qing to the throne, the peaceful development of the two eras can be guaranteed.

If Chenxing doesn't die, he will inherit the throne and become the third Heavenly Emperor, leading the Dragon Clan's sacred beings to take up their posts. Even if things go poorly, he can still complete the transition to the third era.

After three generations of Heavenly Emperors ruled the world, and with peace and development deeply ingrained in the hearts of the gods, Yuanhuang ascended the throne as the fourth Heavenly Emperor. She had no fear of being unable to subdue the gods of the primordial world.

It is not impossible to achieve complete homage to heaven, earth, and all living beings at that time.

But it is different now.

The anticipated second Heavenly Emperor unexpectedly perished in the great war.

Zu Long was frighteningly decisive; seeing the situation was not good, he immediately turned into a Daoist being.

Without one person to carry the weight and another to fill the void, Yuan Huang would have to be crazy to take over as the second Heavenly Emperor.

It's true that the Phoenix Clan created the concept of "fire," and it's also true that they intend to devote themselves wholeheartedly to this grand undertaking.

However, she knew she didn't have the strength of the current Heavenly Emperor and was very likely unable to suppress the gods of the primordial world.

Therefore, Yuanhuang decisively withdrew from the limelight, took advantage of the situation to become pregnant and nurture her pregnancy, and observed the changing times.

“Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor,” Yuan Huang said, her previous thoughts clearing, her tone becoming earnest with a touch of just the right amount of weariness.

"Now that I am pregnant, I only want to rest and recuperate. After that, I need to focus on raising these two children and take this opportunity to explore more mysteries of the Great Dao of Fire and the creation of life. I really have no energy left to get too involved in the affairs of the mortal world."

After clearly explaining her situation, Yuan Huang revealed a hint of regret and pity on her face: "I'm afraid I'll have to miss out on the many exciting things and changes that are about to happen in this new era!"

"I beg Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor to understand and allow Fellow Daoist Sun to continue your path and lead all living beings of the primordial world into the next glorious era."

As she spoke, a hint of melancholy appeared in Yuanhuang's eyes, as if she truly regretted not being able to step forward and take over the position of the second Heavenly Emperor.

Upon seeing this, Xuan Qing's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.

He reassured him, "It's alright, fellow Daoist, there's no need to worry."

“I am aware of your concern for the primordial world and your care for all living beings, and Heaven and Earth shall bear witness to it.”

"I'm sure Fellow Daoist Sun can understand your difficulties and predicaments."

"In the next era, the burden of the Three Realms and all the myriad worlds will not fall on your shoulders, so you can rest assured, fellow Daoist."

Having received such a clear guarantee from Xuan Qing, the vague sense of crisis that had been hanging over Yuan Huang's heart completely dissipated.

She let out a long sigh of relief and said, "I believe that Fellow Daoist Sun will live up to expectations and lead the gods of the primordial world and countless beings to a brighter and more splendid future."

Xuanqing smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "Fellow Daoist should say these words to him in person; he would surely be more gratified."

Yuan Huang gently shook her head: "Please ask His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor to convey my message. I only wish to take good care of my pregnancy."

Having resolved this paramount matter concerning her future, Yuan Huang planned to make an immediate escape and leave the planet Yinghuo as soon as possible to avoid any further complications.

"Hey, wait a minute." Just as Yuan Huang turned to leave, Xuan Qing called out to her.

"Does His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor have any other instructions?" Yuan Huang stopped and turned around to ask, her heart tightening slightly.

Xuan Qing remained calm and slowly said, "It's like this. Recently, I've been planning to establish a 'Primordial Heavenly Dao Academy.' I wonder if Fellow Daoist Yuan Huang would be interested in coming to the academy to serve as a teacher and cultivate some rising stars for the Primordial World?"

Fearing that Yuan Huang would refuse without a second thought, Xuan Qing quickly added, his tone very sincere:

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, these are just ordinary teaching tasks. They will only impart some basic knowledge and insights into the Great Dao of Fire Element. They will absolutely not interfere with your nurturing process, nor will they take up too much of your energy."

"The Primordial Heavenly Dao Academy?" Upon hearing this, Yuan Huang hesitated for a moment; the name sounded quite prestigious.

"This is an idea proposed by Fellow Daoist Kunpeng after careful consideration. I think it has many ingenious aspects and is very feasible, so I plan to finalize it and put it into practice." Xuanqing briefly introduced Kunpeng's preliminary plan to Yuanhuang.

Kunpeng's proposal was submitted jointly with Dijun. Xuanqing had, of course, carefully reviewed this grand plan, which concerned the future development of the Taiwei Heavenly Court and even the entire cause of education in the prehistoric world.

Upon reviewing the entire plan, Xuan Qing's first thought was—the plan to strengthen the Heavenly Dao seal has finally been found!

It would be such a pity if the Primordial Heavenly Dao Academy were not closely connected with the Primordial Heavenly Dao itself!

[A deity wields a specific Heavenly Dao, and then they gather at Zixiao Palace to strengthen the seal. Hmm, the first training ground of the Primordial Heavenly Dao Academy is located in Zixiao Palace, so that more deities can be fooled.]

After Teacher Hong finished explaining the principles of the Great Way, everyone must have benefited greatly and gained something from it. So, as students, isn't it perfectly reasonable to submit a "homework assignment on the Way of Heaven," giving back our insights to the Way of Heaven itself?

[The three thousand deities are three thousand 'Heavenly Dao assignments' containing their own Great Dao will. Submitting them three times in a row, repeatedly strengthening them, not only imperceptibly reinforces the Heavenly Dao seal, making it more stable, but also incidentally dilutes Hongjun's 'shareholding' in the Heavenly Dao, preventing him from becoming too powerful.]

In this way, there will be no need to worry too much about the Heavenly Dao Spirit rebelling in the future.

From this long-term and secretive perspective, Xuan Qing felt that the establishment of this "Primordial Heavenly Dao Academy" was absolutely necessary and could not be delayed!

“Fellow Daoist Yuanhuang, think about it. If this academy is really built, it will be a great thing for the gods of our prehistoric world and countless living beings, and will create a foundation for eternal peace!” Xuanqing said with a serious expression and an extremely solemn tone.

"Cultivating generation after generation of outstanding new talents for the future of the world—isn't this the most direct and vivid manifestation of 'passing on the torch'?"

"Moreover, our Primordial Heavenly Dao Academy will inevitably recruit those exceptionally talented and fortunate geniuses from the entire Primordial True Realm and even the boundless myriad worlds in the future."

"Your unborn child can also enroll in the academy in the future, compete with many other geniuses, encourage each other, and grow together!"

Yuan Huang was still somewhat hesitant after hearing the many reasons given, but her attitude finally softened upon hearing this last sentence.

If that's the case, then she definitely needs to be involved in the early stages of the Heavenly Dao Academy's development.

Even if you don't actively participate, you should at least lend your name and understand its internal operations.

Otherwise, how can you feel at ease letting your child enter a college you know nothing about to study and pursue further education?

"I need to tell you in advance."

After much deliberation, Yuan Huang still felt uneasy and added a special note, emphasizing, "I will only engage in some simple teaching work and will absolutely not participate in any major events in the prehistoric world!"

Although this plan appears to have been proposed by Kunpeng.

But after all, it had passed the Emperor of Heaven's scrutiny and received his strong support.

Then there is a very high probability that this matter will head straight for the abyss of "causing trouble".

"Don't worry, it's absolutely simple! It'll be very relaxing!"

Xuan Qing patted his chest, giving Yuan Huang a firm guarantee.

Yuan Huang reluctantly nodded: "Alright then, just let me know once His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor begins the formal preparations for establishing the academy."

"I have to go back now, goodbye."

Without further hesitation, Yuan Huang transformed into a dazzling streak of fire and fled.

She didn't want to linger for even a moment longer, as if afraid that Xuan Qing would drag her along to discuss some "simple" matter again.

Xuan Qing watched Yuan Huang's departing figure, a smile curving his lips: "Very good. Next, I need to return to the Netherworld and find some teaching materials."

[It just so happens that some Heavenly Dao beings are imprisoned in my Tai Sha Heavenly Palace; I can release them to use as teaching materials.]

[The experimental samples from the Palace of Sin can now be released. Those Heavenly Daos are quite upright; there shouldn't be any problems.]

[Hehe, Fellow Daoist Hongjun, you'd better get ready, it won't be long before I bring everyone to visit you.]

The underworld.

Xuan Qing's figure appeared silently outside the main hall of the Seven Non-Heaven Palace.

"Eh? What a strange coincidence that His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor has graced us with his presence and deigned to return to the Netherworld for inspection?"

A clear, gentle voice, with a touch of languid magnetism, rang out leisurely in the hall like a secluded orchid in a valley.

In the Heavenly Palace, Meng Wuyou was elegantly sipping tea.

"I'll come back and prepare some teaching materials."

Xuanqing explained the Heavenly Dao Academy's underlying purpose to Meng Wuyou.

Meng Wuyou blinked.

"Is this okay?"

She seriously doubted whether the solution was actually developed by Kunpeng.

How come it's so perfectly timed?

"Kunpeng's plan, could it be that you posted it on the StarNet and he saw it?" Meng Wuyou made a reasonable speculation.

Xuan Qing shook his head: "I don't have that much free time."

"Everything just fell into place naturally."

"Okay." Meng Wuyou nodded, no longer dwelling on it.

She asked, "What about reincarnation?"

When do you plan to start it?

"You can do it now!"

Xuanqing smiled and said, "Besides arranging matters concerning the Heavenly Dao, I also need to continue perfecting the Earthly Dao this time I've returned!"

"Only when heaven and earth are in balance can the Primordial True Realm be made more perfect!"

"Did you forget to say one?"

Worry-free reminded me, "Don't tell me you didn't have any intention of harming humanity."

Xuan Qing smiled slightly: "No rush, no rush, let's take it one step at a time."

"Let's arrange things with Hongjun and Samsara first."

"Only when heaven and earth are in perfect harmony can new wonders be created in the human world!"

P.S.: I went to get a tooth pulled. My friends are right, a short pain is worse than a long one.

But it hurts a lot today!

So after half a day of typing, I only managed to type out four thousand words.

I'll update again tomorrow after I recover my energy in a day!
