Jackie Chan Adventures: I have everything I need now

"good!"

At this moment, inside the Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun's voice was heavy, and a hint of dissatisfaction flickered in his eyes.

Clearly, today's events were initiated by the gods themselves.

His only eyelid was removed just like that; how could he accept it?!
If it weren't for the alliance between the Earthly Dao and the Human Dao, the Heavenly Dao would have been forced to submit to one side. Hongjun would have made a move long ago, to reason with the gods and see who had the bigger fist.

Unfortunately, before the war between the gods and humans, the interests of the gods and Houtu were already aligned. Now that they are on the same side, Hongjun is not surprised.

However, what puzzled Hongjun was why all the gods wanted to destroy the Investiture of the Gods.

The Heavenly Court governs the rules of heaven and earth and the movement of stars. Hongjun's order to manage the Jade Pool in the Heavenly Palace does indeed imply a monitoring of the primordial world.

However, more than anything, it was because Haotian Yaochi couldn't bear to stay with him in this desolate Zixiao Palace, so it was better to give up on going to the prehistoric land.

Unexpectedly, this has brought about such a disaster.

It is fate.

After some thought, Hongjun abandoned the idea of ​​arguing with Shendu and instead calmly asked, "I wonder, fellow Daoists, how should the reorganization of the Primordial Heavenly Court be divided?"

Upon hearing this, Houtu's eyes flickered with contemplation before fading away.

She said, "My underworld is already troublesome enough."

"This matter concerning the Heavenly Court shall be left for you two to discuss yourselves."

Having said that, as if worried that the two would continue arguing, Houtu's figure turned into nothingness and disappeared into the Zixiao Palace.

It wasn't just Houtu herself, but also Styx Ancestor and Zhen Yuanzi.

After Styx successfully slayed the Saint and obtained the Dao Fruit of the Heavenly Dao Saint Zhunti, Houtu invited Styx to become the Lord of the Asura Path, one of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

This is also a legitimate holy position.

Back then, among the many powerful beings who came to the Nine Netherworld Reincarnation to listen to the Dao, regardless of whether Styx had the position of Lord of the Asura Path, it can be said without a doubt that the position of Earthly Saint was specially tailor-made for Styx.

However, because Styx was obsessed with killing saints to prove his Dao, Houtu did not insist on inviting him. Instead, she waited for him to become a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian before inviting him to serve as a Daoist saint.

As the three departed, Hongjun's gaze sharpened, causing the surrounding atmosphere to freeze, as if a chill had swept through.

Shen Du glared at him, and their eyes met in a sudden, intense stare, causing the saints and the Grand Luo Immortals in the Purple Cloud Palace to shiver involuntarily.

Their argument thus came to an end.

"What do you mean, fellow Daoist?!" Hongjun's voice was indifferent, as if questioning why the Heavenly Court's Investiture of the Gods was destroyed.

In contrast, Shen Du, with an indifferent attitude, spread his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist, you already understand my meaning, why ask?!"

"Let's discuss how to rebuild the Heavenly Court!"

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the Three Pure Ones, the Three Ancestors, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and the Two Sages of the West below flashed with sharp divine light.

With a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, all he wanted was to seize the throne of Heaven.

"Humph!"

Hongjun let out a cold snort, and then a wisp of light flashed from his fingertip, gradually transforming into the Investiture of the Gods, which had been destroyed by Sun Wukong.

It is, after all, a divine book; how could it be destroyed because of this?

But it's not as good as before.

Just as Hongjun was about to speak, Shendu, quick as a flash, said calmly, "Fellow Daoist, there's no need to use the Heavenly Book of Investiture of the Gods for the matter of re-establishing the Heavenly Court!"

"The saints and golden immortals present here, I think, all desire the exalted positions in the Heavenly Court."

Upon hearing this, the Ancestral Dragon spoke up, "My Dragon Clan desires one of the Six Emperors of Heaven, the Eastern Azure Emperor, and in addition, we also wish to control the power to control the clouds and rain throughout the primordial world!"

"My Qilin clan controls the primordial earth veins."

"My Phoenix Clan, in charge."

"I expound the teachings"

"I am the Intercepting Sect"

"My demon race"

"..."

As soon as he said that, almost everyone in Zixiao Palace spoke up and volunteered to take the order.

After a few words, all the positions in the Heavenly Court were divided up.

Even the position of the Jade Emperor, the ruler of the Three Realms, has been erased by them and replaced by the Heavenly Emperor.

Haotian Yaochi, standing here, watched with faces flushed red, his heart burning with rage, yet he dared not rebuke those who had seized power from the Heavenly Court.

Simply because none of them were people they could afford to offend.

In the end, Haotian Yaochi could only look ahead at Hongjun, who was surrounded by three thousand Heavenly Dao Laws, and cried out, "Master, they have gone too far! Please, Master, do justice for us!"

He cried out, causing Sanqing and the others to roll their eyes.

He was crying and sobbing, showing no trace of the demeanor of a primordial emperor.

Realizing this, Yuanshi Tianzun of the Chan Sect, who already disapproved of Haotian Yaochi's complaint, directly said, "In this manner, do you, the Primordial Heavenly Emperor, deserve to sit here?!"

"Why don't we change it as soon as possible!"

"In my opinion, Guang Chengzi, the head of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, is the teacher of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan and also a Golden Immortal of Fortune and Virtue!"

"This throne of Heavenly Emperor should be occupied by my first disciple, Guang Chengzi!"

As these words fell, Haotian Yaochi turned and glared angrily at Yuanshi.

Unfortunately, Yuanshi Tianzun adopted a fearless attitude, showing no fear of the gazes of the two ants.

Even when Hongjun's gaze fell upon him, Yuanshi remained indifferent.

Why is that?!

This is because, during the last time the Three Pure Ones merged into one, Pangu's primordial spirit appeared.

The Fallen Saint Pill that Hongjun used to control the Three Pure Ones within their bodies had already turned to dust.

Moreover, the Three Pure Ones had a feeling that as long as their primordial spirits merged and they summoned their father god Pangu, no living being in the primordial world would be their match.

Even if this being merged with the Dao, Hongjun, their teacher, could not possibly be a match for Pangu's primordial spirit.

However, calling him a teacher shows a great deal of respect for Hongjun.

Since the end of the Investiture of the Gods war, when he was deceived into swallowing the Fallen Saint Pill, the bond between master and disciple had already fractured.

If it weren't for the difference in strength, and the need to avoid a complete falling out, things wouldn't have come to this!
"In my opinion, the position of Heaven should be held by a member of the demon race."

Upon hearing this, Hongjun sternly declared, "The sins of the demon race are evident in the past, and the lich and demon are already a stark reminder of them. How can the living beings of this world tolerate a member of the demon race serving as the Primordial Heavenly Emperor again!"

"Fellow Daoist Shen Du, your words are unacceptable!"

A demon becomes the Heavenly Emperor?!
Do you want to plunge the primordial world into conflict once again?!
"Then who will take on this role?!"

"Your disciple, fellow Daoist?"

"The Jade Pool of Haotian?!"

Shen Du asked back leisurely, without feeling any sense of impropriety.

After all, Hongjun's selfish motives were practically common knowledge.

When discussing the re-establishment of the Heavenly Court, all six sages had put forward their candidates, but the old fox Hongjun chose none of them, opting instead for his own attendant, Haotian Yaochi.

"This"

Hongjun's gaze fell into deep thought. He glanced at Haotian Yaochi below, who was crying out in distress, and felt a pang of pity.

However, appointing these two as Heavenly Emperors would likely not be well-received by the public.

"What should we do then?!"

Hongjun was also unsure of what to do, but he couldn't let the gods decide the position of the Heavenly Emperor.

Immediately, his gaze involuntarily turned to the primordial land, and noticing the chaos in the human world, he thought of something and spoke with a half-smile, "Fellow Daoist Shendu, the position of Heavenly Emperor is not something we can say for sure!"

“It is born from itself.”

After saying that, he turned to look at the saints and the Grand Luo Golden Immortals and said, "If you want the position of Heavenly Emperor, you must send a wisp of your divine soul to be reincarnated and go to the human race. Whoever can seize the position of the next Human Emperor will become the Heavenly Emperor!"

Having said that, Hongjun's gaze fell on Shen Du again, and he said, "I wonder, what do you think of my decision, fellow Daoist?"

The god did not answer, but instead turned his gaze to the land below, to the territory of the human race on the primordial earth.

At this very moment, war rages across the human realm, and there is no sign of prosperity whatsoever.

Even the god frowned. Logically, the divine powers he had bestowed upon Ying Yinman should have been enough to ensure the Qin Dynasty's eternal existence. But why had such chaos occurred?!

After a quick mental calculation, he suddenly realized the truth.

Because he believed that there was no eternal dynasty in the world, and the conflict between the common people and nobles in the Qin territory was getting worse and worse, even Ying Yinman could not control it.

In addition, after many years, Ying Yinman was no longer the same as before. She believed that the Qin Dynasty should last forever, so she let the world be in chaos.

The Qin Dynasty declined as a result, but the Ying clan nobles endured.

After considering the pros and cons, Shendu slowly nodded, "Agreed!"

"Then let's do as you say, fellow Daoist!"

Upon hearing this, Hongjun nodded.

Then, the two turned to look at the Three Pure Ones and the others, and said, "Do you understand the position of the Heavenly Emperor?"

"We understand!"

They all responded.

"If that's the case, then you may take the various positions of the Heavenly Emperor yourselves."

"The position of Heavenly Emperor will remain vacant for now. Once one of your divine souls is reincarnated and successfully governs the world, he/she can assume the position of Heavenly Emperor."

Hongjun didn't want to dwell on the other positions in Heaven anymore, and spoke up to end everything that was bothering him.

As soon as he uttered these words, Hongjun turned to look at Shen Du, as if asking, "Is this matter appropriate?"

Seeing this, Shendu nodded in tacit agreement.

"good!"

One word was uttered.

Soon, as the discussions in the Heavenly Court concluded, everyone returned to the prehistoric world.

In the Zixiao Palace, Haotian Yaochi knelt on both knees, looking at Hongjun, tears welling up in her eyes.

This is simply too much!
The throne of the Heavenly Emperor is gone!

She's lost her title as the Queen of Pop!
Upon seeing this, Hongjun Laozu sighed, "Haotian Yaochi, you should return to the Heavenly Court."

"My lord, there is no place for a child in the Heavenly Court. It would be better for him to stay in the Zixiao Palace and serve you!"

"I hope you will grant my request, sir!"

Upon hearing this, Hongjun felt quite helpless. It seemed that Haotian Yaochi was unwilling to return to the Heavenly Court. After all, even if she could become a Great Emperor, she would still be weak and unable to contend with Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortals and Saints.

Seeing this, Hongjun did not refuse. He simply sat cross-legged on the futon and said calmly, "Alright!"

"If that's the case, then stay."

After saying this, Hongjun raised his hand and transformed Haotian Yaochi back into his former child form.

Then, looking down at the Peach Garden of the Primordial Heavenly Court, he moved it to the backyard of Zixiao Palace in an instant, and thousands of peach trees were transformed once again into top-grade innate spiritual root Ren Water Peach.

"..."

The primordial world.

Various factions have moved into the Heavenly Court.

Just like in the era of witches and demons, the demon race controls the celestial bodies and is responsible for the rotation of the stars.

The dragon race controls the clouds and rain, and for cultivators, it represents the number of tribulations they must overcome.

The Qilin clan controls the operation of the primordial earth veins.

The Phoenix Clan holds sway over human fortune and misfortune.

Each sect of the Sages has its own specific role.

In short, the Heavenly Court, which is currently being rebuilt, is essentially powerless to govern anyone else.

After all, they are all people from various powerful forces.

It is only responsible for the operation of heaven and earth and the changes in rules.

As for superiors and subordinates?!
does not exist.

Meanwhile, in the cycle of reincarnation in the Nine Netherworlds.

Houtu looked at the three ancestors who came to her underworld for reincarnation as if they were dead: Donghuang Taiyi, the Three Pure Ones, Zhunti, and Jieyin.

I wonder what illness they have?

It's nothing unusual; a wisp of one's soul can be separated and reincarnated.

Why not move Donghuang Taiyi? It's because the primordial world is now governed by the Great Dao.

The resurrection of the eleven ancestral witches is a foregone conclusion.

The old grudges were wiped out during the battle between the gods and humans.

What's wrong with the Three Pure Ones? Like these people, they've cast aside a wisp of their divine soul to reincarnate!
Houtu really couldn't understand what these people were thinking.

However, she went with them.

Meanwhile, inside Flower and Fruit Mountain.

After returning to his secluded retreat in the Water Curtain Cave following his rampage through the Heavenly Palace, Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, found himself lost in a dream.

"Goku!"

The familiar voice rang in his ears, making Sun Wukong's heart tremble. He excitedly said, "Master, I have done what you asked me to do!"

"Good good!"

Shen Du's figure appeared, and he spoke with satisfaction.

"Wukong, are you struggling to break through to the next level?"

"Master, how did you know that I, Old Sun, am troubled because I cannot break through to a higher level?!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Du smiled and said, "Wukong, after the Primordial Golden Immortal, there is the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal. This realm cannot be broken through overnight!"

"You have only broken through to the half-step Grand Luo Golden Immortal. If you want to break through to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal, you need to accumulate some foundation over time."

"One should not be swayed by momentary pleasure!"

Sun Wukong found this statement quite reasonable.

But then another question arose, and he looked up and asked, "Master, I've finished what you asked me to do. Is there anything else you need?"

With the Investiture of the Gods destroyed, he had fulfilled his master's instructions.

But what could the gods possibly want with him now?

Upon hearing this, Shen Du began to speak in a mystical tone, “Wukong, in the past, when the great god Pangu created the world, he slew three thousand demon gods of chaos. Their resentment lies on the road between the East and the West.”

"I hope that you will soon escort a monk from the East to the West!"

"I don't know you, Wukong."

"Master, I, Old Sun, have no problem with this matter."

"But I, Old Sun, am curious, why should I, Old Sun, escort a bald monk to the Western Paradise to retrieve the scriptures?"

Sun Wukong hurriedly interrupted Shen Du's words and asked, puzzled.

Shen Du chuckled softly, "The resentment of the demon gods will resurrect three thousand demon gods. The journey to the West is merely the surface. I hope that you can extinguish the resentment of the demon gods along the way!"

"Your cultivation is for war!"

"Along the way, you can also cultivate your foundation to break through to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong suddenly realized the truth.

Ever since he returned from his rampage in the Heavenly Palace, he had a vague feeling that there was a powerful aura in Kunlun Mountain, the seabed of the East China Sea, the west, the south, and the north, each of which could suppress him.

Sun Wukong was extremely unwilling and wanted to break through.

However, his breakthrough requires fighting to the very end; if he goes to those places to cause trouble, he'll probably find it difficult to escape.

Now that a great road has been offered to him, how could he possibly refuse it!

He immediately agreed to what God wanted him to do.
