This is so dishonest!

Chapter 402 Di Jun: I'm a father? The child is Taiyi's?
Taiyi pondered for a moment and then made a request to Xuanqing.

"If possible, when Fellow Daoist Jidu retrieves the true spirit of Emperor Donghua, could you please try to use his identity as the [Great Emperor Qinghua of the East] as the primary entity to retrieve Donghua?"

He knew in his heart that Emperor Donghua was, after all, a generation of immortal emperor who had once ruled the celestial court and commanded all immortals, and his arrogance was beyond imagination.

But the [Eastern Qinghua Emperor] is different.

This was the pseudonym used by Emperor Donghua in the Zhou Tian Starry Sky.

By reclaiming this identity, Donghua was essentially brought back, and at the same time, it gave Emperor Donghua a way out.

The Eastern Qinghua Emperor, who also belongs to the Zhou Tian Star Gods, was rescued by the Taiwei Heavenly Emperor and continued his cultivation journey. What does this have to do with my former Immortal Emperor?
This sounds much better than saying "the former Celestial Emperor Donghua Dijun has been resurrected and is willing to serve under the new Heavenly Emperor".

However, to Taiyi's surprise, Xuanqing slowly shook his head after hearing the request.

"The plan to indirectly retrieve the true spirit of Emperor Donghua through the identity of the [Eastern Qinghua Emperor] is not feasible."

"Oh? Why is that?" Taiyi was startled upon hearing this and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Could there be some other unexpected event?"

This was the first time he had ever heard of the existence of Xuan Qing, who was beyond saving.

Not only was Taiyi surprised, but the other Taiwei deities present, such as Zhunti, Yuanhuang, Wangshu, and Zhenyuanzi, also turned their heads and cast questioning glances at Xuanqing.

In their minds, [Dark Omen Jidu Supreme] Xuan Qing is undoubtedly the "Number One in the Primordial World" when it comes to the professional field of "rescuing people"!
Now, he's actually saying "it's impossible to make money"?
Xuan Qing met the inquisitive and puzzled gazes of the crowd, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said leisurely:

"The reason is simply that the identity and position of the [Eastern Qinghua Emperor] no longer belong to the Eastern Emperor."

"Therefore, trying to retrieve the true spirit of Emperor Donghua through this already occupied channel is basically an impossible task."

"ah?!!"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, not only was Taiyi stunned, but the other Taiwei deities also turned their heads in surprise.

No, who could be so wicked?

Even the identities of the dead are being stripped away?

Only the Supreme Being and the Styx knew the truth.

Almost simultaneously, one name came to their minds—Taiyi Zhenren!
It's unbelievable that someone could do something as despicable as "taking advantage of your illness to kill you and then inherit all your assets," and that they could do it so openly, so confidently, and even leave the victim speechless with grievances.

Who else could it be but their own people who spread the teachings?

After Taiyi Zhenren attained the Great Luo Supreme status, he naturally merged with the position of the Eastern Qinghua Emperor, one of the Nine Primordial Qi.

This not only laid a solid foundation for Taiyi Zhenren to attain the Dao of Primordial Beginning in the future, but also allowed him to formally inherit the Great Dao legacy of Donghua.

Upon hearing this, the gods of Taiwei calculated with their fingers, and the previously hidden secrets of heaven were revealed.

Everyone clearly calculated that the title of "Eastern Qinghua Emperor" had indeed been inherited.

"Since things have come to this, we have no choice but to find another solution," Taiyi said with a hint of regret.

Yuan Huang, the Venerable Yinghuo, said from the side, "It seems that Emperor Donghua is cultivating multiple Great Daos. Since the Great Emperor Dongfang Qinghua, who represents the Great Dao of Wood, has already been taken, we can change to another path, such as the Great Dao of Pure Yang."

“That makes sense.” Xuan Qing nodded, his face showing approval. He slowly said, “We want to successfully and completely retrieve the true spirit of Emperor Donghua from that endless river of time and the void of nothingness.”

"Furthermore, it is necessary to ensure that after his return, he can put aside his former airs as an Immortal Emperor and willingly cooperate with the Heavenly Court to jointly advance the great cause of the Divine Sect. At the same time, it is also to give him a less awkward way out."

"Perhaps we could consider slightly modifying his innate foundation and the origin of the Great Dao."

At this point, Xuanqing looked at Taiyi and tentatively said, "For example, we can try to cleverly merge and reshape the Heavenly Emperor's [Great Sun Dao] origin with the Eastern Emperor's [Pure Yang Dao] origin."

"Thus creating a completely new path, somewhere between the two, yet unique in its own right—the [Shaoyang Path]!"

"【Shaoyang Dao】?" Upon hearing this, Taiyi raised his eyebrows slightly again, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

"Yes! It's Shaoyang Avenue!"

The Supreme Lord, who was standing nearby, immediately perked up and chimed in with a smile:

"Your Majesty, consider this: the sun is the ultimate yang, and the moon is the ultimate yin. Lesser yang, however, is lesser yin within yang. It is the initial generation of yang energy, full of vitality. It possesses both the intense brightness of the sun and the robust and upright nature of pure yang. Its Daoist principles and status are truly extraordinary!"

"In the future, let this Donghua Emperor, who has returned with the [Shaoyang Dao], cooperate with you, who is in charge of the [Taiyang Dao], to become an important member of the future 'Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors' of the God Race."

"Not only will it be legitimate, but it will also demonstrate His Majesty's magnanimity and will definitely help you to successfully implement your grand plan of 'unifying the divine race'!"

“Jing Yao is right!” The cool voice of [Taiyin Shangzun] Wang Shu rang out at the opportune moment.

A faint smile flickered in her beautiful eyes.

Wang Shu immediately proposed a highly constructive "technical solution".

"Actually, it's not difficult to transform this [Shaoyang Avenue]."

"I remember, didn't His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor possess a primordial Fusang Divine Tree?"

Wang Shu said, "This tree is formed from the essence of the sun and is most closely related to the origin of the sun's great path."

“We can fully utilize the [Innate Fusang Tree] as a guide, supplemented by Fellow Daoist Jingyao’s special elixir power, and Fellow Daoist Jidu’s ability to reverse life and death, and take a three-pronged approach.”

"In this way, we will surely be able to successfully modify the innate foundation of Emperor Donghua, helping him to return to the Primordial World with a brand-new body of the [Shaoyang Dao]!"

"This...this isn't quite right, is it?" Upon hearing this, Taiyi's face immediately showed a hint of hesitation.

This plan seems quite suitable at first glance.

But he instinctively sensed something was wrong.

Using the innate Fusang Divine Tree as a catalyst, they will help Donghua Dijun correct his origins and return to his original state.

This sounds a bit strange, doesn't it?

"I've inexplicably gained a seniority, so will Emperor Donghua be willing to cooperate properly after his return?"

"Don't worry, I can handle it!"

The drowsy Zhen Yuanzi, the Supreme Lord of the Earth Star, suddenly felt wide awake.

His eyes lit up, and he suddenly raised his right hand, excitedly shouting, "Your Majesty! This job is tailor-made for me!"

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Zhen Yuanzi revealed a confident smile.

He patted his chest and said cheerfully, "I specialize in the [Great Path of Civil Engineering]! So it's perfectly reasonable for me to have the supernatural ability of transplanting flowers and grafting trees, right?"

"Using innate spiritual roots to modify the origins of innate deities—that's my specialty!"

【Venerable Taibai】Zhunti asked curiously, "Fellow Daoist, you speak with such certainty, are there any verifiable cases?"

"Yes, fellow Daoist, yes!"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi's smile grew even brighter. He nodded repeatedly, his tone filled with undisguised pride and self-satisfaction.

"I have transformed innate sacred beings into innate spiritual roots many times. Now, if we reverse the process, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to change [pure yang] into [lesser yang]?"

The gods fell silent upon hearing this.

The case you're talking about, could it be about yourself?

~~~~
"good!"

[The Venerable Jupiter] Fuxi also clapped his hands in praise, saying, "This method can not only provide Fellow Daoist Donghua with a brand new starting point, but also cleverly resolve the awkwardness and estrangement that his former status as an Immortal Emperor may bring."

"This will enable it to integrate into the future theological system with a more detached and proactive attitude." "Brilliant! Truly brilliant!"

After exchanging a few polite words, [Jupiter Supreme] Fuxi looked at Zhen Yuanzi and said, "Earth and wood, where there is earth, there is wood. How about I assist you, fellow Daoist?"

He also wanted to see what the modified [Emperor Shaoyang] would look like.

"That's great!" Zhen Yuanzi laughed.

With Fuxi's "leading support," everyone became active again.

"Let me show you my [Earth and Wood Sacred Scripture]!" Zhen Yuanzi, the [Supreme Lord of Saturn], took out an ancient scroll from his sleeve, radiating a thick, earthy-yellow light and boundless vitality of the Wood element, and said confidently:
"Your Majesty, please look, this is the 'General Outline of Innate Spiritual Root Grafting and Divine Foundation Modification Techniques' (also known as 'The Essence of the Civil Engineering Bible'), which I have compiled with countless eons of painstaking effort!"

"It details the unique secret methods for using the Earth Mother's Qi and the essence of innate Yi Wood to 'optimize genes, upgrade the Dao body,' and even 'reshape the foundation' of innate deities of various attributes!"

"I guarantee that I can forge Fellow Daoist Donghua's [Lesser Yang Dao Body] to be even more robust, more perfect, and with even greater potential than his previous [Pure Yang Immortal Body]!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Huang, the Supreme Lord of Yinghuo, smiled and replied, "Since it is the Great Dao of Lesser Yang, it cannot be separated from the power of fire element."

"At that time, I will draw upon the essence of the Southern Bright Fire of the Nine Heavens, supplemented by the origin of the True Fire of the Sun, to temper the Daoist body of Fellow Daoist Donghua, burning away all the dust and karmic forces of the past, and helping him to welcome his new life in the purest and most powerful form!"

[Taiwei Shangxiang] Nuwa then took out a crystal-clear jade bottle and a precious seal that was shrouded in five-colored light, and said softly:

"The Three Lights Divine Water can cleanse the true spirit and stabilize the soul; the Nine Heavens Breath Soil can reshape the physical body and nurture life. Although these two things are meager, I hope they can contribute to Fellow Daoist Donghua's return."

【Venus Supreme】Zhunti and 【Void Moon Supreme】Minghe spoke in unison:
"We are also willing to lend a hand to replenish some of the innate merits and fortune lost during its fall and silence, so as to help it recover its vitality as soon as possible and return to its peak!"

At this moment, Wang Shu, the Supreme Lord of Taiyin, also spoke calmly: "If Donghua can return in the form of Shaoyang, he will shine brightly alongside His Majesty's Taiyang."

"With my [Taiyin] mediating, it may be possible to achieve a harmonious union of the sun and moon, which would also be beneficial."

Taiyi looked at his Taiwei colleagues, who were usually either "stirring things up" or "preparing to stir things up," and now they were all so enthusiastic and eager to contribute their best skills and rare treasures for the sake of "retrieving Emperor Donghua."

He couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion, and... a mixture of amusement and disbelief.

You guys are being so proactive, you don't seem to have some ulterior motive, do you?

After much deliberation, Taiyi finally agreed to the plan.

In any case, the outcome is always good.

Therefore, Taiyi bowed solemnly to the Taiwei deities once again and said loudly, "I am deeply grateful for the noble character of my fellow Daoists! Since that is the case, I entrust this matter to you all! Whatever resources are needed, whatever authority is required, I will provide full support!"

"Good! Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor is generous!"

"Let's get started!"

After finalizing the plan, the gods of Taiwei immediately began to act.

"Fellow Daoist Jidu, you shall take the lead in retrieving the true spirit!"

"Brother Jingyao, the Heaven-Defying Divine Pill is now up to you!"

"Fellow Daoist Zhenxing, in civil engineering, you must strive for perfection!"

"Fellow Daoist Yinghuo, the control of the fire depends entirely on you!"

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, the Three Lights Breath Soil"

The Heavenly Emperor Taiyi assigned tasks to everyone.

Then he returned to the Sun Star and borrowed a branch from the Fusang Tree.

~~~~
When the gods of Taiwei work together, there is almost nothing they cannot accomplish.

After nine days and nine nights of hard work, they finally achieved results.

"Attention everyone! My Ten-Turn Rejuvenation Pill is almost finished, everyone get out of the way!"

The Supreme Lord shouted loudly, and all the gods retreated.

boom! !

The alchemy furnace was opened, and a great golden light shone forth.

A perfectly round pill flew out and merged into a form and spirit that had already been sculpted.

That deity was tall and slender, with a handsome face, like a celestial being, and bore some resemblance to Taiyi.

This is none other than the Fusang Emperor who possesses the [Shaoyang Dao].

"Come!"

Xuan Qing waved his hand and sent a wisp of true spirit into the body of the Fusang Emperor.

"Return the wind and fire!"

Yuanhuang refined its original essence.

"graft!"

Zhen Yuanzi and Fuxi followed closely behind, each sticking a talisman onto the forehead of the Fusang Emperor!
woohoo~~~
A sudden, intense heat storm arose!
"Quickly, innate merit!" Xuan Qing shouted.

"it is good!"

Zhunti and Styx were overjoyed. The two joined forces and used the Heavenly Dao of Merit to infuse merit into the Emperor of Fusang.

In an instant, the Emperor of Fusang was radiant with golden light.

"I am the Great Emperor of Fusang!"

Boom~~
Within the Taiwei Enclosure, a celestial sound resounded.

Taiyi was overjoyed upon seeing this.

He stepped forward warmly, opened his arms, and welcomed them, saying:

"Congratulations on your return, fellow Daoist!"

The Emperor of Fusang opened his eyes and looked at Taiyi, his face also showing joy.

He excitedly uttered two words.

"Father!"

Click~~
Taiyi's smile froze, and he was instantly petrified.

"What did you call me?" Taiichi's eyes widened, his lips trembling.

Brush brush brush~~~
Before anyone could react, the Fusang Emperor suddenly began to spin, splitting into ten, transforming from a handsome young man into ten teenagers.

They surrounded Taiyi and said in unison:

"Father!"

Taiyi stammered incoherently, his face turning red with embarrassment.

He looked flustered and immediately covered his face with his sleeve before fleeing.
