Primordial Era: I am a member of the Jie Sect, and I am the God of Literature.

Chapter 44 The Nine Heavens Register of the Supreme Law, the Register of Life of the People of Rongzhen, the Seven Killings of the Northern Dipper, in charge of all literary affairs under heaven!

Haotian naturally welcomed Su Shao Chen and his two companions to the Heavenly Court. Moreover, in order to show his regard for the disciples of the sages and to attract more disciples of the sages and immortals from the prehistoric world to the Heavenly Court, Haotian bestowed upon the three of them a nine-thousand-year-old peach of immortality, along with numerous rare and precious materials, and personally issued an imperial decree to proclaim it to the prehistoric world!

"Luo Xuan, a second-generation disciple of the Jie Sect, cultivates the Great Dao of Fire and is proficient in fire-based supernatural powers. He is of noble rank and has accumulated immeasurable merit. In accordance with the will of Heaven, he is hereby appointed as the Southern Three Qi Fire Virtue Star Lord, the head of the Fire Department, and a righteous god. He also leads five other righteous gods of the Fire Department, and is in charge of all fire-related matters under Heaven!"

"Lu Yue, a second-generation disciple of the Jie Sect, cultivates the Great Dao of Plague and is proficient in the Dao of Plague. Now, he enters the Heavenly Court to follow the Heavenly Dao and acts according to the Great Dao of Plague. He is hereby appointed as the Great Emperor of Plague, in charge of all plagues in the world, and can also lead six righteous gods of the Plague Department to administer seasonal diseases!"

As for Luo Xuan and Lü Yue, these two second-generation disciples of the Jie Sect, who were still at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, Haotian considered their appointments very appropriately. Even their disciples were appointed, forming the Fire Department and the Plague Department respectively.

Moreover, both of them were granted the title of third-rank celestial official, the same as Venus.

Luo Xuan and Lü Yue were overjoyed to hear the Heavenly Emperor's words. This time, they not only received a nine-thousand-year-old peach from the Heavenly Court, but were also granted third-rank immortal positions. After the Heavenly Emperor spoke the Heavenly Mandate, a wave of Heavenly Court fortune fell upon them, causing their original cultivation levels to loosen somewhat.

The two men stepped forward, cupped their hands in greeting, and accepted the order.

"Su Shao Chen, a third-generation disciple of the Jie Sect, cultivated the Way of Literature and comprehended the Wenqu Star. He spread the Way of humanity, governed the world, and was favored by the Heavenly Dao. His merits were immeasurable. Now, in accordance with the Heavenly Dao and the will of the people, he is specially appointed as the Wenqu Star Lord, who governs the Big Dipper and is also the Yuanjun of the Big Dipper! He is in charge of the Way of Literature in the world, manages the literary affairs of the human world, and governs the blessings and evil deeds. He follows the Nine Heavens Registers above, commands the eyes and ears of ghosts and gods in the middle, and leads the register of the lives of the people below. He assists the Heavenly Emperor and records all living beings in the primordial world."

Upon hearing Haotian's conferment, both Lü Yue and Luo Xuan gasped in shock, but they quickly regained their composure. Conferring the title of Wenqu Star Lord to their nephew Shao Chen would be rather unimpressive.

However, the Northern Dipper Goddess was different. She not only valued her junior disciple Shao Chen, but also intended to buy his bones with a thousand pieces of gold.

Even Su Shao Chen was surprised when he heard the title bestowed upon him by the Heavenly Emperor. He had not expected the Heavenly Emperor to be so domineering, not only bestowing upon him the title of Wenqu Star Lord, but also entrusting him with the command of the Big Dipper.

The Southern Dipper governs life, while the Northern Dipper governs death. The seven stars of the Northern Dipper may not be prominent in the prehistoric world now, but in later generations, every star in the Northern Dipper will be extremely famous. The Heavenly Emperor directly appointed him as the Lord of the Northern Dipper, in charge of all affairs of the Northern Dipper. For Su Shao Chen, this can be considered an extraordinary opportunity!

Although his divine position is high, as a Golden Immortal of advanced rank, he is only granted a third-grade immortal title. If he were to advance to Taiyi or even Daluo in the future, he would not only be concurrently the Lord of the Big Dipper, but would become the Lord of the Big Dipper, in charge of the Big Dipper...

Su Shao Chen also stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your high regard, Heavenly Emperor. I will live up to your expectations and make contributions to the Heavenly Court."

"Good!" Haotian smiled faintly, then waved his sleeve, and the Heavenly Emperor's decree was proclaimed to the prehistoric world, so that all the great powers of the prehistoric world could see what it contained.

In particular, when they saw that two second-generation disciples of the Jie Sect had gone to the Heavenly Court to take up their posts, the various forces reacted differently.

Seeing this, some powerful forces also sent some young disciples to join the Heavenly Court, hoping to improve their cultivation by using the Heavenly Court's fortune and resources while cultivating good relations with the Heavenly Emperor...

After seeing the Heavenly Court's decree, Zhen Yuanzi of Wuzhuang Temple stopped paying attention to it.

In the Eastern Kunlun Mountains, the Queen Mother of the West held the supreme treasure, the Kunlun Mirror. It seemed the mirror could lock onto countless planes and manifest the Heavenly Dao, constantly emanating strands of the power of law. Her aura was infinitely profound. If some quasi-saints were to witness this aura, they would undoubtedly exclaim in astonishment that the Queen Mother of the West's realm had reached an extremely profound level, perhaps even far surpassing her peers…

After seeing the Heavenly Court's decree, she remained calm. However, upon seeing Su Shao Chen enter the Heavenly Court, she seemed to have thought of something and began to mutter to herself.

"The various schools of thought in literature and philosophy are vying for dominance... their origins are indeed extraordinary, and they have some connection with the plane I sought through the Kunlun Mirror... you are destined to be with me..."

In Huoyun Cave, the ancient sages of the human race were all pleased to see Su Shao Chen enter the Heavenly Court. Su Shao Chen had been cultivating the Way of Literature and spreading it in the human lands, so it was only natural for him to become the Star Lord of Literature.

Moreover, the human race is not opposed to going to the Heavenly Court to take up a post. In fact, they will arrange for some humans who have encountered bottlenecks in their cultivation to go to the Heavenly Court to take up a post and gain experience, which may bring them some benefits.

The strongest reactions came from some ancient immortals and sage sects.

Seeing the treatment offered by the Heavenly Court, many wandering immortals also longed to go there and join its ranks...

The attitudes of the Sage Sect were mixed. The Human Sect had few disciples to begin with and did not pay much attention, while the disciples of the Chan Sect showed disdain.

Especially Cihang, Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and Julusun—even if they had no other way out, they would choose the Western Paradise rather than the Heavenly Court…

During their travels through the primordial world, they unexpectedly encountered the Western Sage Zhunti, who provided them with numerous acts of assistance throughout their journey. They were all aware of Zhunti's origins, but both sides tacitly kept it to themselves...

Guang Chengzi, Yu Ding Zhenren, and Yun Zhongzi also felt that the disciples of the Jie Sect had done the right thing. No matter how bad the Heavenly Court was, it was still the orthodox primordial world with abundant resources and the fortune of the Heavenly Court. Even the disciples of saints could not guarantee that their cultivation would continue to improve.

Especially among the disciples of the Jie Sect under my uncle, the disciples varied greatly in ability, and some even had heavy karma...

Those with good aptitude will have sages preaching to them, and their cultivation will naturally continue to improve. But it's hard to say about those disciples with average or below-average aptitude. Even if they have sages preaching to them, their cultivation may not be satisfactory. Entering the Heavenly Court is a matter of fate.

However, despite their admiration, as human dynasties changed and the doctrines of the Chan and Jie sects clashed, the disciples of the two sects were always secretly competing with each other, chasing after one another, and neither willing to concede to the other.

Now, among the third-generation disciples of the Jie Sect, there is someone like Su Shao Chen, whose methods and thoughts are extraordinary. In addition, another member of the Sanxiao Sect is about to break through to the Quasi-Saint level, which makes them deeply wary!

……

The members of the Jie Sect reacted in various ways to this.

As the eldest disciple, Duobao was very supportive when he saw his junior brother Shaochen taking Lü Yue and junior brother Luo Xuan to the Heavenly Court to take up their posts.

Their Jie Sect teaches without discrimination, and has many disciples. Even those whose aptitude is not ideal but who aspire to the Great Dao are admitted to the Heavenly Court through a special connection, allowing them to further their cultivation with the help of the Heavenly Court's resources...

Moreover, not to mention that Junior Nephew Shao Chen also carries the decree of the Sage, so there must be a deeper meaning behind his actions. Thinking of this, Duo Bao said to his disciple, "Junior Nephew Shao Chen has entered the Heavenly Court. Would you like to enter the Heavenly Court with him for cultivation?"

"Reporting to Master, this disciple is willing." She wasn't too concerned about serving in the Heavenly Court; what mattered to her was Su Shao Chen. Since Su Shao Chen went to the Heavenly Court, she would also go there, and perhaps exchange sparring and discuss the Dao with her junior brother Shao Chen...

[Regarding the Kunlun Mirror of the Queen Mother of the West, the author has designated it as a supreme innate treasure, possessing endless mysteries, which will be revealed later~]
