This is so dishonest!

Chapter 398 The Protoss Plan, the Cult Leader

Not long after the conclusion of the Heavenly Way Committee meeting.

A notice suddenly appeared on the StarNet: The Heavenly Emperor announced that he was going into seclusion, and the date of his return was uncertain.

All administrative affairs of the Heavenly Court are handed over to the Heavenly Dao Committee and the Purple Palace for handling.

This sudden announcement instantly caused a huge uproar across the entire StarNet.

"What's going on?! Why is His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor suddenly going into seclusion?"

"And the departure date is uncertain? Has something gone wrong?"

Upon hearing this, many star gods began to speculate.

"I think the Heavenly Emperor's seclusion is probably due to a breakthrough in his cultivation."

A netizen named "[Tu Nan Wei Ke Qi]" commented: "Previously, the Heavenly Emperor urgently convened a meeting of the Heavenly Dao Committee, and went into seclusion shortly after the meeting ended. Now, the affairs of the Heavenly Court have been hastily handed over."

"This is definitely not a trivial matter!"

"In my opinion, the Heavenly Emperor is definitely going to attempt to reach the Primordial Great Luo or the Great Yi Great Luo!"

Everyone who saw this analysis thought it made sense.

"In that case, it's good news. We can wait for the good tidings!"

A netizen named "Fuyao Jiuwanjie" commented, which received many likes.

Both of these accounts belong to a deity—Kunpeng.

At this moment, he transformed into many different "alt accounts," leaving messages on various popular forums, discussion groups, and comment sections of influential celebrity accounts on the StarNet.

At the same time, he also contacted a professional team—Tianhe Water Army—to guide public opinion.

They sometimes transform into "rational and objective observers," offering "objective analyses" of various speculations;
At other times, they would transform into "insiders" and reveal some "innocent" "internal information";
Sometimes, they would even personally take to the field to "set the tone," steer the conversation towards positive publicity about His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor's "diligent governance and love for the people, and his willingness to go into seclusion and cultivate in pursuit of the Great Dao."

Its purpose, of course, is to prevent uninformed onlookers from making wild guesses, thereby affecting the glorious, majestic, wise, and powerful image of His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor in the hearts of all beings in the Three Realms.

While Kunpeng and the others were busy with their tasks, the entire StarNet was immersed in a harmonious atmosphere of "wishing His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor a speedy return after his success."

A somewhat abrupt yet thought-provoking comment quietly appeared below a popular post.

"Fellow Daoists, is there any risk of the current Heavenly Emperor returning from his current seclusion to attempt the Taiyi Daluo realm?"

"Could it be like some legendary powerful beings who attempted to reach this realm, who, due to an unstable Dao heart or insufficient preparation, became completely lost in that boundless 'Taiyi Void' and could never return?"

This comment comes from the innate laurel tree [Yueyuezi].

Upon seeing this, Kunpeng frowned slightly.

He immediately switched to a new account called "Emotional Expert" with the username "Fish and Water Always Bring Love".

He quickly replied, "Fellow Daoist, don't worry!"

"Firstly, His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor is the supreme ruler of the Three Realms, born in response to the times, possessing immeasurable fortune and the favor of Heaven. How can he be compared to ordinary cultivators?"

"Secondly, and most importantly, His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor has always ruled the world with benevolence and virtue, and loved all people. His heart is always filled with the Three Realms and countless living beings."

"Therefore, this prosperous and thriving prehistoric world is the most steadfast guiding principle in his heart!"

"Even if His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor encounters unimaginable dangers and challenges during the process of attaining the Dao of Taiyi, or even unfortunately... well, I mean, what if he fails to attain the Dao?"

"He would never lose himself or completely sink into that 'Taiyi Void' because of this."

"Because, as long as all living beings exist and the primordial world endures, he will always have the coordinates and motivation to return!"

Kunpeng's comments were reasonable and well-founded, convincing the gods.

"Oh, so that's it."

That's really... such a pity.

[Yueyuezi] was quite disappointed after receiving this "professional" reply.

The Heavenly Emperor Dijun announced that he would be going into seclusion, and the duration of his seclusion was uncertain.

Therefore, the highly anticipated "heavenly marriage" that he had previously announced at the Heavenly Dao Committee would naturally have to be postponed indefinitely.

If His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor were to encounter some unfortunate event during his seclusion to break through to the Taiyi Daluo realm, and were unable to return, it would be a great misfortune.

Does that mean that this "heavenly marriage" doesn't need to be held at all?
In the Moon Palace.

The moonlight, like water, flowed through the void, draping the silvery world of the Moon Star in a hazy, dreamlike veil.

The innate laurel tree is lush and verdant, its leaves forming a canopy. Each leaf seems to be formed from the purest moonlight, exuding a delicate and refreshing fragrance.

At this moment, a petite and exquisitely beautiful figure, breathtakingly gorgeous, was carefree swinging on a swing, humming an off-key, yet cheerful and innocent little tune.

She wore a light and flowing moon-white palace dress, the hem of which was embroidered with countless lifelike jade rabbits and osmanthus patterns in silver thread. As the swing swayed, the hem of the dress swayed gently.

Ding ding~~
As the swing swayed, a string of golden bells on Chang Xi's wrist jingled crisply.

Looking at the carefree goddess, the laurel tree asked curiously, "Xi, aren't you worried about the Heavenly Emperor?"

"What does he have to worry about?"

Chang Xi shook the golden bell in his right hand, which flashed a dazzling golden light and then transformed into a sun lamp.

"Look, the light is still on, nothing will go wrong." The goddess had a sweet smile on her face.

Just then, a delicate hand reached out and gently stroked the sun lamp.

Huh~~
Lights went out.

Laurel: "."

Chang Xi: "."

They looked at the newcomer.

Wang Shu said nonchalantly, "The moon is so bright, there's no need to light a lamp."

[Yueyuezi] glanced at the indifferent Wang Shu, then looked nervously at Chang Xi, who was about to turn dark.

Is this a problem with the lights?

This is deadly!

Under the instruction of a certain unnamed deity, for a long period of time afterward, various speculations, analyses, and numerous conspiracy theories about the "Heavenly Emperor's seclusion to challenge the Taiyi Daluo" event continued to ferment on the Star Network.

It became the most popular topic of conversation among all living beings in the myriad realms.

As one of the core members of the Heavenly Emperor Dijun's "cabinet" team, Kunpeng naturally had the duty to shoulder the important responsibility of "maintaining the glorious image of the Heavenly Emperor and guiding the correct public opinion."

Every day, he led his massive online army, fighting on the front lines of the StarNet public opinion battle.

Those permanent directors and core members of the Heavenly Way Committee who actually knew some of the "insider information" all showed a surprisingly tacit understanding and calmness regarding this matter.

Although they had some guesses in their hearts, everyone consciously kept quiet and did not reveal even the slightest hint to the outside world.

After all, it involved His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor's "family affairs," and they really shouldn't comment or interfere too much, lest they get burned and cause unnecessary trouble.

Fortunately, just as the heated discussion about the "Heavenly Emperor's seclusion" was about to reach its peak, a super-large online game, "Creator God," was suddenly launched on the StarNet official platform!
This was meticulously crafted by the Ministry of Works of the Taiwei Heavenly Court, who devoted countless efforts and resources to its creation.

Its core purpose is "to create a new world and recreate the primordial wilderness".

Upon its release, this game instantly became a sensation across the entire StarNet thanks to its grand world-building, highly free gameplay mechanics, and breathtaking graphics and simulation of the laws of the universe.

It attracted the attention of almost all young practitioners and beings who yearned for the "creation of heaven and earth".

As a result, under the irresistible charm of "Creator God", the fervor surrounding the Heavenly Emperor's seclusion gradually cooled down.

~~~
"Master, you've worked so hard these past few days!"

In the game world of "Creator God", the cabinet members of the Heavenly Emperor held a meeting.

This meeting was initiated by Taiyi.

He took over the position of the "Sun Supreme," and openly announced that the Heavenly Emperor was going into seclusion in order to appease the anger of a certain deity.

In reality, he was still exercising the powers of the Heavenly Emperor.

Of course, Di Jun was truly in seclusion.

"It's not hard work at all, it's all for His Majesty's service."

Kunpeng was very modest. He said, "If it weren't for His Majesty's foresight in leading the creation of the 'Creator God' project, I'm afraid everyone's attention wouldn't have been drawn away so quickly."

The production studio for the "Creator God" project is Taiyishengshui.

The sponsor behind it is Taiyi Divine Court.

Taiyi, the Lord of the Divine Court, together with Tianfei Yinglong, and the Heavenly Court, jointly created this game.

Because its purpose is consistent with the decree of no taboos issued by the Holy Emperor, and it allows players to refine their cultivation of the Great Dao of Creation, it has won unanimous praise from many cultivators.

Taiyi said, "This is not my achievement!"

"This is also learning from the original method of the Holy Heavenly Emperor, which combines education with entertainment and integrates the cultivation of all living beings with StarNet games."

"In this way, we can lower the threshold for education by using the Star Network, and spread the Great Way, allowing all beings to have a different cultivation experience."

Upon hearing this, many cabinet members nodded in agreement: "The virtue of the Holy Emperor shines through the ages."

Kunpeng said with a devout expression, "We must not only carry on the will of the Holy Heavenly Emperor, but also promote His Majesty's virtues. Only in this way can we lead the Heavenly Court and the Primordial World to the next glorious era!"

"What the Celestial Master says is absolutely right!" Taiyi looked at Kunpeng with admiration in his eyes.

He now understands why his elder brother trusted Kunpeng so much.

Not only is he highly capable, but he is also extremely loyal. Where can you find such a minister?

"Your Majesty, now that everyone believes you are in seclusion, shouldn't we be planning some major actions next?" Bai Ze, Shang Yang, Fei Lian, and the other ten Star Gods looked at Taiyi with expectant expressions.

They were unaware that the brothers Dijun and Taiyi could take turns serving; they only knew that there was still a Heavenly Emperor in the Heavenly Emperor's Palace.

When the Emperor announced his seclusion, he was still in control. If he wasn't planning something in secret, then why?

This idea was so reasonable that everyone looked at Taiyi. Taiyi smiled and nodded slightly to Bai Ze and the others, as if confirming their guess.

This made everyone very excited!

There really are other plans.

We knew the Heavenly Emperor wouldn't suddenly announce a period of seclusion!

[And those conspiracy theories, saying His Majesty was injured and that's why he went into seclusion—isn't that just nonsense?]

Our Emperor is a man of great talent and strategic vision; every action he takes is imbued with profound meaning.

Seeing everyone so excited, Taiyi gestured for silence and then said, "I have some ideas, but they are not yet mature and need everyone's consideration."

"Your Majesty, please speak." The cabinet members listened quietly.

Taiyi Dao said, "Firstly, I want to organize people to study and unify the written language."

"Unify the written language?" Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Taiyi nodded, recalling Taiwei Yuan's original plan No. 1001 of the Bing type—"Several Ideas on the Future Reform of Heavenly Court Education".

Those were some of the ideas of the Twelve Gods of Taiwei regarding the education of all living beings.

The sixth volume of this plan emphasizes the importance of unifying the written language.

Taiyi slowly opened his mouth and said, "Literature can carry the Dao. The innate Dao literature is born together with the Dao, and it contains the innate Dao and principles. All cultivators must learn it."

"The gods of the primordial world were born before the heavens and coexisted with the Dao. They could readily grasp the three thousand Great Daos, and thus understood the innate Dao texts without studying them."

“But beings born later in life lack sufficient foundation and find it difficult to directly learn the innate Dao texts and come into contact with the innate Great Dao.”

"Therefore, the supreme saints and true cultivators of all races would annotate the innate Daoist script, thereby creating distinctive and more universal acquired scripts for acquired beings to learn."

At this moment, Taiyi looked at one of the dragon gods among the cabinet members and said, "For example, the dragon's insignia is a kind of acquired script, which plays an important role in the inheritance of the dragon clan's great path!"

"Your Majesty is right. Our clan's dragon emblem originated from the first character 'water' written by our ancestor, and has since evolved into 129,600 acquired characters, which is an important part of our clan's heritage." The dragon god immediately raised his head and puffed out his chest, as if he were proud of it.

He said, "If any living being can learn three thousand of the commonly used dragon script characters, it will be qualified to transform into a dragon, and will be able to read most of our clan's classics and cultivate our clan's Great Dao."

This dragon god also made a point of promoting the dragon race's philosophy of "all living beings are like dragons".

Although the Ancestral Dragon is no longer here, the various legacies he left behind continue to bless the Dragon Clan.

Even now, the scaled creatures among the myriad races of the primordial world still take pride in learning the dragon script.

After all, this is a true inheritance of the Great Dao; learning it will pave a path of evolution for you.

The Phoenix Clan's Phoenix Script and the Qilin Clan's Qilin Script are both examples of this.

The three primordial races were able to dominate the prehistoric land because they developed rapidly in all aspects and were ahead of other major organizations.

"As Fellow Daoist Ao Ming said, acquired writing plays an important role in the popularization of the Great Dao."

Taiyi said with a serious expression, "But what is the current state of post-natal writing?"

“Disorderly!” Kunpeng replied.

"Yes, it's messy."

Taiyi said, "The same innate Dao script, interpreted from different angles by different races and different gods, will result in different acquired scripts."

"This may be beneficial for the learning of a certain race or a certain world, but it is definitely not conducive to communication between all post-natal beings."

"It is even more detrimental to the development of the Heavenly Court's great cause of education."

Taiyi looked at the Dragon God Aoming: "Fellow Daoist, let me ask you, the Dragon Chapter can be passed on, but if the Phoenix Clan and the Qilin Clan want to learn it, can they learn it freely?"

Dragon God Ao Ming shook his head and said, "Since our clan's script is called Dragon Chapter, it is naturally more convenient for dragon clan members or beings inclined towards the dragon clan to learn."

"They probably won't learn it, because if they did, they'd have to transform into dragons."

He was very calm.

After all, it's an open secret.

"Fellow Daoist Qilin of the Water Element, can other races learn your Qilin Book?" Taiyi asked again.

The Water Qilin shook its head: "To learn the Qilin Book, one must either be a beast or have some knowledge of auspicious omens; otherwise, it will be like looking at flowers through fog, and difficult to learn."

"If ordinary dragons and phoenixes want to learn it, the contents of the Qilin Book will automatically generate the opposite meaning."

Dragon God Ao Ming's expression remained unchanged, clearly indicating that he was aware of this.

"Where is Feng Zhuan?" Taiyi looked at the Phoenix Clan members.

The current White Crane Clan Chief said, "Birds are easy to learn. If ordinary dragons and unicorns learn it, there won't be any major problems, except that they might experience the phenomenon of self-immolation of their writing."

"The more you learn, the more intensely you burn."

“You see, this is another inconvenience between different written languages—the shackles.”

Taiyi looked at his fellow Daoists and said, "When the Holy Heavenly Emperor was in power, he established and promoted the Heavenly Dao Academy, which laid the top-level design for the spread of the Great Dao in the prehistoric world and all realms."

"What we need to do now is to continue to spread the Heavenly Court's educational work to the grassroots."

"Unifying the written language is the only way forward!"

Taiyi spread his arms wide, his eyes shining with idealism: "A prosperous and thriving primordial world not only needs outstanding talents, but also needs all living beings to strive for progress."

"If we can unify the written language and break down the barriers to communication between different races and civilizations, we can let the brilliance of the Three Thousand Great Paths illuminate every corner of the world,"

"Gentlemen, are you willing to join me in advancing this great undertaking?"

Kunpeng was the first to step forward and declare: "Your subject is willing to obey Your Majesty's orders!"

"I'm willing!"

Most of the cabinet members looked excited.

Unifying the written language is a very challenging task.

Instead of backing down, everyone was eager to try.

This act is of great merit!

It is a good thing that benefits the primordial world and all living beings!
There's no reason to refuse.

Taiyi was very pleased to see this.

I've finally managed to fool you all.

The Heavenly Emperor's seclusion was all accidental; there was no major event planned.

It all came down to me copying Taiwei Yuan's previous plans.

"In addition, I have another idea."

Taiyi continued, "Unifying the written language is only the first step. What we need to do next is to create a concept to unify all the major races!"

Upon hearing this, members of the three clans in the cabinet suddenly stood up and offered their advice in unison.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible!"

"To unite one race with all races is a conspiracy of the ancient gods and rebels. We must never follow this old path!"

Ao Ming and the others spoke earnestly.

They were genuinely startled, wondering why the Heavenly Emperor would have such an idea.

It is conceivable that the resistance to implementing this plan would be far greater than that to unifying the written language.

However, Taiichi didn't seem to care.

He said with a smile, "Although Shenni is a scourge of the prehistoric world, some of his ideas still have merit."

"If our Heavenly Court can promote this matter, it will definitely reduce friction between the various races and achieve the great integration of all races in the primordial world."

The many gods remained silent in contemplation.

Even Kunpeng remained silent for a moment.

He asked, "By what concept does Your Majesty wish to unify all races?"

"god!"

Taiyi said without hesitation, "Gods are those who originate from the Dao, and are the embodiment of the innate."

"All races and countless beings yearn to defy their innate nature and transform into gods of the Great Dao."

"If we unite all races in the name of the gods, I think there will be much less resistance."

They looked at each other in bewilderment: "The Protoss?"

"Correct!"

Taiyi said, "I also want to take this opportunity to establish a religion."

"Even the choice for the leader of the cult has been decided."

"Who is it?"

"Naturally, it is Fellow Daoist Nuwa!"

brush!
A burst of colorful light flashed by, and Nuwa, who was experiencing gameplay in the game "Creator God," suddenly slashed out with her sword and then rushed into the conference room.

"The Heavenly Emperor wants to appoint me as the leader of the Divine Cult?" Nuwa, holding the Heavenly Blade, looked at Taiyi indifferently.

Such a huge pot, and you just toss it onto me like that?

Didn't you even discuss it with her?
Taiyi smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, you were once the leader of the Star God Sect. Now, establishing a new sect should be quite simple for you!"
