Simulating the primordial era? That's way too extreme.

Chapter 18, the most enjoyable episode.

Seeing your humble demeanor, Guang Chengzi couldn't help but naturally adopt the arrogance of a sage's disciple. Under normal circumstances, in front of members of their great sect, let alone a third-rate underage Heavenly Official Chieftain like yourself, even your own father, the Golden Flood Dragon King, would be extremely respectful and dare not offend you in the slightest.

[Having quickly ascertained your background, learning that you are merely from a second-rate sea tribe and that your efforts to promote civilization among humans are simply a means to gain political achievements and promotions, the previously cautious Guang Chengzi felt relieved and stopped addressing you as "fellow Daoist," casually calling you "young friend."]

[Guang Chengzi, representing hundreds of disciples from the two religions, calmly instructed you, telling you that you no longer needed to manage the human race; from now on, the education and civilization of the human race would be entirely their responsibility.]

Faced with the domineering behavior of the sage's disciples, you dared not speak out in anger. Of course, you knew what these people were after—nothing more than accumulating merit. The domineering sage's disciples would not allow any insignificant nobody to interfere with their great cause of accumulating merit.

[But you dare not do anything, after all, the other side has many people and is all highly skilled. You, a second-rate sea race member and a ragtag Xuanxian, really dare not do anything.]

So you slunk away, leading over a thousand of your brothers and sisters, and left the human race that you had ruled for seven hundred years.

[You returned to Heaven, and upon learning of your ordeal, your master, the Sun Star Lord, was furious, and in his rage, he unleashed a furious attack...]

[There's no other way. Even the Sun Star Lord can't afford to offend a sage's disciple. After comforting you, he promised to find you another lucrative position to gain experience. If you just patiently wait a few more years, he can still help you get back into the Heavenly Court's central leadership. At that time, becoming a righteous god won't be a problem.]

[But you know that the human race is the protagonist of destiny, and will definitely overthrow the rule of the Heavenly Court in the future. No matter how high an official you become in the Heavenly Court, it will be of no use in the end. From the moment Guang Chengzi kicked you out of the human race, you were already destined not to be able to benefit from the human race's contribution to the rise of the new dynasty...]

[Every time you think about this, you feel incredibly frustrated. Finally, one day, anger rises in your heart, and evil thoughts take hold. Since you have no hope anyway, even if you die, you'll take a few disciples of the sages down with you. What I can't have, you can't have either!]

The next day, find an excuse to ask your master, the Sun Star Lord, to introduce you to the Heavenly Emperor. The Sun Star Lord thought you wanted to file a complaint against the Sage's disciple before the Heavenly Emperor. Although he felt it would be useless, he still helped you.

[With the introduction of the Sun Star Lord, you arrived at the Thirty-Third Heaven, where the Heavenly Emperor resides. Here, you secretly met with the Heavenly Emperor.]

Upon seeing the Heavenly Emperor on the throne, you immediately knelt down and solemnly confessed to him the disloyal acts of Guang Chengzi and his disciples. However, your purpose was not merely to report their illegal activities, but to accuse Guang Chengzi and his associates of plotting to overthrow the Heavenly Court and the demon race! Their crimes were unforgivable!

[Di Jun: ...]

[Sun Star Lord: ...]

[To gain the Heavenly Emperor's trust, you half-truthfully misled him, claiming that the disciples of the Jie Chan sect were arrogant and domineering outside, but extremely approachable to humans. Whatever humans wanted, Guang Chengzi would give them, treating them with even more filial piety than their own fathers.]

[These opportunistic scoundrels are behaving extremely strangely this time. What does this indicate?]

The Heavenly Emperor seemed lost in thought...

[You then said mysteriously: The Jie and Chan sects are recruiting disciples among the human race and brainwashing them, teaching them rebellious ideas, and privately claiming that humans are inherently superior to demons and beasts, and that demons are only fit to be dogs of humans, intending to instill extreme human supremacy in humans.]

[Under such a perpetually corrupt and human-centric education system, humans will inevitably harbor anti-demon sentiments and seek independence, thereby endangering the lives of their demon brethren, hindering the development of the demon race, and jeopardizing the rule of the Heavenly Court, etc...]

[You tearfully denounced the disloyalty of the Jie and Chan sects and their attempts to undermine the unity of the demon race; your unwavering love for Heaven is as clear as day!]

[You succeeded. The Heavenly Emperor took this matter very seriously and immediately began investigating the criminal evidence of the "Intercepting and Brainwashing Anti-Heaven and Anti-Demon Forces." He quickly made progress, and although it's unknown what Di Jun discovered, the Heavenly Emperor was furious...]

Soon after, the Heavenly Court dispatched its elite forces. Three hundred and sixty-five Taiyi Golden Immortals and Daluo Golden Immortals, along with Star Lords, jointly set up the Heavenly Court's top-tier formation, the "Zhou Tian Star Array." At the same time, Emperor Jun wielded the Hetu and Luoshu, Taiyi wielded the Chaos Bell, carrying the Heavenly Court's flourishing fortune, and top-tier powerful beings such as Demon Master Kunpeng, Sun Goddess Xihe, Empress Wangshu, and Heavenly Consort Yinglong prepared for battle.

The Heavenly Court also issued a decree, in the name of the only legitimate government in the primordial world, ordering Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of earth immortals; Styx, the ancestor of the Blood Sea; the twelve ancestral witches of Buzhou Mountain; Hongyun, the ancestor of the scattered immortals; the Azure Dragon of the East; the Vermilion Bird of the South; the White Tiger of the West; the Black Tortoise of the North; and all other great supernatural beings of ancient and modern times to participate in the battle and lend their assistance.

When all parties had gathered, the Heavenly Emperor, in the Lingxiao Palace, angrily denounced the two sages, Shangqing and Yuqing, for attempting to overthrow the only legitimate Heavenly Court in the primordial world, as designated by the Dao Ancestor. He argued that this was a betrayal of the essence of immortality, a disgrace to the Dao Ancestor's trust, and that they were unworthy of being sages or establishing a great religion!

The immortals were stunned, but as Di Jun presented one piece of evidence after another, their expressions gradually became serious...

Soon after, under the leadership of the Heavenly Court, the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array surrounded Kunlun Mountain, where the Three Pure Ones resided. The great supernatural beings also launched a full-scale attack on the mountain's protective array, causing the earth, wind, water, and fire to rage chaotically, turning thousands of miles into nothingness!

Meanwhile, far away in the Eastern Wilderness human territory, the disciples of Jie Chan, who were busy with various "de-urbanization" and "de-civilization" activities, were suddenly arrested by the Heavenly Court army. Hundreds of saintly disciples were bewildered and had their three flowers and five qi cut off and were taken away in a sealed manner...

[Many days later, the two sages of Yuqing and Shangqing were forced to separate from Taiqing, taking their belongings with them and leaving Kunlun Mountain, where they had lived for thousands of years since their transformation. Yuqing moved to Guishan in the westernmost part of the primordial world, and Shangqing moved to Jin'ao Island in the East Sea. The Three Pure Ones were no longer of the same lineage.]

Thus, the Heavenly Court relented, releasing a few direct disciples of the two sects whose cultivation had been completely diminished. The remaining hundreds of registered disciples were judged by the God of Justice and sentenced to "rebellion against Heaven," "incitement to rebellion," "betrayal of their master and ancestors," "destruction of immortal civilization," "disloyalty to the Heavenly Emperor," "conspiracy to subvert the Heavenly Emperor," "organization of an illegal organization," "species discrimination," and so on.

[His crimes are heinous and unforgivable! He is to be immediately taken to the execution ground for public execution!]

Below the Demon-Slaying Platform, you cheered with joy, your revenge fulfilled, you were utterly delighted, for you scoundrels had schemed against me!

[However, this good fortune didn't last long. Although the Heavenly Court had tried its best to conceal your existence, for the Sages, there was nothing they couldn't find if they wanted to. Your existence was soon locked onto by the secrets of Heaven.]

[The sage's face was ripped off, and he was naturally furious. Not long after, retaliation came from the East Sea and the West. You died suddenly in the Heavenly Court classroom. When Emperor Jun learned of this, he granted you a grand funeral. Your heroic name spread throughout the primordial world and will be remembered by countless descendants...]

[You died. Your wrong choice led to a wrong ending... but at least you were satisfied. Two saints lost face because of you, and the saints' direct disciples, such as Guang Chengzi and Duobao Daoren, had their three flowers and five qi reduced because of you. Thousands of Yuanhui's arduous cultivation can only be passed over. Hundreds of saints' nominal disciples were also dragged down with you.]

[That felt great, and that's it!]
