Primordial Era: If I remain in Longevity Mountain, I will steadily attain sainthood.

Chapter 97 The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors

After Yun Zhongzi returned to the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain and reported to Yuanshi Tianzun, not long afterward, one sage after another descended upon Kunlun Mountain.

The purpose of this discussion was to discuss the great prosperity of the human race and the imminent birth of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

As a sage, the shortcomings in his merits and attainments have long since become apparent.

Therefore, the sages were not particularly greedy for the merits of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, but they still tried to earn some for their disciples.

After this discussion, it was first determined that among the Three Sovereigns, the Heavenly Sovereign should rightfully be Nuwa's elder brother, namely Fuxi.

After all, the human race was created by Nuwa, and Fuxi happened to perish in the Great Tribulation, so now he can become the emperor of the human race.

Afterwards, the Earth Emperor and the Human Emperor were appointed. The Earth Emperor was determined by the sages, who had foreseen that the Xuan Turtle, which had been killed by Tongtian before, still had a wisp of its true spirit that had entered the cycle of reincarnation.

Although this Xuan Turtle has not yet developed its intelligence, it has suffered an undeserved calamity and should be compensated for with this position.

As for the Human Emperor, Xuan Hong, a disciple of the Red Cloud Sect, was chosen to be the only disciple of the Human Sect.

Besides the Three Sovereigns, there were also the Five Emperors, and all the sages had their own arrangements, all of which were deduced from the secrets of heaven.

Choose suitable candidates to serve as the Five Emperors.

Only by identifying these Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors can the path to the great prosperity of the human race be smoother, and their future fortunes will be even more prosperous.

After the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were established, it was time for the Imperial Tutors who would assist them. The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors had merit in attaining enlightenment, and the Imperial Tutors who assisted them also had merit.

After some discussion, Yuanshi Tianzun took the merit of assisting Emperor Fuxi, while Tongtian Jiaozhu took the merit of assisting Emperor Xuan Turtle.

As for the merits of being the Imperial Tutor of Emperor Xuan Hong, those would naturally be assigned by Hong Yun.

As for Zhunti, although he obtained the Chaos Bell and was ambitious, he could not compete for the merits of the Three Sovereigns at all.

In the end, he only obtained the merit of being the imperial tutor of two of the five emperors.

The merits of the three imperial tutors were respectively received by Zhen Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, and Zhen Yuanzi.

The sage Laozi of Taiqing never accepted any merit from beginning to end, which made Hongyun extremely curious.

Houtu, however, did not participate in this discussion, clearly indicating that she also looked down on these merits.

However, once the matter was settled, Hongyun didn't bother with it anymore. After returning home, she discussed it with Zhen Yuanzi and made arrangements.

Not long after, Nuwa arranged for her elder brother to be reincarnated and born into a tribe called Huaxu.

Yuanshi Tianzun sent Guangchengzi, the leader of the Twelve Golden Immortals, to assist him.

This is different from the original Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. In the past, although Fuxi was also a Heavenly Sovereign, it is highly likely that Guangchengzi was not the one who assisted Fuxi.

Because the original Guang Chengzi was the imperial tutor of the Yellow Emperor, of course, Guang Chengzi's assistance to the Yellow Emperor was a complete mess, causing a lot of trouble.

This time, Hongyun directly declared that the Human Emperor was his disciple, but he didn't know if it would have any impact on the future.

If the disciples of the Chan Sect had not committed the precept against killing during the reign of the Human Emperor, would there still be a Great Kalpa?

It's highly likely that it will happen. After all, the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect breaking the precept against killing was actually just a trigger for a great calamity.

The real reason, of course, is not just this small problem. It has led to the entire primordial world of the Three Realms being engulfed in a great calamity.

At most, the Twelve Golden Immortals were just a fuse!

This time, the succession of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors went smoothly. After Guang Chengzi assisted Fuxi in becoming the Heavenly Sovereign, the Earthly Sovereign Xuan Gui, or Shennong, followed.

The Xuan Turtle was reborn as a human, and in this life, he was called Lieshan. However, because he brought great innovations to humankind in agriculture, people called him Shennong.

Shennong's teacher was appointed by Tongtian Jiaozhu, and the one sent was Duobao Daoren, the eldest disciple of the Jiejiao.

As usual, without any unexpected events, after Shennong achieved his goal of completing his merits, he also attained the position of Earthly Sovereign.

Then came the Human Emperor. After Xuan Hong was reborn into the human race, he was named Xuanyuan, and became the Yellow Emperor.

Hongyun dispatched three disciples, Xuanfeng, Kongxuan, and Xuanpeng, to assist him.

This time, unlike before, there was no chaos caused by Chi You, after all, Hongyun and Houtu had a very good relationship.

Houtu naturally wouldn't cause trouble for Hongyun.

After Xuanyuan became the Human Emperor, he ushered in the era of the Five Emperors: Zhuanxu, Diku, Yao, Shun, Yu... The experiences of these five emperors were not much different from those of the original emperors.

However, for the saints, these were all minor matters and not worth mentioning.

The reigns of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors brought about a great prosperity for the human race, making them the protagonists of heaven and earth, and ensuring their continued flourishing.

However, after the Five Emperors, the human race underwent new changes. Originally, the succession of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors was based on the abdication system.

However, after Yu the Great, the system was changed to a hereditary system, and the original public domain became a family domain.

Qi, the son of Yu the Great, established the first dynasty of the human race, named Xia.

However, the rise and fall of dynasties and the ebb and flow of fortune are inevitable. Although the Xia Dynasty was glorious for a time, it also had its moments of decline.

After the last ruler, Jie, was defeated and died, the Xia Dynasty was taken over by Cheng Tang, who then established the Shang Dynasty!

Thirty-three heavens beyond, in the Pure Heaven, on this day, Hongyun emerged from seclusion and suddenly had a thought, looking towards the Three Realms of the Primordial World.

Then they saw that the aura of calamity and evil between heaven and earth was being swept away and was beginning to surge again.

Hongyun knew that another great calamity was about to begin.

The Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods. In this very tribulation, the Tongtian Sect Leader suffered a complete defeat, and his entire sect was wiped out—a truly tragic end!

However, now, due to his own changes, there are many variables. Will the Tongtian Sect Leader still be the same as before?

Hongyun shook his head. Over the years, he and Zhen Yuanzi had never left Qingjingtian, only cultivating and comprehending outside the Thirty-Three Heavens.

However, his cultivation level did not improve much.

Neither he nor Zhen Yuanzi succeeded in merging the three corpses, and the progress of the world's path to enlightenment was also slow.

The Qiankun World was upgraded from the Great Thousand World to the Eternal World approximately tens of millions of years ago.

But to make further progress, to advance from an eternal world to an endless world, would be difficult.

Three thousand great worlds are equal in size to one eternal world. And an endless world is made up of three thousand eternal worlds.

And this is just a simple comparison based on the world's energy and size; there are many deeper factors that have not been taken into account.

This made Hongyun somewhat tempted by the advice Hongjun had once given him.

But, to devour the primordial world?

He used his eternal world to devour an endless world, the highest level of endless world at that.

This is a difficult thought to even consider.

Unless Hongjun is genuinely trying to help him, he would have no chance of accomplishing this on his own.

However, Hongyun dared not believe Hongjun!

Hongjun is now the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao, in the eyes of the sages, is the most unpredictable and terrifying.

Hongyun wouldn't have done this if she couldn't fully understand Hongjun's thoughts.

I'd rather my cultivation be slower, even if it's slower.

Anyway, now, although I am far inferior to the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao can no longer completely control me.

By proving his Dao through the world, Hongyun attained his own Primordial Dao Fruit. If Heaven truly wanted to force him, he could simply leave the Primordial World and escape into Chaos.

He could then bring Zhen Yuanzi and his disciples along, and live a carefree life.

Just like Yang Mei, the reincarnation of the Space Demon God!
