Primordial Era: I rule the great sect and command all immortals.

"hehe……"

Mencius chuckled. Before he arrived, there had been a meeting within the Jie Sect. As long as no one was targeting the Jie Sect, he would not concern himself with today's events!

Fight all you want!

Grand Master Xuandu and Guang Chengzi also closed their eyes and focused their minds, as if they were asleep, without any expression at all.

Meanwhile, the Sandalwood Merit Buddha was turning his prayer beads and silently reciting Buddhist scriptures, similarly detached from worldly affairs.

As for Bai Ze and Hou Yi, they didn't hold any high position in the Four Realms, so whether they spoke or not was of no use in this situation.

The high-ranking officials of the Heavenly Court, including the Heavenly Official who bestows blessings during the Upper Yuan Festival, the Earthly Official who pardons sins during the Middle Yuan Festival, the Water Official who relieves calamities during the Lower Yuan Festival, the Great Emperor of Longevity of the South Pole, the Great Emperor of Azure Splendor of the East Pole, and the God of Hooked Chen, have remained completely silent.

They were all representatives of various religious sects in the Heavenly Court. Since the major sects remained silent, these people naturally wouldn't step forward.

Looking around the room, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West had extremely unpleasant expressions.

How could these two not know what everyone was thinking?

The Sage Sect is clearly not going to take care of this matter. If they don't, someone else has to!

The will of the six sages and the two Hunyuan must be fully implemented, especially since there is also the decree of Hongjun Daozu behind it. However, to accomplish this, we must deal with these powerful beings.

With so many people opposing, even the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West couldn't do anything. No matter how powerful they are, they can't suppress so many people.

However, if these powerful beings were to receive benefits, the major sects would clearly not participate. Therefore, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West would have to provide these resources.

The two of them suffered huge losses!

This isn't a small piece of land that can be used to appease so many people.

The two of them would need to cede a portion of the "Thirty-Three Heavens" territory in order to satisfy the appetites of these powerful beings.

"Everyone! This time, to compensate for your losses, the Heavenly Court is willing to cede the Taihuang Wengzhong Heaven and the Wusijiang You Heaven for you to discuss and jointly manage, as your compensation!"

There was no other way; the Jade Emperor was a bachelor, so he simply gave up two top-tier Great Thousand Worlds.

"Hmm! That would be fine!"

Ancestor Styx's eyes flashed, and he nodded, agreeing first.

With the addition of some territory belonging to Taihuang Wengzhongtian and Wusijiang Youtian, it can be considered that they have received some compensation.

Although these resources combined are not as strong as the peak strength of the Asura Cult, they are enough to make up for some of the losses.

As for whether the Styx Ancestor wants more, it depends on whether the Heavenly Court and the various major religions agree. He knows that this is the highest price the Jade Emperor can offer.

When Zhen Yuanzi and the others saw that the Styx Ancestor had agreed, they nodded and let the Jade Emperor go, no longer arguing with him.

"Alright! Since everyone agrees, let's discuss the second proposal! That is, for all races, religions, and factions to reorganize their armies to prepare for protecting the primordial world!"

The Jade Emperor then raised a second proposal.

"This is only natural! Both the Human Sect and the Chan Sect will prepare for war with all their might."

Without the Jade Emperor needing to say anything, Grand Master Xuandu agreed to this.

The others nodded in agreement, as the various religious sects would not hold them back on this issue.

They are a sect of saints, and they understand how terrifying the calamities to come will be.

If they don't prepare now, they'll regret it when the great calamity strikes.

"Heh heh! If everyone here is going to contribute, then what about the most powerful race, humanity? Aren't they the protagonists of heaven and earth? Aren't they the favorites of the Heavenly Dao?"

When everyone agreed, Chi You smiled coldly and said this.

"yes!"

"Chi You's words make sense!"

"It's impossible for us to be fighting for the country while someone else is sitting on it from behind, isn't it?"

"Yes! Great Celestial Venerable, please explain whether the human race is participating in the great war to defend the primordial world as an independent race?"

When someone takes the lead, others will naturally follow.

Soon, discussions arose, and it was clear that people were not particularly satisfied with the human race's inaction.

"this……"

The Jade Emperor's face was grim. Although he was the ruler of the four realms, how could he possibly command the human race?

Within the four realms, there are various sects that impose constraints, and within the chaos, there are the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the "Fire Cloud Cave," along with eight top human experts who suppress the human race's fortune. The human race simply doesn't take them seriously.

This time, for the grand gathering in the primordial world, the Jade Emperor never considered inviting the human experts from "Fire Cloud Cave".

Now, suddenly being asked this question, he immediately became restless and didn't know how to answer it.

"Chi You! Stop your nonsense! Our Xuanmen, the three religions, and Buddhism all rely on human disciples. We have many human disciples, and their participation in the war naturally represents the human race."

Guang Chengzi opened his eyes, a flash of cold light, and coldly rebuked Chi You.

In the last great calamity, he was almost destroyed by the "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance". Now, Guang Chengzi's cultivation has been fully restored, and he is at his peak.

Guang Chengzi was naturally unwilling to swallow this insult, and his first thought was to cause trouble for Chi You.

"Guang Chengzi! You're courting death! Do you think you can lecture me? Believe me, in the last great eon, I beat you so badly you were running for your life. Today, I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"

Chi You was a powder keg. Enraged by Guang Chengzi, he immediately stood up from his seat and glared at Guang Chengzi.

A great battle is about to break out!

The group of powerful beings watched with great interest, and no one dared to intervene, fearing that the two were not fighting intensely enough.

The Jade Emperor's face turned completely dark. These bastards didn't give him any face at all!

"kill!"

What's even more outrageous is Chi You's harsh words; he attacked right after he finished speaking.

He grabbed at Guang Chengzi with his palm, and "Hehehe," tens of thousands of fierce ghosts immediately let out sharp laughter, combining together to form ferocious faces that resembled both humans and beasts, baring their fangs and claws as they tore at Guang Chengzi.

"Chi You! You mere nobody, how could you possibly defeat me? You weren't put on the 'Investiture of the Gods' list, were you? Now you're no longer invincible, are you?"

Guang Chengzi sat imposingly in his chair, without getting up. With a single grab, he created an independent space, drawing all the vengeful spirits into the world.

In Guang Chengzi's hands, the world first expanded, then shrank, and with a "bang," the entire world was annihilated, and the tens of thousands of vengeful ghosts were all reduced to ashes in the destruction of the world.

"Guang Chengzi, you're asking for death!"

Guang Chengzi's words immediately broke Chi You's defenses. Being beaten to death and listed on the "Investiture of the Gods" was an utter disgrace for him.

The only saving grace was that this time, due to external pressure, he was able to rebuild his physical body, so that his cultivation was not hopeless.

Now, Guang Chengzi has touched on Chi You's deepest sore spot, which enraged Chi You so much that he lunged at Guang Chengzi!

In an instant, even the peaceful and beautiful Heaven, with its perpetually clear skies, began to change. Rolling dark clouds gathered and appeared above Chi You's head.

Within those dark clouds, demons could be seen baring their fangs and claws, emitting sharp howls, as if they were about to pounce on the celestial experts below.

"presumptuous!"

Before Guang Chengzi could make a move, the Jade Emperor was completely enraged. He slammed his fist on the table and shouted loudly.

At the same time, the divine light of the imperial way flew out from the Jade Emperor's body, forming nine true dragons. With a roar, they flew between Chi You and Guang Chengzi, separating the two!

The "Haotian Mirror" was even more powerful; when it shone in the sky, the dense dark clouds in the void dissipated in the mirror's light.

In an instant, the Jade Emperor made a series of moves, displaying a power that caused all the great supernatural beings to take notice.

Even Mencius looked solemn and thoughtful as he gazed at the Jade Emperor.

In the previous great calamity, someone gave Zhu Yuanzhang the "Imperial Way True Qi Cultivation Method," which fueled Zhu Yuanzhang's ambition. In the end, the Jie Sect eliminated Zhu Yuanzhang and his accomplices, but the mysterious man in black robes escaped.

Could this person be related to Haotian?

Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Mencius's eyes. If this person really participated in the conspiracy against the Jie Sect, no matter whether he was the ruler of the four realms or not, he would be dealt with!

The Jie Sect will absolutely not tolerate any scheming or plotting!

"Hmph! Haotian, what do you mean? Are you trying to take sides?"

Xing Tian was displeased. Upon seeing his mortal enemy, he suddenly stood up, took out his "Gan Qi Divine Axe," and was about to fight the Jade Emperor without saying a word!

Seeing the witch clan members go mad, the group of powerful cultivators below were excited. If neither side were ordinary people, some of these powerful cultivators would have started cheering.

"Ahem!"

When his old friend was being targeted, Grand Master Xuandu could no longer remain silent. He stood up, stepped between the two sides, and calmly said, "Everyone, the karma from the last great calamity has been settled. Let's stop fighting and think about how to deal with this great calamity!"

"Namo Amitabha Buddha!"

The Buddha of Sandalwood Merit also spoke, "You Human Sect and Chan Sect, be quiet and don't deliberately target the Witch Clan. This matter was caused by Guang Chengzi's provocation."

Upon hearing this, the Sandalwood Merit Buddha was immediately glared at by Guang Chengzi.

"hehe……"

The powerful beings below sneered repeatedly. It seems that you saintly sects are not much better. Isn't this another internal strife?

How can we form an alliance like this?

How can we fight against external forces?

"Boom!"

At this moment, suddenly, the void trembled, and a beam of azure light pierced through the void of the Heavenly Court from an unknown space-time and descended into the "Dou Niu Palace".

"A decree from a Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal!"

At this moment, all the powerful cultivators were startled and stopped, becoming obedient.

Previously, they could dislike each other and fight each other without fear of anyone. But now that the Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal has noticed them, they immediately became timid and as obedient as could be.

Mencius, among these people, was overjoyed and loudly proclaimed, "We respectfully welcome the decree of the Chaos Dao Lord!"

"Respectfully welcoming the decree of the Chaos Dao Lord!"

The other powerful beings then realized what was happening, and regardless of whether they were allies or enemies, they all obediently bowed and paid their respects. Even figures like Xing Tian and Chi You were no exception.

Several harsh blows from reality have made even the stubborn members of the Witch Clan finally come to terms with reality.

The Primordial Saint and the Primordial Golden Immortal are not people like them to provoke. It is what ordinary people like them should do to show respect to these great figures.

"You religions, races, and sects must not fight among yourselves!"

From within the azure light came the voice of the Chaos Dao Lord: "The affairs of the human race will be handled by this humble Daoist. With the 'Cataclysm of the Heavenly Demon' descending, all living beings in the four realms of the Primordial World, regardless of race, must take it upon themselves to protect the Primordial World, and there must be no mistakes!"

"We will humbly obey the Daoist Lord's decree!"

With the Chaos Dao Lord setting the tone, who dares to disobey?

In an instant, all the immortals in the "Bullfighting Palace" responded, and no one dared to raise any objection.

The azure light lingered in the "Dou Niu Palace" for a while. Seeing that none of the great supernatural beings had any objections, it then swept away from the "Dou Niu Palace" and returned to the "Chaos Boundless Heaven" of the Thirty-Three Heavens.

After the aura of the Chaos Dao Lord completely disappeared, it took quite a while before everyone calmed down.

Chi You, Xing Tian, ​​Guang Chengzi, the Jade Emperor, and the others stopped confronting each other and took their seats, no longer discussing the previous events.

With the Chaos Dao Lord set to step in and discuss the next steps with the human race, these powerful beings naturally knew that a master of the Primordial Chaos level was a man of his word, and what he said had to be fulfilled.

Humans will certainly participate in the future great war.

In this way, none of them felt any psychological imbalance.

At this moment, within the "Boundless Chaos Heaven," the Chaos Dao Lord shook his head slightly. The various forces in the prehistoric world were intertwined and complex, making it difficult even for a sage to untangle them. It would be difficult to expect the major sects to work together in the future.

Since I took action earlier, I should resolve this matter myself.

Thinking of this, Chaos Dao Lord moved and left the "Boundless Chaos Heaven" heading towards Chaos!

Now, all the saints and primordial beings have received the decree from Dao Ancestor Hongjun, allowing them to return to the primordial world. However, there is one force that has not received this decree.

This is the sacred land of the human race, "Fire Cloud Cave".

This time, Chaos Dao Lord is going to "Fire Cloud Cave" to discuss with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors the possibility of humanity becoming an independent race and participating in the future great calamity.

Before long, Chaos Dao Lord arrived in front of the "Fire Cloud Cave".

The aura of the Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal was like a lighthouse in the dark night, and the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors in the "Fire Cloud Cave" could see it clearly.

"The teacher is here! We'll go out to greet her quickly!"

Having not seen him for many years, Emperor Fuxi sensed the aura of the Chaos Dao Lord once again and stood up, speaking with great excitement.

"That's excellent! Quickly welcome the teacher!"

The Earthly Emperor Shennong and the Human Emperor Xuanyuan were equally excited. The three emperors had been nurtured by the Chaos Dao Lord and were finally able to reunite with their teacher today.

The other five emperors naturally dared not be negligent and all rose to their feet. (End of Chapter)
